In this paper, a novel impact sensing device for an ESAF(Electronic Safe and Arming Fuze) is presented. An impact sensing device is mounted in front of a weapon, and it detects an impact when it crashes against a target. There are two main design requirements to enhance the firing functional reliability of the ESAF; an operational reliability and a reduced latency, which is a delay time needed for sensing the impact. The design method of the contact-type impact sensing device, which employs an FPCB(Flexible Printed Circuit Board) so it can be used other weapons, is proposed. The tests demonstrated that the design described in this work show a reduced delay time with ensuring the operational reliability.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Force-Sensing Resistor (FSR) for measurement of static hindlimb weight distribution in beagle dogs and to compare these results to a Digital Weighing Scale (DWS). Nine healthy beagle dogs were recruited for this study. Static weight distribution was evaluated four times at intervals of 5 days with each device and two observers to calculate the intra- and interobserver reliability. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values of the FSR for intraobserver reliability were moderate to good (0.74). The results for the DWS showed poor to moderate (0.56) ICC values for intraobserver reliability. The ICC values for interobserver reliability were 0.53 and 0.61 for FSR and DWS, respectively, indicating poor to moderate agreement. Our findings suggest that the Force-Sensing Resistor can be used to measure static weight distribution in veterinary medicine. However, caution should be taken when comparing measured values of static weight distribution obtained utilizing both the FSR and DWS due to their low positive correlation (R = 0.41, p < 0.01).

최근 센싱 인터페이스의 소형화 및 경량화, 휴대형 컴퓨팅 자원의 성능 증가, 근거리 무선 통신 기술의 발전과 함께 휴대할 수 있는 생체신호 측정 인터페이스의 개발이 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 기존의 생체신호 측정 장치는 다채널 센싱, 무선 통신을 지원하는 방법의 개발에 초점이 맞추어져 있었다. 본 논문에서는 미래형 홈 환경에서 일상적으로 사용자의 생체신호를 획득하기에 용이한 돌 형태의 휴대형 생체신호 측정 인터페이스를 제안하고 경험적인 평가 방법으로 분석한다. 제안한 돌 센싱 인터페이스는 센싱하는 동안 사용자에게 심미감과 편안함을 주는 동시에 센싱의 안정성 및 신뢰성을 보장하여 실용적으로 사용할 수 있도록 한다. 심미감과 센싱 편안함을 만족하기 위해 사용자 중심의 디자인 기법을 적용하여 반복적으로 사용성 테스트를 진행하고 구조를 구체화 하였다. 또한, 안정적으로 센싱을 하기 위해 실험을 통해 움직임과 잡음에 최소한의 영향을 받는 센싱 위치를 선정하고 이를 센싱 인터페이스에 적용하였다. 향후 제안된 생체신호 측정 인터페이스는 미래형 홈 환경에서 다양한 건강관리 모니터링 시스템에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

This paper discusses a software reliability model for the distributed s-PCT algorithm fur remote sensing applications. The distributed algorithm is designed based on a Manager-Worker threading concept and goes further to use redundancy to achieve fault tolerance. The paper provides a status report on our progress in developing the reliability concept and applying it to create a model for the distributed s-PCT In particular, we are interested ill the algorithm performance versus reliability.

Satellites have provided the impetus for the orderly development of reliability engineering research and analysis because they tend to have complex systems and hence acute problems. They were instrumental in developing mathematical models for reliability, as well as design techniques to permit quantitative specification, prediction and measurement of reliability. Reliability engineering is based on implementing measures which insure an item will perform its mission successfully. The discipline of reliability engineering consists of two fundamental aspects; $(1^{st})$ paying attention to details, and $(2^{nd})$ handling uncertainties. This paper uses some of the basic concepts, formulas and examples of reliability theory in application. This paper emphasizes the practical reliability analysis of a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Micro-satellite power subsystem. Approaches for specifying and allocating the reliability of each element of the power system so as to meet the overall power system reliability requirements, as well as to give detailed modeling and predicting of equipment/system reliability are introduced. The results are handled and analyzed to form the final reliability results for the satellite power system. The results show that the Electric Power Subsystem (EPS) reliability meets the requirements with quad microcontrollers (MC), two boards working as main and cold redundant while each board contains two MCs in a hot redundant.

New sensing and writing schemes for a magneto-resistive random access memory (MRAM) with a twin cell structure are proposed. In order to enhance the cell reliability, a scheme of the low voltage precharge is employed to keep the magneto resistance (MR) ratio constant. Moreover, a common gate amplifier is utilized to provide sufficient voltage signal to the bit line sense amplifiers under the small MR ratio structures. To enhance the writing reliability, a current mode technique with tri-state current drivers is adopted. During write operations, the bit and /bit lines are connected. And 'HIGH' or 'LOW' data is determined in terms of the current direction flowing through the MTJ cell. With the viewpoint of the improved reliability of the cell behavior and sensing margin, HSPICE simulations proved the validity of the proposed schemes.

The underlying strategic issue for motor drives is maintaining cost while increasing certain dimensions of functionality. The dimensions of functionality which should increase include reliability and added value features such as providing continuous energy optimization, providing sensing of the driven system suitable for application specific diagnostic purposes, and providing continuously optimal thermal utilization of the capability of the drive. This paper will address each of these issues and discuss the technology status for each case, with a focus on research needed to fully deliver the needed functionality.

Spectrum sensing is an essential function that enables cognitive radio technology to explore spectral holes and resourcefully access them without any harmful interference to the licenses user. Spectrum sensing done by a single node is highly affected by fading and shadowing. Thus, to overcome this, cooperative spectrum sensing was introduced. Currently, the advancements in multiple antennas have given a new dimension to cognitive radio research. In this paper, we propose a multiple energy detector for cooperative spectrum sensing schemes based on the evidence theory. Also, we propose a reporting mechanism for multiple energy detectors. With our proposed system, we show that a multiple energy detector using a cooperative spectrum sensing scheme based on evidence theory increases the reliability of the system, which ultimately increases the spectrum sensing and reduces the reporting time. Also in simulation results, we show the probability of error for the proposed system. Our simulation results show that our proposed system outperforms the conventional energy detector system.
