Piezoresistive type contact force sensor array is fabricated by (111) Silicon bulk micromachining for continuous blood pressure monitoring. Length and width of the unit sensor structure is $200{\mu}m$ and $190{\mu}m$, respectively. The gap between sensing elements is only $10{\mu}m$. To achieve wafer level packaging, the sensor structure is capped by PDMS soft cap using wafer molding and bonding process with $10{\mu}m$ alignment precision. The resistance change over contact force was measured to verify the feasibility of the proposed sensor scheme. The maximum measurement range and resolution is 900 mm Hg and 0.57 mm Hg, respectively.

The spatial size and variation of Arctic sea ice play an important role in Earth's climate system. These are affected by conditions in the polar atmosphere and Arctic sea temperatures. The Arctic sea ice concentration is calculated from brightness temperature data derived from the Defense Meteorological Satellite program (DMSP) F13 Special Sensor Microwave/Imagers (SSMI) and the DMSP F17 Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) sensors. Many previous studies point to significant reductions in sea ice and their causes. We investigated the variability of Arctic sea ice using the daily sea ice concentration data from passive microwave observations to identify the sea ice melting regions near the Arctic polar ice cap. We discovered the abnormal melting of the Arctic sea ice near the North Pole during the summer and the winter. This phenomenon is hard to explain only surface air temperature or solar heating as suggested by recent studies. We propose a hypothesis explaining this phenomenon. The heat from the deep sea in Arctic Ocean ridges and/or the hydrothermal vents might be contributing to the melting of Arctic sea ice. This hypothesis could be verified by the observation of warm water column structure below the melting or thinning arctic sea ice through the project such as Coriolis dataset for reanalysis (CORA).

The high vacuum hermetic sealing technique ensures excellent performance of MEMS resonators. For the high vacuum hermetic sealing, the customization of anodic bonding equipment was conducted for the glass/Si/glass triple-stack anodic bonding process. Figure 1 presents the schematic of the MEMS resonator with triple-stack high-vacuum anodic bonding. The anodic bonding process for vacuum sealing was performed with the chamber pressure lower than 5 × 10^-6 mbar, the piston pressure of 5 kN, and the applied voltage was 1 kV. The process temperature during anodic bonding was 400 ℃. To maintain the vacuum condition of the glass cavity, a getter material, such as a titanium thin film, was deposited. The getter materials was active at the 400 ℃ during the anodic bonding process. To read out the electrical signals from the Si resonator, a vertical feed-through was applied by using through glass via (TGV) which is formed by sandblasting technique of cap glass wafer. The aluminum electrodes was conformally deposited on the via-hole structure of cap glass. The TGV process provides reliable electrical interconnection between Si resonator and aluminum electrodes on the cap glass without leakage or electrical disconnection through the TGV. The fabricated MEMS resonator with proposed vacuum packaging using three-layer anodic bonding process has resonance frequency and quality factor of about 16 kHz and more than 40,000, respectively.

본 연구에서는 적외선 센서를 이용한 페트병 분리수거 시스템을 구현하였다. 제안된 시스템은 인식부, 제어부, 알람부 및 구동부로 구성된다. 인식부는 페트병을 감지해 페트병과 센서와의 거리를 측정하고 값을 추출하고 추출된 값을 표준 범위와 비교하여 값이 표준 범위를 벗어날 경우에는 제어값을 제어부에 전송하고, 특정범위를 넘어간 경우 라벨 혹은 뚜껑의 유무결과를 제어부에 전송한다. 제어부에서는 센서부로부터 전송받은 결과값에 따라서 수거함의 입구를 개방하거나 알람부를 제어하는 기능을 수행한다. 제안된 시스템 구현을 위하여 인식부는 적외선 센서로 구현하였고, 제어부는 C언어 기반의 아두이노 스케치 프로그램으로 제작하였다. 또한, 인식부와 제어부는 아날로그 신호를 이용하여 통신할 수 있게 하였다. 제안된 시스템은 정해진 알고리즘에 따라 페트병의 라벨과 뚜껑의 유무를 정확히 판단한 후 라벨 혹은 뚜껑이 부착되었을 때 수거함의 입구를 막는다. 국민 1인당 배출되는 폐기물의 양이 높고 재활용이 되지 않아 쓰레기의 대다수를 소각시키고 있는 상황에서 본 연구에서 제안한 시스템을 통하여 페트병의 재활용률을 높이기를 기대한다.

