바이오센싱 디바이스는 본질적으로 생체인식소재와 신호전달장치로 구성된 집적화, 소형화된 분석시스템으로 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 고민감도, 선택도, 단순성, 다성분 측정능력, 즉시측정능력 뿐 아니라 매우 작고, 고가의 장치가 필요없는 장점이 있다. 바이오센싱 디바이스의 개발을 위해서는 두 가지의 핵심요소기술이 필요하다. 이것은 생체인식소재모듈의 제작 (리셉터 개발 및 고정화기법)과 신호발생기술을 포함한 신호전달장치의 개발이다. 효소, DNA/RNA, 단백질, 세포 등의 다양한 생체인식소재가 바이오센싱 디바이스 제작을 위해 이용되어져 왔고, 신호전달시스템도 전기화학적, 광학적, mass sensitive transducer를 중심으로 매우 활발히 연구되어져 왔다. 본 고에서는 최근 개발된 바이오센싱디바이스에 대해 다루고, 향후 전망에 대해 논하고자 한다.

The percentage of moisture content in rice before harvest is crucial to reduce the economic loss in terms of yield, quality and drying cost. This paper discusses the application of artificial neural network (ANN) in developing a reliable prediction model using the low altitude fixed-wing unmanned air vehicle (UAV) based reflectance value of green, red, and NIR and statistical moisture content data. A comparison between the actual statistical data and the predicted data was performed to evaluate the performance of the model. The correlation coefficient (R) is 0.862 and the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) is 0.914% indicate a very good accuracy of the model to predict the moisture content in rice before harvest. The model predicted values are matched well with the measured values($R^2=0.743$, and Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency = 0.730). The model results are very promising and show the reliable potential to predict moisture content with the error of prediction less than 7%. This model might be potentially helpful for the rice production system in the field of precision agriculture (PA).

As biosensors are widely used in the medical field, flexible devices compatible with live animals have aroused great interest. Especially, significant research has been carried out to develop implantable or skin-attachable devices for real-time bio-signal sensing. From the device point of view, various biosensor types such as field-effect transistors (FETs) and multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) have been reported as diverse sensing strategies. In particular, the flexible FETs and MEAs allow semiconductor engineering to expand its application, which had been impossible with stiff devices and materials. This review summarizes the state-of-the-art research on flexible FET and MEA biosensors focusing on their materials, structures, sensing targets, and methods.

A bio-optical model was developed specific for turbid and shallow waters. Special studies were carried out to estimate absorption and scattering properties as well as backscattering probability of suspended matter. The inversion of bio-optical model allows for direct retrieval of turbidity and chlorophyll- a from the visible-near infrared (VNIR) range sensor. Time-series satellite imagery from ASTER AM-1 sensor, were used to monitor the Laguna de Bay water quality condition. Spatial distribution of temperature for the lake was extracted from the thermal infrared (TIR) sensor. Corresponding field surveys were conducted to parameterize the bio -optical model. In-situ measurements include suspended particle and chlorophyll-a concentrations profiles from nephelometric devices and processing of water samples. Hyperspectral measurements were used to validate results of the bio -optical model and satellite- based estimation. This study provides a theoretical basis and a practical illustration of applying space- based measurements on an operational basis.

To address the need for new intelligent sensing, this paper introduces nano sensors made of carbon nanotube (CNT) composites and presents their preliminary experiments. Having smart material properties such as piezoresistivity, chemical and bio selectivity, the nano composite can be used as smart electrodes of the nano sensors. The nano composite sensor can detect structural deterioration, chemical contamination and bio signal by means of its impedance measurement (resistance and capacitance). For a structural application, the change of impedance shows specific patterns depending on the structural deterioration and this characteristic is available for an in-situ multi-functional sensor, which can simultaneously detect multi symptoms of the structure. This study is anticipated to develop a new nano sensor detecting multiple symptoms in structural, chemical and bio applications with simple electric circuits.

This paper describes a design of a tactile sensor, which can measure three components force and temperature due to thermal conductive. The bio-mimetic tactile sensor, alternative to human's finger, is comprised of four micro force sensors and four thermal sensors, and its size being 10mm$\times$10mm. Each micro force sensor has a square membrane, and its force range is 0.1N - 5N in the three-axis directions. On the other hand, the thermal sensor for temperature measurement has a heater and four temperature sensor elements. The thermal sensor is designed to keep the temperature. $36.5^{\circ}C$, constant, like human skin, and measure the temperature $0^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$. The MEMS technology is applied to fabricate the sensing element of the tactile sensor.

