In the previous research, a study was carried out to estimate the actual performance such as the propeller Revolution Per Minute (RPM) and engine power of a Liquefied Natural Gas Carrier (LNGC) using the full-scale measurement data. After the predicted RPM and engine power were verified by comparing those with the measured values, the suggested method was regarded to be acceptable. However, there was a limitation to apply the method on the prediction of the RPM and engine power of a ship. Since the information of route, speed, and environmental conditions required for estimating the RPM and engine power is generally regarded as the intellectual property of a shipping company, it is difficult to secure the information on a shipyard. In this paper, the RPM and engine power of the 151K LNGC was estimated using the combination of Automatic Identification System (AIS) and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) database in order to replace the full-scale measurement. The simulation approach, which was suggested in the previous research, was identically applied to the prediction of RPM and engine power. After the results based on the AIS and ECMWF database were compared with those obtained from the full-scale measurement data, the feasibility was briefly reviewed.

Although navigation systems and automatic identification technologies are in use for nautical safety of ocean vessels, ship collisions are increasing due to the growing number of overseas transportations. Since these accidents are mostly caused by the watch officers and crews' human mistakes, it is essential to develop a new set of systems to prevent such misfortunes. Therefore, we suggest a control and management system which monitors crews in order to conduct secure on-board navigation and nautical safety. We also materialized a mobile terminal system and portable device for the crews to check the status of the ship, and we designed a platform for an integrated surveillance system to assure a harmless voyage. Lastly, we attested the mutual connections of integrated safety-related data.

Field measured sediment yield from an experimental urbanized basin was compared with the predicted sediment yields with RUSLE (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation), and MUSLE (Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation). The experimental basin is 3.1km2 in area and fifty six percent of the total area had been urbanized. The hydrological data have been measured with T/M at the outlet of the experimental basin. Runoff from the basin and rainfall depth of the basin were measured every minute. Bed load and suspended load were also measured for a given flow rate. Runoff rating curves and sediment rating curve were developed for the last three years. RUSLE showed scattered prediction results but the average of the prediction values was close to the measured one. Meanwhile, MUSLE showed linear correlation between the measured sediment yield and predicted one with high correlation coefficient. But MUSLE predicts high values than the real one. Therefore, adjustment is necessary to apply MUSLE in estimation of sediment yield from the experimental urbanized basin.

FEU which is a important device in HCTRS of TICN amplifies transmission signals. Tests of intermodulation distortion and harmonic distortion for FEU have been performed manually, and take a lot of time. This paper improves the test methods using program that set up the measurement instruments and read the data automatically. This proposal allows intermodulation distortion and harmonic distortion test simultaneously. And the new test methods show that the measurement time is shorter than before. Also, it is expected that efficient quality assurance is possible because the test time can be independently managed, unlike the previous methods, where the test time was determined according to the skill level of the operator.

Measurement accuracy and required time is important to make ATE(Automatic test equipment) system in Ka band, and SCPI commands of power meter which is a representative RF test equipment are studied in this paper. Comparison data between FETCH and MEASURE which are SCPI commands are measured in 30 G ~ 31 GHz and -70 ~ +20 dBm using two power sensor. The data show that FETCH which is the fastest SCPI is able to get reliable data in linear interval above noise level. MEASURE which is the best accurate command takes longer time than FETCH, and the longest time is 13.2 seconds. These results offer that measurement accuracy and required time of the two SCPI for power meter and would be used as a guideline for efficient ATE system in Ka band.

In this paper, a development of model based battery SOC indicator is described. The proposed method is independent upon initial SOC, is reliable on the sudden change of load, and could estimate the available driving distance. The mathematical model of battery which has relation of the current, voltage and SOC estimates the SOC by least square estimation to minimize the error between measured voltage and estimated voltage. For experiment, the charging and discharging system using computer was designed to acquire the current and voltage data for model. The feasibility in electric vehicle was confirmed by variable load testing using the developed SOC indicator by stand-alone type microcontroller.

