고전의 관현악기에서부터 현대의 각종 전자악기까지, 인류는 그 문화와 시대의 변화에 따라 다양한 형태의 악기를 개발하고 활용하였다. 최근에는 전기전자 기술의 발달로 다양한 센서와 프로그램을 활용해서 여러 가지 음색과 효과를 내는 악기가 개발되고 있다. 그 중에서 사람의 움직임을 직접 감지해서 음악적 도구로 활용하는 기술이 주목 받고 있다. 이를 위해 터치 센서(touch sensor), 비젼 센서(vision sensor), 자기장 센서(magnetic sensor), 초음파 센서(ultrasonic sensor) 등이 응용되고 있다. 그러나 지금까지의 센서 기술로는 사람의 움직임과 관련된 위치, 속도, 가속도 등에 대한 정보를 직접 추출하기가 어렵고, 구현된 시스템도 공간의 제약을 받거나 혹은 구현된 부피가 크거나 복잡한 구성형태를 지니고 있는 문제점이 있었다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 사람의 움직임과 관련된 가속도 정보를 직접 감지해서 새로운 형태의 악기로 활용될 수 있는 시스템을 연구하고 개발하였다. 이를 위해 6개의 가속도 정보를 처리하는 기술과 DSP(Digital Signal Processor) 활용 기술, Max/MSP 활용 기술이 응용 되었으며, 소형의 시스템을 개발하기 위해 시그널 컨디셔닝(signal conditioning) 회로와 DSP 보드를 자체 개발하였다. 실험을 통해 사람의 움직임과 관련된 각종 정보가 적절한 소프트웨어의 활용으로 다양한 음색의 변화는 물론 음높이, 음량의 변화까지도 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였고, 새로운 형태의 악기로써 무대 공연이나 노래방 등에 폭넓게 활용될 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

Innovation becomes norm rather than exception in today's business, and accordingly firms are working on how to make their employees to work smarter using information systems and technologies. Smart work demands virtual collaboration and cooperation among team members in different places and different time. Sharing of knowledge among team members in these innovative activities are critical in every sense for the successful performance. This study explores the antecedents of knowledge sharing among team members in team-based innovation activities. Five factors (pleasure of knowledge sharing, self-efficacy, management support, rewards, and system usage) are identified through extant review of literature and an instrument is adopted and validated from previous studies. The instrument is adminitered against 138 individuals in and across 54 teams in a telecommunication firm. Except self efficacy, all the paths in the proposed research model is confirmed with different levels of relational coefficients towards the levels of knowledge sharing and innovation activities in teams. Surprisingly, findings indicate that intrinsic pleasure of sharing is most critical than management support, organizational rewards or system usage. This study fills the research gap in team management. Findings provide important implications for managing teams in coming virtual and smart environment.

A majority of infrastructures has been deteriorated over time. Therefore, it is very important to verify the quality of construction, and the level of structural deterioration in existing structures, to ensure their safety and functionality. Many researchers have studied non-destructive testing (NDT) methods to identify structural problems in existing structures. The impact echo technique is one of the widely used NDT techniques. The impact echo technique has several inherent problems, including the difficulties in P-wave velocity evaluation due to inhomogeneous concrete properties, deterioration of evaluation accuracy where multiple reflection boundaries exist, and the influence of the receiver location in evaluating the thickness of the tested structures. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to propose an enhanced impact echo technique that can reduce the aforementioned problems and develop a Virtual Instrument for the application via a thickness evaluation technique which has same technical background to find deterioration in concrete structures. In the proposed impact echo technique, transfer function from dual channel system analysis is used, and coherence is improved to achieve reliable data. Also an averaged signal -ensemble- is used to achieve more reliable results. From the analysis of transfer function, the thickness is effectively identified.

