This paper presents a comprehensive study on reducing commutation torque ripples generated in brushless DC motor drives with only a single do-link current sensor provided. In such drives, commutation torque ripple suppression techniques that are practically effective in low speed as well as high speed regions are scarcely found. The commutation compensation technique proposed here is based on a strategy that the current slopes of the incoming and the outgoing phases during the commutation interval can be equalized by a proper duty-ratio control. Being directly linked with deadbeat current control scheme, the proposed control method accomplishes suppression of the spikes and dips superimposed on the current and torque responses during the commutation intervals of the inverter. Effectiveness of the proposed control method is verified through simulations and experiments.

무선 센서 네트워크의 수명 및 성능은 각 센서 노드들의 에너지 효율과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 본 논문에서는 센서 노드의 에너지 효율을 높이기 위해 센서 노드의 동작 상태를 정상, 절전, 및 비활성 모드로 나눈다. 정상 모드로 동작하는 센서 노드는 정상 주기로 센싱 및 데이터 전송을 하지만, 절전 모드에서는 그 주기를 늘임으로써 에너지 소비를 줄인다. 센싱 및 데이터 전송을 하지 않는 비활성 모드에서는 에너지 소비가 최소화된다. 또한, 제안 알고리즘은 센싱 데이터가 이전의 값과 동일할 경우 전송을 하지 않음으로써 불필요한 에너지 소비를 줄일 수 있다. 제안 알고리즘은 Tiny OS 기반의 ZigbeX 플랫폼에 구현되었으며, NS-2를 사용하여 그 성능을 분석하였다. 성능 분석결과 제안 알고리즘이 전체 센서 노드의 에너지 소비 및 그 표준편차를 효율적으로 줄임으로써 무선 센서 네트워크의 수명을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 구조물이 횡방향으로 음압을 받을 경우 이를 감지하기 위하여 Fabry-Perot형 광섬유 배열 센서를 제작하고 실험하였다. 이는 한 개의 광원으로 두 개의 센서가 병렬로 연결되고 센서의 출력신호를 보기 위한 별도의 신호처리기가 필요 없는 구조이다. 횡방향 음압을 임의의 음원 주파수인 100Hz, 200Hz 및 655Hz의 주파수를 무지향성 스피커에 인가하였으며 $60cm{\times}60cm{\times}60cm$의 격자 구조물에 부착된 두 개의 배열 센서가 잡은 신호를 분석하였다. 시간 영역에서 두 개의 센서 신호는 진폭에 약간의 차이는 있으나 음원 주파수를 잘 감지함을 확인 하였다. 센서가 실제로 양단이 지지된 구조의 배열 센서를 모델링하고 그 해를 실험결과와 비교하였다. 2kHz의 음원을 배열 센서에 인가하였더니 이론 해석과 비교적 잘 일치하는 측정 결과를 얻었다.

무선 센서 네트워크는 사람을 대신해 다양한 환경에서 감시와 정보수집 역할을 수행한다. 센서네트워크는 제한된 하드웨어 자원과 낮은 무선 네트워크 대역폭을 사용한다. 이러한 특성은 통신 중 높은 에러율을 발생시키며 데이터 신뢰도 향상을 위한 오류정정 기법의 필요성이 높다. 센서노드의 환경에 따른 CRC 에러와 패턴에 대한 연구는 오류정정 기법의 적절한 기법 선택을 위한 자료가 된다. 본 논문에서는 실내환경에서 시스템 구성시 데이터 전송률에 영향을 미치는 전송주기와 센서 노드간의 거리, 전송 패킷의 크기, RF의 크기에 대한 실험을 실시한다. 실험한 결과를 바탕으로 시스템 구성에서 고려해야 하는 요소를 알아본다.

Ad hoc cognitive radio wireless sensor networks allow secondary wireless sensor nodes to recognize spectrum opportunities and transmit data. Most existing protocols proposed for ad hoc cognitive radio wireless sensor networks require a dedicated common control channel. Allocating one channel just for control packet exchange is a waste of resources for channel-constrained networks. There are very few protocols that do not rely on a common control channel and that exchange channel-negotiation control packets during a pre-allocated time on the data channels. This, however, can require a substantial amount of time to access the channel when an incumbent is present on the channel, where the nodes are intended to negotiate for the data channel. This study examined channel access delay on cognitive radio wireless sensor networks that have no dedicated common control channel.

