In this paper, in order to predict and prevent electrical fires that occur in the power system, we measured the informations of electric power, and then proposed a system to predict the electrical fire using these informations. To this end, we analyzed the correlations for over-current, overload and overheating. These states are caused by the grounding current and the leakage current, and are the main causes of an electrical fire. Use these correlations to derive the derivative of the fuzzy rules for membership function. The designed algorithm was simulated by utilizing the informations of the actual power of the switchgear-panel.

This study proposes FREES(Fuzzy Risk Evaluation Expert System) for analyzing and evaluating risks occurring during the construction process. The feasibility of this system model was tested by virtual scenario. For the development of the model, at first, risk breakdown structure was established based on risks identified in the existing researches, that is quantitative and qualitative. FREES can reflect human cognition process in the risk analysis and evaluation by adopting artificial intelligence fuzzy theory, differentiating the existing quantitative analysis model. The FREES can be applied to all the project phases from planning to operation & maintenance stage.

This paper presents an approach to classify normal and Ventricular Tachycardia/Ventricular Fibrillation(VT/VF) from the Creighton University Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia DataBase(CUDB) using the neural network with weighted fuzzy membership functions(NEWFM). In the first step, wavelet transform is used for producing input values which are used in the next step. In the second step, two numbers of input features are extracted by phase space reconstruction method and peak extraction method using coefficients produced by wavelet transform in the previous step. NEWFM classifies normal and VT/VF beats using two numbers of input features, and then the accuracy rate is 90.13%.

This paper presents the multi-objective optimal design of thermopile sensor having beam or membrane structure. The thermopile sensor is composed of $Si_{3}N_{4}/SiO_{2}$ dielectric membrane, Al-polysilicon thermocouples and $RuO_{2}$ thin film for black body. The sensing method is based on the Seebeck effect which is originated from the temperature difference of the two positions, black body and silicon rim. The objective functions of the presented design are sensitivity, detectivity and thermal time constant. The modelling of the sensor is proposed including the package. The multi-objective optimization technique is applied to the design of the sensor not only inspecting the modelling equation but also simulating mathematical programming method. Especially, fuzzy optimization technique is adapted to get the optimal solution which enables the designer to reach the more practical solution. The design constraint of the voltage output originated from the change of the environmental temperature is included for practical use.

In collision avoidance problem of a ship, collision risk model is usually set up using the interview results fron experts who sit on a simulator by varying parameters, in which DCPA and TCPA are commonly used. This method, however, has the weakness in that not only it is expensive but also it shows different results depending on the inerviewees and other navigational parameters. In this study, a fuzzy inference system is designed based on own ship's maneuverability verified fron simulation instead of interviewing navigators. The time and distance corresponding to the collision risk value on which avoidance maneuver should be started are set to the minimum marginal time at which own ship starts maneuvering and the minimum marginal distance suggested by marine traffic rules respectively. This system can be recorfigured as a nonlinearity-strengthened one by increasing the number of fuzzy membership functions.

Ultrasound images for the abdominal muscles are complicated enough to have difficulty in interpreting their results. For better interpretation, magnifying the original image is necessary but its magnified image could be deteriorated and suffer from information loss. Thus, in this paper, we propose a magnifying method that reduces the gap between the original image and the magnified one in quality using a fuzzy method with weights for its brightness and interpolation. The proposed method extracts information of pixels in magnified image that have most similar characteristics of the original one by applying fuzzy membership function. In the process, the difference in the brightness between pixels of the magnified image and the original one using bilinear interpolation method and the weight value using the interpolation from multiplied values of four pixels are supplied to the fuzzy membership function. In this experiment, the proposed method reduces the cloudy phenomenon appears commonly compared to the bilinear interpolation method among those qualitative issues of image interpretation.

In general, there are many sensors for fuel injection control such as an air flow sensor, an air intake temperature sensor, a cooling water temperature sensor, a throttle position sensor, and a motor position sensor. In this paper, we proposed a method for controlling the amount of fuel consumption in cars using fuzzy control technique by temperature change of an air intake temperature sensor and air-fuel ratio, the ratio of air and fuel mixture. In the proposed method, the amount of fuel injection is controlled by fuzzy membership functions and fuzzy inference rules established for air-fuel ratio, air intake temperature, and final fuel compensation, after computing air-fuel values using each amount of air intake and each amount of fuel injection. We verified that the proposed method is more efficient than conventional methods in fuel injection control from the results of the simulation program.

A fuzzy logic based data integration was applied for geothermal potential mapping in Jeju Island. Several data sets, such as geological map, the density of drainage system, the distribution density of cinder cones, density of lineaments, aerial survey map for total magnetic intensity and total gamma ray, were collected as thematic map for the integration. Fuzzy membership function for all thematic maps were compared to the locations of the spa, which were used as ground-truth control points. The older geology, the lower density of drainage, cinder cones and lineaments, and the lower intensity of magnetic and gamma ray were showed the higher fuzzy membership function values, respectively. After integrating all thematic maps, the results of gamma operator with the gamma value of 0.75 was the highest success rate, and new geothermal potential zone is prospected in western north part of Jeju Island.

인간과 컴퓨터간의 상호교류 하는데 있어서 감정 인식은 필수라 하겠다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 음성 신호 및 얼굴 영상을 BL(Bayesian Learning)과 PCA(Principal Component Analysis)에 적용하여 5가지 감정 (Normal, Happy, Sad, Anger, Surprise) 으로 패턴 분류하였다. 그리고 각각 신호의 단점을 보완하고 인식률을 높이기 위해 결정 융합 방법과 특징 융합 방법을 이용하여 감정융합을 실행하였다. 결정 융합 방법은 각각 인식 시스템을 통해 얻어진 인식 결과 값을 퍼지 소속 함수에 적용하여 감정 융합하였으며, 특정 융합 방법은 SFS(Sequential Forward Selection)특정 선택 방법을 통해 우수한 특정들을 선택한 후 MLP(Multi Layer Perceptron) 기반 신경망(Neural Networks)에 적용하여 감정 융합을 실행하였다.

This paper presents observer-based controller design for interval type-2 fuzzy system with staircase membership approximation. In type-2 fuzzy case, membership function is itself fuzzy set itself. Thus, type-2 fuzzy system can deal with parametric uncertainties of nonlinear system by capturing the uncertainties in membership function. Likewise, stabilization condition of type-2 fuzzy system is derived from quadratic Lyapunov function, and it goes to linear matrix inequality. Furthermore, in this paper, to relax the conservativeness of stabilization condition, staircase membership function approximating method is applied. Observer-based control method is adopted to control system which has some unmeasurable states. To prove suitability of our proposed method, numerical example is presented.
