In this work, an individual trespassing detector using a PIR sensor to detect infrared rays only between the range of $9.4{\sim}10.4{\mu}m$ radiated from the body is proposed. This detector using FIR sensor detects not insect or object but human body, It doesn't restrict the inhabitant's behavior because the filter of pm sensor is designed to have face angle and the detector only detects the window area. The existing wide angle filter, RIR sensor, detects $30^{\circ}$ angle while the face angle filter sensor on this paper detects $11^{\circ}$ angle with 3cm of face angle filter from 2m of detecting distance. In case of interruption of electric power, 250mAh of lithium-ion battery has worked for 10 hours consuming 22mA in normal state. Meanwhile, in case of interruption of electric power, 250mAh of battery has worked for 4 hours consuming 60mA in trespassing detecting state. Projector, receptor, controller and alarm are put on one PCB in order to make it convenient to install without any special installation skill.

The distance between the source and the detector, the diameter of the detector, and the volume effect of the radiation source result in a change in solid angle at the detector entrance, which affects the determination of detection efficiency by causing a difference in path length within the detector. A typical analysis method for calculating solid angles was useful only for a source (⁶⁰Co) with a simple geometric structure, so in this experiment, the distance between the detector and the source was measured by switching on for up to 25 cm with the reference point of window cap 0.5 cm. In addition, 450 and 1000 ㎖ Marinelli beaker of standard volumetric sources were closely adhered to the detector. For circular point sources co-axial with the detector, the change in the solid angle to the distance from the detector window is equal to half the square radius of the source versus the square radius of the detector, if the resulting relationship of the calculation analysis results in the detector being less than the radius of the source. Since the solid angular difference is 0.5 the result of Monte Carlo is acceptable. The relationship between detector and source distance is shown. Solid angles have been verified to decrease rapidly with distance. Measurement and simulation results for a volumetric source show a difference of ±1.01% from a distance of 0 cm and less than 4 % when the distance is reduced to 5 and 10 cm. It can be seen that the longer distance, the smaller efficiency angle, and the exponential increase in attenuation as the energy decreases, is reflected in the calculation of efficiency. Thus, the detection efficiency has proved sufficient for the use of solid angle and Monte Carlo codes.

The proportion and testing of portable radiation tests, which are limited at the request of the doctor, are gradually increasing only for patients in emergency situations and difficulties in moving. However, as there are many limiting factors compared to fixed devices, this study intends to measure and analyze the distortion of images according to the angle of the detector and the change in dose according to the position of the subject. For distortion experiments using a mobile radiation generator used in Hospital A, the SID was tilted by 110 cm, 14"×17" wireless FPD detector to 0°, -5°, -10°, -15°, -20°, and -35° to measure the change in area. The dose according to the location of the detector was analyzed on average by measuring the central dose at 110 cm of the SID and measuring the dose of 9 locations three times each. The analysis result of distortion by location according to the angle of the detector showed a statistically significant difference (f=58.74, p<0.000). Therefore, it can be seen that the angle of the detector and the tube is closely related to the distortion of the image. The difference in dose by location of the detector increased with respect to the center - pole, and decreased with the + pole. Tests using mobile radiation generators will require careful efforts by clinicians to position patients in the center of the detector for accurate diagnosis, and efforts will be made to level the angle between the mobile radiation generators and the detector.

In the B-ISDN using satellite between geo-satellites and earth stations, the laser having high security and broad band width has to be used as a carrier for transmitting massive information of visual, vocal, and high rate data. In this paper, by computer simulation we analyzed the number of optical detector array of optical satellite communication downlink in case of using channel coding and no channel coding for BISDN between geo-satelites and earth stations under clear weather condition. It was supposed that 1 watt semiconductor laser was used and as modulation method, the binary FSK was used. The data rate of 10Gbps was used for B-ISDN. Also, hardly affected by atmospheric absorption 1.55$\mu$m wave-length was used to reduce influence of dispersion and chirp generated at a high speed transmission. We analyzed the received power, SNR and BER. The number of optical detector array was determined to satisfy for the BER less than 10$^{-7}$. Also, we ananlyzed the possibility of reducting the number of optical detector array in case of using channel coding. the number of optical detector array is one in the region where the elevation nangle is between 38$^{\circ}$ and 90$^{\circ}$ and two where the elevation angle is between 33$^{\circ}$ and 37$^{\circ}$ and three where the elevation angle is between 30$^{\circ}$ and 32$^{\circ}$ and increases per one as the elevation angle decreases per 1.deg.. So in the region where the elevation angle is 25$^{\circ}$, the number of optical detector arrays is eight. In case of using channel coding, the number of optical detector arrays decreases to five in the region where the elevation angle is 25$^{\circ}$. Therefore, we remaark the advantage of the channelcoding to decrease the size of received antenna and the number ob optical detector arrays.

The geometrical efficiency of a source-to-detector configuration is considered to be necessary in the calculation of the full energy peak efficiency, especially for NaI(Tl) and HPGe gamma-ray spectroscopy detectors. The geometrical efficiency depends on the solid angle subtended by the radioactive sources and the detector surfaces. The present work is basically concerned to establish a new mathematical approach for calculating the solid angle and geometrical efficiency, based on conversion of the geometrical solid angle of a non-axial radioactive point source with respect to a circular surface of the detector to a new equivalent geometry. The equivalent geometry consists of an axial radioactive point source with respect to an arbitrary elliptical surface that lies between the radioactive point source and the circular surface of the detector. This expression was extended to include coaxial radioactive circular disk source. The results were compared with a number of published data to explain how significant this work is in the efficiency calibration procedure for the γ-ray detection systems, especially in case of using isotropic radiating γ-ray sources in the form of point and disk shapes.

