Recent advances in room-temperature, visible and near-IR diode laser sources for telecommunication, optical data storage applications are enabling combustion diagnostics system based on diode laser absorption spectroscopy. In contrast to some traditional sampling-based gas-sensing instruments, tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy system is advantageous because of their non-invasive nature, high sensitivity, fast response time and real-time measurement capability. So, combined with fiber-optics and high sensitive detection strategies, compact and portable sensor system arc now appearing for a variety of applications. The objective of this research is to take advantage of distributed feed-back diode laser and measure the $CO_{2}$ concentration (by using direct absorption and wavelength modulation spectroscopy methods). In addition to survey spectra of $CO_{2}$ bands and spectroscopic parameters between 1565 and 1579 run were computed at temperatures between 296 and 1200 K (by using HITRAN 2000 database). It experimentally found out that the features of direct absorption and wavelength modulation spectroscopy methods.

Plantar pressure data can be used not only for walking patterns in daily life, but also for eating, health care, and disease prevention. For this reason, the importance of plantar pressure measurement has recently increased. However, most systems that can measure both static and dynamic plantar pressure at the same time are expensive, not portable, and not universal. In this study, we propose a system that effectively reduces the number of sensors in plantar pressure system. Through this, we want to increase the economics and practicality by reducing the size and weight of the system, as well as the power consumption. First, for static plantar pressure and dynamic plantar pressure, the values measured by existing precision instruments are analyzed to determine how many measurement parts the insole is divided into. Next, for the divided measuring parts, the position of the sensor is determined by calculating the Center of Pressure (COP) for each part with the values of all dynamic and static plantar pressure sensors. Finally, in order to construct a personalized plantar pressure measurement system, we propose a weighting method for the static plantar pressure COP and the dynamic plantar pressure COP for each part.

A reliable voltage measurement system is necessary to monitor status of power facilities in substations, which is easy to set up and is not influenced by electromagnetic interference in and around substation. In this paper, we described a voltage measurement system (VMS) which is composed of a capacitive voltage probe, an impedance converter, and an optical linker. To get a wide-band characteristic of the VMS, a high speed impedance converter was used, and the output impedance of the VMS was set at $50{\Omega}$ to match any types of observing instruments. The frequency bandwidth of the VMS. which was estimated by a step pulse, was ranges from 11.42 Hz to 13.65 MHz, and the VMS showed a good response characteristic in a high frequency domain such as impulse voltages as well as a commercial frequency voltage.

This paper describes the design of a rectangular-type four-finger rehabilitation robot for flexibility rehabilitation of stroke patients' fingers and other patient's paralyzed fingers. The four-finger rehabilitation robot is composed of a body and each finger rehabilitation robot instrument. The four-finger rehabilitation robot could exercise four fingers (forefinger, middle finger ring finger and little finger) of patient for their rehabilitation. The four-finger rehabilitation robot instruments move according to the trace which spread out the patient's fingers and then turn them inward for the fingers' flexibility, while at the same time performing the force control with the reference forces for fingers' safety, simultaneously. A control characteristic test of the developed rectangular-type four-finger rehabilitation robot was carried out, and the results confirmed that the robot could be used for the flexibility rehabilitation exercise for the fingers of normal person and patients.

The particle matter concentrations in the subway stations should be monitored and controlled for the health of commuters on the subway system. Seoul Metro and Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation are measuring several air pollutants regularly. In this paper, the reliability of the cheap instruments using light scattering method is improved with the help of a linear regression analysis technique to measure the $PM_{10}$ concentrations continuously in the subway stations. In addition, a monitoring system is implemented to display and record the data of $PM_{10}$, $CO_2$, humidity, and temperature. To transmit and receive these measured sensor data, CDMA M2M wireless communication method is applied.

This paper presents preliminarily an implementation of digital high-performance motion control system of Reluctance Synchronous Motor (RSM) drives with direct torque control (DTC). The system consist of stator flux observer, torque estimator, two hysteresis band controllers, an optimal switching look-up table, IGBT voltage source inverter, and TMS320F240 DSP controller made by Texas Instruments. The stator fluff observer is based on the combined voltage and current model with stator flux feedback adaptive control, and the input of the observer are the stator voltage and current of motor terminal for wide speed range. The rotor position and speed sensor used 6000 pulse/rev encoder. In order to prove rightness of the suggested control algorithm, we have some simulation and actual experimental system at $\pm$20 and $\pm$2000 rpm. The developed digitally high-performance motion control system+ are shown a good response characteristic of control results and high performance features using 1.0kW RSM which has 2.57 Ld/Lq salient ratio.

