We investigated a nanoscale inertia sensor based on telescoping carbon nanotubes, using classical molecular dynamics simulations. The position of the telescoping nanotubes is controlled by the centrifugal force exerted by the rotation platform, thus, position shifts are determined by the capacitance between carbon nanotubes and the electrode, and the operating frequency of the carbon nanotube oscillator. This measurement system, tracking oscillations of the carbon nanotube oscillator, can be used as the sensor for numerous types of devices, such as motion detectors, accelerometers and acoustic sensors.

This paper proposes a method to generate panoramic images by combining conventional feature extraction algorithms (e.g., SIFT, SURF, MPEG-7 CDVS) with sensed data from inertia sensors to enhance the stitching results. The challenge of image stitching increases when the images are taken from two different mobile phones with no posture calibration. Using inertia sensor data obtained by the mobile phone, images with different yaw, pitch, and roll angles are preprocessed and adjusted before performing stitching process. Performance of stitching (e.g., feature extraction time, inlier point numbers, stitching accuracy) between conventional feature extraction algorithms is reported along with the stitching performance with/without using the inertia sensor data. In addition, the stitching accuracy of video data was improved using the same sensed data, with discrete calculation of homograph matrix. The experimental results for stitching accuracies and speed using sensed data are presented in this paper.

본 논문은 수평을 유지하여 촬영해야 한다는 기존 이미지 스티칭을 이용한 영상 정합 과정의 단점을 극복하기 위하여, 스마트폰의 가속도 센서와 자기장 센서 데이터를 사용하여 3가지 자유도(3 DoF)에 강인한 이미지 스티칭 방법을 제안한다. 이미지를 붙이는 작업인 이미지 스티칭은 크게 이미지 특징점 추출, 추출된 특징점에서 매칭에 필요한 참인 점(inlier)을 선별, 참인 점을 호모그래피(homography) 행렬로 변환, 호모그래피 행렬을 사용하여 이미지를 왜곡(warping), 왜곡된 이미지와 다른 이미지를 합하는 과정으로 이루어져 있다. 본 논문에서는 일반적으로 사용하는 SIFT, SURF 등의 알고리즘뿐만 아니라 MPEG에서 표준화한 MPEG-7 CDVS(Compact Descriptor for Visual Search) 표준의 특징점 추출 알고리즘을 사용하여 이미지의 특징점을 추출한다. 또한 각 알고리즘의 특징점 추출시간, 추출된 특징점 개수, 선별된 참인 점의 개수를 비교하고, 스티칭 정확도를 판단하여 본 연구에서 활용한 데이터에 어느 알고리즘이 효율적인지 살펴본다.

This paper presents an Intelligent Balance Beam Controller(IBBC) which can estimate the inertia of load automatically. Balance Beam controller is a kind of construction tool which can control the attitude of the load hanging in the air such as a beam carried by crane. In our previous work, Balance Beam had been built to control the object in air using a mechanical gyro system having a position controllable gimbal structure. In field application the load inertia for operation is not easy to figure out because the weight and shape which determines the inertia, varies depending on the object to be carried. Therefore it is difficult for a worker to operate a Balance Beam and an accident could be caused occasionally. We designed an automatic load estimator to measure the inertia of arbitrary load by using an angular velocity sensor that is installed on the Balance Beam. Simulation results and current status for implementation are presented.

The turbocharger is an essential component to realize the engine down-sizing. The moment of inertia of turbocharger rotor is an important parameter with respect to acceleration performance of the vehicle. It can be calculated from the CAD software based the geometry data and the material properties. But the accurate value of the inertia of turbocharger rotor must be measured through the experimental method. In this study, the measurement of moment of inertia of turbocharger rotor for 2.0 L spark-ignition engine was carried out. First, an experimental equipment using a trifilar method was designed and fabricated. Some optical devices, that is, photo sensor, counter, convex lens, etc, were used to increase the accuracy of the measurement. Second, error sensitivity for the equipment was analyzed. The error of period time and the radius can give big affects to the accuracy of the moment of inertia. When the amount of error of these two were each 1.0 %, maximum error of the moment of inertia was under 3.0 %. Third, the calibration for the equipment was performed using a calibration rotor which has similar shape to turbine rotor but simple. Calculated value from CAD software and measured one for the calibration rotor were compared. The total error of the equipment and the measurement is about 1.3 %. This result shows that the equipment can give the good result with resonable accuracy. Finally the moment of inertia of the turbine rotor and compressor wheel were measured. The coefficient of variations, the ratio of standard deviation to mean value, were reasonably small at 0.57 % and 0.73 % respectively. Therefore this equipment is suitable for the measurement of the moment of inertia of the turbine rotor and compressor wheel.

Using the gyro effect, Balance Beam Controller is developed with Samsung Corporation. Balance Beam Controller is possible to control the position of an object in air by controlling the attitude of inner gimbal. But in the unknown load inertia case, even a skilled worker it is not easy to operate a Balance Beam. That is caused by the difficulty to estimate the load inertia. If the amount of the gimbal operation is set excessively with a wrong load estimation, it can often cause accidents. To solve this problem, the control function which is revolving with velocity of the revolution has to be added to developed equipment. In this research, we analyze the characteristics of a Balance Beam(the smaller load inertia, the bigger force of restitution) using the angular velocity sensor, and present constant velocity revolving controller with estimating value of the load using this moving characteristics.

It is necessary to detect the tilt angle for control or monitoring of various systems such as ship, aircraft recreation facilities etc as well as bridge or building systems. However the electronic liquid charge type tilt sensor which is one of typical tilt sensor has many problems. Those are remarkably slow response time and limited mounting condition because or liquid viscosity coefficient and inertia etc. In this study we propose a tilt angle instrumentation method using piezoelectricity acceleration sensor. The method can he applied on moving mount We verified the validity of the method through experiment.

The number of knee-related disease patients and knee joint surgeries is steadily increasing every year, and for knee rehabilitation training for these knee joint patients, it is necessary to strengthen the muscle of vastus medialis and quadriceps femoris. However, because of the cost and time-consuming difficulties of receiving regular hospital treatment in the course of knee rehabilitation, we developed knee exoskeleton using rapid prototype for knee rehabilitation with feedback from the electromyogram (EMG) and inertia motion unit (IMU) sensor. The modules was built on the basis of EMG and an IMU sensor applied complementary filter, measuring muscle activity in the vastus medialis and the range of joint operation of the knee, and then performing the game based on this measurement. The IMU sensor performed up to 97.2% accuracy in experiments with ten subjects. The functional game contents consisted of an exergaming platform based on EMG and IMU for the real-time monitoring and performance assessment of personalized isometric and isotonic exercises. This study combined EMG and IMU-based functional game with knee rehabilitation training to enable voluntary rehabilitation training by providing immediate feedback to patients through biometric information, thereby enhancing muscle strength efficiency of rehabilitation.
