In this study, we implemented an unconstraint ECG monitoring system on a chair. Nowadays, modern people spend most of their time sitting on the chair. Therefore, it is necessary to have an unconstraint ECG monitoring system that can be used for a long time. The implemented system can perform measurement even with clothes on and it has great advantage on motion artifacts. A pair of unconstraint electrodes are placed on the back of the chair. Amplifier and filters are designed to remove motion artifacts, The baseline noise and power line noise are filtered and very low level of bio-signal is amplified to give a final measurement. Control unit and wireless transmission unit are implemented. Analog signal is converted into digital signal and transmits biological signal to the PC and the smart phone. Therefore continuous ECG monitoring in daily life is made possible. A comparison experiment between Ag / AgCl electrode and unconstraint electrode is conducted to evaluate the performance of the implemented system. As a result, we confirm our unconstraint system can be used for daily life ECG monitoring.

Recently, the wind power has experienced great attentions and growths among many renewable energy sources. To increase the power generation performance and economic feasibility, the size of wind turbine (WT) is getting bigger and most of wind power plants are being constructed on offshore. Therefore, the maintenance cost is relatively high because boats or helicopters are needed operators to reach the WT. In order to combat this kind of problem, remote monitoring and control system for the WT is needed. In this paper, the small-scale WT monitoring and control system is implemented using wireless sensor network technologies. To do this, sensor devices are installed to measure and send the WT status and control device is installed to receive control message for specific operation. The WT is managed by control center through graphic user interface (GUI) based monitoring and control software. Also, smart device based web-program is implemented to make the remote monitoring of the WT possible even though operators are not in control room.

In this paper, we propose an Raspberry Pi2-based smart home security monitoring system. Proposed home security monitoring system was configured using a relatively tractable main processor raspberry pi2, ultrasonic sensors, and PIR sensors. In addition, The picamera is compatible with raspberry pi2 was connected to the servo motor. And by driving the attacker's location the video was recording. The Web server stores data of the recorded image and the sensor, and provides a web page to enable the monitoring at all remote locations. When examining efficiency of proposed home security monitoring system it was found that proposed system is easier to be made than existing home security system and is able to minimize the blind spot of the camera by using servo motor and is efficient and convenient and stable as it enables a user to handle an error in person and it uses reliable data.

The Internet of Things (IoT) technology, a key growth engine of the 4th industrial revolution, has grown to a stage where it can autonomously communicate with each other and process data according to space and circumstances. Accordingly, the IT infrastructure becomes increasingly complex and the importance of the monitoring field for maintaining the system stably is increasing. Monitoring technology has been used in the past, but there is a need to find a flexible monitoring system that can respond to the rapidly changing ICT technology. This paper conducts research on designing and testing an open source-based Prometheus monitoring system. We builds a simple infrastructure based on IoT devices and collects data about devices through the Exporter. Prometheus collects data based on pull and then integrates into one dashboard using Grafana and visualizes data to monitor device information.

The main function of station is supplying the convenient environment to the passengers as a vehicle waiting place. Smart station is networked based on the station which has been combined with additional functions like effective operation and real time monitoring and power control. Smart station network for the operation has been concerning about the communication security and the data transmission distance between vehicle and station. Smart station can be useful for the ubiquitous data communication place where the people can use their personal communication instruments very easily and quickly. This is the smart station.

In this work, new smart phone based moving target detection is proposed. In order to implement the task, methods of real time image transmission from network camera, motion detecting algorithm and its effective implementation are also addressed. The network camera transfers image data by MJPEG format which contains various information such as data and IP address, and the smart phone separates the image data received through a WiFi module. Later, the image data is converted to a Bitmap image format, and with the help of the embedded OpenCV library on a smart phone and algorithm, it was found that the moving object was identified effectively in terms of real time monitoring and detection.

In this study, the method of the finite element modeling for free vibration control of beam-type smart structures with bonded plate-type piezoelectric sensors and actuators is proposed. Constitutive equations for the direct piezoelectric effect and converse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric materials are considered. By using the variational principle, the equations of motion for the smart beam finite element are derived, The proposed 2-node beam finite element is an isoparametric element based on Timoshenko beam theory. Therefore, by analyzing beam-type smart structures with smart beam finite elements, it is possible to simulate the control of the structural behavior by applying voltages to piezoelectric actuators and monitoring of the structural behavior by sensing voltages of piezoelectric sensors. By using the smart beam finite element and constant-gain feed back control scheme, the formulation of the free vibration control for the beam structures with bonded plate-type piezoelectric sensors and actuators is proposed.

In People usually think that smart materials and smart structures have not been developed until recent years. But those kinds of sensors have already been used for sensing damage in a variety of materials and structures. Two typical examples are piezoelectric materials (e.g., PZT) and electric strain gauges. Load cell is an example that utilizes the piezoelectric property to measure the change in physical quantities occurred by applied loads, while strain gauges are used to measure the deformation of compressive and tension members. The feasibility of using smart materials is realized for a monitoring technology when those sensors are used to monitor damages at inside or outsider of the structures. In this study, a fundamental study on the development of self diagnostic smart concrete using PZT, and unsaturated polyester electric resistance sensor.
