This study is about the development of a smart bed control system to be able to detect the human position and body signal on bed. The main control board in the bed control system consists of the human sensing part, motor driving part and MCU. Here, to increase the credibility to check the human presence on bed, the human sensing part is combined with the human position part by membrane sensor and the body-signal detecting part of EMFI sensor. Also, remotely connecting the two detected signal to the application program of the app mode makes it possible to monitor human information on bed. In this paper, the remote function monitoring of the on-bed human information by bluetooth communication will be abe to make it applicable to the technical prevention method of the bed fall and absence accident in hospital and care facilities.

Accidents of worker that occur in isolated places are difficult to rescue, unlike general construction accidents. There is a problem of communication limitation when an accident occurs in an isolated place. Also, it is difficult to search the accident place due to the absence of CCTV. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes a device that combines IoT technology with a safety helmet, which must be worn in the workplace. The proposed device additionally designs and implements a real-time PPG(Photoplethysmography) sensor, body temperature sensor, accelerometer sensor and a camera sensor on the helmet. The proposed helmet system allows the user and the control center to monitor the state of the worker. In addition, when an abnormal biological signal or fall occurs to the worker, the image is transmitted to the control center. By using the proposed system, it is possible to check the status of the worker in real time, so that it has an advantage that it can cope with the accident quickly.

This paper deals with the contents of designing and producing reconnaissance hardware and software, and verifying the functions after being installed on the CanSat platform and ground stations. The main reconnaissance mission is largely composed of two things: terrain search that renders the surrounding terrain in 3D using radar, GPS, and IMU sensors, and real-time detection of major objects through optical camera image analysis. In addition, data analysis efficiency was improved through GUI software to enhance the completeness of the CanSat system. Specifically, software that can check terrain information and object detection information in real time at the ground station was produced, and mission failure was prevented through abnormal packet exception processing and system initialization functions. Communication through LTE and AWS server was used as the main channel, and ZigBee was used as the auxiliary channel. The completed CanSat was tested for air fall using a rocket launch method and a drone mount method. In experimental results, the terrain search and object detection performance was excellent, and all the results were processed in real-time and then successfully displayed on the ground station software.

Several planktonic dinoflagellates, including Cochlodinium polykrikoides (p), are known to produce red tides responsible for massive fish kills and serious economic loss in turbid Northwest Pacific (Korean and neighboring) coastal waters during summer and fall seasons. In order to mitigate the impacts of these red tides, it is therefore very essential to detect, monitor and forecast their development and movement using currently available remote sensing technology because traditional ship-based field sampling and analysis are very limited in both space and temporal frequency. Satellite ocean color sensors, such as Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS), are ideal instruments for detecting and monitoring these blooms because they provide relatively high frequency synoptic information over large areas. Thus, the present study attempts to evaluate the red tide index methods (previously developed by Ahn and Shanmugam et al., 2006) to identify potential areas of red tides from SeaWiFS imagery in Korean and neighboring waters. Findings revealed that the standard spectral ratio algorithms (OC4 and LCA) applied to SeaWiFS imagery yielded large errors in Chl retrievals for coastal areas, besides providing false information about the encountered red tides in the focused waters. On the contrary, the RI coupled with the standard spectral ratios yielded comprehensive information about various ranges of algal blooms, while RCA Chl showing a good agreement with in-situ data led to enhanced understanding of the spatial and temporal variability of the recent red tide occurrences in high scattering and absorbing waters off the Korean and Chinese coasts. The results suggest that the red tide index methods for the early detection of red tides blooms can provide state managers with accurate identification of the extent and location of blooms as a management tool.

An all-transparent ultraviolet (UV) photodetector was fabricated by structuring $p-NiO/n-SnO_2/ITO$ on a glass substrate. $SnO_2$ is an important semiconductor material because of its large bandgap, high electron mobility, high transmittance (as high as 80% in the visible range), and high stability under UV light. For these reasons, $SnO_2$ is suitable for a range of applications that involve UV light. In order to form a highly transparent p-n junction for UV detection, $SnO_2$ was deposited onto a device containing NiO as a high-transparent metal conductive oxide for UV detection. We demonstrated that all-transparent UV photodetectors based on $SnO_2$ could provide a definitive photocurrent density of $4nA\;cm^{-2}$ at 0 V under UV light (365 nm) and a low saturation current density of $2.02nA{\times}cm^{-2}$. The device under UV light displayed fast photoresponse with times of 31.69 ms (rise-time) and 35.12 ms (fall-time) and a remarkable photoresponse ratio of 69.37. We analyzed the optical and electrical properties of the $NiO/SnO_2$ device. We demonstrated that the excellent properties of $SnO_2$ are valuable in transparent photoelectric device applications, which can suggest various routes for improving the performance of such devices.

