The purpose of this study is to measure and compare the balance of motion between the left and right using a wearable sensor during upper limb exercise using an exercise equipment. Eight participants were asked to perform upper limb exercise using exercise equipment, and exercise data were measured through IMU sensors attached to both wrists. As a result of the PCA test, Euler Yaw(Left: 0.65, Right: 0.75), Roll(Left: 0.72, Right: 0.58), and Gyro X(Left: 0.64, Right: 0.63) were identified as the main components in the Butterfly exercise, and Euler Pitch(Left: 0.70, Right 0.70) and Gyro Z(Left: 0.70, Right: 0.71) were identified as the main components in the Lat pull down exercise. As a result of the Paired-T test of the Euler value, Yaw's Peak to Peak at Butterfly exercise and Roll's Mean, Yaw's Mean and Period at Lat pull down exercise were smaller than the significance level of 0.05, proving meaningful difference was found. In the Symmetry Index and Symmetry Ratio analysis, 89% of the subjects showed a tendency of dominant limb maintaining relatively higher angular movement performance then non-dominant limb as the Butterfly exercise proceeds. 62.5% of the subjects showed the same tendency during the Lat pull down exercise. These experimental results indicate that meaningful difference at balance of motion was found according to an increase in number of exercise trials.

This paper implements a simultaneous solar and thermal energy harvesting system, as a hybrid energy harvesting (HEH) system, to convert ambient light into electrical energy through photovoltaic (PV) cells and heat absorbed in the body of PV cells. Indeed, a solar panel equipped with serially connected thermoelectric generators not only converts the incoming light into electricity but also takes advantage of heat emanating from the light. In a conventional HEH system, the diode block is used to provide the path for the input source with the highest value. In this scheme, at each time, only one source can be handled to generate its output, while other sources are blocked. To handle this challenge of combining resources in HEH systems, this paper proposes a method for collecting all incoming energies and conveying its summation to the load via the current mirror cells in an approach similar to the maximum power point tracking. This technique is implemented using off-the-shelf components. The measurement results show that the proposed method is a realistic approach for supplying electrical energy to wireless sensor nodes and low-power electronics.

LiDAR, one of the most important sensing methods used in mobile robots and cars with assistive/autonomous driving functions, is used to locate surrounding obstacles or to build maps. For real-time path generation, the detection of potholes or puddles on the driving surface is crucial. To achieve this, we used the coordinates of the reflection points provided by LiDAR as well as the intensity information to classify water areas, which was achieved by applying a linear regression method to the intensity distribution. The rationale for using the LiDAR index as an input variable for linear regression is presented, and we demonstrated that it is not affected by errors in the distance measurement value. Because of LiDAR vertical scanning, if the reflective surface is not uniform, it is divided into different groups according to the intensity distribution, and a mathematical basis for this is presented. Through experiments in an outdoor driving area, we could distinguish between flat ground, potholes, and puddles, and kinematic analysis was performed to calculate the maximum width that could be crossed for a given vehicle body size and wheel radius.

The Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO) has developed a test module that can vertically ascend and descend with a buoyancy engine to verify the performance of the developed buoyancy engine. The independent test module has been tested in the Ocean Engineering Basin(C.M.Lee et al., 2023). After that, more tests were performed in the Deep Ocean Engineering Basin and at sea. In the 50-meter depth pit test of the Deep Ocean Engineering Basin, there were no problems with the ascent and descent operations, but the buoyancy engine was not properly maintained due to various problems in the independent test module, resulting in a difference between the calculated results using the solution of the equations of motion and the actual measurement results. The East Sea test was conducted at a depth of approximately 110 meters north-east of Pohang, with a dive to 100 meters. The difference between the pressure sensor value and the calculated value was observed, but after checking the results of the underwater position tracking device(USBL, Ultra Short Base Line system), it was estimated that the difference was caused by the influence of the current.

Kodály hand signs are symbols that intuitively represent pitch and note names based on the shape and height of the hand. They are an excellent tool that can be easily expressed using the human body, making them highly engaging for children who are new to music. Traditional hand signs help beginners easily understand pitch and significantly aid in music learning and performance. However, Kodály hand signs have distinctive features, such as the ability to indicate key changes or chords using both hands and to clearly represent accidentals. These features enable the effective use of Kodály hand signs. In this paper, we aim to investigate the changes in recognition rates according to the complexity of scales by creating a device for learning Kodály hand signs, teaching simple Do-Re-Mi scales, and then gradually increasing the complexity of the scales and teaching complex scales and children's songs (such as "May Had A Little Lamb"). The learning device utilizes accelerometer and bending sensors. The accelerometer detects the tilt of the hand, while the bending sensor detects the degree of bending in the fingers. The utilized accelerometer is a 6-axis accelerometer that can also measure angular velocity, ensuring accurate data collection. The learning and performance evaluation of the Kodály learning device were conducted using Python.

WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network)은 센서 노드를 신체에 삽입 또는 부착하여 생체 신호를 지속적으로 모니터링하기 위해 사용하는 네트워크이다. 특히 의료서비스에서 사용하는 센서 노드는 교체가 어렵기 때문에 배터리 전력 소비가 적어야하며, 지속적으로 생체 신호를 모니터링하기 위해서는 데이터의 높은 전송률과 짧은 전송지연 시간을 보장해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 액티브 노드 개수를 추정하여 슈퍼프레임 내 임의접근구간의 길이와 센서 노드의 데이터 전송확률을 동적 할당함으로써 전송지연시간과 에너지 소모량을 감소시키고 안정적인 처리량을 보장하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 추정한 액티브 노드 수는 이전 슈퍼프레임의 채널상태에만 의존하기 때문에 잘못 추정될 가능성이 있다. 따라서 액티브 노드 개수를 추정하여 패턴을 정의한다. 그리고 슈퍼프레임의 임의접근구간 길이와 전송확률을 결정하기 위해 정의된 패턴을 이용하여 추정한 액티브 노드 개수를 보정한다. 제안하는 알고리즘의 성능을 평가하기 위해 Matlab을 통해 WBAN과 동일한 환경을 구성하였다. 실험 결과, IEEE 802.15.6 표준의 Slotted ALOHA 방식과 비교한 결과 처리량은 향상되고 전송지연시간과 에너지 소모량은 줄어드는 것을 확인하였다.

Harnesses are used in a variety of industries, such as rescue operations, medicine, and entertainment. However, conventional harnesses have problems as they are uncomfortable to wear and causes continuous pain. Therefore, in this study, the load and pressure applied to the body in the flying state when using a conventional harness were measured in real time and the distribution change was observed. Load and pressure were measured using a modified corset harness, a pressure sensor, and a human mannequin to measure the maximum and average pressure on the waist. As a result, it was confirmed that the load concentrated on the waist in the flying state was 104 N, and the pressure was applied to the left and right sides was 800 kPa or greater. The pressure distribution showed a pressure of 3-45 kPa in 73% in all measurable pressures. The results of the load and pressure distribution are presented as basic data for improving the wearability and reducing the discomfort of harnesses in the future, aid in the development of a harnesses that can minimize discomfort for various activities, and increase the concentration on experiential activities. In addition, using the CLO 3D program, which is a 3D virtual wearing system, a harness was put on a virtual model, and the compression level was checked and compared with the actual pressure distribution. As a result of comparing the measured pressure values in the flying state with the clothing pressure wearing the harness in the CLO 3D program, the total pressure value was found to be about 68% of the actual measured value. This helps develop a harness that can minimize discomfort during activities by predicting the load and pressure on the body by first applying new designs to a virtual wearing system during development. These new harness patterns can solve the problems of conventional harnesses.
