  • In this paper, we present a low-cost fire detection system using a thermal camera and a smartphone. The developed system collects thermal and RGB videos from the developed camera. To detect fire, candidate fire regions are extracted from videos obtained using a thermal camera. The block mean of variation of adjacent frames is measured to analyze the dynamic characteristics of the candidate fire regions. After analyzing the dynamic characteristics of regions of interest, a fire is determined by the candidate fire regions. In order to evaluate the performance of our system, we compared with a smoke detector, a heat detector, and a flame detector. In the experiments, our fire detection system showed the excellent performance in detecting fire with an overall accuracy rate of 97.8 %.

  • Nowadays fires must be detected rapidly Abstract, and by connecting the detector's distribution, sender, transponder, receiver and others can be connected. Mechanical systems are implemented in today's buildings. However, this kind of constructing method has some disadvantages, that is, if fire happens somewhere, we cannot judge where the fires happen, and it is also difficult to judge what extent the fires reach. In order to overcome the disadvantages, in this paper, according to the tendency of combining the Ubiquitous and Intelligent Network, we propose a type of system by using the method of comparing the differences of the existed systems. The proposed system is designed to perceive the fires rapidly and confirm the fire place and fire scale correctly.

  • This paper presents a study on the analysis for false alarm of heat detector using HRR(Heat Release Rate). And it is represented to threshold value and domain of false alarm. The HRR threshold value of false alarm is calculated to use parameters obtained by small scale fire-experiment. The experiment is conducted to measure detector activation time and flame spread of wood cribs fire, etc. The results show that HRR threshold value of Fixed type detector is 20.24 kW and rate of rise type detector is 13.59 kW, respectively.

  • The residual gas in an spark-ignition engine is one of important factors on emissions and performance such as combustion stability. With high residual gas fractions, flame speed and maximum combustion temperature are decreased and these are deeply related with combustion stability especially at idle and NOx emission at relatively high engine load. Therefore, there is a need to characterize the residual gas fraction as a function of the engine operating load. Therefore, there is a need to characterize the residual gas fraction as a function of the engine operating parameters. In the present study, the quantitative measurement technique of residual gas fraction was studied by using Fast Response Flame Ionization Detector(FRFID). The measuring technique and model for estimation of residual gas fraction were reported in this paper. By the assuming that the raw signal from FRFID saturates with the same slope for firing and misfiring cycle, in-cylinder hydrocarbon(HC) concentration can be estimated. Residual gas fraction can be obtained from the in-cylinder HC concentration measured at firing and motoring condition. The developed measurement and calibration procedure were applied to the limited engine operating and design condition such as intake manifold pressure and valve overlap. The results show relevant trends by comparing those from previous studies.

  • According to the stringent exhaust emission regulation control of air fuel ratio is one of the most important issues on gasoline engine. Although many researches have been carried out to identify the fuel transport phenomena in a port fueled gasoline engine, complexity of fuel film behavior in the intake port makes it difficult. The fuel film behavior was investigated recently by using visualization method and these gave us qualitative understanding. In this paper, the quantitative measurement method for the port fuel film is studied by using Fast Response Flame Ionization Detector(FRFID). The mass of fuel film on the port wall was measured by using the methods of fuel injection off, injection on and regression. The Fuel film mass was increased with incresing load at the same engine speed.

  • A new method of determination of fatty acid using gas chromatography-flame photometric detector (GC-FPD) is described. Fatty acid was methylthiomethyl-esterified with methylthiomethy chloride in 1,8-diazabicyclo [5,4,0]-undec-7-ene catalyst and its concentration measured by GC-FPD with 3%OV-1 or 3% FS-1 column. The FPD responses of thirteen fatty acid methylthiomethyl esters were examined and were proportional to the concentration of the esters without regard to their chemical structures. Consequently it was possible to determine various fatty acid using one standard calibration curve by GC-FPD. We could rapidly and conveniently determine varous fatty acids using one standard calibration curve by GC-FPD. We could rapidly and conveniently determine 13 fatty acids in Ginseng Radix alba by this method.

  • For gas chromatographic determination with the sulfur-specific flame photometric detector, nine ${\beta}$-lactam antibiotics without ${\alpha}$-amino group were esterified with borontrifluoride-methanol complex and then N-benzoylated with benzoyl chloride. The gas chromatographic separation of these products was successfully carried out on various silicon polymers (OV-1, OV-101, OV-17, OV-225, and QF-1) coated on the acid washed, silanized diatomite. The structure of the esterified and N-benzoylated product was confirmed by mass spectromer.
