In this study, a methodology is developed and confirmed to find the physical contact between the slider and disc due to the defects of disk during head seeking operation using acoustic emission (AE) signal. The head/disk contact was detected during random and standard seeks, whereas no contact was detected during track fellowing. During standard and random seeks, the torsion mode of slider excitation was observed at 680KHz. Therefore, it is thought that AE technique can be used as an alternative method of the glide test by monitoring existence of the torsional mode of the slider during seek operation or can be used to detect the spacing loss during seeking operation. By appropriately choosing the location of the sensor an order of magnitude increase in the sensitivity for RMS AE signal is observed. Therefore we can find take-off velocity clearly with high signal to noise ratio of AE signal.

A structural health monitoring (SHM) technique for locating impact position in a composite plate is presented in this paper. The technique employs a single sensor and spatial focusing properties of time reversal (TR) and inverse filtering (IF). We first examine the focusing effect of back-propagated signal at the impact position and its surroundings through simulation. Impact experiments are then carried out and the localization images are found using the TR and IF signal processing, respectively. Both techniques provide accurate impact location results. Compared to existing techniques for locating impact or acoustic emission source, the proposed methods have the benefits of using a single sensor and not requiring knowledge of material properties and geometry of structures. Furthermore, it does not depend on a particular mode of dispersive Lamb waves that is frequently used in the SHM of plate-like structures.

In this paper, we suggest that how to improve an accuracy of mobile robot's localization by using the sensor network information which fuses the machine vision camera, encoder and IMU sensor. The heading value of IMU sensor is measured using terrestrial magnetism sensor which is based on magnetic field. However, this sensor is constantly affected by its surrounding environment. So, we isolated template of ceiling using vision camera to increase the sensor's accuracy when we use IMU sensor; we measured the angles by pattern matching algorithm; and to calibrate IMU sensor, we compared the obtained values with IMU sensor values and the offset value. The values that were used to obtain information on the robot's position which were of Encoder, IMU sensor, angle sensor of vision camera are transferred to the Host PC by wireless network. Then, the Host PC estimates the location of robot using all these values. As a result, we were able to get more accurate information on estimated positions than when using IMU sensor calibration solely.

연속개체는 크기가 크며, 확산하는 특징이 있다. 따라서 연속개체 탐지에서는 소스가 매우 많이 발생하며, 계속해서 새로운 소스가 발생하는 점을 고려해야 한다. 기존 연속개체 탐지 연구들은 탐지 정보를 고정된 싱크로 전달하는 상황만을 고려하고, 많은 소스로부터 발생하는 통신비용을 줄이기 위해 노력했다. 본 논문에서는 연속개체 탐지에서 효율적으로 이동싱크를 지원하는 방안을 제안한다. 이동싱크가 데이터를 받기 위해서는 소스에게 자신의 현재 위치를 알려야 한다. 기존 이동싱크 지원 방안들은 개별개체를 대상으로 했다. 이를 연속개체 탐지에 그대로 적용하면 연속개체의 수많은 소스들에게 개별적으로 현재 위치를 알려야 하며, 이는 심각한 에너지 낭비를 초래한다. 제안방안은 연속개체의 소스들의 지역성을 이용하여 이동싱크의 현재위치를 연속개체의 소스들에게 효율적으로 전달한다. 실험 결과는 제안방안이 기존 방안에 비해 이동싱크의 위치갱신을 수행할 때 더 적은 에너지를 소모함을 보인다.

위치를 추적하기 위해 사용되는 대표적인 방법은 위성항법시스템(GPS)과 관성 항법장치(INS)이다. 위성항법장치는 어떤 한 지점에 대해 오차가 발생할 수 있으나 누적 오차가 없다는 장점이 있다. 위치 정보를 얻기 위해서 3개 이상의 위성으로부터 GPS정보를 수신하여야 하나 수신 강도가 약하거나 터널과 같은 수신 불능지역인 지역에서는 위성항법시스템의 정보를 획득할 수 없다는 단점이 있다. 관성항법장치의 경우 자이로스코프 및 가속도계의 정보를 이용하여 항체의 위치 및 자세 정보를 수Hz부터 수백 Hz의 높은 데이터 송수신율로 속도 및 방향을 측정한다. 관성항법장치는 짧은 시간 동안 매우 정밀한 항법 성능을 나타내지만 가속도 및 각속도에서 속도성분으로 적분하는 과정에서 오차가 누적되어 시간이 경과함에 따라 항법 오차가 증가하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이 두 시스템의 단점을 상호 보완하여 위성항법장치와 관성항법장치의 위치 정보에 센서융합 알고리즘 적용 및 실험을 통하여 성능분석을 하였다. 위성항법시스템의 수신 불능지역에서는 측정된 데이터를 SVD를 이용하여 모델링한 후 위치 보정 알고리즘을 적용하여 위치 정보를 획득하는 실험 결과를 통해 확인한다.

