A simple fault correction method for rotor position detection of a brushless DC(BLDC) motor with trapezoidal back EMF(electromotive force) using a Hall effect latch unit is presented. The reason why the Hall effect latch unit does not operate properly during the startup of a BLDC motor is thoroughly explained. To solve this problem, a simple code change method and its hardware implementation issues are proposed and discussed.

A position control system using hydraulic cylinder is modeled as a nonlinear system. In order to control this nonlinear system, in this paper, the fuzzy PID control technique which has time-varying control parameters is adopted. In this study, an exclusive sensor to detect the position of hydraulic cylinder is used, which is embeded in hydraulic cylinder.

By integrating the wired-glove and the position sensor using the magnetic fields, we developed the system which could measure the functional dimension of the hand and arm of the human. Magnetic position sensor traces the position and orientation of the arm while the wired-glove measures 18 phalangeal joint angles(including abduction between fingers, pitch and yaw of the wiist). The system could be used to monitor and quantify the functional dimension of the hand and arm and also could be used to test the product usability where the hand motion is important. Another important application lies in determining the degree of paralysis.

무선 센서 네트워크에 대한 연구에서 노드에 대한 위치를 추정하는 것은 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크에서 인접 노드에 대한 정보와 신호의 세기를 이용해서 노드의 위치를 추정하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법을 이용하면 노드가 알고 있는 정보를 이용해서 쉽게 노드의 위치를 찾을 수 있다. 더욱이 위치를 알고 있는 앵커 노드를 기준으로 위치를 모르는 미지 노드에 대한 상대적인 위치를 찾을 수 있어서 전체적인 노드에 대한 맵을 만들 수 있다. 또한 무선 센서 네트워크에서 노드가 적절하게 배치되었는지도 확인할 수 있다. 제안한 기법에 대한 검증을 통해서 제안한 방법을 사용해서 추정된 노드의 위치가 작은 오차를 가지고 검증을 위해 배치한 노드를 찾아내고 있음을 확인하였다.

The PSD(Position Sensitive Detector) is a sensor for detecting the position of incident light. Because of its various advantages, it is used for position and angle sensing, optical range finders, laser displacement sensing, and etc. In the previous study of the position finding system, the laser tracking robot is developed. Small data rate and unidirectionality is the characteristics of data communication both DSP-based pan/tilt control board and the robot. If we can transmit data to the target using PSD sensor and laser diode module, there is no need for communication devices such as the bluetooth and wireless module. For this reason, this paper presents the new method for data transmission. Transmit data using RS-232 is modulated by a VTF(Voltage To Frequency) converter The laser diode module transmits the modulated data. And then the PSD sensor receive that data. Demodulation process is accomplished by the system which is consisted with trans-impedance amplifier, FTV(Frequency To Voltage) converter, and etc.

본 논문에서는 적외선 센서와 초음파 센서를 동시에 사용하여 이동하는 표적의 위치를 실시간으로 추적하는 위치추적 시스템을 설계하였다. 위치 추적 시스템은 2 개의 적외선 센서를 이용하여 표적이 감시영역에 침입하는 것을 확인하고, 4 개의 초음파 센서를 이용해서 각 센서에서 표적까지의 거리를 탐지하여 이동하는 표적의 위치좌표 (x,y)를 구하였다. 특히 초음파 센서가 가지고 있는 안테나의 빔폭 특성 때문에 4 개 센서 중 2개 센서에만 표적이 탐지될 경우에도 표적의 위치를 정확하게 결정하는 방법을 제시하였다. 또한 개발된 알고리즘을 설계된 시스템에 장착하여 시험한 결과 감시시스템이 실험실 내에서 실시간 정확하게 구동하는 것을 확인하였다.

In a high speed spindle system, it is very important to monitor the operation of the spindle to prevent catastrophic damage to the system. Widely used sensors for monitoring are eddy-current and capacitive types. These sensors provide high accuracy of monitoring, but their steep prices lead to expensive high speed spindle systems. The main goal of our research is to develop technology for producing high speed spindle system utilizing magnetic bearings. As active magnetic bearings require position sensors for feedback control, a noncontact position sensor is being developed as a part of this main goal. Once developed, it will contribute to affordable high speed spindle system. This paper describes the selection process of the sensor types and the design of the driving circuit. We also report the experimental results that characterize the static and dynamic performances of the inductive sensor.

This paper presents an active assisted-living system in wireless sensor and actor network (WSAN) in which the mobile robot roles an actor. In order to provide assisted-living service to the elderly people, position recognition of the sensor node attached on the user and localization of the mobile robot should be performed at the same time. For the purpose, we use received signal strength indication (RSSI) to find the position of the person and ubiquitous sensor nodes including ultrasonic sensor which performs both transmission of sensor information and localization like global positioning system. Active services are moving to the elderly people by detecting activity sensor and visual tracking and voice chatting with remote monitoring system.

This paper proposes a new multi-filtered inertial navigation system to estimate the attitude and position of moving objects. This system has two states, the one is attitude state and the other is position/velocity state. For compensating IMU sensor errors, each of the two states uses a different filter: the attitude state uses the EKF and the position state uses the UPF. The fast and precise characteristics of the EKF have been properly utilized for the attitude estimation, while superior dynamic characteristics of the UPF have been fully adopted for the position estimation. The combination of these two filters in an inertial navigation system improves the system performance to be faster and more accurate. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of this approach comparing to the conventional ones.
