In this study, a method to enhance the dynamic range of seismic sensor is proposed. The low frequency noise included in the measurement of seismic sensor is modelled as an ARMA(Auto Regressive Moving Average) model and the order and parameters of the model are identified through system identification method. The identified noise model is augmented into Kalmman filter which estimate seismic signal from sensor measurement. The proposed method is applied to a newly developed seismic sensor which is MEMS based 3-axis accelerometer type. The experiment show that the proposed method can enhance the dynamic range compared to the simple low pass filtering.

In this study, data transmission ratio and power consumption issues of Zigbee based sensor module and personal digital assistant(PDA) were addressed to develop ECG telemetry device. PDA processes the data transmitted through serial port using non-blocking method. The transmission rate was dependent on the packet structure. It was 300 ECG samples/sec, when each packet was composed of 2 ECG data and 3-axial acceleration vector. Using two AAA batteries in series, operating time of the wireless sensor module was above 28 hours in average. Power consumption of PDA was dependent on screen ON/OFF condition and serial port usage. In this application, operating time of PDA was 5 hours in average. In conclusion, there was no problem in the power consumption of wireless sensor module and transmission rate, when the developed device was used as 24 hour Holter device. But, PDA has the problem of power consumption, which should be solved.

스마트 홈서비스가 이루어질 앞으로의 가정에서는 거주자의 편리를 추구하는 다수의 가전기기와 다양한 장치를 통해 여러 형태의 서비스가 제공된다. 그 환경의 중심에서 사용자는 무엇보다 손쉽고 편리하게 이들을 시용할 수 있어야 한다. 기존에는 사용자가 쉽게 휴대할 수 있는 소형 컴퓨터, PDA, 휴대폰을 이용해 스마트 홈서비스를 제어하는 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 이들을 사용하는 것은 복잡하면서 전문적인 지식이 필요할 수 있으며 항상 결에 두어야 한다는 불편함이 있을 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 관성센서를 이용한 동작인식 시스템을 개발하였다. 이 시스템은 자이로 센서와 가속도 센서를 사용하며 3축의 자이로(각속도) 및 가속도를 측정할 수 있는 센서 모듈과 측정된 데이터를 이용해서 동작 패턴을 분류해 주는 알고리즘으로 구성된다. 차후에 홈 네트워크 시스템과의 결합을 통해 미리 지정된 간단한 손동작만으로 여러 가전기기를 제어할 수 있을 것이며 특히 노약자나 장애인들이 기존의 리모트 컨트롤 등의 복잡한 제어 장치를 대신해서 간편하고 손쉽게 사용할 수 있을 것이다.

The precision aerial application of agricultural unmanned helicopters has become a new paradigm for small farms with orchards, paddy, and upland fields. The needs of agricultural applications require easy and affordable control systems. Recent developments of MEMS technology based on inertial sensors and high speed DSP have enabled the fabrication of low-cost attitude system. Therefore, this study evaluates inertial MEMS sensors for estimating the attitude of an agricultural unmanned helicopter. The accuracies and errors of gyro and acceleration sensors were verified using a pendulum system. The true motion values were calculated using a theoretical estimation and absolute encoder measurement of the pendulum, and then the sensor output was compared with reference values. When comparing the sensor measurements and true values, the errors were determined to be 4.32~5.72%, 3.53~6.74%, and 3.91~4.16% for the gyro rate and x-, z- accelerations, respectively. Thus, the measurement results confirmed that the inertial sensors are effective for establishing an attitude and heading reference system (AHRES). The sensors would be constructed in gimbals for the estimating and proving attitude measurements in the following paper.

In this paper, a method of shape prediction of an endoscope handling robot that can imitate a surgeon's behavior using a sensor network is suggested. Unit sensors, which are composed of a 3-axis magnetometer and 3-axis accelerometer pair comprise the network through CAN bus communication. Each unit of the sensor is used to detect the angle of the points in the longitudinal direction of the robot, which is made from a flexible tube. The signals received from the sensor network were filtered using a low pass Butterworth filter. Here, a Butterworth filter was designed for noise removal. Finally, the Euler angles were extracted from the signals, in which the noise was filtered by the low path Butterworth filter. Using this Euler angle, the position of each sensor on the sensor network is estimated. The robot body was assumed to consist of links and joints. The position of each sensor can be assumed to be attached to the center of each link. The position of each link was determined using the Euler angle and kinematics equation. The interpolation was carried out between the positions of the sensors to be able to connect each point smoothly and obtain the final posture of the endoscope in operation. The experimental results showed that the shape of the colonoscope can be visualized using the Euler angles evaluated from the sensor network suggested and the shape of serial link estimated from the kinematics chain model.

Hand-signal is an effective communication means in the situation where voice cannot be used for expression especially for soldiers. Vision-based approaches using cameras as input devices are widely suggested in the literature. However, these approaches are not suitable for soldiers that have unseen visions in many cases. in addition, existing special-glove approaches utilize the information of fingers only. Thus, they are still lack for soldiers' hand-signal recognition that involves not only finger motions, but also additional information such as the rotation of a hand. In this paper, we have designed and implemented a new recognition system for six military hand-signal motions, i. e., 'ready', 'move', quick move', 'crawl', 'stop', and 'lying-down'. For this purpose, we have proposed a finger-recognition method and motion-recognition methods. The finger-recognition method discriminate how much each finger is bended, i. e., 'completely flattened', 'slightly flattened', 'slightly bended', and 'completely bended'. The motion-recognition algorithms are based on the characterization of each hand-signal motion in terms of the three axes. Through repetitive experiments, our system have shown 91.2% of correct recognition.

This research was conducted to analyze the behavior of the post-tensioned concrete pavement (PTCP) system in which weigh-in-motion (WIM) sensors were installed. One lane of PTCP was constructed after removing the existing asphalt pavement. The frictional resistance between the slab and the underlying layer should be small enough for the PTCP slab to properly have prestresses by tensioning. By performing an experimental construction of PTCP, the friction effects and the longitudinal displacements of PTCP under environmental loads were investigated. Based on the knowledge obtained from the experiments, the actual PTCP sections including WIM sensors were constructed and the curling behavior of the system was investigated. As a result, the behavior of the PTCP system was not affected by the existence of WIM sensors, and the appropriate PTCP system when installing WIM sensors in it could be developed.

강유전체 박막과 마이크로 가공기술을 이용하여 초전형 적외선 센서를 제작하였다. 초전형 적외선 센서는 $Pb_{1-x}La_xTi_{1-x/4}O_3$ (x=0.05) (PLT) 강유전체 박막 커패시터를 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방식으로 백금 전극이 증착된 MgO 기판상에 결정 성장시킨 구조를 갖고 있다. 스퍼터링된 PLT 바닥은 높은 c-축 결정 구조를 가지므로 센서로 사용하기 위한 poling 처리 과정이 필요하다. 이는 적외선 이미지 센서를 구현함에 있어서 수율 향상에 필수적인 요소이다. 마이크로 가공 기술을 사용하여 센서의 열용량을 극소화 함으로서 센서의 효율을 최대화하였다. 제작된 센서의 상부에 폴리이미드를 코팅하고 MgO 기판을 선택적으로 식각하여 코팅된 폴리이미드가 강유전체 박막 커패시터를 지지하고 있는 구조를 구현하였다. 이렇게 제작된 센서의 감도는 상온에서 $8.5{\times}10^8cm{\cdot}{\sqrt}{Hz/W}$로 측정되었으며 이는 마이크로 가공 기술을 사공하지 않은 경우보다 약 100 때의 감도 향상을 가져왔다.
