In this paper, we propose that it can control the interior lighting, LED and alarm clocks based on Bluetooth. The proposed 'Bluetooth based LED Alarm Lamp'may be an ON / OFF by using a Bluetooth module, by the light sensor and voltage transformers were designed to adjust the ON / OFF and light intensity. Also 7-segment display the clock, it was used a piezo-buzzer that designed to ring an alarm in time. And to decrease the voltage by using the touch sensor can adjust the light brightness. It was also added the ability to align the alarm. This piece (Bluetooth based LED Alarm Lamp) can provide a comfortable environment inside the room of a resident if the environment is dark when voltage is maintained to be ON automatic system. And designed with emphasis being able to improve the quality of sleep due to weak light.

Rock bolts have been installed into rockmass as a main support system. In order to evaluate the rock bolt integrity using non-destructive technique, the transmission method of the guided ultrasonic wave has been successfully performed. For the transmission method, however, the source for the generation o# guided ultrasonic waves should be installed at the end of the steel bar during construction of the rock bolt in the field. The purpose of this study is to suggest a reflection method that the source and the receiver are installed on the head of the steel bar. The reflection method is compared with the transmission method using non-embedded rock bolts and rock bolts embedded in concrete block. In this experiment, the piezo disc element is used as the source and the AE sensor is used as the receiver. The wavelet transform is applied to determine the energy velocity. The experimental studies show that the reflection method produces almost identical value of the transmission method, and the energy velocity increases with the defect ratio. This study suggests that the reflection method of the guided ultrasonic wave may be a suitable method fur the rock bolt integrity evaluation in the field.

For the mobile healthcare environment, it is important to measure the exact biomedical signals in real time, and another key point is to design mobile healthcare devices with low power consumption. In this paper, we propose a method in which the piezo film sensor(PFS), having a low power characteristic, is used to measure the pulse signal synchronized with the heart rate from the radial artery. The critical issue in the bio-signal processing is the existence of the motion artifacts. To dissolve this problem, we have applied the periodic moving average filter using the quasi-periodicity of the pulse signal in addition to the conventional method of the adaptive filtering using the reference signal. Results of simulation and experiments are presented to confirm that the quasi-periodicity of the PFS signal can be used to eliminate completely the motion artifacts which still appears after the adaptive filtering.

According to a survey, more than 50% of the elders fall which is the most frequent daily safety accident of the elders takes place at home. Furthermore, the elders fall is anticipated to increase as more elderly people are expected to live alone since, 67.1% of the elders of 65 or more do not hope to live with their children. This research aims to verify the fall by measuring and analyzing the floor vibration, and the hardware system was also designed was Piezo Film Sensor, Op-Amp, and DAQ. The system is consists of signal processing part for measuring floor vibration and alarm part for identifying the consciousness of the user when the fall occurs. The fall detection by vibration signals verified by k-Nearest Neighbor verification, and the results showed the error rate of 3.8%.

According to a 2006 paper by a music therapist and a music therapist in elementary schools, the demand for special education increased, and a 2018 music education study showed that music rooms and equipment increased, but it was difficult to move or lacked various instruments. In this work, we develop a module that combines hardware and software for social improvement education in autistic children using tools. Various instrument sounds can be set using piezo sensors and Arduino, so you can experience various instruments through simple operation and there are instruments designed for music therapy through modularity. Hopefully, the study will help disabled children heal their music.

