This paper introduces a technology for robust and low maintenance cost sensor network capable to detect accelerations below a micro-g in a wide frequency bandwidth (above 1,000 Hz). Sensor networks with such performance are critical for navigation, seismology, acoustic sensing, and for the health monitoring of civil structures. The approach is based on the fabrication of an array of high sensitivity accelerometers, each utilizing Fabry-Perot cavity with wavelength-dependent reflectivity to allow embedded optical detection and serialization. The unique feature of the approach is that no local power source is required for each individual sensor. Instead one global light source is used, providing an input optical signal which propagates through an optical fiber network from sensor-to-sensor. The information from each sensor is embedded onto the transmitted light as an intrinsic wavelength division multiplexed signal. This optical "rainbow" of data is then assessed providing real-time sensing information from each sensor node in the network. This paper introduces the Fabry-Perot based accelerometer and examines its critical features, including the effects of imperfections and resolution estimates. It then presents serialization techniques for the creation of systems of arrayed sensors and examines the effects of serialization on sensor response. Finally, a fabrication process is proposed to create test structures for the critical components of the device, which are dynamically characterized.

수술이나 외상 등으로 동맥이나 정맥 속으로 공기가 유입되어 사망을 초래 할 수도 있는 공기 색전증을 신속하고 효율적으로 진단하기 위해 정전용량형 센서를 이용한 공기 감지 장치를 제안하였다. Tygon 튜브에 전극을 형성하여 전기적으로 커패시터를 구성하고, 튜브 내 유전체의 유전상수가 각각 다른 점을 이용하여 정전용량의 변화를 감지함과 동시에 공기의 유무를 검출한다. 변화된 정전용량의 값을 신호처리 회로를 통하여 주파수로 변환하고, 주파수 차이에 따른 공기유입 여부를 자동으로 알려주는 LabVIEW 모니터링 시스템을 구현하였다.

In order to testify the urate lowering effects of Daihwangmudan-tang(DMT), ICR mice were injected monosodium urate into the abdominal cavity and then DMT was administered on 2 and 4 days after Injection. Uric acid and triglyceride were measured as hematological indices of gout, and some genes related with this change were identified by ACP based GeneFishing PCR method and direct sequencing. From this experiment, DMT highly decreased the blood levels of uric acid and significantly suppressed and lowered the acute increment of triglyceride level. There were 11 differentially expressed genes(DEG) having relations with positive actions of DMT, and 4 major genes in the middle of DEGs were sequenced; Mfap 2, jagged 2, Hsd17b7, DkkI-1, These genes were supposed that several mechanisms through interleukin 1 and T-cell anergy, LDL cholesterol metabolism, wnt pathway would be related with the anti-inflammation effect against gout.

Cantilever-detected high-frequency electron spin resonance (ESR) is a powerful method of sub-terahertz and terahertz ESR spectroscopy for a tiny magnetic sample at low temperature. In this technique, a small magnetization change associated with ESR transition is detected as deflection of a sample-mounted cantilever. So far, we have succeeded in ESR detection at 370 GHz using a commercial piezoresistive microcantilever. The spin sensitivity was estimated to ${\sim}10^{12}$ spins/gauss. In order to further increase the sensitivity, we adopt a fiber-optic-based detection system using a Fabry-Perot interferometer in place of piezoresistive system. Fabry-Perot cavity is formed between an optical-fiber end and microcantilever surface, and a change in the interference signal, corresponding to the cantilever deflection, is sensitively detected. This system is suitable for low-temperature and high-magnetic-field experiments because of its compact setup and less heat dissipation. In this study, performance of Fabry-Perot interferometer is evaluated, and its application to cantilever-detected ESR measurement is described.

