Impact location monitoring is one of the major concerns of the smart health monitoring. For this application, multipoint ultrasonic sensors are to be employed. In this study, a multiplexed FBG sensor system with wide dynamic range was proposed and stabilization controlling system was also developed for the maintenance of maximum sensitivity of sensors. For the intensity demodulation system of FBG sensors, Fabry-Perot tunable filter(FP-TF) with 23.8nm FSR(free spectral range) was used, which behaves as two separate filters between $1530 \~ 1560$ nm range. Two FBG sensors were attached on the bottom side of the graphite/epoxy composite beam specimen, and low velocity impact tests were performed to detect the one-dimensional impact locations. Impact locations were calculated by the arrival time differences of the impact longitudinal waves acquired by the two FBGs. As a result, multiplexed in-line FBG sensors could detect the moment of impact precisely and found the impact locations with the average error of 1.32mm.

This paper describes the detection of spatio-temporal parameter using an accelerometer and footswitches to evaluate a symmetry and balance of hemiplegic patients. We detected gait data using a 3-axis accelerometer that mounted between L3 and IA intervertebral area and footswitches made by FSR-Sensor attached insole. To minimize the error of the gait parameters to be detected incorrectly in case of using only accelerometer, we enhancement the performance of detection by measuring an accelerometer and foots witches data at the same time. So, it was possible to detect more accurate gait parameters. As a result, we can confirm the symmetry and balance of hemiplegic patients. In the future. these results could be used to evaluate the walking ability in hemiplegic patients in clinical pratice.

In this study, we proposed an algorithm which can detect the walking event in hemiplegic patient using three axis acceleration signal. Twenty hemiplegic patients were participated in an experiment on a level corridor. To evaluate the accuracy, we compared the time difference between the detected event and signal from FSR-Sensor. Consequently, the mean difference of 46.1ms was obtained and it suggests that the proposed method is effective to detect the walking event in hemiplegic patient. In future, these results could be used to evaluate the walking ability in hemiplegic patient in clinical practice.

본 논문에서는 굴절률 감지 방식의 수직 결합형 폴리머 마이크로링 공진기 기반 글루코스 바이오 센서를 제안하고 구현하였다. 이 센서에서 상부 클래딩 역할을 하는 글루코스 분석 대상물의 농도 변화는 링 공진기의 공진파장 이동을 측정함으로써 얻어진다. 특히, 센서의 감도를 향상시키기 위해 다음과 같은 방법을 사용하였다. 첫째로, 분석 대상물에 근접한 유효굴절률을 갖는 폴리머 도파로 구조를 공진기 센서에 도입하였다. 둘째로, 분석 물질의 접촉면적을 확대하기 위해 측면 클래딩층이 충분히 식각된 pedestal 링 도파로 구조를 사용하였다. 제안된 공진기 센서는 빔전파 방법을 사용하여 설계하고 분석하였다. 사용된 코어 및 클래딩용 폴리머의 굴절률은 각각 1.430과 1.375였으며, 링 반경은 $400\;{\mu}m$였다. 이 때 얻어진 도파로의 유효굴절률은 ${\sim}1.390$였으며 글루코스 수용액의 굴절률 1.333와 매우 근접하였다. 제작된 소자의 기본적인 전달특성은 FSR(free spectral range) 0.66 nm, 대역폭 ${\sim}0.15\;nm$, Q 값 10,000 이었다. 1550 nm 광파장 대역에서 얻어진 측정 결과를 살펴보면, 센서 감도는 ${\sim}0.28\;pm$/(mg/dL)였으며, 이에 따른 굴절률 변화 감도는 ${\sim}200\;nm/RIU$였다.

In order to minimize casualties from marine vessel accidents that occur frequently at home and abroad, it is important to ensure the safety of the passengers aboard the vessel in the event of an accident. There is an EPIRB system as a system for disaster preparedness in the marine situation currently on the market, but there is a problem that the price is very expensive. In order to overcome the cost problem, which is a disadvantage of previous system, LoRaWAN-based communication is used. LoRaWAN communication-based vessel positioning and risk detection system based on LoRaWAN communication transmits measurement data of each module using two Beacon and GPS modules to stably perform position measurement for both indoor and outdoor situations. The rider danger situation detection system can detect the safety status of the rider using the 3-axis acceleration sensor, collect data from the rider positioning system and the rider safety status detection system, and send to server using LoRa communication. When conducting communication experiments in the long-distance maritime situation and actual communication experiments using the implemented system, it was found that the two experiments showed over 90% communication success rate on average.

Plantar pressure data can be used not only for walking patterns in daily life, but also for eating, health care, and disease prevention. For this reason, the importance of plantar pressure measurement has recently increased. However, most systems that can measure both static and dynamic plantar pressure at the same time are expensive, not portable, and not universal. In this study, we propose a system that effectively reduces the number of sensors in plantar pressure system. Through this, we want to increase the economics and practicality by reducing the size and weight of the system, as well as the power consumption. First, for static plantar pressure and dynamic plantar pressure, the values measured by existing precision instruments are analyzed to determine how many measurement parts the insole is divided into. Next, for the divided measuring parts, the position of the sensor is determined by calculating the Center of Pressure (COP) for each part with the values of all dynamic and static plantar pressure sensors. Finally, in order to construct a personalized plantar pressure measurement system, we propose a weighting method for the static plantar pressure COP and the dynamic plantar pressure COP for each part.

This study introduces a smart wrist band system with pressure measurements using wrist skin curvature variation due to finger motion. It is easy to wear and take off without pre-adaptation or surgery to use. By analyzing the depth variation of wrist skin curvature during each finger motion, we elaborated the most suitable location of each Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) to be attached in the wristband with anatomical consideration. A 3D depth camera was used to investigate distinctive wrist locations, responsible for the anatomically de-coupled thumb, index, and middle finger, where the variations of wrist skin curvature appear independently. Then sensors within the wristband were attached correspondingly to measure the pressure change of those points and eventually the finger motion. The smart wrist band was validated for its practicality through two demonstrative applications, i.e., one for a real-time control of prosthetic robot hands and the other for natural human-computer interfacing. And hopefully other futuristic human-related applications would be benefited from the proposed smart wrist band system.

손가락 골절 치료 후에는 장시간 사용하지 않아 손가락 힘줄 운동 능력이 떨어져 관절이 뻣뻣해지고, 경직된다. 이것은 근력손실 및 유연성 저하를 비롯한 손 사용의 어려움으로 이어질 수 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해서는 손가락의 유연성 회복과 근력 강화를 위한 반복적인 재활 훈련을 해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 집에서도 사용할 수 있는 손가락 힘 훈련용 웨어러블 장갑 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템은 FSR센서를 사용하여 힘을 측정하며, 신호 획득을 위한 맞춤형 PCB를 적용했고 고무 밴드를 사용하여 크기를 조정할 수 있다. 균형잡힌 손가락 근력 훈련 평가를 위해 네 가지 경우의 동작에서 쥐는 힘 측정 결과를 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 다섯 손가락 힘의 중심을 나타내는 벡터를 제안하며, 힘의 균형 수준을 수치적으로 나타낼 수 있음을 보였다.
