가뭄 피해 극복을 위한 인공 함양지 통합관리시스템의 일부로써 지표수-지하수 연계 특성 분석용 의사결정을 전달하는 인공지능 스마트 계측기의 필요성이 꾸준히 제기되어 왔으나 실용성과 효율성을 동시에 갖춘 계측기는 시장에 출시되지 않았다. 기존의 계측기는 단순 측정이 목적이었으며 분석을 위해서는 일정 기간 직접 계측하여 분석하거나, 계측데이터를 원격 망을 통하여 서버로 전송하고 관리자가 데이터를 해석하는 방식을 취하였다. 또한, 수질 계측과 수질의 미소 변동성을 동시에 계측하여 수질 변화상태를 판단 할 수 있는 수질 계측기는 상품화되지 않아 다목적 수질 분석에 한계점을 갖고 있다. 이러한 한계점이 기존의 지하수 수질 계측기로는 불가능한 수중 라돈을 채수 없이 계측 가능하도록 하고, 순간 수질 변화 및 수질 변화 요인분석이 가능한 계측을 위하여 라돈, 전도도, 수위, 수온 및 필름형 pH 센서를 개발하여 적용한 다항목 계측기로 통합하는 연구가 필요한 이유이다. 개발한 계측기는 빅데이터 기반의 지능형 수질 변동성 분석 알고리즘을 내장하고 수직 깊이 방향의 다중심도 계측이 가능하도록 핵심적인 통신 연결성을 확보하였고 다양한 수질에서 견딜 수 있으며 특히 인공함양에서 발생하는 철, 망간에 부식되지 않는 재질을 이용하여 설계한 '지표수-지하수 연계 특성 분석용 다심도 및 인공지능 스마트 계측장치'이다. 본 장치는 기존 지하수 수질 계측기에서는 불가능하였던 순간 수위변화 및 수위변화 요인분석이 가능한 계측을 위하여 초당 측정 샘플링 주파수(10Hz)를 높인 계측회로를 개발하여 적용하였다.

A field server was developed by using ubiquitous sensor network technology to monitor the abrupt weather variation in local or mountain area. The data transmissions between deployed field servers in local terrain are very important technology in disaster prevention monitoring system. Weather related information such as temperature, humidity, illumination, atmospheric pressure, dew point and meteorological data are collected from the designated field at a regular interval. The received information from the multiple sensors located at the sensor field is used flooding routing protocol transmission techniques and the sensing data is transferred to gateway through multi-hop method. Telosb sensor node are programmed by nesC language in TinyOS platform to monitor the weather parameters of the local terrain.

국가의 논의 타작물 재배 권장 정책과 농한기 수익을 위해서 동절기에도 농사가 가능한 시설농업이 발달했으며, 1990년 초부터 재배면적이 증가하여 2000년에는 10만 ha를 넘어섰고, 2018년에는 80만ha의 규모를 보이고 있다(농사로, 2019). 시설농업단지의 동절기 난방을 위한 에너지원으로 화석연료와 전기열원을 사용하고 있고, 특히 강변의 경우 지하수를 난방 열원으로 사용가능해 수막재배를 이용한 대규모 시설단지가 발달함에 따라 지하수의 이용량이 증가하고, 2015년 농업용 지하수 이용량은 연간 20억 톤에 이른다(GIMS, 2019). 난방이 필요한 동절기에 수막용수를 위한 지하수 이용량이 급증하여 계절적인 수위변화를 보이며, 특히 강변의 대규모 시설농업단지의 지하수의 부족현상이 빈번히 발생하는 실정이다(송성호, 2017). 본 연구지역은 낙동강 하구댐 설치 전만조 시 해수의 유입으로 암반지하수의 심도가 증가할수록 EC가 증가하는 특성을 보이는 곳으로, 지하수의 이용량이 급증하는 동절기에 특히 급격히 증가하여 지하수의 안정적인 수질관리를 위해 염분변화의 관리가 필요한 지역이다. 지하수의 계절적인 변화를 위해 시설농업단지내에 지하수 관측정이 설치되어 관측되고 있으며 본 연구에서는 관측정의 2013년 1월~2019년 1월까지 지하수의 EC변화를 관측하였다. 지하수의 수위(GL.m), 온도, EC를 1시간 주기로 관측하여 계적적인 변화를 분석하였고, EC의 증가가 큰 곳은 심도별로 센서(다중심도)를 설치하여 염도의 변화를 관측하였다. 지하수성분의 지질학적 기원분석을 위한 양음이온 분석을 연 1회 실시하였다. 또한 관측정의 심도별 변화를 알기 위해 동일지역에 충적, 암반 관측정을 따로 설치하고 관측하여 지표수와 지하수의 심도별 영향의 차이를 분석하였다. 동일지역의 관측결과 평균 5m이하의 수위변화를 보이나, 5m 이상의 수위변동을 보이는 관측망은 15년 14개소 17년 19개소로 증가추세를 보이며, 이는 주로 밀집된 시설하우스 단지의 수막재배를 위한 겨울철 지하수 사용량 증가가 원인인 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구지역은 강변지역에 밀집된 시설하우스단지의 동절기 수막재배를 위한 지하수 과다 사용으로 수위급감 및 수량부족현상이 반복되고 있어, 예방과 대책강구를 위해 지표수의 함양과 지하수사용량의 상관관계 분석과 자료축적 및 추가연구를 위한 장기관측이 요구된다.

