A fermentation system was supplemented with a device for the measurement of the durations of alkali pump feeding for automatic pH control and an A/D convertor for precise monitoring of pH value by computer. A software program was developed to measure buffer capacities from the pH signal and the pH control signal during fermentation. By measuring the buffer capacity on-line, levels of acetic acid were estimated by a software sensor using pH signal in a fermentation process of E.coli growing in a minimal medium. The measured values of acetic acid showed correlation to those of estimated by the software sensor. Lacitic acid production was also successfully estimated by the values of buffer capacities measured on-line.

We performed spectroscopic and photometric monitoring observations of a QSO, PG0934+013 for a reverberation-mapping analysis, using the 9-m Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) for spectroscopy and the 2-m Faulkes Telescope North and the South for photometry. The monitoring campaign was carried out for 5 month between December 2012 to April 2013, providing 20 spectroscopic epochs and ~40 photometric epochs. Based on the obtained spectra, which typically have a signal-to-noise ratio to 30-60, we performed multicomponent decomposition using various components, i.e., power-law continuum, FeII emission complex, and broad and narrow emission lines, to properly measure the Hbeta line flux. After a flux normalization using [O III] 5007 line luminosity, we obtained a rms spectrum from all epochs, which shows clear variability of Hbeta line. We find that Hbeta line flux decreases by ~20% during the monitoring period while the continuum flux obtained from the aperture photometry based on the imaging data, shows similar variability. The current Hbeta light curve shows monotonic decrease and a reliable cross correlation analysis between Hbeta and continuum light is difficult. Nevertheless, we obtained a preliminary lag measurements as ~24 light days.

The solid insulation system of stator windings in high voltage rotational machines is usually aging in accordance with long time operation. The partial discharge test have been known to check whether insulation deterioration exist or not, and the PD test can effectively diagnose a solid insulation condition regardless of during operation(on-line) or not(off-line). The on-line PD measurement have proven to be a successful technique in monitoring stator insulation condition nowadays. This paper describes the characteristics of comparing the on-line PD measurement data using PDMS-HG(Partial Discharge Monitoring System for Hydro-electric Generator) installed in field with the off-line diagnosis measurement data(insulation resistance, winding resistance, PI, ${\Delta}tan{\delta}$ and PD) on hydro generator(13[kV]) stator windings. These results make good use of managing rotational machines through evaluating the solid insulation condition of stator windings.

The electrolyte cathode glow discharge (ELCAD) is a new optical system for direct determination of trace heavy metals in flowing water. ELCAD has been successfully developed for on-line monitoring of heavy metals in flowing water. The application of an atmospheric glow discharge between an electrolyte solution cathode and a platinum rod anode led to the development of stable discharge. The fundamental aspects of new plasma source have been investigated. The fundamental study of ELCAD system has been measured plasma temperature using Einstein-Boltzmann equation after searching Fe atomic emission lines. The spectrum of each elements such as Cu, Pb, Fe, Ni and Cr show only major elemental line and no ionic line possibly due to low temperature plasma source. The detection limits of each elements are also investigated. These informations show that this type of plasma may apply for monitoring of heavy metals in waste water which consists of complex matrix.

When a system is composed of multi-boards, an efficient bus arbitration method for the data transfer bus must be provided for guaranteeing proper operations. In this paper, a new test methodology is developed which is used for testing on-line bus arbitration. In the new test methodology, events that are occurred during bus arbitration are defined, and expected signals during fault-free bus arbitration are compared with the signals captured during on-line bus arbitration using boundary-scan cells. For this, a new test architecture is proposed which is efficient for the maintenance and the repair of multi-board systems. In addition, the new methodology can be used with off-line interconnect test using boundary-scan.

An optical sensing membrane has been fabricated to measure the concentration of dissolved oxygen(DO) and pH value simultaneously. It has employed HPTS as a pH sensitive dye and a ruthenium(II) complex as a DO sensitive dye. The sensing membrane has been applied to wells in a 24-well microtiter plate. Using the 24-well microtiter plate the concentrations of dissolved oxygen and pH values have been on-line monitored during the cultivations of E.coli DH5${\alpha}$, B.cereus 318 and P.pastoris X-33. On-line monitoring of DO and pH in microorganism cultivation processes showed good performance of the sensing membrane containing 5 mM HPTS and 2 or 5 mg/mL Rudpp.

On-line partial discharge monitoring system for generator stator insulation is developed. This system consists of remote and host units. The remote unit detects partial discharge signals from SSC(Stator Slot Coupler) installed between wedge and stator windings. The host unit monitors the condition of winding insulation. This system will be used as a module of a generator on-line monitoring system utilizing global network.

This paper presents the on-line monitoring of the surface roughness in a face milling operation. The cut- ting force was used to monitor the surface roughness, since the insert run-outs not only deteriorate surface roughness but also change cutting force. AR model and band energy method were taken to extract the fea- tures from the cutting force. The features extracted from AR modelling are more accurate about the moni- toring than those from band energy method, whereas, the computing speed of the former is slow. An artifi- cal neural network discriminated the level of the surface roughness by using the features extracted via signal processing.

In the electric power industry, it is important that the supply of energy must be guaranteed. Many power utilities control and supervise the transmission line to avoid power failures. In case of underground tunnel, some troubles are reported in cable joint. To stabilize the power, it is needed to monitor the cable joint. Many researches of cable joint monitoring have been going on by partial discharge measurement and temperature measurement using optical cable. These methods need much cost to install and maintain, so it is only used in critical transmission line. In this research, we use wireless sensor technology, because of its low cost and easy installation. We develop the temperature monitoring system for cable joint. Temperature sensor is installed on the surface of cable joint and sends data to server through router node using wireless network. Generally Ad hoc routing is searched in wireless network. However, in this research, we design the static linear routing mechanism, which is suitable for electric power line monitoring and analyze the life time of the sensor node by measuring the amount of the battery consumption.

Condition monitoring of the reciprocating compressor is important task. As a traditional method, health monitoring system of refrigerator depends on decision of a skilled person based on his experience. However, the skilled person cannot monitor all the compressors completely. If a sampled compressor is faulty, thousands of compressors manufactured at that place are regarded as faulty compressors. Therefore it is necessary to monitor all compressors in the production line. In the paper real time health monitoring system is developed based on high order time frequency method and artificial neural network. The system is installed in the mass production line. The result of the application has been very successful, and currently the system is working very well on the production line.