A fault detection observer with finite time convergence characteristics(FT_FDO) is proposed and applied to a fault detection isolation system for a dynamic control system. The FT_FDO is a kind of dual state-observer scheme that provides with the state estimates insensitive to a specified fault and the corresponding fault estimate. The state estimates are processed to get the residual that will be logically compared with other residuals to detect and isolate the fault of interest, and the fault estimate may be used for fault compensation. The FDIS employing the FT_FDOs can be considered to be a multiple observer schemes(MOS) in which FT_FDOs are parallelly driven to generate a set of residuals to be compared each other. Due to the finite time convergence characteristics of the FT_FDO, the predetermined detection delay can be considered in the design stage of FDIS so that any fault of interest can be detected and identified in that time. It evidently resolves a well known difficulty of threshold selection owing to the transient responses of the fault detection observers(FDO) employed in FDIS. An FDIS is constructed for instruments(2-sensor, 1-actuator) in an inverted pendulum control system, and simulations are performed to show the performance of the FDIS and fault tolerant control system.

Occurrence of process environment changes, such as influent load variances and process condition changes, can reduce treatment efficiency, increasing effluent water quality. In order to prevent exceeding effluent standards, it is necessary to manage effluent water quality based on process operation data including influent and process condition before exceeding occur. Accordingly, the development of the effluent water quality prediction system and the application of technology to wastewater treatment processes are getting attention. Therefore, in this study, through the multi-channel measuring instruments in the bio-reactor and smart multi-item water quality sensors (location in bio-reactor influent/effluent) were installed in The Seonam water recycling center #2 treatment plant series 3, it was collected water quality data centering around COD, T-N. Using the collected data, the artificial intelligence-based effluent quality prediction model was developed, and relative errors were compared with effluent TMS measurement data. Through relative error comparison, the applicability of the artificial intelligence-based effluent water quality prediction model in wastewater treatment process was reviewed.

To select kernels for breeding that have required constituent content from either naturally distributed samples or artificially mutated ones, it is necessary to process batch samples in a short time. The constituent content of single-kernel grains such as wheat and rice has been determined using conventional bench type NIR instruments; however, it takes a lot of time and effort. Shizuoka Seiki (Fukuroi-city, Japan) and NFRI (National Food Research Institute) of MAFF (Ministry of Agriculture, forestry and Fisheries of Japan) have jointly developed a continuous high-speed single-kernel brown rice sorting machine based on rice protein content. It consists of several sections such as a feeding mechanism, measuring unit, sorting mechanism and controlling PC. The feeding mechanism picks up single-kernel brown rice from the hopper (maximum of 5kg storage capacity) and sends it to the measuring unit. A spectrum of the brown rice is obtained in the measuring unit, which consists of a near-infrared array sensor. The brown rice is then sorted in the sorting mechanism based on its protein content estimated by the controlling PC. In the present study, measuring speed was approximately 500ms for the full spectrum range and overall sorting speed was approximately 2.8s for one kernel. Accuracy of estimation was approximately SEP=0.5% of dry matter protein content for nonglutinous rice.

The performance test is conducted for the purpose of determining the accurate thermal performance of the power generation facility or deriving the factors of thermal efficiency degradation. Compared to the acquisition method of power plant thermal performance test data by compensating cable or transmission cable, performance test using wireless instrument can acquire digital data in order to shorten the period due to installation and demolition of instrument and enhance safety of workers and relatively accurate data can be acquired thereby improving work efficiency. Wireless instruments have already been introduced to the market a long time ago, and some of them are used in industry such as petrochemical industry. However, there is no example which has been conducted for performance test of power generation facilities. In order to apply power generation facilities, a reliable system capable of acquiring performance data smoothly without affecting the control system is required. The wireless measurement system can eliminate the measurement defects and errors such as the damage due to the movement of the connecting cable, the extension due to the extension of the shield wire, the contact failure at the contact point between the measuring sensor and the connecting wire, This method has the advantage of collecting relatively accurate performance test data.
