This paper describes a noble robot sensor designed to recognize an unknown material by measuring its thermal conductivity on various ambient temperature. The excellent agreement has been obtained between the measured sensor temperature and the calculated sensor temperature by cubic spline interpolation. The active sensor to measure the thermal conductivity of a gripped object was designed and the software program using C language to discriminate objects made of different materials was developed. The temperature response characteristics of different materials on the same ambient temperature was investigated. The temperatures on three comparing points varied linearly and had parallel relation with one another in accordance with various ambient temperature.

Platinum thin films were deposited on $SiO_{2}/Si$ and $Al_{2}O_{3}$ substrates by DC magnetron sputtering for RTD (resistance thermometer devices) temperature sensors. The resistivity and sheet resistivity of these films were decreased with increasing the annealing temperature and time. We made Pt resistance pattern on $Al_{2}O_{3}$ substrate by lift-off method and fabricated Pt-RTD temperature sensors by using W-wire, silver epoxy and SOG(spin-on-glass). In the temperature range of $25{\sim}400^{\circ}C$, we investigated TCR(temperature coefficient of resistance) and resistance ratio of Pt-RTD temperature sensors. TCR values were increased with increasing the annealing temperature, time and the thickness of Pt thin films. Resistance values were varied linearly within the range of measurement temperature. At annealing temperature of $1000^{\circ}C$, time of 240min and thin film thickness of $1{\mu}m$, we obtained TCR value of $3825ppm/^{\circ}C$ close to the Pt bulk value.

Optical Temperature Distribution Sensor Measurement System uses fiber optic sensors itself for temperature measurement is a system which can be measured the Installed surrounding entire temperature as a thousand points by laying a single strand of fiber optic. If there are a lot of measuring points in the distribution Measurement, the cost of each measuring point can be reduced the cost level of existing sensors and at the same time this has the advantage of connecting all sensors as one or two strands of fiber. Generally Optical Fiber is used for communication but Optical Fiber itself can be used for sensor and it has the characteristic of sensor function which can be measured Temperature in the at least each one meter distance. By using these characteristics each sensor and the number of Connection Lines can be reduced. In this paper, we implement a real time temperature monitoring system, which is easy to manage and control for data storage, data management, data storage using a computer and which has the functions of monitoring and correction according to Real-time temperature changes using historical temperature data.

The temperature sensor using ring oscillator is designed by 0.18㎛ CMOS process and the supply voltage is 1.5volts. The temperature sensor is designed by using temperature-independent and temperature-dependent ring oscillators and the output frequency of temperature-independent ring oscillator is constant with temperature and the output frequency of temperature-dependent ring oscillator decreases with increasing temperature. To convert the temperature to a digital value the output signal of temperature-independent ring oscillator is used for the clock signal and the output signal of temperature-dependent ring oscillator is used for the enable signal of counter. From HSPICE simulation results, the temperature error is less than form -0.7℃ to 1.0℃ when the operating temperature is varied from -20℃ to 70℃.

A temperature-compensating double fiber Bragg grating(FBG) sensor having two different FBGs in one fiber line was proposed for real time measurement of mechanical normal strain in structures. Measurement of mechanical strains of the aluminum beam surface by the double FBG sensor was performed under various thermal conditions, and the results were compared with those of electrical resistance strain gage. The FBG sensor fabricated in this study was able to measure accurately the mechanical strains without containing any thermal strain component.

In this paper, the fire risk using a bimetal type thermometer for construction installation is presented. Because construction equipment is used widely in the field and the site is exposed to explosions and fire by combustible gas or fume, strong restrictions on the structure and usage are applied. Moreover, the risk of fire increases as precise temperature measurements are poorly conducted via an inner temperature sensor inside construction furnace. Therefore, this paper presents the results of structural analysis of a bimetal temperature sensor which is used widely in construction installation and temperature measurement experiments relative to the material property of the target object. The results revealed the relatively precise temperature of the liquid object, whereas those of the gas and solid object showed a lower temperature compared to the real temperature. This shows that bimetal-type temperature sensor is more suitable for measuring a liquid state object than measuring a gas or solid state object.

