모돈은 교배, 임신, 분만, 포유, 이유를 순환적 반복을 요구하는 개체로서 스마트 농장 시스템의 생산성 향상에 있어서 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 모돈 능력의 극대화 및 최적의 시스템 관리를 위해서 초음파 센서를 활용한 모돈의 지제 이상 징후를 실시간으로 계측할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 이 시스템은 높이에 따라 상-중-하(30 cm 간격), 위치에 따라 전면부-후면부에 초음파 센서를 설치하고 이를 마이크로 컨트롤러에 연결하여 모돈의 지제 이상 유무 측정이 가능하도록 하였다. 모돈의 체형과 위치를 고려하여 설치된 초음파 센서의 위치 조절이 가능하도록 하였다. 또한 소형 LCD 모듈을 내장하여 실시간 모니터링이 가능하도록 하였으며, 측정된 데이터는 저장장치인 microSD 카드에 저장되도록 하였다. 모돈사의 환경을 고려하여 방밀형 구조로 하우징 마감하였다. 이 모돈 지체 이상 분석 시스템에 사용된 툴은 C언어를 이용하였다. 건강한 모돈을 대상으로 모돈의 지제의 관찰을 위하여 총 12회의 현장 실증실험이 수행되었으며, 현장 실증 시험 중 소요된 시간은 현장의 상황에 따라 다소 상이하였다 (8시간-28일). 높이 상에 위치한 전면부 및 후면부 초음파 센서 모두에서 모돈이 검출이 된 경우 정상 기립으로 간주하였고, 높이 상에 위치한 전면-후면부 초음파 센서 모두에서 모돈이 검출이 되지 않은 경우 정상적으로 누워 있는 걸로 간주하였다. 높이 하에 위치한 전면부 혹은 후면부 초음파 센서 한곳만 모돈이 검출된 경우 비정상적인 기립으로 간주하였다. 취득된 데이터를 분석한 결과 모돈의 정상적 상태 (기립상태, 누운 상태, 앉은 상태)와 그 외의 비정상적 상태로 분류가 가능하다. 또한 측정된 초음파 센서의 진동의 유무 및 파동형태에 따라서 모돈의 상태 예측이 가능하다. 초음파 센서의 진동 파동이 크고 안정된 상태인 경우 정상적인 활동 상태로 판단하였으며, 진동 파동이 작고 안정적인 경우는 수면 상태로 분류하였다. 실시간으로 지속적인 데이터 획득을 위하여 차후 초음파 센서 및 시스템의 보완작업이 필요하다. 이와같은 모돈의 행동 패턴에 따른 취득된 데이터를 분류하여 모돈의 발정에 의한 행동 특성(기립시간) 분석에 따른 발정 적기 발견 및 정량화 기술 개발에 활용이 가능하다.

Although commercial PIV systems have been widely used for the non-intrusive velocity field measurement of fluid flows, they are still under development and have considerable room for improvement. In this study, a single-frame double-exposure PIV system using a high-resolution CCD camera was developed. A pulsed Nd:Yag laser and high-resolution CCD camera were synchronized by a home-made control circuit. In order to resolve the directional ambiguity problem encountered in the single-frame PIV technique, the second particle image was genuinely shifted in the CCD sensor array during the time interval dt. The velocity vector field was determined by calculating the displacement vector at each interrogation window using cross-correlation with 50% overlapping. In order to check the effect of spatial resolution of CCD camera on the accuracy of PIV velocity field measurement, the developed PIV system with three different resolution modes of the CCD camera (512 ${\times}$ 512, lK ${\times}$ IK, 2K ${\times}$ 2K) was applied to a turbulent flow which simulate the Zn plating process of a steel strip. The experimental model consists of a snout and a moving belt. Aluminum flakes about $1{\mu}m$ diameter were used as scattering particles for the liquid flow in the zinc pot and the gas flow above the zinc surface was seeded with atomized olive oil with an average diameter of 1-$3{\mu}m$. Velocity field measurements were carried out at the strip speed $V_s$=1.0 m/s. The 2K ${\times}$ 2K high-resolution PIV technique was significantly superior compared to the smaller pixel resolution PIV system. For the cases of 512 ${\times}$ 512 and 1K ${\times}$ 1K pixel resolution PIV system, it was difficult to get accurate flow structure of viscous flow near the wall and small vortex structure in the region of large velocity gradient.

It is well known that the MDVR beamforming outperforms the conventional delay-sum beamformer in the sense of noise rejection and bearing resolution. However, the MDVR method requires long observation time to achieve high frequency resolution. The STMV method uses the steered covariance matrix of sensor data, so it has an ability to form an adaptive weight vector from a single time-series snapshot. But it uses the same weight vector across all frequencies. In this paper, we propose an SSMV method. The basic idea of the SSMV method is to decompose a full frequency band into several subbands to acquire a weight vector for each subband, individually. Also the wrap may be divided into several subarrays in order to reduce a computational load and the bandwidth of each subband. Simulations using real sea trial data show that the proposed SSMV method has good performance with short observation time.

