병원과 같은 의료센터에서 이동하는 환자들의 상태를 효과적이며 실시간으로 감지하기 위해서는 다양한 무선통신망 프로토콜과 네트워크 상황을 고려해야 한다. 802.11a, 802.11g, direct sequence와 같은 무선통신 프로토콜들은 각각의 장단점이 있으며 모바일 노드의 개수나 전파도달 거리등 다양한 요소들이 망의 성능에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 특히, 환자들의 상태를 뇌파전송(EEG)을 통해 감지하기 때문에 이러한 데이터 특성도 고려하여 네트워크 토폴로지를 구성하였다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 환자의 EEG 데이터를 효율적으로 전송할 수 있는 무선통신망을 설계하고 이를 Opnet 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 시뮬레이션한 뒤 그 결과를 이용하여 성능을 분석하였다. EEG를 전송하는 무선네트워크 환경에서는 전반적으로 802.11g의 성능이 우수한 것으로 나타났으며 토폴로지의 구성요소에 따라 결과의 특성에 다소 차이가 있었다.

We made a study on real-time determination method for relative position using the laser-measured distance data between satellites. We numerically performed the determination of relative position in accordance with extended Kalman filter algorithm using the vectors obtained through nonlinear equation of relative motion, laser simulator for distance measurement, and attitude determination of chief satellite. Because the spherical parameters of relative distance and direction are used, there occur some changes in precision depending on changes in relative distance when determining the relative position. As a result of simulation, it was possible to determine the relative position with several millimeter-level errors at a distance of 10 km, and sub-millimeter level errors at a distance of 1 km. In addition, we performed the determination of relative position assuming the case that global positioning system data was not received for long hours to see the impact of determination of chief satellite orbit on the determination of relative position. The determination of precise relative position at a long distance carried out in this study can be used for scientific mission using the satellite formation flying.

In the DVB-T2 system with a multiple-input single-output (MISO) transmission mode, Alamouti coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals are transmitted simultaneously from two spatially separated transmitters in a single frequency network (SFN). In such systems, each transmit-receive link may have a distinct carrier frequency offset (CFO) due to the Doppler shift and/or frequency mismatch between the local oscillators. Thus, the received signal experiences dual CFOs. This not only causes dual phase errors in desired data but also introduces inter-carrier interference (ICI), which cannot be removed completely by simply performing a CFO compensation. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes an iterative detection with dual phase errors compensation technique. In addition, we propose a successive-iterative ICI cancellation technique. This technique successively eliminates ICI in the initial iteration by exploiting pre-detected data pairs. Then, in subsequent iterations, it performs a fine interference cancellation using a priori information, iteratively fed back from the channel decoder. In contrast to previous works, the proposed techniques do not require estimates of dual CFOs. Their performances are evaluated via a full DVB-T2 simulator. Simulation results show that the DVB-T2 receiver equipped with the proposed dual phase errors compensation and the successive-iterative ICI cancellation techniques achieves almost the same performance as ideal dual CFOs-free systems, even for large dual CFOs.

대기오염물질과 온실가스가 주는 폐해는 점차 심각한 수준으로 발전하고 있는 상황에서 자동차에 의한 배출가스가 대표적인 배출원의 하나로 손꼽히고 있다. 교통부문에 있어서는 교통운영전략 등에 의해 배출가스량을 억제 및 관리할 수 있는 방법론에 대한 연구가 필요한 상황이나 아직까지 차량의 운행행태 즉 가속, 감속, 정지 시 등에 따른 배출량을 산정할 수 있는 모형에 대한 연구는 미미한 수준이다. 본 연구에서는 신호교차로와 같은 도로를 주행하는 차량이 가속, 감속 정지 하면서 배출하는 배출가스량을 산정할 수 있는 모형을 구축하였으며 이를 위하여 차량 실험을 기반으로 배출량표를 작성하고 차량의 움직임을 운동학적 접근법으로 분석하여 모형을 구축하였다. 최종적으로는 미시적 시뮬레이터와 배출표를 이용하여 가장 현실적인 배출량 산정체계를 구축하여 모형을 검증, 평가하였다. 평가 결과 기존의 평균주행속도를 이용한 배출모형 보다 상대적으로 정확한 배출량을 산정하는 것으로 분석되었다.

