In this paper, we present the finger tip tactile sensor which can detect contact normal force as well as slip. The developed sensor is made of two different materials, such as polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF) that is known as piezoelectric polymer and pressure variable resistor ink. In order to detect slip to surface of object, a PVDF strip is arranged along the normal direction in the robot finger tip and the thumb tip. The surface electrode of the PVDF strip is fabricated using silk-screening technique with silver paste. Also a thin flexible force sensor is fabricated in the form of a matrix using pressure variable resistor ink in order to sense the static force. The developed tactile sensor is physically flexible and it can be deformed three-dimensionally to any shape so that it can be placed on anywhere on the curved surface. In addition, we developed a tactile sensing system by miniaturizing the charge amplifier, in order to amplify the small signal from the sensor, and the fast signal processing unit. The sensor system is evaluated experimentally and its effectiveness is validated.

The correlation between sensor output and corrosion rate of reinforcing steel was evaluated by laboratory electrochemical tests in saturated $Ca(OH)_2$ with 3.5 wt.% NaCl and confirmed in concrete environment. In this paper, two types of electrochemical probes were developed: galvanic cells containing of steel/copper and steel/stainless steel couples. Potentiodynamic test, weight loss measurement, monitoring of open-circuit potential, linear polarization resistance (LPR) measurement and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to evaluate the corrosion behavior of steel bar embedded in concrete. Also, galvanic current measurements were conducted to obtain the charge of sensor embedded in concrete. In this study, steel/copper and steel/stainless steel sensors showed a good correlation in simulated concrete solution between sensor output and corrosion rate of steel bar. However, there was no linear relationship between steel/stainless steel sensor output and corrosion rate of steel bar in concrete environment due to the low galvanic current output. Thus, steel/copper sensor is a reliable corrosion monitoring sensor system which can detect corrosion rate of reinforcing steel in concrete structures.

지역 모니터링에 사용되는 센서 네트워크는 광범위한 지역에 설치되므로, 시스템의 유지 관리가 문제가 되어 왔다. 이 연구에서는 로봇을 이용하여 센서 네트워크에 에너지를 공급하는 시스템을 제시하고, 센서 네트워크의 에너지 소모율, 로봇의 에너지 전달률, 로봇의 이동 거리 등을 변수로 하여 센서 네트워크의 유지 조건을 규명하였다. 수식을 이용한 수치 검증과 로봇 충전 시뮬레이션 검증을 통해, 도출된 시스템 유지 조건이 타당함을 보이고, 실제 충전 실험을 통해 로봇을 이용한 센서 네트워크 유지 관리 방법의 실현 가능성을 검증하였다.

본 논문은 진동형 각속도 검출 센서로부터 각속도 신호를 검출하는 애널로그 신호처리 ASIC의 구현에 관한 것이다. 각속도 검출 센서의 출력은 구조적으로 콘덴서의 용량변화로 나타나므로 이를 검출하기 위하여 전하 증폭기를 이용하였으며, 센서의 구동에 필요한 자체발진회로는 각속도 검출 센서의 공진 특성을 이용한 정현파 발진회로로 구현하였다. 특히 센서의 제조 공정으로 인한 특성 변화나 온도 변화와 같은 외부 요인에 의한 자체발진특성의 열화를 방지하기 위하여 자동이득조절회로를 사용하였다. 진동형 각속도 검출 센서의 동작특성에 의하여 진폭변조 형태로 나타나는 각속도 신호를 검출하기 위하여 동기검파회로를 사용하였다. 동기검파회로에서는 반송파의 크기에 따라 검파신호의 크기가 달라지는 현상을 방지하기 위하여 스위칭 방식의 곱셈회로를 사용하였다. 설계된 칩은 0.5㎛ CMOS 공정으로 구현하였으며, 1.2㎜×1㎜의 칩 크기로 제작되었다. 실험 결과 3V의 전원전압에서 3.6mA의 전류를 소비하였으며, 칩과 각속도 센서를 결합한 정상동작상태에서 직류에서 50㎐까지 잡음 스펙트럼 밀도는 -95 dBrms/√㎐에서 -100 dBrms/√㎐ 사이에 존재하였다.