In this paper, we propose the non-contact gesture recognition algorithm using 4- channel electrometer sensor array. ELF(Extremely Low Frequency) EMI and PLN are minimized because ambient electromagnetic noise around sensors has a significant impact on entire data in indoor environments. In this study, we transform AC-type data into DC-type data by applying a 10Hz LPF as well as a maximum buffer value extracting algorithm considering H/W sampling rate. In addition, we minimize the noise with the Kalman filter and extract 2-dimensional movement information by taking difference value between two cross-diagonal deployed sensors. We implemented the DTW gesture recognition algorithm using extracted data and the time delayed information of peak values. Our experiment results show that average correct classification rate is over 95% on five-gesture scenario.

The dynamic behavior of a small wind-turbine blade was analyzed experimentally. Arrays of fiber Bragg-Grating (FBG) sensors attached along the blade were used to measure the strains of the blade surface. An impact test was performed to estimate the resonance frequencies of the fundamental and higher modes of the cantilever blade system developed for this study. The results were similar to the results for conventional strain gages. However, FBG sensors could sense modes that strain gauges could not sense. The strains obtained from the FBG sensor array were used to estimate displacement-mode shapes of the blade.

A novel antifuse has been developed for field programmable gate arrays (FPGA's) as a voltage programmable link with Al/$BaTiO_3/SiO_2$/TiW-silicide. The proper program voltage can be obtained by adjusting the deposition thickness of $BaTiO_3$ film. When a negative voltage was applied at bottom TiW-silicide electrode of the antifuse, based on $BaTiO_3(120{\AA})$/$SiO_2(120{\AA})$, the program voltage was about l4.4V and on-resistances were ranged between 40 and $50{\Omega}$. The current-voltage characteristics of antifuses are consistent with a Frenkel-Poole conduction model. However, there are some deviations depending on bias polarity that are probably due to the difference in the interface properties between Al/$BaTiO_3$ and TiW-silicide/$SiO_2$.

The aim of this study was to develop a portable electronic nose system for freshness measurement of stored pork. An electronic nose system was constructed using seven different MOS sensor array. To determine the quality change of pork with storage time, the samples were divided into ten groups in terms of storage time with an increment of 2 day up to 19 storage days. GC-MS, total bacteria's count (TBC), thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS), and pH analyses as well as the analysis of the electronic nose system measurement were performed to monitor the freshness change of the samples. To investigate the performance of the electronic nose system for detecting the change of freshness of pork, the acquired signal values of the system were compared with those of GC-MS, TBC, TBARS, and pH analysis values. According to principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) with the signals of the electronic nose system for the pork samples, the sample groups were clearly separated into two groups of 1-9 days and 11-19 days, and four groups of 1-3 days, 5-9 days, 11 days, and 13-19 days respectively. The results show that the electronic nose system has potential for evaluating freshness of pork.

Recently, with the growth of various sensor applications, the need of wireless communication systems which can support variable data rate is increasing. Therefore, advanced ZigBee (AZB) systems that support the various data rate under 250 kbps are proposed. However, the preamble structure for AZB systems causes the complexity increase of time synchronization circuits. In this paper, we propose preamble structure and time synchronization algorithm which can solve the problem of the complexity increase of time synchronization circuits. Implementation results show that the proposed time synchronizer for AZB systems include the logic slices of 6.92 k and, which are reduced at the rate of 62.3% compared with existing architecture.

Among the sensors mainly used for displacement measurement, there are a linear CCD(Charge Coupled Device) and a PSD(Position Sensitive Detector) as a non-contact type. Their structures are different very much, which means that the signal processing of both sensors should be applied in the different ways. Most of the displacement measurement systems to get the 3-D shape profile of an object using a linear CCD are a computer-based system. It means that all of algorithms and mathematical operations are performed through a computer program to measure the displacement. However, in this paper, the developed system has microprocessor and other digital components that make the system measure the displacement of an object without a computer. The thing different from the previous system is that AVR microprocessor and FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) technology, and a comparator is used to play the role of an A/D(Analog to Digital) converter. Furthermore, an ATC(Automatic Threshold Control) algorithm is applied to find the highest pixel data that has the real displacement information. According to the size of the light circle incident on the surface of the CCD, the threshold value to remove the noise and useless data is changed by the operation of AVR microprocessor. The total system consists of FPGA, AVR microprocessor, and the comparator. The developed system has the improvement and shows the better performance than the system not using the ATC algorithm for displacement measurement.
