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.

In this paper, we present a novel idea to integrate low cost Inertial Measurement Unit(IMU) and Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) for Telematics applications. As well known, low cost IMU produces large positioning and attitude errors in very short time due to the poor quality of inertial sensor assembly. To conquer the limitation, we present a bimodal approach for integrating IMU and DGPS, taking advantage of positioning and orientation data calculated from CCD images based on photogrammetry and stereo-vision techniques. The positioning and orientation data from the photogrammetric approach are fed back into the Kalman filter to reduce and compensate IMU errors and improve the performance. Experimental results are presented to show the robustness of the proposed method that can provide accurate position and attitude information for extended period for non-aided GPS information.

This paper presents design concepts of a reconfigurable mobile robot for both of indoor and outdoor applications. A linkage mechanism and wheel-in-motors give the proposed mobile robot various driving modes in maneuver and good adaptability to irregular surface. Since the mobile robot receives multiple sensor signals from odometers and an orientation sensor, states related to the position and the orientation of the mobile robot are optimally estimated by an extended Kalman filter. Simulations and experimental results show that the performance of dead reckoning on estimating the pose of a mobile robot can be improved remarkably by the optimal state observer.

본 논문에서는 기존의 광학식 모션 캡처에서 생길 수 있는 마커들 간의 간섭이나 복잡한 시스템 구성으로 인한 시스템 설치의 복잡성 문제들을 해결하기 위해, 2차원 위치정보를 제공하는 단일 카메라와 특정부위의 방향정보를 제공하는 가속도센서와 자이로 센서로 구성된 동작센서를 융합하여 간편한 모션 캡처를 실현하는 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문의 동작 인식은 크게 영상기반 위치 정보와 동작센서기반 방향 정보의 융합을 통해 이루어진다. 영상은 보이는 부위에 장착된 컬러마커의 위치를 기준점으로 제공하고, 동작센서들은 각 패지의 이동방향과 속도를 측정하여 영상에서 제공하는 마커들의 3차원 포즈정보를 알아 낼 수 있다. 제안하는 시스템은 사람동작의 측정에 필요한 최소한의 센서정보를 사용함으로써 시스템의 구성과 센서의 설치가 매우 간단하며 경제적이라는 장점을 갖는다. 이러한 장점은 다양한 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

Crack propagation and AE characteristics of CFRP plain woven laminate composites are examined with acoustic sensor by AEDSP 32/16 board in PC system. AE signals are measured during the fracture behavior tests. The purpose of study is the estimation of the crack extension behavior effected between three kinds of fiber orientation for plain woven CFRP laminate composite and the relationship between AE characteristics and load-displacement curves and crack extension length.

Wireless wearable sensor networks have emerged as a promising technique for human motion tracking due to the flexibility and scalability. In such system several wireless sensor nodes being attached to human limb construct a wearable sensor network, where each sensor node including MEMS sensors (such as 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis magnetometer and 3-axis gyroscope) monitors the limb orientation and transmits these information to the base station for reconstruction via low-power wireless communication technique. Due to the energy constraint, the high fidelity requirement for real time rendering of human motion and tiny operating system embedded in each sensor node adds more challenges for the system implementation. In this paper, we discuss such challenges and experiences in detail during the implementation of such system with wireless wearable sensor network which includes COTS wireless sensor nodes (Imote 2) and uses TinyOS 1.x in each sensor node. Since our system uses the COTS sensor nodes and popular tiny operating system, it might be helpful for further exploration in such field.

본 논문에서는 지문입력에서 회전에 의한 오차를 줄이는 방법으로 기존의 지문 입력기를 개선한 새로운 지문 입력 방법을 제안한다. 일반적인 지문 센서는 센서 위에 손가락을 올려서 지문 영상을 획득하는데 주의를 해도 회전이 발생하여 인식률에 영향을 미친다. 개선된 입력 방법은 엄지와 검지의 사이에 지문입력기를 두어 회전을 최소화하는 방법이다. 반도체 지문 입력기를 양쪽으로 부착하여 엄지와 검지를 동시에 집게 형태로 쥐어서 지문을 입력하는 방법이다. 이 방법은 지문을 획득할 때 마다 거의 같은 각도를 유지한다. 실험결과 제안된 방법이 인식률이 향상되었다. 단점으로는 하드웨어 비용이 더 추가 된다.

In this paper, the silicon-nitride membrane structure for IR sensor was fabricated through the etching and the direct bonding. The PTO layer as a IR detection layer was deposited on the membrane and its characteristics were measured. The attack of PTO layer during the etching of silicon wafer as well as the thermal isolation of the IR detection layer can be solved through the method of bonding/etching of silicon wafer. Because the PTO layer of c-axial orientation raised thermal polarization without polling, the more integration capability can be achieved. The surface roughness of the membrane was measured by AFM, the micro voids and the non-contacted area were inspected by IR detector, and the bonding interface was observed by SEM. The polarization characteristics and the dielectric characteristics of the PTO layer were measured, too.
