A six-beam accelerometer with self-compensated off-axis sensitivity was fabricated onthe selectively diffused (111)-oriented n/n$^{+}$/n silicon substrates by a unique porous silicon micromachining technique, which has self-stip characteristics and highly seletive formation of porous silicon layer during anodic reaction. Also, the characteristics of the fabricated accelerometer were investigated. The sensitivity of the acceleormeter added up outputs of three bridges through a summing circuit was 0.68 mV/g and the nonlinearity was less than 2% of the full scale output. The measured first resonant frequency was 4.236 kHz. When the outputs of three bridges were compared to summing output of bridges obtained through summing circuit, the normal output for Z-axis acceleration exhibited the same value s summing outputs of three bridges without reduction of sensitivity and thus the sensitivity decrease due to additional beam was compensated. Although a maximum off-axis sensitivity in one bridge of the accelerometer showed 17% of normal sensitivity, the off axis sensitivity obtained from summing output of three bridges decreased to 1.0%. Therefore, the self-elimination of off-axis sensitivity can be simply realized by obtaining the output of the sensor through summing circuit.t.

펌프의 성능을 개선하기 위해서는 펌프의 회전수 정보를 획득할 필요성이 있으나, 일반적으로 연료펌프는 연료탱크 안에 내장되어 그 회전수를 측정하기에 어려움이 있다. 연료 펌프의 회전수는 크게 가속도 센서를 이용하는 방법과 전류센서를 이용하는 두 가지 방법이 있다. 가속도 센서를 이용하는 방법은 연료 펌프의 진동수를 측정하여 회전수로 계산하는 방법이며, 전류 센서를 이용하는 방법은 펌프모터의 주기적 전압방출 특성을 이용하여 회전수를 계산하는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 전류센서를 가속도 센서와 동시에 장착하여 다양한 측정 조건에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 결론적으로 전류센서로도 연료펌프의 회전수를 정밀하게 측정하는 것이 가능하였으며 특히 낮은 회전수 영역에서는 가속도센서 대비 강건한 계측특성을 보였다. 오차 1% 이내의 회전수를 측정하기위하여, 가속도센서는 데이터 저장간격 0.5Hz 이하의 설정이 필요하였으며, 전류센서는 데이터 저장간격 2.0Hz이하의 설정이 필요하였다.

A micromachined silicon accelerometer capable of surviving and detecting very high accelerations(up to 200,000 times the gravitational acceleration) is necessary for a high impact accelerometer for earth-penetration weapons applications. We adopted as a reference model a piezoresistive type silicon micromachined high-shock accelerometer with a bonded hinge structure and performed structural analyses such as stress, modal, and transient dynamic responses and sensor sensitivity simulation for the selected device using piezoresistive-structural coupled-field analysis. In addition, structural optimization was introduced to improve the performances of the accelerometer against the initial design of the reference model. The design objective here was to maximize the sensor sensitivity subject to a set of design constraints on the impact endurance of the structure, dynamic characteristics, the fundamental frequency and the transverse sensitivities by changing the dimensions of the width, sensing beams, and hinges which have significant effects on the performances. Through the optimization, we could increase the sensor sensitivity by more than 70% from the initial value of $0.267{\mu}V/G$ satisfying all the imposed design constraints. The suggested simulation and optimization have been proved very successful to design high impact microaccelerometers and therefore can be easily applied to develop and improve other piezoresistive type sensors and actuators.

대부분의 한국인은 오랜 좌식생활 때문에 팔자 걸음이나 안짱 걸음을 걷는 경우가 많고, 오늘날에는 보행 중 스마트폰 사용으로 인하여 올바른 자세의 보행이 더욱 어려워지고 있다. 본 연구는 현대 한국인의 걸음 실태를 쉽게 분석하고 사용자로 하여금 이를 알 수 있도록 하는 간편한 시스템을 구현하는 데 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 보행 유형을 분류하기 위하여 3축 가속도 센서와 족압 감지 시스템을 활용한 보행 모니터링 시스템을 개발하였다. 개발된 시스템은 걸을 때 발생하는 발의 압력(foot pressure)과, 상반신의 기울어진 정도를 각각 압력 센서(pressure sensor)와 3축 가속도계(3-axis accelerometer)를 통해 걷는 자세의 데이터를 취득할 수 있다. 이를 통해 몇 가지 보행 유형과 센서 데이터 간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과 상체 자세 판별에는 통계적 모수인 제곱평균제곱근과 표준편차가, 보행 유행 판별에는 k-최근접 이웃 알고리즘이 적합하다는 사실을 확인하였다. 고안된 시스템은 저비용의 의학, 체육 분야에 응용될 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 위성 항법 시스템(GPS)의 불연속성과 수신 음영 지역에서의 속도 추적 한계를 극복하기 위하여 가속도계와 GPS를 이용한 이동 물체의 속도를 추정하는 시스템을 제안한다. 시스템은 이동 물체에 부착된 GPS 수신기와 가속도계의 항법 정보를 입력받아 물체의 진동과 충격 그리고 가속도계 자체의 오차에 기인한 잡음을 보정하고, 이를 이용하여 GPS 음영 지역에서 이동 물체의 속도 추정과 GPS 항법 정보의 불연속성을 보완할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 본 시스템에 사용하기 위해 GPS와 가속도계를 이용한 칼만 필터 구조를 설계하고, GPS 수신 음영 지역에서도 물체의 속도를 추적할 수 있음을 검증하여, 향후 자동항법장치 등 텔레매틱스 산업에서의 응용 가능성을 제시하고자 한다.