We established a new method to analyze moxidectin using high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) with fluorescence derivatization in order to obtain its residual profiles in biological samples. Recovery of moxidectin in tissue was 62% at 10 ppb. Average detection reproducibility in terms of coefficience variation was 4.47% at 0.32 to 10 ppb. Residual of moxidectin was studied in 44 Yorkshire-Landrace mixed bred male pigs administered subcutaneously 0, 200, or $800{\mu}g/kg$ body weight (BW) Residual profiles of moxdectin in blood, muscle, liver, kidney and fat of pigs were described. The concentration of the moxidectin in liver after administration of moxidectin was the highest among the tissues examined. Moxidectin in liver after administration of moxidectin as $200{\mu}g/kg$ BW was declined from $10.0{\pm}3.7ng/g$ at 10 day post administration to $0.5{\pm}0.3ng/g$ level at 40 day post administration. Residual levels of moxidectin in all samples were estimated to fall below the limit of quantitation (0.32 ng/ml) after 50 day after treatment of $200{\mu}g/kg$. Moxidectin showed no abnormal observations in all the clinical findings at any concentrations under these experimental conditions. In conclusion, this analysis method by HPLC after fluorescence derivatization was very effective for the detection of moxidectin in biological samples. We suggest that 50-day is safe enough for the withdrawal time of moxidectin in pigs, following the recommendation dose by the manufacturer.

This study is to present a fainting motion recognizing method by using fish-eye lens images to sense emergency situations. The camera with fish-eye lens located at the center of the ceiling of the living room sends images, and then the foreground pixels are extracted by means of the adaptive background modeling method based on the Gaussian complex model, which is followed by tracing of outer points in the foreground pixel area and the elliptical mapping. During the elliptical tracing, the fish-eye lens images are converted to fluoroscope images. the size and location changes, and moving speed information are extracted to judge whether the movement, pause, and motion are similar to fainting motion. The results show that compared to using fish-eye lens image, extraction of the size and location changes. and moving speed by means of the conversed fluoroscope images has good recognition rates.

In this paper, a polarity based blind watermarking method considering wavelet coefficients modification is proposed. In this proposed method, we use an asymmetric thresholds watermarking(ATW) in which detection threshold is higher than inserting threshold in order to enhance watermark detection ratio in attacked images. Also, in order to reduce errors in the detected value of watermarks according to small changes in the coefficient values when detecting watermarks, it set the range for movement variation of the coefficients and lowered the sensitivity of variation by ignoring the variations that fall into this range. For this purpose, the polarity preservation threshold $\beta$ was set and a watermark was detected based on the polarity only for the difference that was larger than $\beta$. The experimental results show that the proposed method has good quality and is robust to various attacks such as the JPEG lossy compression, noise addition, cropping, blurring, etc.

Smart application is developed in this paper by using an android-based platform to automatically determine the human emergency state (Lifesaver) by using different technology sensors of the mobile. In practice, this Lifesaver has many applications, and it can be easily combined with other applications as well to determine the emergency of humans. For example, if an old human falls due to some medical reasons, then this application is automatically determining the human state and then calls a person from this emergency contact list. Moreover, if the car accidentally crashes due to an accident, then the Lifesaver application is also helping to call a person who is on the emergency contact list to save human life. Therefore, the main objective of this project is to develop an application that can save human life. As a result, the proposed Lifesaver application is utilized to assist the person to get immediate attention in case of absence of help in four different situations. To develop the Lifesaver system, the GPS is also integrated to get the exact location of a human in case of emergency. Moreover, the emergency list of friends and authorities is also maintained to develop this application. To test and evaluate the Lifesaver system, the 50 different human data are collected with different age groups in the range of (40-70) and the performance of the Lifesaver application is also evaluated and compared with other state-of-the-art applications. On average, the Lifesaver system is achieved 95.5% detection accuracy and the value of 91.5 based on emergency index metric, which is outperformed compared to other applications in this domain.
