A new torque measuring apparatus adopting the basic principle of a capacitive type sensor is proposed in this article. Two plate electrodes are working as a capacitive sensor, whose capacitance varies as torque is applied. One end of each plate is connected to the torque carrying shaft. Output characteristics of the torque sensor were theoretically analyzed and its validity was investigated through experiment. Calculations and calibration experiments show that the output is nonlinear, that is, the sensitivity is very high at low torque but decreases as torque increases. The sensitivity of the proposed system is about 100 times roughly higher than that of a conventional 4-strain gauge type torque sensor.

분동식압력계는 정밀한 압력 측정의 기준 장비로 널리 사용되고 있다. 그것은 분동압력계가 견고하고 정확하며 이동이 간편하고 압력의 정의를 물리적으로 구현할 수 있기 때문이다. 기본적으로 분동식압력계는 분동과 피스톤/실린더 장치로 구성되며 실린더 안에 직경이 꼭 맞는 피스톤이 수직으로 삽입된 구조를 갖고 있다. 측정하려는 압력은 피스톤 아래에 작용하여 윗방향 힘을 발생시키고 피스톤 위에 얹혀 있는 분동에 의해 발생하는 아랫방향 힘과 평형을 이루게 된다. 이때 피스톤 자체의 하중은 항상 작용하므로 분동식압력계는 보통 10 kPa이상의 압력 범위에서 주로 사용된다. 기존의 방식은 피스톤 아래의 높은 압력을 기준으로 사용하지만 본 방식은 피스톤 주위의 낮은 압력을 기준압력으로 사용하여 보다 더 낮은 압력의 측정이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 이를 효율적으로 구현한 새로운 장치를 소개하고 실제로 1.33 kPa, 13.3 kPa 두 측정범위를 갖는 정밀한 저진공 게이지(MKS, CDG)를 교정, 평가한 결과에 대해서 기술하였다.

Capacitance Diaphragm Gauge(CDG)를 전달표준기로 사용하여 한국과 영국의 저진 공표준의 국제비교를 수행한 결과 양국 표준기에서 교정한 CDG의 압력비의 차이는 0.05% 이었다. 또한 두 개의 Spinning Rotor Gauge(SRG)를 이용하여 한국과 일본이 고진공표준의 국제비교를 수행한 결과 양국 표준기에서 교정한 SRG의 accommodation coefficient($sigma$)의 차이가 0.4% 이내이었다. CDG와 SRG를 이용한 한국과 영국의 저진공표준기 및 한국과 일 본의 고진공표준기의 국제비교 결과 CDG 및 SRG 자체의 고유오차범위 이내에서 결과가 일치함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Proper seat design is critical to the safety, comfort, and ergonomics of automotive driver's seats. To ensure effective seat design, quantitative methods should be used to evaluate the characteristics of automotive seats. This paper presents a system that is capable of simultaneously monitoring body pressure distribution and surface deformation in a textile material. In this study, a textile-based capacitive sensor was used to detect the body pressure distribution in an automotive seat. In addition, a strain gauge sensor was used to detect the degree of curvature deformation due to high-pressure points. The textile-based capacitive sensor was fabricated from the conductive fabric and a polyurethane insulator with a high signal-to-noise ratio. The strain gauge sensor was attached on the guiding film to maximize the effect of its deformation due to bending. Ten pressure sensors were placed symmetrically in the hip area and six strain gauge sensors were distributed on both sides of the seat cushion. A readout circuit monitored the absolute and relative values from the sensors in realtime, and the results were displayed as a color map. Moreover, we verified the proposed system for quantifying the body pressure and fabric deformation by studying 18 participants who performed three predefined postures. The proposed system showed desirable results and is expected to improve seat safety and comfort when applied to the design of various seat types. Moreover, the proposed system will provide analytical criteria in the design and durability testing of automotive seats.

The present study suggests the application of a depth camera for wave height field measurement, focusing on the calibration procedure and test setup. Azure Kinect system is used to measure the water surface elevation, with a field of view of 800 mm × 800 mm and repetition rate of 30 Hz. In the optimal optical setup, the spatial resolution of the field of view is 288 × 320 pixels. To detect the water surface by the depth camera, tracer particles that float on the water and reflects infrared is added. The calibration consists of wave height scaling and correction of the barrel distortion. A polynomial regression model of image correction is established using machine learning. The measurement results by the depth camera are compared with capacitance type wave height gauge measurement, to show good agreement.

정적법을 이용하여 새로운 중진공 국가표준기를 개발하였다. 이 장치의 성능평가를 위해 측정범위가 각각 133pa과 1,333pa인 두 개의 용량혈 진공게이지를 전달표준기로 사용하여 초음파간섭 수은주압력계와 중진공 표준을 상호비교하였다. Error normalized (En) 값으로 분석한 결과 교정압력 $3pa\;\sim\;100pa$에서 두 표준기는 합성불확도 범위 내에서 잘 일치하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In recent years, as the demands of VBNS and VDSL increase, the development of kernel parts of optical communication such as PLC(Planar Light Circuit), Coupler, and WDM elements increases. The alignment and the attachment technology are very important in the fabrication of optical elements. In this Paper, the optical alignment characteristic of multi-axis ultra precision stage is studied. The alignment algorithms are studied for applying to the ultra precision multi-axis stage. The alignment algorithm is comprised of field search and peak search algorithms. The contour of optical power signals can be obtained by field search and the precise coordinate can be found out by peak search. Three kinds of alignments, such as 1 ch. input vs. 1 ch. output optical stack, 1 ch. input vs. 8 ch. output PLC stacks, and ferrule vs. ferrule, are performed for investigating the alignment characteristics.

The optical element was usually used in optical devices and optical transfer devices, but it has been recently used in communication, computer and medical equipment. With the development of very high speed optical-communication, the development of the kernel parts of optical communication has also increased. Presently, the alignment of the optical element is time consuming, and an effective alignment algorithm has not yet to be developed. In this paper, the alignment automation of the optical element is studied. The ultra precision stage is applied to an optical element alignment to improve the accuracy of the alignment. The automation program of the optical element alignment is developed by LabVIEW programming to save the alignment time. The alignment algorithms of the optical element consist of field search and peak search algorithms.

We suggest a CNT-based gas sensor for breath alcohol measurement. The sensor was composed of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) thin film on flexible PES (polyethersulfone) substrate, and the SWCNTs thin film was formed by multiple spray-coating with SWCNTs solution which was well-dispersed, highly controlled and functionalized in ethanol solvent. In this work, three types of SWCNTs thin films were deposited with changes in the number of spray-coatings to 20, 40 and 60 times in order to compare electrical response properties of the SWCNTs thin films. from the fabricated sensors, conductance and capacitance responses were measured and discussed. Alcohol gas sensors have been commercialized widely as gauge for breath alcohol measurement which is applicable to checking whether car drivers are drinking-driving or not. Our alcohol gas sensors showed good sensitivity and linearity even at room temperature.
