그래핀(graphene)은 육각형의 탄소원자 한층으로 이루어진 이차원 구조체로써 우수한 물리적, 전기적 특성으로 인해 다양한 분야에서 응요을 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히, 그래핀과 금속 나노입자의 복합구조는 수소 저장체, 가스센서, 연료전지, 화학 촉매등의 다양한 분야에서 응용이 가능하다. 현재까지 그래핀/금속나노입자 복합구조의 제작 방법에는 열증발(thermal evaporation), 전기도금법(electrodeposition), 표면 기능화(surface functionalization)를 이용한 방법이 보고되었다. 하지만 이러한 방법은 긴 공정시간이 요구되며, 나노입자의 크기 분포가 넓다는 단점을 지닌다. 본 연구에서는 화학기상증착법을 통해 합성된 그래핀이 전사된 SiO2 (300nm)/Si 기판에 염화기가 포함된 백금 화합물 분산용액을 스핀코팅(spin-coating)하고 MeV 전자빔을 조사하여 Pt/grapheme 복합구조를 형성하였다. 이 방법은 균일한 크기 분포의 나노입자의 형성이 가능하며, 간단하고, 대면적 공정이 가능하며, 다른 방법에 비해 그래핀의 결함형성이 적다는 장점을 지닌다. Pt/grapheme 의 기하학적 구조를 주사전자현미경(scanning electron microscopy)와 투과전자현미경(transimission)을 통해 분석하였고, Pt와 graphene의 일함수(workfunction)의 차이에 의해 야기되는 전하이동에 의한 도핑(doping)현상을 라만 분광기(Raman spectroscopy)와 X-선 광전자 분광기(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy)를 통해 분석하였다.

This paper designs and implements a smart garden system using probabilistic filter algorithm using SLAM that can be used in apartment or veranda. To do this, we used Arduino and environtal sensors, which are open hardware controllers, and designed to control and observe automatic water supply, lighting, and growth monitoring with three wireless systems (Bluetooth, Ethernet, WiFi). This system has been developed to make it possible to use it in an indoor space such as an apartment, rather than a large-scale cultivation system such as a conventional plant factory which has already been widely used. The developed system collects environmental data by using soil sensor, illuminance sensor, humidity sensor and temperature sensor as well as control through smartphone app, analyzes the collected data, and controls water pump, LED lamp, air ventilation fan and so on. As a wireless remote control method, we implemented Bluetooth, Ethernet and WiFi. Finally, it is designed for users to enable remote control and monitoring when the user is not in the house.

We propose a new method for recognizing the activities of daily living(ADL) based on the state-dependent motion analysis using 3-axial accelerometers and a glove type RFID reader. Two accelerometers are used for the classification of 5 body states based on the decision tree. Classification of the instrumental activities is performed based on the hand interaction with an object ID using an accelerometer and a RFID reader. Object-dependent hand movements are classified into 5 categories in advance and final decision combines the body state and the instrumental activities. Experiment shows that the suggested hierarchical motion analysis provides accuracy rate of over 90% for all 20 ADLs.

In electric motor coaches. the rolling stocks move by the adhesive effort between rail and driving wheel. Generally, the adhesive effort is defined by the function of both the weight of electric motor coach and the adhesive effort between rails and driving wheel. The characteristics of adhesive effort is strongly affected by the conditions between rails and driving wheel. When the adhesive effort decreases suddenly, the electric motor coach has slip phenomena. This paper proposes a re-adhesion control based on disturbance observer and sensor-less vector control. The numerical simulation and experimental results point out that the proposed readhesion control system has the desired driving wheel torque response for the tested bogie system of electric coach. Based on this estimated adhesive effort, the re-adhesion control is performed to obtain the maximum transfer of the tractive effort.

