  • 무선 센서 네트워크 기술은 다양한 e-비즈니스 환경을 가능케 하는 차세대 기반 기술이다. 무선 센서 네트워크가 갖춰야 할 중요한 특징 중 하나는 에너지 효율성이다. 무선 센서 네트워크의 대표적인 국제표준인 IEEE 802.15.4는 에너지 효율을 위해 비컨 가능 모드를 제공하고 있다. 그러나 메쉬 토폴로지 같은 멀티 홉 네트워크에서 비컨 가능 모드를 이용하면 비컨끼리 충돌하여 센서 노드가 동기화하지 못할 수도 있다. 동기화하지 못한 노드는 통신에 참여할 수 없으므로 네트워크 내의 다른 노드에도 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 메쉬 토폴로지를 이용하는 무선 센서 네트워크에서도 비컨 가능 모드를 이용하여 에너지를 효율적으로 사용할 수 있도록 하는 비컨 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법을 이용하여 노드들이 비활성 구간에는 전원을 꺼서 에너지를 절약할 수 있게 하고, 비컨간의 충돌을 방지할 수 있다. 제안하는 기법의 성능평가를 위해 QualNet 시뮬레이터를 사용하여 구현하였으며, 센서 네트워크의 대표적인 응용인 모니터링 상황을 가정하여 실험하였다. 실험을 통해 제안하는 기법을 이용하여 메쉬 토폴로지를 이용하는 네트워크에서도 에너지를 효율적으로 사용할 수 있음을 증명하였다.

  • Hydrogen peroxide is a radiolysis product of water formed under gamma-irradiation; therefore, its reliable detection is crucial in the nuclear industry for spent fuel management and coolant chemistry. This study proposes an electrochemical sensor for hydrogen peroxide detection. Cysteamine (CYST), gold nanoparticles (GNPs), and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were used in the modification of a gold electrode for fabricating Au/CYST/GNP/HRP sensor. Each modification step of the electrode was investigated through electrochemical and physical methods. The sensor exhibited strong sensitivity and stability for the detection and measurement of hydrogen peroxide with a linear range of 1-9 mM. In addition, the Michaelis-Menten kinetic equation was applied to predict the reaction curve, and a quantitative method to define the dynamic range is suggested. The sensor is highly sensitive to H2O2 and can be applied as an electrochemical H2O2-sensor in the nuclear industry.

  • In this paper, we describes the information-theoretic approaches to sensor selection and sensor placement in sensor net­works for target localization and tracking. We have developed a sensor selection heuristic to activate the most informative candidate sensor for collaborative target localization and tracking. The fusion of the observation by the selected sensor with the prior target location distribution yields nearly the greatest reduction of the entropy of the expected posterior target location distribution. Our sensor selection heuristic is computationally less complex and thus more suitable to sensor networks with moderate computing power than the mutual information sensor selection criteria. We have also developed a method to compute the posterior target location distribution with the minimum entropy that could be achieved by the fusion of observations of the sensor network with a given deployment geometry. We have found that the covariance matrix of the posterior target location distribution with the minimum entropy is consistent with the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRB) of the target location estimate. Using the minimum entropy of the posterior target location distribution, we have characterized the effect of the sensor placement geometry on the localization accuracy.

  • In this article, a UV sensor that is an appropriate tool for fire detection has been designed and constructed. The structure of this UV sensor is an air-filled single-wire detector that is able to operate under normal air condition. A reflective CsI photocathode is installed at the end of the sensor chamber to generate photoelectrons in the ion chamber. An electric current is produced by accelerating photoelectrons to the anode in the electric field. The detector is able to measure the intensity of the incident UV rays whenever the current is sufficiently high. Therefore, the sensitivity coefficient of this sensor is found to be $7.67{\times}10^{-6}V/photons/sec$.

  • The growth and microwave plasma assisted nitrogen doping of ZnSe by low pressure organometallic vapor phase epitaxy(OMVPE) has been investigated in a vertical downflow reactor equipped with a laser interferometer for in-situ growth rate measurements. Particular emphasis is placed on understanding growth characteristics of $H_{2}Se$ and the new adduct source dimethylzinc:triethyllamine($DMZn:NEt_{3}$) as compared with those obtained with $H_{2}Se$ and DMZn. At lower temperatures ($<300^{\circ}C$) and pressures(<30Torr), growth rates are higher with the adduct source and the surface morphology is improved relative to films synthesized with DMZn. Hall measurements and photoluminescence spectra of the grown films demonstrate that DMZn and $DMZn:NEt_{3}$ produce material with comparable electronic and optical properties. Microwave plasma decomposition of ammonia is investigated as a possible approach to increasing nitrogen incorporation in ZnSe and photoluminescence spectra are compared to those realized with conventional ammonia doping.

