본 논문은 air cavity가 삽입된 중공 층상복합체 맨드릴형 광-음향센서의 감도특성에 관한 것이다. 유한요소법으로 air cavity의 두께, 포밍(foaming)층의 두께 및 맨드릴의 내경/외경비 등의 형상변수에 따른 광-음향센서의 감도특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 두꺼운 air cavity 및 얇은 포밍층이 설치되고, 상대적으로 높은 내경/외경 비를 갖는 맨드릴을 사용하는 것이 음향감도의 향상을 위하여 바람직하다. Air cavity를 삽입한 중공 층상복합체 맨드릴을 사용할 경우, 음향감도는 air cavity가 없는 중공 층상복합체 맨드릴형 센서에 비해 약 0.8dB 정도 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

A surface micromachined piezoresistive pressure sensor with a novel internal substrate vacuum cavity was developed. The proposed internal substrate vacuum cavity is formed by selectively etching the silicon substrate under the sensing diaphragm. For the proposed cavity, a new fabrication process including a cavity side-wall formation, dry isotropic cavity etching, and cavity vacuum sealing was developed that is fully CMOS-compatible, low in cost, and reliable. The sensitivity of the fabricated pressure sensors is 2.80 mV/V/bar and 3.46 mV/V/bar for a rectangular and circular diaphragm, respectively, and the linearity is 0.39% and 0.16% for these two diaphragms. The temperature coefficient of the resistances of the polysilicon piezoresistor is 0.003% to 0.005% per degree of Celsius according to the sensor design. The temperature coefficient of the offset voltage at 1 atm is 0.0019 mV and 0.0051 mV per degree of Celsius for a rectangular and circular diaphragm, respectively. The measurement results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed pressure sensor as a highly sensitive circuit-integrated pressure sensor.

In this paper, we propose a novel sensor system for measuring the arterial pulse in an oral cavity. In order to measure pulse wave in oral cavity, the proposed system is designed with reflection type arterial wave sensor, not by using transmission type arterial pulse wave sensor. Driving circuit through pulse current is designed for solving self-heating problem of LED. The effectiveness of the proposed sensor system is compared with pulse wave between pulse wave of oral cavity and other body parts as well as with characteristic measurements. The experiment shows that the proposed sensor system is adaptive to capturing consecutive and meaningful biometric signals through the variation of pulse wave changes in oral cavity when exercising. The study result expects to design and develop mobile sensors which could be adapted to healthcare devices.

This paper is a study of the water sensor using a coaxial cavity resonator. This water sensor uses the resonant frequency variation of the coaxial cavity resonator when there is a water drop of the used coaxial cavity resonator. And we made resonant frequencies by controlling the input voltage of the oscillator which will be mainly resonated in the coaxial cavity resonator. First, we made the coaxial cavity resonator by simulating the resonator structure with the proposed size and we expect the resonant frequency from the simulation and then we decide the VCO from the result. Second, we made the water drop detecting sensor circuit and measured the water sensor. We decided the size of the resonator as inner conductor 5mm, outer conductor 14mm, the height of resonator 9.5mm, and the height of the glass 6mm from the simulated result. The simulated resonant frequencies are 3.09GHz and we made the VCO frequency ranges from 2.56GHz to 3.2GHz. The measured resonant frequency is 2.97GHz and the return loss is under -8. 4 dB at the center frequency. When the water is dropped on the glass of the resonator, the voltage has changed from 690mV to 145mV. It shows the proposed water sensor can detect the water by the resonant frequency variation of the resonator.

본 논문에서는 다이폴 형태인 기존의 부분방전 센서의 특성을 개선하고자 센서 부분을 사다리꼴 형태로 변형시킴으로써 기존의 부분방전(PD: Partial Discharge) 센서의 단점인 협대역 특성을 개선하였다. 또한 외부부착 센서용으로 사용함에 따라 외부로 부터의 전자파 신호를 원천적으로 차단시킬 수 있는 구조인 캐버티(Cavity) 구조를 적용함으로써 저자세와 설치의 편리성을 갖는 구조적인 장점을 살리는 부분방전 센서를 제안하고자 한다. 실험 결과 중심주파수 2.45GHz에서 약 70.5%의 광대역(1.59~3.32GHz) 특성이 있음을 보여, 광대역 특성을 확인할 수 있었다.

The flashing reduces the part quality and the productivity of the molding process. We developed a contact pressure sensor to detect the flashing immediately. The performance of the sensor was analyzed in a simple 2D simulation. The sensor was applied to an automotive bumper mold with cavity pressure sensors. It showed sensitive output signal for the mold response by the cavity pressure change. It was confirmed that the flashing at the gate area occurred in the filling stage by the pressure increase due to growth of the melt flow length. The sensor output was correlated with the cavity pressure sensor output.

A photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguide created on silicon-on-insulator is designed to act as a refractive-index-sensing device at midinfrared wavelengths around 4 ㎛. To realize high sensitivity, effort is made to engineer the structural parameters to obtain strong modal confinement, which can enhance the interaction between the resonance modes and the analyzed sample. By adjusting some parameters, including the shape of the cavity, the width of the coupling cavity, and the size of the surrounding dielectric columns, a high-sensitivity refractive-index sensor based on the optimized photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguide is proposed, and a sensitivity of approximately 2620 nm/RIU obtained. When an analyte is measured in the range of 1.0-1.4, the sensor can always maintain a high sensitivity of greater than 2400 nm/RIU. This work demonstrates the viability of high-sensitivity photonic crystal waveguide devices in the midinfrared band.

In this study, a novel sensor system for measuring the temperature inside an oral cavity is proposed. With this aim, a small size of thermistor was used for resolving the cavity's temperature with the resolution of $0.1^{\circ}C$. To evaluate effectiveness of our sensor system, the temperature and its output voltage characteristic, and the specifications of response are investigated. It turned out to be that our sensor system has a linear property in terms of temperature variations for a healthy subject's body temperature range and has a good response time within 3 seconds. Also, in order to investigate the medical application, our sensor system is sought to measure the real temperature variations of a subject's oral cavity and ark shell especially for 'before' and 'after' exercise mode.

Cavity pressure is a factor of what is occurring inside the mold and is used as one of the process parameters that control the overall injection molding cycle. The insight of cavity pressure is able to predict part quality and optimum process condition. In this paper, it is adapted ejector pin sensor to measure the cavity pressure and investigates the flow balance and the cavity pressure according to different runner thickness for adjusting the flow balance. Flow balance is very important to have not the poor results such as flash and warpage in the family mold. This paper predicted flow balance and cavity pressure using CAE analysis tool and compared with the test results. The results of analysis and test have a good agreement with the cavity pressure profile and flow pattern of the test.

It is well known that the family-mold has an advantage to reduce the cost for production and mold. However, defects are frequently occurred by over packing the smaller volume cavity during molding, especially whorl the family-mold has a volumetric difference between two cavities. In this study, we confirmed the cavity-filling imbalance by the temperature and the pressure sensors, and developed a variable-runner system for the cavity-filling balance. We carried out experiments fur balancing the cavity filling in the family-mold with the variable-runner system, and confirmed a balanced cavity-filing through analyzing the temperature and pressure change in each cavity as the cross-sectional area of the runner changed. We also examined the influence of the injection-speed to the balancing-capability of the variable-runner system in the experiment.
