엘리베이터의 고장 상태를 원격지에서도 상시 감시할 수 있는 시스템을 구현하였다 엘리베이터에 고장이 발생하는 경우에는 신속한 수리가 매우 중요하지만, 엘리베이터마다 전문 기술 인을 상시 근무시키는 일은 쉽지 않다. 본 논문은 최근 발달한 컴퓨터와 통신망 기술을 이용하여 대량의 엘리베이터를 원격지에서 전문적으로 감시하게 하여 엘리베이터 이용자에게는 보다 안전한 운전과 신속한 수리를 보장받게 하고 엘리베이터 관리회사는 신용과 효율성을 확보할 수 있게 하기 위한 것이다. 이 시스템은 엘리베이터 상태 감시 모듈, 비상사태 상태감시 모듈, 음성 및 데이터 통신망 및 원격 모니터링 시스템으로 구성된다. 상태 감시모듈은 엘리베이터의 비정상적인 동작을 상시 감시하여 이상 발생 시 엘리베이터의 관리회사에 즉시 통보하며, 비상사태 감시 모듈은 엘리베이터 내부의 소음 상태를 측정하여 강도나 엘리베이터의 갇힘 상태 등을 감시한다. 또, 음성 및 데이터 통신망은 기존의 전화 연결 망에 모뎀을 통하여 연결되게 함으로써 저렴한 가격으로 구성이 가능하게 하며, 원격 모니터링 시스템은 관리회사에 보고된 엘리베이터의 이상 상태를 그래픽을 통하여 적절히 표시하고 응급 조치 연락망에 연락하거나 수리에 필요한 기구나 부품들을 제시한다.

Acquiring instrumentation signals generated from nuclear power plants (NPPs) is essential to maintain nuclear reactor integrity or to mitigate an abnormal state under normal operating conditions or severe accident circumstances. However, various safety-critical instrumentation signals from NPPs cannot be accurately measured on account of instrument degradation or failure under severe accident circumstances. Reactor vessel (RV) water level, which is an accident monitoring variable directly related to reactor cooling and prevention of core exposure, was predicted by applying a few signals to deep neural networks (DNNs) during severe accidents in NPPs. Signal data were obtained by simulating the postulated loss-of-coolant accidents at hot- and cold-legs, and steam generator tube rupture using modular accident analysis program code as actual NPP accidents rarely happen. To optimize the DNN model for RV water level prediction, a genetic algorithm was used to select the numbers of hidden layers and nodes. The proposed DNN model had a small root mean square error for RV water level prediction, and performed better than the cascaded fuzzy neural network model of the previous study. Consequently, the DNN model is considered to perform well enough to provide supporting information on the RV water level to operators.

To meet increasing needs for environmentally sustainable management of coastal area, there has been compelling pressure to establish a cost-effective and long-term coastal water quality (CWQ) monitoring system. A remote CWQ monitoring system, STAMP, has been developed and is in operation along the route between Kyema harbor and Anma Island in the southwestern coastal area of Korea. STAMP uses a PCS phone as a telemetry unit to transmit acquired data for monitoring general water quality parameters, and a routinely operating coastal passenger ship or car ferry. STAMP has various merits of low-cost operations; long-term monitoring with secure instrumentation; and stable real-time telemetry of acquired data with-out the loss and noise. It is expected that the system will serve as a very useful tool in the CWQ managing programs of Korea taking the advantage of many coastal passenger ships in various routes including the ships departing from the coastal industrial cities. The acquired data compiled on suspended surface sediment concentrations (SSSC) will be also valuably helpful in understanding the sediment budget across the routes of the vessel.

FBG sensors are able to measure the strain of structures more easily and durable than electronic resistance gages and thus many researches are on the way to apply the FBG sensor for response monitering of infrastructures. This study investigates the deflection estimation technique using FBG sensors. Several FBG sensors are multiplexed in single optical fiber and installed. in parallel pairs along the length of the structure. The measured strains at the top and bottom of a cross section can be transferred to the curvature of the section which can be used to calculate its displacement. It has been demonstrated that the estimated deflections using the FBG sensor are compared well with the readings from displacement transducers. The results show that the proposed instrumentation technique is capable of estimating the vertical deflection of the structures for various loading conditions including impact and dynamic loads, which is crucial in the structural health monitoring.

This paper presents a position control system for a linear induction motor(LIM) with cage-type secondary using direct thrust control(DTC). Also it presents a virtual instrumentation(VI) system for LIMs performance monitoring. The VI is designed using the graphical programming language LabVIEW and is capable of performing measurement functions, including data acquisition, display, and analyses at the same time. This paper reports the LIM's responses of the thrust, current, speed, and flux measured by the proposed monitoring system.

Second harmonic generation using nonlinear ultrasonic waves have been shown to be an early indicator of possible fatigue damage in nuclear power plant components. This technique relies on measuring amplitudes, making it highly susceptible to variations in transducer coupling and instrumentation. This paper proposes an experimental procedure for in-situ surface wave nonlinear ultrasound measurements on specimen with permanently mounted transducers under high cycle fatigue loading without interrupting the experiment. It allows continuous monitoring and minimizes variation due to transducer coupling. Moreover, relations describing the effects of the measurement system nonlinearity including the effects of the material transfer function on the measured nonlinearity parameter are derived. An in-situ high cycle fatigue test was conducted using two 304 stainless steel specimens with two different excitation frequencies. A comprehensive analysis of the nonlinear sources, which result in variations in the measured nonlinearity parameters, was performed and the effects of the system nonlinearities are explained and identified. In both specimens, monotonic trend was observed in nonlinear parameter when the value of fundamental amplitude was not changing.

Diabetes mellitus is an abnormally high glucose level in the bloodstream. Several pharmaceuticals are administered to diabetic patients to control their glucose levels. Early diagnosis and proper glycemic management are essential in this situation to prevent further progression and complications. Biosensor-based detection has progressed and shown potential in portable and inexpensive daily assessment of glucose levels because of its simplicity, low cost, and convenient operation without sophisticated instrumentation. This review discusses various systemic aspects of non-invasive glucose monitoring, including materials for monitoring and managing diabetes.
