To follow a moving target keeping a certain distance it is essential for a mobile robot to detect the target first and to measure its pose and velocity. This paper proposes a new solution for this problem using the accumulated ultrasonic image which is constructed by accumulating the returned ultrasonic signal along the time axis for a certain number of measurement periods. A moving target is separated by selecting the trajectory whose inclination is different from others in the imag since the inclination of a trajectory represents the relative speed of the target against the mobile robot. The proposed algorithm was implemented on a mobile robot and has shown that the robot follows a moving target successfully.

다수의 초음파 트랜스듀서를 이용한 초음파 위상 배열은 초점제어에 의해 인체 내 종양을 치료하는 목적 등으로 사용되고 있다. 초점제어에 의해 결정된 각 초음파 트랜스듀서 표면음압의 크기와 위상은 각 초음파 트랜스듀서에 인가되는 전압의 크기와 위상을 제어하여 구현 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 초음파 트랜스듀서의 인가전압과 표면음압 사이의 관계를 모델링하고, 요구되는 초음파 트랜스듀서의 표면음압을 생성하기 위한 인가전압을 PWM 기법으로 제어하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법의 타당성은 61개의 초음파 트랜스듀서로 구성된 초음파 위상배열의 초점제어를 예로 들어 시뮬레이션으로 검증하였다.

Recently, the international standard RS-422 serial communication, which was primarily designed for the communications between micro-controllers, has been used as a communication method on the ship. However, as the NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) 2000 standardization progresses recently, a high-speed Ethernet-based communication environment is expected to be an alternative communication method instead of the RS-422 gradually. In addition, the ship's main instrumentation equipment with versatility and convenience is implemented to control devices as monitoring and controlling tools. This paper describes an implementation of wireless ultrasonic anemometer and anemoscope data processing and logger system using PC network, where the control processing equipment such as a separate operational console, data-logger, and indicator is required for the system. For these, the related element technologies to implement ultrasonic anemometer and anemoscope data processing system are expressed as a functional modules, and the NMEA 2000 standard certified data-logger system is implemented without the separate operational console.

Simple signs were usually exchanged as the means of underwater communications. As people recently, need more informations for underwater activities, necessities of underwater communication systems exchanging hunman voice are increased. The purpose of this paper is understanding the ordinary characteristics of underwater communication and investigating the necessary conditions for a good underwater communication system by making a basic communication module. The experiment is achieved by applying AM (Amplitude Modulation) which is mainly used for the underwater communication systems and using common ultrasonic transducers. Ultrasonic transducers usually have narrow bandwidth for transducing electrical energy to mechanical energy. For improvement of sound reconstruction, transducers need more bandwidth which covers voice's frequency range, and goof linearity characteristics in this frequency range. As underwater transmissions have many factors to distort signals. Amplitude Modulation is not a proper way for underwater communications. Using digital signal by sampling human voice should be a good way for this systems, because digital communication simplify transmitting signals.

차량 주행 중에 타이어에서 발생하는 초음파를 이용하여 손상 물질에 의한 타이어의 손상을 검출하는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 손상이 있는 타이어는 회전 주기성이 있는 초음파 신호가 발생하므로 주기성을 검출하기 위해 포락선 검출 전처리 과정을 거친 후 자기상관함수를 사용하였다. 실험에서는 손상된 타이어의 1회전 시간과 자기상관함수를 이용해 구한 주기가 같은 것으로 나타났다. 이로 인해 타이어의 손상 유무를 분별할 수 있는 결과를 도출하였다.

Methods used for exploring marine resources and spaces include positioning a probe under water and then recalling it after a specified time. Hydro-acoustic Releasers are commonly used for positioning and retrieving of such exploration equipment. The most important factor in this kind of system is the reliability for recalling the instruments. The frequently used ultrasonic signal detection method can detect ultrasonic signals using a fixed comparator, but because of increased rates of errors due to outside interferences, information is repetitively acquired. This study presents an effective ultrasonic signal detection algorithm using the characteristics of a resonance and adaptive comparator Combined with the FSK+ASK modulator. As a result, approximately 8.8% of ultrasonic wave communication errors caused by background noise and transmission losses were reduced for effectively detecting ultrasonic waves. Furthermore, the resonance circuit's quality factor was enhanced (Q = 120 to 160). As such, the bias voltage of the transistor (Vb= 3.3 to 6.8V) was increased thereby enhancing the frequency's selectivity.
