In this paper, we implemented system to detect obstacle in that develop a guidance robot for the visually impaired through sound. We used ultra sonic sensor to detect obstacle. We supposed the algorithm that classifies distance and direction of obstacle using information that produce correct warning negative sign according to direction and distance of obstacle. According to the experiment, a reagent could detect obstacle without sight information.

This Paper is to find out a solution for the full-coverage algorithm requiring the real-time processing such as mobile home service robots and vacuum cleaner robots. Previous methods are used by adopting based grid approach method. They used lots of sensors, a high speed CPU, expensive ranger sensors and huge memory. Besides, most full-coverage algorithms should have a map before obstacle avoidance. However, if a robot able to recognize the tangent vector of obstacles, it is able to bring the same result with less sensors and simplified hardware. Therefore, this study suggests a topological based approach and a local obstacle voidance method using a few of PSD sensors and ultra sonic sensors. The simulation results are presented to prove its applicability.

This paper describes map building for the path planning to avoid obstacles with vision sensor and ultrasonic sensor. We get the 2 dimensional information from the processed images of CCD sensor and 1 dimensional range information from ultrasonic sensor. I proposed a way to generate the map which contains these two kinds of information in the program. And we made the biped robot which have 20 DOF with these sensors and get good experimental result to prove the validity of the proposed method.

Non-uniform minute deformation of a cylinderical workpiece resulted from the heat treatment process prior to the grinding makes it diffeclt to control the approaching feedrate of a grinding wheelto a workpiece optimallywithout on-site detection of the grinding states in the plunge grinding. The 4-stage model of the plunge grinding process is proposed according to the state of contact between grinding wheel and workpiece ; precontact, partial contact, entire contact and spark-out. Despite of being scrious to the precision of workpiece finished, the duration of spark-out is determined empirically. The purpose of this research is to develop a monitoring/control system for saving non- production time and setting the optimal spark-out time based on sensor information in the plunge grinding using AE and ultra sonic sensor.

Detecting acoustic emission (AE) provides an appropriate method to diagonize on-line transformers, since acoustic signal is not influenced by strong electric field. Then AE versus AE signal processing method is investigated. But this processing is difficult that decision of starting point of AE wave with acoustic noise. This problem is sloved by correlation which calculate time interval between two signals eactly. This paper presents a technique locating the eact position of the partial discharge (PD) in a power transformer by the correlation of the AE signals from two ultrasonic sensors. And PD position is displayed on monitor. Laboratory tests confirmed that the proposed method can be used for locating the PD in power transformer.

The purposes of this paper ensure for the economical efficiency, accuracy, and good applications in domestic site set up the power installations. For the efficient conduct of these purposes, there are measured the partial discharge(PD) used by current probe and compared with detected signal of UV sensor. As the results, PD generated about 35% of breakdown voltage in polymer insulator. UV signal due to high voltage in polymer insulator is detected from about 1.7mV at 30kV to about 3mV at 70kV. Signal detected by ultra-sonic is increased at about 75% of breakdown voltage abruptly. It appears that error range is increased in boundary. UV sensor is needed must use from the practical and economical points of view.

In this paper, the superposition of ultrasonic signals which were generated by multi-source in a transformer was presented. For analysis of ultrasonic superposition, V$_{peak-peak}$ and pulse number of ultra-sonic signal were used. As a result, the wave form of ultrasonic superposition was classified into three types ; First type was the wave form whose V$_{peak-peak}$ was increased by the superposition of each signal's V$_{peak-peak}$. Second type was wave form whose V$_{peak-peak}$ was decreased by the superposition of each signal's V$_{peak-peak}$. And the other type was wave form whose peals were two or mere. And V$_{peak-peak}$ of superposed ultrasonic wave wads mostlv increased or decreased and pulse number of supe게osed u1trasonic wave was mostly increased.y increased.

본 논문에서는 초음파 센서를 이용하여 3차원 마우스 시스템을 설계하였다. 마우스에 부착시킨 초음파 발신부와 모니터에 부착시킨 초음파 수신부를 이용하여 마우스와 모니터에 부착된 수신부사이의 거리를 측정한다. 측정한 거리는 무선네트워크를 이용하여 Host PC에 전송하고, Host PC는 측정거리와 위치 추정 알고리즘을 이용하여 마우스의 위치를 추정한다. 최소자승법을 이용하여 위치 추정 알고리즘의 모의실험을 수행하였으며, 모의실험 결과로부터 최소자승법을 3차원 마우스 시스템의 위치추정 알고리즘으로 활용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The traveling wave ultra-sonic motor (TWUSM) is operated through the frictional force between the rotor and the stator. Hence, the contact mechanism should be analyzed to estimate the motor performance. However, the nonlinearity of the contact mechanism of the TWUSM makes it difficult to propose a proper contact model and a characteristic analysis method. To address these problems, a novel contact model is proposed and be termed the cylindrical dynamic contact model (CDCM) in this research. An estimation method of the motor performance is proposed using the CDCM, an analytical method, and a numerical method. The feasibility and usefulness of the proposed characteristic analysis are verified through experimental data.

The remaining life estimation for the aged component is very important because mechanical properties of the compo-nents are degraded with time of service exposure in high temperature etc. The destructive method is widely used for the estimation of material degradation, but it has a difficulty in preparing specimens from in-service industrial facilities. In order to evaluate the feasibility of ultrasonic evaluation method for properties of high temperature materials, 2.25Cr-1Mo steel specimens which were prepared by the isothermal aging heat treatment at 63$0^{\circ}C$ were evaluated by ultra-sonic measurements investigating the change of velocities and attenuation coefficient. In this results, attenuation coefficient was found to be sensitive to material degradation mainly attributed to the change of grain size and the precipitation of impurities in grain boundaries, but velocity was not for all specimens.
