The purpose of this study is to evaluate the possibility of identifying joint damping property through commercially available isokinetic ergometer (BIODEX). The proposed method is to estimate the damping torque of the knee joint from the difference between the external joint torque for maintaining isokinetic movement and the gravity torque of the lower leg. The damping torque was estimated at various joint angular velocities, from which the damping property would be derived. Measurement setup was composed of the BIODEX system with an external force sensor and Labview system. Matlab was used in the analysis of the damping property. The experimental result showed that the small variation in angular velocity due to acceleration and deceleration of the crank arm resulted in greater change of inertial torque than the damping torque. Therefore, the estimation of damping property from the isokinetic movement is difficult.

Recent development in seeker technology explores a new seeker design in which, with larger field-of-view (FOV), optical parts are strapped down to a body (hence, called as a body-fixed seeker or a strapdown seeker). This design has several advantages such as comparatively easier maintenance and calibration by removing complex mechanical moving parts, increasing reliability, and cost savings. On the other hand, the strapdown seeker involves difficulties in implementing guidance laws since it does not directly provide inertial LOS rates. Instead, information for generating guidance commands should be extracted by estimating missile/target relative motion utilizing target images on the image plane of a strapdown seeker. In this research, a new framework based on an unscented Kalman filter is developed for estimating missile/target relative motion on the simplified assumption of a point source target. Performance of a terminal guidance algorithm, in which guidance command is generated based on the estimated relative motion, is demonstrated by a missile/target engagement simulation.

In this research, we designed the head mouse system for disabled and gamers, a mouse controller which can be controlled by head movements and eye blinks only, and compared its performance with other regular mouse controller systems. The head mouse was moved by a gyro-sensor, which can measure an angular rotation of a head movement, and the eye blink was used as a clicking event of the mouse system. Accumulated errors caused by integral, which was a problem that previous head mouse system had, were removed periodically, and treated as dead zones in the non-linear relative point graph, and direct mouse point control was possible using its moving distance and acceleration calculation. We used the active light sources to minimize the influence of the ambient light changes, so that the head mouse was not affected by the change in external light source. In a comparison between the head mouse and the gazing tracking mouse (Quick Glance), the above method resulted about 21% higher score on the clicking event experiment called "20 clicks", about 25% higher on the dasher experiment, and about 37% higher on on-screen keyboard test respectively, which concludes that the proposed head mouse has better performance than the standard mouse system.

This paper presents a wideband LPA (local polynomial approximation) beamforming algorithm that is appropriate for wideband moving sources. The Proposed wideband LPA algorithm adopts STMV (steered minimum variance) method that utilizes a steered covariance matrix obtained from multiple frequency components in one data snapshot, instead of multiple data snapshots in one frequency bin. The wideband LPA cost function is formed using STMV weight vector. The Proposed algorithm searches for the instantaneous DOA and angular velocity that maximize the wideband LPA cost function. resulting in a higher resolution performance than that of a DS LPA beamforming algorithm. Several simulations using artificial data and sea trial data are used to demonstrate the performance of the Proposed algorithm.

Even though automakers have actively been conducting studies on autonomous navigation thanks to the development and application of wireless Internet technology, the traffic accident has been kept unsolved. The causes of the accident are drowsy driving, a mistake of a driver, environmental factors, and a wrong road structure; Driving manner and characteristics of a driver among the causes are significantly influential for the accident. In this paper, a study to measure characteristics of zigzag driving that can be seen before an occurrence of an accident regarding traffic accidents that can be incurred while driving manually or autonomously was conducted. While existing studies measured zigzag driving based on characteristics of the change of lateral angular velocity by imaging techniques or driving manner on the first and second lane, this study proceeded to measure zigzag driving by setting a lateral moving distance and a critical value range by utilizing the value of a sensor.

Jump rope has two motions. It starts as hand motion and ends as jump motion. Therefore, two motions should be considered together to detect rotations accurately. But previous researches only consider one of the two motions as in push-up, sit-up, lift dumbbells etc, which results in inaccurate detection of rotations. In this paper, detection of rotation in jump rope using two motions through 6-axis accelerometer gyro sensor is proposed. Jump motion is detected using accelerometer sensor and hand motion is detected using gyro sensor. Also start point and end point of jump rope is detected using magnitude and standard deviation of accelerometer and gyro sensor values. The count of rotation is detected using y-axis of gyro sensor value. Y-axis of gyro sensor value indicate hand motion of jump rope motion. The usefulness of the proposed method is confirmed through experimental results.

This paper describes the design of navigation system for an unmanned target drone which is operated by Korean army as for anti-air gun shooting training. Current target drone is operated by pilot control of on-board servo motor via remote control system. Automatic flight control system for the target drone greatly reduces work load of ground pilot and can increase application area of the drone. Most UAVs being operated nowdays use high-priced sensors as AHRS and IMU to measure the attitude, but those are costly. This paper introduces the development of low-cost automatic flight control system with low-cost sensors. The integrated automatic flight control system has been developed by integrating combining power module, switching module, monitoring module and RC receiver as an one module. The performance of navigation for low cost unmanned aerial vehicle, unmanned target drone as our test bed in this paper is verified by both Hardware in the loop simulation(HILS) to test performance of GPS as GPS output frequency high and results of flight test.

Educational equipment that enables the user or device to recognize the indoor position by using the acceleration and angular velocity of the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) sensor is introduced. With this educational equipment, various position recognition and tracking algorithms can be learned and creative engineering design works can be realized. The data value of the IMU sensor is transmitted to the MCU (microcontroller unit) through $I^2C$ (Inter-Integrated Circuit), and the indoor position recognition algorithm is applied by processing the data value through the filter and numerical method. It is then designed to use wireless communication to send and receive processed values and to be recognized by the user. As an example using this equipament, the case of "Implementation and recognition of virtual position using computation of moving direction and distance using IMU sensor" is introduced, and various creative engineering design application is discussed.

MEMS 구조물은 ${\mu}m$단위의 크기로 만들어지므로 각속도계와 같이 정밀한 센서를 만들 때에는 노이즈 문제를 해결하지 않으면 신호를 측정할 수가 없다. MEMS 구조물의 미세한 진동에 의해 발생되는 수 pico-coulomb의 전하를 측정해야하므로 구동 신호가 검출 전극에서 Feed-through되어 나타나는 경우 그 크기가 구동에 의한 신호보다 100배 이상 크기 때문에 원하는 신호를 검출할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 Feed-through 현상에 의한 노이즈를 줄이기 위하여 Guard-ring을 이용한 blocking 방법과 dummy port를 이용한 canceling 방법을 고안하고 Feed-through reduction 회로를 설계, 제작, 실험하여 그 효과를 확인하였다. 그 결과 구동신호가 6Vpp, 30kHz일 때, -53.186dBm이었던 Feed-through 신호가 -77.107dBm으로 줄어드는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 노이즈를 제거하지 않은 경우 측정할 수 없었던 Q-factor를 Feed-through reduction 회로를 사용하여 측정한 결과 진공 패키징된 Si 기반 자이로스코프가 공진주파수 약 7.018kHz에서 Q-factor가 약 2500임을 확인하였다.
