기존 발전소의 재장전수탱크는 격납용기 외부에 설치되어 있으며, 압력/차압 계측기를 이용하여 재장전 수탱크 수위를 측정하고 있다. 한편, 개량형 경수로기 경우에는 재장전수탱크를 격납용기 하부에 설치하도록 되어 있으므로 격납용기 벽이나 수집체적조 및 원자로 공동과 인접하게 되어 수위감시를 위한 압력/차압 계측기를 격납용기내에 설치하는 것은 매우 어려울 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 격납용기내 재장전수탱크, 수집체적조 및 원자로 공동 수위계측기에 적용되는 미국 원자력규제위원회 및 전력연구소의 설계기준, 환경 및 기기생존 요건들을 검토한 후, 이에 따라 이 계측기들이 유지해야 할 설계 기능요건을 평가하고, 수위계측기의 형태 선정에 필요한 설계고려사항들을 파악하여 개량형 원자로의 해당 수위계측기의 선정 및 설계와 관련된 개념들을 설명하였다. 검토결과, 격납용기내 재장전수탱크 수위지시를 위해서는 압력/차압 계측기를 격납용기 외부에 설치하고, 수집체적조 및 원자로 공동의 수위감시를 위해서는 부유형 감지기를 사용하는 것이 발전소 운전 및 보수측면에서 장점이 있는 것으로 판단되어 이를 개량형 경수로 설계에 적용할 것을 제안하고자 한다.

This paper introduces a simple but effective method for recognizing vehicle models corresponding to each maker by information and images for moving vehicles. The proposed approach is implemented by combination of the breadth detection mechanism using the vehicle's pressure, exact height detection by a laser scanning, and license plate recognition for classifying specific vehicles. The implemented system is therefore capable of robust classification with real-time vehicle's moving images and established sensors. Simulation results using the proposed method on synthetic data as well as real world images demonstrate that proposed method can maintain an excellent recognition rate for moving vehicle models because of image acquisition by 2-D CCD and various image processing algorithms.

An assist device was developed to identify the epidural space by continously monitoring the air-filled catheter pressure. The pressure signal appropriately amplified and filtered enabled to alarm the needle introduction into the epidural space by thresholding detection. Ten LEDs provided a visual change of catheter pressure before alarming for user convenience. Clinical trials were performed in 30 patients with 83% success rate at the first trial. When failed, the second trial was enough for successful anesthesia. The air volume introduced during each anesthesia was less than 1ml, causing side effects. Air filling of the catheter could also minimize infection possibility. Therefore, the present device guarantees safe anesthesia with user convenience.

The present study explored effects of significance of study, pressure for study, and pressure for success on life satisfaction of adolescents, and moderating effect of parent-adolescent communication. Participants were 1,384 adolescents in elementary, middle, and high school, and they responded all the questionnaires by themselves. Results were as follows. Firstly, there were significant differences in extent of significance of study, pressure for study and success, parent-adolescent communication, and life satisfaction of adolescents according to their demographic variables. Secondly, the more they got significance on study, and the more their parents emphasized study and success, the lower their life satisfaction was. Finally, there was a moderating effect of parent-adolescent communication. As adolescents had a positive communication with their parents, the negative effects for the significance of study and pressure for study and success on their life satisfaction were lessened.

This study targets the city of Paju, Gyeonggi-do, where many challenges are facing ecological assets management due to the increase in recent development. Using the survey data provided by the National Institute of Ecology in Korea, the study analysed the differences in the local residents' perception of local ecological assets. The Q methodology, which is useful for revealing differences in opinions, was applied to classify the narrative groups, which had different points of view in evaluating each asset. Next, the study compared the differences in perceptions of the vulnerability of ecological assets. As a result of the analysis, the city of Paju was divided into two main narrative groups: a 'Nature Conservation Group' and a 'Heritage Conservation Group'. The Nature Conservation Group wanted to prioritize ecologically valuable assets, such as wetlands, brackish zones, and forests. The Heritage Conservation Group preferred preserving ecological assets having a cultural contexts, such as royal tombs, graves, and the surrounding landscape. Evaluating the ecological assets, the two groups identified 23 ecological sites under threat from development among the 25 ecological sites considered. The Nature Conservation Group noted the importance of sites such as the Sannam Wetlands, Gongneungcheon, Gongneungcheon Brackish Zone, and Simhak Mountain. These were considered to be the most vulnerable ecological assets in the city. The study found differences in the perceived values for each ecological asset by residents. The results can serve as useful data for decision-making on ecological asset management in the city of Paju.

In this paper, the fire extinguisher maintenance system using smart NFC communication and the real-time pressure measurement is proposed. The proposed system consists of three steps in the flow of information. The first step is to identify the fire extinguisher through NFC tagging in the fire extinguisher module using the smart device. The fire extinguisher appearance check and the real-time pressure measurement is performed in the second step, and the last step sends the check status information to the management server. In particular, the actual pressure value is calculated based on the angle of the green area and the indicating needle. Some experiments are conducted so as to verify the proposed system, and as a result, the proposed system shows that the administrator can effectively control the status information of fire safety check.

It is very essential to get the accurate classification of defects in primary pressure vessel weld for the safety of nuclear power plant. The signal analysis using the digital signal processing and pattern recognition is performed to classify UT defects extracting feature vector from ultrasonic signals. The minimum distance classifier and the maximum likelihood classifier based on statistics were applied in this experiment to discriminate ultrasonics data obtained form both the training specimens (slit, hole) and the testing specimens(crack, slag). The classification rate was measured using pattern classifier. Results of this study show the promise in solving the many flaw classification problems that exist today.

Among the fourth industrial revolution technologies, products related to healthcare using IoT and sensors are currently being developed. We design and develop an interaction system based on user standing posture recognition using multi-channel large area pressure sensors in this paper. To this end, first of all we investigate major sensor markets of the sensor industry and review technology trends and the current and future of smart healthcare. Based on this survey, we examine and compare cases developed at home and abroad for multi-channel large-area pressure sensors, which are key components of the system that we want to develop. We recognize the standing posture status of the user through the developed system and experiment with how effective it is actually in user posture calibration and apply the research results to various healthcare devices' medical fields based on this.

We have developed a textile capacitive pressure sensor for smart gait analysis. The proposed system can convert sensor signal into step counts and pressure levels by different posture. To evaluate the performance of insole type textile capacitive sensor, we measured capacitance change by increment of weights from 10 kg to 100 kg with 10 kg increment using M1 class rectangular weights (four 20 kg weights and two 10 kg weights) which have ${\pm}10%$ tolerance. The result showed non-linearity characteristic of a general capacitive pressure sensor. The test was performed according to a test protocol for four different postures (sitting, standing, standing on a left leg and standing on a right leg) and different walking speeds (1 km/h and 4 km/h). Five healthy male subjects were participated in each test. As we expected, the pressure level was changed by pressure distribution according to posture. Also, developed textile pressure sensor showed higher recognition rate (average 98.06 %) than commercial pedometer at all walking speed. Therefore, the proposed step counts and posture monitoring system using conductive textile capacitive pressure sensor proved to be a reliable and useful tool for monitoring gait parameters.
