This study proposes the analysis and evaluation method of time series ultrasonic signal using the chaotic feature extraction for ultrasonic pattern recognition. Features extracted from time series data using the chaotic time series signal analysis quantitatively welding defects. For this purpose analysis objective in this study is fractal dimension and Lyapunov exponent. Trajectory changes in the strange attractor indicated that even same type of defects carried substantial difference in chaoticity resulting from distance shills such as 0.5 and 1.0 skip distance. Such differences in chaoticity enables the evaluation of unique features of defects in the weld zone. In experiment fractal(correlation) dimension and Lyapunov exponent extracted from 6dB ultrasonic defect signals of weld zone showed chaoticity. In quantitative chaotic feature extraction, feature values(mean values) of 4.2690 and 0.0907 in the case of porosity and 4.2432 and 0.0888 in the case of incomplete penetration were proposed on the basis of fractal dimension and Lyapunov exponent. Proposed chaotic feature extraction in this study enhances ultrasonic pattern recognition results from defect signals of weld zone such as vertical hole.

본 연구에서는 운전중인 직류전동기의 브러시를 임의로 회전하여 브러시와 정류자편에 불꽃을 발생시켰을 때, 초음파센서와 AE센서를 이용하여 각각의 기계적 노이즈 신호를 검출하였으며, 이를 주파수 스펙트럼으로 분석하였다. 또한 직류전동기의 브러시가 중성축에 정상적으로 위치하여 운전하고 있을 때, 초음파센서와 AE센서를 이용하여 각각의 자기적 노이즈 신호를 검출하였으며, 이를 주파수 스펙트럼으로 분석하였다. 그리고 직류전동기의 브러시를 임의로 회전한 경우의 기계적 노이즈 신호 및 브러시가 중성축에 위치한 경우의 자기적 노이즈 신호를 비교ㆍ분석하였다. 실험 결과, 운전중인 직류전동기의 브러시를 회전방향으로 임의로 회전하여 검출한 초음파의 기계적 노이즈 신호는 브러시가 중성축에 정상적으로 위치하여 검출한 초음파의 자기적 노이즈 신호보다 대략 2.5∼3.0배 증가되었다. 또한 운전중인 직류전동기의 브러시를 회전방향으로 임의로 회전하여 불꽃을 발생시켰을 때, AE의 기계적 노이즈 신호를 검출하여 주파수 스펙트럼으로 분석한 결과 주된 주파수 영역이 대략 1.3[MHz]∼l.5[MHz]인 것으로 나타났다

This study proposes the post-processor simulator construction of ultrasonic signal for integrity evaluation of railway truck. For these purposes, the ultrasonic signals for defects(crack) of weld zone in frames are acquired in the type of time series data and echo strength. The detection of the natural defects in railway truck is performed using the characteristics of echodynamic pattern in ultrasonic signal. The constructed post-processor simulator agree fairly well with the measured results of test block(defect location, beam propagation distance, echo strength, etc). Proposed post-processor simulator construction of ultrasonic in this study can be used for the integrity evaluation of railway truck.

This paper aims for the development of the high power sonar system for measuring the velocity of a moving object. The high power sonar system transmits two gated 190 kHz sinusoidal signals with 1.6 [ms] time interval to the moving object. Then the sonar system detects and calculates the changed time delay of the reflected ultrasonic signals in order to derive the velocity of the moving object. The transmission part uses a high power amplifier so that 250 W gated sinusoidal signals can be transmitted to the transmitter. 1M RAM is utilized for transmitting and storing of the ultrasonic signals. The time delay is calculted by the cross-correlation technique between the transmitted signals and the received signals. The measured value from the high power sonar system is compared with directly measured values by photo diodes. The result confirms the adjacency to 0.3% error.

