무선 주파수 인식(RFID) 기술은 바코드 시스템과 마그네틱 카드 시스템이 우리 생활에 밀접하게 이용되고 있으나 생산 방식의 변화, 소비자 의식의 변화, 문화 및 기술의 진보, 바코드와 마그네틱 카드의 단점 해소 요구에 의해 개발된 시스템이다. 즉, 무선으로 사람, 물건, 동물 등을 인식, 추적, 식별할 수 있는 기술이다. RFID 카드는 다른 접촉식 카드와는 달리 이용자가 카드를 리더에 삽입하는 시간이 필요치 않으며 기계적인 접촉이 없기 때문에 마찰이나 손상이 없고 오염이나 환경의 영향이 적은 것이 특징이다. RFID 시스템은 공장 자동화, 교통 분야, 의료 분야, 레저나 시설에서도 많이 응용되어 새로운 수익을 창출할 수 있는 기술이 될 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 두 가지 관점, 즉 다이오드레이저를 구강연조직에 접촉식으로 조사하여 조직을 절제할 경우 첫째 심부조직에서의 온도 상승 정도에 대한 분석 평가, 둘째 절제에 따른 조직의 열적 응고에 대한 조직학적 분석 평가를 위해 시도되었다. 연구를 위해 도축된 소의 혀 배면으로부터 5.0mm깊이에 T형 열전대(type T thermocouple)를 설치하고 조사조건에 따른 레이저절제 도주의 온도변화를 측정하고, 또한 해당조사부위의 조직을 대상으로 통법에 의한 H-E염색 후 조직학적 측면에서 열적 응고상을 검색하여 Nd:YAG레이저의 경우에서와 비교하였다. 즉 파장815nm의 다이오드레이저를 0-10W의 출력, 50Hz와 연속파의 주파수조건에서 접촉식으로 조사하였으며, 또한 파장1064nm의 Nd:YAG레이저를 0-10W의 출력, 50Hz와 100Hz의 주파수 조건에서 접촉식으로 조사하였다. 레이저의 접촉조사시 레이저광섬유 첨단부에서 10(10gm의 일정한 압력과 25mm/sec의 이동속도로 조직을 절제하였다. 레이저가 접촉조사된 조직부위를 통법에 의해 조직학적으로 H-E염색을 시행하였으며, 계측현미경을 이용하여 10배율 아래에서 조직절제의 폭과 깊이, 측방 및 하방 쪽으로 열적 응고의 폭을 계측하였다. 계측치에 대한 통계학적 처리결과 조직절제의 폭과 측방쪽으로 열적응고의 폭은 다이오드레이저에와 Nd:YAG레이저에서 같은 정도를 나타냈다. 조직절제의 깊이는 Nd:YAG레이저에서에 비해 다이오드레이저에서 더 깊었다. 하방쪽으로의 열적응고의 폭은 Nd:YAG레이저를 10Hz의 조건에서 조사한 경우에서 가장 넓었으며, 다이오드레이저를 50Hz와 연속파의 조건에서 조사한 경우에서 가장 좁았다. 레이저절제 도중 심부조직에서의 온도변화는 다이오드 레이저에서와 Nd:YAG레이저에서 모두 출력이 증가함에 따라 상승되었으며, 다이오드레이저에서 보다 Nd:YAG레이저에서 더 높이 상승되었다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서 시도된 조사조건 범위 이내에서는 구강연조직 절제시 다이오드레이저가 펄스형 광섬유 전달식 Nd:YAG레이저 보다 심부조직에서의 낮은 온도상승과 하방쪽으로의 좁은 열적 응고의 폭을 보이면서 우수한 조직절제효과를 나타냈다.

New nondestructive inspection (NDI) technique to detect the defect in metal was developed in which an electromagnetic field is induced in a metal by AC current flowing in the magnetic coil and the leak magnetic-flux disturbed by defects is measured using a tape-recorder head with air gap. This technique can be applied in evaluating the location and sizing of surface defects in components of the ferromagnetic body by means of the non-contacting measurement. In this paper, we have applied this technique to the evaluation of two-dimensional surface cracks in ferromagnetic metal, and also investigated the influence of the various frequencies and lift-off. Defects were detected with maximum values in the distribution of voltage and it was found that the maximum values tend to increase with the defect depth. Although the maximum values for defects are affected by the frequency and lift-off, the depth of small defects can be estimated from the linear relationship between the depth and voltage rate$(V_0/V_{ave})$.

