  • A mass balance of process was calculated by using the analysis of basic unit and environmental assessment of all the processes of Busan fashion color industry cooperative that operates a combined heat and power plant and a bio treatment plant. The mass balance for the combined heat and power plant was done, based on boiler and water treatment processes while each unit reactor was used for the bio treatment plant. From the results above, a resource recycle network, a treatment flowchart for food waste water/wastewater treatment and a carbon reduction program were established.

  • The objective of this research was to study the effect of contact force of ultrasonic probe on the ultrasonic attenuation measurement of radish. The relationship between ultrasonic attenuation (y) and contact force (x) for radish can be expressed as equation y=a+bLn(x), where a=8.7194+2.l68x(porosity) and b =-9.9188+0.0075 ${\times}$ (volume). The relationship between ultrasonic power spectrum (y) and contact force (x) for radish is also represented by equation y=a+bLn(x), where a= 60.l965-1.47l4${\times}$(porosity). The coefficient b has no significant relation with radish properties.

  • In this paper, we propose a simple and relative electrode contact monitoring method. By exploiting the power line interference, which is regarded as one of the worst noise sources for bio-potential measurement, the relative difference in electrode impedance can be measured without a current or voltage source. Substantial benefits, including no extra circuit components, no degradation of the body potential driving circuit, and no electrical safety problem, can be achieved using this method. Furthermore, this method can be applied to multi-channel isolated bio-potential measurement systems and home health care devices under a steady measuring environment.

  • 광 바이오 센서 시스템에서 Trans-Impedance amplifier (TIA)는 광검출기로부터 입력단으로 들어오는 미세한 전기 신호를 원하는 신호레벨까지 증폭하는 역할을 한다. TIA는 광 바이오 센서 시스템의 감도 (sensitivity)를 결정하는 매우 중요한 회로로 저잡음, 저전력, 낮은 입력 임피던스 등의 특성이 요구되어진다. 본 논문에서는 광 바이오 센서 시스템에서 요구되어 지는 저전력, 저잡음 성능을 구현하기 위하여 regulated cascode (RGC) TIA를 설계하였다. 본 연구에서는 기존 common gate (CG) 기법의 TIA에서 전류원 역할을 하는 current source를 저항으로 대체하고, local feedback stage를 이용하는 RGC TIA를 저잡음, 저전력 특성 및 회로 면적 감소의 장점을 갖도록 설계하였다.

  • In order to measure bio-signals, it is desirable to build a fully implantable system which connects directly to neural pathways or body tissue. A design scheme for fully implementable measurement system is proposed in this paper. Consisting of an implanted module and an external system, the proposed scheme delivers power and data between the two modules. The external module sends power via inductive link using a simple H-bridge type oscillator. Also, the implanted module sends measured data to the external system utilizing R/F communication technique at a frequency of ISM band. A stable communication and operation is achieved as the two types of channels are separated. Implemented in a compact size enough to be implanted in human body, the system exhibits good performance in experimental studies.

  • 대부분의 전력전자 시스템과 마찬가지로 3상 UPS 시스템 역시 전력전자 알고리즘 개발자가 응용프로그램을 작성할 때 하드웨어를 조작하고 초기화하는 하위 수준 코드를 작성해 왔다. 이와 같은 응용 소프트웨어와 하드웨어의 밀접한 통합은 시스템 성능차원에서는 부족함이 없으나 이식성과 유지보수 측면에서 많은 문제점을 보여왔다. 또한, 다양화 된 고객요구에 의하여 시스템이 점점 더 복잡해짐에 따라서 기존 소프트웨어 구성은 한계를 이르렀다. 본 논문에서는 TI사의 실시간 운영체제인 DSP/BIOS를 이용하여 3상 UPS 시스템 하드웨어와 응용프로그램을 분리하는 추상화 작업을 통해서 이루어진 성과에 관하여 제시한다. 분업화되고 상호 연동하는 방식의 개발 패러다임의 변화는 전력전자 알고리즘 개발자가 더 많은 시간을 알고리즘 개발에 투입 할 수 있게 하였고 다른 분야 개발자가 병렬로 소프트웨어 개발을 진행함에 따라서 전체적으로 개발기간의 단축을 가져왔다.

  • In this study, a tail rotor system for an agricultural RF controlled helicopter was developed and tested. This study concluded the mechanical development of the 'Agro-heli' by completing the tail rotor system and its radio console. The RF control system was closely related with the tail system for the control of flying attitude. The thrust of the tail system balance off the reaction torque, created by the main rotor. Lifting tests with and without the tail system were compared for estimating the consumption of power. The tail system would use $4{\sim}5%$ of the total power which was in an acceptable range. Flying performance and attitude was visually inspected. It showed reliable and safe control during the distance flying trials and could be adapted for utilization in aerial applications. Aerial application using an RF controlled agricultural helicopter may make precise and timely spraying possible.

  • Recently reported asynchronous-optical-sampling terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy enables high-resolution spectroscopy due to a long time-delay window. However, a long-lasting tail signal following the main pulse is often measured in a time-domain waveform, resulting in spectral fluctuation above a background noise level on a high-resolution THz amplitude spectrum. Here, we adopt the wavelet power spectrum estimation technique (WPSET) to effectively remove the spectral fluctuation without sacrificing spectral features. Effectiveness of the WPSET is verified by investigating a transmission spectrum of water vapor.

  • It is necessary to develop small, implantable bio-telemetry systems which can measure and transmit patients' bio-signals from internal body to external receiver. When measuring bio-signals, like electrical bio-signals, acoustic bio-signal measurement has also a big clinical usefulness. But, sound signal has larger frequency bandwidth than any other bio-signals. When considering these issues, a wireless telemetry system which has rapid data transmission rate proportional to wide frequency bandwidth is necessary to be developed. The bluetooth module is used to overcome the data rate limitation caused by the large frequency bandwidth. In this paper, a novel multimedia bluetooth biotelemetry system was developed which consists of transmitter module located in the body and receiver device located outside of the body. The transmitter consists of microphone, bluetooth, and wireless charging device. And the receiver consists of bluetooth and codec system. The sound inside the skin is captured by microphone and sent to receiver by bluetooth while charging. The wireless charging system constantly supplies the electric power to the system. To verify the performance of the developed system, an in vitro experiment has been performed. The results show that the proposed biotelemetry system has ability to acquire the sound signals under the skin.
