In this paper, we propose the surveillance and combat robot framework for remote monitoring and robot control on the smart phone, which is implemented with the fusion technology called RITS(Robot technology & Information Technology System). In our implemented system, the camera phone mounted on the robot generates signals to control the robot and sends images to the smart phone of the operator. Therefore, we can monitor the surrounding area of the robot with the smart phone. Besides the control of the movement of the robot, we can fire the weapons armed on the robot by sending the fire command. From experimental results, we can conclude that it's possible to control the robot and monitor the surrounding area of the robot and fire the weapons in real time in the region where the 3G(Generation) mobile communication is possible. In addition, we controlled the robot using the 2G mobile communication or wired phone when the robot is in the visual range.

In this paper, a fire prevention system based on a broadband powerline communication (PLC) system is implemented and a demonstration experiment is carried out to prevent from or promptly dealing with possible fires within the nacelle of a wind turbine generator system (WTGS). For this purpose, an inductive coupler having satisfactory attenuation characteristic in the frequency region for high-speed PLC is also manufactured. It is confirmed that the implemented system can monitor the environmental change inside the nacelle in real time by transmitting various information obtained by the sensors such as temperature, flame, and smoke sensor installed in the nacelle and thermal image recorded by a thermal camera to the ground control center through the PLC system. Therefore, it is, considered that the implemented system will significantly improve the reliability of the fire monitoring and prevention system of the WTGS in conjunction with the existing safety system.

In Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) disaster, integrated and optimized equipment package including stretcher, isolation unit, patient monitoring and treatment equipment is essential to achieve proper treatment and prevent secondary contamination. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency and ease of use of integrated CBRN disaster equipment package for disaster medical response. This study was a randomized crossover study using a manikin simulation for emergency medical technitian (EMT). All participants used the existing devices and prototype of integrated CBRN disaster equipment package alternately. Efficiency was measured by time from vital sign change to detection or treatment application. Ease was use was measured by questionnaires for each patient monitor, stretcher care and isolation unit. 12 EMTs were enrolled. hypoxia-detection time of integrated equipment group was significantly shorter than existing equipment group (4.9 s (3.8-3.9) vs 3.5 s (2.5-3.9), p < 0.05). There was decreasing tendency of ECG change detection and facial mask oxygen supply but no statistical significance was observed. Overall satisfaction of patient monitoring device in integrated equipment group was significantly higher than existing devices (4(3.5-5) vs 3(3-3), p < 0.05). The use of integrated CBRN disaster equipment package shortened the hypoxia detection time and improved usability of vital sign monitor compared to existing devices.

In this paper, we implement a wireless home monitoring system using physical computing platform with the open source type for house environment management. Sensors for temperature, optics and ultrasonic waves are used for home environment elements detection and control for the home safety. To obtain information related with home and transmit it to RIA Windows server system, XBee wireless communication system is used and the transmitted information is saved in mySQL database for history management. The possibility of prevention against fire disaster of a house situated in a dense buildings area and highly populated environments is suggested by adopting the proposed system.

There are lots of studies on application systems using wireless sensor networks. As the application systems are adapted to industrial field, the reliability of these systems becomes new key feature. The lack of reliability is an obstacle to extension of wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we propose the monitoring system framework that can offer the reliability of wireless sensor networks using a micro camera module and wireless sensor network nodes. And also we propose the efficient transfer method for image information over low rate wireless networks. Using these system framework and transfer method, we implement WiSN(Wireless image Sensor Network) based fire monitoring system.

The shipbuilding and offshore industry is a large and complex assembly industry, which causes many safety accidents. The major accidents in the shipbuilding and offshore industry workplaces are stenosis, falling objects, dust, fire, explosions, and gas poisoning. The accident by worker in this industry mainly has three factors: frequent movement, narrow work space, and increased use of subcontractors. To control these factors, it is necessary to monitor the worker's location and work status. In this paper, a worker location monitoring system using inaudible sound wave was designd that can be used in environments with many metal barriers. The process included deriving stakeholder requirements, transforming to system requirements, designing system architecture, and developing prototype. The prototype was validated by third-party testing agency. As a result, it satisfied the designed performance and verified its feasibility.

Recently, switchboards for MV/LV distribution customers have been united and digitalized rapidly. This paper suggestes the effective information visualization method for the data mesured from cubicle switchboard for MV/LV distribution customers. We developed the algorithm that analyzes a large number of mesured data and displays them to users overall, such as fire index, power condition index, switchboard safety index, and power diminution index. Using a touch screen made users to operate it easily. User interface was also strengthened by taking graph visualization. We guess the information visualiztion method suggested in this paper shows the new direction that heavy electrical equipments including switchboards are going to develop in the future.

While the infrared imaging satellites with the several type were developed and operated in the foreign countries, we do not have the domestic infrared imaging satellite up to now. In the paper, the general characteristics of infrared and the applications of infrared image were introduced. Also the oversea development status of the infrared imaging satellite was surveyed and introduced to this paper. According to foreign status, the infrared image is utilized in various application including the forest fire monitoring, the volcano activity research, sea surface temperature measurement, land surface temperature calculation, the climate change research, and the environment monitoring. According to these trend the development of the domestic infrared imaging satellite in low earth orbit was required.

Current subway station's office employee must perform safety management tasks by monitoring the various safety management systems. But these monitoring systems are limited in effective situational awareness and response to a state of emergency immediately. It is necessary to develop an integrated safety management system display. In this study, we developed subway station safety management system's (CCTV, fire detection & alarm system, screen door control equipment) integrated prototype display with ecological interface design framework and evaluated prototype display interface's usability with GOMS model. The result was that the ecological interface's performance was better than existing safety management system's interface.

Industrial Motors diagnostic equipment is highly dependent on the automation system, so if there are defects in the automation equipment, it can only rely on the operator's intuitive judgment.To help with intuitive judgment, Park's Vactor Approach(PVA) represents the current signal as a pattern of circles, so it can tell if a fault occurs when the circle is distorted. However, the failure to judge the degree of distortion of the circle pattern is the basis of the fault, so it will face difficulties. In this paper, in order to compare the faults of PVA, the period of d-axis current of PVA pulsation was mastered, so that two phase differences occurred in the same signal source. Through experiments, it is confirmed that this is a 90 degree cross formation of PVA, which is convenient for judging from the vision that there is no fault, thus helping the operator to make intuitive judgment.
