전장환경에서 헬기는 헬기생존체계의 다양한 센서를 통하여 수집한 데이터를 기반으로 헬기에 대한 위협을 식별한다. 헬기의 성공적인 임무 수행 및 생존을 위하여 헬기에 대한 위협을 반복적으로 확인할 수 있는 시뮬레이터의 구현은 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 (1) 헬기의 센서가 수신하는 위협요소를 정의하는 온톨로지 생성기, (2) 전장환경과 유사한 위협을 다양한 분포로 생성하는 위협자료 생성기 및 (3) 다양한 전장 시나리오에서 센서들이 수집한 데이터를 통합하여 위협의 방향과 정도를 사용자에게 실시간으로 보여주는 그래픽 표시기를 개발한다. 구현한 헬기의 다중센서 위협 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 다양한 위협에 대한 탐지 및 분류 정확도를 측정한다.

센서 네트워크는 습도, 온도, 조도 등의 다양한 정보를 수집할 수 있는 센서들을 특정한 지역이나 광범위한 지역에 분포하여 특정 이벤트를 탐지하거나 계속적으로 환경을 관찰하여 수집된 정보를 효율적으로 Base Station으로 전송하는 일종의 애드 혹 네트워크이다. 본 논문은 센서 네트워크의 라우팅 프로토콜 중 PEGASIS와 동심원 형태의 클러스터링 방법에 대해 취약점을 알아보고, 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 클러스터 헤드 선출을 위한 두 가지 기준을 정하고, 퍼지 이론을 기반으로 적절한 선택 값을 도출하여 효율적인 클러스터 헤드를 선출하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 각 센서 노드들의 남아있는 에너지를 고려할 수 있으며, 각 레벨에서 클러스터 헤드들은 가깝게 위치하게 되어 Multi-hop으로 데이터 전송 시 기존의 방법들보다 전송 거리를 줄일 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다.

본 논문은 무선 센서 네트워크의 에너지 효율적인 운영을 위해 무선 센서 네트워크 환경에 적합한 클러스터 헤드 선출 메커니즘을 제안한다. LEACH 와 같은 기존의 확률 모델 기반의 클러스터 헤드 선출 메커니즘들은 각 라운드마다 클러스터 헤드로 선출될 확률과 라운드 횟수 등을 바탕으로 클러스터 헤드를 선출한다. 그러나 이와 같은 방법은 각 노드의 상황을 고려하지 않아 네트워크의 수명을 단축시킬 수 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 각 센서 노드의 에너지 및 노드 분포 상황을 고려하여 클러스터 헤드를 선출해야 한다. 하지만 실제 무선 센서 네트워크 환경에서는 클러스터 헤드 선출을 위해 정확한 정보를 수집하고 이를 계산하는데 있어 큰 오버헤드가 발생하는 문제점이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 정보 수집 및 계산에 있어서 오버헤드를 줄이고 네트워크의 수명을 극대화하기 위하여 퍼지 논리를 이용한 퍼지 논리 기반의 클러스터 헤드 선출 메커니즘을 제안한다. Matlab 을 통한 시뮬레이션 결과 LEACH 에 비해 퍼지 논리 기반의 클러스터 헤드 선출 메커니즘을 이용했을 경우 네트워크 수명이 약 16.3% 향상되었다.

The value of sensing information is decided according to positions of sensor nodes, which are very important in sensor networks. In this paper, we propose a method that estimates positions of nodes by using adjacent node information and received signal strength in a sensor network. With the proposed method, we can find positions of nodes easily because we use information that nodes have. Moreover, we can find distribution easily for all the nodes because we can measure a relative position for a node whose position is not known based on anchor nodes whose positions are already known. We utilized Use case diagram, activity diagram and State machine diagram among several diagrams of UML to implement proposed method in sensor networks that is dynamic system. We can understand exact flow for each function of the proposed method in node position estimation system can be implemented easily. And we can be confirmed that the position of estimated nodes has a little error.

In these days, the piezoresistive material has been applied to various sensors in order to measure the change of physical quantities. But the relationship between the sensitivity of a sensor and the position and size of piezoresistor has rarely been studied. Therefore, this paper was focused on the distribution of the resistance change ratio on the diaphragm and bridge surface where piezoresistor would be formed, and proposed the proper size and position of piezoresistor with which the sensitivity of sensor was increased. As the width of mass and boss was increased, the distance between piezoresistors was closed and the maximum value of resistance change ratio was decreased by the increase of the structure stiffness.

