In this paper, we try to classify behavior patterns of a person around a bed based on a wireless sensor network system. We define five behavioral patterns and three states of a person around a bed which is described by a state machine. We collected data sensed by motion detection and vibration sensors installed around a bed from which a feature vector was extracted. Based on feature vector corresponding to behavioral patterns and the state machine, we established a model for behavioral patterns. To validate the model, experiments on subjects were performed and the model was fixed. These experimental results revealed that behavior patterns of a person around a bed can be classified well.

가속도 센서는 물체의 움직임, 속도의 변화, 충격, 진동 등의 동적힘을 순시적으로 감지하여 유용한 정보로 변환시키는 장치이다. 본 논문에서는 실리콘 기계 구조물과 광섬유형 Fabry - Perot 센서(FFPI)를 사용하여 광섬유 간섭계형 가속도 센서를 제작하였으며 실리콘 구조물의 구조를 변경하여 용도에 적합한 다양한 센서를 제작할 수 있음을 보였다. 광 간섭계는 그 구조에 따라 Fabry - Perot$^{[2]}$ , Mach-Zender$^{[3]}$ , Michelson$^{[4]}$ , Sagnac$^{[5]}$ 등으로 구분되면 이러한 간섭계 중에서 Fabry - Perot 간섭계는 측정영역이 두 반사막의 거리로 정확하게 정의되며 반사막의 거리를 조절하여 좁은 영역에서의 측정이 가능하고 고감도를 갖는다.

Natural soil was artificially contaminated with heavy metals (Cd, Pb, and Zn), and the movement of earthworm was characterized in real time using the ViSSET system composed of vibration sensor and the other components. The manifestation mechanism of ecological toxicity of heavy metals was interpreted based on the accumulative frequency of earthworm movement obtained from the real-time monitoring as well as the conventional indices of earthworm behavior, such as the change in body weight before and after tests and biocumulative concentrations of each contaminant. The results showed the difference in the earthworm movement according to the species of heavy metal contaminants. In the case of Cd, the earthworm movement was decreased with increasing its concentration and then tended to be increased. The activity of earthworm was severely increased with increasing Pb concentration, but the movement of earthworm was gradually decreased with increasing Zn concentration. The body weight of earthworm was proved to be greatly decreased in the Zn-contaminated soil, but it was similarly decreased in Cd- and Pb-contaminated soils. The bioaccumulation factor (BAF) was higher in the sequence of Cd > Zn > Pb, and particularly the biocumulative concentration of Pb did not show a clear tendency according to the Pb concentrations in soil. It was speculated that Cd is accumulated as a metallothionein-bound form in the interior of earthworm for a long time. In particular, Cd has a bad influence on the earthworm through the critical effect at its higher concentrations. Pb was likely to reveal its ecotoxicity via skin irritation or injury of sensory organs rather than ingestion pathway. The ecotoxicity of Zn seemed to be manifested by damaging the cell membranes of digestive organs or inordinately activating metabolism. Based on the results of real-time monitoring of earthworm movement, the half maximal effective concentration (EC50) of Pb was estimated to be 751.2 mg/kg, and it was similar to previously-reported ones. The study confirmed that if the conventional indices of earthworm behavior are combined with the results of newly-proposed method, the mechanism of toxicity manifestation of heavy metal contaminants in soils is more clearly interpreted.