The wave-cutoff tool is a new diagnostic method to measure electron density and electron temperature. Most of the plasma diagnostic tools have the disadvantage that their application to processing plasma where toxic and reactive gases are used gives rise to many problems such as contamination, perturbation, precision of measurement, and so on. We can minimize these problems by using the wave-cutoff method. Here, we will present the results obtained through the development of the wave-cutoff diagnostic method. The frequency spectrum characteristics of the wave-cutoff probe will be obtained experimentally and analyzed through the microwave field simulation by using the CST-MW studio simulator. The plasma parameters are measured with the wave-cutoff method in various discharge conditions and its results will be compared with the results of Langmuir probe. Another disadvantage is that other diagnostic methods spend a long time (~ a few seconds) to measure plasma parameters. In this presentation, a fast measurement method will be also introduced. The wave-cutoff probe system consists of two antennas and a network analyzer. The network analyzer provides the transmission spectrum and the reflection spectrum by frequency sweeping. The plasma parameters such as electron density and electron temperature are obtained through these spectra. The frequency sweeping time, the time resolution of the wave-cutoff method, is about 1 second. A short pulse with a broad band spectrum of a few GHz is used with an oscilloscope to acquire the spectra data in a short time. The data acquisition time can be reduced with this method. Here, the plasma parameter measurement methods, Langmuir probe, pulsed wave-cutoff method and frequency sweeping wave-cutoff method, are compared. The measurement results are well matched. The real time resolution is less than 1 ?sec. The pulsed wave-cutoff technique is found to be very useful in the transient plasmas such as pulsed plasma and tokamak edge plasma.

The main objective of our research is analyzing user's emotional changes while using a product, to reveal the influence of usability on human emotions. In this study we have extracted some emotional words that can come up during user interaction with a product and reveal emotional changes through three methods. Finally, we extracted 88 emotional words for measuring user's emotions expressed while using products. And we categorized the 88 words to form 6 groups by using factor analysis. The 6 categories that were extracted as a result of this study were found to be user's representative emotions expressed while using products. It is expected that emotional words and user's representative emotions extracted in this study will be used as subjective evaluation data that is required to measure user's emotional changes while using a product. Also, we proposed the effective methods for measuring user's emotion expressed while using a product in the environment which is natural and accessible for the field of design, by using the emotion mouse and the Eyegaze. An examinee performs several tasks with the emotion mouse through the mobile phone simulator on the computer monitor connected to the Eyegaze. While testing, the emotion mouse senses user's EDA and PPG and transmits the data to the computer. In addition, the Eyegaze can observe the change of pupil size. And a video camera records user's facial expression while testing. After each testing, a subjective evaluation on the emotional changes expressed by the user is performed by the user him/herself using the emotional words extracted from the above study. We aim to evaluate the satisfaction level of usability of the product and compare it with the actual experiment results. Through continuous studies based on these researches, we hope to supply a basic framework for the development of interface with consideration to the user's emotions.

