In this paper, a muscle motion sensing system and an artificial arm control system are studied. The artificial arm is for the people who lost one's forearm. The muscle motion sensing system detect the intention of motion from the upper arm's muscle. In sensing system we use flex sensors which is electrical resistance type sensor. The sensor is attached on the biceps brachii muscle and coracobrachialis muscle of the upper arm. We propose an algorithm to classify the one's intention of motions from the sensor signal. Using this algorithm, we extract the 4 motions which are flexion and extension of the forearm, pronation and supination of the arm. To verify the validity of the proposed algorithms we made experiments with two d.o.f. artificial arm. To reduce the control errors of the artificial arm we also proposed a fuzzy PID control algorithm which based on the errors and error rate.

Integrating a 3D solid modeler with a general purpose FEM code, an automatic stress intensity factor analysis system of the 3D crack problems has been developed. A geometry model, i.e. a solid containing one or several 3D cracks is defined. Several distributions of local node density are chosen, and then automatically superposed on one another over the geometry model by using the fuzzy knowledge processing. Nodes are generated and quadratic tetrahedral solid elements are generated by the Delaunay triangulation techniques. Finally, the complete finite element(FE) model generated, and a stress analysis is performed. This paper describes the methodologies to realize such functions, and demonstrates the validity of the present system.

One of the challenging tasks in visual inspection using CCD camera is to identify surface defects in an image with complex textured backgeound. In microscopic view, the surface of real objects shows regular or random textured patterns. In this paper, we present a visual inspection algorithm to extract abnormal surface defects in an image with textured background. The algorithm uses the space and frequency information at the same time by introducing the Dominant Frequency Map(DFM) which can describe the frequency characteristics of every small local region of an input image. We demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the method through a series of real experiments for a 14" TV CRT mold. The method successfully identifies a variety of infinitesimal defects, whose size is larger than $50\mu\textrm{m}$, of the mold. The experimental results show that the DFM based method is less sensitive to the environmental changes, such as illumination and defocusing, than conventional vision techniques.ques.

This paper investigates fretting wear damage in aerospace, biomedical, and nuclear components. Experimental parameters are identified that affect fretting wear damage. The parameters observed in industries are directly compared. The magnitudes of frequency, relative displacement, and normal force are found to differ depending on the contacting components where fretting wear occurs. In addition, recent solutions to minimize fretting wear damage are reviewed. The solutions include depositing of a low-friction coating, surface treatment, selection of substrate material, and optimal design of contact geometries. This comparative study suggests useful methods and solutions for analyzing fretting wear damage and for designing tribo-components.

An intelligent deburring control (IDC) device is used to control the constant force for a deburring tool mounted on the end-effector of a robotic arm. This device maintains a constant contact force between the deburring tool and the workpiece in order to provide a good deburring performance. In this paper, we build a mathematical model in Matlab/Simulink to estimate the force control mechanism of the pneumatic system for the IDC device. The Simulink blocks are built for each separate part and are linked into an integrated simulation system. Such a model also relies on the effects of the flow rate through the valve, air compressibility in the cylinder, and time delay in the pressure valve. The results of the simulation are compared to a simple experiment in which convenient math modeling is performed. These results are then used to optimize the mechanical design and to develop a force control algorithm for the pneumatic cylinder.

As Internet of Things (IoT) technology evolves, IoT devices are being utilized in a variety of fields. However, it has become a new surface of cyber attacks and is affecting industries that did not previously consider cyber breaches. After a intrusion occurs, post-processing and damage spread prevention are important, but it is difficult to respond due to the lackof standards and guidelines. Therefore, in order to respond to such incidents, this paper establishes an incident data collection procedure and presents the data that can be collected to improve the intrusion data acquisition method for general IoT devices. In addition, we proved the efficiency and feasibility of the data collection procedure through experiments.

