The scanning laser source (SLS) technique has been proposed recently as an effective way to investigate small surface-breaking defects, By monitoring the amplitude and frequency changes of the ultrasound generated as the SLS scans over a defect, the SLS technique has provided enhanced signal-to-noise performance compared to the traditional pitch-catch or pulse-echo ultrasonic methods, An extension of the SLS approach to map defects in microdevices is proposed by bringing both the generator and the receiver to the near-field scattering region of the defects, To facilitate near-field ultrasound measurement, silicon microcantilever probes are fabricated using microfabrication technique and their acoustical characteristics are investigated, Then, both the laser-generated ultrasonic source and the microcantilever probe are used to monitor near-field scattering by a surface-breaking defect.

Vanadium-incorporated aluminophosphate microporous molecular sieve VH-SAPO-42 has been studied by electron spin resonance(ESR) and electron spin-echo modulation (ESEM) spectroscopies to determine the vanadium location and interaction with various adsorbate molecules. The results are interpreted in terms of V(IV) ion location and coordination geometry. Assynthesized VH-SAPO-42 contains only vanadyl species with distorted octahedral or trigonal bipyramidal coordination. Vanadium incorporated into H-SAPO-42 occupied extra-framework site. After calcinations in $O_2$ and exposure to moisture, only species A is observed with reduced intensities. Species A is identified as a $VO(H_2O)_2^{2+}$ complex coordinated to three framework oxygen atoms bonded to aluminum. When hydrated VH-SAPO-42 is dehydrated at elevated temperature by calcination, species A loses its water ligand and transforms to $VO^{2+}$ ions coordinated to three framework oxygens (species B). Species B reduces its intensities significantly after treatment with $O_2$ at high temperature, thus suggesting oxidation of $V^{4+}$ to $V^{5+}$. When dehydrated VH-SAPO-42 makes contact with $D_2O$ at room temperature, the ESR signal of species A is regained. The species is assumed as a $VO(O_f)_3(D_2O)_2$ by considering three framework oxygens. Adsorption of deuterated methanol on dehydrated VH-SAPO-42 results in another new vanadium species D, which is identified as a $VO(CD_3OH)_2$ complex. When deuterated ethylene is adsorbed on dehydrated VH-SAPO-42, another new vanadium species E identified as a $VO(C_2D_4)^{2+}$, is observed. Possible coordination geometries of these various complexes are discussed.

현재 사용중인 초음파 트랜스듀서는 종피 또는 횡피 중 하나를 발생하도록 구성되어 있다. 본 연구는 단일 PZT소자로서 종파와 횡파를 동시에 발생 할 수 있는 2 중 모우드 트랜스듀서 의 초음파 발생 메커니즘을 조사하였다. 분극처리한 압전 세라믹 PZT의 결정구조는 상온에서 hexagonal (6mm) 이다. 트랜스듀서가 종. 횡액를 동시에 큰 강도로 발생하는 최적 절단면을 결정하기 위하여 PZT 소자의 효율을 회전각의 함수로 조사하였다 그리고 선택된 절단면에 대하여 소자의 임피던스 변화를 유한요소법으로 분석하고, pulse-echo 시뮬레이션으로 파형을 관찰하였다. 이론적 결과를 실험을 통해 확인하였다.

We present an experimental implementation of the inexpensive microwave security sensor that can detect both static and slowly moving objects in cluttered environment. The prototype consists of a frequency-modulated continuous wave radar sensor, control board or computer and software. The prototype was tested in a cluttered indoor environment. In case of intrusion or change of environment the sensor will give an alarm, determine the location of new object, change in its location and can detect a slowly moving target. To make a low-cost unit we use commercially available automotive radar and own signal processing techniques for object detection and tracking. The intruder detection is based on a comparison between current 'image' in memory and 'no-intrusion' reference image. The main challenge is to develop a reliable technique for detection of a relatively low-magnitude object signals hidden in multipath clutter echo signals. Various experimental measurements and computations have shown the feasibility and performance of the system.

