Urine glucose monitoring system is a self-monitoring system that display the glucose level by non-invasive measurement method. In this paper, We developed a noninvasive urine glucose monitoring system that improved defects of urine glucose measurement with a colorimeter method and invasive blood glucose measurement method. This system consist of bio-chemical sensor for urine glucose measurements, signal detecting part, digital and signal analysis part, display part and power supplying part. The developed bio-chemical sensor for the measurement of urine glucose has good reproducibility, convenience of handing and can be mass-produced with cheap price. To evaluate the performance of the developed system, We performed the evaluation of confidence about the detection of glucose level by a comparison between a standard instrument in measuring glucose level and the developed system using standard glucose solutions mixed with urine. Standard error was 2.85282 from the evaluation of confidence based on regression analysis. Also, In analysis of S.D(standard deviation) and C.V(coefficient of validation) that are important parameters to evaluate system using bio-chemical sensor, S.D was 10% which falls under clinically valid value, 15%, and C.V was under 5%. Consequently from the above results, compared to blood glucose measurement, the system performance is satisfactory.

The electric submersible pump (ESP) has been operating in production wells around the world because of its high applicability and operational efficiency among artificial lift techniques. When operating an ESP in a reservoir, variables such as temperature, pressure, gas/oil ratio, and flow rate are factors that affect ESP performance. In particular, free gas in the production fluid is a major factor that reduces the life and operational efficiency of ESP. This study presents the flow loop system which can implement the performance and damage tests of ESP considering field operating conditions to quantitatively analyze the variables that affect ESP performance. The developed apparatus in an integrated system that can diagnose the failure and causes of ESP, and detect leak of tubing by linking ESP and tubing as one system. In this study, the flow conditions for stable operation of ESP were identified through single phase and two phase flow experiments related to evaluation for the performance of ESP. The results provide the basic data to develop the failure prediction and diagnosis program of ESP, and are expected to be used for real-time monitoring for optimal operating conditions and failure diagnosis for ESP operation.

This paper addresses the application of motor current spectral analysis for the detection of rolling-element bearing damage in induction machines. We set the experimental test bed. They is composed of the normal condition bearing system, the abnormal rolling-element bearing system of 2 type induction motors with shaft deflection system by external force and a hole drilled through the outer race of the shaft end bearing of the four pole test motor. We have developed the embedded distributed fault tolerant and fault diagnosis system for industrial motor. These mechanisms are based on two 32-bit DSPs and each TMS320F2407 DSP module is checking stator current The effects on the stator current spectrum are described and related frequencies are also determined. This is an important result in the formulation of a fault detection scheme that monitors the stator currents. We utilized the FFT(Fast Fourier Transform), Wavelet analysis and averaging signal pattern by inner product tool to analyze stator current components. Especially, the analyzed results by inner product clearly illustrate that the stator signature analysis can be used to identify the presence of a bearing fault.

남강은 낙동강에 유입되는 지류 중 가장 큰 하천으로서 낙동강 하류의 수질에 매우 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 남강댐은 저수 용량에 비해 유역면적이 주요 저수지들에 비하여 월등하게 크므로 홍수시 순간적으로 다량의 유량 및 오염물질이 방류되어 낙동강에 유입되는 특성을 가지고 있다. 남강댐은 서북측에서 유입되는 경호강과 남쪽에서 댐축과 가까이 유입되는 덕천강이 공간적으로 멀리 떨어져 있음으로 인해, 주요 유입물질이 유입되는 시기에 횡방향 및 종방향으로 농도차이를 나타내고 있으며, 과거에 설치되었던 댐이 수중에 존재함으로 인해 국지적인 정체현상이 발생하고 있다. 남강은 현재 경남권은 물론, 거제 및 부산권의 용수원을 공급하거나 예정으로 있으므로 수질관리에 가장 큰 우선순위를 두어야 한다. 남강댐의 합리적인 수질관리를 위해서는 호 내의 공간적 시간적 수질변화에 대한 이해와 수질변화 여건에 있으며 이용되는 만큼 호 내의 정밀한 유체거동 해석이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 남강댐의 수리-수질 특성을 진단하고 예측하기 위하여 3차원 수리동역학 모델인 EFDC와 수질모델인 WASP을 연계하여 사용하였다. 유량 경계조건은 한국수자원공사 및 국가수자원관리 종합 정보시스템(WAMIS)의 남강댐 운영 자료를 바탕으로 남강댐의 유입량과 유출량 자료를 작성하였다. 남강으로 유입되는 지천 및 호 내의 수온, SS 및 수질농도 등은 환경부의 물환경정보시스템의 월 측정자료를 사용하였으며, 기상조건은 진주 기상대의 자료를 사용하였다. 본 연구에서 가용한 입력자료를 이용하여 남강댐의 수리 및 수질 및 부유물질 특성을 모의하였으며 EFDC-WASP 모델을 이용하여 성공적인 보정이 가능한 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 자세한 분석과 대책을 수립하기 위해서는 남강댐의 유입 수질 및 유량 자료에 대한 실질적인 모니터링이 수행되는 것이 필요하다고 판단된다.

