The handling ability of containers at the terminal strongly depends on the performance of the cargo handling system such as RTGC(Rubber Tired Gantry Crane). This paper introduces a new guide line position measurement method using a camera for the RTGC which plays a important role in the harbor area. Because the line tracking is the basic technique for control system design of RTGC, it is necessary to develop a useful and reliable measurement system. If the displacement and angle of the RTGC relative to a guide line as trajectory to follow is obtained, the position of RTGC is calculated. Therefore, in this paper, a camera-based measurement system is introduced. The proposed measurement system is robust against light fluctuation and cracks of the guideline. This system consists of a camera and a PC which are installed at the lower side of the RTGC. Two edges of the guide line are detected from an input image taken by the camera, and these positions are determined in a Hough parameter space by using the Hough transformation method. From the experimental results, high accurate standard deviations were found as 0.98 pixel of the displacement and 0.24 degree of the angle, including robustness against lighting fluctuation and cracks of the guide line also.

In this study, methods for the characteristics measurement of pneumatic elements using isothermal chamber, the methods for the flow rate and dynamic characteristic measurement of pneumatic control valve, are proposed. An isothermal chamber is a chamber in which the steel wool is stuffed and isothermal condition can almost be realized. Therefore, the instantaneous flow rate could be measured only from the pressure response using the state equation of gas. Effectiveness and simplicity of the proposed method are confirmed by comparing the measured results obtained by proposed methods with the methods defined JIS and the ISO standards.

서미스터 마운트는 전력의 변화에 따른 교정인자 값이 일정하여 정밀한 무선주파수 전력 측정에 사용하고 있다. 표준 마운트의 교정인자는 직류 대체법을 이용하여 전달표준과 직접 비교를 통해 10 MHz부터 1 GHz 대역까지 불확도 0.5 % 이하로 측정할 수 있다. 최근 직류 대체법 기반 정밀한 전력계의 산업계 보급으로 보다 간단하고, 빠른 측정이 가능함에 따라 동일한 불확도 수준의 단순 직접 비교 측정시스템을 설계하고, 부정합 오차의 분석을 통해 구성품의 최소 요구 사양을 제시하였다. 시스템 유효성 검증을 위해 시스템 불확도를 평가하였으며, 불확도 결과는 측정 주파수 대역에서 0.5 % 이내에서 잘 유지되었음을 보여준다.

측정 명령어에 따른 정확도와 소요시간은 효율적인 Ka 밴드용 자동 시험 장비(ATE)를 구축하는데 중요한 요소이다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 RF 대표 계측기 Power Meter의 측정 명령어에 대해 연구하였다. 30 G ~ 31 GHz에서 Power Meter의 측정 명령어 FETCH와 MEASURE의 각 측정 레벨에 따른 정확도와 소요시간을 비교하였으며, -70 ~ +20 dBm 영역을 2가지 Power Sensor로 측정하였다. 측정 결과 신속하게 데이터를 불러오는 FETCH 명령어는 잡음 레벨보다 높은 선형 구간에서 비교적 정확한 데이터를 얻을 수 있었다. 가장 정확한 데이터를 얻을 수 있는 MEASURE 명령어는 FETCH 대비 시간이 많이 소요 되었으며, 최대 13.2초가 소요 되었다. 이를 통해 30 G ~ 31 GHz에서 Power Meter 측정 명령어의 정확도와 측정 소요시간을 확인할 수 있었고, 해당 연구 결과는 효율적인 Ka 밴드용 ATE를 구축하는데 기준을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A wideband instantaneous frequency measurement (IFM) system is been proposed, designed and analyzed. Phase modulation to intensity modulation conversion is implemented based on the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) effect, and the microwave frequency can be measured by detecting the change in output power. Theoretical analysis shows that the frequency measurement range can be extended to 4f_b by adjusting the two sweeping signals of the phase modulators with a difference of 2f_b. The IFM system is set up using VPI transmission maker software and the performances are simulated and analyzed. The simulation results show that the measurement range is 0.5-45.96 GHz with a maximum measurement error of less than 9.9 MHz. The proposed IFM system has a wider measurement range than the existing SBS-based IFM system.