In this paper, we have developed sensor composited heater of 2-pin, and unified the fuel filter. In order to evaluate the performance of the 2-pin sensor composited fuel heater, we have make of the low temperature fluidity system. The one measure and analysis the electrical and oil flow quantity characteristics at an input and out port of 2-pin sensor composited fuel heater. Especially, in the characteristics verification elements of the proposed goods, we use the test chamber for the temperature variable and oil flow quantity test, and designed an embedded system for interfacing an engine. By interfacing both user and the system, it support an experimental and date gathering function in 2-pin sensor composited fuel filter. And then test the temperature, oil pressure, electrical characteristics and oil flow quantity in variable status from - 30 ℃ to + 80 ℃. These can help us to determine the quality and performance of elementary goods.

Recently, IT-centered convergence between different industries has undergone rapid expansion, accompanied by major advances in u-IT development and digital convergence. Notably, in the automotive-IT convergence sector, automotive sensors and electronic devices interact closely and intelligently with each other, thereby increasing driver safety and convenience and creating the optimal driving environment. This has led to the generation of value-added for the future-oriented automotive industry. Sensing technologies - which are used to monitor traffic situations and transmit correct information (or warnings) on the road traffic situation to car drivers, and to provide accurate information to road traffic controllers - represent both the birth of high-safety, intelligent automotive technologies and the key to automotive manufacturing. In view of these developments, this paper examines the characteristics and structure of the automotive sensor industry, and outlines the policy implications for the automotive sensor industry with regard to the development of the automotive-IT convergence industry.

A bridge resistance deviation-to-frequency (BRD-to-F) converter is presented for interfacing resistive sensor bridges. It consists of a linear operational transconductance amplifier (LOTA), a current-controlled oscillator (CCO). The prototype converter was simulated using commercially available discrete components. The result shows that the converter has a conversion sensitivity amounting to 16.90 kHz/${\Omega}$ and a linearity error less than ${\pm}$0.03 %.

Recently, many researchers have studied on RFID with the rapid development of RFID technologies. RFID adapts to many applications. A lot of readers may be deployed in some applications. The incorrect deployment of RFID readers occurs reader-to-reader interferences in many applications using RFID technologies. It causes the significant degradation of the RFID recognition rate. Therefore, it is very important to appropriately deploy the RFID readers in terms of costs and system performance. In this paper, we propose a novel RFID sensor network design system with the minimal RFID readers to cover whole regions when an arbitrary blueprint is given.

In this study, the sensitivity of an active pixel sensor (APS) was adjusted by employing a gate/body-tied (GBT) p-channel metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (PMOSFET)-type photodetector with a transfer gate. A GBT PMOSFET-type photodetector can amplify the photocurrent generated by light. Consequently, APSs that incorporate GBT PMOSFET-type photodetectors are more sensitive than those APSs that are based on p-n junctions. In this study, a transfer gate was added to the conventional GBT PMOSFET-type photodetector. Such a photodetector can adjust the sensitivity of the APS by controlling the amount of charge transmitted from the drain to the floating diffusion node according to the voltage of the transfer gate. The results obtained from conducted simulations and measurements corroborate that, the sensitivity of an APS, which incorporates a GBT PMOSFET-type photodetector with a built-in transfer gate, can be adjusted according to the voltage of the transfer gate. Furthermore, the chip was fabricated by employing the standard 0.35 ㎛ complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, and the variable sensitivity of the APS was thereby experimentally verified.

In this paper, a novel motor control method is proposed to improve the performance of sensorless drive of BLDC motors. In the terminal voltage sensing method, which is a great portion of sensorless control, a precise rotor position cannot be obtained when excessive input is applied to the drive during synchronous operation mode. Especially in the transient state, the response characteristic decreases. To cope with this problem, the unknown input (back-EMF) is modelled as the additional state of system in this paper. Taking into account the disturbance adopted by the back-EMF, the observer can be obtained by the augmented system equation. An algorithm to detect the back-EMF of the BLDC motor using the state observer is constructed. As a result, the novel sensorless drive of BLDC motors that can strictly estimate rotor position and speed is proposed.
