<1. New level meter inside the fuel tank> Ultrasound level sensors are widely applied as level meters of liquid tank. Measurement instrument of level between water and fuel is developed. Since the fuel is inflammable, the sensor system doesn't allow to include any electric circuit inside the fuel tank. The optical cable sensor can satisfy this explosive condition. The measurement method with ultrasonic sensor is attached on the tank wall or tank manhole lid. The pressure sensor can't be applied inside the gasoline fuel tank. An ultra-sonic sensor doesn't detect a enough signal reflected from water level deep under gasoline fuel. The pressure sensor is difficult to measure the height o...

This paper presents the altitude control of a quadrotor system under the disturbance. The altitude is measured by an ultra sonic sensor attached at the bottom of the quadrotor system and the measured altitude data are used in the time-delayed controller. To test the robustness of the controller, a weight attached to the center of the system is dropped intentionally several times to cause disturbances to the system. Performances of the altitude control by the PID control and time-delayed control method are compared experimentally. Experimental studies are conducted to verify the outperformance of the time-delayed controller for controlling the altitude of the quadrotor system under disturbances.

In this paper, dynamic behaviors of a small-sized flying robot with 4 rotors propelled by DC motor are discussed, and a control scheme based on the dynamic model to make stable flying motions, i.e., hovering, take-off, cruising behavior, etc. is proposed. The experimental results via some flying tests show good performances for practical use. The flying robot with 6DOF is controlled only 4 DOF, and the rest of two DOF are remained under the dynamic constraints. How to give the stability of all positions and orientations and to make the omni-directional motions in spite of such restrictions is analyzed. The proposed control scheme composes of two stages. First, PD control inputs for the trust-force and orientation are calculated, next the control inputs are distributed to each rotor by using a sort of Jacobian matrix. To design and control of a low cost - small sized flying robot, vibrated gyro sensor, cheap accelerometer, IR, and ultra sonic sensors are selected.

The air fuel ratios of current gasoline engines are almost controlled by several air flow meters. When CVVT (Continuous Variable Valve Timing) is applied to a gasoline engine for higher engine performance, the MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor is difficult to follow the instantaneous air fuel ratio due to the valve timing effect. Therefore, a HFM (Hot Film Flow Meter) is widely used for measuring intake air flow in this case. However, the HFMs are incapable of indicating to reverse flow, the oscillation of intake air flow has an negative effect on the precision of the HFM. Consequently, the various duct configurations in front of the air flow sensor affect the precision of HFM sensitivity. This paper mainly focused on the analysis of the reverse flow, flow fluctuation in throttle upstream and the geometry of intake system which influence the HFM measurement.

The purpose of this research is the warpage reduction for intake-manifold which is made to the injection molding. Intake-manifold is assembling to ultra sonic welding after forming. Therefore deformation is influence on the performance and manufacture to intake-manifold product. Location and number of gates, filling time, mold temperature, packing time, packing pressure and cooling time are factors that affect the deformation of injection molding product. Therefore, the injection molding characteristics of intake-manifold and the estimated deformation are detected by CAE analysis and compare measuring data in this study.

Crack detection technique for concrete structures has been developed in this study,. The technique utilizes OTDR(Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) method that is widely used in the field of optical engineering. At present, some techniques, such as the naked eye inspection, inspection by crack gauge, ultra sonic detection and os on, are used for crack detection. However, these are not economical and are often time-consuming works. This method employs a common optical fiber as a means of crack detection. Th optical fiber is fully attached to concrete surface, and a crack on concrete could be detected to synchronize with the crack on optical fiber. The experimental verification was performed for concrete beams and the intial crack on the beam was detected under cracking force.

최근 영상처리와 초음파 센서를 이용한 자동 주차 시스템을 장착한 차량들이 증가하고 있는데 기존의 자동 주차 시스템은 운전자가 탑승한 상태에서 주차 공간을 확인 후 주차를 하는 방식이다. 본 연구에서는 주차장의 주차관리 시스템과 연계하여 주차장 입구에서부터 주차 위치까지 무인자동 주차를 할 수 있도록 하는 발전된 형태의 자동 주차 시스템을 제안한다. 차량은 기존 자동 주차 시스템과 비슷하나 주차장은 일정한 구조와 표식을 이용하여 자동차의 영상처리와 센서 인식의 효율을 높여주게 되어 쉽고 안전하게 주차 할 수 있도록 도와주게 된다.

In vehicle development process, durability test should be carried out in field condition. Nowadays there are many customer live there multiple conditions. It makes change of the car's material. Such change causes to lose a bolt. Diversifications of climatic conditions are also a matter of loosening the bolt. To avoid this problem, to identify the cause of the problem, and the solution should be applied. To avoid problems during the durability development test should be measured by the clamping force. Ultrasonic instruments clamping force without affecting the torque can be measured. This instrument is part of the problem by monitoring the clamping force required to obtain objective data.

Ni-CNT(Carbon Nanotubes) composite coating is often used for the surface treatment of mechanical/electronic devices to improve the properties of the Ni coating. For the Ni-CNT coating, the dispersion of CNT fibers is a critical process. In this study, ultrasonic treatment instead of the conventional ball milling was attempted as a dispersion method for the electroless Ni-CNT coating. SEM-EDX analysis was performed and contact angle, sheet resistance, and micro-hardness were measured. Results showed that the ultrasonic treatment was comparable to the ball milling, as a dispersion method, but the difference was negligible. However, combined ball milling and ultrasonic treatment(double treatment) showed much improved micro-hardness value, above 350Hv(close to the value obtained by the Ni-CNT electroplating). In addition, electroless Ni-CNT(double-treated) coatings formed on the thin Ni film deposited by the electroless plating(double coating) showed better mechanical properties. Thus, double treatment and double coating are suggested as an improved electroless Ni-CNT coating method.

This paper is to present map building of mobile robot using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology and ultrasonic sensor. For mobile robot to perform map building, the mobile robot needs its localization and accurate driving in space. In this reason, firstly, kinematic modeling of mobile robot under non-holonomic constrains is introduced. Secondly, based on this modeling, a tracking controller is designed for tracking a given path based on backstepping method using Lyapunov function. The Lyapunov function is also introduced for proving the stability of the designed tracking controller. Thirdly, 2D map building is performed by RFID system, mobile robot system and ultrasonic sensors. The RFID mobile robot system is composed of DC motor, encoder, ultra sonic sensor, digital compass, RFID receiver and RFID antenna. Finally, the path tracking simulation results and map building experimental results are presented to show the effectiveness of the designed controller.