하천의 식생은 생태서식처 제공, 강턱이나 하안 경사의 안정, 영양염류나 오염물 차단에 의한 수질 개선 등의 다양한 생태서비스를 제공하는 반면, 과도하고 편중된 식생 분포로 인해 흐름저항이 증가하고 이로 인한 홍수위 상승과 홍수피해 위험이 가중될 수 있다. 기후변화 영향과 토지이용 변화에 따른 수리수문 특성 변화와 유역으로부터 영양염류의 유입은 하천내 식생이 과도하게 퍼지는 직접적인 원인이 될 수 있다. 과도한 식생분포로 인한 흐름저항과 홍수위 상승을 평가하기 위해 식생하도의 흐름저항과 관련된 매개변수의 다양성과 복잡성에 따른 해석상의 한계에도 불구하고 이에 대한 이론적 해석과 수학모형의 개발, 실험실 수로와 하천현장조사, 수치모형을 이용한 예측 등의 다양한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 소규모 실험실 수로에서 단순화된 식생 구조와 배열이 적용되는 한계성과 상류에서 유입되는 유량과 유속 등의 수리조건을 통제할 수 없는 현장실험의 한계성을 보완하고자 목본류 형태의 식생패치를 실규모 하천실험 수로에 조성하여 통제된 수리조건에서의 식생하도의 구간 흐름저항을 추정하기 위한 계측 실험을 수행하였다. 실규모 실험에서는 피에조미터 형식의 정밀 압력식 센서를 이용하여 수위와 수면경사를 계측하였으며, 실험구간의 접근 수로에서 ADCP(Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler)를 이용하여 유입 유량에 대한 정보를 수집하였다. 전체 수로 길이 약 600 m, 하폭 11 m, 깊이 2 m 규모의 실규모 하도 일부 80 m 완경사 구간에 식생패치를 설치하고 구간 수면경사를 실측함으로써 식생하도의 흐름저항을 직접 산정하였다. 이러한 실규모 식생하도의 실험을 통해 식생패치의 밀도, 횡적 차단면적, 구간 차단부피, 목본 식생의 물리적 특성, 식생패치의 배열 등의 다양한 식생분포 조건에 따른 수리조건별 흐름저항 값의 변화를 분석할 수 있다. 식생하도에 대한 정확한 흐름저항 추정과 홍수위 변화에 대한 해석은 하천 식생의 생태서비스와 홍수방어의 하천 치수효과의 최적 솔루션을 제시하기 위한 하도관리의 다양한 방안을 제시하는데 필수적인 정보로 활용될 수 있다.

The exoskeleton robot to assist walking of hemiplegia patients or disabled persons has been studied in this paper. The exoskeleton robot with degrees of freedom of 2 axis has been developed and tested for joint motion. The obtained EMG signal from normal person was analyzed and the control signal was extracted from it for convenient and automotive performance of assistance robot to help hemiplegia patient walks as normal person does. the purpose of using FES(Functional Electrical Stimulation) for hemiplegia patient's walk is to restore damaged body function by this, but this could give fatal electrical shock to patients by wrong use or cause quick fatigue in muscle by continuous stimulation. The convenient movement of hemiplegia patients with minimum muscle fatigue was looked possibly by operation of assistance robot exoskeleton using control signal. and the walking assistance exoskeleton robot seemed works more efficiently than using FES stimulator. The experiment in this study was performed based on usual motion in our life like walking, standing-up, sitting-down, and particularly feedback control system using Piezo sensor along with button switch was applied for smooth swing motion in walking. The experiment also shows that hemiplegia patients can move conveniently by using electromyogram signal of healthy leg for the operation signal of assistance robot system attached at damaged symmetrical leg.

As rock bolts become one of the main support systems in tunnels and underground structures, the integrity of the rock bolts affects the safety of these structures. The purpose of this study is the evaluation of rock bolt integrity using wavelet transforms of the guided ultrasonic waves by using transmission test in the field. After several rock bolts with various defect ratios are embedded into a large scale concrete block and rock mass, guided waves are generated by a piezo disk element and measured by an acoustic emission (AE) sensor. The captured signals are analyzed in the time-frequency domain using the wavelet transform based on a Gabor wavelet. Peak values in the time-frequency domain represent the interval of travel time of each echo. The energy velocities of the guided waves increase with an increase in the defect ratio. The suitable curing time for the evergy velocity analysis is proposed by the laboratory test, and in-situ tests are performed in two tunnelling sites to verify the applicability of rock bolt integrity tests performed after proposed curing time. This study proves that time-frequency domain analysis is an effective tool for the evaluation of the rock bolt integrity.
