  • In this paper, we propose a method for recognizing eating behavior with almost no motion acceleration. First, by using the acceleration of gravity acting on the wrist direction, we calculate the angle between the gravity and the wrist direction. After that, detect wrist reciprocating motion when peak and vally exist in specific angle band. And then, when accumulate the number of wrist reciprocating motion occurrences are up to 10, then regard as the meal time 5 minutes before the detection time. Also, estimate the meal time only if its duration is more than 7 minutes. Using the data of 2128 minutes, which was collected from four graduate student, the result of the meal time estimation shows 95.63% accuracy.

  • In this study, the diffusion behaviors of C and Co in liquid phase sintering of WC-Co system were investigated whether these two components diffused in the same direction in case of having opposite gradient each other with not being $\eta$ phase. The green compacts with controlled compositions in not being of $\eta$ phase and gradient composition which one is WC-5Co-1.2%C, the other is WC-XCo-0.2%C (where X = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25) were sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ and $1400^{\circ}C$ and then the diffusion behaviors of C and Co were investigated by analyses of compositional change, also determined for microstructure and microhardness. Also, same testing was carried out on the specimens with dual layers sintered in upright and reverse positions to evaluate the effect of gravity on the diffusion in liquid Co. From the results of this study, we can find the fact that the direction of diffusion for C and Co in WC-Co system during liquid phase sintering was different and the effect of gravity for the liquid was insignificant. Also other physical properties were changed on the diffusion of elements.

  • The fracture behaviour of concrete gravity dam mainly due to uplift pressure acting at the crack face was studied. Triangular type and parabolic type distribution of the uplift pressure including uniform type were first considered in case of calculating stress intensity factor(SIF) by the surface integral method. Second, the directions of crack propagation according to the uplift pressure distribution were pursued by FRANC(FRacture ANalysis Code). Third, critical crack lengths according to the uplift pressure distribution under the overflow depth were calculated. The SIF values obtained from the surface integral method were compared with those by FRANC and relatively good agrements could be obtained between both of them. And it could be seen that the direction of crack propagation in case of triangular pressure distribution was a little benter to the dam base than the one by the uniform type. Maximum critical crack lengths under the overflow depth were obtained at about 2/5-1/2 of the dam height.

  • An free-fall object is received only force of gravity. Movement that only accept gravity is free-fall movement, and a free-falling object is free falling body. In other words, free falling body is only freely falling objects under the influence of gravity, regardless of the initial state of objects movement. In this paper, we assume, ignoring the resistance of the air, and the free-fall acceleration by the height does not change within the range of the short distance in the vertical direction. Under these assumptions, we can know about time and maximum height to reach the peak point from jumping vertically upward direction, time and speed of the car return to the starting position, and time and speed when the car fall to the ground. It can be measured by jumping degree and risk of accident from car or motorcycle in telematics.

  • The gravity measurement has been conducted at 327 station with an interval of 25 m along the survey lines of 1.6 km and 1.7 km traversing Hyungsan river and of 2.35 km and 2.42 km running N-S direction near Heunghae-eup in Pohang basin. Bouguer gravity anomalies were obtained, and geologic structure along four survey lines were interpreted by applying Fourier series and Talwani methods for two demensional body. A fault is in existence along the Hyungsan river, and northern block of it is displaced down by 150 m to 200 m relative to southern one. The thicknesses of Yeonil Group vary from 250 m to 550 m and from 150 m to 300 m in the northern and southern blocks of the fault, respectively. Another fault is in existence running E-W direction near Heunghae-eup, and its southern block is displaced down by about 250 m relative to its northern block. The thicknesses of Yeonil Group vary from 200 m to 400 m and from 500 m to 700 m in the southern and northern blocks of the fault, respectively. Above two faults are normal faults and make a graben structure, which results the age of rocks in the central region between the faults is younger than those of outside regions. This result coincides with that of paleontological study.

  • Small clear specimens of Quercus acutissima Carr. and Larix caempferi Carr. were used to measure shrinkage and thermal conductivity for the reasonable and effective use. All samples were conditioned to 18, 12, 5% moisture contents in a humidity chamber of 86, 66, 20% relative humidity(RH), respectively and room temperature(23℃) All specimens were conducted on the shrinkage and thermal conductivity test at each MCs. These processes(cycle) were repeated three times. The radial and tangential shrinkages of Quercus acutissima Carr. and Larix caempferi Carr. decreased at each level of MCs, with the increasing cycles. The radial and tangential shrinkages increased as the specific gravity(on oven-dry weight and volume basis) increased. Thermal conductivities of the radial and tangential direction of Quercus acutissima Carr. and Larix caempferi Carr. increased at each levels of MCs, with increasing cycles. Good correlations were obtained between shrinkages and thermal conductivities of radial and tangential direction, and specific gravity (on oven-dry weight and oven-dry volume basis) and MC.

