The selection of the temperature sensor in a cryogenic system depends on the temperature range, shape, and accuracy. An accurate temperature sensor is essential for improving the reliability of an experiment. We have developed a calibration system for cryogenic temperature sensors using a two-stage cryocooler. To reduce the heat load, a thermal shield is installed at the first stage with multiple layer insulation (MLI). We have also developed a sensor holder for calibrating more than 20 sensors simultaneously in order to save time and reduce costs. This system can calibrate sensors at variable temperatures via temperature control using a heater. In this paper, we present the design and fabrication of the temperature sensor calibration system and a representative experimental result.

The physical and electrical characteristics of MgO and Pt thin-films on it, deposited by reactive sputtering and rf magnetron sputtering, respectively, were analyzed with annealing temperature and time by four-point probe, SEM and XRD. Under annealing conditions of $1000^{\circ}C$ and 2 hr, MgO thin-film had the properties of improving Pt adhesion to $SiO_2$ and insulation without chemical reaction to Pt thin-film, and the sheet resistivity and the resistivity of Pt thin-film deposited on it were $0.1288\;{\Omega}/{\square}$ and $12.88\;{\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, respectively. We made Pt resistance pattern on $SiO_2$/Si substrate by lift-off method and fabricated thin-film type Pt-RTD(resistance thermometer device) for micro thermal sensors by Pt-wire, Pt-paste and SOG(spin-on-glass). In the temperature range of $25{\sim}400^{\circ}C$, the TCR value of fabricated Pt-RTD with thickness of $1.0{\mu}m$ was $3927\;ppm/^{\circ}C$ close to the Pt bulk value. Resistance values were varied linearly within the range of measurement temperature.

Nowadays, laserthermia is widely used to treat malignant tumors with generating heat as the one of minimal invasive surgeries. Generally, the laserthermia probe system consists of the fiber-optic laser and light guides, image guide and temperature sensor. It is very important to measure the temperature of treating tumor and make a stable temperature ($42{\sim}43^{\circ}C$) during the treating time. Therefore, laserthermia probe needs temperature sensor which can measure it exactly and fast. In this study, to develop a new type of temperature sensor with LC(liquid crystal) and optical fiber, the reflectivity of LC according to the temperature changes are measured. Also, the relationships are derived from the results.

기상관측 분야에서는 풍속센서의 소형화 요구가 커지고 있어 Air flow sensor를 이용한 MEMS(Micro Electro Mechanical System) 풍향 풍속센서의 응용연구가 활발하다. MEMS 풍향 풍속 센서는 수 mm 크기를 가지면서도 바람의 세기와 함께 방향을 측정하여야 하는데, 센서 칩이 노출되어 있어 외부환경으로부터 영향을 받기 때문에 센서소자의 내오염성과 내구성 확보가 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 절연막으로 비점착성의 테프론 막을 적용하여 외부환경으로부터 영향을 줄일 수 있는 열감지 방식의 MEMS 풍향 풍속 센서 칩을 제작하였다. 테프론 코팅막을 이용한 풍향 풍속 센서는 0.1m/s의 resolution을 가지며, 최대 15m/s까지 측정이 가능하여, 오염에 강하고 발수성을 센서를 제작하였다.

In this paper, we developed the algorithm to control longitudinal and lateral motion of UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) with Infrared heat sensors and GPS(Global Positioning System) receiver. UAV was controlled to be flown horizontally and also turned coordinately maintaining the constant altitude. Accomplishing the flight test of UAV sevral times, we were able to develope low price controller to control bank angle for lateral motion, and also pitch angle and altitude for longitudinal motion simultaneously.

This paper deals with data association using 3 sets of passive linear array sonars (PUS) geometrically positioned in a Y-shaped configuration, but fixed in an underwater environment. The data association problem is directly transformed into a 3-D assignment problem, which is known to be NP-hard. For generic passive sensors, it can be sotted using conventional algorithms, while it in PLAS becomes a formidable task due to the presence of bearing ambiguity. In particular, we proposed data association method robust to bearing measurements errors by incorporating frequency information and analyze a region of ghost problem by geometrical relation PUS and target. We analyzed the effectiveness of the proposed method by representative simulation in multi-target.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive beamforming algorithm of triplet arrays for active sonar systems. The proposed algorithm consists of three steps: matched filters, cardioid beamforming, and line array beamforming. First, we apply a matched filter of a transmitted pulse to received individual sensor signals and obtain filterd signals. Then, we perform the fast Fourier transform to the matched filter results, and make a cardioid beam for each triplet data, respectively. Finally, we apply an adaptive beamforming by assuming that the cardioid beams are input signals of a line array. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides better performances than conventional algorithms.

본 논문에서는 IoT 환경의 무선 센서 네트워크 시스템 상의 효율적인 패킷 전달을 위해 큐러닝(Q-learning)에 기반한 다중 대기열 동적 스케쥴링 기법을 제안한다. 이 정책은 다중 대기열(Multiple queue)의 각 큐가 요구하는 딜레이 조건에 맞춰 최대한 패킷 처리를 미룸으로써 효율적으로 CPU자원을 분배한다. 또한 각 노드들의 상태를 큐러닝(Q-learning)을 통해 지속적으로 상태를 파악하여 기아상태(Starvation)를 방지한다. 제안하는 기법은 무선 센서 네트워크 상의 가변적이고 예측 불가능한 환경에 대한 사전지식이 없이도 요구하는 서비스의 질(Quality of service)를 만족할 수 있도록 한다. 본 논문에서는 모의실험을 통해 기존의 학습 기반 패킷 스케쥴링 알고리즘과 비교하여 제안하는 스케쥴링 기법이 복잡한 요구조건에 따라 유연하고 공정한 서비스를 제공함에 있어 우수함을 증명하였다.

본 논문에서는 해저 고정형 선배열센서를 이용하여 다중경로 신호를 이용한 근거리표적의 위치 추정 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 다중경로를 통하여 근거리 표적의 신호가 센서에 도달하는 경우 각 신호의 원추각이 다르므로 신호들의 원추각과 시간차를 추정해서 3차원 표적의 위치를 추정할 수 있다. 원거리표적으로 가정하고 추정한 원추각과 신호들의 시간차에 대한 관계식을 유도하였으며 이들을 연립하여 표적의 위치를 추정하였다. 그러나 표적이 위치한 기하학적인 위치에 따라 신호들의 원추각이 거의 같아지는 지점이 존재한다. 이 경우 부가적인 1차원 탐색으로 표적의 위치를 추정하였다.

The paper presents the constant temperature digital hot-film anemometer that measures easily a wind velocity at the indoor. The output is linearized using microprocessor and analog-to-digital converter, because the fourth root of the wind velocity is the output voltage of the sensor. The comparison result between fabricated and reference anemometer is less than ${\pm}2%$. In the range of air temperature of $23^{\circ}C{\sim}60^{\circ}C$, the error is about ${\pm}1%$ in wind velocity 10m/sec.