In this study, squeal noise with respect to pressure variation is measured by a lab-scaled brake dynamometer and estimated by a complex finite element (FE) eigenvalue analysis. From the FE eigenvalue sensitivity analysis, unstable frequencies occur due to a mode-coupling mechanism and are found to change with variation in contact stiffness. In the experiment, squeal frequencies near 1 kHz, 2.5 kHz, 3.5 kHz, and 4 kHz are increased with pressure variation. The sensitivity of squeal modes to contact stiffness variation obtained from the FE analysis is shown to approximate the variation of squeal frequencies under pressure variation in the experiment.

This paper deals with the experimental research, including measurement and analysis and field survey, on the causes of occurring noise defective gear boxes in hoist production plant in order to reduce the fraction of their occurrence. In this reserch following investigations are performed : measurement and gear-boxes, examination of each machining process of production, measurement and analysis of dimensional accuracy of each part, comparative vibration test with exchanging inaccurate parts. From these investigations, it is found that the machining accuracy of pinion gear tooth thickness is the most sensitive factor of noise problem. By maintaining the tooth thickness error within 0.05 mm tolerance in the gear cutting process, the fraction of noise defective gear-boxes are greatly reduced to less than 2%, where the usual rate of it has been 20-50%.

Fingerprint segmentation and ridge orientation estimation algorithms with images from a mobile camera are proposed. The fingerprint images from a mobile camera are quite different from those from conventional sensor, called touch based sensor such as optical, capacitive, and thermal. For example, the images from a mobile camera are colored and the backgrounds or non-finger regions are very erratic depending on how the image capture time and place. Also the contrast between ridge and valley of a mobile camera image are lower than that of touch based sensor image. To segment fingerprint region, we first detect the initial region using color information and texture information. The LUT (Look Up Table) is used to model the color distribution of fingerprint images using manually segmented images and frequency information is extracted to discriminate between in focused fingerprint regions and out of focused background regions. With the detected initial region, the region growing algerian is executed to segment final fingerprint region. In fingerprint orientation estimation, the problem of gradient based method is very sensitive to outlier that occurred by scar and camera noise. To solve this problem, we propose a robust regression method that removes the outlier iteratively and effectively. In the experiments, we evaluated the result of the proposed fingerprint segmentation algerian using 600 manually segmented images and compared the orientation algorithms in terms of recognition accuracy.

Rolling noise is an important source of noise from railways; it is caused by wheel and rail vibrations induced by acoustic roughness at the wheel/rail contact. To reduce rolling noise, it is necessary to have a reliable prediction model that can be used to investigate the effects of various parameters related to the rolling noise. This paper deals with modeling rolling noise from wheel and rail vibrations. In this study, the track is modeled as a discretely supported beam by regarding concrete slab tracks, and the wheel vibration is simulated by using the finite element method. The vertical and lateral wheel/rail contact forces are modeled using the linearized Hertzian contact theory, and then the vibration responses of the wheel and rail are calculated to predict the radiated noise. To validate the proposed model, a field measurement was carried out for a test vehicle. It was found that the predicted result agrees well with the measured one, showing similar behavior in the frequency range between 200 and 4000 Hz where the rolling noise is prominent.

Evaluation of an amplitude domain reflectometry (ADR) type soil moisture sensor as ThetaProbe ML2x using the response of frequency impedance was performed in a variety of soil porous media such as Jumunjin standard sand, weathered granite soil at Sangju area, and weathered gneiss soil at Jangsu area. The tested soils were classified with a dried condition and a wetted condition for comparing with soil volumetric water content under different installed depths of the measurement sensor. In the results the part of measurement rod including one signal rod and three shield rod 6cm in length was found to decrease the variation of measurement output voltage with insert 5cm over into the soil porous media. The measurement output voltage was verified to more stable output voltage under weathered granite soils and weathered gneiss soils contained the fine grain materials such as clay and silt minerals than the gradual grain material like as the standard sands. Therefore, measurement values by soil moisture sensor can be offered the more stable values when an contact volume between soil porous media and measurement sensor increase.

Problems and technologies involved in integrating an audio preamplifier in terms of thick film technology has been discussed in detail. In particular, an attempt has been made to find methods for functional trimming of the amplifer by employing computer analysis. Among seven resistors integrated on a alumina substrate, only one resistor was found to be very sensitive to over all performance of the preamplifier. By trimming this resistor to its freguency charcteristic reguirements, it was possible to cut down trimming labor by one seventh. Besides, problems concerning resistor conductor contacts, crossover parasitic capacitance and the relations between noise per(ormance and trimming method are discussed in detail.
