Sherman Alexie deals with reservation realism in The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven and Smoke Signals. By reservation realism he means American Indian traditions and its problems like alcoholism, violence, unemployment, depression, and poverty on the reservation. It cannot be denied that the traditional ceremonies have played significant roles in making it possible for American Indians to keep their own ethnic identities. It is, however, also true that the same traditions have prevented them from embracing modernity. Alexie believes that it is high time that Indians living on the reservation discarded the old tradition of racial exclusiveness for a gradual crossing of cultural borders. What is seriously needed on today's reservation is not the historic figure of Crazy Horse, a stoic and masculine warrior in the late 19th century, but Sacagawea, a Shoshoni Indian who helped Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore the American West in the early 19th century. When asked to be more specific about cross cultural examples, Alexie proposes successful Indian doctors and lawyers as role models on the reservation.

천장아래에 형성된 연기흐름을 대상으로 Laser 평면광과 열전대를 이용하여 연기선단의 위치를 추적하였다. 새로운 실험방법을 이용하여 연기선단의 도착순간을 열전대의 온도신호로부터 판단하는 종래의 직관적 기준을 평가하였다. 이러한 실험방법에서 사용된 Laser 평면광은 연기를 가시화 하기 위한 종래의 여러방법에 비교하여 뚜렷한 장점들이 있음을 입증하였다.

A violet smoke hand grenade(KM18) is used to generate signals. The grenade is considered to fail when its smoke emission time is longer than the specified one so that its smoke concentration becomes lighter. Accelerated degradation test for the grenade was performed, and then failure in smoke emission time was reproduced from the test. Stress for the degradation test was selected as temperature/humidity from the pre-test results. Degraded data of emission time from the accelerated test were analyzed through applying a distibution-based degradation model. Then, Peck Model was applied to predict the storage life under field conditions. In addition, the predicted storage life was compared with that of ASRP(Ammunition Stockpile Reliability Program).

A white smoke hand grenade, KM8 is used to make smoke screen in order to provide visual field interceptions or signals. The grenade fails when its time to emit smoke is longer than the specified emission time so that the smoke concentration becomes lighter. This paper considered failure in smoke emission time, and evaluated its storage lifetime. The main objective of this paper is to modify the present specification limits of smoke emission time for the efficient process control in manufacturing, through analyzing effect of its specification change on the storage lifetime, based on the lifetime evaluation results. Accelerated degradation test was performed and then failure in smoke emission time was reproduced from the test. And estimated storage lifetimes from the accelerated test results was compared to evaluated lifetimes of grenades using the ASRP data. Past process testing results of the grenade in manufacturing were analyzed in this paper. Then, each storage lifetime for the specifications, ${\pm}3$ and ${\pm}5$ in seconds, extended from the current specification in manufacturing were estimated using the past testing results, and compared to one another.

본 논문에서는 적외선과 가시광선 레이저를 이용하여 터널, 공항 등의 넓은 공간에서의 화재를 감지하기 위하여 연기검출 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 연기검출 시스템은 적외선 레이저 송수신기와 원거리에서 적외선 레이저 송수신 정합을 편리하게 하기 위한 가시광선 레이저 그리고 화재 경보를 전파하기 위한 Zigbee 무선통신 네트워크로 구성된다. 적외선 레이저 송신기와 수신기 사이에 연기가 발생하면 수신 신호의 크기가 기준값보다 작아지기는 것을 확인하고 연기를 검출한다. 적외선 레이저 송신기와 수신기 사이의 거리가 먼 경우에는 송신 측의 작은 변화에도 수신측에서는 상당히 큰 변이가 생겨 신호를 정합하는데 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서 광역 연기검출을 위하여 적외선 레이저를 이용하고 효율적인 정합을 위하여 가시광선을 이용하는 방법을 제안한다. 그리고 연기가 감지되면 Zigbee 무선네트워크를 통하여 경보를 전달하는 연기검출 시스템을 개발하였다.

화재감지기는 화재를 조기에 감지하여 관계인에 통보함으로써 자산보호 및 인명안전에 중요한 역할을 한다. 따라서 화재를 조기에 탐지할 수 있는 성능과 비화재보를 발생하지 않는 신뢰성이 중요하다. 최근 공동주택 오피스텔 숙박시설 노유자시설 의료시설 등과 같이 취침, 숙박, 입원 등 이와 유사한 용도로 사용되는 거실에는 조기화재 감지를 위한 연기감지기를 설치하도록 국가 화재안전기준이 개정되어 연기감지기의 적용이 증가되고 있다. 반면 현재 비화재보를 예방하기 위한 연구가 부족하다. 본 연구는 아날로그 광전식 연기감지기의 순간적으로 발생되는 먼지 등으로 인해 발생되는 비화재보를 예방하기 위한 알고리즘 개선과 감지기의 자기보상기능을 통해 감지기의 오염과 화재신호를 구분할 수 있도록 개선하였다. 본 연구를 통해 최근 수요가 증가하는 아날로그 광전식 연기감지기의 비화재보 개선으로 제품의 신뢰성을 확보하여 비화재보로 인한 경제적 손실을 예방할 것으로 기대된다.