Evaluation of radiating radiofrequency fields from hand-held and body-mounted wireless communication devices to human bodies are conducted by measuring the specific absorption rate (SAR). The uncertainty of system validation and probe calibration in SAR measurement depend on the variation of RF power used for the validation and calibration. RF input power for system validation or probe calibration is controlled manually during the test process of the existing systems in the laboratories. Consequently, a long time is required to reach the stable power needed for testing that will cause less uncertainty. The standard uncertainty due to this power drift is typically 2.89%, which can be obtained by applying IEC 62209 in a normal operating condition. The principle of the Automatic Input Power Level Control System (AIPLC), which controls the equipment by a program that maintains a stable input power level, is suggested in this paper. The power drift is reduced to less than ${\pm}1.16dB$ by AIPLC, which reduces the standard uncertainty of power drift to 0.67%.

In order to improve the performance of analysis, it is important to consider the nonlinearity in power system. The Carleman embedding technique (linearization procedure) provides an effective approach in reduction of nonlinear systems. In the approach, a group of differential equations in which the state variables are formed by the original state variables and the vector monomials one can build with products of positive integer powers of them, is constructed. In traditional Carleman linearization technique, the tensor matrix is truncated to form a square matrix, and then regular linear system theory is used to solve the truncated system directly. However, it is found that part of nonlinear information is neglected when truncating the Carleman model. This paper proposes a new approach to solve the problem, by combining the Poincar$\acute{e}$ transformation with the Carleman linearization. Case studies are presented to verify the proposed method. Modal analysis shows that, with traditional Carleman linearization, the calculated contribution factors are not symmetrical, while such problems are avoided in the improved approach.

국내 교량들의 노후화 진행에 따라 구조물의 지속적인 안전관리를 위한 실시간 계측 기반의 교량 관리시스템이 필요하다. 현재 교량 계측시스템 기술은 대형 단일 교량의 계측을 중심으로 발전하여 유선을 기반으로 전원을 공급하고 계측 데이터를 수집한다. 하지만 산발적으로 분포하는 중소교량에는 위치적 문제로 인해 유선 기반 계측시스템을 적용하기 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 중소교량을 대상으로 무선 기반 계측시스템을 구축하는 방안을 제안하였다. 제안한 무선 기반 계측시스템은 기존 유선 기반의 계측시스템의 한계를 극복하기 위해 태양광 발전을 통해 무선 전원을 확보하였으며, LTE 통신을 활용하여 데이터를 송출하게 하였다. 또한, 교량 계측시스템의 관리를 위한 시스템 원격 제어 방안과 전원 관리 방안도 제안되었다. 제안한 계측시스템의 검증을 위해 실제 지방도상의 교량 32개소에 설치되었으며, 1년간의 장기 계측데이터를 수집하였다. 설치된 테스트 베드에서 80.6%의 계측데이터 취득이 가능함을 확인하여 제안한 계측시스템의 운용 가능성을 검증하였다. 제안된 시스템 구축방안은 지방도상 노후 교량들의 안전감시에 활용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

The linear polarization resistance method is one of the widely used techniques for the corrosion rate monitoring in the water circulating systems of plants. The measurement is simple and rapid, so that a continuous on-line monitoring is possible without any shutdown of plants. A 2-electrode polarization corrosion rate measurement system was installed in a laboratory using a data acquisition board and PC. The signal processing parameters were optimized for the accurate corrosion rate measurement, and the polarization resistance was compensated with the solution resistance measured by the high frequency sine wave signal of an output channel. The precision of corrosion rate data was greatly improved by removing the initial noise signals on measuring the polarization resistance.

In Korea Electric Power Corporation (or KEPCO), several Demand-Side Management (or DSM) program have been carried out to effectively meet electric power demand at least costs by modifying customers electricity use patterns. As one of them, KEPCO applies low-priced night thermal-storage power service for heat appliances to facilitate efficient use of power facilities by shifting relatively high daytime demands to night hours to build loads during the off-peak periods. In the market of heat-storage type water-heater, electric water-heater has been mostly used, but it has low energy efficiency and needs high capacity electric equipments. So in order to replace these electric water heaters, 15 HP air-source heat pump water heater is developed in Korea Electric Research Institute (or KEPRI). This paper shows that measurement system for performance testing of heat pump water heater is established and heating capacity and performance is analyzed and measured for out-door environmental change.
