This paper introduces the implementation of a driver's condition warning system using eye aspect ratio to prevent a car accident. The proposed driver's condition warning system using eye aspect ratio consists of a camera, that is required to detect eyes, the Raspberrypie that processes information on eyes from the camera, buzzer and vibrator, that are required to warn the driver. In order to detect and recognize driver's eyes, the histogram of oriented gradients and face landmark estimation based on deep-learning are used. Initially the system calculates the eye aspect ratio of the driver from 6 coordinates around the eye and then gets each eye aspect ratio values when the eyes are opened and closed. These two different eye aspect ratio values are used to calculate the threshold value that is necessary to determine the eye state. Because the threshold value is adaptively determined according to the driver's eye aspect ratio, the system can use the optimal threshold value to determine the driver's condition. In addition, the system synthesizes an input image from the gray-scaled and LAB model images to operate in low lighting conditions.

In this paper, the results of the measurement and analysis of extremely low freqency(ELF) eletric field in the vicinity of 154[kV] overhad transmission lines have been described. The planar-type electric field sensor has been fabricated by three dimensional structure with special consideration of taking the power frequency and lower components. The calibration experiments have been carried out according to the procedures of IEEE recommendation. The electric field measuring system has the frequency bandwidth of 7[Hz] to 2.7[MHz] and the response sensitivity of 0.094[mV/V/m]. Also the practical measurements of electric field under an 154[kV] double corcuit overhead transmission lines have been made abd abalyzed. It was known that the lateral electric field profiles under an 154[kV] double circuit overhead transmission lines show the asymmetrical distributions owing to the environmental metal frame structures and their maximum electric field magnitude is less than 3[kV/m]. It can be concluded that the measured results of the electric fields satisfy with all limits or guide -lines of the various authorized international institutes' recommendations.

An electrochemical glucose sensor with enzyme-free was fabricated using Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs) decorated CuO nanoflowers (CuO NFs). 3-D CuO nanoflowers film was directly synthesized on Cu foil by a simple hydrothermal method and Pt NPs were dispersed on the petal surface of CuO NFs through electrochemical deposition. This prepared sample was noted to Pt NPs-CuO NF. Morphology of the Pt NPs-CuO NFs layer was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The electrochemical properties and sensing performances were investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA) under alkaline condition. The sensor exhibited a high sensitivity, wide liner range and fast response time. Its excellent sensing performance was attributed to the synergistic effect of the Pt NPs and CuO nanostructure.

In this paper, the characteristics of therapy radiation diode sensors have been studied by using therapy radiation from the MM22 microtron accelerator. The linearity, reproducibility and error ratio were measured for feasibility as a radiation detector. Energy dependence, sensitivity change after a amount of irradiation and output value according to a number of diodes were also measured for same purpose. We have formed pulse shaping of diode signal with nuclear instruments for portal image reconstruction. The percent depth dose ratio according to field size and depth was compared with that of the detector of a ion chamber. Using thirteen silicon diodes, we can directly read diode outputs on a computer monitor after A/D conversion with 16 channels analog to digital conversion board with 12 bit resolution. The possibility for portal image with diodes has been suggested from output comparison between output value with a human phantom and that without a human phantom.

Olive oil and grape seed oil (10% of meat weight) were added to a package of beef loin. The package was then vacuum-sealed, and high pressure was applied (HP, 600 MPa) to investigate the effect of the penetration of vegetable oil into meat and safety and quality of the meat. Non-HP (0.1 MPa) without any oil treatment was considered as a control. The color $L^*$ and $b^*$-values of beef loin were higher and the $a^*$-value was lower than those of the control after HP at 600 MPa. The total aerobic bacterial number was 3 Log CFU/g in the control but no viable cell was detected in the beef with 600 MPa. All inoculated E. coli and L. monocytogenes were inactivated by HP. The beef loin with vegetable oil added without HP did not show any difference in fatty acid composition, but that treated by HP showed a higher oleic and linoleic acid content when olive oil and grape seed oil were added, respectively. The addition of olive oil inhibited lipid oxidation, and sensory evaluation revealed that there was no difference among treatments. The results indicate that the addition of vegetable oil followed by the application of HP enhances the safety of beef loin, changing the fatty acid composition in a health beneficial way. In addition, the use of olive oil can inhibit lipid oxidation induced by HP.

An active antenna(AA) can have wider bandwidth and more gain with small antenna size than those of passive antennas. However, AA inherently generates thermal noise and spurious signals from an active device. Moreover, the spurious performance of AA is very important in a highly sensitive receiving system since it is located at the front end of the receiving system. In this study, we developed an AA with $100{\sim}500\;MHz$, having the output P1dB higher than 3 dBm and little spurious signals in real environments. To achieve such performance, we designed an AA with 3-stage amplifier using CD(common drain) FET and 2 BJTs. Its electrical performances were simulated using ADS. The measurement results for typical gain, NF, OIP3, VSWR and P1dB in the required frequency band were 9.7 dBi, 10 dB, 14 dBm, 1.7:1 and 3 dBm respectively. They are in good agreement with simulation results. The unwanted spectrum level of the proposed AA is $10{\sim}30\;dB$ lower than that of the antenna with CS(common source) FET configuration at a west suburban area of Seoul, which shows that the proposed AA can be applicable to a highly sensitive receiving system for detecting unknown weak signals mixed with broadcasting and civilian communication signals.

To develop chemical and biosensors, this paper studies sensing characteristics of bulk carbon nanotube (CNT) electrodes by means of their electrical impedance properties due to their large surface area and excellence chemical absorptivity. The sensors were fabricated in the form of film and nano web style by using composite process for mass production. The bulk composite electrodes were fabricated with singlewall and multi-wall carbon nanotubes based on host polymers such as Nafion and PAN, using a solution-casting and an electrospinning technique. The resistance and the capacitance of electrodes were measured with LCR meter under the various amounts of buffer solution to study the electrical impedance change properties of them. On the experimental of sensor electrode, impedance characteristics of the composite electrode are affected by its host polymer and nanofiller and its sensing response showed saturated result after applying some amounts of buffer solution for test chemical. Especially, the capacitance values showed drastic changes while the resistance values only changed within few percent range. It is deduced that the ions in the solution penetrated and diffused into the electrodes surface changed the electrical properties of the electrodes much like a doping effect.