현대 사회는 사용자의 Needs가 중요시 되는 사회이다. 따라서 모든 생산 활동은 사용자의 욕구와 감성에 부합하는 제품의 생산에 초점이 맞춰져 있다. 특히, 자동차 분야에서는 사용자의 욕구와 인간 공학적인 측면을 얼마나 잘 반영하는 차를 만들어 내는가가 점차 중요한 요소로서 부각되어지고 있다. 하지만 이들에 대한 Usability test를 위해 실제 Prototyping을 하는데는 많은 액수의 비용이 들게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 비용적 측면과 재사용성 측면을 고려하여, 사용자의 감성에 부합하는 자동차를 만들기 위해 필요한 Usability test를 위해 Virtual reality 기법을 적용한 Simulator(VISVEC : Virtual Simulator for Vehicle Cockpit)를 설계하였다. 그 중, 본 Simulator 상에서 Instrument panel을 중심으로 HMD를 이용한 display시 보다 정확한 Interaction을 위해 Virtual Environment 내에서 보다 빠른 Display 화면 갱신과 사용자의 Object 인지에 영향을 끼치는 Level of detail의 설계에 관해 연구하였다.

Automatic guided vehicle in the factory has an important role to advance the flexible manufacturing system. In this paper, we propose a novel object-transportation control algorithm of cooperative AGV systems to apply decentralized control to multiple AGV systems. Each AGV system is under nonholonomic constraints and conveys a common object-transportation in a horizontal plain. Moreover it is shown that cooperative robot systems ensure stability and the velocities of augmented systems convergence to a scaled multiple of each desired velocity field for cooperative AGV systems. Finally, the application of proposed virtual passivity-based decentralized control algorithm via system augmentation is applied to trace a circle. Finally, the simulation and experimental results for the object-transportation by two AGV systems illustrates the validity of the proposed virtual-passivity decentralized control algorithm.

Since instrument landing system currently operating in most airports is operating in single-pass, it is not possible to accommodate a large number of aircraft. A satellite navigation system GBAS using a GNSS has been developed to solve these limitation when air traffic increases. GBAS is better than the ILS in position accuracy and capable of landing through multiple paths rather than a single path, the aircraft can perform varied landing procedures. In this paper, after we established a virtual ILS procedures at Taean Airfield in which ILS installation is impossible due to environmental requirements and airspace restrictions, flight test was performed by Cessna Skyhawk 172 to compare the virtual ILS procedures and curved approach procedure and the advantage of curved approach was confirmed.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accessibility of the Cakewalk TTS-1 for the screen reader users. An evaluation was performed by testing the accessibility of a editing virtual instrument that is a part of MIDI production based on the NCS(National Competency Standards) by using the TTS-1 and the Sense Reader. The results of this study are as follows. The TTS-1 itself can't provide enough accessibility for the screen users to do an above task. But the screen reader users can perform the above tasks if they use extended access functions like Sense Reader's Mouse Pointer function, Position Memory function and MIDI Control Signal function. Even if they use the extended access function, there are functions that is difficult to access. To solve this problem, several suggestions are proposed.

In this paper, we propose a musical instrument conversion based music ensemble application for smartphone. If we try to create ensemble music using virtual instruments provided by the conventional smartphone application, we should know how to play each instrument. In addition, it is impossible to play the instrument in a natural way if the smartphone screen cannot show the entire part of the instrument. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose a smartphone application that records music sound by playing an acoustic guitar, converts it to other instruments' sound, applies effect to the converted sound, and creates a final ensemble music after mixing all sounds. Using the proposed application, the user can create ensemble music only by playing the acoustic guitar.

This study is a study on System On Chip (SOC) that implements virtual engine sound in electric vehicles without engines, and realizes vivid engine sound by combining Adaptive Difference PCM (ADPCM) method and frequency modulation method for satisfaction of driver's needs and safety of pedestrians. In addition, by proposing an electronic sound synthesis algorithm applying Musical Instrument Didital Interface (MIDI), an engine sound synthesis method and a constitutive model of an engine sound generation system are presented. In order to satisfy both drivers and pedestrians, this study uses Controller Area Network (CAN) communication to receive information such as Revolution Per Minute (RPM), vehicle speed, accelerator pedal depressed amount, torque, etc., transmitted according to the driver's driving habits, and then modulates the frequency according to the appropriate preset parameters We implemented an interaction algorithm that accurately reflects the intention of the system and driver by using interpolation for the system, ADPCM algorithm for reducing the amount of information, and MIDI format information for making engine sound easier.
