In this paper, we introduce a regularization of long short-term memory (LSTM) based fall detection system using TensorFlow that can detect falls that can occur in the elderly. Fall detection uses data from a 3-axis acceleration sensor attached to the body of an elderly person and learns about a total of 7 behavior patterns, each of which is a pattern that occurs in daily life, and the remaining 3 are patterns for falls. During training, a normalization process is performed to effectively reduce the loss function, and the normalization performs a maximum-minimum normalization for data and a L2 regularization for the loss function. The optimal regularization conditions of LSTM using several falling parameters obtained from the 3-axis accelerometer is explained. When normalization and regularization rate λ for sum vector magnitude (SVM) are 127 and 0.00015, respectively, the best sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy are 98.4, 94.8, and 96.9%, respectively.

The current operation method for the AVC (Automatic Vehicle Classification) equipment does not generate vehicle speed, traffic volume and vehicle type information when part of the sensors has failed. Inefficiency of current methods would not use the collected data from the normal sensor. In this study was conducted research on the calculating method at the traffic volume and vehicle speed in the sensor failure AVC equipment. The failure situation of the sensor was classified into 4 types. Calculating the traffic volume and vehicle speed information for each type, and accuracy of these informations were analyzed. Analysis results, traffic volume was possible to calculate a highly accurate value (accuracy: 100%, 98%, 97%). In the case of speed, the accuracy of the calculated speed value reaches a level that can be accepted sufficiently (RMSE value is less than 16.8). So, using the methodology proposed in this study are expected to be able to increase the operational efficiency of the AVC equipment.

고도로 산업화가 진행됨에 따라 회전기계는 더욱 중요시되고 있으며 이의 성능 향상에 부단한 노력이 경주되고 있다. 특히 우주 시대의 개막과 더불어 우주선 및 인공위성에 사용하기 위해 초소형이며 초고속의 고성능회전모타 를 개발하기에 이르렀다. 한 예로서 미국립항공우주국(NASA)의 스페이스셔 틀에 사용되는 주엔진 터보펌프를 들 수 있는데 이 터보펌프는 접시만한 크 기로써 71000마력을 생성해 낸다. 이러한 가공할 만한 에너지 밀도와 유량을 감당해 내려면 종래의 회전기계보다는 훨씬 더 높은 회전속도를 가져야 한 다. 이러한 회전체는 큰 관성부하와 진 동 및 동안정성의 문제등을 내포하고 있다. 고성능 회전기계의 또다른 예로서 초정밀 가공용 공작기계를 들 수 있 다. 선반 혹은 밀링머신으로 초정밀가공을 행하기 위해서는 회전축의 진동이 극히 작아야 한다. 이와 같이 오늘날 갈수록 초고성능 초정밀도를 추구함에 있어서 회전축의 진동을 현장에서 모니터링하고 이 진동데이터를 분석하여 회전축을 제어하는 것이 강력히 요구되어진다. 따라서 in-situ 측정이 중요성 을 띠게 되었는데 이는 제어기술의 바탕이 되는 자료를 현장에서 제공할 수 있기 때문이다. 회전축 진동측정의 대상이 되는 것들은 모타, 발전기, 엔진 및 터빈등을 대표적으로 들 수가 있다. 여기서 소형회전기계의 축표면과 같 이 비교적 곡면을 이루고 있는 부분의 진동변위 측정에 신중한 고려가 요구 되어 진다. 이는 축의 곡면도에 따라 감도가 변화하기 때문이다. 따라서 평 판에 대한 calibration 챠트를 회전기계축진동 변위환상에 이용하면 곡률에 따라서 오차가 생기게 된다. 본 연구에서는 비접촉 축진동측정시 발생되는 오차에 대하여 검토하고자 한다. from the studies, the origin of ${\alpha}$$_1$peak was attributed to the detrapping process form trap with 2.88[eV] deep of injected space charge from the chathode in the crystaline regions. The origin of ${\alpha}$$_2$ peak was regarded as the detrapping process of ions trapped with 0.9[eV] deep originated from impurity-ion remained in the specimen during production process of the material, in the crystalline regions. The origin of ${\beta}$ peak was concluded to be due to the depolarization process of "C=0"dipole with the activation energy of 0.75[eV] in the amorphous regions. The origin of ${\gamma}$ peak was responsible to the process combined with the depolarization of "CH$_3$", chain segment, with the activation energy of carriers from the shallow trap with 0.

