In order to successfully exploit underwater resources, the first step would be a marine environmental research and exploration on the seafloor. Traditionally one sets up a long-term underwater experimental unit on the seafloor and retrieves the unit later after a certain period time. Essential to these applications is the reliable teleoperation and telemetering of the unit. This study presents ultrasonic-wave remote control system and an underwater sound recognition algorithm that can identify the sound signal without the influence of disturbances due to underwater environmental changes. The proposed method provides a means suitable for units which require low power dissipation and long-time underwater operation. We demonstrate its ability of securing stability and fast sound recognition through experimental methods.

This paper proposes a flow-rate control system for industrial valves. Industrial valves are used in piping systems to control the flow rate and pressure. In general, valves used in pipelines are classified into globe valves, butterfly valves, and ball valves according to the shape. Motor, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems are used for operating valves. The flow meter should measure the flow rate when configuring the flow-rate control system. On the other hand, because the flow rate of the valve can be expressed by flow coefficient, a control scheme is proposed using the pressure deviation, which measures at the front and rear of the valve. The transfer function for the valve, according to the control input, was estimated using the signal compression method. Based on the induced transfer function, the disturbance observer was designed to improve the command following the performance of the valve stem. The performance of the proposed control method is compared with the flow-rate control result using the flow meter used.

As it is changing into aging society, rehabilitation, welfare and sports industry markets are being expanded fast. Especially, the field of vital signals interface to control welfare instruments like wheelchair, rehabilitation ones like an artificial arm and leg and general electronic ones is a new technology field in the future. Also, this technology can help not only the handicapped, the old and the weak and the rehabilitation patients but also the general public in various application field. The commercial bio-signal measurement instruments and interface systems are complicated, expensive and large-scaled. So, there are a lot of limitations for using in real life with ease. this thesis proposes a wireless transmission interface system that uses EMG(electromyogram) signals and a control module to manipulate hardware systems with portable size. We have designed a hardware module that receives the EMG signals occurring at the time of wrist movement and eliminated noises with filter and amplified the signals effectively. DSP(Digital Signal Processor) chip of TMS320F2808 which was supplied from TI company was used for converting into digital signals from measured EMG signals and digital filtering. We also have used PCA(Principal Component Analysis) technique and classified into four motions which have right, left, up and down direction. This data was transmitted by wireless module in order to display at PC monitor. As a result, the developed system obtains recognition success ratio above 85% for four different motions. If the recognition ratio will be increased with more experiments. this implemented system using EMG wrist direction signals could be used to control various hardware systems.

Flow characteristics of the control-rod-attached 2-dimensional circular cylinder was accomplished using by PIV techniques. model tests had been carried out with different diameters of control rods(d/D=0.1 through d/D=0.5). and the Reynolds number Re=15,000 based on the cylinder diameter(D=50mm) to predict the performance of the model and the two-frame grey-level cross-correlation method had been used to obtain the velocity distribution in the flow field. 50mm circular cylinder had been used during the whole experiments and measured results had been compared with each other. The measured results have been compared with each case. therefore this article identifies not only the mean velocity profiles but also the control effects of the control rods.

최근 선박의 자율운항기술이 활발하게 연구되어 오면서, 경로추종 제어 및 충돌회피 등의 자율운항 기술 연구가 많이 진행되고 있으며 그에 따른 시뮬레이션과 실해역 시험 등도 활발하게 수행되고 있다. 이러한 자율운항기술 중 본 연구에서는 AUV(Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) 진회수 시 모함에 활용되며 쌍동선형을 갖는 쌍동형 무인수상선을 대상으로 경로추종 제어에 대한 실해역 시험을 수행한 내용을 소개한다. 대상선인 쌍동형 무인수상선은 배수량이 약 10ton, 최대속도 10knots를 기준으로 설계된 선형이며 Sail drive 타입의 쌍축 추진기를 탑재하고 있으며 Fig. 1에 나타내었다. 실해역 시험은 경기도 화성시에 위치한 제부마리나 전면 해역에서 여러 속도에 대해 Fig. 2의 경로(빨간색)를 활용하여 수행되었다. 해당 경로는 변침각이 45도까지 이루어져 있다. 경로추종 제어 알고리즘은 목표경유점을 향하기 위해 선수각을 제어하는 부분과 목표속도로 추진하기 위해 속도를 제어하는 부분으로 나뉘어져 있다. 선수각 제어 시 경로와 무인선과의 위치 오차를 줄이는 방향으로 선수각이 향할 수 있도록 알고리즘이 설계되었다. 속도 제어의 경우 RPM 별로 실제 속도를 계측하여 데이터화 한 후, 실제 속도가 명령 속도와 다를 경우 RPM을 가감하여 명령 속도로 추진하기 위해 제어할 수 있도록 하였다. Fig. 2에서 파란색 선은 설계한 알고리즘을 활용하여 경로추종 제어를 한 결과의 궤적을 보여준다.

