This paper describes a flexible wireless telemetering system using a mesoscale cantilever sensor, which is microfabricated with a patterned thin Ni-Cu foil on a resin substrate. The dynamic validation of the sensor has been conducted in a flow. The wireless telemetry is used to obtain data regarding the oscillating flows. It is shown that the sensor is nearly independent of the environmental temperature and is suitable for application to primary healthcare and diagnostic devices. It can be easily integrated with other modules for measuring physiological parameters, e.g., blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and heart rate, to increase the convenience and reliability of diagnosis. The precision and reliability of the sensor are also dependent on the design of the analog front-end and noise reduction techniques. It is shown that the present system's minimum interval between packet transmissions is ~16 ms.

센서 네트워크는 크기가 작고 제한된 전력을 가진 센서노드들이 무작위로 다량 배치됨에 따라 안전하고 자유로운 정보 이용을 위하여 보다 유동적인 관리 환경이 필요하다. 특히 종래의 중앙 집중적인 관리 방법은 동적인 네트워크 변화가 민감한 센서 네트워크에 적용하기에 그 기능에서부터 큰 차이를 보이기 때문에 보다 신속하고 정확한 센서 노드의 관리를 위한 모바일 관리 도구의 구축을 제안한다. 모바일 관리 도구를 이용한 분산적인 센서 네트워크 관리는 유연한 센서 노드들의 관리를 가능하게 하고 이는 곧 센서 노드들이 수집하는 정보와 전달하는 정보의 신뢰도를 증가 시킬 수 있다.

Filiform hairs that respond to movements of the surrounding medium are the mechanoreceptors commonly found in arthropods and vertebrates. The hairs function as a sensory system for perceiving information produced by prey, predators, or conspecifics. A mathematical model is proposed, and the parametric analyses for the response of artificial filiform hair are conducted to design and predict the performance of a microfabricated device. The results for the Cytop hair, one of the most popular polymer optical fibers (POFs), show that the fundamental mode has a dominant effect on the hair behavior in an oscillating medium flow. The dynamic behavior of sensory hair is also dependent on the physical dimensions such as length and diameter. It is found that the artificial hair with a high elastic modulus does not show a resonance in the biologically important frequency range.

For a wireless sensor network in general, efficient routing decision is important because wireless connections are not stable, sensitive to external interference, and topology changes dynamically. RPL standard of IETF is not flexible to various environmental changes and causes packet loss and delay due to topological imbalance. Sending packets through multipath can partially remedy this problem. The multipath routing, however, can introduce significant delay overhead by allocating unnecessary timeslots. This paper proposes an RPL using multipath adaptively according to network conditions. We show by simulations that the proposed algorithm is more efficient than the basic RPL and the multipath RPL.