지표면 온도는 토지피복의 상태, 식생의 분포 상태, 토양수분, 증발산 등의 영향으로 많은 차이를 가지게 되며, 지면-대기의 상호순환의 중요한 인자로써 기후모델 및 농업 등의 기본적인 데이터로 사용되고 있다. 이러한 지표면의 온도를 정확하게 파악하는 것은 수문학적 관점 및 기상적인 관점에서 매우 중요하다. 기존에 LST (Land Surface Temperature, 지표면온도), ET (EvapoTranspiration, 증발산), NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, 정규식생지수) 등의 검증이 많이 이루어진 MODIS위성의 Terra/Aqua센서는 한반도를 스캔하고 지나갈 때의 순간적인 데이터를 산출된다. 공간적인 면에서는 많은 이점이 있으나 시간적인 면에서는 시간에 따른 인자들의 변동성을 파악 하는데는 많은 문제가 있다. 그렇기 때문에 시 공간적으로 변화양상을 측정 할 수 있는 정지궤도위성의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 2010년 6월 27일 발사된 정지궤도위성인 천리안의 데이터를 활용하였다. 천리안 위성은 기상 센서와 해양관측 센서 그리고 통신센서를 가진 위성이다. 천리안 위성의 기상 센서는 MTSAT-1 위성과 같은 적외선 센서를 탑재하고 있으며, 평시에는 15분 단위의 데이터를 산출하게 된다. 천리안에서 제공되는 많은 Product(강우강도, 해수면온도, 가강수량, 지구방출복사 등)는 수자원 및 기상에 관련된 데이터가 제공된다. 하지만 아직 검증이 많이 이루어지지 못하였다. 그래서 천리안 위성 데이터인 지표면 온도자료를 이용하여 천리안 위성의 효율성에 대해서 알아보고자 하며, 기존의 검증이 많이 이루어진 MODIS의 데이터와의 상관성을 분석하고 지상과의 관계를 검증 및 비교하여 천리안 위성의 활용성에 대해서 알아보려고 한다.

In this study, a wireless and non-power SAW (surface acoustic wave) temperature sensor was developed. The single inter-digital transducer (IDT) of SAW temperature sensor of which resonance frequency is 434 MHz was fabricated on $128^{\circ}$ rot-X $LiNbO_3$ piezoelectric substrate by semiconductor processing technology. To find optimal acoustic reflector for SAW temperature sensor, various kinds of acoustic reflectors were fabricated and their reflection characteristics were analyzed. The IDT type acoustic reflector showed better reflection characteristic than other reflectors. The wireless temperature sensing system consisting of SAW temperature sensor with dipole antenna and a microprocessor based control circuit with dipole antenna for transmitting signal to activate the SAW temperature sensor and receiving the signal from SAW temperature sensor was developed. The result with wireless SAW temperature sensing system showed that the frequency of SAW temperature sensor was linearly decreased with the increase of temperature in the range of 40 to $80^{\circ}C$ and the developed wireless SAW temperature sensing system showed the excellent performance with the coefficient of determination of 0.99.

최근 센서네트워크에서 수집되는 방대한 양의 데이터를 효율적으로 처리하기 위하여 관계형 데이터베이스를 이용한 센서네트워크가 활발히 연구되고 있다. 센서네트워크에서는 제한된 에너지를 사용한다는 점, 스트림 데이터를 처리할 수 있어야 한다는 점 등에서 기존 데이터베이스와는 다른 연구가 필요하다. 정확히 일치하는 키 값에 대하여만 조인이 발생하는 조인연산 또한 센서네트워크에서 사용하기 위해서는 새로운 정의가 필요하다. 온도센서와 습도센서가 일정영역에 무작위로 뿌려져 있는 센서네트워크를 가정해 보자. 데이터베이스 관점에서는 온도릴레이션과 습도릴레이션이 존재하게 된다. 이때 위치에 따른 온도와 습도의 상관관계를 얻기 위하여 좌표를 키 값으로 하여 릴레이션을 조인하면 결과는 공집합이거나 아주 적은 수의 튜플만 얻게 되어 사용자가 원하는 결과를 얻을 수 없다. 그 이유는 동일한 좌표를 가지는 서로 다른 종류의 센서쌍이 존재할 확률이 매우 적기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 새로운 범위조인연산자를 제안한다. 이 범위조인연산자를 센서네트워크에 적용하면 좀 더 효율적인 데이터관리가 가능하고 데이터베이스에서 응용계층에 표준화된 인터페이스를 제공할 수 있다.

A novel technique for the fabrication of a glass micropipette-based thermal sensor was developed utilizing inexpensive thermocouple materials. Thermal fluctuation with a resolution of ${\pm}0.002$ K was measured using the fabricated thermal probe. The sensors comprise unleaded low-melting point solder alloy (Sn) as a core metal inside a borosilicate glass pipette coated with a thin film of Ni, creating a thermocouple junction at the tip. The sensor was calibrated using a thermally insulated calibration chamber, the temperature of which can be controlled with a precision of ${\pm}0.1$ K and the thermoelectric power (Seebeck coefficient) of the sensor was recorded from 8.46 to $8.86{\mu}V$/K. The sensor we have produced is both cost-effective and reliable for thermal conductivity measurements of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and biological temperature sensing at the micron level.
