  • The heat detector detects heat in the fire and is an important core element of the automatic fire alarm system used generally for every fire prevention objects. The heat detector is distinguished in spot type and spread type and in spot type, there are differential and thermistor types. These heat detectors give a great influence on the loss of people and property according to the sensitivity of response such as operation time and operation temperature in actual fire and in overseas people apply it for the development of products that can be operated in the early stage of fire including certification, quality management, and comparison standard by introducing response time index through the theory of heat balance that considers the heat loss and ventilation tests. In Korea, the response time index is introduced and used in the head of sprinkler products, but it is not applied to the heat detector at present. It is necessary to introduce the response time index that shows the sensitivity of response of the heat detector the installation standard for the heat detector that the response time index is applied should be different according to the fire weight, danger degree of fire, and shape of buildings. Through this study, it tries to help reduce lives and property of people through the swift warning by installing detectors suitable for the building structure.

  • This paper proposes an effective, four-stage smoke detection method based on video that provides emergency response in the event of unexpected hazards in early fire-alarming systems. In the first phase, an approximate median method is used to segment moving regions in the present frame of video. In the second phase, a color segmentation of smoke is performed to select candidate smoke regions from these moving regions. In the third phase, a feature extraction algorithm is used to extract five feature parameters of smoke by analyzing characteristics of the candidate smoke regions such as area randomness and motion of smoke. In the fourth phase, extracted five parameters of smoke are used as an input for a K-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm to identify whether the candidate smoke regions are smoke or non-smoke. Experimental results indicate that the proposed four-stage smoke detection method outperforms other algorithms in terms of smoke detection, providing a low false alarm rate and high reliability in open and large spaces.

  • Currently, Korea is an aging society, and it is expected to enter a super-aging society in about 4 years. Accordingly, many X-ray technologies are being developed. In X-rays, 99% of X-rays are converted into heat energy and 1% into light energy (X-rays). 99% of the thermal energy raises the temperature of the anode and its surroundings, and the cooling system is an important factor as overheating can affect the deterioration of X-ray quality and shortened lifespan. There is a method of forced air cooling using natural convection. Therefore, in this study, when X-rays were taken 5 times, Flow analysis was performed on heat removal according to temperature rise and cooling time for the heat generated at the anode of the X-ray tube (input power 60kW, 75kW, 90kW). Based on one-shot, the most rapid temperature rise section increased by more than 57% to 0.03 seconds, A constant temperature rises from 0.03 seconds to 0.1 seconds, It is judged that the temperature rises by about 8.2% or more at one time. After one-shot cooling, the cooling drops sharply from about 60% to 0.03 seconds, It is judged that the temperature has cooled by more than 86% compared to the temperature before shooting. One-shot is cooled by more than 86% with cooling time after 0.1 seconds, As the input power of the anode increases, the cooling temperature gradually increases. Since the tungsten of the anode target inside the X-ray tube may be damaged by thermal shock caused by a rapid temperature rise, an improvement method for removing thermal energy is required when using a high-input power supply.

  • During the winter season, when electricity usage increases rapidly every year, fires are frequent due to short circuits in aging electrical facilities in multi-use facilities such as traditional markets and jjimjilbangs, apartments, and multi-family houses. Most of the causes of such fires are caused by excessive loads applied to aging wires, causing the wire covering to melt and being transferred to surrounding ignition materials. In this study, we implement a system that measures the overload and overheating of the wire through a composite sensor, detects the toxic gas generated there, and logs it to the server through the gateway. Based on this, we will develop a platform that can predict, alarm and block electric fires in real time through big data analysis, and a simulator that can simulate fire occurrence experiments.

  • There are many accident risks in logging operation of forestry such as struck by felled trees and caught in, under, or between felled trees. These accidents are primarily occurred by not keeping a safe distance between workers. According to the forestry safety instruction, workers are not supposed to go into the safety zone which is a circle with a radius of more 2 times the height of felling tree. However, this rule does not keep because of poor safety consciousness, poor sight and extreme noise of logging operation machines. This problem causes many major accidents every year. To solve this problem, we made forestry safety helmets based on IoT technology. These helmets have functions to make a visual and an acoustic alarm signal when reach the distance between workers within 20 meters. We developed the algorithm to operate the helmet's functions and conducted tests to check the functions. As a result of tests, we assured the normal system operating conditions.

  • The existing equipment with wire communication can expect the stability of data transmission. However, according to increasing a number of DTE (Data Terminal Equipment), wiring work becomes a heavy burden. Restriction to application about portable DTE and the lack of flexibility are another drawback of wire communication. This paper presents the design and implementation of a RF (Radio Frequency) based wireless communication system. The RF based module is designed to the multi communication between DTEs. The RF based module consists of RF circuit and microprocessor. The main properties of RF circuit are maximum 5Kbps transmission rate, maximum 90m transmission distance and 433MHz frequency band. The microprocessor rearrange the data into AHDLC(Advanced High level Data Link Control) format and then instructs RF circuits to transmit/receive the data. The RF module have a wide application field such as fire/security alarm, remote control/measurement etc..

  • 인프라가 필요 없는 특성을 갖고 있어 임시 구성용 네트워크나 군사용 망에서 많이 개발되어온 애드 혹 네트워크는 산악과 같은 고립된 지역에 설치하여 산불과 같은 재난의 조기 경보 시스템에 이용한다면 효과적이다. 그러나 넓은 산악지역을 모두 커버할 수 있는 애드 혹 노드들을 설치 운영하는 것은 경제적으로 불가능하다. 또한 인포스테이션은 전송지연에 민감하지 않는 정보들을 적은 비용으로 효율적으로 전송할 수 있는 시스템이다. 우리는 본 논문에서 동물들에 애드 혹 노드들을 탑재한 이동 애드 혹 네트워크와 인포스테이션을 결합하여 화재와 같은 재난에 조기 대처할 수 있는 재난 조기 경보 시스템을 제안한다. 동물들의 이동성이 노드들간의 연결성을 향상시키므로서, 합리적인 수의 동물 노드로서 원하는 조기 경보의 효과를 만들어 낼 수 있다. 우리는 또한 제안된 시스템의 성능을 수식으로 분석하여 이를 시뮬레이션과 비교해 보았고, 실제 시스템 구축시 필요한 비용을 분석해 보았다. 이는 시스템 구축 시 필요한 파라미터를 제공할 것이다. 이 제안된 시스템을 실제 환경에 적용하면 산악지역에서의 화재등의 재난에 조기대응을 할 수 있을 것이며, 또한 피해를 최소화 할 수 있을 것이다.

  • Monitoring systems are able to report certain events at region of interest(ROI) and to take an appropriate action. From industrial product line full of robots to fire detection, intrusion detection, smart grid application, environmental pollution alarm system, monitoring system has widely used in diverse industry sector. Recently, due to advance of wireless communication technology and availability of low cost sensors, intelligent and/or smart monitoring systems such as sensor networks has been developed. Several deployment methods are introduced to meet various monitoring needs and deployment performance criteria are also summarized to be used to identify weak point and be useful at designing monitoring systems. Both efficiency during deployment and usefulness after the deployment should be assessed. Efficiency factors during deployment are elapsed time, energy required, deployment cost, safety, sensor node failure rate, scalability. Usefulness factors after deployment are ROI coverage, connectivity, uniformity, target density similarity, energy consumption rate per unit time and so on.
