  • A novel permeation apparatus was developed which could make the on-line measurements of both flux transient and permeate composition in gas permeation. The measurement by using the per¬meation apparatus was based on the continuous-flow technique. The transient measurement allowed the simultaneous determinations of permeation characteristics, such as, permeability, diffusion and solubility coefficients, and activation energies only with one experiment. The apparatus performance was illustrated by conducting the permeation of pure gases through two glassy polyimides and a rubbery poly (dimethyl¬siloxane) membranes, respectively. A comparison of the permeation characteristics determined from the flux transients was made with the literature values for verifying the confidence and accuracy of the measurement. Also, the analysis of the permeation transients obtained was carried out for the close investigation of the permeation behaviors of gases through membrane.

  • In this paper, we describe the method of non-invasive blood pressure measurement using pulse wave transit time(PWTT). PWTT is a new parameter involved with a vascular that can indicate the change of BP. PWTT is measured by continuous monitoring of ECG and pulse wave. No additional sensors or modules are required. In many cases, the change of PWTT correlates with the change of BP. We measure pulse wave using the photo plethysmograph(PPG) sensor in an earlobe and we measure ECG using the ECG monitoring device our made in the chest. The measurement device for detecting pulse wave consists of infrared LED for transmitted light illumination, pin photodiode as light detector, amplifier and filter. We composed 0.5Hz high pass, 60Hz notch and 10Hz low pass filter. ECG measurement device consists of multiplexer, amplifier, filter, micro-controller and RF module. After amplification and filtering, ECG signal and pulse wave is fed through micro-controller. We performed the initial work towards the development of ambulatory BP monitoring system using PWTT. An earlobe is suitable place to measure PPG signal without the restraint in daily work. From the results, we can know that the dependence of PWTT on BP is almost linear and it is possible to monitoring an individual BP continuously after the individual calibration.

  • Asthma is one of the important respiratory diseases requiring home self care usually performed by commercialized peak expiratory flow meter (PEFM). However, this simple device can measure only single parameter, PEF, due to its purely mechanical principle, significantly limiting desease management quality. The present study introduced a new expiratory flow measurement technique by miniatured air expansion chamber easily installed within PEFM. Continuous pressure signal obtained from the chamber demonstrated an accurate quadratic relationship with flow. The volume measurement error was $<{\pm}1%$ well within the American Thoracic Society (ATS) criteria of 3%. Important spirometric parameters of FVC, PEF, and FEF25-75% were all accurately estimated with correlation coefficients > 0.95. The present technique obtains continuous expiratory air flow signal, making possible and convenient to perform spirometric test at home. Electronic interface capability would be also useful for remote asthma management.

  • KIGAM has installed a FLARE+ continuous geomagnetic observation system in 1998 in Daejeon of which the IAGA identification code is DZN. The coordinates of the absolute measurement plinth precisely determined by the PDGPS(Post-Processing Differential Global Positioning System) is (127-21-37.19E, 36-22-43.96N, 45.93 m) in WGS84 for the horizontal and from the geoid surface for the vertical. Periodically we have conducted the absolute geomagnetic measurement on the plinth above. We have processed the continuous time-variation 3-axis geomagnetic data measured on arbitrary sensors' coordinates in the observatory and absolute geomagnetic data together to get as the results the time-variation H(orizontal), D(eclination), Z(vertical down), F(scalar calculated from 3 components) and P(Proton Precession Magnetometer Data). We have compared our own data with those calculated from the 10th generation IGRF(International Geomagnetic Reference Field). All the measured data in the DZN Observatory can be acquired through the website http://geomag.kigam.re.kr.

  • This paper presents design of a FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) level meter as well as simulation result of the designed system. The system is designed to measure maximum range of 20m since FMCW radar can be used for measuring short range distance. The distance is measured by analyzing the beat signal which is generated as result of mixing transmitting signal with the reflected received signal. The Fast Fourier Transform is applied to analyze the beat signal for calculating the displacement and Zoom FFT technique is used to minimize measurement error as well as increase the resolution of the measurement. The resolution of the measurement of the designed system in this paper is 2.2mm and bandwidth of 1.024GHz is used for simulation. Thus the simulation results are analyzed and compared in various conditions in order to get a comprehensive idea of frequency resolution and displacement resolution.

  • As the elderly population increases, the number of patients with various joint diseases, including degenerative arthritis, is steadily increasing. CPM medical devices are needed to effectively treat degenerative arthritis that is common in the elderly population. Domestic CPM medical devices have limited functions and are highly dependent on imports for expensive imported medical devices. To solve this problem, we designed a ROM measurement function using a current sensor that is not present in existing composite joint CPM medical devices. The algorithm was designed using the fact that the force caused by joint stiffness greatly increases the current flowing through the DC motor. In addition, the need for digital healthcare in the medical field is gradually expanding as the proportion of chronically ill patients increases due to the spread of the non-face-to-face economy due to COVID-19 and the aging population. Therefore, this paper aims to improve the performance of CPM medical devices by allowing real-time confirmation of rehabilitation exercise information and operation range measurement results in accordance with digital healthcare trends through a Bluetooth application developed as an Android studio.

  • This paper gives a simulation study of a new fuzzy logic control(FLC) approach for the mold level control in continuous casting processes. The proposed FLC is PID type hybridizing the conventional fuzzy PI control and Fuzzy PD control with a simplified design scheme. It is shown that, compared with the conventional control, this new control strategy can achieve superior performance for steady-state response and is more robust against process parameter variations and disturbances.

  • This paper presents a decentralized model reference adaptive control scheme for an interconnected continuous linear system composed of a number of single-input single-output subsystems in which outgoing interactions pass through the measurement channel and are subject to bounded external disturbance. The scheme can treat the unknown strength of interactions as well as the uncertainty of subsystems.
