Gaze detection is to find out the position on a monitor screen where a user is looking at, using the image processing and computer vision technology, We developed a computer interface system using the gaze detection technology, This system enables a user to control the computer system without using their hands. So this system will help the handicapped to use a computer and is also useful for the man whose hands are busy doing another job, especially in tasks in factory. For the practical use, command signal like mouse clicking is necessary and we used eye winking to give this command signal to the system.

An amperometric ascorbic acid selective sensor utilizing the transfer reaction of proton liberated from the dissociation of ascorbic acid in aqueous solution across an elliptic micro-hole water/organic gel interface is demonstrated. This redox inactive sensing platform offers an alternative way for the detection of ascorbic acid to avoid a fouling effect which is one of the major concerns in redox based sensing systems. The detection principle is simply measuring the current change with respect to the assisted transfer of protons by a proton selective ionophore (e.g., ETH 1778) across the micro-hole interface between the water and the polyvinylchloride-2-nitrophenyloctylether gel phase. The assisted transfer reaction of protons generated from ascorbic acid across the polarized micro-hole interface was first characterized using cyclic voltammetry. An improved sensitivity for the quantitative analysis of ascorbic acid was achieved using differential pulse stripping voltammetry with a linear response ranging from 1 to $100\;{\mu}M$ concentrations of ascorbic acid. As a demonstration, the developed sensor was applied for analyzing the content of vitamin-C in different types of commercial pharmaceutical tablets and syrups, and a satisfactory recovery from these samples were also obtained.

This paper aims to investigate the impact of interfacial debonding on modal dynamic properties such as frequencies and vibration mode shapes. Furthermore, it seeks to identify the specific locations of debonding in rectangular concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns during the subsequent stage of the study. In this study, debonding is defined as a reduction in the elasticity modulus of concrete by a depth of 3 mm at the connection point with the steel tube. Debonding leads to a lack of correlation between primary and secondary shapes of vibration modes and causes a reduction in the natural frequency in all modes. However, directly comparing changes in vibration responses does not allow for the identification of debonding locations. In this study, a novel irregularity detection index (IDI) is proposed based on modal signal processing via the 2D wavelet transform. The suggested index effectively reveals relative irregularity peaks in the form of elevations at the debonding locations. As the severity of damage increases at a specific debonding location, the relative irregularity peaks would increase only at that specific point; in other words, the detection or non-detection of a debonding location using IDI has minimal effects on the identification of other debonding locations.

본 논문에서는 배경잡음과 반향이 존재하는 차량환경에서 음성인식 성능을 향상시키기 위해 상관계수를 이용한 동시통화 검출 알고리즘을 적용한 음향 반향제거기와 barge-in 기능을 갖는 음성 인터페이스를 구현하였다. 상관계수를 이용한 동시통화 검출 알고리즘은 임계치 설정 및 배경잡음의 영향 등으로 인해 검출 오류가 발생한다. 이를 보완하기 위해 동시통화 검출 조건으로 매 샘플마다 입력신호에서 추정한 배경잡음 및 반향신호의 평균 전력을 이용하여 동시통화 검출 오류를 줄였으며, 시변의 임계치를 적용한 후처리 단을 통해 시변의 잔여 잡음 성분을 제거하였다. 또한 안내음성 중에 음성입력이 가능하도록 barge-in 기능을 적용한 음성 인터페이스 시스템을 구현하였다. 제안한 음성 인터페이스 시스템은 동시통화 검출 오류와 이로 인해 발생되는 문제점을 효율적으로 해결할 수 있음을 실험을 통하여 확인하였다.

It is well recognized that the ultrasonic method is one of the most common and reliable nondestructive testing (NDT) methods for the quantitative estimation of defects in welded structures. However, NDT techniques applying for adhesively bonded joints have not been clearly established yet. In this paper, the detection of interface crack by the ultrasonic method was applied for the measurement of interfacial crack length in the adhesively bonded joints of double-cantilever beam (DCB). An optimal condition of transmission coefficients and experimental accuracy by the ultrasonic method in the adhesively bonded joints have been investigated and discussed. The experimental values are in good agreement with the computed results by boundary element method (BEM) and Ripling's equation.

In this paper, we propose a design of microwave motion detector using X-band doppler radar sensor to minimize the power consumption. To minimize the power consumption and implement battery operated system, pulse input with 2 KHz, 4% duty cycle is exerted on the doppler radar sensor. In order to simplify the process of working with ATmega2560 microcontroller unit, Arduino compatible board is designed and implemented. Arduino is open source hardware and many library software is published as open source tools. Smartphone app is also proposed and designed as a real-time user interface of the motion detector. The SQLite database on the Android mobile operating system is used for recording raw data of motion detection for post-processing job, such as fast Fourier transform (FFT). Bluetooth interface module is implemented on the motion detection board as a wireless communication interface to the smartphone. The speed of human movement is identified by post-processing FFT.

For improvement in productivity and weld quality, weld seam tracking and welding parameter control are very essential in the welding of a structure which can not be cxactly fit-up due to mismatch, discontinous gap, deflection, etc.. In this study, an automatic weld seam tracking system is developed for I-butt joint structure, and the system consists of XYZ working table, vision sensor and user interface program. In the developed vision sensor system, an image projection algorithm for weld-line detection and an adaptive current control algorithm for gap variation were implemented. The user interface program developed in this study by basing on the objct oriented concept could provide very convenient way to utilize the tracking system with the pull-down menu driven structure. The developed system showed a good seam tracking and weld quality control capability corresponding to deflected weld lines and gap variations.

To increase the production efficiency in dairy industry, proper artificial insemination is the most important operation. For the successful artificial insemination, accurate estrus detection is required. The Korean dairy farmers usually depended on visual observation for estrus detection of cows. Mounting behaviour is one of major inidications observed when cows are at an estrus. A mounting activity detection system for cows using radiotelemetry was developed. This system included a transmitter with a pressure switch, a receiver, a serial communication interface, a personal computer and a computer software. All components and a whole system were tested both in a laboratory and in a farm. The results of this study are as follows: 1. All components including transmitter, receiver and serial interface were operated according to the design specification. 2. A whole system tested with simulated mounting activity of 400 times showed 100% of success rate. 3. In the farm test for 4 days with three cows expecting estrus, one cows experiencing mounting activities showed correct response with this system. However two cows did not show mounting activities because of weak estrus and cold weather during the testing period.
