This paper presents a structural health monitoring method using piezoelectric paint sensor designed for an impact sensor. The piezoelectric paint sensor can be flexibly deposited onto most structural surfaces in a thin form of the paint, and measure impact signals without any external device such as a power amplifier. In this study, a composite plate having four zones coated with piezoelectric paint was used for impact monitoring test. The sensitivity of the piezoelectric paint sensor was obtained by measuring the output voltages against the impact force. In addition to the sensitivity measurement, the impact position has been also estimated by comparing the output signals of the paint sensors when the impact occurs on the specimen.

In this paper, two types of micro-optic submersion detection systems are proposed and demonstrated. The structures are based on the transmission and reflection of incident light, respectively. Two collimators are separated by 10 mm and installed face to face in straight line. The incident light transmits from one side of collimator to the other through the air, but the optical loss is below 1 dB. On the other hand, when the sensors are submersed into water, most of optical power scattered into water. The systems monitor the dramatical power change to alarm the submersion. Reflection type of sensor system has a Bragg grating at the end of the sensor for back-reflection of sensing signal. This is for simple configuration of systems. The performance of two sensor systems are described in detail.

In this paper, we propose a system for monitoring and controlling the level of the rainwater tank by installing an underground storage tank as one of ways to increase the utilization rate to solve the water shortage and imbalance. For this purpose, a microprocessor of ATMEL's Atmega 128 is used for the control module, and the sensor capable of measuring the water level uses a float type level sensor which is a kind of tactile sensor. In particular, the level sensor outputs the output in a industry standard dimension, so that the compatibility is improved so as to replace the existing sensor.

수질관리에 있어서 무엇보다도 중요한 것이 신뢰성 있는 수질자료를 확보하는 것이다. 우리나라는 원수수질관리를 위해 1970년대 후반부터 수질측정망 단위의 정기적 수질측정이 이루어지기 시작하여 2008년에는 1,476개 지점으로 운영되고 있다. 수질모니터링은 조사지점, 수질항목, 측정 주기 등이 매우 중요한 요인이 되며, 이중에서 특히 조사지점은 가장 중요한 사항으로 판단된다. 그러나 지금까지 저수지에서 수질조사를 위한 관측지점은 대부분 정성적 판단에 따라 정해져 왔기 때문에 수질대표성에 문제가 되기도 하였다. 본 논문에서는 이와같은 수질측정망 구축시 문제점을 개선하기 위해 과학적인 통계기법을 적용한 수질측정망 구축방안을 제시하였다. 구축된 수질 측정망 구축시스템은 통계적 분석기법을 기반으로 만들었으며, 이용자의 사용 편의성을 고려하여 간단한 입력으로 측정망을 구축할 수 있는 체계로 구성하였다. 시스템에서는 시계열분석과 유사성 계산을 실시하여 덴드로그램으로 결과를 제시하며, 이용자가 최종 산점도 출력시스템에 원하는 군집의 개수를 입력하면 수질 특성 파악이 가능한 주성분 산점도가 출력되도록 하였고, 군집 내 관측지점의 중심점을 대표지점으로 선정하도록 되어있다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 운영되고 있는 저수지 수질측정지점을 대상으로 분석을 실시하였다. 그러나 기존 측정지점의 개수가 적어 통계분석 결과 적용에 한계가 있어 수질모델링을 통한 수질자료 증폭을 실시하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 다수의 측정지점을 대상으로 수질측정망 평가를 실시하였다. 본 논문에서는 용담댐, 밀양댐, 충주댐, 안동댐 및 남강댐을 대상으로 평가를 실시하였으며, 약간의 지점변동이 필요한 것으로 평가되었다.

태양광발전시스템에서 PV모듈이나 어레이의 성능특성 및 성능추정이 요구되고 있다. 태양광 발전 모듈은 장기간 사용 시 환경 요인 등으로 효율이 나빠지며 어레이의 특정 모듈 효율저하는 전체 발전 전력의 감소를 초래하므로 실시간 감시가 필요하다. 이 논문은 태양광 발전 모듈의 발전 전력을 실시간으로 측정하기 위한 것이다. 모듈의 출력을 실시간으로 측정하기 위해 전압, 전류 측정 회로를 제작하고 온도, 일조량 측정 장치를 제작하여 RS485 통신으로 연결하였다. Visual Studio - Basic .Net(2005)과 NI사의 Measurement Studio를 이용하여 실시간 모니터링 프로그램을 제작하였고, 모듈들 사이의 상대적인 발전 출력을 비교하여 효율 저하가 의심되는 모듈을 실시간으로 탐색하였다. 20개 모듈의 직병렬로 구성된 1kW 태양광 발전체에 적용하여 시험한 결과 2개의 모듈에서 성능 저하가 의심되는 결과가 확인되었다.

In this paper, we study on design of vehicle control system which is based on ${\mu}C/OS-II$, We component a electric motor drive system for simulator because the most of vehicle part use electric motor for actuator. We use the XC2287 microcontroller which is often used vehicle body controller because XC2287 guarantee high confidence and durability in vehicle industry. The electric motor control system derive PWM from general I/O port in XC2287 microcontroller. The signal is supplied at electric motor after amplifying that using driver circuit. The user control duty of PWM signal through controlling potentiometer which is connected to XC2287. through that, the user control speed of electric motor. we synchronize both input process via controlling potentiometer and PWM output process using semaphore. we verify porting of ${\mu}C/OS-II$ via experimentation.

The research of amplifier have been actively conducted to replace the Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier (TWTA) in the mmWave. For Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPA), which combine semiconductor-type devices to obtain high output, Low-loss, high-efficiency combination techniques are required to meet the required output as the output of a single relatively low device is relatively low. In this paper, we design and produce an 8-way waveguide combiner and a reflective loss of more than 20dB and a binding efficiency of 85% or more were identified. Field analysis calculates the critical power inside the combiner. It secured stable Power Ratings and built-in coupler for power monitoring to achieve miniaturization and light weight.

There is getting worse to various liver diseases due to change in eating habits, stress, alcohol etc in modern society. Therefore, we proposed methodology to diagnose early for liver disease to study the influence on voice in liver diseases. To this end, we carried out experiment to apply parameter of voice analysis to collect each voice inpatients and patients by treatment of liver diseases patients. Particularly, we carried out experiment to apply element value of pronunciation and the third formant frequency bandwidths about velar sounds associated liver in oriental medicine, then to produce objective index resonance cavity and influence vocalization in liver diseases. In addition, we carried out to study about design of system to monitoring a liver function in u-Health environment based on result by experiment.

It is necessary that radiation dose would be detect exactly generated from facility related to nuclear, space, radiotherapy center, etc. This paper is to use of the radiation-induced threshold voltage change as an accumulated radiation dose monitoring sensor. Commercial P Channel Power MOSFET(metal oxide field effect transistor) were tested in a Co-60 gamma irradiation facility to see their capabilities as a radiation dosimeter. We found that the transistors showed good linearity in their threshold voltage shift characteristics with radiation dose. The results demonstrate the potential use of commercial P Channel Power MOSFET as inexpensive radiation sensors.
