In this paper, we address fault detection observer design problem of T-S fuzzy systems with sensor fault. To detect fault, T-S fuzzy model-based observer is used. By introducing $\mathfrak{H}$_ performance index, an observer is designed as sensitive to fault as possible. The fault is then detected by a fault decision logic. The design conditions are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities. An illustrative example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed fault detection technique.

In this paper, a new structure that can do fault detection and location of digial logic circuits more efficiently using current testing techniques is proposed. In the conventional method, observation point for steady state power supply current was only one, but in the proposed method more fault classes are divided for fault detection and location through the ovservation of steady state power supply current at two points. Also, it is shown that this structure can be easily applied in detection of stuck-open fault which is not easy to do testing with conventional current testing techniques. In the presented mehtod, an extra trasnistor is used, and current path is made compulsorily in the CMOS circuits in which no current path can be established in steady state, then it can be known that stuck-open tault is in the MOS transistor on the considering current path, if this path disappears due to stuck-open fault. The validity and the effectiveness is shwon, thorugh the SPICE simulation of circuits with fault and the current path search experiment using current path search program based on transistor short model wirtten in C language on SUN sparc workstation.

This paper proposes a fire detection algorithm using low-cost camera to detect visual features of fire. In the previous work sensor cameras were used, but here we use very simple cameras. This method uses YCbCr and YIQ color model to detect candidate regions of fire. The candidate areas are extracted from the boundaries of the fire. noise removal elimination is performed. Regardless of environmental changes around the fire area, the results of the proposed algorithm are very satisfactory.

A study is performed for the effective detection method of a fault which is occurred during operation in a small turbojet engine with non-linear characteristics used by unmanned air vehicle. For this study the non-linear dynamic model of the engine is derived from transient thermodynamic cycle analysis. Also for inducing real operation conditions the controller is developed associated with unscented Kalman filter to estimate noises. Sequential probability ratio test is introduced as a real time method to detect a fault which is manipulated for simulation as a malfunction of rotational speed sensor contaminated by large amount of noise. The method applied to the fault detection during operation verifies its effectiveness and high feasibility by showing good and definite decision performances of the fault.

In traditional fish farming way, the workers have to observe all of the pools every time and every day to feed at the right timing. This method causes tremendous stress on workers and wastes time. To solve this problem, we implemented an automatic detection system for feeding time using deep neural network. The detection system consists of two steps: classification of the presence or absence of feed and checking DO (Dissolved Oxygen) of the pool. For the classification, the pretrained ResNet18 model and transfer learning with custom dataset are used. DO is obtained from the DO sensor in the pool through HTTP in real time. For better accuracy, the next step, checking DO proceeds when the result of the classification is absence of feed several times in a row. DO is checked if it is higher than a DO reference value that is set by the workers. These actions are performed automatically in the UI programs developed with LabVIEW.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on a vibration-based damage identification framework for a steel girder type and a truss bridge based on acceleration responses to operational loading. The method relies on sensor clustering-based time-series analysis of the operational acceleration response of the bridge to the passage of a moving vehicle. The results are presented in terms of Damage Features from each sensor, which are obtained by comparing the actual acceleration response from the sensors to the predicted response from the time-series model. The damage in the bridge is detected by observing the change in damage features of the bridge as structural changes occur in the bridge. The relative severity of the damage can also be quantitatively assessed by observing the magnitude of the changes in the damage features. The experimental results show the potential usefulness of the proposed method for future applications on condition assessment of real-life bridge infrastructures.

Non-uniform minute deformation of a cylinderical workpiece resulted from the heat treatment process prior to the grinding makes it diffeclt to control the approaching feedrate of a grinding wheelto a workpiece optimallywithout on-site detection of the grinding states in the plunge grinding. The 4-stage model of the plunge grinding process is proposed according to the state of contact between grinding wheel and workpiece ; precontact, partial contact, entire contact and spark-out. Despite of being scrious to the precision of workpiece finished, the duration of spark-out is determined empirically. The purpose of this research is to develop a monitoring/control system for saving non- production time and setting the optimal spark-out time based on sensor information in the plunge grinding using AE and ultra sonic sensor.

An real-time active beacon localization system for mobile robots is developed and implemented. This system permits the estimation of robot positions when detecting light sources by PSD(Position Sensitive Detector) sensor which are placed sparsely over the robots work space as beacons(or landmarks). An LSE(Least Square Estimation) method is introduced to calibrate the internal parameters of a model for the beacon and robot position. The proposed system has two operational modes of position estimation. One is the initial position calculation by the detection of two or more light sources positions of which are known. The other is the continuous position compensation that calculates the position and heading of the robot using the IEKF(Iterated Extended Kalman Filter) applied to the beacon and dead-reckoning data. Practical experiments show that the estimated position obtained by this system is precise enough to be useful for the navigation of robots.

Even though the nuclear power plants has many advantages, safety issues of nuclear power plants are crucial factors of reliable operation. A tritium detector is a useful sensor to analyze amount of exposed radiation from the nuclear power plants. Currently, concentration of underwater tritium is measured precisely but it takes very long time. Since electrolysis is extracted hydrogen from the coolant of nuclear power plant, it can motivate to develop new type of real-time sensor. In this study, Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer is studied for candidate as preprocessor of real-time tritium detector. Characteristics of the unit PEM electrolyzer were experimentally investigated. A simulation model is developed to understand physical behavior of unit PEM electrolyzer under dynamic operation.

To define an analytical model for a structural system or to assess damage in the system, system identification(SI) methods have been developed and widely applied. The paper presents a method of determining optimal sensor location(OSL) based on the maximum likelihood approach, which is applicable to modal SI methods. To estimate unknown parameters reliably, it is necessary that the information provided by the experiment should be maximized. By applying the Cramer-Rao inequality, a Fisher information matrix in terms of the probability density function of measurements is obtained from a lower bound of the estimation error. The paper also proposes a scheme of determining of OSL on damaged structures by using maximum strain energy factor. Simulation studies have carried out to investigate the proposed OSL algorithm for both undamaged and damaged structures.
