The methods for the occlusal force measurement have long been developed. The occlusal analyzing equipment utilizing the pressure-sensitive film (Prescale) is useful for the assessment and comparison among large group of patients. On the other hand, the apparatus which uses the grid-based sensor sheet (T-scan) can be a useful assistant for acquiring the well-balanced occlusion. The device that can process the electrical input from the strain gauge which is attached to the tooth surface can collect the dynamic data of actual masticatory force. This device has been developed for the measurement of actual mastication with the food bolus and it can be a useful method for the comparison before and after the restorative treatment. Occlusal force measurement can be applied for the analysis of therapeutic action, diagnosis of crack- tooth syndrome, temporomandibul ar disease, and idiopathic implant loosening.

Previous existing vocabulary recognition programs calculate general vector values from a database, so they can not process phonemes that form during a search. And because they can not create a model for phoneme data, the accuracy of the Gaussian model can not secure. Therefore, in this paper, we recommend use of the Bhattacharyya distance measurement method based on the features of the phoneme-thus allowing us to improve the recognition rate by picking up accurate phonemes and minimizing recognition of similar and erroneous phonemes. We test the Gaussian model optimization through share continuous probability distribution, and we confirm the heighten recognition rate. The Bhattacharyya distance measurement method suggest in this paper reflect an average 1.9% improvement in performance compare to previous methods, and it has average 2.9% improvement based on reliability in recognition rate.

This paper presents the linear model of the measurement system with Phasor Measurement Units (PMU's) and the parallel processing technique to determinate state vectors of a power system. The conventional model of the PMU measurement system is in a dilemma that it is not applicable to optimal PMU placements and it needs more PMU to apply this model. In order to improve this defect, in this paper, the extended linear model which adaptable to optimal PMU placements considering the feature of zero injection bus is proposed. Because the proposed model is expressed as over-determined measurement equation, the efficient algorithm is needed. This paper proposed the partitioning scheme and the process algorithm for parallel determinating state vectors of a power system efficiently. The performance of the proposed linear model and the parallel processing algorithm is evaluated with IEEE sample systems.

Linear motor can be directly applied to the system needed linear motions without rotary motions. To control high-speed and high-resolution, the development of the linear motors is recently required in the high-integrated and speed process industry This paper presents thermal and vibration analyses as well as measurement standards of the newly developed linear motors through analyzing the thermal behaviors and vibration characteristics of the advanced products. The thermal measurements are conducted for comparing the developed linear motor with the advanced linear motor and the Finite Volume Method(FVM) is used to identify the measurement results. And then the vibration measurement are carried out in the developed and advanced linear motors with respect to the speed. To identify the measurement results, the Finite Element Method is utilized in the developed and advanced linear motors, respectively. The FVM, FEM, and experiments make it possible to understand these characteristics. The improvement is suggested through their results conducted experiment and analyses.

A simple dispersion measurement technique has been demonstrated by using a self-seeding laser oscillation of a Fabry-Perot laser through a closed loop. The optical pulses of different wavelengths emitted from the Fabry-Perot laser travel down an optical fiber and the group velocity difference between the pulses due to the chromatic dispersion of the optical fiber is measured through the self-seeding laser oscillation process. The dispersion parameter of the optical fiber is calculated from the measured group velocity difference. The performance of the proposed technique has been confirmed experimentally and the accuracy of dispersion parameter measurement was comparable to that of commercial instruments with expensive equipment and components. The repeatability of the proposed method was better than 0.5%.

We propose an outsole measurement/inspection system to improve the quality of the shoe product. It uses the Divide-and-Conquer technique to measure the length of shoes'outsole. First, it detects edge positions of outsole's toe and heel from each image frame using an unique scale block we defined and calculates the outsole's length as the distance of two edge positions. Then it compensates the total length of outsole using the side image of outsole. Next, it classifies the outsole as inferior goods if the measurement error is bigger than 5.8mm. As a result of testing with the various kinds of outsoles, it was shown that the 95% accuracy was acquired within 1mm allowable error range. In conclusion, the proposed inspection system is effective and useful in the measurement/inspection process of shoe product and any material object as well.

In uranium enrichment plants and nuclear fuel fabrication facilities, exact measurement of fissile isotope enrichment of uranium is required for material accounting in international safeguards inspection as well as process quality control. The purpose of this study was to develop a simple measurement system which can portably be used at nuclear fuel fabrication plants especially dealing with low enriched uranium. For this purpose, a small size CZT (CdZnTe) detector was used, and the detector performance in low uranium gamma/X -rays energy range was investigated by use of various enriched uranium oxide samples. New enrichment measurement technique and analysis method for low enriched uranium oxide, so-called, 'semi-peak ratio technique' was developed. The newly developed method was considered as an alternative technique for the low enrichment and would be useful to account nuclear material in safeguarding activity at nuclear fuel fabrication facility.

The exact load measurements for the mechanical parts of a wind turbine are important step both fur the evaluation of a specific wind turbine design and for a certification process. A common method for a mechanical load measurement is using a strain gauge sensing. Two main problems ought to be answered in order for this method to be applied to the wind turbine project. These are strain gauge calibration and non-contact signal transmission from the strain gauge output to a load monitoring system. This paper suggests reliable solutions fer these two problems. A Bluetooth, a short range wireless data communication technology, is used to solve the second problem. The first one, the strain gauge calibration methodology for a load measurement in a wind turbine application, is fully explained in this paper. Various mechanical loadings for a strain gauge calibration in a wind turbine load measurement are introduced and analyzed. Initial experimental results which are obtained from a 1 kW small size wind turbine are analyzed, and the uncertainty problem in estimating mechanical loads using a calibration matrix is fully covered in this paper.

Anesthesia gas to pour to patients affects the flow and volume as the pressure difference of an oxygen and an anesthesia gas. An anesthesia gas, being injurious and polluting an environment, must control the pressure of an oxygen gas because of being used by closing up tight. But a pressure sensor to use for measuring an oxygen gas appears other pressure as the characteristic and the error difference of elements to use for implementing an system. A medical machine such as an anesthesia ventilator must be accurate because of using for the person's body. So we intend to implement an system for a sensor pressure measurement not to be change regardless of an environment. This papers is the target that a sensor pressrue measurement to be changed in environment is equal to actual sensor pressure measurement. So an implemented system is using analog filter and digital filter to reduce a noise. And we are using auto-zeroing and calibration to correct a sensor pressure which is changed in environment. Through such a process we increase the accuracy and the confidence of an anesthesia ventilator by controlling the flow of an anesthesia gas.
