Up to 10% of the global population suffers from color vision deficiency (CVD) [1], especially deuteranomaly and protanomaly, the conditions in which it is difficult to discriminate between red and green hues. For those who suffer from CVD, their career fields are restricted, and their childhood education is frustrating. There are many optical eye glasses on the market to compensate for this disability. However, although they are attractive due to their light weight, wearing these glasses will decrease visual brightness and cause problems at night. Therefore, this paper presents a supplementary device that comprises a head-mounted display and an image sensor. With the aid of the image processing technique of digital color space adjustment implemented in a high-speed field-programmable gate array device, the users can enjoy enhanced vision through the display without any decrease in brightness.

A new live-line insulator tester was developed to detect faulty insulators in 154kV power transmission lines. This paper is the first part of the two-part paper and deals with its tester development. The developed tester has the following characteristics. First, it automates parts of the insulator inspection process by using a sensor and an actuator, and secondly, it sustains its weight by itself, not by a lineman. Finally, it measures the insulation resistance of an insulator together with its distribution voltage to provide more information for its analysis and diagnosis. These leads to the improvement of its operation efficiency, measurement reliability and usability. Its effectiveness was validated by live-line field tests in actual power lines.

We consider a distributed estimation where many nodes remotely placed at known locations collect the measurements of the parameter of interest, quantize these measurements, and transmit the quantized data to a fusion node; this fusion node performs the parameter estimation. Noting that quantizers at nodes should operate in a non-regular framework where multiple codewords or quantization partitions can be mapped from a single measurement to improve the system performance, we propose a low-weight estimation algorithm that finds the most feasible combination of codewords. This combination is found by computing the weighted sum of the possible combinations whose weights are obtained by counting their occurrence in a learning process. Otherwise, tremendous complexity will be inevitable due to multiple codewords or partitions interpreted from non-regular quantized data. We conduct extensive experiments to demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides a statistically significant performance gain with low complexity as compared to typical estimation techniques.

Magneto-electric encoders have been widely used in industry and military applications because of their good shock resistance, small volume, and convenient data processing. However, the characteristics of a magneto-electric encoder's signal generator and hall sensor changes minimally with temperature variation. These changes cause an angle drift. The main purpose of this study is to construct the compensation system of a neural network and constantly update weight coefficients of temperature correction by finite iteration calculation so that the angle value modified can approach the angle value at the target temperature. This approach is used in adaptive correction of the angle value.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅은 사용자에게 장소와 시간에 제약이 없이 자유롭게 네트워크에 접속 할 수 있는 환경을 제공하고 있다. 이러한 환경은 모든 정보의 공유 및 접근이 쉽게 이루어지는 반면, 인가되지 않은 사용자의 불법적인 접근도 쉽게 이루어질 수 있기 때문에 적합한 보안 정책이 필요하다. 특히 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크의 센서 디바이스들은 제한된 전력을 이용하고 하드웨어적으로 작은 크기를 유지해야 하기 때문에 보안 정책 수립에 많은 제한이 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크에서 센서 노드의 제한적인 환경에서도 사용 가능한 공개키 기반의 보안 정책을 제안한다. 제안한 보안 프로토콜은 센서 노드에서 키 관리 및 보안 정책 적용을 최소한으로 포함시켜 저전력으로 사용 할 수 있는 공개키 기반의 보안 정책을 구현하였다. 성능 평가 결과 제안한 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크에서 공개키를 사용한 저전력 보안 프로토콜은 센서 노드의 하드웨어 성능이 낮은 환경에서도 상대적으로 저전력으로 보안 정책의 활용이 가능 하였다.

Since GPS signals are vulnerable to interference and obstruction, many alternate aiding systems have been proposed to integrate with an inertial navigation system. Among these alternate systems, the vision-aided method has become more attractive due to its benefits in weight, cost and power consumption. This paper proposes a loosely-coupled vision/INS integrated navigation method which can work in GPS-denied environments. The proposed method improves the navigation accuracy by correcting INS navigation and sensor errors using position and attitude outputs of a landmark based vision navigation system. Furthermore, it has advantage to provide redundant navigation output regardless of INS output. Computer simulations and the van tests have been carried out in order to show validity of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method works well and gives reliable navigation outputs with better performance.

균일한 소자 (안테나 또는 감지기) 간격으로 계수치를 체감하는 것보다 균일한 계수치로 소자의 간격을 체감하는 것이 실용적이며, 직사각형 어레이에서는, 삼각형 격자 구조가 직사각형 격자구조 보다 소자 수를 줄이는데 더 경제적이다. 접지판 위에 설치된 삼각형 격자 구조를 가진 직사각형 위상어레이의 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 소자간격 체감 방법을 제안하였다. 소자간격 체감이 주빔(main beam)의 폭과 측면로브(sidelobe)의 높이에 미치는 영향을 논의하였다. 제안된 방법을 사용한 결과 측면로브의 성능이 향상되었으나 주빔폭은 약간 넓어지는 것이 밝혀졌다.

The present paper designed a weight measuring instrumentation system in which data conversion and a series of signal processing were totally equipped. 16 loadcell are incoming sensors and each output of the loadcell was amplified and filtered for proper analog signal processing. Several measuring instrumentation OP amps and general purposed OP amps were used. 12 bits AID converters converted analog signals to digital bits and a PIC microprocessor controlled the 16 channels of loadcell. RF RS232 modules were used for wireless communication between the PIC microprocessor and an ethernet host for a remote sensor monitoring system development.

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.

This paper investigates the characteristics of stiffness and load in the thrust bearing of spindle which could be changeable according to the groove shape of inlet, in order to design a high-stiffness air bearing by selecting a optimal groove shape. In experiments, dead weight and displacement sensor are used to measure the load carrying capacity and the stiffness respectively. Various shapes and different depth of groove of self-restrictor are used as experimental conditions. Comparative study between the theoretical value and the practical one by measuring the value of stiffness and load of the thrust bearing is performed.
