This paper will read about a multichannel frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar sensor with switching transmit (TX) antennas is developed at W-band. To achieve a high angular resolution, a uniform linear array consisting of 5 switching-TX and 12 receive (RX) antennas is employed with the digital beamforming technique. The overall radar front-end module comprises a W-band transceiver and TX/RX antennas. A multichannel transceiver module consists of 5 up-conversion and 12 down-conversion channels, where one of the TX channels is sequentially switched ON. For developing transmitter, we developed an HPA (high power amplified) MMIC chip for W-band radar system and fabricated a transmitter module using this chip. In order to develop the W-band transmitter, we analyzed the important antenna transition structure from HPA MMIC line to W/G (Waveguide)antenna via M/S(microstrip) and fabricated it with 5 transmission channels. As a result, the output power of the transmitter was within 1 dB of the error range after analysis and measurement under normal temperature and environmental conditions.

In this paper, we proposed ultrasonic radar module and fixed module for the 2D indoor map building and from each of the modules, we can see the possibilities, limitations and considerations. And finally show the result of building actual 2D indoor map from the modules. Recently there are lots of works for the building indoor map by spotlight on the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). And the LiDAR, ultrasonic, camera sensors are usually used for this work. Especially the LiDAR sensor have a higher resolution and wider detection range more than the ultrasonic sensor, but also there are limitation in the size of module, higher cost, much more throughput of processing data, and weaker to use in various indoor environment noises. So from these reasons, in this paper we could verify that proposed modules and schemes have a enough performance to build the 2D indoor map instead of using LiDAR and camera sensor with minimum number of ultrasonic sensors and less throughput of processing data.

This paper proposes Kalman Filter-based relative navigation algorithms for proximity tasks such as rendezvous/docking/cluster-operation of spacecraft using PSD Sensors and Infrared Beacon Modules. Numerical simulations are performed for comparative analysis of the performance of each relative-navigation technique. Based on the operation principle and optical modeling of the PSD Sensor and the Infrared Beacon Module used in the relative navigation algorithm, a measurement model for the Kalman filter is constructed. The Extended Kalman Filter(EKF) and the Unscented Kalman Filter(UKF) are used as probabilistic relative navigation based on measurement fusion to utilize kinematics and dynamics information on translational and rotation motions of satellites. Relative position and relative attitude estimation performance of two filters is compared. Especially, through the simulation of various scenarios, performance changes are also investigated depending on the number of PSD Sensors and IR Beacons in target and chaser satellites.

The construction industry has achieved many benefits through the mechanization of the construction. However, due to accidents for construction machinery, the mortality rate has increased rapidly. Thus, the objective of this study is to develop of tilt modules for object detection system of excavator. The modified laser sensor that increase the efficiency of object detection system was tested. Based on these results, tilt modules were developed through the conceptual design and detailed design. Then, this tilt modules can be applied to the safety management system of excavator and using this tilt modules will be able to improve the efficiency of the system.

This study was carried out to develop a small-sized biosensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for the rapid identification of insecticide residues for food safety. The SPR biosensor module consists of a single 770 nm-light emitting diodes (LED) light source, several optical lenses for transferring light, a hemisphere sensor chip, photo detector, A/D converter, power source, and software for signal processing using a computer. Except for the computer, the size and weight of the sensor module are 150 (L)$\times$70 (W)$\times$120 (H) mm and 828 g, respectively. Validation and application procedures were designed to assess refractive index analysis, affinity properties, sensitivity, linearity, limits of detection, and robustness which includes an analysis of baseline stability and reproducibility of ligand immobilization using carbamate (carbofuran and carbaryl) and organophosphate (cadusafos, ethoprofos, and chlorpyrifos) insecticide residues. With direct binding analysis, insecticide residues were detected at less than the minimum 0.01 ppm and analyzed in less than 100 sec with a good linear relationship. Based on these results, we find that the binding interaction with active target groups in enzymes using the miniaturized SPR biosensor could detect low concentrations which satisfy the maximum residue limits for pesticide tolerance in Korea, Japan, and the USA.

In the era of information society, IT industry has been developed very much. New technology has made appearance in citizens' lives. IOT (Internet of Things) has grown up the most rapidly in IT industry. Kevin Ashiton, MIT specialist, said, "Loading of FRIS and other sensors shall build Internet of things." Internet of things is said to let things have sensor and communication module and to exchange information and communicate each other. In this study, Internet of things has been applied to flowerpot to build automatic flowerpot control system that turns fan ON and supplies water depending upon temperature and moisture. Users are difficult to cognize temperature and humidity of flower pot correctly. In this study, an experiment obtained correct value of temperature and humidity to build control system. At the performance test of flower pot, commands turned ON depending upon temperature and humidity. Control system should be added to control water supply quantity and time objectively according to servo motor control. Purpose of further study was to control flower pot by remote system in connection with smart phone application. An application control can make not only temperature and humidity statistics but also server depending upon users' needs to turn fan ON and take actions and to control flower pot.

Outbreaks of highly contagious livestock diseases can cause direct and indirect economic impacts such as lower productivity of cattle farms, fall in tourism in damaged areas and countries, and decline in exports. They also incur tremendous social costs associated with disease elimination and restoration work. Thus, it is essential to prevent livestock diseases through monitoring and prediction efforts. Currently, however, it is still difficult to provide accurate predictive information regarding occurrences of livestock diseases, because existing cattle health monitoring or forecasting systems are only limited to monitor environmental conditions of livestock barns and check activities of cattle by using a pedometer or thermal image. In this paper, we present a biosensor-based cattle health monitoring system capable of collecting bio-signals of farm animals in an effective way. For the presented monitoring system, we design an integrated monitoring device consisting of a sensing module to measure bio-signals of cattle such as the heartbeat, the breath rate and the momentum, as well as a Zigbee module designed to transmit the biometric data based on Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). We verify the validity of the monitoring system by the comparison of the correlations of designed device with a commercial ECG equipment through analyzing the R-peak of measured signals.

This paper suggests a specific model that could efficiently improve the interaction and the interface between MES(Manufacturing Execution System) server and POP(Point Of Production) Terminal through RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) system in Automative Module Assembly Line. The proposed model shows that the new method by RFID can more efficiently perform to receive work order informations and transmit work performances, compared with the current approach by proximity sensor. As a result of the certain test among the MES server, RFID system, PLC(Programmable Logic controller) and POP terminal, it is noted in case of the automatic control by RFID that the effects of proposed model are as follows; (a) While the processing time per truck for carrying by the current method was 10 minutes, the processing time by the new method was 1 minutes. (b) While the error rate by the current method was 20 %, the error rate by the new method was 1 %.
