In the development of intelligent vehicles, path tracking of unmanned vehicle is a basis of autonomous driving and automatic navigation. It is very important to find the exact position of a vehicle for the path tracking, and it is possible to get the position information from GPS. However the information of GPS is not the current position but the past position because a vehicle is moving and GPS has a time delay. In this paper, therefore, the moving distance of a vehicle is estimated using a direction sensor and a velocity sensor to compensate the position error of GPS. In the steering control, optimal fuzzy rules for the path tracking can be found through the simulation of Simulink. Real driving experiments show the fuzzy rules are good for the steering control and the position error of GPS is well compensated by the proposed estimation method.

In this paper, we propose a ubiquitous Farming Diary System which can support the easy and reliable recording of a farming diary for the certificate on environment-friendly agricultural products by using the USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) technologies. By using growth-related data, the system can also control farming facilities remotely and automatically. To achieve this goal, the UFDS(Ubiquitous Farming Diary System) is consisted with 3 layers. The first 'physical layer' can collect data from sensors, cameras and facilities then controls the growth environment based on the analyzed information. The second 'Middle layer' can process and store the data from 'physical layer' to sensor manager, image manager, control manager and diary manager separately. The third 'application layer' can provide growth-related services to users through various applications. The UFDS can recording grow history information automatically and Easily. Besides, the system can make an accurate and reliable farming diary with multimedia information such as motion and sound. Furthermore, environmental information such as temperature, humidity, luminance and soil conditions (soil temperature, soil humidity, soil EC) can be monitored in real-time and the facilities managed in remote sites.

Silicon surface nanostructures, which can be easily prepared by electrochemical etching, have attracted considerable attention because of its useful physical properties that facilitate application in diverse fields. In this work, electrochemical and electrochemical-scanning tunneling microscopic (EC-STM) techniques were employed to study the evolution of surface morphology during the electrochemical etching of Si(111)-H in a fluoride solution. The results exhibited that silicon oxide of the Si(111) surface was entirely stripped and then the surface became hydrogen terminated, atomically flat, and anisotropic in the fluoride solution during chemical etching. At the potential more negative than the flat band one, the surface had a tendency to be eroded very slowly, whereas the steps of the terrace were not only etched quickly but the triangular pits also deepened on anodic potentials. These results provided information on the conditions required for the preparation of porous nanostructures on the Si(111) surface, which may be applicable for sensor (or device) preparation (Nanotechnology and Functional Materials for Engineers, Elsevier 2017, pp. 67-91).

본 연구는 다변량 통계분석을 이용하여 다양한 기상인자가 대기 중 미세먼지(pariculate matter 10, PM10) 농도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 대기 중 PM10 농도에 따른 빗물 수질 변화를 평가하였다. 총 11회의 강우 이벤트를 대상으로 강우 전후의 대기 중 PM10 농도를 실시간 측정하였으며, 총 183개 빗물 샘플을 수집하여 pH와 EC (electrical conductivity)를 실시간 측정하고 양이온(Na+, Mg2+, K+, Ca2+, NH4+) 및 음이온(Cl-, NO3-, SO42-) 농도를 분석하였다. 측정된 데이터를 바탕으로 대기 중 PM10 농도, 기상인자, 빗물 수질 간 상관관계를 규명하기 위해 주성분 분석(principal component analysis, PCA)과 피어슨 상관분석(Pearson correlation analysis)을 실시하였다. 강우 유형 1(강우 강도: > 5 mm/h)의 경우, 누적 강우량에 따른 대기 중 PM10 농도는 유의한 음의 상관관계(r = -0.55, p < 0.05)를 보였으며 대기 중 PM10 농도는 빗물 내 수용성 이온(r = 0.25) 농도와 EC (r = 0.4)를 증가시키는 요인으로 작용하며, 빗물의 pH는 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다(r = -0.7). 반면, 강우 유형 2(강우강도: <5 mm/h)의 경우, 누적강우량과 대기 중 PM10 농도는 음의 상관관계를 보이지 않았으며, 대기 중 PM10 농도와 빗물 수질 간 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계가 나타나지 않았다.

Achievements in the real-time soil spectro-photometer are: an improved soil penetrator to ensure a uniform soil surface under high speed conditions, real-time collecting of underground soil reflectance, getting underground soil color images, use of a RTK-GPS, and all units are arranged for compactness. With the soil spectrophotometer, field experiments were conducted in a 0.5 ha paddy field. With the original reflectance, averaging and multiple scatter correction, Kubelka-Munk (KM) transformation as soil absorption, its 1st and 2nd derivatives were calculated. When the spectra was highly correlated with the soil parameters, stepwise regression analysis was conducted. Results include the best prediction models for moisture, soil organic matter (SOM), nitrate nitrogen ($NO_3-N$), pH and electric conductivity (EC), and soil maps obtained by block kriging analysis.

This paper describes the effect of the split injection on combustion and emission characteristics in a common rail diesel engine at various operating conditions. The combustion pressures and exhaust emissions such as $NO_x$ and soot were measured at various split injection timings. The experimental apparatus of this study is composed of 4 cylinder engine installed with piezoelectric pressure sensor, EC dynamometer, and exhaust gas analyzer for the measurement of $NO_x$, CO, HC and soot emissions. Results show that the split injection has a great effect on reducing the rapid premixed combustion and $NO_x$ emissions.

This article reviews the recent progress in nanowell array biosensors that use the label-free detection protocol, and are detected in their natural forms. These nanowell array biosensors are fabricated by nanofabrication technologies that should be useful for developing highly sensitive and selective also reproducible biosensors. Moreover, electrochemical method was selected as analysis method that has high sensitivity compared with other analysis. Finally, highly sensitive nanobiosensor was achieved by combining nanofabrication technologies and classical electrochemical method. Many examples are mentioned about the sensing performance of nanowell array biosensors will be evaluated in terms of sensitivity and detection limit compared with other micro-sized electrode without nanowell array.

실제 무선센서네트워크 환경에서 무선링크는 일반적으로 발생하는 간섭, 감쇠, 멀티패스 등으로 인해 비신뢰성과 비대칭성을 가진다. 기존에 제안된 위치기반라우팅기법들은 이러한 무선링크의 특성을 고려하지 않아, 데이터 전송 성공률과 에너지 효율이 떨어지는 문제를 가진다. 본 논문에서는 무선링크의 비신뢰성과 비대칭성 그리고 거리 값을 고려한 기대전송비용(EC)을 정의하고, 데이터와 ACK 패킷 각각에 대해 예상전송비용이 최소인 경로를 찾아 에너지 효율적인 전송을 한다. 이러한 방법을 통해 센서노드의 제한된 베터리 자원을 효율적으로 사용하고, 네트워크 라이프타임을 증가시킨다.

Recently, IoT technology has been widely used in many industries. Also research on integrating IoT technology with IoT sensors is actively underway. One of the important challenges in IoT is to support low-latency communication. With the development of communication networks and protocols, a variety of protocols are being used, and their performance is improving. In this paper, we compare the performance and analyze the characteristics of some of the major communication protocols in IoT application, namely MQTT, HTTP, and HTTPS. IoT sensors acquired data by connecting an Arduino equipped with ESP8266 and a temperature and humidity sensor (DHT11). The server measured the performance by building servers for each protocol using AWS EC2. We analyzed the packets transmitted between the Arduino and the server during the data transmission. We measured the amount of data and transfer time. The measurement results showed that MQTT had the lowest data transmission time and data amount among the three protocols.
