Patent number: 10684383Abstract: Provided is an earthquake response system using a seismic motion sensor. The seismic motion sensor of the earthquake response system includes: a sensor unit measuring a sensor value including peak ground acceleration (PGA) of the ground due to shaking; a seismic motion sensing unit sensing seismic motion on the basis of a seismic motion sensing result value calculated from an artificial neural network that uses the peak ground acceleration as input when the peak ground acceleration satisfies a seismic motion sensing condition; a seismic motion determiner determining generation of final seismic motion on the basis of a seismic motion determination parameter calculated from the sensor value on the basis of the seismic motion sensing result; a shaking grade calculator calculating a shaking grade of the determined final seismic motion through the peak ground acceleration; and a communication unit notifying the shaking grade of the final seismic motion.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2019Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT RESEARCH INSTITUTEInventors: Seon Hwa Choi, Kihwan Lim, Myoung Jin Lee, Jae Seon Kim, Hyeong Gu Kang, Keumho Oh, Young-woo Kwon

Patent number: 7257123Abstract: A gateway enables mutual data communication between two or more networks by connecting the networks and forming a bypass path between the two networks to enable data communication therebetween when the gateway does not support a normal data communication mode. The gateway can form at least one physical communication path between the networks through the gateway even if the gateway cannot support a normal communication mode and/or power is interrupted to the gateway. Further, in spite of abnormal conditions, such as abnormal power supply to the gateway, if the bypass path is not formed, a user can compulsorily form the bypass path, thus improving reliability of a network system.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2002Date of Patent: August 14, 2007Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: In-Ho Choi, Young-Woo Kwon, Jun-Goo Lee, Yong-Seog Pahn

Patent number: 6873289Abstract: The present invention relates to a beam steering system. The system includes an array of a plurality of antenna elements, each antenna element being electrically and mechanically controlled for steering a beam in a specific direction, and a millimeter wave subsystem quasi-optically integrated with a 3-dimensional beam steering device and an MMIC-type active circuit. The antenna element is controlled in real time by an electrical driving method so as to be moved in 2-dimensional space. That is, in the 3-dimensional system of the present invention, the beam is electrically controlled by a phase shifter, and each antenna element is physically moved by a mechanical driving mechanism. The 3-dimensional beam steering antenna and the associated devices are monolithically integrated on a substrate using MEMS technology, and the active circuit elements such as a mixer, a power amplifier (PA), a low noise amplifier (LNA), a VCO, etc. are integrated in an MMIC active array.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2002Date of Patent: March 29, 2005Assignee: Seoul National UniversityInventors: Young-Woo Kwon, Chang-Yul Cheon

Patent number: 6765534Abstract: The present invention is concerning an element antenna to construct an efficient antenna system, which is able to control mechanical movement of micro-strip patch antenna and to control electrical phase of signal. The movement of an element antenna is come from movement of a platform on which the element antenna is formed. The platform is made of dielectric material and able to move independently from base. The element antenna can be controlled to any direction. An antenna patch has magnetic material layer such as nickel on the backside. The antenna patch is driven by magnetic force.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2001Date of Patent: July 20, 2004Assignee: Seoul National UniversityInventors: Young-Woo Kwon, Chang-Yul Cheon, Yong-Kweon Kim, Seung-Hyun Song, Chang-Wook Baek, Yang-Soo Lee
