Recently many automobile companies are developing parking assist system as it improves the convenience of drivers. Among several types of parking assistance system, the method using ultrasonic sensors for detecting parking space is widely used because of its low cost and usefulness. In order to detect the parking space, the parking space detection algorithm provides the width and the length of the parking space using long range ultrasonic sensor. In this paper, to detect the accurate parking space with the curbstone, the curbstone detection algorithm is proposed. The performances of the proposed algorithm are verified and evaluated by experiments.

As an autonomous driving technology is the future of on-road driving, an unmanned valet parking system is one of a key technology to realize door to door autonomous vehicle. When an autonomous vehicle arrive its destination, the driver steps out of the car and pushes button on the smart phone, and then the vehicle autonomously parking in without any anxiety of user. Similarly, the vehicle gets out from the parking lot at right time and right position for user. We mainly focused on a vehicle actuator control, path following control for parking slot detection, parking maneuver control with shift-by-wire system, and smart phone interface between the user and vehicle. As the localization technology of a vehicle at the indoor or outdoor parking areas is most important and difficult problem, we applied precise position information from the DGPS for preliminary implementation of the system.

Park, Sunghoon,Kim, Shinok,Park, Eun Mi,Kim, Hojoong,Kwon, O Jung,Chang, Chulhun L.,Lew, Woo Jin,Park, Young Kil,Koh, Won-Jung The Korean Academy of Medical Sciences 2008 JOURNAL OF KOREAN MEDICAL SCIENCE Vol.23 No.1

<P><I>Mycobacterium abscessus</I> is the second most common etiology of pulmonary disease caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria in Korea. Although antimicrobial susceptibility tests are important for appropriate patient management in <I>M. abscessus</I> lung disease, the tests have never been investigated in Korea. Seventy-four isolates of <I>M. abscessus</I> recovered from patient respiratory samples were tested against eight antimicrobial agents following the guidelines set forth by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards. Of the parenteral antibiotics, amikacin (99%, 73/74) and cefoxitin (99%, 73/74) were active against most isolates. Imipenem (55%, 36/66) and tobramycin (36%, 27/74) had activity against moderate number of isolates. Of the oral antibiotics, clarithromycin (91%, 67/74) was active against the majority of isolates. Moxifloxacin (73%, 54/74) and ciprofloxacin (57%, 42/74) had activity against a moderate number of isolates. Doxycycline was the least active, inhibiting only 7% (5/74) of isolates. In conclusion, the variations in susceptibility within <I>M. abscessus</I> isolates to currently available antimicrobials suggest that the antimicrobial susceptibilities of any clinically significant <I>M. abscessus</I> isolate be needed individually.</P>

A Multicenter Study of Pertussis Infection in Adults with Coughing in Korea: PCR-Based Study

Park, Sunghoon,Lee, Myung-Gu,Lee, Kwan Ho,Park, Yong Bum,Yoo, Kwang Ha,Park, Jeong-Woong,Kim, Changhwan,Lee, Yong Chul,Park, Jae Seuk,Kwon, Yong Soo,Seo, Ki-Hyun,Kim, Hui Jung,Kwak, Seung Min,Kim, Ju- The Korean Academy of Tuberculosis and Respiratory 2012 Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases Vol.73 No.5

Background: Limited data on the incidence and clinical characteristics of adult pertussis infections are available in Korea. Methods: Thirty-one hospitals and the Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention collaborated to investigate the incidence and clinical characteristics of pertussis infections among adults with a bothersome cough in non-outbreak, ordinary outpatient settings. Nasopharyngeal aspirates or nasopharyngeal swabs were collected for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and culture tests. Results: The study enrolled 934 patients between September 2009 and April 2011. Five patients were diagnosed as confirmed cases, satisfying both clinical and laboratory criteria (five positive PCR and one concurrent positive culture). Among 607 patients with cough duration of at least 2 weeks, 504 satisfied the clinical criteria of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (i.e., probable case). The clinical pertussis cases (i.e., both probable and confirmed cases) had a wide age distribution ($45.7{\pm}15.5$ years) and cough duration (median, 30 days; interquartile range, 18.0~50.0 days). In addition, sputum, rhinorrhea, and myalgia were less common and dyspnea was more common in the clinical cases, compared to the others (p=0.037, p=0.006, p=0.005, and p=0.030, respectively). Conclusion: The positive rate of pertussis infection may be low in non-outbreak, ordinary clinical settings if a PCR-based method is used. However, further prospective, well-designed, multicenter studies are needed.

