용접부 내에 존재하는 결함의 형태, 위치, 크기 등의 정보를 정량적으로 파악하기 위하여 초음파 탐상 검사가 많이 활용되는데, 최근 들어 용접부의 결함 탐상을 위해, 검사과정을 기계적 스캐너로 자동화한 자동 초음파 탐상 시스템이 많은 산업 분야에서 활용되고 있고, 특히 배관 용접부의 건전성 평가를 위한 비파괴안전진단에서 그 활용 폭이 커지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 배관 용접부의 자동 초음파 검사를 위한 알고리즘 구현과 결함 영상을 보정하여 주는 결함영상 처리 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다. 적용된 기법으로는 초음파 A-Scan 압축 알고리즘, Synthetic Aperture Focusing 알고리즘, 결함영상증폭 알고리즘과 이와 관련된 소프트웨어 설계 및 구현에 대하여 논한다.

Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is commonly used in manufacturing plant, warehouse, distribution center, and terminal. AGV is self-driven vehicle used to transport material between workstations in the shop floor without the help of an operator, and AGV includes a material transfer system located on the top and driving system at the bottom to move the vehicle as desired. For navigation, AGV mostly uses lane paths, signal paths or signal beacons. Various predominant sensors are also used in the AGV. However, in the conventional AGV, there is a problem of not turning or damaging nearby objects or AGV in a narrow space. In this paper, a new driving system is proposed to move the vehicle in a narrow space. In the proposed driving system, two sets of the combined steering-drive unit are adopted to solve the above problem. A prototype of AGV with the new driving system is developed for the comparative analysis with the conventional AGV. In addition, the experimental result shows the improved performance of the new driving system in the maximum speed, braking distance and positioning precision tests.

This paper presents a fully automated stand-alone irrigation system with GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. Solar energy is utilized to power the system and it is aimed to conserve water by reducing water losses. The system is based on a DC water pump that draws energy from solar panels along with automated water flow control using a moisture sensor. It is also fitted with alert and protection system that consists of an ultrasonic sensor and GSM messages sender that transmits signals showing the levels of the water in the reservoir and the battery charge. The control system is designed to stop the water pump from pumping water either when the battery level drops to equal or less than 10% of its full charge, or when the water level becomes less than 10 cm high in the reservoir. The experimental results revealed that the system is appropriate to use in remote areas with water scarcity and away from the national grid.

본 논문에서는 자동으로 궤도를 결정하고, 신뢰성을 판정한 후 임무계획, 위성추적, 위성위치 표시에 사용하도록 갱신하며, 안테나 추적을 위해 필요한 여러 가지 형태의 궤도데이터 파일을 생성하는 ‘자동 궤도운용 시스템 (KGS automated Operational Orbit Processing System, KOOPS)'의 개발 내용 및 실제 운용 결과를 기술하였다. 개발된 본 시스템은 다양한 형태의 궤도추적 데이터를 처리할 수 있으며, 각 위성 시스템에 따라 필요한 다양한 전처리 및 후처리 프로세스들을 각 위성 별로 개별적으로 설정할 수 있기 때문에 여러 기의 서로 다른 임무를 가진 “다중, 복합” 위성 궤도운용 시스템으로 적용이 가능하다. 아리랑 1호 및 아리랑 2호의 추적 및 임무계획을 위한 비행역학 시스템으로써 적용되어 운용한 결과, 임무운용의 효율성 및 안정성을 크게 높이고, 인력 소요를 대폭 줄이는 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 시스템의 개발 과정과 실제 적용을 통해 얻은 경험은 향후 보다 효율적이고 자동화된 “통합지향형 범용” 비행역학 시스템 개발에 직접 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

