A non-contact torque sensor was developed using amorphous alloy. The change of maixmum magnetic induction of C0-based amorphous alloy under the tensile and compressive stress was proportional to applied torque. For the construction of the torque sensor, a glass fiber reinforced-epoxy rod was used as shaft. The amorphous strips were attached on the epoxy shaft in the direction of $+45^{\circ}$and $-45^{\circ}$. The magnetizing coil and 2 sensing coil was installed. The static and dynamic test was carried out. The linearity and sensor hysteresis of the torque sensor was less than 1%.

This paper is described a development of an optical fiber displacement sensor. The optical fiber sensor using an intensity modulated measures the displacement between target and sensor. A prototype sensor is composed of a transmitting part, a receiving part and a signal processing circuit. The experiment was conducted not only the sensor performance but also factors that affect intensity. The main performance of this sensor is resolution of 0.37um and the non-linearity $0.7\%$ FS and the dynamic bandwidth of about 6.3kHz. As a result of rotation test, the prototype sensor showed an equivalent performance to a commercial eddy current sensor.

In this paper, there was finding laser beam focal length using the camera at the work with laser preprocess. A process have some similarity that the laser direct writing was condition of unused other light source in order to a partical object of working substrate, so we worked finding focal length using yellow light. As we found focal lengths from three points of substrate edges, The focal length of all substrates was able to be computed by calculating a plane equation using these three point. Also we make a device and software that can automatically perform all of the processes.

Among the automotive steering systems, an Electric Power Assisted steering (EPAS) system utilizes an electronically controlled electric motor to provide steering assistance to the driver. The key components of the EPAS system are torque sensor, ECU (Electronic Control Unit), and DC Motor. The most important component of the EPAS is the torque sensor. The conventional torque sensor has complicated mechanical mechanism of torque detection. However, we suggest a non-contact torque sensor for EPAS using Maluss polarization law. It was found that the sensor exhibited not only excellent linearity but also superior characteristics of hysteresis, temperature and vibration.

In this paper, we investigate a new method to measure the thickness of thin transparent objects utilizing a step index multi-mode optical fiber sensor. The method mainly depends on the refraction rate of transparent target, the diameter of optical fibers and the distance to reflector. We confirmed the effects of these parameters through the experimental verification tests. The comparison between the theoretical vs. analytical results shows good agreements with each other. The proposed model also enables users to measure the thickness of thin transparent objects without considering the reflection from the target. This approach provides simple, cost-effective and non-contact solutions to measure the thickness.

In this paper, a hybrid sensor is proposed that has two capabilities: The first is to sense longitudinal of flexural elastic waves selectively which are transmitted along the targe shaft, the second to measure the rotating speed of the shaft. All measurement are made in a noncontact manner since this sensor uses magnetostriction as its measuring principles. Furthermore, the switching between these two sensing capabilities are accomplished by a very simple mechanical operation. To verify the capabilities of the Proposed sensor, an Prototype sensor are fabricated and the experiments are made. The result shows this sensor can embody two sensing capabilities in one sensor configuration.

Number of subway train units that Seoul Metropolitan Subway Corporation as at September 2005 is 1.944 on 4 routes from 60 units at the time of commencement of operation, having grown exponentially. Along with increase in the number of passengers the role of subway as safer and expedient means of transportation is now being required. Furthermore, the Corporation has been researching on means of improving the safety and reliability of subway entry/exit doors which has become an essential task and directly effect the safety of the passengers. In this Study, has developed sensory control system for the entry/exit door of the subway train using non-contact proximity sensor as a part of review of and measures against various issues of entry/exit door of the subway trains currently under operation. In addition, this sensor system was verified through test production and tests. If this technology becomes commercialized and practically utilized in the future, it would be able to make definite contribution to the safer transportation of passengers.

