PHC pile head cutting is an essential work in pile foundation construction. However, since the work has labor-intensive characteristics, there are problems such as productivity and safety. So in previous study PHC pile one-cutting head cutting automation equipment was developed to solve this problem. However, it has been investigated as a limitation that checking the cutting position of the PHC pile can be challenging in place where a rotary laser leveler cannot irradiate cutting position, as the sensing unit of the developed automated equipment utilizes an optical method. Therefore, the objective of this study is to delvelop a GNSS-based methodology for sensing the cutting position of PHC piles to overcome the limitations of the optical method and to examine its feasibility for field application. If the proposed methodology is applied to the construction site, it is expected that the convenience and productivity of the PHC pile cutting position sensing work will be improved.

In this study, compressive strength and adhesion strength were measured as repair materials to evaluate the mechanical and electrical properties of compression and shear specimens with self-sensing repair materials. As a result of the experiment, the strength improvement rate of the compression test specimen was higher than the section enlargement area ratio, but the shear test specimen did not show an improvement in strength as much as the section enlargement area ratio. Compression experiments under load showed high correlation between FCR-Strain and FCR-Stress, confirming self-sensing performance. However, the shear test did not show as much correlation as the compression test. Accordingly, it is judged that the self-sensing repair material is suitable for the compression member on which the compression load acts in the building.

NOX detecting gas sensors using TiO2 doped tungsten oxide semiconductor were prepared and their electrical and sensing characteristics have been investigated. In normal air condition, the sensors of WO3, TiO2 doped WO3 show grain boundary heights of 0.34 eV, 0.25 eV, respectively. The grain boundary barrier energy variation was increased by doping TiO2 into large variation of resistance to NOX gases. And doping the TiO2 4 wt.%, the particle size of WO3 polycrystal films showed higher sensitivity and better sorption characteristics to NOX gas than the pure WO3 films material in air at operating temperature of $350^{\circ}C.$ The TiO2 doped WO3 semiconductor gas sensor shows nano-sized particle size and good sensitivity to sub-ppm concentration of NOX.

The sending characteristics of the non-contact type displacement transducers can affect the performances of the magnetic bearing systems when they support the rotating shaft. The probe type displacement sensor detects not only the displacement of the rotor at the sensing position but also the surface irregularitis of the rotor such as surface roughnessand roundness errors. If there exist such measuring errors, the magnetic bearing can not apply proper force against the rotor displacements for the detected signal is the input to the magnetic bearing controllers. The cylindrical shape capacitive transducer can detect the rotor displacement by the integral sum of the charges which are formed between the sensor plates and rotor so that it can reduce the detecting errors induced by the surface irregularities of the rotor. By theore- tical analysis, we compared the sensing characteristics of the cylindrical shape capacitive transducers for the rotors that have some sinusoidal irregularities with that of the ideal probe type displacement transducers.

This paper presents a theoretical and experimental investigation of the transmission and sensing characteristics of the biconically tapered cladded multimode fibers. The beam propagation method was used to examine the transmission characteristics with various structural parameters. The results show that the transmission of the biconically tapered cladded multimode fibers is sensitive to the mode of the input optical beam and the refractive index of the external medium. A refractive index sensor for the external medium was proposed based on the theoretical analysis, and its feasibility was demonstrated experimentally.

The Compact Airborne Imaging Spectrometer System (CAISS) was jointly designed and developed as the hyperspectral imaging system by Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) and ELOP inc., Israel. The primary mission of the CAISS is to acquire and provide full contiguous spectral information with high quality spectral and high spatial resolution for advanced applications in the field of remote sensing. The CAISS consists of six physical units; the camera system, the gyro-stabilized mount, the jig, the GPS/INS, the power inverter and distributor, and the operating system. These subsystems shall be tested and verified in the laboratory before the flight. Especially the camera system of the CAISS shall be calibrated and validated with the calibration equipments such as the integrated sphere and spectral lamps. To improve data quality and availability, it is the most important to understand the mechanism of hyperspectral imaging system and the radiometric and spectral characteristics. This paper presents the major characteristics of camera system on the CAISS and summarizes the results of radiometric and spectral experiment during preliminary system verification.

Through the ISODATA method, the micro-landform of Julpo-Bay tidal flat was classified into mudflat, mixedflat, and sandflat using Landsat TM image. Each showed an apparent differences in its topographical characteristics and grain size composition. For example, mudflats are formed with flat faces and tidal channel of dissected gully. Its characteristics of grain size analysis that the grains have less than mean grain size 4 phi. Its sorting is bad (higher than 1 S.D.), and it showed strongly positive skewness. But sandflat is topographically flat without tidal channel. It has developed with ripple marks. According to the grain size analysis of deposits, the soil is coarse size with 90% of sand and its sorting is well(lower than 1 S.D.) Also, it showed strongly negative skewness. Mixed flat is in between mudflat and sandflat in its characteristics.

The propellant level measurement system of the next Koreanized launch vehicle shall adapt a capacitive type sensor, which can generate capacitive values continuously considering cryogenic environment and the characteristics of flowrate control. At present there are a twin-arc and a triple-arc methods as a capacitive type signal sensing method. In this study a highly accurate triple-arc method, which can apply to almost all fluids, is chosen. In this paper the review results on the principle of triple-arc sensing, the analysis results on the influence on capacitive values due to shape change of sensing part, and the simulation results to monitor the influence on signal sensing according to the location of sensing part in the upper part of propellant tank are included. Information obtained from this study can be used in the designing and manufacturing of on-board propellant level measurement system in tanks.