This paper addresses uncertainty issues encountered recently in measuring head vibration using the conventional 6-axis or 9-axis bite-bar model. Those conventional bite-bar models are shown to present insufficient information to evaluate a generalized motion of head vibration. In order to overcome such limit, a new theoretical measurement model that consists of four 3-axis linear accelerometers is suggested. It is shown to enable the measurement of three angular acceleration components and six second-order angular velocity-dependent terms. Those nine angular motion-related ones, in addition to the three linear acceleration terms at the origin, are found to make it possible to evaluate the generalized head vibration for a given position. To examine the feasibility of the proposed method, a newly designed 12-axis bite-bar was developed. Detailed experimental results obtained from the developed 12-axis bite-bar are demonstrated in this paper. They illustrate that the popular 6-axis bite-bar model yield about $4.0\%$ relative measurement uncertainty for the pitch component of head vibration, $14\%$ and $10\%$ relative measurement uncertainty for the roll and yaw components of head vibration, respectively. Furthermore, this paper proposes other uncertainty factors to be considered in the future.

Anisotropic elastic constants of Zr-2.5Nb pressure tube materials were determined by a high temperature resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS). The resonant frequencies were measured using alumina wave-guides and wide band ultrasonic transducers in a small furnace. The rectangular parallelepiped specimens were fabricated along with the axial, radial and circumferential direction of the pressure tube. A nine elastic stiffness tensor for orthotropic symmetry was determined in the range of room temperature ${\sim}500^{\circ}C$. As the temperature increases, the elastic constant tensor, cij gradually decreases. Higher elastic constants along the transverse direction compared to those along the axial or radial direction are similar to the case of Young's modulus or shear modulus. A crossing of shear elastic constants along axial direction and radial direction was observed near $150^{\circ}C$. This fact corresponds to the crossing of c44 and c66 of single crystal zirconium.

This paper presents an observer to measure the lengths of cylinders of an underwater robot for harbour construction using a pressure sensor. In harbour constructing, we place heavy armour stones weighing over 2~3 tons on the surface of the bank to protect it from storming wave. This work typically done by a diver is difficult and dangerous so that we have developed Stone Diver which is the underwater robot for harbour construction. The robot needs a position sensor to control the hydraulic cylinder. The position sensors mounted outside the cylinders cause poor durability in construction site where shock and dust usually occur. However, the pressure sensor mounted inside a waterproof box improves the durability. Based on the dynamic parameters and the pressures in the cylinder, the observer measures the cylinder's position. This paper presents the positional accuracy of the pressure based observer and the performance of the underwater robot to assemble the armour stones.

Previous experimental results show that the magnetostrictive transducer has the peculiar characteristic with relation to their reversible magnetization and its practical usage will be hindered by this phenomena. In this paper, the idea of anhysteretization is adopted in order to solve this problem. The experimental results reveal that the anhysteretization can get rid of the extraordinary phenomena which are occurred by the change of biasing magnetic field. The effects of two important parameters, which are the amplitude and the decaying time of this process, on the anhysteretization are investigated experimentally. Finally the best operating condition is proposed in order to maximize the sensitivity under the anhysteretization.

This works studied to compare gas analyzer with accelerometer and the estimation of energy expenditure based on different attaching position of tri-axial accelerometer such as waist and top of the foot Based on the fact that oxygen intake increases more radically linearly during walking more than 8.0km/hr. 9 male subjects performed walking and running on the treadmill with speed of $1.5{\sim}8.5km$/hr and $4.5{\sim}13.0km$/hr, respectively. Commercially available Nike + iPod Sports kit was used to compare energy expenditure with sensor module attached to their foot. Actual energy expenditure was determined by a continuous direct gas analyzer and two multiple regression equations of walking and running mode for different attaching position were developed. Results showed that estimation accuracy of energy expenditure using waist mounted accelerometer was higher than that of the top of the foot and Nike + iPod Sports kit. Results of energy expenditure based on waist and top of the foot showed that the crossover state of energy expenditure occurred at 7.5km/hr. But Nike + iPod Sports kit could not find intersection of energy expenditure in all nine subjects. Therefore the sensor module attached to the waist and separate multi regression equation by walking and running mode was the best to estimate more accurate prediction.