Among many other CG generated natural scenes, the representation of ocean surfaces is one of the most complicated and time-consuming problem because of its large extent and complex surface movement. We present a hybrid method to represent and animate unbound deep-water ocean surfaces by utilizing graphics processor as both simulation and rendering core. Our technique is mainly based on spectral approaches that generate a high-detailed height field using Fourier transform on a 2D regular grid. Additionally, we incorporate Gerstner model and generate low-detailed height field on a 2D projected grid in order to represent large waves and main structure of ocean surface. There is no interruption between CPU and GPU, and no need to transfer simulation results from the system memory to graphics hardware because the entire simulation and rending processes are done on graphics processor. As a result we can synthesize and render realistic water surfaces in real-time. Proposed techniques are readily adoptable to real-time applications such as computer games that have heavy work load on CPU but still demand plausible natural scenes.

This perspective describes recent advances made in the development of various electrochemical technologies to treat waste water containing organic pollutants, reducible/oxidizable and non-reducible/non-oxidizable anions and cations using redox reactions on the solid surface as well as at the interface between solid electrode and liquid electrolyte. Some of representative multiplexing and hybrid electrochemical treatment technologies are discussed, which have great advantages of high efficiency, stability and cost-effective instrumentation without the need of considering non-specific conditions such as high-temperature and high-pressure; however, choices and usages of electrode materials are absolutely critical issues.

유량 측정을 위해 도섭법, 횡측선법 등의 인력에 의한 방법이 적용되고 있으나, 이는 야간 및 휴일 측정, 인력 부족 등 여러 제약으로 인해 고수위 홍수를 측정하는 데에 한계가 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 시공간적 제약이 없는 도플러 방식 초음파유속계(Acousitc Doppler Velocity Meter, ADVM)와 자동유속관측시스템(Portable Automatic Velocity Observation System; PAVOs)이 제안되었다. 이 방법들은 교량에 설치된 장치를 통해 실시간으로 유속이 계측되어 시공간적 제약이 없으며 홍수 관리에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 실시간으로 계측된 유속 데이터는 오·결측 값이 발생하며 ADVM의 경우 수위-유량관계식을 활용하는 등 전처리 방법이 활용되고 있지만 전자파표면유속계를 활용한 PAVOs 데이터의 전처리 방법에 대한 연구는 부족하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PAVOs에서 실시간으로 계측된 유속 데이터의 전 처리 과정(Pre-processing)을 개발하였다. PAVOs를 통해 측정된 데이터는 5분 단위로 10개의 유속이 한번에 측정되며 비정상성(Non-stationary)인 특징을 가진다. 이 데이터의 전처리 과정으로 오·결측값에 대한 처리 및 보간법 적용 이후 10개 값 중 실제 유속을 판단하고 잡음제거(Denoising)를 수행하였다. 이를 강원도 홍천강에 위치한 홍천교에서 계측된 유속 데이터에 적용하였다. 그 결과 데이터의 상승부와 하강부에서 일정한 경향성을 파악할 수 있다. 이 데이터를 통해 산정한 유량과 실측 기반의 평균유속과 관계를 통해 계산한 유량을 비교해 보았을 때 낮은 편차율을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 전 처리 된 실시간 유속 데이터를 활용한다면 최고수위가 발생하였을 경우 홍수량을 산정할 수 있을 것이다. 또한, 강우 또는 하천 공사에 의해 변동하는 수위-유량관계곡선식을 실시간으로 개발할 수 있을 것이며 이는 효과적인 홍수관리에 큰 역할을 할 수 있을 것이다.

Non-point pollutants from surface runoff during rainfall exert adverse effects on urban river water quality management. In particular, the first flush effect during the initial phase of rainfall can deliver significant amounts of pollutant loads to surface waters with extremely high concentrations. In this study, a sustainable first flush effect management system was developed by using settling and filtration that require no additional power or chemicals. A pilot scale experiment has shown that the removal of total suspended solid (TSS), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) are in ranges of 84 - 95%, 31 - 46%, and 42 - 86%, respectively. An Integrated Stormwater Runoff Management System (ISTORMS) was also developed to efficiently manage the developed system by linking weather forecast, flow rate and water quality modeling of surface runoff and automatic monitoring systems in fields and in the system. This study can provide effective solutions for the management of urban river in terms of both quantity and quality.