This study aims to provide a fundamental material for identifying fire and no-fire signals using the detection signal characteristics of IoT-based fire-detection systems. Unlike analog automatic fire-detection equipment, IoT-based fire-detection systems employ wireless digital communication and are connected to a server. If a detection signal exceeds a threshold value, the measured values are saved to a server within seconds. This study was conducted with the detection data saved from seven fire accidents that took place in traditional markets from 2020 to 2021, in addition to 233 fire alarm data that have been saved in the K institute from 2016 to 2020. The saved values demonstrated variable and continuous VC-Signals. Additionally, we discovered that the detection signals of two fire accidents in the K institution had a VC-Signal. In the 233 fire alarms that took place over the span of 5 years, 31% of smoke alarms and 30% of temperature alarms demonstrated a VC-Signal. Therefore, if we selectively recognize VC-Signals as fire signals, we can reduce about 70% of false alarms.

연구목적:본 연구에서는 지하공동구 내 실시간 탈출 유도를 위한 비주얼 시그널 표출 광색에 대하여 연기발생 상태의 휘도측정 분석 결과에 대하여 고찰하고자 한다. 연구방법: 대기 중의 빛의 산란 특성 및 시인성 이론에 근거한 광학적 기술을 분석하고 탈출 유도를 위한 비주얼 시그널 표출 장치 시작품을 통하여 유도기능으로서의 요소기술을 분류하고자 한다. 연구결과: 연기 발생 조건 상태에서 수행한 실험에서 적색, 녹색, 황색 순으로 휘도비가 낮고 가시성이 좋은 것으로 결과가 도출되었다. 단, 본 결과는 연색성이 고려되는 일반 조명과는 다른 결과로 신호용, 감지용 등의 시그널에 국한된다. 결론: 신호용, 감지용 비주얼 시그널의 표출 광색에 대한 연기 발생 이벤트 상황에서의 휘도 측정 결과와 선행 연구에서 실시된 선호도 조사 결과를 모두 반영하여 결론을 도출하였다. 연기발생 이벤트 발생 시 적색 또는 녹색의 광색으로 탈출 유도 비주얼 시그널을 적용하는 것이 좋을 것으로 판단된다.

This paper introduced a novel multi-gas sensor detector with simple signal processing algorithm. This device was evaluated by investigating the characteristics of combustible materials using fire-generated smell and smoke. Plural sensors including TGS821, TGS2442, and TGS260X were equipped to detect carbon monoxide, hydrogen gas, and gaseous air contaminants which exist in cigarette smoke, respectively. Signal processing algorithm based on the difference of response times in fire-generated gases was implemented with early and accurately fire detection from multiple gas sensing signals. All fire experiments were performed in a virtual fire chamber. The cigarette, cotton fiber, hair, polyester fiber, nylon fiber, paper, and bread were used as a combustible material. This analyzing software and sensor controlling algorithm were embedded into 8-bit micro-controller. Also the detected multiple gas sensor signals were simultaneously transferred to the personnel computer. The results showed that the air pollution detecting sensor could be used as an efficient sensor for a fire detector which showed high sensitivity in volatile organic compounds. The proposed detecting algorithm may give more information to us compared to the conventional method for determining a threshold value. A fire detecting device with a multi-sensor is likely to be a practical and commercial technology, which can be used for domestic and office environment as well as has a comparatively low cost and high efficiency compared to the conventional device.

This paper considers the ability of counting and positioning multi-targets by using a mobile UWB radar device. After a background subtraction process, distinguishing between clutters and human body signals, the position of targets will be computed using weighted Gaussian mixture methods. While computer vision offers many advantages, it has limited performance in poor visibility conditions (e.g., at night, haze, fog or smoke). UWB radar can provide a complementary technology for detecting and tracking humans, particularly in poor visibility or through-wall conditions. As we know, for 2D measurement, one method is the use of at least two receiver antennas. Another method is the use of one mobile radar receiver. This paper tried to investigate the position detection of the stationary human body using the movement of one UWB radar module.
