A laborer always watched a process of production carefully but defective manufactures were inspected after press process. These inspections made a waste of human power and defective manufactures could make a serious damage of press mold. Therefore, AE(Acoustic Emission) system was introduced to prevention of the damage of the press molds, to a real time detection of defective manufactures and to save human power. AE system was introduced to solve this problem which is a detecting defective manufacture on real time and to prevent the damage of the press mold. In this research we get acoustic emission signal in accordance with weight and processing method of press by using AE sensor, Preamplifier, AE board signal board which occurs press processing and it analyzed various signal through using CMD8 software on the time. From the result, we found that the intensity and shape of the signal were changed according to the weight and processing type of the press. By using this special algorithm, it can judge the acoustic signal which occurs from press on real time.

In this research, an experimental study is presented to check the possibilities of offshore structures monitoring using AE techniques. The underwater transducer and preamplifier are fabricated. And, it is proved that this unit can be used for the detection of AE in offshore structures. Wave propagation studies have shown that supplementary attenuations due to seawater are significantly reducing the detection range of the sensors. It excludes the possibility of offshore structures monitoring with a small number of sensors. We conclude that AE waves would be correctly detected for a path of about 3m. Tubular joints have been tested in air and underwater using simulated elastic wave. Ability of AE techniques to detect and locate cracks early in their evolution has been demonstrated. Several parameters of AE generation have been set in evidence. It has also been shown that crack development goes with an increase of AE parameter. Conclusively, it is shown that AE techniques can provide practical alternatives to present methods being used for inspection of deep-water offshore structures undergoing structural degradation due to fatigue crack growth.

A suspended membrane micro fluidic heat flux sensor that is able to measure the heat flow rate was designed and fabricated by a complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor-compatible process. The combination of a thirty-junction gold and nickel thermoelectric sensor with an ultralow noise preamplifier, low pass filter, and lock-in amp has enabled the resolution of 50 nW power and provides the sensitivity of $11.4\;mV/{\mu}W$. The heater modulation method was used to eliminate low frequency noises from sensor output. It is measured with various heat flux fluid of DI-water to test as micro fluidic application. In order to estimate the heat generation of samples from the output measurement of a micro fluidic heat-flux sensor, a methodology for modeling and simulating electro-thermal behavior in the micro fluidic heat-flux sensor with integrated electronic circuit is presented and validated. The electro-thermal model was constructed by using system dynamics, particularly the bond graph. The electro-thermal system model in which the thermal and the electrical domain are coupled expresses the heat generation of samples converts thermal input to electrical output. The proposed electro-thermal system model shows good agreement with measured output voltage response in transient state and steady-state.

We demonstrate a repeatless transmission of 2.5 Gbps digital signal over 98 km opticla filbers using optical transmitter and optcial receiver which are designed and implemented using commercially available devices. The optical transmitter is realized by using a distributed feedback(DFB) laser. Temperature of the laser is thermoelectrically stabilized and the output optical power is also stabilized by using negative feedback. The output power of the transmitter is 0 dBm. The optical receiver consists of an InGaAs avalanche photodiode, a preamplifier. an automatic gain control amplifier, and a clock/data regenerator. We find an optimum decision threshold that gives the best receiver sensitivity form the measured V curve. The best sensitivity is -35.5dBm( BER-1*10S010T, PRBS=2S023T -1 ) and the overload power is -9 dBm. Finally, we achieve error free optical transmission with 98 km optical fibers. The exinction ration penalty of 2 dB. the chromatic dispersion penalty of 1 dB, and the total power penalty of 3.0 dB are measured. These results satisfy CCITT recommendation.

To investigate the underground structure of shallow water, Han-river near Yangsou-Ri, high resolution hydroacoustic measurements were carried out for the engineering design of railroad bridge. The acoustic source was a Boomer with an energy of 90 to 280J and in a frequency range up to about 16KHz. The reflected signals were received by using both traditional hydrophones(passive element) and a specially devised receiver unit(active element) mainly composed of piezofilms and preamplifier. They are connected to the "SUMMIT" data acquisition system(DMT-GeoTec company), where the sampling interval was set to 1/32㎳. The source position was continuously monitored by a precision DGPS system whose positioning accuracy was on the order of loom. For the quality control purposes, two different source-receiver geometries were taken. That is to say, the measurements were repeated along the profile everytime depending on the different source energy(175J, 280J), the receiving elements(passive, active) and two different source-receiver geometries. It was shown that the data resolution derived from a proper arrangement with the active hydrophone could be greatly enhanced and hence the corresponding profile section caused by the regular data processing system "FOCUS" accounted excellently for the underground formation below the shallow water.w the shallow water.

We present a passively Q-switched monolithic Er:Yb:glass microchip laser developed in our lab. The microchip laser can produce pulses at 1535 nm of the 'eye-safe' wavelengths with the pulse energy of 50 uJ and the pulse width of 4-6 ns. Using the laser we also designed and developed a pulsed Er:Yb:glass microchip laser rangefinder. Expressions for background and signal power, noise, and signal-to-noise ratio are reviewed. A computer simulation was used to optimize laser power, receiver aperture, and preamplifier bandwidth for the efficient system design of the laser rangefinder. Experimental results are presented to compare with the theory.

The turbine flowmeter is selected for high precision and reproducibility at the time of flow rate measurement but causes various uncertainty factors of measurement in the difference between the standard environmental condition at calibration and the environmental condition at the site. Also, a reliable interpolation method is required for use in sections other than calibrated measurement values. Therefore, in this paper, in order to improve the reliability of the flow rate measurement, we designed and manufactured a device that accurately measures the output signal of the turbine flowmeter, interpolates the value of the calibrated result value, and corrects the temperature change in real time We confirmed the reliability of the measurement at the site to carry out the performance verification.

Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the noninvasive method to diagnose osteoporosis disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue. Many global companies and research groups have developed the various DXA detectors using a direct photon-counting detector such as a cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) sensor. However, this approach using CZT sensor has some drawback such as the limitation of scalability by high cost and the loss of efficiency due to the requirement of a thin detector. In this study, a SiPM based DXA system was developed and its performance evaluated experimentally. The DXA detector was composed of a SiPM sensor coupled with a single LYSO scintillation crystal (3 × 3 × 2 ㎣). The prototype DXA detector was mounted on the dedicated front-end circuit consisting of a voltage-sensitive preamplifier, pulse shaping amplifier and constant fraction discriminator (CFD) circuit. The SiPM based DXA detector showed the 34% (at 59 keV) energy resolution with good BMD accuracy. The proposed SiPM based DXA detector showed the performance comparable to the conventional DXA detector based on CZT.
