In this paper an optical voltage sensor and an optical current sensor which can be used for the measurement of impulse voltage and current are implemented. BSO single crystal is utilized as a voltage sensor(Pockels effect cell). An rare earth doped YIG is used as a current sensor(Faraday effect cell). A new signal processing technique is adopted not only to avoid the influences o external optical fiber pertubations of transmitting optical fiber but also to improves the frequency response characteristics of the fiber-optic voltage and current sensors. Experimental results show that optical voltage sensor has maximum 2.5% error within the voltage range from 0V to 500V. and optical current sensor has maximum 2.5% error within the current range and that of optical current sensor is about 1.5% within temperature range from -2$0^{\circ}C$ to 6$0^{\circ}C$. The proposed optical sensors have good frequency response characteristics within the frequency range from DC to 10MHz.

This paper proposes a novel current control method of three-phase PWM rectifiers without phase current sensors. The features of this method are to reconstruct phase currents by using switching pattern of space vector modulation and to estimate phase currents by a predictive state observer for practical applications. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed system is nearly the same as that of sensor-based system.

A differential current-to-time interval converter is presented for current mode sensors. It consists of a ramp voltage generator, a current mode sensor, a reference current source, two current-tunable Schmitt triggers, a one-shot multivibrator, and two logic gates. The design principle is to apply a ramp voltage to each input of the two current-tunable Schmitt triggers whose threshold voltages are proportional to the drain current values of the current mode sensors. A proposed circuit converts a current change in the ISFET biosensor into its equivalent pulse width change. A prototype circuit built using TSMC 0.18 nm CMOS process exhibit a conversion sensitivity amounting to $726.9{\mu}s/pH$ over pH variation range of 2-12 and a linearity error less than ${\pm}0.05%$.

In recent years, much progress has been made in the automation of welding coped with a variety of highly flexible sensors. Among these sensors, only the eddy current sensor can detect the center location of the butt joint whose gap distance is zero. Thus, in this study the eddy current sensor is used to develop a robust and useful joint tracking system. The developed system is tested to qualify the performance of the system and seam tracking algorithm is proposed and two simulation are executed to show the performance of the proposed tracking algorithm.

With increasing demands for reducing cost of maintenance which can detect machine fault automatically; low cost and intelligent functionality sensors are required. Rapid developments, in semiconductor, computing, and communication have led to a new generation of sensor called "smart" sensors with functionality and intelligence. The purpose of this research is comparison of machine fault classification between general analyzer signals and smart sensor signals. Three types of sensors are used in induction motors faults diagnosis, which are vibration, current and flux. Classification results are satisfied.

Current sensors that use a Hall element and Hall IC to measure the magnetic fields generated in steel silicon core gaps do not distinguish between direct and alternating currents. Thus, they are primarily used to measure direct current (DC) in industrial equipment. Although such sensors can measure the DC when installed in expensive equipment, ascertaining problems becomes difficult if the equipment is set up in an unexposed space. The control box is only opened during scheduled maintenance or when anomalies occur. Therefore, in this paper, a method is proposed for facilitating the safety management and maintenance of equipment when necessary, instead of waiting for anomalies or scheduled maintenance. A Bluetooth 4.0 low-energy current-sensor system based on near-field communication is used, which compensates for the nonlinearity of the current-sensor output signal using a piecewise linear model. The sensor is controlled using its generic attribute profile. Sensor nodes and cell phones used to check the signals obtained from the sensor at 50-A input currents showed an accuracy of ±1%, exhibiting linearity in all communications within the range of 0 to 50 A, with a stable output voltage for each communication segment.

Regular high-strength carbon steel is currently the most commonly used pipe material for onshore and offshore pipelines. The corrosion of offshore pipelines is a major problem as they age. The collapse of these structures as a result of corrosion may have a heavy cost is lives and assets. Therefore, their monitoring and screening is a high priority for maintenance, which may ensure the integrity and safety of a structure. Monitoring risers and subsea pipelines effectively can be accomplished using eddy current inspection to detect the average remaining wall thickness of corroded low-alloy carbon steel pipelines through corrosion scaling, paint, coating, and concrete. A test specimen for simulating the offshore pipeline is prepared as a standard specimen for an analysis and experiment with differential bobbin eddy current sensors. Using encircling coils, the signals for the defect in the simulated specimen are analyzed and evaluated in experiments. Differential bobbin eddy current sensors can diagnose the defects in a specimen, and experiments have been carried out using the developed bobbin eddy current sensor. As a result, the most optimum coil parameters were selected for designing differential bobbin eddy current sensors.

최근 MEMS 센서는 기계상태감시에 있어서 전력소모, 크기, 비용, 이동성, 응용 등에 있어서 각광을 받고 있다. 특히, MEMS 센서는 스마트센서와 통합가능하고, 대량생산이 가능하여 가격이 저렴하다는 장점이 있다. 이와 관련한 기계상태감시를 위한 많은 실험적 연구가 수행되고 있다. 이 논문은 MEMS 센서들을 3 가지 인공지능 분류기 성능평가를 위한 비교연구에 대해 설명하고 있다. 회전기계에 MEMS 가속도와 전류센서들을 부착하여 데이터를 취득했고, 특징추출과 파라미터 최적화를 위해 Cross validation 기법을 사용하였다. MEMS 센서를 이용한 결함분류기 적용은 적합하다고 판단된다.

In this paper, a novel bridgeless interleaved power factor correction circuit with single current sensor is proposed. The proposed control strategy requires only one current sensor for the interleaved bridgeless PFC. By sampling the output current, all the boost indictor currents can be calculated and used to control the input current according to the input voltage. The reduced number of current sensors and associated feedback circuits helps reduce the cost of system. The problem caused by the unequal current gain between current sensors inherently does not exist in the proposed topology. Thus, current sharing between converters can be achieved more accurately and the high frequency distortion is decreased. In addition, the proposed technique can be applied to the other kinds of interleaved PFC topologies. Performance of the proposed control strategy is verified by the experimental results with 6.6kW bridgeless interleaved PFC circuit.
