The purpose of urodynamic investigation is to obtain the information on the function of the urinary system. The aim of this study is to acquire the useful information of lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS) diagnosis through void force signal as noninvasive method. The system which could evaluate the function of compensatory hypertrophy with noninvasive and comfortable method was implemented to measure uroflow and void force during urination. The implemented system composes of the sensor parts, signal conditioning parts and PC monitoring program. For the evaluation of the implemented system, the simulation of control part of the system was performed and the model system for the lower urinary system was designed. The superiority of a measuring characteristic of the implemented system was verified using the model system. From the evaluation of the model system, we have found out that the void force was dependent on the occlusion degree and compensatory hypertrophy significantly.

The computerized cardiac analysis system, which acquires and analyzes the electrical activation signal propagating along the surface of the heart, is indispensible equipment for the open heart surgery and electrical cardiac study. In this paper, the design requirement and the electrical circuit analysis are performed to construct the multi-channel cardiac activation pre-amplifier necessary for a signal conditioning circuit. The general 64 channel configuration is expanded into 128 channels to enhance the spatial resolution on the mapped surface of the heart. The 128 channels pre-amplifier consists of input circuit, differential amplifier, right leg driven circuit and isolation part. It has distinct features; high voltage protection, leakage current limitation, isolation and the maximization of common mode rejection ratio with respect to the half-cell potential difference due to different electrode materials. The final pre-amplifier circuit is assembled with 8 boards, each of which composing of 16 channels.

In this paper, we implemented a speaker-independent speech recognizer using the TMS320F28335 DSP which is optimized for control applications. For this implementation, we used a small-sized commercial DSP module and developed a peripheral board including a codec, signal conditioning circuits and I/O interfaces. The speech signal digitized by the TLV320AIC23 codec is analyzed based on MFCC feature extraction methed and recognized using the continuous-density HMM. Thanks to the internal SRAM and flash memory on the TMS320F28335 DSP, we did not need any external memory devices. The internal flash memory contains ADPCM data for voice response as well as HMM data. Since the TMS320F28335 DSP is optimized for control applications, the recognizer may play a good role in the voice-activated control areas in aspect that it can integrate speech recognition capability and inherent control functions into the single DSP.

In precision instrumentation system, an A/D conversion of signal conditioning has some problems.; offset and drift errors with environmental situation. This paper suggested a development of the Multi-Channel A/D Data Acquisition System and a method of the evaluation and the temperature compensation for the A/D converters with the specific analog and digital circuit including the software. Also, we have designed a hardware and a software filters with smart algorithm for better signal processing of the proposed system. Software approach was adopted to obtain the stable data from A/D converter. As shown in our experimental works, the proposed system is expected to be used in the industrial field where a high precision measurement is required.

We have fabricated a sensor system for on-line monitoring the oxygen permeability and diffusivity of six different polymer films using the miniaturized 6 cathode(Ag)-single anode(Ag/AgCl) type hexagonal oxygen electrode. This system consists of multiple input front-end electronics, signal conditioning circuit using the embedded microcontroller 80C196KC, PC interface circuit and PC with the OS for microcontroller and the operating program for this system. The digital low-[ass filter was programmed and the simulated filter characteristics were enough to eliminate the noise from sensor signal. According to the experimental results, the linearity coefficients of the output voltage to oxygen partial pressure for each sensor electrode of six cathode type oxygen sensor are 0.998, 0.997, 0.998, 0.997, 0.997, 0.997 respectively, and the response times are all within 4 minutes.

This work describes a design and implementation of the level & flow rate control system by using a single-chip microcontroller. The proposed model system is designed based on the use of the single-chip microcontroller 8031 with the EPROM emulator for programming the computer software. The microcontroller reaches the input level and flow signals from the level sensor and the turbine flowmeter, respectively, via the signal conditioning circuits and A/D converters in order to calculate the control signal. Moreover, the status of the process variable can easily be set up and controlled by program monitoring through the emulator, and can be graphically displayed on the computer screen. Experiment results were carried out which can be ...

고전의 관현악기에서부터 현대의 각종 전자악기까지, 인류는 그 문화와 시대의 변화에 따라 다양한 형태의 악기를 개발하고 활용하였다. 최근에는 전기전자 기술의 발달로 다양한 센서와 프로그램을 활용해서 여러 가지 음색과 효과를 내는 악기가 개발되고 있다. 그 중에서 사람의 움직임을 직접 감지해서 음악적 도구로 활용하는 기술이 주목 받고 있다. 이를 위해 터치 센서(touch sensor), 비젼 센서(vision sensor), 자기장 센서(magnetic sensor), 초음파 센서(ultrasonic sensor) 등이 응용되고 있다. 그러나 지금까지의 센서 기술로는 사람의 움직임과 관련된 위치, 속도, 가속도 등에 대한 정보를 직접 추출하기가 어렵고, 구현된 시스템도 공간의 제약을 받거나 혹은 구현된 부피가 크거나 복잡한 구성형태를 지니고 있는 문제점이 있었다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 사람의 움직임과 관련된 가속도 정보를 직접 감지해서 새로운 형태의 악기로 활용될 수 있는 시스템을 연구하고 개발하였다. 이를 위해 6개의 가속도 정보를 처리하는 기술과 DSP(Digital Signal Processor) 활용 기술, Max/MSP 활용 기술이 응용 되었으며, 소형의 시스템을 개발하기 위해 시그널 컨디셔닝(signal conditioning) 회로와 DSP 보드를 자체 개발하였다. 실험을 통해 사람의 움직임과 관련된 각종 정보가 적절한 소프트웨어의 활용으로 다양한 음색의 변화는 물론 음높이, 음량의 변화까지도 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였고, 새로운 형태의 악기로써 무대 공연이나 노래방 등에 폭넓게 활용될 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

A wearable sensing ECG T-shirt for ubiquitous vital signs sensing is proposed. The sensor system consists of a signal processing board and capacitive sensing electrodes which together enable measurement of an electrocardiogram (ECG) on the human chest with minimal discomfort. The capacitive sensing method was employed to prevent direct ECG measurement on the skin and also to provide maximum convenience to the user. Also, low power integrated circuits (ICs) and passive electrodes were employed in this research to reduce the power consumption of the entire system. Small flexible electrodes were placed into cotton pockets and affixed to the interior of a worn tight NIKE Pro combat T-shirt. Appropriate signal conditioning and processing were implemented to remove motion artifacts. The entire system was portable and consumed low power compared to conventional ECG devices. The ECG signal obtained from a 24 yr. old male was comparable to that of an ECG simulator.