선박 접안 유도시스템은 선박 내에 장착된 위치 기반 UWB(Ultra WideBand)와 해안에 설치된 리더기를 통해 받은 접안 지점 내의 선박 정박 유무 정보를 바탕으로 관제시스템이 접안을 요청한 선박에 대해 선박의 크기와 종류를 판별하여 그 결과에 따라 접안이 가능한 지점의 위치 정보를 해당 선박에 무선 송출하여 선박의 접안을 유도한다. 이는 선박의 정박시간 대기로 발생하는 불필요한 연료의 낭비와 접안 과정 중 발생하는 충돌 사고를 예방하여 안전성을 제시할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 위치기반 UWB를 이용한 선박 접안 유도시스템의 테스트베드를 구현하였다. 또한 java 기반의 사용자 인터페이스를 구현하여 모바일 기기 등을 통해 실시간으로 동종의 선박들 가운데에서 사용자의 선박의 위치를 쉽게 인지할 수 있도록 정박 위치 정보를 제공하는 편의성을 제공한다.

Distributed piezoelectric sensor and actuator have been designed for efficient vibration control of a cantilevered beam. Both PZT and PVDF are used in this study, the former as an actuator and the latter as a sensor for our integrated structure. For the PZT actuator, the position and size have been optimized. Optimal electrode shape of the PVDF sensor has been determined. For multi-mode vibration control, we have used two PZT actuators and a PVDF sensor. Electrode shading of PVDF is more powerful for modal force adjustment than the sizing and positioning of PZT. Finite element method is used to model the structure that includes the PZT actuator and the PVDF sensor. By deciding on or off of each PZT segment, the length and the location of the PZT actuator are optimize. Considering both of the host structure and the optimized actuators, it is designed that the active electrode width of PVDF sensor along the span of the beam. Actuator design is based on the criterion of minimizing the system energy in the control modes under a given initial condition. Sensor is designed to minimize the observation spill-over. Modal control forces for the residual(uncontrolled) modes have been minimized during the sensor design. Genetic algorithm, which is suitable for this kind of discrete problems, has been utilized for optimization. Discrete LQG control law has been applied to the integrated structure for real time vibration control. Performance of the sensor, the actuator, and the integrated smart structure has been demonstrated by experiments.

Accurate relative location estimation is a key requirement in indoor localization systems based on wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, although these systems have applied not only various optimization algorithms but also fusion with sensors to achieve high accuracy in position determination, they are difficult to provide accurate relative azimuth and locations to users because of cumulative errors in inertial sensors with time and the influence of external magnetic fields. This paper based on ultra-wideband positioning system, which is relatively suitable for indoor localization compared to other wireless communications, presents an indoor localization system for estimating relative azimuth and location of location-unaware nodes, referred to as target nodes without applying any algorithms with complex variable and constraints to achieve high accuracy. In the proposed method, the target nodes comprising three mobile nodes estimate the relative distance and azimuth from two reference nodes that can be installed by users. In addition, in the process of estimating the relative localization information acquired from the reference nodes, positioning errors are minimized through a novel modified rounding estimation technique in which Kalman filter is applied without any time consumption algorithms. Experimental results show the feasibility and validity of the proposed system.

This paper describes a location tracking system to guide landing process of an Unmanned Helicopter(UMH) exploiting MIT Cricket nodes. For automatic landing of a UMH, a precise positioning system is indispensable. However, GPS(Global Positioning System) is inadequate for tracking the three dimensional position of a UMH because of large positioning errors. The Cricket systems use Time-Difference-of-Arrival(TDoA) method with ultrasonic and RF(Radio Frequency) signals to measure distances. They operate in passive mode in that a listener attached to a moving device receives distance signals from several beacons located at fixed points on ground. Inevitably, this passive type of implementation causes large disturbances in measuring distances between beacons and the listener due to wind blow from propeller and turbulence of UMH body. To cope with this problem, we proposed active type of implementation for positioning a UMH. In this implementation, a beacon is set up at UMH body and four listeners are located at ground area at least where the UMH will land. A pair of Ultrasonic and RF signals from the beacon arrives at several listeners to calculate the position of the UMH. The distance signals among listeners are synchronized with a counter value appended to each distance signals from the beacon.
