This study developed an image processing system for detecting damages on underground spiral PVC pipes. The detection method is simple-identifying damaged areas by measuring circularity along the pipeline. This uses the assumption that damage parts will not make a circular shape. Conventional devices check the circular shape of the pipe along the pipeline by measuring the angles between 6 spring-connected legs on the device. The conventional device, however, requires the insertion of 3 different wires (electrical, communication, and camera lines) along with a guide wire for pulling the device. The developed system presented here has simplified this system, requiring only a camera line while maintaining reasonable accuracy in damage detection.

The characteristics of construction work cause excessive strain on specific body parts of the construction craft workers. However, there are few tools to mane an accurate measurement of the load on the musculoskeletal system, and the musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) experienced by the workers have not been properly understood. So, there is an urgent need for development of a tool to measure the load on the musculoskeletal system. Therefore, this research aims to develop a musculoskeletal load measuring device for construction workers. In order to eliminate the noise and errors, an accelerometer, gyro sensors and the Kalman Filter are used in the device developed in this research.

Tn this study an ophthalmic outflow facility measuring device is developed and experimentally tested. This system employs pressure sensors and linear positioning device to regulate solution reservoir height, the pressure of eye ball. The experimental result show that the system works well even in harsh environment so that it can be implemented in ophthalmic practice as well as in biomedical research.

The purpose of this study is to develop an improved measuring system, which allows for effectively measure spring clamping forces. This system consists of eight or twelve measuring points in order to acquire the clamping force distribution of the whole range of spring clamp. Each measuring point consists of load cells equipped with 4 strain gauges. Using different bearings, we calibrate the roundness of the measuring points. For quality control and database construction, a software system is established. furthermore, uncertainty is calculated to validate the confidence of this system. Various experiments confirm the effectiveness of this measuring system.

This paper describes the development of the new type equilibrium sensation measuring system for human with handicap in the equilibrium sensation. The medium and small hospital could not use the developed equilibrium sensation measuring system, because it is very high prices. Therefore, the new type system should be developed to measure the numerical value of the equilibrium sensation in human with handicap. In this paper, First, two 3-axis force/moment sensors which can measure force Fz, moments Mx and My simultaneous were designed and manufactured, second, the high speed measuring device which can acquire the output from two 3-axis force/moment sensors, third, the new type equilibrium sensation measuring system was developed, then the characteristic test of the developed equilibrium sensation measuring system carried out, it is confirmed that the system could measure the swing body of human with handicap.

염전의 자동화 시스템 구성을 위해서는 증발지의 염도 및 수위 측정이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 2개의 고정된 부력체의 부력을 측정하여 함수의 염도 및 수위를 동시에 측정할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 측정방식은 측정 장치가 함수에 잠기게 될 때 주부력체와 비교부력체의 부력을 측정하고, 두 부력의 합과 차를 통해 염도와 수위를 동시에 측정하는 것이다. 부력의 측정에 기계적인 움직임이 없어서 뻘이 포함된 염전의 환경에서 측정 오류와 유지보수가 필요성을 줄일 수 있다. 제안된 방법을 적용하여 염전의 증발지에서 원격으로 염도 및 수위를 동시에 측정할 수는 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 여러 수준의 염도를 갖는 기준함수를 사용한 측정 실험을 통하여 염도 오차 0%, 수위 오차 2mm의 결과를 얻고, 제안된 염도 및 수위 측정 장치의 유효성을 확인하였다. 개발된 염도 및 수위 측정 장치를 활용하여 자동화 시스템을 구성할 경우 노동력 절감 및 작업 환경 개선과 생산성 증진이 기대된다.

An IoT-based particulate matter (PM2.5) sensing device (PSD) is developed. The PSD consists of a PM2.5 sensor, signal processing circuit, and wi-fi enabled-microprocessor along with temperature and humidity sensors. The PSD estimates PM2.5 density by measuring light scattered by PM2.5. To gauge performance of the PSD, PM2.5 density of open air was measured with the PSD and compared with that of the collocated-government-certified measuring station. Measurements were taken at a sampling frequency of 100 Hz and moving-averaged to remove measurement noise. When compared to the result of the measuring station, average percentile error of PM2.5 density from the PSD is found to be 31%. A correlation coefficient is found to be 0.72 which indicates a strong correlation. Instantaneous variation, however, may far exceed average errors, leading to a conclusion that the PSD is more suitable for estimating average trend of PM2.5 density variations than estimating instantaneous PM2.5 density.

가로축 방식이 아닌 세로축 방식으로 초음파를 송수신하여 골밀도 측정을 하는 장치를 개발하였다. 반사된 초음파의 시간 차이를 이용하는 speed of sound (SOS) 방식은 주파수 차이를 비교하는 broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) 방식에 비하여 더욱 정확한 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 측정부위의 경우 엄지는 초음파 수신율이 좋으나 피부 두께의 변위가 많은 단점을 고려하여 중지를 채택하여 정확성을 높였다. SOS 방식만을 사용하여 측정한 결과 기존의 dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) 방식과 비교하여 거의 동일한 정확도를 얻을 수 있었다.

Spasticity is a velocity-dependent stretch reflex disorder of the body motor system developing after the injury of the central nervous system, in which certain muscles are continuously contracted involuntarily. Conventional methods such as the modified Ashworth scale, Spasm frequency scale, pendulum test and isokinetic dynamometer had some disadvantages: limitation in discriminating the increase of resistance, immovable and expensive device, not enough study parameters. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce clinically more useful instrument, which can produce objective data and are more convenient on spasticity measurement. Spasticity measuring methods were reviewed and a new measuring instrument was designed and introduced. The new measuring system is a portable spasticity-measurement system, which encompass various scopes of spasticity-related human signals such as electrophysiologic, kinematic and biomechanical data. Our device was designed in order to measure the joint angle, angular velocity, electromyographic signals and force. We suggest that this new system can diagnose the spasticity of the muscles, objectively.

In this study, an experiment was conducted using a 3D scanner, commonly used in reverse engineering techniques, and the newly introduced CT measuring machine. The hole, width, and angle of specimens having various shapes were designated, the error rates in dimensional modelling generated during scanning with each device were compared, and the models were printed using a 3D printer. A secondary comparative analysis of the two printed specimens was conducted; the causes of dimension errors that occur during the printing process after scanning with each device and the differences associated with variation in shape were also analyzed. Based on the analysis results, the featured shape for each scanning application method and issues to consider in reverse engineering were presented, and the use of the CT measuring machine was recommended as a method to minimize error rates in dimensions and ensure efficient reverse engineering.
