Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the fluctuation of signal amplitude during repetitive dynamic contraction based on surface electromyography(EMG). Background: The most previous studies were considered isometric muscle contraction and they were difference to smoothing window length by moving average filter. In practical, the human movement is dynamic state. Dynamic EMG signal which indicated as the nonstationary pattern should be analyzed differently compared with the static EMG signal. Method: Ten male subjects participated in this experiment, and EMG signal was recorded by biceps brachii, anterior/posterior deltoid, and upper/lower trapezius muscles. The subject was performed to repetitive right horizontal lifting task during ten cycles. This study was considered three independent variables(muscle, amplitude processing technique, and smoothing window length) as the within-subject experimental design. This study was estimated muscular activation by means of the linear envelope technique(LE). The dependent variable was set coefficient of variation(CV) of LE for each cycle. Results: The ANOVA results showed that the main and interaction effects between the amplitude processing technique and smoothing window length were significant difference. The CV value of peak LE was higher than mean LE. According to increase the smoothing window length, this study shows that the CV trend of peak LE was decreased. However, the CV of mean LE was analyzed constant fluctuation trend regardless of the smoothing window length. Conclusion: Based on these results, we expected that using the mean LE and 300ms window length increased reproducibility and signal noise ratio during repetitive dynamic muscle contraction. Application: These results can be used to provide fundamental information for repetitive dynamic EMG signal processing.

This paper proposes a pseudo-random beamforming technique for time-synchronized mobile base stations (BSs) for multi-cell downlink networks which have mobility. The base stations equipped with multi-antennas and mobile stations (MSs) are time-synchronized based on global positioning system (GPS) signals and generate a number of transmit beamforming matrix candidates according to the predetermined pseudo-random pattern. In addition, MSs generate receive beamforming vectors that correspond to the beam index number based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) using transmit beamforming vectors that make up a number of transmit beamforming matrices and wireless channel matrices from BSs estimated via the reference signals (RS). Afterward, values of received signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) with regard to all transmit beamforming vectors are calculated, and the resulting values are then feedbacked to the BS of the same cells along with the beam index number. Each of the BSs calculates each of the sum-rates of the transmit beamforming matrix candidates based on the feedback information and then transmits the calculated results to the BS coordinator. After this, optimum transmit beamforming matrices, which can maximize a sum-rate of the entire cells, are selected at the BS coordinator and informed to the BSs. Finally, data signals are transmitted using them. The simulation results verified that a sum-rate of the entire cells was improved as the number of transmit beamforming matrix candidates increased. It was also found that if the received SINR values and beam index numbers are feedbacked opportunistically from each of the MSs to the BSs, not only nearly the same performance in sum-rate with that of applying existing feedback techniques could be achieved but also an amount of feedback was significantly reduced.

This paper investigates the Synergetics based Damage Detection Method (SDDM) for frame structures by using surface-bonded PZT (Lead Zirconate Titanate) patches. After analyzing the mechanism of pattern recognition from Synergetics, the operating framework with cooperation-competition-update process of SDDM was proposed. First, the dynamic identification equation of structural conditions was established and the adjoint vector (AV) set of original vector (OV) set was obtained by Generalized Inverse Matrix (GIM).Then, the order parameter equation and its evolution process were deduced through the strict mathematics ratiocination. Moreover, in order to complete online structural condition update feature, the iterative update algorithm was presented. Subsequently, the pathway in which SDDM was realized through the modified Synergetic Neural Network (SNN) was introduced and its assessment indices were confirmed. Finally, the experimental platform with a two-story frame structure was set up. The performances of the proposed methodology were tested for damage identifications by loosening various screw nuts group scenarios. The experiments were conducted in different damage degrees, the disturbance environment and the noisy environment, respectively. The results show the feasibility of SDDM using piezoceramic sensors and actuators, and demonstrate a strong ability of anti-disturbance and anti-noise in frame structure applications. This proposed approach can be extended to the similar structures for damage identification.

Measurement of deflections of certain bridges is usually hampered by corruption of the GPS signal by multipath associated with passing vehicles, resulting to unrealistically large apparent displacements. Field data from the Gorgopotamos train bridge in Greece and systematic experiments revealed that such bias is due to superimposition of two major effects, (i) changes in the geometry of satellites because of partial masking of certain satellites by the passing vehicles (this effect can be faced with solutions excluding satellites that get temporarily blocked by passing vehicles) and (ii) dynamic multipath caused from reflection of satellite signals on the passing trains, a high frequency multipath effect, different from the static multipath. Dynamic multipath seems to have rather irregular amplitude, depending on the geometry of measured satellites, but a typical pattern, mainly consisting of a baseline offset, wide base peaks correlating with the sequence of main reflective surfaces of the vehicles passing next to the antenna. In cases of limited corruption of GPS signal by dynamic multipath, corresponding to scale distortion of the short-period component of the GPS waveforms, we propose an algorithm which permits to reconstruct the waveform of bridge deflections using a weak fusion of GPS and RTS data, based on the complementary characteristics of the two instruments. By application of the proposed algorithm we managed to extract semi-static and dynamic displacements and oscillation frequencies of a historical railway bridge under train loading by using noisy GPS and RTS recordings. The combination of GPS and RTS is possible because these two sensors can be fully collocated and have complementary characteristics, with RTS and GPS focusing on the long- and short-period characteristics of the displacement, respectively.

