This paper presents the measurement and correction method of PCB alignment errors for PCB screen printer. Electronic equipment is getting smaller and yet must satisfy high performance standard. Therefore, there is a great demand for PCB with high density. However conventional PCB screen printer doesn't have enough accuracy to accommodate the demand for high-resolution circuit pattern and high-density mounting capacity of electronic chips. It is because the alignment errors of PCB occur when it is loaded to the screen printer. Therefore, this study focuses on the development of the system which is able to measure and correct alignment errors with high-accuracy. An automatic optical inspection part measures the PCB alignment errors using machine vision, and the high-accuracy 3-axis stage makes correction for these errors. This system used two CCD cameras to get images of two fiducial marks of PCB. The centers of fiducial marks are obtained by using moment, gradient method. The first method is calculating the centroid by using first moment of blob, and the latter method is calculating the center of the circle whose equation is obtained by curve-fitting the boundaries of fiducial mark. The operating system used to implement the whole set-up is carried in Window 98 (or NT) environment. Finally we implemented this system to PCB screen printer.

This paper presents a gas measurement system for deciding hole positions on a PU middle-sole mold from computed gas amount. The optimal number of holes and their positions on the shoe mold are decided from statistical experiment results to overcome the problem of excessive expenses in gas vent exchange. This paper also describes a gas vent exchange mechanism using computer vision system. The gas hole detecting process is based on computer vision algorithms represented as a simple Pattern Matching. The experimental result showed us that the system was useful to calculate the number of holes and their positions on the shoes mold.

In this paper we propose a new conceptual slave clock system in which remotely located clock is synchronized to the reference clock by intermediation of the satellite time, show a probability of adoption to real network by experiments. This new proposed method has lots of structural advantages over the existing methods because all of the node clocks can be maintained with the same hierarchical quality. The measurement results show that the accuracy of the experimental slave clock system can be kept within a few parts in 1012 and that the MTIE (Maximum Time Interval Error) meets the ITU-T Recommendation G.811 for the primary reference clock A prototype system having fully automatic operational functions has been realized, and it is expected to be commercially used as a node clock for synchronization in the digital communication network in the near future.

In this paper we propose a new conceptual system for a network clock in which all node clocks are simultaneously synchronized to the national standard by intermediation parameter of satellite time. Experiments have shown the possibility of its adoption by real networks. The new proposed method has various structural benefits, in particular all node clocks can be kept at the same hierarchical quality in contrast to the existing method. The measurement results show that the accuracy of the experimental slave clock system can be kept within a few parts In 1012 and the MTIE (Maximum Time Interval Error) sufficiently meets ITU-T G.811 for the primary reference clock. A prototype system with fully automatic operational functions has been realized at present and is expected to be directly used for communication network synchronization in the near future.

Several studies have been conducted on monitoring system and automatic measuring instruments to prevent slope failure in advance in Korea and overseas. However, these studies have quite complex structure. Since most of the measurement systems are installed on the slope surface, the researches are carried on the measurement system that detects sign of slope collapse in advance and alerts are still unsatisfactory. In this study, slope collapse experiments were carried out to understand the slope failure mechanism according to rainfall conditions. The water content and displacement behavior at the early stage of the slope failure were analyzed through the measurement of the ground displacement and water content. The results of this study can be used by local government as a basic data for the design of slope failure alarm system to evacuate residents in case of slope failure or landslide due to heavy rainfall.

The previous MCC's have the demerits of high cost and much manhour for rework because they are impossible for the standardization of products and have many manual connections. The customers require the products which can operate in connection with SCADA system by digitalizing the functions of the current MCC's and are systematized with capability of remote control. To solve these disadvantages and requirements, we developed the Electronic Motor Control System according to starting type for applying to fields based on this. This system has the various functions such as protection, measurement, and communication. Using these functions, it can monitor motor status through communication with the upper system and define the circuit for lower connection cost according to starting type and shorter manufacture period by program. The development of this product results in establishment of competitive structure with domestic competition and perfect automatic monitoring through linkage with SCADA system. In addition, it provides the comparable dominancy of receiving on orders in switch gear and adaptability to change of MCC market in Japan and Europe.

The Holographic Particle Velocimetry system can be a promising optical tool for the measurements of three dimensional particle velocities. In this study, diffused illumination holographic system to measure the sizes and 3D velocities of moving particles based on automatic image processing was developed. First of all basic optical systems for pulse laser recording, continuous laser reconstruction, and image acquisition, were constructed. To determine the position of particles in the optical axis, new three auto-focusing parameters(AEP), namely, Correlation Coefficient, Sharpness Index, and Depth Intensity were introduced and verified. The developed system was applied to spray droplets to validate the capability of the system. Three dimensional positions of particles viewed from two sides were decided using AFP and then 3D velocities of Particles were extracted by particle tracking algorithm. Comparison of measurement results of sizes and 3D velocities of particles with those obtained by laser instrument, PDPA, showed good consistency of the developed holographic system.

Recently, there have been many attempts to develop BCI (brain computer interface) based on EEG (electroencephalogram). Measurement and analysis of EEG evoked by particular stimulation is important for the design of brain wave pattern and interface of BCI. The purpose of this study is to develop a general-purpose system that measures subject's reaction time after audio-visual stimulation which can work together with any other biosignal measurement systems. The entire system is divided into four modules, which are stimulation signal generation, reaction time measurement, evoked potential measurement and synchronization. Stimulation signal generation module was implemented by means of Flash. Measurement of the reaction time (the period between the answer request and the subject reaction) was achieved by self-made microcontroller system. EEG measurement was performed using the ready-made hardware and software without any modification. Synchronization of all modules was achieved by, first, the black-and-white signals on the stimulation screen synchronized with the problem presentation and the answer request, second, the photodetectors sensing the signals. The proposed method offers easy design of purpose-specific system only by adding simple modules (reaction time measurement, synchronization) to the ready-made stimulation and EEG system, and therefore, it is expected to accelerate the researches requiring the measurement of evoked response and reaction time.

As the flood damage on small streams increase due to the increase in frequency of extreme climate events, the need to measure hydraulic data of them has increased for disaster risk management. National Disaster Management Institute, Ministry of Interior and Safety develops CADMT, a CCTV-based automatic discharge measurement technology, and operates pilot small streams to verify its performance and develop disaster risk management technology. The research selects two small streams such as the Neungmac and the Jungsunpil streams to develop the Nomograph by using the 4-Parameter Logistic method using only the observed rainfall data from the Automatic Weather System operated by the Korea Meteorological Agency closest to the small streams and discharge data collected by using the CADMT. To evaluate developed Nomograph, the research forecasts floods discharges in each small stream and compares the result with the observed discharges. As a result of the evaluations, the forecasted value is found to represent the observed value well, so if more accurate observed data are collected and the Nomograph based on it is developed in the future, the high-accuracy flood prediction and warning will be possible.