Recently, buildings tend to be large size, complex shape and functional. As the size of buildings is becoming massive, the need for structural health monitoring(SHM) technique is ever-increasing. Various SHM techniques have been studied for buildings which have different dynamic characteristics and are influenced by various external loads. Generally, the visual inspection and non-destructive test for an accessible point of structures are performed by experts. But nowadays, the system is required which is online measurement and detect risk elements automatically without blind spots on structures. In this study, in order to consider the response of non-linear structures, proposed a signal feature extraction and the adaptive threshold setting algorithm utilized to determine the abnormal behavior by using statistical methods such as control chart, root mean square deviation, generalized extremely distribution. And the performance of that was validated by using the acceleration response of structures during earthquakes measuring system of forced vibration tests and actual operation.

As part of the National Disaster Management Research Institute's Official Development Assistance (ODA) projects for transferring new technologies in the field of disaster-safety management, a flood forecasting and warning system was established in 2019 targeting the Borikhan in the Namxan River Basin in Bolikhamxai Province, Laos. In the target area, which is an ungauged small and medium river basin, observation stations for real-time monitoring of rainfall and runoff and alarm stations were installed, and a software that performs real-time data management and flood forecasting and warning functions was also developed. In order to establish a flood warning standard and develop a nomograph for flood prediction, hydraulic and hydrological analysis was performed based on the 30-year annual maximum daily rainfall data and river morphology survey results in the target area. This paper introduces the process and methodology used in this study, and presents the results of the system's applicability review based on the data observed and collected in 2020 after system installation.

영상유속계는 영상을 이용한 비접촉식 유속계로 하천과 같은 넓은 범위의 유속 및 유량을 쉽고 간편하게 측정할 수 있다는 장점이 있어 최근 국내외에서 영상유속계의 실용화 연구가 다양하게 수행되고 있다. 특히 영상유속계는 별도의 고가의 장비 없이 카메라만을 이용하기 때문에 비교적 경제적이고 간편하며 비접촉식 유속 측정 방법이기 때문에 안전하게 홍수기 하천 유속 및 유량을 측정할 수 있다. 또한 넓은 범위의 유속을 순간적으로 측정할 수 있기 때문에 시간에 따라 수위가 급변하는 중규모 이하의 하천 유량을 측정하는데 적합하다. 하지만 영상유속계로 측정한 유속은 표면유속이기 때문에 하천 유량을 산정하기 위해서는 표면유속에 환산계수를 곱해 평균유속으로 환산하는 과정이 필요하다. 환산계수는 이전 연구에서 실험을 통해 0.84~0.90의 값을 갖는다고 하였고 일반적으로 0.85를 사용하지만, 하상, 수심 및 단면에서의 측정 위치에 따라 달라지므로 확실하게 결정하기 어렵다(Turnipseed and Sauer, 2010). 특히 국내의 많은 하천은 산책로를 포함한 복잡한 복단면으로 이루어져 있어 환산계수를 일률적으로 0.85로 사용하면 유량 측정 정확도가 낮아질 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 서울시 탄천 대곡교에서 영상유속계를 이용하여 홍수기 유량 측정을 수행하여 흐름 특성에 따른 수위변화에 따라 적정 환산계수를 산정하였다. 탄천 대곡교 지점은 환경부의 자동유량계측 장비가 설치되어 있고 다년간의 검증된 유량 자료를 확보할 수 있기 때문에 환경부 유량측정 결과와 영상유속계로 산정한 유량을 비교하며 환산계수 변화를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 수위에 따라 환산계수는 0.7~1.3의 범위를 갖으며 둔치수위 이하에서는 0.85와 유사한 경향을 보였고, 둔치를 넘는 수위에서는 1 이상으로 환산계수가 증가하였다가 둔치가 완전히 잠기는 수위에서는 다시 0.85 정도로 변화하는 경향을 확인하였다. 향후 영상유속계를 이용한 다양한 홍수기 계측을 통해 복단면에서의 적정 환산계수 검토가 필요할 것으로 생각한다.

An assist device was developed to identify the epidural space by continously monitoring the air-filled catheter pressure. The pressure signal appropriately amplified and filtered enabled to alarm the needle introduction into the epidural space by thresholding detection. Ten LEDs provided a visual change of catheter pressure before alarming for user convenience. Clinical trials were performed in 30 patients with 83% success rate at the first trial. When failed, the second trial was enough for successful anesthesia. The air volume introduced during each anesthesia was less than 1ml, causing side effects. Air filling of the catheter could also minimize infection possibility. Therefore, the present device guarantees safe anesthesia with user convenience.