초음파센서는 저렴성, 단순한 구조, 기계적 강인성, 사용상의 적은 제약 등의 이점 때문에 다양한 응용분야에 적용된다. 그러나 주요 사용 목적으로는 물체의 감지와 거리측정으로 제한된다. 물체의 인식에 초음파센서를 사용하기에는 낮은 분해능을 초래하는 불량한 방향성과 측정오류를 유발하는 반사성의 단점이 있다. 이런 문제를 극복하기 위해 센서의 배열이 사용되어왔다. 즉, 분해능을 개선하기 위해 다양한 센서의 배열형태에서 많은 수의 센서를 사용하거나, 일정 수의 센서를 사용할 경우에는 센서배열을 기계적으로 이동시킨다. 본 논문에서는 센서배열에 단순한 구동 전자회로를 추가하여 센서 시스템의 인식 분해능을 개선하는 실제적인 방범을 제안한다. 구동회로는 송출 구동전압을 다양하게 변화시켜 알려진 센서의 특성에 따라 서로 다른 수신신호의 진폭으로부터 분해능의 개선을 얻는다. 제안된 방법에서는 사용하는 센서의 수를 증가하거나 추가되는 기계적인 구동기를 사용하지 않으며 분해능의 개선을 얻는다.

In this study, the ultrasonic transducer was fabricated with piezoceramic-polymer 1-3 type composites. Pulse-echo response of that transducer in water was investigated with variable water-level. Output of LED was under the control of the signal, which was analyzerd by the self-made Electric Unit. This paper represents automatically water-detecting system with variable water level. There was in good agreement water level between the virtual level and output signal by using the self-made water-detecting system.

Working in a hazardous environment can decrease work efficiency and cause a variety of occupational diseases. To prevent occupational accidents and build a refreshing and pleasant work environment, therefore, it is necessary to develop an application system through which a worker's safety can be monitored on a realtime basis and provide related services. Recently, smartphones have become very popular across the nation, with over 10 million users. As a result, a variety of application services have been developed and provided in diverse sectors. This study proposes a system structure to develop application services which monitor work environment using smartphones and examines its applicability through the implementation of server and client interfaces.

The ability of time reversal techniques to focus ultrasonic beams on the source location is important in many aspects of ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation. In this paper, we investigate the time reversal beam focusing of ultrasonic array sensors on a defect in layered media. Numerical modeling is performed using the commercially available software which employs a time domain finite difference method. Two different time reversal approaches are considered - the through transmission and the pulse-echo. Linear array sensors composed of N elements of line sources are used for signal reception/excitation, time reversal, and reemission in time reversal processes associated with the scattering source of a side-drilled hole located in the second layer of two layer structure. The simulation results demonstrate the time reversal focusing even with multiple reflections from the interface of layered structure. We examine the focusing resolution that is related to the propagation distance, the size of array sensor and the wavelength.

In this paper, we propose an autonomous feeding robot and its obstacle classification system using ultrasonic sensors to secure the driving safety of the robot and efficient feeding operation. The developed feeding robot is verified by operation experiments in a cattle shed. In the proposed classification algorithm, not only the maximum amplitude of the ultrasonic echo signal but also two gradients of the signal and the variation of amplitude are considered as the feature parameters for object classification. The experimental results show the efficiency of the proposed classification method based on the Support Vector Machine, which is able to classify objects or obstacles such as a human, a cow, a fence and a wall.

유한요소법을 이용하여 압전 수중음향센서의 모델링 및 음향특성을 해석하였다. 압전 수중음향센서의 해석에서 기본적인 압전-탄성 구조물과 유체-구조물의 연성해석을 위한 유한요소 정식화를 하였으며 무한영역의 음향유체를 처리하기 위하여 IWEE (Infinite Wave Envelop Element)를 도입하였다. Tonpilz형 수중음향센서를 수중 산란체로 볼 경우 입사파가 산란체의 표면을 가진할 때 산란체로부터 발생되는 산란파는 IWEE로 인하여 무한 유체영역에서의 산란파의 감소특성을 갖게 되어 무한영역을 유한영역으로 나눈 인위적인 경계에서 반사가 일어나지 않게 되므로 산란파의 음압을 정확히 구할 수 있었다. 또한, 이러한 산란해석을 바탕으로 입사파에 대한 음향센서 내부의 전기적 응답특성인 RVS (Receiving Voltage Signal)를 구하였다. 이러한 일련의 연구 과정들은 소나 시스템을 정확히 해석하고 음향특성을 예측하는데 큰 도움이 될 것이다.