A sensor array with 10 discrete sensors integrated on a substrate w3s developed for discriminating the kinds and quantities of inflammable gases, like butane, propane, methane, LPG, carbon monoxide. The sensor array consisted of 10 metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors using the nano-sized $SnO_2$ as base material and had differentiated sensitivity patterns to specific gas. The sensor array was designed with uniform thermal distribution and had also high sensitivity and good reproductivity to low gas concentration through nano-sized sensing materials with different additives. By using the sensing patterns of the sensor array at $400^{\circ}C$, we could reliably discriminate the kinds and quantities of the tested inflammable gases under the lower explosion limit through the principal component analysis(PCA).

Recently, a speed control method of induction motor by vector control theory is applied to highly efficient industrial field. The speed sensors attached to motor are used for detection of rotating speed. In the case using speed sensor, the installation of cable for minimization of electric noise, weaken maintenance, increase of price are demerit. Therefore the study of speed sensorless vector control theory performed activity. The design of sensorless vector controller for induction motor using tabu search is studied. The proposed sensorless vector control for Induction Motor is composed of two parts. The first part is for optimizing the speed estimation with initial PI parameters. The second part is for optimizing the speed control with initial PI parameters using tabu search. Proposed tabu search is improved by neighbor solution creation using Triangular random distribution. In order to show the usefulness of the proposed method, we apply the proposed controller to the sensorless speed control of an actual AC induction Motor System. The performance of this approach is verified through simulation and the experiment.

The micro heater with PSG/$Si_{3}N_{4}$ diaphragm and platinum heater pattern was designed for micro-gas sensor fabrication. The platinum heater and the platinum electrode for sensing layer were designed on the same plane and fabricated in the single photolithography process. The thermal analyses including temperature distribution over the diaphragm and power consumption of the heater were carried by finite element method. The thermal properties of the microsensor with both heater and sensing electrode on the same plane was compared with that of the typical microsensor which had the structure of sensing layer/insulator/heater on the diaphragm.

In this study, we propose a novel fiber optic sensor to show the measurement feasibility of distributed temperature and strains in a single sensing fiber line. Distributed temperature can be measured using optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) with a Raman anti-Stokes light in the sensing fiber line. Moreover, the strain can be measured by fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) in the same sensing fiber line. The anti-Stokes Raman back-scattering lights from both ends of the sensing fiber, which consists of a 4 km single mode optical fiber, are acquired and inserted into a newly formulated equation to calculate the temperature. Furthermore, the center wavelengths from the FBGs in the sensing fiber are detected by an optical spectrum analyzer; these are converted to strain values. The initial wavelengths of the FBGs are selected to avoid a cross-talk with the wavelength of the Raman pulsed pump light. Wavelength shifts from a tension test were found to be 0.1 nm, 0.17 nm, 0.29 nm, and 0.00 nm, with corresponding strain values of $85.76{\mu}{\epsilon}$, $145.55{\mu}{\epsilon}$, $247.86{\mu}{\epsilon}$, and $0.00{\mu}{\epsilon}$, respectively. In addition, a 50 m portion of the sensing fiber from $30^{\circ}C$ to $70^{\circ}C$ at $10^{\circ}C$ intervals was used to measure the distributed temperature. In all tests, the temperature measurement accuracy of the proposed sensor was less than $0.50^{\circ}C$.

We demonstrate a distributed fiber sensor system based on spatially-selective Brillouin scattering, using a single laser diode as a light source whose optical frequency is directly modulated by the injection current. The pump and the counter-propagating probe lights, which are sinusoidally frequency-modulated, are superposed in the fiber so that stimulated Brillouin scattering takes places only at a specific location along the fiber. Brillouin gain peak position is controlled by varying the modulation frequency. Distributions of Brillouin shift frequency are measured for the case of concatenated optical fibers of two different kinds and also for the case of temperature distribution. The temperature coefficient of the Brillouin shift frequency is measured to be $1.33MHz/^{\circ}C$.
