This paper introduces an indoor sensor fusion wireless communication device which provides the Location Based Service (LBS) using fire prevention facility. The proposed system can provide information in real time by optimizing the hardware of Wi-Fi technology. The proposed system can be applied to a fire prevention facility (i.e., emergency exit) and provide information such as escape way, emergency exit location, and accident alarm to smart phone users, dedicated terminal holders, or other related organizations including guardians, which makes them respond instantly with lifesaving, emergency mobilization, etc. Also, the proposed system can be used as a composite fire detection sensor node with additional fire and motion detect sensors.

Fatigue cracks in structural components are the most common cause of structural failure when exposed to fatigue loading. In this respect, fatigue crack detection and structural health assessment are very important. Currently, various smart materials are used for detecting fatigue crack and measurement of SIFs(Stress Intensity Factors). So, this paper presented a measurement of SIFs using MFC(Micro Fiber Composite) sensor which is the one of the smart material. MFC sensor is more flexible, durable and reliable than other smart materials. The SIFs of Mode I(K I) as well as Mode II(K II) based on the piezoelectric constitutive law and fracture mechanics are calculated. In this study, the SIF values measured by MFC sensors are compared with the theoretical results.

무선 센서 네트워크(WSN: Wireless Sensor Network) 환경에서 보안성을 확보하기 위하여, 센서 노드간에 전송된 메시지를 암호화하고 인증하는 것이 중요하다. 암호화와 인증을 위해 사용되는 키는 통신 노드 사이에 합의되어야 한다. 그러나 자원의 제약성 때문에, 일반적인 네트워크에서 많이 사용되는 Diffie-Hellman이나 공개키 기반 키 협의 방법은 WSN 환경에 적합하지 않다. 많은 노드에 비밀키를 사전에 정적으로 분배하는 것은 대용량의 메모리와 계산 능력을 요구하고, 네트워크 환경이 커짐에 따라 이들의 요구량이 급증하기 때문이다. 따라서 이러한 사전 키 분배 문제를 해결하기 위하여, 본 논문은 계층적인 사전 키 분배 방법을 제시한다. 제안된 방법은 기존 방법론과 비교하여 센서 노드간의 공유키가 존재 할 가능성을 증가시켜, 통신 채널을 쉽게 형성할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 외부 공격자의 위협에 대비하여 q-composite 이론을 적용하여, 보안성을 강화시켰다.

Optimizing the performance of a composite sensor array is necessary when the number of sensors to choose from is large. In this paper, we present a chemical sensors array optimization method using Wilks Lamda algorithm applicable a device to detect low concentration of alcohol from driver's exhale breath for interlocking engine ignition preventing drink-driving. More than 20 chemical sensors fabricated different synthetic stuffs and heater temperatures by collaborators were nominated, 5 sensors were selected for optimal sensors array using the method, and alcohol samples were well discriminated from the interference gases inside the vehicle. It has been confirmed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA).

A Surface Acoustic Wave Gas sensor for NO, CO, H$_2$gas detection was designed fabricated, and tested. A delay line device was designed to composite a single mode SAW oscillator which enables to measure a SAW velocity. To reduce the effect of temperature and humidity, dual delay line oscillator circuit was used. And final output was measured by digital frequency counter. NO, CO, H$_2$gas were detected by WO$_3$thin film deposited on the path of the Delay Line.

This paper is concerned with the positioning control of a flexible arm system using H$_{\infty}$ control theory with optimum sensor location. Firstly, by virtue of the orthogonality of the flexible modes of the flexible arm a reduced order model of the tributed parameter system(DPS) representing the arm has formulated. The dynamical coupling between the flexible arm and DC motor has been considered to formulate an motor composite model. In order to achieve precise positioning with vibration attenuation, sensors have been optimally located. Finally, a robust H$_{\infty}$ controller was designed and the performance of the positioning system has been analyzed.d.

The on-line cure monitoring of fiber reinforced thermosetting resin matrix composite material was performed for the better quality and productivity during manufacturing. Since the dissipation factor measured by dielectrometry method is dependent on the degree of cure and temperature of resin, in this study, a new method to obtain the degree of cure during on-line cure monitoring for glass/polyester composites was developed by employing a combination function of the temperature and the dissipation factor. Two sensor signals from a K-type thermocouple and an interdigitated dielectric sensor were processed during curing process under various cure cycles. The DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) data was also used for the reference of degree of cure.

General source location method that use an arrival time differences among sensors is restricted to the composite material and the complex-shaped material. In this study, a bundle-type acoustic sensor composed of 6 pinducers was utilized to determine wave propagation direction and then to estimate source location of the unidirectional GFRP. For the purpose of the study, slowness curve for the material was obtained and made an assumption that the incident waves on pinducers are propagated as a plane wave. According to the results, measured propagation directions of the wave were coincide with theoretical background, however, it was a hassle to determine the source location exactly. But, it is expected that bundle-type sensor gives more accurate results for zone location than generally used acoustic sensors.

A superhydrophobic mesh is a unique structure that blocks water, while allowing gases, sound waves, and energy to pass through the holes in the mesh. This mesh is used in various devices, such as gas- and energy-permeable waterproof membranes for underwater sensors and electronic devices. However, it is difficult to fabricate micro- and nano-structures on three-dimensional surfaces, such as the cylindrical surface of a wire mesh. In this research, we successfully produced a superhydrophobic water-repellent mesh with a high contact angle (> $150^{\circ}$) for nanofibrous structures. Conducting polymer (CP) composite nanofibers were evenly coated on a stainless steel mesh surface, to create a superhydrophobic mesh with a pore size of $100{\mu}m$. The nanofiber structure could be controlled by the deposition time. As the deposition time increased, a high-density, hierarchical nanofiber structure was deposited on the mesh. The mesh surface was then coated with Teflon, to reduce the surface energy. The fabricated mesh had a static water contact angle of $163^{\circ}$, and a water-pressure resistance of 1.92 kPa.

In this paper, we developed the care system for older people living alone using the RFID technologies and the living informations. The care system store living informations, extracted through a unconstrained detection method by the RFID tags and readers, into a monitering server. The unconstrained detection method improved a weakness of existing systems that detected a living informations through an infrared sensor, ultrasonic sensor, camera, consumed quantity of the tap water or gas. The result of this study will playa very important role, as a part of a composite older-welfare services. Also, in the future, accumulated living informations will be allowed for a health data of older peoples.