초음파 검사 방법은 여러 가지 물질들의 흠집이나 틈새, 티끌 등을 감지해내는데 널리 쓰이고 있다. 그 중 초음파 신호를 분석하는 절차는 전체의 신호처리 과정에서 아주 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있다. 이 논문은 최소평균 제곱 (LMS) 알고리즘을 이용하여 핵 전력 발전소에서 쓰이는 증기 발생기 튜브로부터 감지된 초음파 비파괴검사 신호를 분류 해내는 것에 관한 것이다. 이 초음파 신호는 튜브내의 흠집이나 틈새로부터 감지된 신호일수도 있고 또는 튜브 내의 침전물에 의해서 발생된 신호일 수도 있는데 이 두 가지 신호는 매우 유사하기 때문에 반드시 분류를 해내어 침전물에 의한 신호일 경우는 무방하지만 흠집이나 갈라진 틈새에서 나오는 신호일 경우는 더 이상의 오염이나 사고 등을 방지하기 위해 수리 또는 교체 등의 후속 조치로 이어져야 한다. 이러한 절차를 밟기 위하여 증기 발생기 튜브의 내부에서의 초음파 센서로부터 증기 발생기 튜브 사이의 거리를 측정하는데 모델링 기법에 기반한 deconvolution 방법이 제시되었으며 이 방법은 space alternating generalized expectation maximization (SAGE) 알고리즘을 이차원 미분 파라미터인 Hessian의 사용으로 인하여 수렴 속도가 빠른 Newton-Raphson 알고리즘과 함께 병행 사용하여 초음파 신호의 초점 도달 시간과 그 크기를 측정하여 초점 도달 거리에 따라 두 종류의 신호를 분류, 차별화 하는 기법이다. 이 알고리즘을 이용하여 흠집이나 틈새로부터 나온 신호일 경우와 퇴적물에 의해 나온 신호일 경우로 분류되었고 그 결과가 이 논문에 제시되었다.

Indoor real-time positioning for multiple targets is required to realize human-robot symbiosis. This study firstly presents positioning accuracy on an autonomous mobile robot controlled by 3-D coordinates that is obtained by a real-time indoor positioning system with spread spectrum (SS) ultrasonic signals communicated by code-division multiple access. Although many positioning systems have been investigated, the positioning system with the SS ultrasonic signals can measure identified multiple 3-D positions in every 70 ms with noise tolerance and error within 100 mm. This system is also robust to occlusion and environmental changes. However, thus far, the positioning errors in an autonomous mobile robot, controlled by these systems using the SS ultrasonic signals, have not been evaluated as an experimental study. Therefore, a positioning experiment for trajectory control is conducted using an autonomous mobile robot and our positioning system. The effectiveness of this positioning method for robot self-localization is shown, from this experiment, because the average control error between the target position and the robot's position at 29 mm is obtained.

The scouring process is complex and subject to many factors. Recently, experiments for real-time bridge scour monitoring have been active as means for a more reliable scour prediction. Riverbed materials are an important factor in bridge scouring; therefore, an accurate estimation of riverbed material is critical in predicting a scour. As a part of this approach, an ultrasonic sensor, which can not only detect river bottom during floods but can also be installed lose to the underwater structures, was developed. This sensor is able to map the river bottom using an ultrasonic waves with the characteristics of the returning wave, reflected from an object or bottom ground. The reflected wave is unique according to the situations, or materials below. Therefore, it would be possible to identify the consisting materials of a riverbed if we could reveal each characteristic in the received signals. In this study, a preliminary experiment was performed in the laboratory to identify and classify received signals, which is unique to each material. The analysis of this experiment gives the graph, which makes it possible to identify materials of the river bottom through the ultrasonic signals. The proposed graph was verified through a comparison with the actual field data measured in river.

In this paper, we propose an intelligent marketing service system that can provide custom advertisements and events to both businesses and customers by identifying the location and contents using the ultrasonic signals and feature information in voice signals. We also develop the encoding and decoding algorithm of ultrasonic signals for this system and analyze the performance evaluation results. With the development of the hyper-connected society, the on-line marketing has been activated and is growing in size. Existing store marketing applications have disadvantages that customers have to find out events or promotional materials that the headquarters or stores throughusing the corresponding applications whenever they visit them. To solve these problems, there are attempts to create intelligent marketing tools using GPS technology and voice recognition technology. However, this approach has difficulties in technology development due to accuracy of location and speed of comparison and retrieval of voice recognition technology, and marketing services for customer relation are also much simplified.

The preliminary results on the application of optical fiber sensor(OFS) for locations of ultrasonic signals in underwater are presented and analyzed. The OFS utilizing the principle of Sagnac interferometry was designed and the hollowed cylindrical mandrel wound by single mode optical fiber was used as sensing component. The ultrasonic signal source was simulated by the PZT actuator operated with function generator. It has been shown that the OFS could detect the signals less affected by ultrasonic path comparing to conventional acousto-electric sensor and accurate location of ultrasonic signal could be carried out using two OFSs.
