Previous shape sensors including bend sensors and optic fiber based sensors are widely used in various applications including goniometer and surgical robots. But theses sensors have large nonlinearity, limited in the range of sensing curvature, and sometimes are expensive. This study suggests a new concept of bend sensor using cable-conduit which consists of the outer sheath and the inner wire. The outer sheath is made of helical coil whose length of the central line changes as the sheath bends. This length change of the central line can be measured with the length change of the inner cable. The modeling and the experimental results show that the output signal of the proposed sensor is linearly related with the bend angle of the sheath with root mean square error of 5.3% of $450^{\circ}$ sensing range. Also the polynomial calibration of the sensor can decrease the root mean square error to 2.1% of the full sensing range.

We have carried out photometric follow-up observations of bright transiting extrasolar planets using the CbNUOJ 0.6 m telescope. We have tested the possibility of obtaining high photometric precision by applying the telescope defocus technique, allowing the use of several hundred seconds in exposure time for a single measurement. We demonstrate that this technique is capable of obtaining a root-mean-square scatter of sub-millimagnitude order over several hours for a V~10 host star, typical for transiting planets detected from ground-based survey facilities. We compared our results with transit observations from a telescope operated in in-focus mode. High photometric precision was obtained due to the collection of a larger amount of photons, resulting in a higher signal compared to other random and systematic noise sources. Accurate telescope tracking is likely to further contribute to lowering systematic noise by exposing the same pixels on the CCD. Furthermore, a longer exposure time helps reduce the effect of scintillation noise which otherwise has a significant effect for small-aperture telescopes operated in in-focus mode. Finally we present the results of modelling four light-curves in which a root-mean-square scatter of 0.70 to 2.3 milli-magnitudes was achieved.

This paper describes a calculation method of source level of a ship transient noise, which is one of the important elements for the ship detection. Aim of transient noise measurements is to evaluate of acoustic energy due to singular occurrence, which is therefore defined as non-periodic and short termed events like an attack periscope, a rudder and a torpedo door. In generally, in the case of randomly spaced impulse, the spectrum becomes a broadband random noise with no distinctive pattern. Therefore, frequency analysis is not particularly revealing for type of signal. In the paper, it is performed in time domain to analyze a transient noise. However, a source level of transient noise is required an investigation for multiple frequency band. So, in order to calculate a source level of transient noise, a design of exponential weighting function, convolution, band pass filtering, peak detection, root mean square, and parameter compensation are applied. The effectiveness of this calculation scheme is studied through computer simulations and a sea test. Furthermore, an application of the method is applied in a real case.

Credibility theory is one of important theories in actuarial science to produce proper insurance premium. In this paper, new partial credibilities are proposed and introduced with widely accepted credibility theories such as rule of relative exposure volume, square root rule, B$\ddot{u}$hlmann credibility and B$\ddot{u}$hlmann-Straub credibility. Also, with credibilities estimated by current and newly suggested, the performance of the accuracy for estimating the risk is compared through real data analysis and we show that the newly suggested methods are improving the performance by reducing the error.

국내의 경우 수공구조물을 설계하기 위해서는 빈도해석을 통해 설계수문량을 산정한다. 일반적으로 실무에서는 지점빈도해석을 수행하게 되는데 설계빈도보다 대부분 짧은 기간의 자료를 이용하여 산정한다. 지역빈도해석은 이러한 자료기간이 가지는 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 확률수문량의 정확도와 신뢰도를 향상시키는 기법이다. 스케일 모델은 지속기간별로 관측된 강우자료를 이용하여 재현기간에 대한 지속기간의 함수로 표현이 가능하며, 이를 통해 강우의 IDF곡선을 제시할 수 있는 수학적 모델이다. 대상지역의 강우관측소에서 관측된 강우자료가 일단위이면, 기준지속기간이 24시간이 되며, 기준지속기간에 대한 확률강우량으로부터 임의의 지속기간에 대한 확률강우량을 스케일 모델을 이용하여 추정할 수 있다. 따라서 짧은 자료를 보유한 지역이거나 미계측 지역에 대한 확률강우량을 추정을 위해 지역빈도해석과 지역 스케일 모델을 이용하여 확률강우량을 추정하여 지점빈도해석과 비교하고자 한다. 본 연구를 위해 한강유역의 강우 관측소를 이용하였으며, 군집분석 중 k-means방법을 적용하여 수문학적 동질성을 확보한 후 지역을 구분하였다. 구분된 지역은 지점 및 지역빈도해석을 수행한 후 상대평균제곱근오차(relative root mean square error, RRMSE)를 비교하여 정확도를 판단하였고, 정확도가 높은 빈도해석에 지역 스케일 모델을 적용하여 미계측 지점에 대한 임의의 시간에 대한 확률강우량을 추정하고자 한다.

The freezing point would be different as the atmospheric pressure and humidity change. So if we can measure the transparency of ice, it should be easy that we approximate a freezing process and estimate the density of ice. This paper presents the method for estimating the transparency of ice in images. First, ice images are mapped to the $CIEL^*a^*b^*$ color space, and we make a new index for the ice transparency by using the average of $L^*$ and RMS(Root Mean Square) Contrast. In this case, the new index is better than the other existing method, i.e, Weber contrast, and Michelson contrast.

Radar signal analysis of electronic warfare is a technique for identifying a radar type by signal parameters(direction, radion frequency, pulse repetition interval, pulse width, scan period..) extracted from a received radar pulse. However as the modern radar and new threat environments is advanced, radar identification ambiguity arises in the process of identifying the types of radars. In this paper, we analyze the problems of the existing method and propose a new method. This technique determines the validity of the scan period by the difference in the arrival time of the radar pulse and the minimum number of scan period discrimination. Experiments proved that the scan cycle results are derived regardless of the RMS((Root Mean Square) of the input amplitude.

The dynamic performance of the wave energy converter (WEC) rotor with different geometric parameters such as depth of submergence and beak angle has been assessed by considering the linear potential flow theory using WAMIT solver and along with the computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The effect of viscous damping is incorporated by conducting numerical free decay test using CFD. The hydrodynamic coefficients obtained from the WAMIT, viscous damping from the CFD and estimated PTO damping are used to solve the equation of motion to obtain the final pitch response, mean optimal power and capture width. The viscous damping is almost 0.9 to 4.6 times when compared to the actual damping. It is observed that by neglecting the viscous damping the pitch response and power are overestimated when compared to the without viscous damping. The performance of the pitch WEC rotor in the Jeju western coast at the Chagwido is analyzed using Joint North Sea Wave Project (JONSWAP) spectrum and square-root of average extracted power is obtained. The performance of WEC rotor with depth of submergence 2.8 m and beak angle $60^{\circ}$ found to be good compared to the other rotors.

With the development of renewable energy sector, the importance of solar energy is continuously increasing. Solar radiation forecasting is essential to accurately solar power generation forecasting. In this paper, we used time series models (ARIMA, ARIMAX, seasonal ARIMA, seasonal ARIMAX, ARIMA GARCH, ARIMAX-GARCH, seasonal ARIMA-GARCH, seasonal ARIMAX-GARCH). We compared the performance of the models using mean absolute error and root mean square error. According to the performance of the models without exogenous variables, the Seasonal ARIMA-GARCH model showed better performance model considering the problem of heteroscedasticity. However, when the exogenous variables were considered, the ARIMAX model showed the best forecasting accuracy.