Sorting directionally oriented microstructures using railed microfluidics

Park, Wook,Lee, Hosuk,Park, Hyungsung,Kwon, Sunghoon Royal Society of Chemistry 2009 Lab on a chip Vol.9 No.15

<P>We demonstrate the microfluidic sorting of directionally oriented (anisotropic) microstructures by their orientational state in solution using the concept of railed microfluidics. After being injected into a microfluidic channel, the microstructures rotate and flip in various directions. In order to sort microstructures in an organized way, we designed the microstructures and the microchannel to allow for orientation-based control of microstructure movement. In order to sort microstructures based on their rotation, we used a wedge shaped fin on the microstructures and a Y-shaped railed microfluidic channel. For sorting flipped particles, we use a double-railed microfluidic channel that has grooves on both its top and bottom surfaces. By integrating the two sorting methods we demonstrated high throughput, autonomous sorting into four different orientational states: unrotated–unflipped, rotated–unflipped, unrotated–flipped, and rotated–flipped. Here we not only demonstrate orientational assembly of directionally dependent microstructures, but also present design considerations for future work.</P> <P>Graphic Abstract</P><P>Autonomous microfluidic sorting technique for directionally oriented (anisotropic) microstructures by their orientation state (flipped and unflipped, rotated and unrotated) using the wedged fin and Y-shaped rail, and double rail concepts <IMG SRC='http://pubs.rsc.org/services/images/RSCpubs.ePlatform.Service.FreeContent.ImageService.svc/ImageService/image/GA?id=b904153b'> </P>

Acetone Gas Sensing Properties of a Multiple-Networked Fe₂O₃-Functionalized CuO Nanorod Sensor

Park, Sunghoon,Kheel, Hyejoon,Sun, Gun-Joo,Ko, Taegyung,Lee, Wan In,Lee, Chongmu Hindawi Limited 2015 Journal of nanomaterials Vol.2015 No.-

<P>Fe2O3-decorated CuO nanorods were prepared by Cu thermal oxidation followed by Fe2O3decoration via a solvothermal route. The acetone gas sensing properties of multiple-networked pristine and Fe2O3-decorated CuO nanorod sensors were examined. The optimal operating temperature of the sensors was found to be 240°C. The pristine and Fe2O3-decorated CuO nanorod sensors showed responses of 586 and 1,090%, respectively, to 1,000 ppm of acetone at 240°C. The Fe2O3-decorated CuO nanorod sensor also showed faster response and recovery than the latter sensor. The acetone gas sensing mechanism of the Fe2O3-decorated CuO nanorod sensor is discussed in detail. The origin of the enhanced sensing performance of the multiple-networked Fe2O3-decorated CuO nanorod sensor to acetone gas was explained by modulation of the potential barrier at the Fe2O3-CuO interface, highly catalytic activity of Fe2O3for acetone oxidation, and the creation of active adsorption sites by Fe2O3nanoparticles.</P>

UV-activated gas sensing properties of ZnS nanorods functionalized with Pd

Park, Sunghoon,An, Soyeon,Mun, Youngho,Lee, Chongmu Elsevier 2014 Current Applied Physics Vol.14 No.1

Pd-functionalized ZnS nanorods were prepared for use as gas sensors. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the diameters and lengths of the nanorods ranging from 30 to 80 nm and from 2 to 5 mu m, respectively. The diameter of Pd nanoparticles ranged from 2 to 5 nm. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that ZnS nanorods and Pd nanoparticles were monocrystalline and amorphous, respectively. The responses of multiple networked ZnS nanorods sensors to 1-5 ppm NO2 were increased substantially by a combination of Pd functionalization and UV irradiation. Pristine ZnS nanorod sensors at room temperature in the dark showed a response (similar to 100%) almost independent of NO2 concentration in a NO2 concentration range of 1-5 ppm. Pristine ZnS nanorod sensors showed enhanced responses of 214-603% to 1-5 ppm NO2 at room temperature under UV illumination. Pd-functionalized ZnS nanorods sensors showed further enhanced responses of 355-1511% to 1-5 ppm NO2 at room temperature under UV illumination. The NO2 gas sensing mechanism of the Pd-functionalized ZnS nanorods sensors under UV illumination is discussed in depth. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