패턴 인식의 분야에서 그래프는 복잡한 대상체의 표현 및 인식의 도구로서 많이 사용되지만, 그래프간의 유사성 비교에는 많은 시간이 소요될 뿐아니라 실제 입력되는 영상은 왜곡으로 인해 저장되어 있는 이상적인 영상과 동일함을 기대할 수 없으므로 유사한 정도를 판별하는 기준이 마련되어야만 한다. 이 논문에서는 행렬을 그래프의 표현 수단으로 사용하였다. 행렬은 표현이 간단하며, 정의되어 있는 연산을 통해 순서 배열 및 매칭 과정을 간단히 수행하루 수 있다. 이 때 그래프를 구성하는 노드(node)들을 기하학적 위치에 따라 순서 배열함으로써 그래프를 구성하는 노드들 사이의 대응 관계를 효율적으로 찾을 수 있도록 하였으며, 또한 왜곡으로 인하여 기호를 표현하는 그래프의 노드가 제대로 추출되지 못한 경우는 기호의 구조를 고려하여 보정해 줄 수 있는 분할 과정을 도입하여 해결하였다. 제안한 방법은 악보의 비음표 기호 인식을 통해 실험하였으며, 실험 결과 95% 정도의 인식률을 얻을 수 있었다.

ITU-R M.1842-1, as a well-known specification dedicated to maritime mobile applications, has standardized wireless transmission protocols according to the particular characteristics of a maritime communications scenario. A time division multiple access (TDMA) frame structure, along with modulation schemes to achieve a high data rate, has been described clearly in ITU-R M.1842-1. However, several specification items are still under "to be decided" status, which brings ambiguity to research works. In addition, the current version of ITU-R M.1842-1 is focused mainly on maritime transmissions in open-sea areas, where the cyclic prefix (CP) is set to zero and only 16-QAM is used in the multi-carrier (MC) system. System performance might be dramatically degraded in coastline areas due to the inter-symbol interference (ISI) caused by selective fading. This is because there is a higher probability that the signal will be reflected by obstacles in coastline areas. In this paper, we introduce the transmission resource block (TRB) dedicated to ITU-R M.1842-1 for a ship ad-hoc network (SANET), where the pilot pattern of TRB is based on the terrestrial trunked radio (TETRA). After that, we evaluated SANET performance under the maritime channel model in a coastline area. In order to avoid noise amplification and to overcome the ISI caused by selective fading, several strategies are suggested and compared in the channel estimation and equalization procedures, where the link-level simulation results finally validate our proposals.

FPAR는 다양한 육상 생태계 모텔에서 중요한 입력변수로 사용된다. 이 때문에 다양한 global product의 형태로 제공되고 있다. 하지만 한반도를 영역으로 하는 연구에 이를 바로 적용 시 오차가 발생할 수 있고, 이것은 위성자료를 이용한 지면 정보 산출에 있어서 직접적인 오차요인이 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Terra/MODIS와 SPOT/VEGETATION 그리고 ECOCLIMAP 자료를 이용해 한반도에 최적화된 FPAR를 산출 하였고, 또한 기존에 사용하였던 LAI와의 관계식을 사용하지 않고, SPOT/VGT NDVI 로부터 계산된 FVC (Fraction Vegetation Cover)를 직접 이용하여 FPAR를 산출 하였다. 이를 위해 식생지수의 선형/비선형 관계를 이용하여 구하는 경험적인 방법을 적용하여 회귀분석을 수행한 결과 cropland와 forest에서 각각 결정계수 (Coefficient of Determination, $R^2$)가 0.9039. 0.7901으로 정확도가 높은 관계식을 도출해내었다. 최종적으로 Reference FPAR 자료와의 비교 분석을 통해 본 연구에서 산출된 FPAR가 전반적인 패턴을 잘 표현하면서 불규칙하게 발생하던 노이즈 또한 보정된 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이렇게 한반도에 최적화된 입력변수의 사용은 산출물의 정확도뿐만 아니라 연구의 질 향상에도 도움을 줄 것으로 사료된다.

본 논문에서는 유도 전동기의 기계적 결함을 진단하기 위해 진동신호와 질감 분석을 이용한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 영상화된 결함 신호가 갖는 무늬, 색상 대비의 특징을 분석하고, 그레이레벨 동시발생행렬(Gray-Level Co-occurrence Model, GLCM)을통해 세 가지 질감특징을추출한다. 추출된 세 가지질감 특징을 RBF(Radial Basis Function) 커널 함수를 사용하는 다중레벨 서포터 벡터 머신(Multi-Level Support Vector Machine, MLSVM)의 입력으로 사용하여 결함 유형을 분류한다. 결함 유형을 분류하는 최적의 MLSVM을 위한 RBF 커널 함수의 매개변수를 찾기 위해 매개변수 값을 0.3부터 1.0으로 바꿔가며 분류성능을 평가한 결과, 결함 유형별로 0.3에서 0.6사이의 매개변수 값에서 100%에 가까운 분류 정확성을 보였다. 또한 15dB, 20dB의 잡음이 첨가된 진동신호를 이용한 실험에서도 평균 98%이상의 높은 분류 정확성을 보였다.