  • This paper purposed that verify the validity of Petri Net method for control progressive increase of system complexity, before extend the realized single robot system to multi-robot system. An autonomous mobile robot(AMR) needs decision making, motion control, path planning, tracking a path, obstacle avoidance, and sensor fusion, to complete its task. An AMR integrates and operates these technics through a consistent command system. An error in a command hierarchy which is like duplication or omission of a control command hierarchy for each module results in serious problems. This paper minimizes the error by modeling each module and whole system using Petri Net graphical representation and applies it to the exploration task of an AMR

  • Experts have designed popular and successful model architectures, which, however, were not the optimal option for different scenarios. Despite the remarkable performances achieved by deep neural networks, manually designed networks for classification tasks are the backbone of object detection. One major challenge is the ImageNet pre-training of the search space representation; moreover, the searched network incurs huge computational cost. Therefore, to overcome the obstacle of the pre-training process, we introduce a network adaptation technique using a pre-trained backbone model tested on ImageNet. The adaptation method can efficiently adapt the manually designed network on ImageNet to the new object-detection task. Neural architecture search (NAS) is adopted to adapt the architecture of the network. The adaptation is conducted on the MobileNetV2 network. The proposed NAS is tested using SSDLite detector. The results demonstrate increased performance compared to existing network architecture in terms of search cost, total number of adder arithmetics (Madds), and mean Average Precision(mAP). The total computational cost of the proposed NAS is much less than that of the State Of The Art (SOTA) NAS method.

  • 본 논문에서는 기존 HubNet 기반의 참여 모의실험의 한계를 극복하기 위한 능동형 참여 모의실험 (Active Participatory Simulation; APS) 학습 구조를 제시하고, 이를 위한 고고보도용 NetLogo 확장 모듈을 자바로 개발한다. NetLogo는 복잡하게 보이는 과학현상의 이면에 존재하는 복잡계를 모델링할 수 있는 에이전트 기반 모델링 (Agent Based Modeling) 언어다. 이것과 HubNet을 이용하면 모의실험이 수행되는 동안 학생은 하나의 에이전트로서 이 실험에 참여할 수 있다. 하지만 HubNet에서는 서버만이 외부장치와 연결된다. 따라서 고고보드를 이용한 환경 데이터 및 사용자 입력을 다수의 클라이언트를 통하여 수신할 수 없어 이중초점 모델링 기반 학습이 불가능하다. 이에 클라이언트에 연결된 고고보드의 입력 정보를 TCP/IP 소켓을 이용하여 수신하고 보드를 제어하는 자바 확장 모듈을 개발한다. 또한 HubNet과 이 확장 모듈을 사용한 APS 학습 구조 모델링 방법과 이를 위한 NetLogo 프로그래밍을 소개한다. 마지막으로 다양한 APS 학습 구조에 따른 예시를 제시하고 응답처리지연 시간 관점에서 평가하여 과학분야에 활용될 수 있는 방안을 모색한다.

  • Objective : The thromboembolic events during neuroendovascular therapy (NET) are the major complications of concern that can be occasionally fatal. The thrombotic occlusion of the guide catheter for NET is thought to be the risk of the thromboembolic events. We have developed an idea for inventing the monitoring system of the continuous irrigation through the guide catheter. We herein present a unique invention of the guide catheter irrigation monitoring device. Methods : We have developed ideas for preventing the thrombotic occlusion of the guide catheter. In order to design a convenient device working in the practical use, we have consulted and shared the ideas with the electrical engineers about putting the invention. Results : The guide catheter irrigation monitoring device (GCIMD) consisted of three parts of optical sensor, main body and electric adapter. In brief, the basic principles of working of the GCIMD are as follows. The optical sensor is attached to the dripping chamber of the line to irrigation solution. The main body had the small light and speaker to make an alarm sounds. The sensor monitors the dripping of flush solution. If the dripping stops more than three seconds, a warning alarm has been activated. So, the operating physicians can concentrate and check the guide catheter irrigation. After the use of the GCIMD, there was no major thromboembolic complication in conjunction with the thrombotic occlusion of the guide catheter in our institute. Conclusion : We have developed a brilliant invention of the GCIMD for NET.

  • 센서네트워크 중에는 센서노드들이 넓은 지역에 걸쳐 정해진 위치에 산재되어야 하는 경우가 있다. 이런 경우 센서노드들을 interconnect하기 위한 최소개수의 연결노드들을 추가하는 문제가 대두되며, 이는 The Minimum number of Steiner Points라는 추상화된 문제로 귀결된다. 이 문제는 NP-hard 문제이므로, 본 논문에서는 문제가 내포하는 기하학적인 성질을 이용하여 연결노드의 최소개수에 근접하는 방안을 제시한다. 센서네트워크에서 노드의 개수를 줄임으로써 네트워크 내부에서 오가는 메시지의 교환량이 대폭 감소하게 된다.
