In order to prevent drink-driving by detecting concentration of alcohol from driver's exhale breath, twenty chemical sensors fabricated. The one of purposes for sensor array which consists of those sensors is to discriminate between target gas(alcohol) and interference gases($CH_3CH_2OH$, CO, NOx, Toluene, and Xylene). Wilks's lambda was presented to achieve above purpose and optimal sensors were selected using the method. In this paper, step-wise sensor elimination based on Euclidean distance was investigated for selecting optimal sensors and compared with a result of Wilks's lambda method. The selectivity and sensitivity of sensor array were used for comparing performance of sensor array as a result of two methods. The data acquired from selected sensor were analyzed by pattern analysis methods, principal component analysis and Sammon's mapping to analyze cluster tendency in the low space (2D). The sensor array by stepwise sensor elimination method had a better sensitivity and selectivity compared to a result of Wilks's lambda method.

The paper proposes a hierarchical fault detection method for the high voltage equipment using a microphone array which detects the location of fault and the thermal imaging and CCD cameras which verifies the fault and stores the image, respectively. There are partial arc discharges on the faulty insulators, which generates a specific pattern of sound. Detecting the signal using the microphone array, the location of the faulty insulator can be estimated. The 6th band-pass filter was applied to remove noise signal from wind or external influence. When the mobile robot carries the thermal and CCD cameras to the possible place of the fault insulator, the fault insulators or power transmission wires can be detected by the thermal images, which are caused by the aging or natural erosion. Finally, the CCD camera captures the image of the fault insulator for the record. The detection scheme of fault location using the microphone array and the thermal images have been proved to be effective through the real experiments. As a result of this research, it becomes possible to use a mobile robot with the integrated sensors to detect the fault insulators instead of a human being.

The patch antennas with an array of pins with excellent radiation characteristics are investigated for several substrate thicknesses. The patch length of a pin array patch antenna for the maximum suppression of radiation in the horizontal plane decreases as the substrate thickness increases. The radiation in the horizontal plane of a pin array patch antenna is very small compared to that of a conventional patch antenna. The increase of forward radiation and the decrease of backward radiation of a pin array patch are obtained compared to those of a conventional patch antenna. The half-power beamwidth of E-plane radiation pattern of a pin array patch antenna is narrow compared to that of a conventional patch antenna so that the directivity is improved.

Holographic diffuser(HD) layer was demonstrated to be located inside LC cell for a transmissive LCD of TFT-array on Color Filter structure. Master pattern of this layer was generated by holographic method and this pattern was replicated by the stamping of the master pattern on UV resin. Combined with a compensation film, TN-mode LCD with this layer showed improved viewing angle characteristics, especially along the up-down direction.

Recently, mechanically beam-steering microstrip patch array antenna using MEMS technology is developed and tested. In this paper as an application of developed antenna, new radiation pattern synthesis method far beam-steering antenna without phase-shifter is proposed, and applied to synthesis of desired beam shape. Niching genetic algorithm using Restricted Competition Selection (RCS) is used for radiation pattern optimization. This approach can be applied to design of array antenna for meet EMC standard and through proposed method specific beam shapes can be synthesized.

In commercial digital-cameras, color-filter filters light according to wavelength range of color filter array (CFA) and the filtered intensities contain color information of light. Then, output data of CFA is transformed to final rendered image through demosaicing process. In image processing of digital-camera, the quality of the final rendered image is affected by optical cross talk of CFA, kind of CFA pattern etc. Basically, pattern of CFA plays important role in image quality of final image rendered by digital-camera. Therefore, an evaluation system capable of quantitatively evaluating CFA is needed. This paper proposes a novel evaluation system using existing and proposed image metrics for evaluating CFAs of digital-camera. Proposed CFA evaluation system consist of color difference in CIELAB and S-CIELAB, Structure SImilarity (SSIM), MTF50, moire starting point (MSP), and subjective preference (SP). MSP and SP are newly designed for the proposed evaluation system. Proposed evaluation system is expressed in polar coordinates to analyze the characteristics of CFA objectively and intuitively. Through simulations, we confirmed that proposed CFA evaluation system can objectively assess performance of developed CFAs.

Planar array of acoustic transducer is normally used in a sonar system. Acoustic radiation makes beam pattern in underwater uses. The main source of the beam pattern is due to the transducer array. Therefore, estimation of the acoustic radiated power is necessary to predict the performance and efficiency of the transducer. As an example of the acoustic radiation power, nine acoustic transducers mounted to a rigid infinite baffle are considered in a theoretical model. Each piston's acoustic radiation consists of self- and mutual-radiation impedances. Total radiation impedances and acoustic radiation power of the transducers are extracted using on the theory of an equivalent electric circuit. The theoretical results reveal that acoustic radiation power of the transducer depends on the mutual coupling effects.

In this paper, an array antenna for LOS datalink for mounting UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) of low-probability of intercept is presented. For low RCS, radome was designed by conformal form, and other components were inserted into the UAV. The antenna of the transmitter and receiver are each composed of 12×12 array antennas, and include a beam steering function by controlling the phase of the unit element for the Uni-directional pattern and the Bi-directional pattern. As a result of the measurement of the manufactured antenna, it was confirmed that all the required specifications were met, and the installing possibility of the UAV platform on low-probability of intercept in the future was confirmed.
