WHO는 3월 11일 코로나 19에 대한 세계적 대유행, 팬더믹(pandemic)을 선언하였다. 하지만 경제 및 사회적 활동으로 인하여 면대면 교육이나 세미나를 위해 건물 출입을 해야하는 상황이 발생한다. 코로나 19의 감염여부의 1차 체크 방법으로 체온 측정이 있어 근거리 체온 측정을 통해 1차적인 출입 차단을 실시하고 있다. 그로 인해 일일이 직접 체크하는 것이 번거롭기 때문에 열화상 카메라를 건물 입구에 설치하고, 적외선 카메라를 이용하여 간접적으로 체온을 측정하여 출입 통제를 하고 있다. 중고교나 대학 및 평생교육의 경우 출석체크 등과의 연동이 가능하고, 마스크 착용 여부를 자동으로 인식하고, 수강생의 인증이 가능한 시스템이 필요하다. 제안시스템은 스마트미러에 탐재된 카메라로 마스크 착용 여부를 확인하고, 음성인식 기술을 활용하여 건물안으로 들어오고자 하는 사용자의 목소리 인식을 통해 사용자를 인증하고, 출입 여부를 결정하는 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 제안 시스템은 근거리 온도 측정과 수강생의 스마트 폰의 출석체크 APP와 연동을 하게 되면 출석체크도 가능하다.

Safety related workers, such as firefighters, have to wear a protective helmet. The Development of Helmets for safety is in progress to promote the wearable device industry. Several accidents caused by negligence in recent days have raised public attention to safety. For this reason, the amount of national budget funding for the study of fire-fighting and smart safety helmets has increased. However, most previous studies have focused on safety, rather than the application of new technologies based on physical attributes, especially the characteristics of head shape and size, even though fire helmets play the critical role of protection from flames and external shocks etc. in an emergency. This paper will present the smart technologies and newly developed designs for safety helmets that are personalized for each firefighter, based on the characteristics of their head, and will help a rescue operation to be much more safe and efficient.

This study reviews the rear or tag axle steering system's concepts and technology applied to commercial vehicles. Most commercial vehicles are large in size with more than two axles. Maneuvering them around tight corners, narrow roads, and spaces is a difficult job if only the front axle is steerable. Furthermore, wear and tear in tires will increase as turn angle and number of axles are increased. This problem can be solved using rear axle steering technology that is being used in commercial vehicles nowadays. Rear axle steering system technology uses a cylinder mounted on one of rear axles called a steering cylinder. Cylinder control is the primary objective of the real axle steering system. There are two types of such steering mechanisms. One uses master and slave cylinder concept while the other concept is relatively new. It goes by the name of smart axle, self-steered axle, or smart steering axle driven independently from the front wheel steering. All these different types of steering mechanisms are discussed in this study with detailed description, advantages, disadvantages, and safety considerations.

This paper investigates the stick-slip characteristic of magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) between an aluminum plate and the surface of the MRE. MRE is a smart material and it can change its mechanical behavior with the interior iron particles under the influence of an applied magnetic field. Stick-slip is a movement of two surfaces relative to each other that proceeds as a series of jerks caused by alternate sticking from friction and sliding when the friction is overcome by an applied force. This special tribology phenomenon can lead to unnecessary wear, vibration, noise, and reduced service life of work piece. The stick-slip phenomenon is avoided as far as possible in the field of mechanical engineering. As this phenomenon is a function of material property, applied load, and velocity, it can be controlled using the characteristics of MRE. MRE as a soft smart material, whose mechanical properties such as modulus and stiffness can be changed via the strength of an external magnetic field, has been widely studied as a prospective replacement for general rubber in the mechanical domain. In this study, friction force is measured under different loads, speed, and magnetic field strength. From the test results, it is confirmed that the stick-slip phenomenon can be minimized under optimum conditions and can be applied in various mechanical components.

