Biological and chemical sensors are the two most frequently used sensors to monitor the water resource. Chemical sensor is very accurate to pick up the types and to measure the concentration of the chemical substance. Drawback is that it works for just one type of chemical substance. Therefore a lot of expensive monitoring system needs to be installed to determine the safeness of the water, which costs too much expense. Biological sensor, on the contrary, can judge the degree of pollution of the water with just one monitoring system. However, it is not easy to figure out the type of contaminant with a biological sensor. In this study, an endeavor is made to identify the toxicant in the water using the shape of the chlorophyll fluorescence induction curve (FIC) from a biological monitoring system. Wem-tox values are calculated from the amount of flourescence of contaminated and reference water. Curve fitting is executed to find the representative curve of the raw data of Wem-tox values. Then the curves are digitalized at the same interval to train the neural network model. Taguchi method is used to optimize the neural network model parameters. The optimized model shows a good capacity to figure out the toxicant from FIC.

It is well recognized recently that acoustic emission, which is an elastic wave generated from rapid release of elastic energy in steressed solids, is very useful tool for on-line monitoring of microscopic behavior of deformation of material. In this study, three point bend test was performed to evaluate the microscopic damage progress during the loading and failure mechanism of mortar beam by monitoring the characteristic of AE signal. The relationship between AE characteristic and microscopic failure mechanism is discussed. In addition 2 dimensional AE source location based on triangular method was also done to monitor the intiation and propagation of micro crack around notch tip of mortar beam. It was shown that AE source location was very effective to predict the growth behavior of micro crack in mortar beam specimen.

Outage caused by contaminated insulator on high voltage transmission line and in substation is major concern for utility world-wide. To prevent these outages, it is necessary to develop an automatic salt contamination detecting device which provide the information about contamination level on utility for engineer to meet the emergency in advance. For that purpose, we have been developing an automatic salt contamination detecting device to monitor a salt amount on operating power utility area. In the salt contamination detecting device development, the most important thing is the sensor which can detect a salt amount and the understanding of sensor' s detecting principle. This paper describes the operating principle of the sensor and the experimental results about the detecting of salt amount. The results of this experiment wi1l be useful for detecting the contamination level.

Drilling is one of the most important operations in machining industry and usually the most efficient and economical method of cutting a hole in metal. From automobile parts to aircraft components, almost every manufactured product requires that holes are to be drilled for the purpose of assembly, creation of fluid passages, and so on. It is therefore desirable to monitor drill wear and hole quality changes during the hole drilling process. One important aspect in controlling the drilling process is monitoring drill wear status. A drill-wear monitoring system provides information about drill status. With the information, optimum planning for tool change is possible. And drill-wear monitoring system in needed to evaluated drilled hole quality and the wear of drill. Accordingly, this paper deals with an on-line drill wear monitoring system of the detection of tool wear with the computer vision and the area of the drill flank wear is analyzed quantitatively by the system.

In this paper, we developed the real-time automation program for the immunity test according to the determination of the EUT image, and analyzed the image of standard PC monitor and the monitor image affected by the electromagnetic field. The image change detection algorithm was realized for the real-time determination of the malfunction, and we attempted to obtain the consistent results for the electromagnetic immunity measurement. We showed the possibility to determine the immunity of the PC monitor and other equipment by performing the image change detection of EUT, and the experimental results for the EUT immunity determination of EMS (Electro-Magnetic Susceptibility, IEC 61000-4-3) are also proposed in line with the international standard and domestic trends.

The diagnosis studies of the process of chemical vapor deposition were carried out by using in-situ particle monitor (ISPM) and self-plasma optical emission spectroscopy (SPOES). We used the two kinds of equipments such as the silicon plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition system with silane gas and the borophosphosilicate glass depositon system for monitoring. Using two sensors, we tried to verify the diagnostic and in-situ sensing ability of by-product gases and contaminant particles at the deposition and cleaning steps. The processes were controlled as a function of precess temperature, operating pressure, plasma power, etc. and two sensors were installed at the exhaust line and contiguous with each other. the correlation of data (by-product species and particles) measured by sensors were also investigated.

An integrated in-line oil monitoring detector assigned for continuous in situ monitoring multiple parameters of oil performance for predicting economically optimal oil change intervals and equipment condition control is presented in this study. The detector estimates oil deterioration based on the information about chemical degradation, total contamination, water content of oil and oil temperature. The oil oxidation is estimated by "chromatic ratio", total contamination is measured by the changes in optical intensity of oil in three optical wavebands ("Red", "Green" and "Blue") and water content is evaluated as Relative Saturation of oil by water. The detector is able to monitor oils with low light absorption (hydraulic, transformer, turbine, compressor and etc. oils) as well as oils with rather high light absorption in visible waveband (diesel and etc. oils). In a case study that the detector is applied to a diesel engine oil, it is found that the detector provides good results on oil chemical degradation as well as soot concentration.

In this paper, two types of micro-optic submersion detection systems are proposed and demonstrated. The structures are based on the transmission and reflection of incident light, respectively. Two collimators are separated by 10 mm and installed face to face in straight line. The incident light transmits from one side of collimator to the other through the air, but the optical loss is below 1 dB. On the other hand, when the sensors are submersed into water, most of optical power scattered into water. The systems monitor the dramatical power change to alarm the submersion. Reflection type of sensor system has a Bragg grating at the end of the sensor for back-reflection of sensing signal. This is for simple configuration of systems. The performance of two sensor systems are described in detail.
