A novel method to implement a birdcage-type receiving coil sensor for use in a magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) system has been demonstrated employing a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) fabrication technique. Unlike the conventional methods, the two-dimensional shape of the coil sensor is first implemented as a FPCB and then it is attached to the surface of a cylindrical supporting structure to implement the three-dimensional birdcage-type coil sensor. The proposed method is very effective to implement object-specific MRI coil sensors especially for small animal measurements in research and preclinical applications since the existing well-developed FPCB-based techniques can easily meet the requirements on accuracies and costs during coil implement process. The performances of the coil sensor verified through $^1H$ 1.5T MRI measurements for small animals and it showed excellent characteristics by providing a high spatial precision and a high signal-to-noise ratio.

We improved an efficiency of fiber-optic current transformer by using a metal-coated sensor coil. To reduce the linear birefringence, we used a length of spun fiber as sensor coil, and then used a flint glass fiber coil for comparison. To make the sensor coil in the reflection type, we used different reflection mirrors at the end of the sensor coil, such as a Faraday rotator mirror, a simple mirror, a metal-coated fiber end and a simple fiber end. From the experimental results, the linear error of current measurements were less than ${\sim}$ 0.2 % regardless of the mirror types. The metal-coated sensor was the most cost-effective considering the fabrication cost and the simple structure.

This paper introduces the multi-coil eddy current sensor and its characteristic in magnetic material gas turbine rotor. In the past, magnetic particle inspection method was used for qualitative defect evaluation in magnetic material gas turbine rotor. And the ultrasonic inspection method was used for quantitative defect evaluation. Nowadays, eddy current method is used in magnetic gas turbine rotor inspection due to advanced sensor design technology. We developed multi-coil eddy current sensor for the rotor dovetail inspection. At first, rotor stress is analyzed for the determination of sensor position and number. The sensor coils are designed to cover the stress concentration area of rotor dovetail. We select optimum frequency according to material standard penetration data and experiment results. The rotor mock-up and artificial defects were made for the signal detection and resolution analysis of multi-coil eddy current sensor. The results show that signal detection and resolution capabilities are enhanced in comparison to the commercialized sensor enough for the gas turbine rotor inspection. So, this developed multi-coil eddy current sensor substituted for commercialized one and it applied in real gas turbine rotor inspection.

Semiconductor piezoresistive type vibration sensor was fabricated by using semiconductor process and micromachining technology. To measure the micro electromagnetic force between coil and magnet, fabricated vibration sensor was used. Toapply micro electromagnetic force produced from the micro exciter, small-sized NdFeB permanent magnet was attached on the mass of the fabricated vibration sensor. The measured electromagnetic force are about 5~180dyne when the applied sinusoidal current of 1KHz in the range of 1.5~8mA. The measurement of micro electromagnetic forcewas performed by changing the distance between coil and magnet. Output characteristics of micro electromagnetic force according to the applied coil current were linear. Furthermore, output results were used to get the transfer constant that is important to decide the efficiency and the performance of the coil and magnet.

Eddy current sensor is representative instrument measuring gap to base metal and sensing trouble in base metal. The existing eddy current sensor works as measuring variance of sensor coil's inductance. But, sensor coil have phenomenon that not only inductance but also real resistance varies in real action. Conductivity and Permeability are main variable in sensor coil's varying impedance(inductance, real resistance). By searching relationship between conductivity-permeability and sensor coil's impedance, eddy current sensor gain advantage of elevation of accuracy, removal of alignment to each base metal, and continuous sensing to varying base metal.

In this research, it have developed a sensor that could diagnose inner deterioration of covered wires. With this sensor it observed results from simulation, and the attribute required for realization. For simulation it have used FLUX, it have considered all of geometric and electromagnetic information from coil and base metal that influences eddy current sensor's property in order to predict the final result. It assumed there is no mutual inductance in the coil with N number of turns, because equivalent current flows in coil that is continuously connected in eddy current sensor. It assumed circular coil loop draws a circle, always have self inductance, and they are connected in series and overlapped according number of turns (N) in coil, and bobbin configuration. Actual sensor was produced with consideration of inductance and number of turns (N). In conclusion, it were able to test the dependency through results from simulation, actual measurement, and modeling of simulation. It is considered that attributes of respective base metal and structure can be predicted by simulating in advance.

펄스와전류탐상에서 탐상 신호는 주로 센서코일에 유도되는 기전력의 시간에 따른 변화를 측정하여 사용되었는데, 최근에는 홀센서(Hall sensor)로 측정한 신호를 사용하는 경우도 많아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 펄스와전류탐상에서 나타나는 홀센서 신호를 수치적으로 모델링하여 예측하였다. 이를 위해 두께 측정을 위한 탐촉자를 설계하고 먼저 계단입력전류를 사용한 수치해석을 수행하여 홀센서를 사용하였을 경우의 신호를 예측하였다. 또한, 코일을 센서로 사용하였을 경우의 신호도 동시에 계산하였다. 수치모델링 결과로 예측된 홀센서 신호들은 실험 연구를 통해 보고된 신호들과 유사한 형태를 가지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 피검사체의 두께 변화에 따른 두 신호들의 특성을 분석하고 비교해 본 결과, 홀센서 신호에서는 코일센서 신호에 비해 두께 변화를 판별하기 위한 정보가 더 적게 제공된다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 펄스입력전류를 사용한 경우의 탐상 신호들도 계산해 본 결과, 두 신호 모두 사용된 펄스의 폭이 지난 시간에는 계단입력전류를 사용한 경우의 응답이 반대가 되어 감소하는 형태로 나타난다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Multiple fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have been proposed and demonstrated for gas-flow measurements in a flow channel, using the temperature-difference method. This sensor consists of two FBG temperature sensors and two coil heaters. Coil heaters are used to heat the FBGs. The flow rate of the gas can be obtained by monitoring the difference in the Bragg-wavelength shifts of the two FBGs, which has features that exclude the effect of temperature fluctuations. In this study, experiments are conducted to measure the wavelength shift based on the flow rate, and to evaluate the gas-flow rate in a gas tube. Experimental results show that the sensor has a linear characteristic over a flow-rate range from 0 to 25 ℓ/min. The measured sensitivity of the sensor is 3.2 pm/(ℓ/min) at a coil current of 120 mA.

Rogowski coil which detects magnetic flux on current changes. It is used for digital integration with watt-hour meter's current sensor, because, Rogowski coil has non-cored or non-magnetic core structure, so that, it cannot be saturated magnetically. This is a study for inventing accurate electric current sensors that have been applied on multi-layer ceramic substrate. We have confirmed its properties from each different layer's materials and pattern sizes by MWS 3D Electromagnetic field analysis program. And, after sensor manufacturing on multi-layer ceramic substrate, we confirmed its sensing quality is reliable as accurate electric current sensor for watt-hour meter.