There are no specific guidelines on how to control the heat input for the heat generating smart base layer. This study investigated the mode of actuating heat pad attached to the base layer by performing a human wear test in a cold environment. Subjects participating in the test wore T-shirts, jumper and pants on the base layer with heating pads. Skin temperature, total time of heating and the number of switching for the heating mode were observed as the subject controlled the heating mode voluntarily. The comfortable range of skin temperature on the abdomen was larger than on the lower back. The subject felt hot and turned off the switch when the mean skin temperature of the abdomen was $48.8^{\circ}C$ and the lower back was $40.1^{\circ}C$. The total heating time and the number of actuating switching were larger for women than men. The voluntary action of heating for men with high cold sensitivity was significantly different from men with low cold sensitivity. Therefore, it is necessary (depending on gender and cold sensitivity) to set the heating mode differently for the automatic heat control of a future smart base layer.

본 연구의 목적은 마우스 사용 시 손목터널증후군을 예방할 수 있는 스마트장갑을 연구하는 것이다. 연구에 앞서 손목의 좌·우 움직임은 미세하므로 게이지율(Gauge Factor)이 크고, 이력현상(Hysteresis)이 적은 인장 직물 센서가 필요하다. 만능재료시험기(UTM)를 통해 4가지의 직물을 분석하여 각각의 게이지율을 계산하고, 이력현상도 가장 적은 직물을 선택하였다. 또한, 3가지 부착방법을 아두이노로 분석하여 센서값 변화(△Sensor Value) 값이 큰 방법을 선택하였다. 선택된 직물과 부착방법으로 제작한 프로토타입을 아두이노를 통해 데이터 패턴을 분석하였다. 첫 번째는 센서 1개(A 센서)로만 파악하는 방법이고, 두 번째로는 센서 2개(A, B 센서)로 파악하는 방법이다. 손목 왼쪽(A 센서), 손목 오른쪽(B 센서) 양쪽에 인장 직물 센서를 부착하고, 손목을 오른쪽으로 꺾을 때 A 센서는 늘어나서 △Sensor Value 값이 커지고, B 센서는 줄어들어서 △Sensor Value가 작아진다. 반면에 손목을 왼쪽으로 꺾을 때는 반대로 패턴이 분석되었다. 본 연구를 통해 손목이 꺾일 시 LED가 켜지는 알고리즘으로 손목터널증후군을 예방하는 스마트장갑을 연구하였고, 본 연구 결과를 기반으로 후속 연구에서는 10명을 대상으로 직접 마우스를 사용하면서 실제 사용 시 문제점을 파악하고 파악된 문제점을 해결하고자 한다.

Purpose Wearable devices are widely used in our daily life. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between persuasive designs of fitness trackers and users' physical activity behavior. Methods To test the research model, data was collected from a web-based survey in China, resulting in an effective sample of 166 usable questionnaires. The survey was restricted only to respondents who wear a fitness tracker. Results The sample surveyed in this study indicated that half of the respondents had been wearing a smart fitness tracker shorter than one year, and only 27% were long-time users (longer than two years). Dialogue support and social support strategies were both proved to be effective in increasing users' workout behavior intention. Social support strategies had a greater effect on behavior change than dialogue support strategies. Conclusion The findings from this study make several contributions to the practice. Wearable devices developers can employ the result from this study to help them design devices, which can persuade people to do more exercises and preserve a healthier life.

This research attempts to develop a method to relieve dysmenorrhea, which is an obstacle to many women's social activities, by designing a smartwear with built-in thermotherapy and TENS device. TENS therapy has the advantages of being controlled by patients and not depending on the use of drugs. The TENS device is designed as a stomach band so as to be unnoticeable to others when outer clothes are worn; the size was minimized and attached to underwear to facilitate use everywhere at any time. A current problem is the limitation of minimizing, but as battery technology is further developed, we can anticipate much smaller devices. The development of aforementioned smartwear function will increase women's choices in occupations and general improvement in quality of life.

Wear and aging associated damage is a severe problem for safety and maintenance of engineering structures. To acquire structural operational state and provide warning about different types of damage, research on damage identification has gained increasing popularity in recent years. Among various damage identification methods, the Lamb wave-based methods have shown promising suitability and potential for damage identification of plate-type structures. In this paper, a comprehensive study was presented to elaborate four remarkable aspects regarding the Lamb wave-based damage identification method for plate-type structures, including wave velocity, signal denoising, image reconstruction, and sensor layout. Conclusions and path forward were summarized and classified serving as a starting point for research and application in this area.
