In this study, an ultrasonic transducer is fabricated with 1-3 type composite resonators. Pulse-echo responses of an ultrasonic transducer are investigated in underwater dependent on the variable designated water-level. LED Output signals of a level limit with changing a water level is obtained by the 1-3 type self-made composite transducer and electric measuring unit. LED is turned on at above the up-limit level with increasing a water level, and LED is turned on at less than the down-limit level with decreasing a water level. There was good agreement between the virtual level and output LED signal by using the self-made water-detecting system.

In the present study, we aim to use nanotechnology sensors/actuators to capture pressure and frequency of voice singers and to send signals for improving breathing pressure. In this regard, a circular composite structure having 3 different layers are used. The core layer is nano-composite material reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets. The face sheets are piezo electric materials connected to electrical circuit capable of measuring and applying voltage to the piezoelectric layers. This sensors have extremely smaller size than conventional sensors attached to the neck of singer and, hence, minimizes the influences on the output voice of the singer. A brief theoretical framework are presented for nonlocal strain gradient theory and geometry of the sensor is described in detail. The controlling procedure along with experimental results on 20 amateur and professional singer participants are also presented. The results of the study indicate that the participants could gain benefit from the device for improving their ability in phonation and keeping their frequency at a constant level although they have difficulty in the beginning of the experiment getting used to the device.

FBG 센서는 기존의 전기저항식 게이지에 비해 구조물의 변형율 계측이 용이하고, 내구성이 우수하여 구조물의 응답 모니터링이나 비파괴손상평가 분야의 적용성에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 또한, 구조물 단면의 상 로의 치환이 가능하며, 이 곡률을 이용하여 수직변위를 계산할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는, FBG 센서를 이용하여 I 형의 강재 단순보에서 충격에 의한 동적 변형율을 측정하고, 이를 이용하여 동적 변위를 추정하여 측정된 동적 변위와 비교 평가하였다. 또한, 추정된 변위와 측정된 변위 및 변형율 시간이력을 이용하여 단순보의 동특성( 고유진동수, 감쇠비 및 모드형상)을 추정하여 해석모델의 동특성과 비교하였다. 변형율을 이용한 변위의 추정은 측정 변위보다 최대 약 10% 정도 크게 나타났다. 그러나 추정된 변위 또는 변형율 이력을 사용하여 추정한 동특성은 측정된 변위를 사용하여 추정한 동특성과 거의 일치하였고, FBG 센서를 이용한 동특성 추정 결과는 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 특히, FBG 센서 변형율은 변위에 비해 고주파 특성이 증폭되기 때문에 고차모드의 동특성 추정에 유리하였다.

FTTH 인프라 구축이 활성화됨에 따라 광섬유의 대역폭을 효과적으로 이용하기 위한 기술들이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 특히, 방송통신 융합 서비스에 대한 관심과 연구가 활발히 진행되면서 하나의 광섬유를 통해 다수의 방송 서비스를 수용할 수 있는 광 비디오 네트워크 단말장치(VONU: Video Optical Network Unit)의 연구가 요구되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 비디오 광 송신장치에서 전광 변환된 디지털 및 아날로그 CATV(Community Antenna TeleVision) 방송 신호와 위성 안테나를 통해 수신되어 전광 변환된 위성방송 신호가 하나의 FITH 광 선로를 통해 전송되고 이를 광전 변환하여 출력하는 VONU를 개발한다. 본 연구에서 개발하는 VONU는 데이터통신 채널을 이용한 IPTV 방송과 함께 CATV, 위성방송 등 모든 방송 콘텐츠를 하나의 광섬유 코어를 통해 전송할 수 있기 때문에 경제적인 방송통신 융합 서비스의 구현이 가능해 진다. 그러나, 서비스 별로 별도의 광수신기를 사용할 경우와는 달리 서비스간 간섭, 신호 왜곡, 잡음비 증가 등에 따른 방송 품질 저하 등의 병존성 문제가 발생하기 때문에 이에 대한 문제를 해결하기 위한 기술들이 필수적이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 제시하는 VONU는 이에 대한 해결방안을 제안한다.

