In this paper a new defect length estimation algorithm using SQI(self quotient image) is presented for the MFL(magnetic flux leakage) inspection of underground gas pipelines. Gas pipelines are magnetized by the permanent magnets of the MFL PIG(pipeline inspection gauge) when the PIG runs through pipelines. If defects or corrosions exist in the pipeline, magnetic leakage flux is increased. The MFL signals measured by hall sensors are analyzed to estimate defect length using SQI. For 74 real defects carved in KOGAS pipeline simulation facility(KPSF) the accuracy of defect length estimation of the proposed algorithm was compared with that of conventional methods.

This paper presents a development of an analog type magnetic positioning system and its positioning accuracy improvement using fuzzy inference system. As the magnetic positioning system used on a magnet-gyro guidance system for AGV(automatic guided vehicle), it measures a position of magnet embedded in floor of the work place. The existing product of the magnetic positioning system is very expensive in Korea because it is being sold in a foreign country exclusively. Moreover, the positioning accuracy of the product is low because it uses digital type unipolar hall sensors. Hence, we developed the magnetic positioning system by ourselves and improved the positioning accuracy of the developed magnetic positioning system using fuzzy inference system. For experiment, we used the analog type magnetic positioning system which we have developed, and compared the performance of the proposed method with the performance of the existing positioning method for the magnetic positioning system. In experimental results, we verified that the proposed method improved the positioning accuracy of the magnetic positioning system.

A non-contact type magnetic signal monitoring equipment for automotive electric devices is proposed in this paper. There are many kinds of actuators in the car like solenoid, relay, motor, injector, etc which are operated by magnetic energy. It is difficult to find out whether the actuators operate well or not because the terminals of the actuators are combined to the connectors. In this paper a non-contact type magnetic signal monitoring equipment using Hall effect sensor is proposed to measure the magnetic signal of the actuators very easily to find out the actuators' operating status. The simulation and experimental results show that the developed equipment is very useful and has good performance.

MFL PIG (Magnetic Flux Leakage Pipeline Inspection Gauge) is called the system which detects the defect for underground pipelines by using magnetic flux leakage method in nondestructive testing. This method is very suitable for testing pipelines because pipeline has high magnetic permeability. MFL PIG generates the magnetic fields to the pipe axially oriented, and detect the signal of leakage flux by using hall sensor. However, MFL PIG is hard to detect the axially oriented crack with small size because the magnetic flux leakage is not enough to be occurred. To detect the small size and axially oriented crack, the circumferential MFL (CMFL) PIG is being proposed and it can maximize the leakage flux for the axial crack by performing magnetic fields circumferentially on the pipe. In this paper, CMFL PIG is applied to detect the axially oriented crack with small size and the analysis for the distribution and the amplitude of the leakage flux signal is performed by using three dimensional finite element method. From sensing signals, the method how to determine the shape of axially oriented cracks is proposed and verified with experiment.

자기누설탐상시스템은 지하에 매설된 가스관에서 발생되는 부식이나 크랙 또는 기계적 변형을 탐지하기 위한 방법으로 비파괴검사 방법의 하나이다. 가스관은 Nd자석에 의해 착자가 되고, 가스관에 부식이 발생했을 경우 가스관의 단면적이 작아지게 되어 자기누설이 발생하며, 발생된 자기누설을 홀센서로 검출하여 부식의 유무, 크기, 모양 등을 판별하게 된다. 가스관에는 한 개의 독립적인 부식도 있지만, 다수의 부식이 밀집되어 나타나기도 한다. 다수의 부식이 밀집되었을 경우 부식간의 거리에 따라 하나의 부식으로 판정되기도 하며, 그에 따라 부식의 깊이를 판정하는데 있어 정확성이 저감된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다수의 부식이 밀집되어 발생할 경우 자기적 영향을 분석하고, 깊이 판정에 있어 정확성을 높이기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해서 실제 결함을 제작하여 실험하고, 해석하여 비교하였으며 밀집된 다수의 부식에 의한 자기적 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다.

In this paper, we propose a linear modeling and identical PD controller design scheme for the three-pole hybrid-type AMB recently developed in the laboratory, which consists of three permanent magnets, providing bias flux, three Hall diodes, measuring rotor displacements, and ring type permanent magnet bearing, stabilizing in axial and tilting directions. Along the three physical coordinates formed by three poles, we introduce the redundant coordinate system and three identical decoupled controllers to construct linear model. The experiments are also carried out in order to verify the effectiveness of proposed controller in stabilizing the transient and steady state response of rotor.

The analytical model to investigate the effects of the drift and diffusion carrier transport upon the Hall effect is presented and applied to the general PN junction structure. The diffusion current effect on the Hall coefficient can not be considered in the conventional model, which produces the conversion of the direction of the induced Hall field between measured and calculated values. The proposed analytical model which considers the diffusion current effect provides the coincident results with the previous experimental results.

감속기가 사용되어지는 경우 부하의 변동이나 구동부의 상태변화에 따라 모터의 토크, 회전수 등이 변하는데 이러한 값들을 모니터링 하면 부하의 변동이나 구동부를 진단할 수 있다. 본 논문은 유성기어를 이용한 기어드 모터를 제작하고, LCD를 포함하는 간단한 사용자 인터페이스를 통해 전달 Torque, 전달회전수(rpm), 전달동력을 확인할 수 있는 소형의 표시기가 있는 감속기에 관한 것이다. 일반적으로 전달 토크를 측정하는 장비는 크기가 크고 고가이며 계측기를 연결하고 측정하는 과정이 매우 번거로울 뿐만 아니라 지속적인 유지보수가 필요한 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 유성기어를 사용하면 간단히 모터의 토크 및 회전수를 측정할 수 있고 측정값을 표시하는 표시기를 모터에 부착할 수 있다. 측정 및 표시기는 기존 가격에 비해 매우 값싸게 제작할 수 있고 유지보수가 필요 없으며 검출 값을 시스템 제어부에 피드백 시키면 자기진단이 가능해진다. 특히 블루투스를 이용한 무선 통신기능을 부과하면 원격 모니터링이 가능하고 복수 모터유닛의 네트워크 구성이 용이하며 인터넷을 통한 데이터 통신으로의 확장이 가능하다.
