최근 IT기술의 비약적인 발전과 더불어 사용자의 편의성을 극대화 시키는 웨어러블 컴퓨팅 기술이 주목을 받고 있다. 이러한 기술은 일반인뿐만 아니라 장애인들의 일상생활의 보조 도구에 활용되어 큰 도움이 될 것으로 예상된다. 본 논문에서는 시각 및 청각장애인을 위해 개발된 착용형 단말기들을 소개하고자 한다. 시각 장애인용 단말기인 SmartWand는 시각장애인용 지팡이에 부착하거나 손에 휴대할 수 있는 장치로, 시작장애인을 위한 보행 보조 및 색상과 명암 정보 인식 보조 기능을 갖춘 장치이다. SmarWand는 시각장애인이 보행 시 이용하는 기존의 지팡이로는 감지할 수 없는 전방의 장애물을 초음파 센서를 통해 탐지하여 촉각이나 음성으로 경고해주고, 물체의 색깔이나 주변의 밝기 정도를 측정하여 시각장애인에게 알려준다. 청각 장애인용 단말기인 SmarWatch는 손목에 착용하는 장치로서 아기 울음소리, 노크나 초인종 소리, 물 끓는 소리, 화재 경보 등 가정에서 발생하는 일상적인 소리를 인식할 수 있도록 해준다. SmartWatch는 입력 모듈의 마이크로 입력된 소리를 문선통신을 통해 컴퓨터로 전송한 후에 소리의 종류를 인식하고 적절한 제어신호를 다시 무선통신을 통해 전송받아 감지된 소리의 종류를 해당하는 진동과 시각정보로 표시해준다. 이런 착용형 단말기들을 통해 시각 및 청각 장애인의 일상 생활의 안정성과 편의성이 증대 되기를 기대한다.

In spite of the recent enforcement of policies to reduce traffic accidents, pedestrian safety accidents on the back road continue to occur. In this paper, we propose a device design to prevent traffic accidents capable of measuring distance and wireless communication to quickly notify pedestrians of the vehicle's approach in a safety blind spot. The accuracy of vehicle and pedestrian distance measurement was tested using ultrasonic and radar sensors with a wide sensing range, and the possibility of responding to accidents that could provide safety for pedestrians in emergency situations was verified through a wireless communication connectivity test between target boards.

Using ultrasonic irradiation, the separation and recovery of PV cell, made of silicon wafer, from PV module was carried out through selective decomposition of EVA used as an interlaminated binder. The ultrasonic cleaner of bath-type (Output: 130 W, Frequency: 40 kHz) was used as an ultrasonic apparatus in this research. With the fixed distance of 2 cm, from ultrasonic generator to PV cell, the experiment of EVA decomposition was performed in various organic solvents such as Toluene, Trichloroethylene, O-dichlorobenzene, Benzene. And also their concentrations and temperature was changed to survey the optimum conditions. However EVA can be decomposed perfectly at $55^{\circ}C$ within 160 min in 5 M of all kinds of solvent, PV cell may be recovered with being damaged or broken severely. This damage may be resulted from the swelling of EVA in the process of decomposition. Whereas, at the condition of 5 M at $65^{\circ}C$, PV cell can be recovered with the state of minor damage or crack. This implies that the decomposition rate of EVA increases with an increase of temperature, thereby EVA can be decomposed before the swelling of EVA layer. Conclusively, it is possible for PV cell to be recovered within 40 min, at $65^{\circ}C$ in 5 M, with less damage.

The method of measuring the nonlinear effect of ultrasonic waves is suggested as a new approach for the effective evaluation of material degradation. In sonic wave propagation, the existence of nonlinear effect can be demonstrated by the generation of higher order harmonic waves. So, at first, the mechanism of generating higher order harmonic components due to nonlinear effect was explained by using nonlinear elasticity. Next, we attempted to measure how much of the higher order harmonic component was generated in the degraded material. For this purpose, a measurement system mainly based on a high-powered nonlinear ultrasonic signal analysis system was constructed, and SS41 and SS45 specimen intentionally degraded by tensile load and fatigue load were tested. From the results, we confirmed that the measurement of nonlinear acoustic effect may be useful for the evaluation of material degradation.

Determination of dynamic shear modulus of soil was made by measuring directly the velocity of ultrasonic shear waves transmitted through the specimen. The PUNDIT, a generator and detector of ultrasonic waves, has been used to measure the propagation velocity. Forty -six tests of compacted soil at seven different void ratios and seven varying degrees of saturation with four types of materials were made in this study. The primary importance in this study was the investigation of the relations among the para meters which influenced G-modulus, As a results of analysis, the dynamic shear modulus of soil tends to decrease with an increase of void ratio, and also it is affected by soil types. In case of using PUNDIT, the proper range of the specimen length is from 5cm to 8cm. And the degree of saturation doesn't affect the dyn- amic shear modulus of soil.