Railroad bridges account for 25% of the entire high-speed rail network. Railway bridges are subject to gradual structural degradation or fatigue accumulation due to consistent and repeating excitation by fast moving trains. Wireless sensing technology has opened up a new avenue for bridge health monitoring owing to its low-cost, high fidelity, and multiple sensing capability. On the other hand, measuring the transient response during train passage is quite challenging that the current wireless sensor system cannot be applied due to the intrinsic time delay of the sensor network. Therefore, this paper presents a framework for monitoring such transient responses with wireless sensing systems using 1) real-time excessive vibration monitoring through ultra-low-power MEMS accelerometers, and 2) post-event time synchronization scheme. The ultra-low power accelerometer continuously monitors the vibration and trigger network when excessive vibrations are detected. The entire network of wireless smart sensors starts sensing through triggering and the post-event time synchronization is conducted to compensate for the time error on the measured responses. The results of this study highlight the potential of detecting the impact load and triggering the entire network, as well as the effectiveness of the post-event time synchronized scheme for compensating for the time error. A numerical and experimental study was carried out to validate the proposed sensing hardware and time synchronization method.

Co-generation systems have been spreading rapidly over the past 10 years in Korea and most of these systems are interconnected with electric power systems. However, better control and protection models are still needed for analysis of these systems to ensure stable operation with the grid. This paper proposes improved EMTDC models for control fad protection analysis of grid-connected co-generation systems. Through on-site characteristic testing, the models were developed and the model parameters were determined. The models were applied to a field co-generation system, and analysis of control and protection was performed showing a good match to the simulation results.

The purpose of this study is to accurately estimate the wind-induced responses of a tall building structure for using the estimated responses in the process of calculating the optimal force of an active control device. Kalman filter was used for the estimation process and a 3-storied model structure on a shaking table was tested for the verification of the estimation accuracy. The system matrices of the model were constructed based on the mode parameters obtained by the system identification. The estimated displacement matched up well with the measured one. Finally, the wind-induced responses of a real 39-storied building structure excited by the typhoon MUIFA were estimated.

인구 과밀화 및 급격한 도시 팽창은 지상공간에서 거주하는 인간 삶의 질을 위협하고 있다. 따라서 지상공간의 개발을 억제하여 환경을 보호하고 도시 공간 이용의 효율성을 최대화하기 위해 지하 공간을 개발하고자 하는 움직임이 활발하다. 자연환경으로부터 격리된 구조인 지하공간은 지상공간에 비해 실내 공기 질을 쾌적한 상태로 유지하기 어려운 밀폐된 환경이므로 오랜 시간동안 상주하는 거주자 및 한시적 이용자들의 건강에 영향을 미치는 온도, 습도, $CO_2$, 먼지 등의 환경을 제어하기 위한 기술 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 지하공간의 쾌적도 향상을 위해 온 습도 및 $CO_2$, 먼지센서를 이용한 통합 센서를 제작하여 현재 지하공간의 환경정보를 실시간 모니터링하고 실내공간의 쾌적 지표를 기반으로 환풍기, 송풍기 등의 디바이스를 제어하기 위한 USN 기반의 환경제어시스템을 구현한다. 제안한 시스템을 통해 지하공간의 환경을 개선할 뿐만 아니라 고가의 계측 장비로 인한 비용 절감 및 이동성과 확장성 등의 부가적인 효과를 기대한다.
