Purpose: The purpose of this is to identify the relationship among the age, body mass index(BMI) and exercise frequency(EF) with knee joint position sense in korean healthy women. Methods: Healthy women of 328 who participated in this study were tested knee joint position sense; reposition error was measured with a Myrin goniometer. Each reposition error was analyzed using descriptive statics, pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: The mean reposition error by age groups was significant decrease getting older. The mean reposition error by BMI groups was significant decrease getting higher. And the mean reposition error by EF groups was significant decrease getting lower. The knee joint position sense showed a significantly correlation with age(r=0.36, p=.00), BMI(r=0.34, p=.00) and EF(r=-0.50, p=.00). The most powerful predictor of knee joint position sense was EF. The reposition error according to stepwise multiple regression is $3.36+(-2.64){\times}EF+0.13{\times}age$, and account for 46%($R^2=0.46$) of the variance in the knee joint position sense. Conclusion: The older the women are, for prevent of knee injuries due to decreased joint position sense, regular exercise is essential factor.

As the NNSS system calculates ship's position by the doppler shift of the NNSS radio waves caused by the change of the distance between Transit Satellite and the ship, ship's speed error inevitably results in the position error, and moreover this kind of erroris most dominant compared with other errors especially in high speed ships and airplanes. Most NNSS receivers now in use have adoptedsuccessive short doppler counts as positioning data and by investigating the dispersion of serval successive positions calculated and by neglecting the mean position having dispersion of over certain threshold level, more accurate adn safe position is to be achieved. This paper proposes the method of finding ship's true speed by selecting a speed having least position dispersion for given successive doppler counts. And by computer simulation it was verified that the method proposed here is reasonable in finding the ship's desired correct speed together with the correct ship's position.

In this paper, we propose a two-input two-output fuzzy controller to improve the performance of transient response and to eliminate the steady state error. The outputs of this controller are the control input calculated by position-type fuzzy controller and the accumulated error scaling factor. Here, the accumulated error scaling factor is adjusted on-line by fuzzy rules according to the current trend of the controlled process. To show the usefulness of the proposed controller, it is applied to several systems that are difficult to get satisfactory response by conventional PD controllers or PI controllers.

The Position Sensitive Detector(PSD) is an useful which can be used to measurement the position of an incidence light in detail and in real-time. In this paper, light sources, to be predefinded positions, are used as landmarks and the 2-D PSD signals are used to compensate the position of a running mobile robot. To induce the position compensation algorithm, first, we inspect the error factor, make the error model, and evaluate the error covariance matrix between the real position and estimated position in dead reckoning system. Next we obtain an optimal position compensation algorithm to update the estimated position using extended Kalman filler by the relation of the external light position and it's PSD signal. Through the simulation of navigating a robot the effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed.

Consistent and realistic error covariance information is important for position estimation, error analysis, fault detection, and integer ambiguity resolution for differential GNSS. In designing a position domain carrier-smoothed-code filter where incremental carrier phases are used for time-propagation, formulation of consistent error covariance information is not easy due to being bounded and temporal correlation of propagation noises. To provide consistent and correct error covariance information, this paper proposes two recursive filter algorithms based on carrier-smoothed-code techniques: (a) the stepwise optimal position projection filter and (b) the stepwise unbiased position projection filter. A Monte-Carlo simulation result shows that the proposed filter algorithms actually generate consistent error covariance information and the neglection of carrier phase noise induces optimistic error covariance information. It is also shown that the stepwise unbiased position projection filter is attractive since its performance is good and its computational burden is moderate.

In this paper, we determined the modulation index for minimization of speed ripple and position error using maximum speed ripple (SRF) and maximum position error(PEF) in current source TPWM inverter. Through computer simulation, we compared with total current harmonic distortion, SRF and PEF for square wave modulation method and TPWM method. As a result, it turns out that square wave modulation method is superior to TPWM method of 3 pulses per half cycle in speed ripple and position error contents. And TPWM is better than square wave method when pulse number is more than 5. Also, in these pulse numbers, moduladtion index of minimum speed ripple and munimum position error is 0.91.

This paper contains a precise calibration technique for the position of seabed acoustic target and theoretical error analysis of calibration results. The target is deployed on seabed as a standalone transponder. The purpose of target is performing accuracy test for active sonar as well as position calibration itself. For the position calibration, relative range between target and test vessel should be measured using target's transponder function. The relative range data combined with vessel position can be converted into a estimated position of target by the application of nonlinear LSE method. The error analysis of position calibration was divided into two stages. One is for relative range estimator and the other for target position estimator. Numerical simulations for position calibration showed good matching between results and developed CRLB.

In this paper, the symmetric position drift of the integration approach in pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) system with dual foot-mounted IMU is analyzed. The PDR system that uses the inertial sensor attached to the shoe is called the IA-based PDR system. Since this system is designed based on the inertial navigation system (INS), it has the same characteristics as the error of the INS, then zero-velocity update (ZUPT) is used to correct this error. However, an error that cannot be compensated perfectly by ZUPT exists, and the trend of the position error is the symmetric direction along the side of the shoe(left, right foot) with the IMU attached. The symmetric position error along the side of the shoe gradually increases with walking. In this paper, we analyze the causes of symmetric position drift and show the results. It suggests the possibility of factors other than the error factors that are generally considered in the PDR system based on the integration approach.

Despite the development of electronic components and microprocessors, hydraulic actuators are still being applied in various applications. In some applications, there is a desire to apply a hydraulic actuator with a relatively small position error to the system. Various studies have been conducted to reduce the position error of hydraulic actuators. In this paper, the position error of the hydraulic actuator when the hydraulic oil pressure is supplied is defined as the offset generated by the servo valve, and the method for correcting the servo valve offset has been studied. A method for compensating the servo valve offset was proposed and it was verified through experiments that the position error of the hydraulic actuator was reduced. We also compared the servo valve offset correction method and controller using the PID control and disturbance observer used to reduce the position error of the hydraulic actuator. No-load test and load test were performed to confirm the performance of the servo valve offset correction method. The results of the study were compared with those obtained by using the disturbance observer and PID control.

Indoor positioning technology has been developed very actively for the smart phone handheld by most users. Especially, many TDOA positioning systems using acoustic signal have been studied, and it estimates the smart phone position by measuring the distance between the smart phone speaker and the microphones which is installed to receive the acoustic signal from the smart phone, and by calculating the hyperbolic equations. But there are always errors for the distance measurements, and furthermore the microphone installation error produces huge position estimation error. In this paper, the position estimation error due to the position error of acoustic sensor in the 3 dimensional TDOA positioning system, is analyzed by PDOP simulation and experiment.
