무선 센서 네트워크(Wireless Sensor Network : WSN)는 U-City 같은 우리 삶의 편의성 향상을 위한 서비스에 활용은 물론이거니와 환경오염, 터널 및 건축물의 붕괴, 태풍, 지진 등의 재난 감시, 위험물 진단 시스템 등에 다양하게 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 WSN을 다양한 형태의 휴대 단말 및 네트워크 카메라와 연동하여 보다 효율적이고 가치 있는 정보 서비스 제공을 위한 MUSNEMO(Multi-sensor centric Ubiquitous Smart sensor NEtwork using MObile devices) 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안된 시스템은 IEEE 802.15.4 표준을 기반으로 스마트 센서 네트워크를 구성하며, 또한 제안한 시스템 구조의 활용성 검증을 위하여 다섯가지 응용 센서(자기, 조도, 소리, 모션, 진동)를 가진 망을 구성하여 센싱 이벤트 요청 및 제공 테스트를 수행하였다.

본 논문에서는 차량환경에서 잔향과 근접장 효과에 의해 발생하는 목적 음성 신호의 왜곡을 감소시킬 수 있는 마이크로폰 어레이 빔형성 기법을 제안하였다. 온라인으로 추정하기 어려운 소스와 마이크간의 전달함수 대신 상대적으로 추정이 용이한 기준 마이크와 다른 마이크간의 상대전달함수를 조향 벡터로 이용함으로써, 원격장 모델의 조향 벡터를 이용한 빔형성기에 비해 목적 음성 신호의 왜곡을 감소시킬 수 있는 준최적 빔형성 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법의 성능을 검증하기 위해, 실제 차량에서 녹음된 음성 DB를 구축하고, 이를 이용하여 HTK를 통한 음성인식 실험을 수행하였다. 음성인식 실험 결과 원격장 모델을 이용한 방법보다 인식률이 최대 $15\%$까지 향상됨을 확인하였다.

Authors devised an objective test for nasal resonatory disorders using a vibratory sensor(Piezoelectric receiver) which is relatively cheap. The vibratory sensor was covered with duralumin to eliminate contamination of acoustic sound except a small hole which is attached on ala nasi during the test. Electrical signals front the vibratory sensor and the microphone while the subject is phonating vowel/a/ and nasal consonant /ng/ and phonating 8 syllable sentence /papa/ passage and /mama/ passage were digitized with n 12 bit A/D converter. For the evaluation of the hypernasality, the ratio of /ng/ to /a/ and /mama/ passage to /papa/ passage were used instead of individual values to reduce the observational error. For the evaluation of the hyponasality, the cul-de-sac resonation was induced by obstructing the nasal aperture of the ipsilateral side with the finger. In the normal control group, the ratio of /ng/ to /a/ and /mama/ passage to /papa/ passage was larger than 8. In the hypernasality with nasal emission group. the ratio was decreased markedly(p＜0.01). When the nasal aperture was obstructed with the finger, the vibratory signals of /a/ and /ng/ were increased markedly in the control group and hypernasality group(p＜0.01). However, in the hyponasality group(severe), the increment was minimal. So this system can be used to detect the nasal resonatory disorders objectively and differentiate the hypernasality front hyponasality easily.

The oscillometric method and Korotkoff sound method are the most common ways to measure the blood pressure. A new automatic blood pressure measurement device, which uses both oscillometric method and Korotkoff method, was developed. A pressure sensor was used to obtain cuff pressure and oscillation signal, and a microphone was used to detect Korotkoff sounds. Forty-five measurements from fifteen subjects were used for analysis. Correlation coefficients between the traditional auscultatory method and Korotkoff sound method were 0.9820 and 0.9721 for the systolic and diastolic blood pressure values, respectively. Standard deviations of differences for the systolic and diastolic blood pressure values were 1.3019 and 1.4495, respectively. Correspondingly, correlation coefficients between the traditional auscultatory method and oscillometric method using newly developed algorithm were 0.9651 and 0.9136 for the systolic and diastolic blood pressure values, with the standard deviations of 1.42 and 1.73, respectively. The results showed that the newly developed algorithm for oscillometirc method provide accurate blood pressure values, moreover, Korotkoff sound method using microphone provides even higher accuracy. Therefore, a new automatic device which utilizes both oscillometric method and Korotkoff sound method would provide the accurate and reliable blood pressure values.