Ladar (LAser Detection And Ranging, Lidar)는 레이저 신호를 이용하여 대상지역에 대하여 정밀한 3차원 거리를 취득하는 센서로 최근 들어 미사일, 항공기 등에 탑재되어 자동표적인식 등에 활용되고 있다. 기존의 영상기반센서와 달리 센서와 표적과의 거리를 밝기나 색상 값으로 표현한 range 영상을 제공하며, 이로부터 표적의 정밀한 3차원 모델의 생성이 가능하기 때문에 표적의 인식과 식별을 가능하게 한다. 이러한 Ladar 센서의 데이터를 모의 생성한다면, 센서의 개선 및 개발 또는 센서 데이터 처리 알고리즘의 개발을 더욱 효율적으로 수행할 수 있게 될 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 특히 Linear FM 기반의 Ladar 센서의 신호 생성 및 신호처리 과정을 시뮬레이션하여 Ladar 영상을 모의 생성하고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 우선 FM chirp modulator를 탑재한 시스템의 레이저 신호를 모의로 생성하고, FFT기반 신호처리를 통해 센서와 표적과의 거리를 획득하였으며, 최종적으로 Ladar range 영상을 성공적으로 모의 생성하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of simulation in nursing education based on caring for elderly cognition disorder patients. The education consisted of a caring program for patients that included a process of assessment of a patient's mental status, diagnosis of the patient's health condition, and intervention to address the problems by using therapeutic communication. Methods: A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. A total of 69 subjects (undergraduate students) participated in the education and they were assigned to two groups: the experimental group (n=32) and the control group (n=37). Data-gathering structured questionnaires that included communication competence, academic self-efficacy, and attitudes about the elderly. The data were collected from October 2013 to December 2013, and statistical analyses were conducted with-test and t-test using the SPSS 21.0 program. Results: With respect to education, there was significant improvement in communication competence in the experiment group (t=2.41, p=.022) compared with in the control group (t=.69, p=.494). However, there was no statistically significant difference in academic self-efficacy and attitude about the elderly. Conclusion: Simulation-based education should continue to be developed further for better elderly-patient care. Integrated education in particular using a high-fidelity simulator will contribute to improvements in nursing competence in this area.

본 논문은 도플러 효과가 GPS 수신기용 비동기 2차 DLL(noncoherent second-order delay locked loop)의 추적 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 성능 분석을 위하여 선형 DLL의 추적 정확도(steady state error and jitter)와 비선형 루프의 신뢰도를 고려하였다. 루프의 신뢰도에 관한 비선형 분석은 MTLL(mean time to lose lock)에서 근사 확장법을 사용하였다. 특히, 최대 MTLL을 얻기 위하여 loop에서 대역 여파기의 최적 대역폭과 최적 루프 파라미터를 제안하였다. 저궤도 위성의 경우는 도플러 영향이 크게 나타나므로 MTLL을 최대로 추적 오차를 최소 하는 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 시뮬레이션 결과로부터 설계된 디지탈 지연동기 루프 시스템이 정확히 동작함을 확인하기 위해 GPS 신호를 발생시키는 시뮬레이터인 STR-2770을 사용, 도플러 주파수를 첨가하여 실제 상황과 같은 환경에서 FPGA로 구현된 DLL회로의 성능을 검증하였다.

This paper introduces the development of a transient monitoring system to detect the early stage of a transient, to identify the type of the transient scenario, and to inform an operator with the remaining time to turbine trip when there is no operator's relevant control. This study focused on the transients originating from a secondary system in nuclear power plants (NPPs), because the secondary system was recognized to be a more dominant factor to make unplanned turbine-generator trips which can ultimately result in reactor trips. In order to make the proposed methodology practical forward, all the transient scenarios registered in a simulator of a 1,000 MWe pressurized water reactor were archived in the transient pattern database. The transient patterns show plant behavior until turbine-generator trip when there is no operator's intervention. Meanwhile, the operating data periodically captured from a plant computer is compared with an individual transient pattern in the database and a highly matched section among the transient patterns enables isolation of the type of transient and prediction of the expected remaining time to trip. The transient pattern database consists of hundreds of variables, so it is difficult to speedily compare patterns and to draw a conclusion in a timely manner. The transient pattern database and the operating data are, therefore, converted into a smaller dimension using the principal component analysis (PCA). This paper describes the process of constructing the transient pattern database, dealing with principal components, and optimizing similarity measures.
