생체 전위 신호의 인종인 신전도 신호는 심장 질환 보유 환자의 일상적 임상 진단 수단으로 널리 사용된다. 원격 의료정보 시스템은 이리한 정보를 환자의 댁내에서 병원으로 전송할 수 있으면 간단한 검사를 위해 병원을 자주 방문해야 하는 환자의 불편함을 죽일 수 있고, 의료비용을 절감할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서 제안한 시스템은 심전도 신호를 환자 댁내에서 획득하여 인터넷망을 통해 병원 서버로 전송하고, 의사 역시 인터넷망에 연결된 컴퓨터에서 환자의 실시간 심전도 신호와 병원 서버에 저장된 심전도 기록을 열람할 수 있도록 설계되었다.

스크린 프린트법으로 저가형 후막 용존산소 센서를 제작하고, 휴대용 용존산소 측정 시스템을 구현하였다. 전류 특성은 인가전압(바이어스 전압)을 0.7 V로 하였을 때, 응답시간도 짧고 전류 값의 변화도 가장 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 시스템의 구현은 MCU, 증폭단, 필터단, 전원부 및 디스플레이로 구성하였다. 용존산소 농도는 아날로그 값을 디지털로 변환하여 백분율로 표현되도록 프로그램하였다. 제작된 용존산소 측정 시스템은 표준 용액 대비 오차 ${\pm}0.5%$의 정확도 및 약 100초의 응답시간을 나타내어 고가의 상용 용존산소 센서를 대치할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, we have proposed a new method to extract the fetal ECG from a pregnant woman's abdominal signal using least square acceleration (LSA) filter and adaptive impulse correlation (AIC) filter. To evaluate the performance, the proposed method and other fetal ECG extraction techniques were processed using the real ECG data and then the results were compared. According to comparative results, the proposed method is powerful and successful for extracting the fetal ECG. It was able to separate perfectly even though the fetal beats overlap with the QRS wave of the maternal beats and to extract fetal ECG using any single-channel abdominal signal measured from pregnant woman's abdominal surface. Also, it could be implemented easily by fast computation time and simple structure. It is sure that our method could be useful for portable fetal monitoring system.

The voluntary EMG (vEMG) signal from electrically stimulated muscle is very useful for feedback control in functional electrical stimulation. However, the recorded EMG signal from surface electrodes has unwanted stimulation artifact and M-wave as well as vEMG. Here, we propose an event-synchronous adaptive digital filter for the suppression of stimulation artifact and M-wave in this application. The proposed method requires a simple experimental setup that does not require extra hardware connections to obtain the reference signals of adaptive digital filter. For evaluating the efficiency of this proposed method, the filter was tested and compared with a least square (LS) algorithm using previously measured data. We conclude that the cancellation of both primary and residual stimulation artifacts is enhanced with an event-synchronous adaptive digital filter and shows promise for clinical application to rehabilitate paretic limbs. Moreover because this algorithm is far simpler than the LS algorithm, it is portable and ready for real-time application.

본 논문에서는 휴대용 전자기기에 널리 사용되고 있는 리튬-이온 충전용 전원 모듈에서 발열을 줄이면서 배터리의 충전 시간을 단축하기 위한 기법을 연구하였다. 제안하는 기법은 마스터 충전 모듈과 슬레이브 충전 모듈로 구성된 다중 충전 모듈을 이용하여 병렬적인 전류 경로를 구성하면서 단일 선로 통신 방식을 적용함으로써 추가적인 하드웨어를 최소화하여 충전 회로를 매우 간단하게 구성할 수 있도록 하였다. 마스터 충전 모듈과 슬레이브 충전 모듈 간의 단일 선로 통신 방식은 필요 부품의 핀 개수를 최소화하고 디지털 통신 방식을 사용하지 않고 전압 레벨을 이용한 통신 방식을 적용하였기 때문에 구현 면적이 줄어들고 비용적인 측면에서도 유리한 장점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서 제안한 충전 기법은 고속의 충전을 필요로 하는 충전식 전원 모듈의 구현에 실용적으로 적용 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

Optical-fiber electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) is a non-contact, non-destructive examination technique with the advantages of rapid measurement, high accuracy, and full-field measurement. The optical-fiber ESPI system used in this study was compact and portable with the advantages of easy set-up and signal acquisition. By suitably configuring the optical-fiber ESPI system, producing an image signal in a charge-coupled device camera, and periodically modulating beam phases, we obtained phase information from the speckle pattern using a four-step phase shifting algorithm. Moreover, we compared the actual defect size with that of interference fringes which appeared on a screen after calculating the pixel value according to the distance between the object and the CCD camera. Conventional methods of measuring defects are time-consuming and resource-intensive because the estimated values are relative. However, our simple method could quantitatively estimate the defect length by carrying out numerical analysis for obtaining values on the X-axis in a line profile. The results showed reliable values for average error rates and a decrease in the error rate with increasing defect length or pressure.

Indoor construction site such as building demolition sites, tunnel, vinyl house, and cattle shed are subject to various risk factors such as falling stones, soot and bad odors. However, most of the mini excavators have no cabin that can protect the driver from such risk factors. Therefore, researches on remote control technology of construction equipment are actively conducted as a method for protecting the driver from the risk factors occurring in the working environment. For effective remote control, it is necessary to be able to control the travelling and work using a portable small transmitter. However, due to the limitation of the size of the transmitter, complex operation control is required to control two or more actuators with a single joystick. Also, it is essential to check how remote control characteristics change in various environments such as distance, signal strength, obstacle. Therefore, in this study, an algorithm that can control two actuators simultaneously with a single joystick signal was developed, and a communication method suitable for indoor and outdoor mini construction equipment by analyzing experimentally how the remote control characteristics vary according to various work environments and telecommunication methods proposed.

With the increased attention about healthcare and management of heart diseases, smart healthcare services and related devices have been actively developed recently. R wave is the largest representative signal among ECG signals. R wave detection is very important because it detects QRS pattern and classifies arrhythmia. Several R wave detection algorithms have been proposed with different features, but the remaining problem is their implementation in low-cost portable platforms for real-time applications. In this paper, we propose R wave detection based on optimal threshold and arrhythmia classification through QRS pattern considering complexity in smart healthcare environments. For this purpose, we detected R wave from noise-free ECG signal through the preprocessing method. Also, we classify premature ventricular contraction arrhythmia in realtime through QRS pattern. The performance of R wave detection and premature ventricular contraction arrhythmia classification is evaluated by using 9 record of MIT-BIH arrhythmia database that included over 30 premature ventricular contraction. The achieved scores indicate the average of 98.72% in R wave detection and the rate of 94.28% in PVC classification.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems offer significant enhancements in terms of their data rate and channel capacity compared to traditional systems. However, correlation degrades the system performance and imposes practical limits on the number of antennas that can be incorporated into portable wireless devices. The use of switched parasitic antennas (SPAs) is a possible solution, especially where it is difficult to obtain sufficient signal decorrelation by conventional means. The covariance matrix represents the correlation present in the propagation channel, and has significant impact on the MIMO channel capacity. The results of this work demonstrate a significant improvement in the MIMO channel capacity by using SPA with the knowledge of the covariance matrix for all pattern configurations. By employing the "water-pouring algorithm" to modify the covariance matrix, the channel capacity is significantly improved compared to traditional systems, which spread transmit power uniformly across all the antennas. A condition number is also proposed as a selection metric to select the optimal pattern configuration for MIMO-SPAs.
