We developed an improved 3-PM liquid scintillation counting (3-PM LSC) method in which three detectors can be displaced to back and forth directions, and a data acquisition system being able to provide the values for all parameters required for the method. The detectors are entirely located in a 20-mm lead chamber of an inner diameter of 500 mm. A saw-toothed gear ties up all detectors so as to move them uniformly, up to 50 mm with unit of 1 mm. The data acquisition system was designed in an integrated circuit to perform the necessary works such as fast amplification, discrimination, coincidence and logic analysis. It generates values of nine parameters among twelve's generated in the 3-PH LSC method. The dead time of each counting channel is of extending type, valving from 10 to 100 $mutextrm{s}$. We measured the TDCR values with an unquenched liquid scintillation source 1"C by displacing the detectors with a step of 2.5 mm away from counting vial. Their values were derived on the range from 0.9 to 0.6. The extent is three times wider than those regions observed by applying the defocalization technique.ique.

분산 트리거 계수 문제는 외부로부터 트리거를 수신하는 n개의 노드로 구성된 분산 시스템에서 수신한 전체 트리거 수의 합이 w에 이르렀을 때 이를 사용자에게 알려주는 문제로 무선 센서 네트워크를 포함한 다양한 분산 시스템 환경에서 모니터링과 전역 스냅샷을 위해 사용된다. 이 논문에서는 분산 트리거 계수 문제를 위한 간단하고 효율적인 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 알고리즘은 차수가 $\sqrt{n}$이고 높이가 2인 트리 구조를 기반으로 동작하며, 남은 트리거 수에 따라 세 단계의 서로 다른 방식으로 동작한다. 제안 알고리즘에서 수신한 전체 트리거 수의 합이 w에 이르렀을 때 이를 사용자에게 알려주지 않을 확률이 0임을 증명하였고, 실험을 통해 제안 알고리즘이 CoinRand에 비해 더 작은 메시지 복잡도를 가지며 노드 수가 많지 않을 때는 MaxRcv 또한 더 작음을 보여주었다.

인원을 계수하기 위한 시스템은 기존에 다양한 방법으로 이루어지고 있다. 기존 시스템의 계수방식으로는 적외선 센서, 레이저, 카메라 등이 있는데 이러한 기존 시스템의 경우에는 천장, 벽의 측면 등과 같이 공간에 대한 제약이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 다수의 압전소자가 포함된 압전매트를 이용하여 보행자의 발걸음을 검출하고 압전매트에서 수집된 데이터를 활용하여 동시에 통과하는 보행 인원을 계수하는 방법을 제시한다. 보행자가 압전매트 위를 지나갈 경우, 수집한 센서 데이터를 SPI 통신을 이용하여 종합하고 TCP/IP 통신을 이용해 PC서버로 전송하는 방식의 통신시스템을 이용하였다. 성능분석 결과, 약 600개가량의 발걸음 데이터에서 99% 정도의 정확도로 인식하는 결과를 얻었다. 이를 통해 다른 인원 계수 시스템의 단점을 극복하고자 한다.

Integral imaging combined with photon-counting detection has been researched for three-dimensional information sensing under low-light-level conditions. This paper addresses the extraction of distance information with photon-counting integral imaging. The longitudinal distance to the object is obtained utilizing photon-counting elemental images. The pixel disparity is estimated by maximizing the nonlinear correlation of photocounts. The first- and second-order statistical properties of the nonlinear correlation are theoretically derived. In the experiments, these properties are verified by varying the mean number of photocounts in the scene. The average distance is compared to that from the intensity information, showing the robustness of the proposed system even at low photocounts.

In this paper, an ARS-EKF based motion counting algorithm for repetitive exercises such as calisthenics is proposed using a smartwatch. Raw sensor signals from accelerometers and gyroscopes are widely used for conventional smartwatch counting algorithms based on pattern recognition. However, generated features from raw data are not intuitive to reflect the movement of motions. The proposed motion counter algorithm is composed of navigation based feature generation and counting with error correction. The candidate features for each activity are velocity and attitude calculated through an ARS-EKF algorithm. In order to select those features which reveal the characteristics of each motion, an exercise frame from the initial sensor frame is introduced. Counting processes are basically based on the zero crossing method, and misdetected counts are eliminated via simple classification algorithms considering the frequency of the counted motions. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm efficiently and accurately counts the number of exercises.