The piezoelectric bimorph film, which, as an actuator, can generate more effective displacement than the usual PVDF film, is used to control the turbulent boundary-layer flow. The change of wall pressures inside the turbulent boundary layer is observed by using the multi-channel microphone array flush-mounted on the surface when actuation at the non-dimensional frequency $f_b^+$:=0.008 and 0.028 is applied to the turbulent boundary layer. The wall pressure characteristics by the actuation to produce local displacement are more dominantly influenced by the size of the actuator module than the actuation frequency. The movement of large-scale turbulent structures to the upper layer is found to be the main mechanism of the reduction in the wall- pressure energy spectrum when the 700$700{\nu}/u_{\tau}$-long bimorph film is periodically actuated at the non- dimensional frequency $f_b^+$:=0.008 and 0.028. The biomorph actuator is triggered with the time delay for the active forcing at a single frequency when a 1/8' pressure-type, pin-holed microphone sensor detects the large-amplitude pressure event by the turbulent spot. The wall-pressure energy in the late-transitional boundary layer is partially reduced near the convection wavenumber by the open-loop control based on the large amplitude event.

In this paper, we proposed a portable electronic cardiogram and stethoscope (ECGS) that can simultaneously perform the electrocardiogram (ECG) and auscultation tests to increase the reliability of diagnosis of heart disease. To measure the ECG and heart sound (HS) at the same time, three ECG electrodes and a microphone sensor were combined into a triangular shape with a width of 90 mm and a height of 97 mm that can be held in one hand. In order to prevent skin problems when they contact the patient's skin, a capacitive coupled electrode was selected as the ECG electrode and a silicone material was used in a chest piece with the microphone sensor. For the signals measured from the electrodes and the chest piece, filters were respectively configured to pass only the signals of 0.01-100 Hz and 20-250 Hz, which are frequency bands for ECG and HS. The filtered ECG and HS analog signals were converted into digital signals and transmitted to a PC using wireless communication for monitoring them. The HS could be auscultated simultaneously using an earphone. The monitored ECG had an SNR of about 34 dB and a P-QRS-T waveform is clearly visible. In addition, the HS had an SNR of about 28 dB and both S₁ and S₂ are clearly visible. It is expected that it can aid doctors' inexperience in analyzing the ECG and HS.

Falls are the main cause of serious injuries and accidental deaths in people over the age of 65. Due to widespread adoption of smartphones, there has been a growing interest in the use of smartphones for detecting human behavior and activities. Modern smartphones are equipped with a wide variety of sensors such as an accelerometer, a gyroscope, camera, GPS, digital compass and microphone. In this paper, we introduce a new method that determines the fall direction of human subjects by analyzing the three axis components of acceleration vector.

The impedance of an electro-acoustic transducer can be controlled by motional feedback, and the noise in a duct can be reduced actively by adjusting the impedance using an additional sound. In this paper, two approaches for active noise control using motional feedback (MFB) loudspeaker are described. First configuration uses an external sensor to pickup of source directly. In this configuration, the adaptation of controller is necessary to compensate the change of transfer function from noise source to control poing. The second configuration uses a new adaptive algorithm specialized for peridic noise. Because this configuration does not require any reference input and the error sensor couples very tightly with control loudspeaker, this MFB system itself is independent of the duct condition. No microphone are required in both configurations, so that a more reliable and stable active control system can be realized under severe conditions such as high pressure, high temperature, dust, flow and so on.

Esophageal stethoscope is used for monitoring the heart sounds and breath sounds of patients during surgery under a general anesthesia. Recently, an electronic esophageal stethoscope (EES)[1] has been developed for the purpose of real-time monitoring these information visually. This system uses only a microphone as the sound sensor. A drawback of the EES system is that it may be difficult to distinguish the first sound ($S_1$) and the second sound ($S_2$) of heart, because their periods are irregular depending on patients. In this paper, we propose an improved EES system in which the infrasound is measured by adding a pressure sensor as well as a sound sensor. We investigate some correlations between the infrasound and characteristics of the heart sound. The proposed system has been tested on 15 patients. The results show that the new system is capable of detecting the first sound more reliably and easily determining the heart rate and breathing period.
