This paper is aimed to find electrical fire danger for analyzing the characteristics of temperature, current and voltage signals for motor on electric fan. In order to attain this purpose, detected were the temperature, current and voltage signals on electric wire with free (normal state) and locked (abnormal state) motor. For voltage and current signals, voltage signal is no big difference with normal and abnormal states and current signal is higher in abnormal state (highest 309 mA) than the normal state (highest 203 mA). In the case of Temperature signal, the temperature distribution of the motor as a whole is different. It is difference in the case of the normal state $4^{\circ}C$ and the abnormal state $18^{\circ}C$. In particular, most of the electric wiring to the motor of the fan is attached to the fixture of motor back. Considering at allowable temperature ($60^{\circ}C$) of the electric wire could be accelerated to insulation deterioration. The results of this study will be effectively used in analyzing for electric fire and developing the preventive devices of electric fan.

In this study, we developed two legged multi-joint robot by using wireless servo motor that was applied by wireless sensor network technology, which is widely used recently, and performed an experiment of walking method of two legged multi-joint robot. We constructed the star network with servo motors which were used at each joint of two-legged robot. And we designed the robot for operation by transmission of joint control signal from main control system or by transmission of the status of each joint to the main control system, so it operates with continuously checking the status of joints at same time. We developed the humanoid robot by using wireless digital servo motor which is different from existing servo motor control system, and controlled it by transmitting the information of angles and speeds of robot joints to the motor(node) as a feedback through main control system after connecting power and setting up the IDs to each joint. We solved noisy problem generated from wire and wire length to connection point of the control device by construction of the wireless network instead of using existing control method of wiring, and also solved problem of poor real time response to gait motion by controlling the position with continuous transmission of control signals to each joint. And we found that the effective control of robot is able by performing the simulation on walking motion in advance with the developed control algorithm which was downloaded into installed memory. Also we performed the stable walking with two-legged robot by attaching pressure sensor to robot sole. And we examined the robot gait operated by application of calculated algorithm on robot movement to each joint. In this study, we studied the method of controlling robot gait motion by using wireless servo motors and measured the torque applied to each joint, and found that the developed wireless servo motor by ZigBee sensor network offers easier control of two legged robot gait and better circuit configuration of it than the existing wired control system could do.

The high performance intelligent robots have become to use a lot of sensors, actuators and controllers which are connected via bus-type networks while the point to point connection was widely used in-robot networks of existing robots. The bus topology makes the robot system share data internally and it can also reduce the weight of the robot because of smaller wiring harness. The CAN is one of serial bus communication protocols typically used for in-vehicle networks and now it can also be used for in-robot networks because of its low cost and reliability. A performance evaluation system for this type of networked system is developed to analyze the real-time operation and the reliability of a serial-bus network, and the usefulness of the developed evaluation system is shown by some experiments for a network of many CAN nodes.

Recently, miniaturization of large scale integrated circuits (LSI) and printed circuit board (PCB) have become essential with the downsizing of electronic devices. Gold electroplating is applied of conductivity wiring or terminals for improvement of conductivity and corrosion resistance. However, electroplating is not applicable since the circuits are becoming finer and denser. Accordingly, electroless plating is recently highly attractive method because of the simplicity of the operation requiring no external source of current and no elaborate equipment. In this work, we tried to develop a plating technique on electroless Ni/Au plating. First, the electroless Ni plating was deposited on the PCB with agitation in the bath at $85^{\circ}C$. Then the Au layer was deposited on the Ni layer surface by same method at $90^{\circ}C$. The bonderability were tested in order to evaluate the stability of the electroless Ni/Au by gold wire or solder ball test.

The geomagnetic sensor nodes are usually designed with wireless communication and battery for easy installation on the road without cable connection and wiring. To minimize operation cost of a system, it is important to prolong the battery lifetime of the geomagnetic sensors installed on the road. In this paper, we propose a low-power TDMA MAC protocol that reduces energy consumption while guaranteeing the real-time vehicle detection information in the vehicle detection system. The performance evaluations are conducted through a real testbed of a vehicle detection system, and it proves that the proposed low-power protocols provides 5 year lifetime by improving energy efficiency up to about 62%.