  • An airborne gravity survey using a helicopter was carried out in October 2008, offshore along the northern Noto Peninsula, to understand the shallow and regional underground structure. Eleven flight lines, including three tie lines, were arranged at 2 km spacing within 20 km of the coast. The total length of the flight lines was ~700 km. The Bouguer anomalies computed from the airborne gravimetry are consistent with those computed from land and shipborne gravimetry, which gradually decrease in the offshore direction. So, the accuracy of the airborne system is considered to be adequate. A local gravity low in Wajima Bay, which was already known from seafloor gravimetry, was also observed. This suggests that the airborne system has a structural resolution of ~2 km. Reduction of gravity data to a common datum was conducted by compiling the three kinds of gravity data, from airborne, shipborne, and land surveys. In the present study, we have used a solid angle numerical integration method and an iteration method. We finally calculated the gravity anomalies at 300 m above sea level. We needed to add corrections of 2.5 mGals in order to compile the airborne and shipborne gravity data smoothly, so the accuracy of the Bouguer anomaly map is considered to be nearly 2 mGal on the whole, and 5 mGals at worst in limited or local areas.

  • To make reliable interpretations on the sparse spatial data, the spatial distribution characteristics that are inevitable for spatial estimation should be properly analyzed. Variograms have been widely used for obtaining the spatial characteristics inherent to data in spatial estimation problems. But their applications were limited as the basic information for further data estimation. Therefore, the additional analysis of the meaning of variograms is required for more reliable data processing and interpretations. In this paper, we investigated the proper meaning of variogram values and the specific features of distributions which can be obtained through variogram analysis. Variograms can provide the information on both linearity and the strength changes of interrelationships between the data sets according to the direction and lag distance. First, sill and range values, which are main parameters of variograms, were analyzed. Then a similarity range using spatial auto-correlation values was introduced to verify the applicability of linearity analysis through the comparative study of spatial distribution features of gravity and magnetic data collected in Hwasan caldera. Through these analyses, we were able to identify the dissimilar patterns of gravity and magnetic data that became apparent according to the distribution and variation ranges of the data sets. It is inferred that the gravity and magnetic anomalous bodies are extended to the ground because linearity direction of gravity and magnetic data appear similarly with linearity derection of topography in Hwasan caldera.

  • The steel rib, one of the main support of tunnel, plays a very important role to stabilize tunnel excavation surface until shotcrete or rockbolt starts to perform a supporting function. In general, a steel rib at the horizontal funnel is being installed in the direction of gravity which is known favorable in terms of constructability and stability. However, as the direction of principal stress at the inclined tunnel wall is different from that of gravity, the optimum direction of steel rib could be different from that at the horizontal tunnel. In this study, a numerical method was used to analyze the direction of force that would develope displacement at the inclined tunnel surface, and that direction could be the optimum direction of steel rib. The support efficiency of steel rib could be maximized when the steel rib was installed to resist the displacement of the tunnel. Three directions which were recommended for the inclined tunnels in the Korea Tunnel Design Standard were used for the numerical models of steel rib direction. In conclusion, the results show that all displacement angle of the models are almost perpendicular to the tunnel surface regardless of face angle. So if the steel rib would be installed perpendicular to the inclined tunnel surface, the support efficiency of steel rib could be maximized.

  • This paper describes the design of a two-axis force sensor for robots finger. In detects the x-direction force Fx and y-direction force Fy simultaneously. In order to safely grasp an unknown object using the robots fingers, they should detect the force or gripping direction and the force of gravity direction, and perform the force control using the forces detected. Therefore, the robots hand should be made by the robots finger with tow-axis force sensor that can detect the x-direction force and y-direction force si-multaneously. Thus, in this paper, the two-axis force sensor for robots finger is designed using several parallel-plate beams. The equations to calculate the strain of the beams according to the force in order to design the sensing element of the force sensor are derived and these equations are used to design the aize of two-axis force sensor sensing element. The reliability of the derive equa-tions is verified buy performing a finite element analysis of the sensing element. The strain obtained through this process is compared to that obtained through the theory analysis and a characteristics test of the fabricated sensor. It reveals that the rated strains calculated from the derive equations make a good agreement with the results from the Finite Element Method analysis and from the character-istic test.