A frequency of earthquake occurrence in the Republic of Korea is increasing over the past few decades. In this situation, an importance of earthquake prevention comes to the fore because the earthquake does damage to structures and causes severe damage of human life. For the earthquake prevention, a real-time vibration measurement for structures is important. As an example, the United States of America and Japan have already been monitoring real-time earthquake acceleration for the important structures and the measured acceleration data has been managed by forming database. This database could be used for revising the seismic design specifications or predicting the damage caused by earthquake. In Korea, Earthquake Recovery Plans Act and Enforcement Regulations are revised and declared lately. Ministry of Public Safety and Security is constructing a integrated management system for the measured earthquake acceleration data. The purpose of this research is to develop a real-time vibration monitoring and analysis system for structures which links to the integrated management system. The developed system contains not only a monitoring function to show real-time acceleration data but also an analysis system to perform fast fourier transform, to obtain natural frequency and earthquake magnitude, to show response spectrum and power spectrum, and to evaluate structural health. Additionally, this system is designed to be able to link to the integrated management system of Ministry of Public Safety and Security. It is concluded that the developed system can be useful to build a safety management network, minimize maintenance cost of structures, and prevention of the structural damage due to earthquake.

This paper aimed at the development of a unified wireless control system in order to control various forms of vibration of bridges. This unified wireless control system unified all different systems each of which functioned for difference purpose such as measurement, analysis, judgement, and control of data acquired from the movement of structure. It was designed to control structures with feedback which was returned according to each different situation after analyzing various signals measured about the structure. In this system, every information in each step from measurement to control was wirelessly transmitted to its central system so that a manager was able to effectively monitor the whole process. Just for the case when any system control need to intervene occurred, a graph user interface was designed for better access. In order to evaluate its basic performance, an experiment was carried out to see how signal input and output were done by comparing its results with those of a wired system. On the basis of the experiment, a vibration control experiment was performed on a model of cable-stayed bridge to see if the unified wireless control system worked well in realtime. This was carried out under four conditions, and the graph and quantitative result under each condition were compared each other. All experiments proved that the unified wireless control system functioned as well as the wired one in terms of its basic performance and vibration control.

In this paper, an environmental monitoring and diagnosis system based on ubiquitous computing technology, shortly u-Eco Monitoring System, is proposed. u-Eco Monitoring System is designed to: 1) Collect information from the manufacturing processes via ubiquitous computing technology, 2) Analyze the current status, 3) Identify the cause of problem if detected by rule-based and case-based reasoning, and 4) Provide the results to the operator for proper decision making. Based on functional modeling, a generic architecture is derived, followed by application to a manufacturing system in iron and steel making industry. Finally, to show the validity of the proposed method, a prototype is developed and tested. The developed methods can be used as a conceptual framework for designing environmental monitoring and diagnosis system for industrial practices by which monitoring accuracy and response time for abnormal status can be significantly enhanced, and relieving operator pressure from manual monitoring and error-prone decision making.