Background: The purpose of this study is to compare the radiological and clinical outcomes after open reduction and plate fixation of midshaft clavicle fractures between patients who achieved successful anatomical reduction and those who had a remaining fracture gap even after open reduction and plate fixation, and were thus treated with additional demineralized bone matrix (DBM). Methods: This retrospective analysis was conducted on 56 consecutive patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation using a locking compression plate for acute displaced midshaft clavicle fractures, and who underwent radiographic and clinical outcome evaluations at least 6 months postoperatively. The outcomes between those who achieved perfect anatomical reduction without remnant gap (n=32) and those who had a remaining fracture gap even after open reduction and plate fixation treated with additional DBM (n=24) were evaluated. Results: There were no differences in the use of lag screws or wiring and operation time (all p>0.05) between those with and without remnant gap. No difference in the average radiological union time and clinical outcomes (satisfaction and Constant score) was observed between the two groups (all p>0.05). However, significantly faster union time was observed for AO type A fracture compared with other types (p=0.012), and traffic accident showed association with worse clinical outcomes compared with other causes of injury. Conclusions: Surgical outcome of midshaft clavicle fracture was more affected by initial fracture type and event, and re-reduction and re-fixation of the fracture to obtain a perfect anatomical reduction spending time appears to be unnecessary if rigid fixation is achieved.

The major causes of electrical fire are classified to short circuit fault, overload fault, electric leakage and electric contact failure. The occurrence factor of the fire is electric arc or spark accompanied with electrical faults. Residual Current Protective Device (RCD), that is Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker(ELB) and Molded_case Circuit Breaker (MCB), of high sensitivity type used at low voltage wiring cuts off earth leakage and overload, but the RCD can't cut off electric arc or spark to be a major factor of electrical fire. As the RCDs which are applied low voltage distribution panel are prescribed to rated breaking time about 30[ms] (KS C 4613), the RCDs can't perceive to the periodic electric arc or spark of more short wavelength level. To be improved on such problem, this research development is proposed to a auxiliary control apparatus for RCD trip on electric arc or spark due to electrical fire. Some experimental results of the proposed apparatus is confirmed to the validity of the analytical results.

It is not good joint that today's traffic control system that the course of traffic volume increase tendency is followed, in the traffic volume is approched into the time of my car. Accordingly when we analyzed the existing traffic signal control system, the traffic signal system is developed from the machine type that the motor was centered, to get up to date, to the intelligence electron signal control system. But yet, when we have a test and a A/S on the control circuit, the circuit that is designed to the center IC and ROM are complicated. Also, the time of pass lamp that the car line stream is going, can not extended automatically a time till the traffic volume is decreased to the same direction. This theme must be a real time intelligence control system that the time of pass lamp can extend aumatically. The circuit of sequence ladder diagram on the traffic signal control of a crossroads that is desinged, can be satisfied the complicated vehicle order. Therefore when the circuit is changed, the new developed system is economical with that dosen't needs any of components to require the circuit equipment, and the time is saved with needlessness of the circuit wiring again, and have a much trustworthy. The control method of pass signal lamp in the car line stream connecting among PLC and Relay and Temp Sensor, can be changed to hand operation and to semi-automation and to all-automation. New intelligence traffic signal system is composed with all-together system of T Sensor + Video Camera + IBM PC that is able to guiding the establishment of traffic order.

This study aimed to prevent inconvenience to electric vehicle users caused by an interruption of charging by the earth leakage breaker trip that occurs during charging. As a field case study, it was confirmed that during the battery charger failure type, leakage current measurement experiment by vehicle type, and leakage current breaker operation experiment, the internal temperature of the charger rose to more than 60 ℃ in summer, and the earth leakage circuit breaker stopped charging by tripping at 80% of the rated sensitivity current. Through Joule heating modeling, 32A is energized at the reference temperature of 30 ℃ at the initial time t=0 (s). After t=3000 (s), the heat generated around the charging part of the earth leakage breaker increased to 32.4 ℃. The temperature and time factors correlated with the amount of heat generated according to the statistical verification tool with a correlation coefficient of 0.97. Overall, it is possible to prevent the leakage breaker sensitivity current trip due to an increase in temperature inside the charger in summer by performing a Joule heating simulation according to the material of the charging case, the arrangement of the internal wiring, and the dielectric medium when developing the charger device.
