Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate sleep patterns in nursing students as measured by an automated wireless sleep tracker and self-reported sleep scales. Methods: Data were collected from October, 2011 to May, 2012. ZQ (a symbolic number that measures the quality and quantity of sleep) was calculated from the automated wireless sleep tracker. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index-Korean version, Sleep scale A, and sleep satisfaction were used as self-report sleep scales. Female nursing college students (n=37) were recruited by convenience sampling. Before going to bed, they were asked to put on a head-band type sleeping sensor and to move it the next morning. Every student slept 2~4 nights with the sleep tracker. Data were collected for 86 (91.4%) of 94 nights' sleep. The students were also requested to fill in the PSQI-K, sleep scale A, and sleep satisfaction. Results: The only statistically significant correlation was between ZQ and sleep satisfaction (r=.869, p=.026). The biggest obstacle in using this device was putting on the head-band type sensor. Conclusion: Validity of the wireless sleep tracker was verified in part. The usefulness of this device in nursing research and practice was identified. Further evaluation need to be conducted with various populations.

Purpose Wearable devices are widely used in our daily life. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between persuasive designs of fitness trackers and users' physical activity behavior. Methods To test the research model, data was collected from a web-based survey in China, resulting in an effective sample of 166 usable questionnaires. The survey was restricted only to respondents who wear a fitness tracker. Results The sample surveyed in this study indicated that half of the respondents had been wearing a smart fitness tracker shorter than one year, and only 27% were long-time users (longer than two years). Dialogue support and social support strategies were both proved to be effective in increasing users' workout behavior intention. Social support strategies had a greater effect on behavior change than dialogue support strategies. Conclusion The findings from this study make several contributions to the practice. Wearable devices developers can employ the result from this study to help them design devices, which can persuade people to do more exercises and preserve a healthier life.

Solar energy is most green and clean, unlimited and sustainable energy source on the earth. It is almost 97% of imported consumer energy in Korea. Because of resource poor nation, it is necessary to do their best to make alternative energy to allot their deficiency of the matter in hand of energy resources of petroleum. In a point of view of this problems, the natural solar energy should be improved by any methods as much, possible as we need. Photovoltaic generation with solar tracking system for obtaining optimal power is one of most benefit equipment to improve power of solar-cell panel producing clean electric power efficiently. Solar tracker is a device for orienting a solar photovoltaic panel toward the sun perpendicularly to sunlight, especially in widely separated place. For this reason, we are very interested in developing the equipment system of tracker, specially in solar cell applications, obtaining a high degree of accuracy to ensure that the optimal sunlight could be directed precisely against to the powered device. As a result, it was obtained of 12.46 volts at 90$^\circ$toward solar panel and 9.44 volts at 45$^\circ$, furthermore, improved efficiency more than 30% of average output voltage between tracker system (12.41V) and fixed system (8.55V), respectively. It is also very useful for optimum power system of widely separated cave.

We propose a simle scheme for detecting tone signals narrowly spaced in the frequency by employing a nonlinear device called Teager's energy tracker. When the input signal is a tone signal, the output of Teager's energy tracker is proportional to the energy and tone frequency of the input signal. When the envelope of the input tone is varying, this tracker can also track the energy of the envelope. By employing Teager's algorithm as a preprocessor, the detector for narrowly spaced tone signals can be implemented without the use of sharp notch filters. As an example, the proposed detector is applied to distinguishing ITU-T V.8 and V.25 tone signals. The detector perfodrmance is analyszed and is verified by computer simulation.

Finding sufficient supplies of clean energy for future is one of the society's most important challenges according to technologies. Alternative renewable energy source such as solar energy can be substituted for exceeding human energy need. The main factor affect to solar performance is a collective intensity. To enhance intensity, suitable equipment is a solar tracker. The solar tracker consists of sun point detector module, mechanical mechanism module with actuator and control system module. This paper presents sun point detector for solar tracker of daylight system. To evaluate the detecting accuracy, an experimental device is implemented. In experimental results, the accuracy of development system has under 0.11%/0.5deg.

Gait analysis trackers have been developed to monitor daily gait patterns to improve users' running performance and reduce the risk of injuries. A variety of gait analysis trackers are available on the market(e.g., foot pods, insoles). Depending on the type of gait analysis tracker, users' discomfort or satisfaction as well as required properties may differ. Hence, the purpose of this study was to compare and analyze user experience of three different types of commercial shoe-mounted gait analysis trackers and their mobile applications in a laboratory environment using questionnaires based on actual experiences of each product. Ten males and ten females who regularly enjoy walking and running exercises participated in the experiment. After the participants set up the tracker and application themselves without support from researchers, ten to thirty minutes' exercise was permitted on each product. Following this, the participants answered questionnaires containing evaluation variables on the device and mobile application, as well as satisfaction, intention to use, recommendation, and purchase. In addition, they were asked questions about the attractive features and shortcomings of each device and application. The results showed that the PRO-SPECS^® smart insole was preferred over the others for ease of use, perceived durability, psychological burden of the design, and usefulness of the information provided by the application. Along with the results of questionnaire, this study also discussed strategies and recommendations for future product design and development.

과학기구는 임무 종료시 전체 플랫폼의 안정적인 회수가 가능한 비행 시스템이다. 과학기구의 회수는 인명 및 재산피해를 고려하여 인구밀집도가 낮은 평야지대에서 주로 진행된다. 하지만 대한민국의 경우 밀집한 산악지형과 반도의 제한으로 인해 해상회수가 고려되어야 한다. 이러한 운용환경에서 기낭은 해상 착수 후 발생할 수 있는 심각한 해양오염 때문에 반드시 회수되어야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기낭의 위치추적기 및 방수체계가 결합된 분리장치를 개발하였다. 장치는 데이터 송수신, 분리, 방수 체계로 구성되었고 대한민국의 환경을 고려하여 제작하였다. 장치의 성능과 기낭의 낙하 궤적은 목표고도 20km 플랫폼의 분리 실험과 영압력 기구의 해상회수를 진행하여 검증하였다.

사람의 인지 능력은 시각에 많은 것을 의존하고 있다. '시각'은 눈을 통해 빛의 자극을 받아들이는 감각을 통칭하며, '시선'은 눈동자의 중심점과 외계의 시점을 연결하는 직선 작용으로 일반적으로 주목하는 물체와 눈을 잇는 직선을 의미한다. 시선에 대한 연구는 '심리학', '인지 언어학'등 여러 학계에서 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 시선을 객관적으로 분석하기 위한 방법으로 '아이트래킹'에 대한 연구가 활성화 되어 있다. 아이트래킹에 관한 연구진행을 위한 장비가 '아이트래커'이며, 연구 분야가 웹페이지 개발 분석 등의 범위에서 매장분석, 교통신호처리 방법, 운송기기, 영상콘텐츠의 사용자 경험분석과 마케팅 분석 기법 등으로 확대됨에 따라 고정형 아이트랙커 보다는 고글형의 모바일 아이트랙커(Glasses Eye-Tracking Device)의 수요가 확대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 아이트래킹의 개요와 특성을 파악하고 아이트래킹 연구의 확산을 위한 방안을 제시한다.