Gravity method could be one of the most effective tool for evaluating the soundness of basement which is directly correlated with density and its variations. Moreover, Gravimeter is easy to handle and strong to electromagnetic noises. But, gravity anomaly due to the target structures in engineering and environmemtal applications are too small to detect, comparing to the external changes, such as, elevation, topography, and regional geological variations. Gravity method targeting these kinds of small anomaly sources with high precision usually called microgravity. Microgravimetry with precision and accuracy of few ${\mu}Gal$, can be achieved by the recent high-resolution gravimeter, careful field acquisition, and sophisticated processing, analysis, and interpretation routines. This paper describes the application of the microgravity, such as, density structure of a rock fill dam, detection of abandoned mine-shaft, detection and mapping of karstic cavities in limestone terrains, and time-lapse gravity for grout monitoring. The case studies show how the gravity anomalies detect the location of the targets and reveal the geologic structure by mapping density distributions and their variations.

본 연구에서는 층 다짐으로 조성된 지반을 모사한 모형실험에서 지반 공동 발생 시 지반의 이완영역 범위를 추정하기 위해 제작된 이완영역탐지기를 통해 이완영역을 측정하고자 하였다. 세립분과 조립질 토사를 조성한 층상구조로 구성된 지반에 대해 콘 직경의 크기에 따라 영향을 받는 것을 확인하였으며, 이에 따른 적절한 콘을 선정하기 위해 크기효과 실험을 수행한 결과 적절한 초소형콘을 설정할 수 있었다. 또한, 본 연구에서 적용된 LAD를 이용하는 경우 실내모형실험 지반의 다짐정도에 따른 경계면 및 상대밀도 차에 의한 관입저항치의 급격한 변화에 따라 지반의 이완상태를 파악할 수 있었다. 지반내 관입저항특성을 통해 공동주변부에서 발생하는 이완영역의 범위를 추정하였으며, 이완영역에서 관입저항력의 감소율을 통해 파괴 발생 영역을 확인하였다.

I will presents the analysis of the gas properties of the protoplanetary disk surrounding the young low-mass (about 1.2M_sun) triple star, GG Tau A. This work makes use of ALMA observations of rotational lines of CO (¹²CO, ¹³CO and C¹⁸O) together NOEMA observations of a few dozens of other molecules. While the CO emission gives information on the molecular layer close to the disk atmosphere, its less abundant isotopologues ¹³CO and C¹⁸O bring information much deeper in the molecular layer. I will present the analysis of the morphology and kinematics of the gas disk using the CO isotopologues. A radiative transfer model of the ring in CO isotopologues will also be presented. The subtraction of this model from the original data reveals the weak emission of the molecular gas lying inside the cavity. Thus, I am able to evaluate the properties of the gas inside the cavity, such as the gas dynamics, excitation conditions, and the amount of mass in the cavity. High angular resolution observations of CO reveals sprials induced by embedded planet(s) located near the 3:2:1 mean-motion resonance that help to explain the special morphology of the circumbinary disk. I also discuss some chemical properties of the GG Tau A disk. I report the first detection of H2S and C₂S in a protoplanetary disk. The molecule abundance relative to ¹³CO of about twenties other molecules will also be given. In GG Tau A, the detections of rare molecules such as H₂S and C₂S have been probably possible because the disk is more massive (a factor about 3-5) than other disks where the molecules was searched. Such a large disk mass makes the system suitable to detect rare molecules and to study cold-chemistry in protoplanetary disks.

Vibration control of a composite plate with a surface-bonded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor and piezoceramic actuators has been performed using a neural network based adaptive predictive control algorithm. For the detection of Bragg wavelength changes, two cavity lengths in Fabry-Perot read-out interferometers are used in order to produce two quadrature phase shifted signals. The FBG sensor system and real-time neuro-adaptive control algorithm could be applicable to diverse dynamic systems.

Lip reading is a field of image processing to assist the process of sound recognition. In some environment, the capture of sound signal usually has significant noise and therefore, the recognition rate of sound signal decreases. Lip reading can be a good feature for the increase of recognition rates. Conventional lip extraction methods have been proposed widely. Maia et. al. proposed a method by the sum of Cr and Cb. However, there are two problems as follows: the point with maximum saturation is not always regarded as lips region and the inner part of lips such as oral cavity and teeth can be classified as lips. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a method which adopts the histogram-based classifier for the extraction of lips region. The proposed method consists of two stages, learning and test. The amount of computation is minimized because this method has no color conversion. The performance of proposed method gives 66.8% of detection rate compared to 28% of conventional ones.