In this paper, we proposed indoor positioning system with improved accuracy. The proposed indoor location measurement system is based pedestrian location measurement method that use the embedded sensor of smartphone. So, we do not need wireless external resources, such as GPS or WiFi signals. The conventional methods measure indoor location by generating a movement route of pedestrian by step and direction recognition. In this paper, to correct the direction sensor error, we use the common feature of the normal indoor floor map that the indoor path is lattice-structured. And we quantize moving directions depending on the direction of indoor path. In addition, we propose moving direction measuring method using geomagnetic sensor and gyro sensor to improve the accuracy. Also, the proposed step detection method uses angle and accelerometer sensors. The proposed step detection method is not affected by the posture of the smartphone. Direction errors caused by direction sensor error is corrected due to proposed moving direction measuring method. The proposed location error correction method corrects location error caused by step detection error without the need for external wireless signal resources.

Gas sensor properties of $WO_3$ nanowire structures have been studied. The sensing layer was prepared by deposition of tungsten metal on porous single wall carbon nanotubes followed by thermal oxidation. The morphology and crystalline quality of $WO_3$ material was investigated by SEM, TEM, XRD and Raman analysis. A highly porous $WO_3$ nanowire structure with a mean diameter of 82 nm was obtained. Response to CO, $NH_3$ and $H_2$ gases diluted in air were investigated in the temperature range of $100{\sim}340^{\circ}C$ The sensor exhibited low response to CO gas and quite high response to $NH_3$ and $H_2$ gases. The highest sensitivity was observed at $250^{\circ}C$ for $NH_3$ and $300^{\circ}C$ for $H_2$. The effect of the diameters of $WO_3$ nanowires on the sensor performance was also studied. The $WO_3$ nanowires sensor with diameter of 40 nm showed quite high sensitivity, fast response and recovery times to $H_2$ diluted in dry air. The sensitivity as a function of detecting gas concentrations and gas sensing mechanism was discussed. The effect of dilution carrier gases, dry air and nitrogen, was examined.

In this study, body pressure was quantitatively detected using built-in optical sensors, inside an air cushion seat. The proposed system visualizes the effect of the body pressure distribution on the air cushion seat. The built-in sensor is based on the time-of-flight (ToF) optical method, instead of the conventional electrical sensor. A ToF optical sensors is attached to the bottom surface of the air-filled cells in the air cushion. Therefore, ToF sensors are durable, as they do not come in physical contact with the body even after repeated use. A ToF sensor indirectly expresses the body pressure by measuring the change in the height of the air-filled cell, after being subjected to the weight of the body. An array of such sensors can measure the body pressure distribution when the user sits on the air cushion seat. We implemented a prototype of the air cushion seat equipped with 7 ToF optical sensors and investigated its characteristics. In this experiment, the ToF optical pressure sensor successfully identified the pressure distribution corresponding to a sitting position. The data were accessed through a mobile device.

In this paper, optimum design of distributed detection is considered for a parallel sensor network system consisting of a fusion center and two passive sonar nodes. AND rule and OR rule are employed as the fusion rules of the sensor network. For the fusion rules, it is shown that a threshold rule of each sensor node has uniformly most powerful properties. Optimum threshold for each sensor is investigated that maximizes the probability of detection under the constraint of a specified probability of false alarm. It is also investigated through numerical experiments how signal strength, false alarm probability, and the distance between two sensor nodes affect the system detection performances.

Debugging in distributed environments, such as wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which consist of sensor nodes with limited resources, is an iterative and occasionally laborious process for programmers. In sensor networks, it is not easy to find unintended bugs that arise during development and deployment, and that are due to a lack of visibility into the nodes and a dearth of effective debugging tools. Most sensor network debugging tools are not provided with effective facilities such as real-time tracing, remote debugging, or a GUI environment. In this paper, we present a hybrid debugging framework (HDF) that works on WSNs. This framework supports query-based monitoring and real-time tracing on sensor nodes. The monitoring supports commands to manage/control the deployed nodes, and provides new debug commands. To do so, we devised a debugging device called a Docking Debug-Box (D2-Box), and two program agents. In addition, we provide a scalable node monitor to enable all deployed nodes for viewing. To transmit and collect their data or information reliably, all nodes are connected using a scalable node monitor applied through the Internet. Therefore, the suggested framework in theory does not increase the network traffic for debugging on WSNs, and the traffic complexity is nearly O(1).
