In recent years, as the electonic industry has become more advanced, the LPM(Linear Pulse Motor) has appeared in a wide range of applications because of easier control, operation by open-loop control, high positioning accuracy, and retrieval of position or velocity data by the input pulses. In this study, we deal with the development of a position detection device attached to a hybrid LPM in our laboratory. Precise position detection signals could be sensed by the synchronous rectifier method from the LPM stator scale. In addition, we can keep the amplitude constant by using an AGC(Automatic Gain Control) circuit. Experimental results show that the position data is good enough to perform the LPM position control.

Physical changes in a structural system may cause changes in mechanical impedance of the system. Due to the electro-mechanical coupling effect in piezoelectric materials, this change can be monitoring by the electrical impedance of the piezoelectric sensor. In this paper, the variability of electro-mechanical impedance caused by temperature effect is assessed to adjust impedance data used for EMI based damage detection in beams. First experiments on beams are described. Next, experiments were performed under the temperature varying condition, in the range of $3^{\circ}C\;to\;23^{\circ}C$. Finally, the relationship between temperatures and impedance signatures is analyzed empirically temperature-frequency patten for the test structure.

The objective of this study is to analyze the performance of digital low-pass differentiators(LPD) and then to provide a method to select effective LPD filter, for detecting spikes of surface motor unit action potentials(MUAP). The successful spike detection of MUAPs is a first important step for EMG signal decomposition. The performances of simple and weighted LPD(SLPD and WLPD) filters are analyzed based on different filter lengths and varying MUAPs from simulated surface EMG signals. The SNR improving coefficient and effective MUAP duration range from the analysis results can be used to select proper LPD filters under the varying conditions of surface EMG.

Vibration monitoring of rolling element bearings is probably the most established diagnostic technique for rotating machinery. Acoustic Emission (AE) Analysis is an extremely powerful technology that can be used within a wide range of applications of non destructive testing. Therefor, this paper investigates the detection methods using AE for rolling element bearings about low-speed. Two transducers, the accelerometer and acoustic emission sensor, are used to acquire data and the results are compared for the capacity of early fault detection.

DC motor is easy to control and can make torque easily. DC motor uses wide range. But DCmotor have limited by using a brush and structural complexity. But, BLDC doesn't have brush so that is more simple than DC motor, and the rotor of BLDC motor is made by permanent magnet that dose not need to make a fixed flux speed for flux current. BLDC motor is very efficiency, controllable, and reliable. This paper presents an error detection with a BLDC motor current. Generally, BLDC motor current is used to current feedback, so that can make a critical fault in the system. this paper suggests to detect error by inspection of threshold current value both positive and negative.

A paper chromatographical method is studied to detect As and Sb from a mixed sample applying the principle of Gutzeit's. After spoting the mixed $AsH_3$ sample on the $AgNO_3$ band of paper strip (6 mm $\times$ 300 mm of Whatman No.52 or Toyo No.2 filter paper), the strip is developed by ascending method using N-HCl solution as a developing soluvent. The color spot detection of As and Sb is done by exposing the dried chromatogram to $H_2S$ stream. According to the experiments, the detectable minimum range of As is 3 micrograms and that of Sb is 15 micrograms. The yellow phosphorous interfers to the color spot detection of As and Sb, so that, previously the most of yellow phosphorous from the sample should be removed out.

Today, the obstacle detection system has massive size and restrictive detection range. To solve these problems, this paper proposes the capacitance variation detector using the variated capacitance value as a result of the obstacle approaching. If obstacle approaches, the capacitance value of capacitance sensor is increased and the operating frequency of oscillator is decreased. Then this changed frequency appears to the output of the mixer that operate down conversion. The capacitance variation detector is produced by Hynix$0.35{\mu}$ CMOS process. In experiment result, the frequency of final output is 6.81 MHz at no obstacle and 31.45 MHz at approaching obstacle. In conclusion, proposed capacitance variation detector has small size, low power consumption and easiness to set up anywhere. So it is expected to substitute the obstacle detector.

A laser scanning fluorescence microscope system has been fabricated for single molecule detection (SMD). Problems associated with the system set-up have been discussed along with proper suggestions. Based on the SMD results obtained by using the apparatus, a statistical method has been suggested to determine the minimum number of required molecules to form a group of uniform average in a selected error range.

The FMCW(Frequency Modulation Continuous Wave) radar possesses range-velocity ambiguity to identify the correct combination of beat frequencies for each target in the multi-target situation. It can lead to ghost targets and missing targets, and it can reduce the detection probability. In this pap er, we propose an effective identification algorithm for the correct pairs of beat frequencies and the signal processing hardware architecture to effectively support the algorithm. First, using the correlation of the detected up- and down-beat frequencies and Doppler frequencies, the possible combinations are determined. Then, final pairing algorithm is completed with the power spectrum density of the correlated up- and down-beat frequencies. The proposed hardware processor has the basic architecture consisting of beat-frequency registers, pairing table memory, and decision unit. This method will be useful to improve the radar detection probability and reduce the false alarm rate.

In speech signal processing, it is necessary to detect exactly the pitch. The algorithms of pitch extraction with have been proposed until now are difficult to detect pitches over wide range speech signals. In this paper, thus, we proposed a new pitch detection algorithm that used a low pass filter with variable bandwidth. It is the method that preprosses to find the first formant of speech signals by the FFT at each frame and detects the pitches for signals LPFed with the cut off frequency according to the first formant. Applying the method, we obtained the pitch contours, improving the accuracy of pitch detection in some noise environments.