자율주행시스템은 자율주행 센서, 판단 및 제어 알고리즘 등을 기반으로 스스로 자율주행할 수 있는 기능을 갖추고 있다. 자율주행의 안전성은 도로 네트워크의 운영 상태와 관련성이 높고 도로 인프라와의 협력이 필요하다. 자율주행의 안전한 운행을 위해서는 지속적으로 도로와 교통 조건이 적합한지를 모니터링 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 자율주행시스템의 ODD (Operational Design Domain) 특성에 따라 선정된 모니터링 항목을 관리할 수 있는 체계를 구축하기 위한 노드와 링크 체계를 제시하였다. 확장성을 고려하여 기존의 ITS 표준 노드링크 체계를 기반으로 하였으며, 모니터링 대상을 노드와 링크로 표출하는 방안을 제시하였다. 위험도를 5단계로 구분하고 관리하는 방안과 최적경로 탐색 및 통제 시 노드와 링크의 정보를 활용하는 방안을 제시하였다. 세종시를 대상으로 제시된 노드와 링크체계를 기반으로 한 시스템구축 사례를 소개하였다.

This paper describes the application of discrete event systems theory to the design of an automated laboratory system. Current automated laboratory systems typically consist of several interacting processes that must be carefully sequenced to avoid any possible process conflicts. Discrete Event Systems (DES) theory and Supervisory Control Theory (SCT) can be applied together as effective methods of modeling the system dynamics and designing supervisory controllers to precisely sequence the many processes that such systems might involve. Classical approaches to supervisory controller design tend to result in complex controller structures that are difficult to implement, maintain, and upgrade. In this paper, a new approach to designing supervisory controllers for automated laboratory systems is introduced. This new approach uses a modular controller structure that is easier to implement, maintain, and upgrade, and deals with "state explosion" issues in a novel and efficient way.

This study presents the direction of data triggers and elements to be recorded in automated vehicles in the future in relation to the event data recorder (EDR) and data storage system for automated driving (DSSAD). It does not distinguish between the EDR and DSSAD, but suggests data triggers and elements in preparation for overall automated vehicle accidents and dangerous situations. To propose, the current status of discussions on EDR/DSSAD internationally and the case of investigating accidents with automated vehicles under temporary driving licenses in Korea were analyzed. Based on the analysis, the direction of data triggers and elements of the EDR/DSSAD of automated vehicles were presented.

In dentistry. RadioVisioGraphy was introduced as a first electronic dental x-ray imaging modality in 1989. Thereafter. many types of direct digital radiographic system have been produced in the last decade. They are based either on charge-coupled device(CCD) or on storage phosphor technology. In addition. new types of digital radiographic system using amorphous selenium. image intensifier etc. are under development. Advantages of digital radiographic system are elimination of chemical processing, reduction in radiation dose. image processing, computer storage. electronic transfer of images and so on. Image processing includes image enhancement. image reconstruction. digital subtraction, etc. Especially digital subtraction and reconstruction can be applied in many aspects of clinical practice and research. Electronic transfer of images enables filmless dental hospital and teleradiology/teledentistry system. Since the first image management and communications system(IMACS) for dentomaxillofacial radiology was reported in 1992. IMACS in dental hospital has been increasing. Meanwhile. researches about computer-assisted diagnosis, such as structural analysis of bone trabecular patterns of mandible. feature extraction, automated identification of normal landmarks on cephalometric radiograph and automated image analysis for caries or periodontitis. have been performed actively in the last decade. Further developments in digital radiographic imaging modalities. image transmission system. imaging processing and automated analysis software will change the traditional clinical dental practice in the 21st century.

In steel making plant, sampling system for raw material such as iron ore, limestone is necessary for quality control purpose. For the sake of efficiency and productivity, automation of the sampling system is highly desirable. From technical standpoint, the development of the automated system requires multi-disciplinary domain knowledge such as mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, information technology and computer engineering. Up to present time, the development has been mainly carried out by a single domain expert with project manager. The automated system developed in this way caused problems in the final system. This paper suggests a systems engineering approach to the development of automation for raw material sampling plant via a tailored process called Plant Systems Engineering (PSE) Process based on ISO/IEC 15288. Through the PSE process, we could derive right requirements and architecture of the Systems Of Interest (SOI), and we were convinced that the PSE Process can be applied to many other Plant Systems.