Electric activity of cardiac muscles generates magnetic fields. Magnetocardiography (or MCG) technology, measuring these magnetic signals, can provide useful information for the diagnosis of heart diseases. It is already about 40 years ago that the first measurement of MCG signals was done by D. Cohen using SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) sensor inside a magnetically shielded room. In the early period of MCG history, bulky point-contact RF-SQUID was used as the magnetic sensor. Thanks to the development of Nb-based Josephson junction technology in mid 1980s and new design of tightly-coupled DC-SQUID, low-noise SQUID sensors could be developed in late 1980s. In around 1990, several groups developed multi-channel MCG systems and started clinical study. However, it is quite recent years that the true usefulness of MCG was verified in clinical practice, for example, in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. For the practical MCG system, technical elements of MCG system should be optimized in terms of performance, fabrication cost and operation cost. In this review, development history, technical issue, and future development direction of MCG technology are described.

To improve the safety and life extension qualities of nuclear fuel rods which is currently made of zirconium (Zr) alloy, research on the application of chromium (Cr) coating was conducted. Cr coating has advantages such as increased corrosion resistance and reduced oxidation rate, but non-destructive thickness evaluation studies are needed to ensure the reliability of the steps taken to provide uniform coating thickness. Eddy current testing (ECT) is a representative non-destructive technique for such as thickness evaluation and surface defect inspection. To inspect changes in thickness at micron scale, the Swept Frequency Eddy Current Testing (SFECT) method was applied to select a frequency range sensitive to changes in thickness. The coating thickness was evaluated using changes in signals, such as that for impedance. In this study, basic research was performed to evaluate the thickness of the Cr coating on a rod using an encircling sensor and the SFECT technique. The sensor design parameters were determined through simulation, after which the new sensor was manufactured. A sensor capable of measuring the thickness of a non-uniformly Cr-coating rod was selected through an experiment evaluating the performance of the manufactured sensor. This was done using the impedance-difference of a Cr-coating rod and a Zr alloy rod. The possibility of evaluation of the Cr coating thickness was confirmed by comparing the experimental results with the selected sensor and the signals of the measured Cr-coating rod. All simulation results were verified experimentally.

In this study, By the time that TTX technology is adopted as railway rolling stock, we analyzed quantitatively energy saving by reducing the power consumption with the reduction of the operation time through the speed improvement and suggested the necessity to introduce TTX technology in the domestic rail vehicles. The effect of energy saving by comparing and analyzing the power consumption during the operation by TTX Hanvit 200 and 8200 electric locomotives to pull trains on the same line was suggested and the efficiency of the main devices(i.e C/I) of Hanvit 200 was compared and analyzed by measuring the power consumption by a single unit. For improving KORAIL management environment, reducing energy usage is an urgent challenge, its measures for solving them are constantly considered in many areas. In addition, at the time of improving the conventional track to speed up and changing the signals, Tilting technology will be contributed to the management environment by enlarging the passengers' demand through the reduction of the operation time and saving energy using the existing infrastructure.

In this paper an optical power meter using Hadamard transform, which can be used in multiple channel optical elements alignment system, is proposed. A traditional optical power meter in multiple channel optical elements alignment system is able to judge how well the elements are aligned each other by measuring optical power of the first and the last two channels with at least two detectors. It has critical drawback that the alignment accuracy per channel is dependent on the number of detectors. The proposed optical power meter can get noise reduction by the Hadamard transform based multiplexing technique. The Hadamard transform based multiplexing technique using spatial light modulators is distinguished by the best enhancement of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the reconstructed signals. Moreover, the noise reduction increases with increasing the order of multiplexing, namely the number of optical element channels. The proposed system is implemented by PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) mask which is operated by electric filed and generates optimal multiplexing patterns based on the Hadamard transform and single detector. It means that we obtain not only the each channel's optical power of multiple channel elements at once but also the best enhancement of SNR with single detector. Experimental results show that the proposed optical power meter is suitable for an active optical alignment system for multiple channel optical elements.

In general, CT and Shunt have been traditionally used as a sensor for detecting the partial discharges in order to diagnose the present insulation state of the electric power apparatus. The former is very convenient for the practical application since it is not only non-contact method but its frequency bandwidth and resonance frequency could be designed for its specific application. However, it has been proved to have poor linearity and low sensitivity. For the latter, even though it is an ideal sensor, noise from the power source and the ground could flow into the system. Furthermore, the surge current could be easily come into the measuring systems giving rise to a severe breakdown. In this respect, a hybrid sensor has been designed and fabricated in order to overcome the shortcoming of these two types of sensors. For this purpose, the experimental comparison with commercialized products has been also carried out. In this concept of the hybrid sensor, two different impedances could provide the passage of the signals. In this way, the discrimination of the noise could be accomplished very effectively with high ratio of signal over noise(S/N) under the little influence from the external noises and the breakdown.
