Heart rate may be a very important parameter in human health. To extract heart rate, the electrocardiogram(ECG) is commonly used. But the ECG acquisition procedure is somewhat complex. On the other hand, the acquisition of pulse wave or photoplethysmogram(PPG) is very easy. However, the peak of PPG is not so sharp as ECG. This study tries to enhance the performance of period detection in PPG signal. The method uses the average slopes around the main peak. The crossing point of the increasing and the decreasing slopes is selected as the peak point of heart rate period. The proposed method showed smoothed heart rate graph and reduced irregularity in heart rate values.

With a special attention to the different stages of a typical loading path travelled in a fluid confined concrete test, this paper introduces a physically consistent model for the stress-strain curve of actively confined normal-strength concrete in the axial direction. The model comprises of the five elements of: (1) a criterion for the peak or failure strength, (2) an equation for the peak strain, (3) a backbone hydrostatic curve, (4) a transient hardening curve linking the point of departure from the hydrostatic curve to the failure point, and finally (5) a set of formulas for the post-peak region. Alongside, relevant details and shortcomings of existing models will be discussed in each part. Finally, the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed model have been verified in a set of simulations which compare well with the experimental results from the literature.

본 연구에서는 혈압측정으로부터 얻어지는 오실레이션(Oscillation) 신호를 이용하여 심박주기를 검출하고, 심박주기의 정확성을 개선하는 알고리듬을 개발하였다. 이를 위한 혈압측정의 방법으로 오실로메트릭(Oscillometric) 측정법을 사용하였으며, 오실레이션 신호의 피크들로부터 전 후 기울기들의 평균이 교차하는 지점을 실제 피크로 인정하고 심박주기를 계산하였다. 제안된 방법은 그래프 상에서 심박주기의 극심한 편차와 오류를 줄이는 성능을 나타냈다.

In this paper, we investigate the capacity of a multipoint-to-point cognitive radio network. In existing works, the asymptotic capacity is only obtained in the high peak power region at secondary transmitter (ST) or obtained without considering the interference from primary transmitter (PT) for easy analysis. Here, we analyze the asymptotic capacity by considering an arbitrary peak power at the ST and the interference from the PT based on extreme value theory. Simulation results show that our approximated capacity is well-matched to the exact capacity. Furthermore, the scaling law of our capacity is found to be double logarithm of the number of secondary users.

본 연구에서는 그래핀의 인위적인 합성방법인 화학기상증착법을 활용하여 합성 파라미터들을 변화시켜줌으로써 그래핀의 물성을 조절하는 연구를 수행하였다. 먼저, 메탄가스를 탄소원으로 순수 그래핀을 합성하였고, 액상의 피리딘을 원료로 사용하여 질소가 도핑된 그래핀을 합성하였다. 각각의 그래핀의 물성은 라만 분광법, X선 광전자 분광법(XPS)을 통한 기초 광물성 측정과 게이트 전압에 따른 그래핀 채널의 전류-전압 응답특성을 통한 전기적 수송현상 측정에 의해 평가되었다. 메탄가스로 합성된 그래핀의 라만 분광 스펙트럼에서는 G-peak과 2D-peak가 선명히 보였고, XPS에서 C1s-peak가 선명하였고, 아울러 전하중성점은 게이트 전압 약 +4 V 정도에서 나타났다. 피리딘을 원료로 합성된 그래핀의 라만 분광 스펙트럼에서는 D-peak, G-peak 그리고 다소 약해진 2D-peak 등이 보였고, XPS에서는 C1s-peak은 물론 N1s-peak도 나타났으며, 전하중성점은 게이트 전압 약 -96 V 정도에서 나타났다. 결과적으로 우리는 화학기상증착법을 활용하여 그래핀의 물성을 성공적으로 조절하였다.

We have previously proposed a preliminary cut-off indoor positioning scheme considering the reference point with the same signal similarity. This scheme estimates the position using the relative rank of the peak of received signal strength from the beacons around user. However, this scheme has a weak point with lower accuracy when there are more than one nearest reference points having the same signal similarity. In order to tackle this, we propose a weighted preliminary cut-off indoor positioning scheme. Firstly, if the above problem occurs, the similarity to the peak of signal strength is considered as well as the relative rank. Next, weights are assigned to the nearest reference points using the similarity to the peak of the received signal strength. Finally, the user's position is estimated by applying the weights. As a result, the weighted preliminary cut-off scheme improves the positioning accuracy by about 7.9% compared to the previous scheme.

This study proposes a new control method for a resistance spot welding inverter to improve weld quality. The proposed method is based on the dynamic resistance characteristics of steel sheets to be welded. A point in the second peak value of the dynamic resistance occurs during one shot of the welding current flow. A constant voltage control is applied from zero to the peak point, and a constant current control is adopted from the peak point to the end of the shot. The mixed mode control of the constant voltage and current guarantees high weld quality. Experiments are conducted with a 5 kA power supply and 0.5 mm steel sheets to compare quality. Experimental results show that weld quality is improved more than 10 times that of the conventional control method.

Ventilation requirement of apartment was mandated according to building equipment standards in 2006. When ventilation unit was considering for indoor air quality maintenance, we needed energy saving and efficiency ventilation control methods. This study carried out experiment of ventilation rate 0.7 adequacy. When we lived in apartment, we assumed that sleeping time was long stayed time in unconsciousness. Experiments carried out ventilation rate 0, 0.1, 0.4 and 0.7 in environment chamber from 22 o'clock to 06 o'clock, the concentration of $CO_2$, temperature and humidity rate measured. Analyzing the results, conclusions are as follows. 1) When we sleep in bedroom, ventilation rate 0.4 meet the requirements of domestic legal standards. Conform fan of similarity law, ventilation rate 0.4 reduced power cost about 80% than 0.7. 2) In generally sleeping time 8 hours, peak point control reduced running time of ventilation unit about 43% than normal control.

심전도는 다양한 형태의 전기적 신호로 이루어져 있으며, 이러한 신호들의 특징점을 분석함으로써 부정맥을 검출할 수 있다. 지금까지 부정맥 검출을 위한 특징점 추출 방법에 대하여 많은 연구가 이루어졌으나, 복잡한 연산과정으로 실시간 연산 결과를 활용하는 휴대형 기기에는 부적합하다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 환자의 R-R 간격과 QRS 너비의 정보를 이용하여 R파를 추출하였다. 우선 버터워스 필터를 이용하여 저주파 대역의 잡음을 제거하였으며, R-R간격의 이동평균과 QRS 너비의 이동평균을 이용하여 R파를 추출하였다. 이에 대한 결과 검증은 MIT-BIH 부정맥 데이터베이스의 데이터를 활용하여 실험하였으며, 제공된 데이터의 R파 위치와 제안한 알고리즘의 R파 위치를 비교하였다. 이에 대한 결과로는 제안한 알고리즘 방법이 우수한 검출 성능을 보였으며, 연산과정에서도 효율적인 방법임을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Complex dynamic relaxation processes of mechanical as well as dielectric character in polymeric anelastic solids are closely related through the movement of molecular chain segment in morphological structure, and the morphology can easily be modified by the treatments such as mechanical drawing or irradiation, those of which result, in turn, the complicated change on the appearance of the observed complex relaxation peak. In order to extract any meaningful understanding from the modified appearance of the peak, the relaxation peak must be resolved into the sum of the dynamic single relaxation peaks, each of which can be characterized respectively by three factors such as activation energy, magnitude of peak height and peak point temperature on the temperature dependent characteristics.
