A planar vibratory gyroscope using electrostatic actuation and electromagnetic detection is proposed. The gyroscope has large sensitivity and can be fabricated by using surface micrimachining, bulk micromachining and conventional machining technology. In this paper, the gyroscope and the electromagnetic detecting system equations are derived to determine the output characteristics for the planar vibratory gyroscope using electrostatic acturation and electromagnetic detection. The maximum output is obtained when the driving frequencyequals to the detecting frequency. The resonant frequencies of the resonator are determined by the beam stiffness, i.e. the material constants and spring dimensions. The dimensions of the beams are determined using the analytic vibration modelling. The expected resonant frequencies are 200Hz both and the sensitivity is 62mV/deg/sec with 4000 electronic circuit amplifying coefficient for an AC drive voltage of 3V bias voltage of 15V and DC field current of 50 mA.

A voltage controlled CMOS operational transconductance amplifier (OTA), whose transconductance is directly proportional to the DC bias voltage, has been designed for many electronic circuit applications. It consists of a differential pair and three ourrent mirrors. The SPICE simulation shows that the conversion sensitivity of the OTA is 41.817 \ulcornerho/V and the linearity error is less than 0.402% over a bias voltage range from -2. OV to 1. OV. Electrically tunalble filters based on voltage controlled impedances, which are realized with OTA's, also have been designed. The SPICE simulation shows that a second-order bandpass filter, whose center frequency is 23KHz at -1. OV, has the conversion sensitivity 6.6KHz/V and the linearity error less than 0.822% over a voltage range from -2.OV tp 1.OV, Tne OTA has been laid out with the 3\ulcorner n-well CMOS design rule adopted in ISRC (inter-university semiconductor research center). The chip size was about $0.756x0.945mm^2$.

This paper describes a rotation-type field mill to measure the electric field intensity caused by thunderclouds on the ground level. The field mill developed is consisted of two isolated electrode vanes, a grounded stator and a rotor. To develop a high sensitive field mill, the principles and design rules of a rotation-type field mill are studied. Also, two types of calibration system, such as a cylindrical guard electrodes and a parallel-plate electrodes, are proposed to determine the sensitivity and frequency bandwidth of the field mill. From the calibration experiment, the frequency bandwidth and the sensitivity of the field mill arc DC ∼ 200 [MHz] and 0.267 [mV/Vm], respectively. Therefore, it can measure the electric field intensity from 73[V/m] to 18.7[kV/m].

A note-book PC has become thinner in recent years. And optical disc drives are required to have high memory capacity. Therefore, the actuator of optical disc drives must be thinner and have disc tilt compensation function for high density memory. In this paper, the hybrid type actuator is investigated for 3-axis ultra-slim actuator. A 3-axis ultra-slim actuator is designed by using the modal analysis of the actuator and the electromagnetic analysis of magnetic circuit to achieve dynamic characteristics and magnetic flux density for high sensitivity, respectively. Also, magnetic force between tilt magnet and tilt yoke is investigated to find the influence on the DC sensitivity in the focus and track directions.

This study comprehensively reviewed four types of integrated-optic electric-field sensors based on titanium diffused lithium-niobate waveguides: symmetric and asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometers, 1×2 directional couplers, and Y-fed balanced-bridge Mach-Zehnder interferometers. First, we briefly explain the crystal properties and electro-optic effect of lithium niobate and the waveguide fabrication process. We theoretically analyzed the key parameters and operating principles of each sensor and antennas. We also describe and compare the design, simulation, implementation, and performance tests: dc and ac characteristics, frequency response, dynamic range, and sensitivity. The experimental results revealed that the sensitivity of the sensor based on the Y-fed balanced bridge Mach-Zehnder interferometer (YBB-MZI) was higher than that of the other types of sensors.

The present work aims to develop piezoresistive sensors of excellent piezoresistive response attributable to change in nanoscale structures of multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT) embedded in cement. MWNT was distributed in a cement matrix by means of polymer wrapping method in tandem with the ultrasonication process. DC conductivity of the prepared samples exhibited the electrical percolation behavior and therefore the dispersion method adopted in this study was deemed effective. The integrity of piezoresistive response of the sensors was assessed in terms of stability, the maximum electrical resistance change rate, and sensitivity. A composite sensor with MWNT 0.2 wt.% showed the lowest stability and sensitivity, while the maximum electrical resistance change rate exhibited by this sample was the highest (96 %) among others and even higher than those found in the literature. This observation was presumably attributed by the percolation threshold and the tunneling effect. As a result of the MWNT content (0.2 wt.%) of the sensor being near the percolation threshold (0.25 wt.%), MWNTs were close to each other to trigger tunneling in response of external loading. The sensor with MWNT 0.2 wt.% was able to maintain the repeatable sensing capability while sustaining a vehicular loading on road, demonstrating the feasibility in traffic flow sensing application.

In situ stress changes at interfaces of ultrathin magnetic films were measured by means of a non-contact optical fiber bundle displacement detector. A bending of the substrate due to stress of a deposited film was detected in cantilever geometry. The highest sensitivity of 134 mV/$\mu$m for the displacement detector was realized with a help of computer simulation. The detector was applied to in situ stress measurements of Co/Pt and Ni/Pd magnetic multilayer films prepared on the glass substrates by dc magnetron sputtering. The detector turned out to have a submonolayer sensitivity that enables to observe coherent-to-incoherent transition in these mismatched multilayers and even detect the stress changes within the monoatomic coverage. This highly sensitive detector paves new way to probe the stress relaxation at an interface in ultrathin films.

HVS based transform coding techniques for still images take the lowest spatial frequency and luminance contrast sensitivity as the most crucial factors in determining the image quality perceived by human eye. Only the frequency weighting has been main issue. The proposed Weighted Discrete Cosine Transform (WDCT) has the lowest frequency of about 4 [cyc/deg] in 8$\times$8 subblock with the contrast-weighted DC coefficient. The error criteria have been rederived to adapt the contrast weighting for performance evaluation. The proposed scheme has produced higher quality images compared to the unweighted and other schemes.
