The horseback riding simulator, an exercise training machine providing a simplified horse riding motion has been developed for aiming at healthcare. The purpose of this study was to estimate the energy expenditure without measuring bio-signals using the simulator. The test protocol was consisted of increase up to maximal intensity(Motion 9) and decrease down to minimal intensity(Motion 4) during 25 minutes, and energy expenditure was measured by portable cardiopulmonary exercise testing analyzer. There were significant differences in energy expenditure according to each riding motion. The result will be able to estimate energy expenditure using motion level, exercise time, age and gender during the riding.

PET는 합성섬유, 필름, 음료수병, 성형 플라스틱 등의 다양한 용도를 가지고 있으며 특히 섬유 원료부분에서는 전세계의 약 40%이상을 차지하고 있는 상업적 입장에서 아주 중요한 소재이다.［1］그러나, PET 제조공정은 긴 반응시간과 높은 반응온도, 대용량의 다단계 공정시설을 필요로 하는 대표적인 에너지 다소비 공정으로서 현대의 치열한 고분자 제품의 시장경쟁 상황에서 에너지 투입량 감축을 위한 공정의 해석 및 개발과 그로 인한 생산원가의 절감이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 실제 공장에서 사용되는 단일 연속식 직접 에스테르화 반응기(CSTR Direct Esterification Reactor)를 모델링하고 Van Krevelen［2］의 Group contribution method로 계산된 올리고머의 열용량값을 이용하여 에너지 소모량을 계산하였다. 모델링 결과는 모두 실제 공장의 자료와 비교되었으며 가장 제어하기 쉬운 변수에 따른 반응물의 물성과 에너지 소모량을 분석하였다. 또한 압력이 일정한 조건 하에서 입력변화에 따른 반응기의 동적 모델링을 동시에 수행하였으며 투입에너지량과 반응기의 운전지표와의 관계를 분석하였다. 이러한 연구는 실제 공정분석과 최적화에 있어서 소모 에너지량을 고려한 보다 정확한 지표를 제시하고 에너지 사용의 효율성을 높이는 데 기여할 수 있다.

Despite the suzerain of Korea Taekwondo physical activity and a corresponding lack of basic research on energy consumption and the status of this research is urgent. In this study, the sensor (SenseWear (R) PRO2 Armband), using physical activity were obtained in Taekwondo, and body composition data were obtained by Inbody 520, We were thigh scan using CT scanner and thigh muscle area by CT scan data were acquired. Result of analysis, average thigh muscle area of experimenter 8 people was 132.79 $cm^2$, Of 20 cm above the patella thigh was a 178.79 $cm^2$. Thigh circumference and muscle area showed that the correlation. The average energy consumption per minute was 6.94 calories, and thigh muscle area and average energy consumption per minute also showed that correlation.

컨테이너터미널에서 사용되는 하역시스템은 유류 및 전기 에너지를 주로 소모하는 특성을 가지고 있어 컨테이너의 작업량에 따라 에너지 소비가 증가하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 컨테이너터미널 운영사에서 하역작업시 장비별로 소비하는 에너지소비 패턴분석을 하고자 한다. 에너지소비 패턴을 분석하기 위해 하역장비별 에너지 소모량과 영역별 컨테이너 처리량을 상호비교 분석하였다. 그리고 컨테이너터미널에서 소비하는 에너지의 월별 소비패턴에서 정상적인 에너지 소비패턴과 비정상적인 에너지 소비패턴을 분류하는 방법을 도출하고 정상적인 에너지소비 패턴을 유도하기 위한 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

By exploiting parallel processing, the proposed scheduling scheme enhances energy saving capability of multicore processors for real-time tasks while satisfying deadline and fault tolerance constraints. The scheme searches for a near minimum-energy schedule within a polynomial time, because finding the minimum-energy schedule on multicore processors is a NP-hard problem. The scheme consumes manifestly less energy than the state-of-the-arts method even with low parallel processing speedup as well as with high parallel processing speedup, and saves the energy consumption up to 86%.

Although the government and local governments devote efforts to activate bicycles, they only access to the supply infrastructure such as bike lanes and the public bicycle rental service centers without considering the measures to overcome the geographical constraints of slope. Therefore, this study constructs bicyclist's energy consumption estimation model through experimental methods of slope gradient and heart rate measurement and suggest the bicycle route choice model which could minimize the energy by the slope gradient. After calculating the RMSE of the estimated energy consumption by applying this model to the simulation section, it is confirmed to be 41% better than the model which does not reflect slope gradient. The results of this study are expected to be applied to the bicycle infrastructure planning that considers both longitude and transverse of bike lanes and the algorithm of bicycle route guidance system in the future.

Energy expenditure values were estimated based on the voice signals and body activities. Voice signals and body activities were obtained using PVDF contact vibration sensor and 3-axis accelerometer, respectively. Vibration caused by voices, activity signals, and actual energy consumption were acquired using data acquisition system and gas analyzer. With the use of power values from the voice signals and weight as independent variables, R-square of 0.918 appeared to show the highest value. For activity outputs, use of signal vector magnitude, body mass index, height, and age as independent variables revealed to provide the highest correlation with actual energy expenditure. Estimation of energy expenditure based on voice and activity provides more accurate results than based on activity only.

미니트램(Mini-Tram)은 승하차 시간 동안 정거장에서의 무선급전 방식에 의한 급속충전(약, 2분 30초 이내)을 통해 에너지를 공급받으며, 운행 시 차상에 설치된 에너지저장 매체(LIC: Lithium-Ion Capacitor)로부터 전기에너지를 공급받아서 운행된다. 차량에 요구되는 에너지 소모량을 분석하고 이에 맞춰서 저장 매체의 직-병렬 구성 및 전력 변환 장치(Regulator 및 DC-DC 컨버터 등)를 설계하는 것은 전기 구동 차량인 미니트램의 설계에서 매우 중요한 부분이다. 본 논문에서는 미니트램 시스템을 개발하는 과정에서 수행된 에너지공급시스템의 사양 선정을 위한 에너지 소모량 예측과 더불어 이와 관련된 주행저항 및 주행성능 분석에 대해서 다룬다.

In this paper, an energy efficient clustering scheme using self organization method is proposed. The proposed scheme selects a cluster head considering not only the number of neighbor nodes but also the residual battery amount. In addition, the network life time is extended by re-selecting the cluster heads only in case the current cluster head's residual energy falls down below a certain threshold level. Accordingly, the energy consumption is evenly distributed over the entire network nodes. The cluster head delivers the collected data from member nodes to a Sink node in a way of multi-hop relaying. In order to evaluate the proposed scheme, we run computer simulation in terms of the total residual amount of battery, the number of alive nodes after a certain amount of time, the accumulated energy cost for network configuration, and the deviation of energy consumption of all nodes, comparing with LEACH which is one of the most popular network clustering schemes. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme has twice network life-time of LEACH scheme and has much more evenly distributed energy consumption over the entire network.
