In this paper, we propose Total RMS(Radiation Monitoring System) for nuclear and nuclear medicine. The proposed system can expand and control Stack Monitor, Area Monitor, and Water(Liquid) Monitor into one system, and can monitor the signals measured by each radiation detector in an integrated manner. The proposed system consists of a sensor module that detects the radiation, a display unit that displays the radiation dose near the radiation detection location, an alarm unit that reports the alarm when the detected radiation dose reaches the danger level, A Main Hub for collecting and storing the contents to the remote monitoring system, and an RMS Monitoring Unit for clearly displaying the measured radiation dose at the remote site. In order to evaluate the performance of Total RMS for the proposed nuclear and nuclear medicine field, it is confirmed that the measurement uncertainty is less than 8.5% and it operates normally within ${\pm}15%$ of the international standard.

In this paper, we designed and implemented the system for telemetering ELF(Extremely Low Frequency) magnetic field intensity. The magnetic field measurement system used a 3-axis magnetic field sensor to measure the magnetic field with isotropy and the equalizer to compensate the frequency characteristic in band. By multiplexing three output signals of the magnetic field sensor in time domain, we got the uniform gain and frequency characteristic among three axes. This system was designed that the magnetic field measurement level range was $0.01{\sim}10.0\;uT$ and the measurement frequency band was $40{\sim}180\;Hz$. The control system would access to the magnetic field measurement system with RF and the maximum access distance was 1.0 km. We confirmed that the measurement level error of the fabricated system was within 5 %. The fabricated system was installed to a golf practice range where a high voltage power transmission line was crossed.

In this paper, the two design techniques of the embedded system which provides a wireless image observation with temporary ad-hoc network are proposed and developed. The first method is based on the embedded system design technique for a nearly real-time wireless short observation application, having a specific remote monitoring node with a built-in image processing function, and having the maximum rate of 1 fps (frame per second) wireless image transmission capability of a $160{\times}128$size image. The second technique uses the embedded system for a general wireless long observation application, consisting of the main node, the remote monitoring node, and the system controller with built-in image processing function, and the capability of the wireless image transmission rate of 1/3 fps. The proposed system uses the wireless ad-hoc network which is widely accepted as a short range, low power, and bidirectional digital communication, the hardware are consisted of the general developed modules, a small digital camera, and a PC, and the embedded software based upon the Zigbee stack and the user interface software are developed and tested on the implemented module.

In this paper, we propose a tube-hole center detection vision algorithm verifying the position of a tele-controlled robot and providing visual information for increasing reliability and efficiency in the diagnosis of steam generator (SG) tubes in nuclear power plant. A tele-controlled robot plays a role in carrying the probe used in inspecting the integrity of SG tubes. Thus accurately locating a tele-controlled robot on the desired tube-hole center is important issue for reliability of inspection. To do this work, we have to find the tube-hole center locations from the input image. At first, we apply the three-class segmentation method modified for this application. WE extract minimum bounding rectangles (MBRs) in the theresholded binary image. Second, for discriminating between MBR by tube and MBR by noise, we introduce the MBR rejection rules as knowledge-based rule set. MBRs are divided into the very dark region MBRs and the very bright region MBRs. In order to describe the region of complete tube-hole, the MBRs need a process of pairing each other. We then can find the tube-hole center from the paired MBR. For more accurately finding the tube-hole center in several sequential images, the centers of some frames need to be averaged. We tested the performance of our method using hundreds of real images.

본 연구에서는 생체 임피던스를 이용하여 3채널 상지(upper arm) 운동 분석 시스템을 제작하였다. 각 채널은 상지의 외전(supination)과 내전(pronation), 팔꿈치(elbow)의 폄과 굽힘, 손목(wrist)의 평과 굽힘에 따른 각 관절의 임피던스 변화를 얻을 수 있도록 설계되었다. 상체 임피던스는 전극의 부착위치에 의존하므로 정밀한 감지를 위해 상지 운동에 대한 임피던스의 변화와 각도계(goniometer)의 각도 변화와의 상관관계를 통하여 상관 관계가 높고, 변화량이 가장 크고 다른 관절의 움직임에 따른 영향이 최소인 곳을 찾아 이를 최적의 전극 위치로 정하였다. 그리고, 선정된 최적의 전극 위치에서 임피던스 변화를 얻어 상지 운동을 분석해 보았다. 최적의 전극 위치에서 손목과 팔꿈치의 각도 변화와 임피던스 변화의 상관 계수는 각각 0.94, -0.97로 아주 높은 상관 관계를 보였다. 또한 이전의 다른 연구에서 임피던스 방법으로 구현해 본적이 없는 팔의 회전(rotation)도 분석이 가능하였다. 이 시스템은 피검자의 동작에 거의 제한을 주지 않고, 가벼우며, 장시간 측정이 용이할 뿐만 아니라 시스템 구성이 영상 분석기에 비해서 단순하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 방법은 재활과 생체역학, 로봇의 원격 제어, 그리고 가상 현실에서의 동작 구현 등에 활용 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A new prediction scheme has been proposed for the robust teleoperation in a non-visible environment. The positioning error caused by the time delay in the non-visible environment has been compensated for by the Smith predictor and the sensory data have been estimated by the Grey model. The Smith predictor is effective for the compensation of the positioning error caused by the time delay with a precise system model. Therefore the dynamic model of a mobile robot has been used in this research. To minimize the unstable and erroneous states caused by the time delay, the estimated sensor data have been sent to the operator. Through simulations, the possibility of compensating the errors caused by the time delay has been verified using the Smith predictor. Also the estimation reliability of the measurement data has been demonstrated. Robust teleoperations in a non-visible environment have been performed with a mobile robot to avoid the obstacles effective to go to the target position by the proposed prediction scheme which combines the Smith predictor and the Grey model. Even though the human operator is involved in the teleoperation loop, the compensation effects have been clearly demonstrated.

This paper describes a remote monitoring system of temperature controller for cold-storage, of farm produce. In the cold-storage, it is important that farm produces are fresh. Unfortunately, when an operator goes out from the cold-storage temperature change could be occurred due to the various reasons, for an example, a valve of cooler is broken. The temperature change results in a serious problem of the quality of farm produce. To prevent the problem, the operator has to look to the current state of the temperature of the cold-storage, even he is in long away. Thus, the monitoring system to show the temperature should be required to the operator who can move away. Therefore, this paper propose of the remote monitoring system of the temperature. The proposed system is expected to help the operator's facilities, and the management of farm produce.