An object transport system is driven by a conveyor belt system or a magnetic levitation system. It is an indispensable device in many fields and especially it is very important in the factory automation. However, the conventional transport system can damage precision optical components by the contact force and destroy the inner structure of semiconductor by the magnetic field. The new transport system for transporting without damage is required. The ultrasonic transport system is a device that transports objects on the elastic body using ultrasonic wave. In this paper, an object transport system using the ultrasonic wave is developed for transporting precision elements without damage. Traveling waves are generated by the ultrasonic wave generator fixed in both ends of the beam. The traveling wave of the ultrasonic transport system is theoretically analyzed. Transport direction of the object is examined according to phase difference and frequency. The theoretical results are verified by experiments.

In Musculoskeletal ultrasound examination, a linear transducer (12-5 MHz) with a contact surface length of 6 cm, which is commonly distributed in medical institutions, does not contact with bent fingers and wrist depressions only by using a conventional liquid ultrasound gel, which causes image loss. In order to solve this image loss, the use of commercially available Water gel pad is increasing. However, it is a disposable medical product. Repeated use is prohibited and expensive. In this study, in order to reduce the economic burden caused by the use of the commercialized Water gel Pad, we searched for water-soluble food thickener powder that can be easily purchased around our lives and manufactured Gel pads. Among them, kappa-Carrageenan Gel Pad, iota-Carrageenan Gel Pad, and Agar-Agar Gel Pad satisfied the evaluation criteria without artifacts in image evaluation using the N-365 Multipurpose Phantom. Also, the price to purchase the food thickener powder was about 38 times cheaper than the existing commercialized Water gel pad. As a result, if you use the food thickener powder such as kappa-Carrageenan, iota-Carrageenan and Agar-Agar to make solidified elastic Gel pad without a cover instead of the commercially available expensive disposable Water gel pad, the convenience and usefulness of use are improved. It is judged that the manufactured Gel pads can contribute well to the role of efficient ultrasound propagation medium.

Recently, KTX (Korean Train Express) train stoppage accidents were mainly caused by malfunctioning equipment, aging and cracking of railway vehicles, crack breakages of brake disks, and breakages of brake disks. Breakage of brake disk can cause large-scale casualties such as high-speed collision and concern about derailment by hitting lower axle and wheel. Therefore, in this study, a brake disk with solid and ventilation type, which is the brake disk of a KTX train was modeled, and a dynamometer system was constructed to operate the disk. A Rayleigh wave was used to inspect the surface of the brake disk. An ultrasonic inspection module was developed for the brake disk by using a local immersion method due to the difficulty involved in ultrasonic inspection using an existing immersion method. In addition, the surface defects of the brake disk were evaluated using a dynamometer mock-up system and an ultrasonic inspection module of the brake disk.

영상수위계는 카메라에 의해서 수위표를 촬영하여 촬영된 영상을 처리하여 수위값으로 변환하여 자동적으로 수위를 측정하는 장비이다. 이 수위계는 기존 수위측정 장비인 부자식, 압력식, 기포식, 초음파식, 레이다식과는 달리 수위표를 촬영한 영상으로부터 수위를 직접 눈으로 확인할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이로 인해 영상자료로부터 측정된 수위를 검증할 수 있어 수위측정의 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 그리고 수위표 영상과 더불어 관측지점 주변의 전체 영상을 동시에 촬영하여 실시간으로 전송하기 때문에 홍수시 하천 상황에 대한 모니터링 목적으로 사용될 수 있다. 영상수위계 시스템은 크게 메인제어기, 전원부, 서버부 및 카메라부로 구성되어 있다. 현재 운영되고 있는 시스템은 전원장치 리셋시 전 시스템을 리셋해야하고, 상전 단전시 전 시스템이 off된다. 그리고 별도의 통신모듈을 사용하여 장비간 통신이 이루어지고 있다. 또한 카메라부에는 렌즈와 팬/틸트를 제어하기 위한 별도의 장비가 포함되어 있고, 백색 LED 조명이 사용되어 야간에 수위인식주기마다 조명이 on/off 되고 있다. 위와 같은 전원장치의 운영으로 시스템을 안정적으로 운영할 수 없다. 그리고 수위 오인식을 최소화하기 위해서는 연속적인 수위 인식이 필요하지만, 백색 LED조명과 1초에 2프레임을 캡쳐하는 비디오 캡쳐방식에 의해 시스템을 상시로 운영하는 것이 곤란하다. 현재 운영 중인 영상수위계를 안정적으로 운영할 수 있도록 장비별로 제어가 가능하도록 전원 제어장치를 개발하였고, 상전 단전시 최소 30분 정도 전원을 유지할 수 있도록 무정전전원장치(UPS)를 설치하였으며, 측정자료의 저장장치를 하드디스크 타입에서 Flash SSD 메모리 타입으로 교체하였다. 또한 영상수위계 시스템을 상시 운영할 수 있도록 백색 LED조명을 적외선 LED조명으로 교체하였고, 1초에 1회 수위를 인식하도록 수위인식주기와 1초에 25프레임 캡쳐할 수 있도록 비디오 캡쳐방식을 개선하였다. 위와 같은 시스템의 개선으로 시스템을 안정적으로 운영할 수 있게 되어 시스템 고장에 의해 발생하는 수위 결측을 감소시킬 수 있고, 시스템의 상시 운영으로 수 위 오인식을 최소화시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
