Insulation aging diagnosis system provides early warning in regard to electrical equipment defects. Early warning is very important in that it can avoid great losses resulting from unexpected shutdown of the production line. For solving this problem, many researchers proposed a method that diagnose power plant by using partial discharge. In this paper, we design the intelligent sensor to diagnose insulation degradation state that uses a Microprocessor and Al. Proposed sensor has MCU that is used to diagnose insulation degradation and communicate with main IDD system. And we use a fuzzy model to diagnose insulation degradation.

In this research, we produced a simple momentum measurement system which figures out information for the real-time travel distance with modularizing a momentum measurement system by using the acceleration sensor, MCU and Bluetooth to measure the exact momentum. In the simulation experiments, we compared the reliability and accuracy of the new momentum measurement system with those of existing momentum measurement systems to confirm that the new momentum measurement system shows superior reliability and accuracy. Base on this results, we will produce the enhanced momentum measurement system, compact and possible to shoe-mount, in future.

In this research, we propose a momentum measurement system using the accelerometer sensor, MCU, and Bluetooth to measure the exact momentum. The proposed system can figure out information for the real time travel distance. We performed various experiments, and analyzed the results using the proposed momentum measurement system. In the simulation experiments, we compared the reliability and accuracy for the existing momentum measurement systems from the analyzed results. The proposed system showed travel distance error of less than 8% as compared to the existing system with the error of approximately 13%. We expect that the proposed system apply to the commercial products.

We have developed the FDSS (Fine Digital Sun Sensor) for the space technology of the STSAT-2 (Seience & Technology Satellite 2). The FDSS is firstly developed by using CMOS image sensor(CIS) in South Korea. The FDSS consists of the optics part, FPGA(Field Programable Gate Array) part, and MCU(Micro controller unit)part. This paper will focus on the optical characteristics of the optics part and describe the configuration of FDSS with the design of aperture. We also analyze the characteristic of optics about the pixel of the CMOS image sensor.

Many studies have examined robot control using human bio signals but complicated signal processing and expensive hardware are necessary. This study proposes a method to recognize a human's hand motion using a low-cost EMG sensor and Flex sensor. The method to classify movement of the hand and finger is determined from the change in output voltage measured through MCU. The analog reference voltage is determined to be 3.3V to increase the resolution of movement identification through experiment. The robotic hand is designed to realize the identified movement. The hand has four fingers and a wrist that are controlled using pneumatic cylinders and a DC servo motor, respectively. The results show that the proposed simple method can realize human hand motion in a remote environment using the fabricated robotic hand.

In this paper, we propose a Micro Real-Time Control System (MRTCS) for decreasing the delay during interrupts processing and data transfer on sensor nodes. The MRTCS consists of a control, sensor nodes based on Controller Area Network (CAN) device. The control node was designed with Real Time Operating System (RTOS) on top of the small Micro Control Unit (sMCU). Sensor nodes have the CAN device without sMCU, which have multiple Digital Inputs, Outputs (DI/DO) and the CAN controller. We have evaluated with OCTAVE v3.6.4 from open source for system performance. Simulation results show that the system performance was increased through the delay reducing for interrupt processing and internal data transfer. We verify that a proposed MRTCS approach will be adapted to various real-time control system.

Sensing module of standing and moving human body using shutter method was developed. The module consists of Fresnel lens, pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensor, interface circuit of the PIR, micro control unit(MCU), and alarm light emitting diode(LED). The principle for standing human body is chopping the thermal of human body using camera shutter. The human sensing signal in MCU by algorithm of interrupt function is detected. By unifying an apparatus and print circuit board(PCB), the developed module can be replaced as commercial moving human body detector. Experiment results show that sensing distance is about 7.0m and sensing angles is about $110^{\circ}$ at room temperature. In these condition, sending ratio was 100% and the power dissipation of the module was 100mW.

In this paper, the driving information system of the bicycle has been studied by using the 3-axis acceleration sensor. The sensor module composed of 3-axis acceleration sensor and MCU(Microcontroller Unit) was mounted onto the handle of bicycle and the experiments were conducted on the flatland, uphill and downhill of bicycle road. Three axis acceleration values were converted to the pitch and roll angles, then four major compensation methods have been applied to achieve meaningful data for driving information system. The experimental results of pitch angles showed 2.46, -1.26, 7.79 degrees in case of flatland, uphill, downhill, respectively. When the steering handle turned to the left direction, roll angles showed -29.35, -41.67, -36.98 degrees at each road condition. With the right-turn, roll angles presented 20.05, 33.75, 24.44 degrees in case of flatland, uphill, and downhill, respectively. The pitch angle has been increased more than 40 degrees at stop mode. By using the change of pitch and roll angles, we could obtain the driving information system of bicycle successfully.