In this paper, an angle diversity wireless optical detector is realized that can receive the optical signal at an angle from 0 to 360 degrees. Eight photodiodes constitute an angle diversity receiver, and in order to reduce the voltage variation with the incident angle, the optical detector is stabilized with a digital potentiometer. In a stabilized state, the voltage variation is kept within 1/10 of maximum voltage. This configuration is very useful in constructing an omni-directional receiver in a wireless optical interconnection.

The CdTe semiconductor detector has a higher detection efficiency for x-rays and $\square$amma rays and a wider energy band gap compared with Si and Ge semiconductor detectors. Therefore, the size of the detector element can be made small, and can be operated at room temperature. The interaction between a CdTe detector and incident x-rays is mainly photoelectric absorption in the photon energy range of up to 100 keV. In this energy range, Compton effects are almost negligible. We have developed a 256 channel CdTe array detector system for monochromatic x-ray CT using synchrotron radiation. The CdTe array detector system, the element size of which is 1.98 mm (h) x 1.98 mm (w) x 0.5 mm (t), was operated in photon counting mode. In order to improve the spatial resolution, we tilted the CdTe array detector against the incident parallel monochromatic x-ray beam. The experiments were performed at the BL20B2 experimental hutch in SPring-8. The energy of incident monochromatic x-rays was set at 55 keV. Phantom measurements were performed at the detector angle of 0, 30 and 45 degrees against the incident parallel monochromatic x-rays. The linear attenuation coefficients were calculated from the reconstructed CT images. By increasing the detector angle, the spatial resolutions were improved. There was no significant difference between the linear attenuation coefficients which were corrected by the detector angle. It was found that this method was useful for improving the spatial resolution in a parallel monochromatic x-ray CT system.

Spherical NaI(Tl) detectors are used in gamma-ray spectrometry, where the gamma emissions come from the nuclei with energies in the range from a few keV up to 10 MeV. A spherical detector is aimed to give a good response to photons, which depends on their direction of travel concerning the detector center. Some distortions in the response of a gamma-ray detector with a different geometry can occur because of the non-uniform position of the source from the detector surface. The present work describes the calibration of a NaI(Tl) spherical detector using both an experimental technique and a numerical simulation method (NSM). The NSM is based on an efficiency transfer method (ETM, calculating the effective solid angle, the total efficiency, and the full-energy peak efficiency). Besides, there is a high probability for a source-to-detector distance less than 15 cm to have pulse coincidence summing (CS), which may occur when two successive photons of different energies from the same source are detected within a very short response time. Therefore, γ-γ ray CS factors are calculated numerically for a ¹⁵²Eu radioactive cylindrical source. The CS factors obtained are applied to correct the measured efficiency values for the radioactive volumetric source at different energies. The results show a good agreement between the NSM and the experimental values (after correction with the CS factors).

The computation of the solid angle and the detector efficiency is considering to be one of the most important factors during the measuring process for the radioactivity, especially the cylindrical γ-ray NaI(Tl) detectors nowadays have applications in several fields such as industry, hazardous for health, the gamma-ray radiation detectors grow to be the main essential instruments in radiation protection sector. In the present work, a generic numerical simulation method (NSM) for calculating the efficiency of the γ-ray spectrometry setup is established. The formulas are suitable for any type of source-to-detector shape and can be valuable to determine the full-energy peak and the total efficiencies and P/T ratio of cylindrical γ-ray NaI(Tl) detector setup concerning the truncated conical radioactive source. This methodology is based on estimate the path length of γ-ray radiation inside the detector active medium, inside the source itself, and the self-attenuation correction factors, which typically use to correct the sample attenuation of the original geometry source. The calculations can be completed in general by using extra reasonable and complicate analytical and numerical techniques than the standard models; especially the effective solid angle, and the detector efficiency have to be calculated in case of the truncated conical radioactive source studied condition. Moreover, the (NSM) can be used for the straight calculations of the γ-ray detector efficiency after the computation of improvement that need in the case of γ-γ coincidence summing (CS). The (NSM) confirmation of the development created by the efficiency transfer method has been achieved by comparing the results of the measuring truncated conical radioactive source with certified nuclide activities with the γ-ray NaI(Tl) detector, and a good agreement was obtained after corrections of (CS). The methodology can be unlimited to find the theoretical efficiencies and modifications equivalent to any geometry by essential sufficiently the physical selective considered situation.

Crane operation is manually accomplished by skilled operators. Recently, the concept of automation is widely introduced in shipping and unloading operation using the overhead crane for the enhanced productivity. In this regards, we designed an angle detector and 3D position detectro which are key evices for this operation. As well as an intellignet control algorithm is developed for the implementation of swing free crane. The performance of the presented algorithm is tested for the swing angle and the position of the overheas crand. The control scheme adopts a feedback control of an angular velocity of swing in initial phase and then the fuzzy controller whose rule base is optimized by a genetic algorithm.
