  • Purpose: The purposes of this study were to establish the concurrent validity of the universal goniometer and electronic inclinometer for ankle joint of motion, and to determine the inter-tester and the intra-tester reliability of these two instruments. Methods: Subjects were instructed 25 healthy subjects. Ankle range of motion was measured on two separate occasions 2 or 3 days by two physical therapists. Ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion was by using an universal goniometer and an electronic inclinometer. Results: The Pearson product-moment correlation between the two instruments was 0.78~0.80. The ICCs for inter-tester reliability ranged from 0.63 to 0.73 for universal goniometer and ranged from 0.81 to 0.88 for electric inclinometer. The ICCs for intra-tester reliability showed a wide variation(ICC=0.61 to 0.86). Conclusion: These findings indicate that the two instruments are reliable instruments for measuring ankle joint range of motion. The results also indicate that the two instruments can be used interchangeably for measuring ankle motions.

  • The attitude control, sensors and camera installed on the spacecraft should be located according to the system alignment requirement. The alignment measurement requirement accuracy for the sensors should be below $\pm$0.1. Therefore, Alignment Measurement System which is combined theodolite, Rotating table and digital inclinometer etc., should be used. As the measurement accuracy is required very precise, the appropriate measurement procedure and alignment angle measurement, calculation and shimming work should is accomplished. Consequently, this paper is accomplished the works to align the measurement requirement accuracy throughout alignment measurement and shimming work of installed module and sensor

  • This Paper Proposes A Robust Image Stabilization System For A Mobile Robot Using An Extended Kalman Filter (Ekf). Though Image Information Is One Of The Most Efficient Data Used For Robot Navigation, It Is Subjected To Noise Which Is The Result Of Internal Vibration As Well As External Factors Such As Uneven Terrain, Stairs, Or Marshy Surfaces. The Camera Vibration Deteriorates The Image Resolution By Destroying The Image Sharpness, Which Seriously Prevents Mobile Robots From Recognizing Their Environment For Navigation. In This Paper, An Inclinometer Was Used To Measure The Vibration Angle Of The Camera System Mounted On The Robot To Obtain A Reliable Image By Compensating For The Angle Of The Camera Vibration. In Addition The Angle Prediction Obtained By Using The Ekf Enhances The Image Response Analysis For Real Time Performance. The Experimental Results Show The Effectiveness Of The Proposed System Used To Compensate For The Blurring Of The Images.

  • This study is analysis for adjacent structures and ground movement by deep excavation work. Underground Inclinometer has shown that deformation of increment is minor within to allowable limit. According to the measurements result of slope and crack for adjacent structures, a detached house showed bigger than hospital structure to deformation of increment. Variation of underground water level didn't effect so much to ground and adjacent structures movement because underground water flows in rock and didn't give the water press to propped walls. Measurement data of strut variation is within tolerance limit. Because excavation site's wall was strengthened suitably. This study will contribute in establishment of measurement standard and information-oriented construction during deep excavation in multi-layered ground including rock masses.

  • To find a lateral long term behavior of driven H-piles in embankment, inclinometer is installed at pile and measurement is done during a year. When behavior of measured slope angles is in accord with behavior of nonlinear p-y curves(Reese, Murchison and O'Neil, Matlock's p-y analysis), maximum displacement of pile head, maximum stress and maximum bending moment of pile obtained from the numerical analysis are shown. As results, maximum lateral displacement at pile head, maximum stress and maximum bending moment of pile are shown linear behavior, And maximum lateral load, maximum lateral displacement, and maximum bending moment at pile obtained from the numerical analysis are 8∼12.4tonf, 9∼10.1㎜, and 10.39∼12.67tonf-m per pile according to the curves, respectively.

  • Geotechnial engineering projects that requires excavation activity can cause massive ground deformation and this can damage adjacent structures. Depending on the engineering characteristics of ground material and the excavation depth, the ground movement is various. To overcome this issue, the ground deformation is monitored by multiple sensors. Typically, an inclinometer is installed behind the support wall. In this paper, we present an adaptive duty-cycling control mechanism using wireless sensors for monitoring ground deformation in excavations. The proposed mechanism dynamically adjusts the sleep time based on the urgency degree of sensed data from inclinometer. Through analytical evaluation of expected latency time, we confirm our adaptive duty-cycling mechanism has lower latency compared with periodic duty-cycling mechanism under variable conditions.