The RapidEye satellite sensor has various spectral wavelength bands, and it can capture large areas with high temporal resolution. Therefore, it affords advantages in generating various types of thematic maps, including land cover maps. In this study, we applied a supervised classification scheme to generate high-resolution land cover maps using RapidEye images. To improve the classification accuracy, object-based classification was performed by adding brightness, yellowness, and greenness bands by Tasseled Cap Transformation (TCT) and Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) bands. It was experimentally confirmed that the classification results obtained by adding TCT and NDWI bands as input data showed high classification accuracy compared with the land cover map generated using the original RapidEye images.

An oxygen sensor installed in vehicle exhaust systems enables to measure the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas, in which the measured data are collected and analyzed in ECU(Engine Control Unit). The oxygen sensor is exposed to the high speed exhaust gas at high temperature circumstance, so that protection caps are required not only to protect the susceptible measuring part, but also to provide the real time measurement without time delay. In this study, a new oxygen sensor with one protection cap was proposed, and the CFD analysis was carried out in order to compare the performance characteristics, such as flow speed and ratio of AOA(Age of Air), for the conventional and new oxygen sensor. The numerical results of CFD analysis provided the flow speed of 1.34m/s and the ratio of AOA of 3.43. The similar features obtained from the numerical results showed that the new oxygen sensor guarantees the same performance characteristics of the conventional ones.

저속, 저전력, 저가의 특징을 갖는 IEEE 802.15.4 standard는 무선 센서 네트워크 환경에서 효율적이다. IEEE 802.15.4 표준에서 사용하는 다양한 토폴로지 중에서도 많은 노드들이 참여하는 클러스터-트리 토폴로지는 싱크 노드 주변에 트래픽이 집중되어 전송 지연과 에너지 소모 증가 및 데이터 손실을 초래하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 효율적인 데이터 전송을 위해 패킷간의 충돌을 최소화하고 제한된 에너지를 효율적으로 사용하기 위해 액티브 구간을 동적으로 할당하는 MRS-DCA알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 알고리즘은 IEEE 802.15.4 standard의 액티브구간에 RP(Reservation Period)를 할당하여 사용한다. 또한, EWMA를 이용한 할당 알고리즘으로 트래픽을 예측하고 이것을 기반으로 RP와 CAP를 동적으로 할당함으로써 안정적인 데이터 전송을 보장한다. 제안하는 MRS-DCA알고리즘의 성능 비교를 위하여 IEEE 802.15.4, DCA scheme과 비교한 결과, 액티브 구간의 단축으로 전력 소모가 적어지고 충돌 회피율의 상승으로 높은 전송률을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper presents application of a new tactile slippage sensation algorithm in robot hand control system. The optical three-axis tactile sensor is a type of tactile sensor capable of defining normal and shear forces simultaneously. The tactile sensor is mounted on fingertip of robotic hand. Shear force distribution is used to define slippage sensation in the robot hand system. Based on tactile slippage analysis, a new control algorithm was proposed. To improve performance during object handling motions, analysis of slippage direction is conducted. The control algorithm is classified into two phases: grasp-move-release and grasp-twist motions. Detailed explanations of the control algorithm based on the existing robot arm control system are presented. The experiment is conducted using a bottle cap, and the results reveal good performance of the proposed control algorithm to accomplish the proposed object handling motions.