This paper introduces a sensor system based on indoor locations in order to implement the Building Energy Management System. This system consists of a thermopile sensor and an ultrasonic sensor. The sensor module is rotated by $360^{\circ}$ and yawed up-and-down by two electric motors. Therefore, it can simultaneously detect the number and location of the inhabitants in the room. It uses wireless technology to communicate with the building manager or the smart-home server, and it can save electric energy by controlling the lighting system or heating/air conditioning equipment automatically. We also demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed system by applying it to a real environment.

폴리우레탄, 폴리에스테르, 바이페놀, PVC 외 각종 농약 등을 생산하는 울산의 모 화학공장에서, 다양한 종류의 휘발성유기화합물질들(VOCs)이 배출되고 있다. 평균적인 휘발성유기화합물질의 배출 농도는 7283 ppm으로, 톨루엔, 페놀을 포함하여 Trimethyl-pentene, trimethyl-hexene, dimethyl-cyclohexane 등이 검출되었다. Trimethyl-pentene, trimethyl-hexene, dimethyl-cyclohexane등은 인화성이 강하며 화재를 일으킬 위험성이 매우 큰 것으로 알려져 있고, 특히 톨루엔과 페놀의 경우는 호흡이나 피부접촉 등을 통한 인체로의 유입이 있을 경우 유독성을 나타내게 된다. 이러한 VOCs제거를 위하여 겨울철 기간에 파이로트-규모의 바이오필터 적용 실험이 진행되어 졌다. 본 연구의 목적은 바이오필터 운영이 진행되는 가운데 온도, 함수비, 하중, 압력손실 등의 제한요소들이 미디어 내부에서 변화하는 상황에 대한 관찰 및 평가에 있다. 이러한 제한요소들은 바이오필터의 디자인과 오염물질 제거에 심대한 영향을 미치게 된다. 바이오필터는 옥외에 설치되어 총 44일간 운영되어 졌는데, 외부 영하온도의 영향을 최소화하기 위하여, 7cm두께의 파이버-글래스 소재 단열설비가 반응기 외부에 설치되었고 또한 $150^{\circ}C$의 스팀이 바이오필터 반응기와 단열설비 사이에 제공되어 졌다. 바이오필터 반응기 내부에는 23개의 온도 측정 센서와 함수비 센서, 공기샘플포트, 습도계 등이 각기 다른 장소에 설치되어 온도, 함수비 등의 제한요소 영향연구가 진행되었다. 미디어 내부 같은 높이의 서로 반대되는 위치에서 온도차가 13.7도에서 -8.3도까지 차이가 나는 것으로 관찰되었으며, 미디어 높이 위치의 변화에 따라서도 21도에서 2도가지 차이를 나타냈다. 바이오필터 함수비는 실험기간 동안 지속적으로 변화가 발생하였는데, 스팀이 제공되는 동안에는 미디어 함수비가 훨씬 빠른 속도로 증가됨이 관찰되어 졌다.

In this paper, we develop a cost effective and disposable voltammetric sensing platform involving screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) modified with the nanocomposites composed of multi-walled carbon nanotubes, polyelectrolyte, and tyrosinase for bisphenol A. This is known as an endocrine disruptor which is also related to chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular and female reproductive diseases, precocious puberty, and infertility. A negatively charged oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) wrapped with a positively charged polyelectrolyte, e.g., polydiallyldimethylammonium, was first wrapped with a negatively charged tyrosinae layer via electrostatic interaction and assembled onto oxygen plasma treated SPCE. The nanocomposite modified SPCE was then immersed into different concentrations of bisphenol A for a given time where the tyrosinase reacted with OH group in the bisphenol A to produce the product, 4,4'-isopropylidenebis(1,2-benzoquinone). Cyclic and differential pulse voltammetries at the potential of -0.08 V vs. Ag/AgCl was employed and peak current changes responsible to the reduction of 4,4'-isopropylidenebis(1,2-benzoquinone) were measured which linearly increased with respect to the bisphenol A concentration. In addition, the SPCE based sensor showed excellent selectivity toward an interferent agent, bisphenol S, which has a very similar structure. Finally, the sensor was applied to the analysis of bisphenol A present in an environmental sample solution prepared in our laboratory.