The electric properties of a single crystal bismuth telluride doped with a small concentration of Erbium, $Bi_{z-x}Er_xTe_3$ with x = 0.002, are investigated as a function of temperature. The resistivity was obtained by using the van der Pauw method. The measured electrical resistivity is 78 ${\mu}{\Omega}cm$ at 4.2 K. The charge density of $Bi_{z-x}Er_xTe_3$ is found to be $2{\times}10^{19}/cm^3$ at 4.2 K. It turns out that $Bi_{z-x}Er_xTe_3$ is a p-type semiconductor. It is discussed that the high mobility and less density support that $Bi_{z-x}Er_xTe_3$ is a potential sensor with high energy resolution. Comparison with an established material (i.e. Au:Er alloy) is also discussed.

Recently, transition-metal-based hydroxide materials have attracted significant attention in various electrochemical applications owing to their low cost, high stability, and versatility in composition and morphology. Among these applications, transition-metal-based hydroxides have exhibited significant potential in supercapacitors owing to their multiple redox states that can considerably enhance the supercapacitance performance. In this study, nanostructured Ni-Mn double hydroxide is directly grown on a conductive substrate using an electrodeposition method. Ni-Mn double hydroxide exhibits excellent electrochemical charge-storage properties in a 1 M KOH electrolyte, such as a specific capacitance of 1364 Fg-1 at a current density of 1 mAcm-2 and a capacitance retention of 94% over 3000 charge-discharge cycles at a current density of 10 mAcm-2. The present work demonstrates a scalable, time-saving, and cost-effective approach for the preparation of Ni-Mn double hydroxide with potential application in high-charge-storage kinetics, which can also be extended for other transition-metal-based double hydroxides.

A temperature sensor with a binary output was implemented using switched-capacitor circuits in a $0.35-{\mu}m$ CMOS(com-plementary metal-oxide semiconductor) process. The measured temperature exhibited good agreement with the oven temperature after calibration. The measured power consumption was 5.61 mW, slightly lower than the simulated power consumption of 6.63 mW.

This paper discusses about the implementation of a simulator for the Navigation Control System(NCS) of bimodal tram. To operate a NCS of bimodal tram, values of all sorts of sensors installed in bimodal tram should be transmitted to the NCS, and the NCS calculates the measured sensor values to determine traveling direction, traveling speed, current position etc. The implementation of the simulator consists of a device applying driver's input transaction function & virtual sensor program and a sub-rack device that controls communication with the NCS to evaluate navigation control function. The virtual sensor program can create routes (map), traveling profiles & seat information et cetera in order to transmit to the NCS, analyzes driver's input values and NCS output values to create virtual sensor values. The sub-rack device takes charge of communication with the NCS using CAN-OPEN, CAN-J1939, MVP protocols. This paper discusses about the implementation of the simulator and afterwards analyzes and evaluates the NCS simulation results.

In x-ray imaging system, twokinds of noises are involved. First, the charge generated from the radiation interaction with the detector during exposure is modeled by Poisson process. Second, the signal is then added by readout electronics noise, which is modeled by Gaussian distribution. In this paper, we applied Wiener filter and Wavelet to remove noise from medical X-ray image, the result shows that wavelet yield better segmentation results than the wiener filter.

A compact model of a depletion-mode silicon-nanowire (Si-NW) pH sensor is proposed. This drain current model is obtained from the Pao-Sah integral and the continuous charge-based model, which is derived by applying the parabolic potential approximation to the Poisson's equation in the cylindrical coordinate system. The threshold-voltage shift in the drain-current model is obtained by solving the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation for the electrolyte. The simulation results obtained from the proposed drain-current model for the Si-NW field-effect transistor (SiNWFET) agree well with those of the three-dimensional (3D) device simulation, and those from the Si-NW pH sensor model also agree with the experimental data.