본 논문에서는 모바일 환경에서 미세세포 영상으로부터 셀을 자동 검출하고 계수하는 자동화 방법을 제시하였다. 셀 카운팅은 생물학 또는 병리학적 영상분석에 있어서 매우 중요한 과정이다. 과거에는 셀 카운팅은 수동적인 방법으로 진행되어 매우 지루하고 많은 시간을 필요로 하는 작업이었다. 이에 더하여 수동 계수 방법은 정확한 카운팅 결과를 도출하는데 어려움이 있었다. 따라서, 정확하고 일관된 셀 검출과 카운팅 결과를 생물학적인 영상으로부터 획득하기 위해서는 자동화방법이 필요하다. 제안된 다단계 셀 계수방법은 배양된 세포영상으로부터 셀을 자동으로 분할하고 분할된 셀의 위상학적 분석을 통하여 셀을 라벨링 한다. 셀 카운팅의 정확도를 높이기 위하여 워터쉐드 알고리듬에 의하여 서로 덩어리로 뭉쳐진 셀을 서로 분리하고 모폴로지 연산을 통하여 영상으로부터 획득한 개별 셀의 형태를 개선한다. 제안된 시스템은 모바일 환경에서 사용될 수 있도록 개발되었다. 따라서 셀 영상은 모바일 폰의 카메라로 획득하며 미세세포의 통계학적인 분석 데이터는 유비쿼터스 환경의 모바일 장치에 의해 전송 된다. 실험을 통하여 수동으로 계수한 셀의 숫자와 제안된 방법에 의해 자동 카운팅 된 셀의 수를 비교한 결과 제안된 방법이 매우 효과적이고 정확한 결과를 제시한다는 사실을 입증하였다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest guidelines for riser fatigue analysis in terms of selection of reasonable analysis method. Three analysis methods (spectral, regular wave, rain-flow counting) are introduced and compared. As the riser systems give non-linear response, the time-domain analysis method is more preferred than frequency-domain analysis method. The spectral fatigue analysis method, however, is still useful for identifying fatigue prone areas. Once stress RAO is established, fatigue damage can be calculated very quickly. The regular wave method and the rain-flow counting method are more time consuming but give more exact results compare to spectral method. In case of regular wave method, a set of regular waves which represent random sea states is considered for dynamic analysis. The rain-flow counting method is the most intuitive and exact method because it refers time history stresses containing most of non-linear effects of the riser system. However, it is not common for early design stage to use rain-flow counting method because of its high cost. In this study, it was confirmed that the regular wave method is the most cost effective way in specific cases. However, if the system is highly non-linear, it seems that the regular wave method gives less accurate results than rain-flow counting method. Therefore, it is imperative that the engineers select appropriate analysis method based on design stage and given engineering period. This paper also discusses the theoretical background of each calculation method and hydrodynamic aspects of marine riser systems. A steel catenary riser (SCR) line on FPSO was considered and marine dynamic program (OrcaFlex) was used for static and dynamic analysis.

In this paper, particle counting system using a CMOS image sensor is demonstrated. The system utilizes a linear photodetector array as a detection element. Therefore, the particles are detected by large detection region, in contrast to a single detector in conventional particle counting devices, while maintaining the sensitivity. The advantage of proposed system is that particles are detected in a relatively large area without using the particle focusing method. Also, proposed system can be easily integrated with a microfluidic chip by attaching the device underneath the bottom plate of the microfluidic chip. Detection of polystyrene microbeads has been tested at a flow rate of 4.89mm/s. For 21 measurements, proposed system showed an average count error of 7.29% and a standard deviation of 4.74%. Potentially, the proposed system can detect even smaller particles simply by utilizing a higher resolution CMOS image sensor.

A reliable automatic passenger counting (APC) system is a key point in transportation related to the efficient scheduling and management of transport routes. In this study, we introduce a lightweight head detection network using deep learning applicable to an embedded system. Currently, object detection algorithms using deep learning have been found to be successful. However, these algorithms essentially need a graphics processing unit (GPU) to make them performable in real-time. So, we modify a Tiny-YOLOv3 network using certain techniques to speed up the proposed network and to make it more accurate in a non-GPU environment. Finally, we introduce an APC system, which is performable in real-time on embedded systems, using the proposed head detection algorithm. We implement and test the proposed APC system on a Samsung ARTIK 710 board. The experimental results on three public head datasets reflect the detection accuracy and efficiency of the proposed head detection network against Tiny-YOLOv3. Moreover, to test the proposed APC system, we measured the accuracy and recognition speed by repeating 50 instances of entering and 50 instances of exiting. These experimental results showed 99% accuracy and a 0.041-second recognition speed despite the fact that only the CPU was used.