Polymeric thin-film assemblies whose bulk electrical conductivity and mechanical performance have been enhanced by single-walled carbon nanotubes are proposed for measuring strain and corrosion activity in metallic structural systems. Similar to the dermatological system found in animals, the proposed self-sensing thin-film assembly supports spatial strain and pH sensing via localized changes in electrical conductivity. Specifically, electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is used to create detailed mappings of film conductivity over its complete surface area using electrical measurements taken at the film boundary. While EIT is a powerful means of mapping the sensing skin's spatial response, it requires a data acquisition system capable of taking electrical impedance measurements on a large number of electrodes. A low-cost wireless impedance analyzer is proposed to fully automate EIT data acquisition. The key attribute of the device is a flexible sinusoidal waveform generator capable of generating regulated current signals with frequencies from near-DC to 20 MHz. Furthermore, a multiplexed sensing interface offers 32 addressable channels from which voltage measurements can be made. A wireless interface is included to eliminate the cumbersome wiring often required for data acquisition in a structure. The functionality of the wireless impedance analyzer is illustrated on an experimental setup with the system used for automated acquisition of electrical impedance measurements taken on the boundary of a bio-inspired sensing skin recently proposed for structural health monitoring.

본 연구에서는 상용화된 MP3-playing 의류와 생체신호 센싱 의류 제품에 따라 소비자들의 수용모델에 있어서 차이가 있는지를 분석하였다. 제품종류에 따른 구성변수의 차이를 분석하기 위하여 SPSS 15.0 package를 사용하여 t-test를 하였고, 구조방정식 모형에 있어서 제품종류에 따라 각 경로의 차이를 밝히기 위하여 AMOS 5.0을 이용한 다중집단 분석을 실시하였다. 총 557부의 온라인 설문에 대한 유효 표본을 분석한 결과, 소비자들은 지각된 사용용이성은 MP3-playing 의류를 높게 인식하였으나 지각된 유용성, 지각된 가치, 태도, 수용의도는 모두 생체신호 센싱 의류를 MP3-playing 의류에 비해 상대적으로 높게 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 상용화된 제품의 판매가격에 대한 소비자들의 인식을 밝히고자 투입한 지각된 가치는 소비자들의 태도나 수용의도를 형성하는데 중요한 매개역할을 하는 것으로 입증되었다. 제품의 종류에 따른 특성상 소비자들의 수용모델에 있어서 경로의 차이도 발생했다. 생체신호 센싱 의류의 경우 MP3-playing 의류에서는 지지되었던 '지각된 유용성$\rightarrow$태도' 경로가 기각되었고 '지각된 가치$\rightarrow$태도'의 경로가 상대적으로 높게 나타났으며 MP3-playing 의류보다 지각된 가치의 매개 역할이 더 높게 분석되었다. 이와 같은 결과를 고찰해 볼 때, 스마트 의류는 이제 상용화 초기 단계에 있으므로 소비자들은 구매의사결정과정 중 필요의 인식이나 정보의 탐색단계에 있을 것이므로 이에 필요한 효과적인 상용화 전략의 수립이 필요하다고 할 수 있다.

In this paper, Medium Access Control(MAC) protocol designed for Wireless Body area Sensor Network(Bio-MAC) is proposed, Because in WBSN, the number of node is limited and each node has different characteristics. Also, reliability in transmitting vital data sensed at each node and periodic transmission should be considered so that general MAC protocol cannot satisfy such requirements of biomedical sensors in WBSN. Bio-MAC aims at optimal MAC protocol in WBSN. For this, Bio-MAC used Pattern -SuperFrame, which modified IEE E 802.15.4-based SuperFrame structurely. Bio-MAC based on TDMA uses Medium Access-priority and Pattern eXchange -Beacon method for dynamic slot allocation by considering critical sensing data or power consumption level of sensor no de etc. Also, because of the least delay time. Bio-MAC is suitable in the periodic transmission of vital signal data. The simulation results demonstrate that a efficient performance in WBSN can be achieved through the proposed Bio-MAC.