The received data from the sensor is transmitted to the data processing device, and then the processed data can be monitored on a smart phone. Consequently, the pilot plant based on the low-cost and high-efficiency USN has been developed with the performance analysis for the communication network and remote monitoring system on mobile devices.

Purpose. The purpose of the study was to fabricate a prototype robotic simulator for dental education, to test whether it could simulate mandibular movements, and to assess the possibility of the stimulator responding to stimuli during dental practice. Materials and methods. A virtual simulator model was developed based on segmentation of the hard tissues using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data. The simulator frame was 3D printed using polylactic acid (PLA) material, and dentiforms and silicone face skin were also inserted. Servo actuators were used to control the movements of the simulator, and the simulator's response to dental stimuli was created by pressure and water level sensors. A water level test was performed to determine the specific threshold of the water level sensor. The mandibular movements and mandibular range of motion of the simulator were tested through computer simulation and the actual model. Results. The prototype robotic simulator consisted of an operational unit, an upper body with an electric device, a head with a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and dentiforms. The TMJ of the simulator was capable of driving two degrees of freedom, implementing rotational and translational movements. In the water level test, the specific threshold of the water level sensor was 10.35 ml. The mandibular range of motion of the simulator was 50 mm in both computer simulation and the actual model. Conclusion. Although further advancements are still required to improve its efficiency and stability, the upper-body prototype simulator has the potential to be useful in dental practice education.

The sensing of a stack coolant deficiency is very important in that cooling performance of a fuel cell, overheating prevention of a stack or coolant heater. This paper explains the performance comparison between the coolant contact/noncontact level sensors and coolant deficiency sensing logic using the pressure sensor in a stagnant or circulating flow. Throughout the comparison, the pressure sensor is more suitable than the other sensors in terms of the precision, fast response, sensing frequency. After the experiment, the pressure sensor is equipped to an FCEV(Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) to verify sensing definitely. There was no miss-sensing using pressure sensor while FCEV runs in the conditions of the paved road and cross country road.

With a striking increase in the level of contamination and subsequent degradations in the environment, detection and monitoring of contaminants in various sites has become a crucial mission in current society. In this review, we have summarized the current research areas in membrane-based colorimetric sensors for trace detection of various molecules. The researches covered in this summary utilize membranes composed of cellulose fibers as sensing platforms and metal nanoparticles or fluorophores as optical reagents. Displaying decent or excellent sensitivity, most of the developed sensors achieve a significant selectivity in the presence of interfering ions. The physical and chemical properties of cellulose membrane platforms can be customized by changing the synthesis method or type of optical reagent used, allowing a wide range of applications possible. Membrane-based sensors are also portable and have great mechanical properties, which enable on-site detection of contaminants. With such superior qualities, membrane-based sensors examined in the researches were used for versatile purposes including quantification of heavy metals in drinking water, trace detection of toxic antibiotics and heavy metals in environmental water samples. Some of the sensors exhibited additional features like antimicrobial ability and recyclability. Lastly, while most of the sensors aimed for a detection enabled by naked eyes through rapid colour change, many of them investigated further detection methods like fluorescence, UV-vis spectroscopy, and RGB colour intensity.

The low-voltage connection box used as a low-voltage transmission line of KEPCO is intended to branch or connect to an underground line. In comparison with the utility considering the aesthetics of the distance, and safety measures are needed. In this paper, temperature and humidity, $CO_2$, water level, acceleration, and vibration sensor are installed inside the underground low voltage handhole, and the sensor data is transmitted to the ground using the Zigbee module. Antenna (Bolted Antenna) for communication with the ground was proposed and the data reception through it was confirmed. In the LF mode and the HEX mode, the transmitted data was confirmed to be a perfect reception success rate. In the case of the bolted antenna, the difference between the ground state and the underwater state was observed as a result of the experiment in the environmental environment. However, It was judged that reception sensitivity was sufficient for communication. The received data could be confirmed through PC based GUI.