This paper proposes a threshold-based fall recognition algorithm to discriminate between falls and activities of daily living (ADL) using a tri-axial accelerometer and a bi-axial gyroscope sensor mounted on the upper sternum. The experiment was executed ten times according to the proposed experimental protocol. The output signals of the tri-axial accelerometer and the bi-axial gyroscope were measured during eight falls and eleven ADL action sequences. The threshold values of the signal vector magnitude (SVM_Acc), angular velocity (${\omega}_{res}$), and angular variation (${\theta}_{res}$) parameter were calculated using MATLAB. From the preliminary study, three thresholds (TH1, TH2, and TH3) were set so that the falls could be distinguished from ADL. When the parameter SVM_Acc is greater than 2.5 g (TH1), ${\omega}_{res}$ is greater than 1.75 rad/s (TH2), and ${\theta}_{res}$ is greater than 0.385 rad (TH3), these action sequences are recognized as falls. If at least one or more of these conditions is not satisfied, the sequence is classified as ADL.

Kodály hand signs are symbols that intuitively represent pitch and note names based on the shape and height of the hand. They are an excellent tool that can be easily expressed using the human body, making them highly engaging for children who are new to music. Traditional hand signs help beginners easily understand pitch and significantly aid in music learning and performance. However, Kodály hand signs have distinctive features, such as the ability to indicate key changes or chords using both hands and to clearly represent accidentals. These features enable the effective use of Kodály hand signs. In this paper, we aim to investigate the changes in recognition rates according to the complexity of scales by creating a device for learning Kodály hand signs, teaching simple Do-Re-Mi scales, and then gradually increasing the complexity of the scales and teaching complex scales and children's songs (such as "May Had A Little Lamb"). The learning device utilizes accelerometer and bending sensors. The accelerometer detects the tilt of the hand, while the bending sensor detects the degree of bending in the fingers. The utilized accelerometer is a 6-axis accelerometer that can also measure angular velocity, ensuring accurate data collection. The learning and performance evaluation of the Kodály learning device were conducted using Python.

Objectives: This study aimed to reveal the gait characteristics of each Sasang constitution by examining the differences in gait analysis indicators using a 3-axis accelerometer. Methods: Ninety-one participants were classified through the TS-QSCD (Two-Step Questionnaire for Sasang Constitution Diagnosis) method and gait analysis was performed using a 3-Axis Accelerometer (G-WALK. BTS Bioengineering, Italy). Gait analysis in returning to the 6-meter turnaround point and 6-minute walking test were performed. The differences in the gait analysis index values were analyzed between each constitution. Results: The gait analysis of 91 subjects (37 Taeumin, 37 Soyangin, and 17 Soeumin), showed that the percent stride length/height in the Soyangin subjects was significantly higher than that of the Taeeumin and Soeuminin subjects in the spatiotemporal walking variables (p<0.05). Stride length also showed the widest tendency in the Soyangin subjects (p=0.05). In the kinesiological analysis, the range of pelvic obliquity angles in the Soeumin subjects was significantly wider than that of the Taeumin and Soyangin subjects (p<0.05). In the six-minute walking test, the Soyangin subjects walked the farthest at 309.41±35.23 m (p=0.064). Conclusions: In a comparison of the gait characteristics for each Sasang constitution using a three-dimensional accelerometer, the stride width of the Soyangin subjects was the widest compared to the Taeeumin, and Soeumin subjects, and Soyangin's walking speed showed a faster tendency than that of the Taeeumin and Soeumin subjects.
