With the development of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, numerous people worldwide connect with various electronic devices via Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs). Considering that HMIs are a new concept of dynamic interactions, wearable electronics have been highlighted owing to their lightweight, flexibility, stretchability, and attachability. In particular, wearable strain sensors have been applied to a multitude of practical applications (e.g., fitness and healthcare) by conformally attaching such devices to the human skin. However, the stretchable elastomer in a wearable sensor has an intrinsic stretching limitation; therefore, structural advances of wearable sensors are required to develop practical applications of wearable sensors. In this study, we demonstrated a 3-dimensional (3D), porous, and piezoelectric strain sensor for sensing body movements. More specifically, the device was fabricated by mixing polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polyvinylidene fluoride nanoparticles (PVDF NPs) as the matrix and piezoelectric materials of the strain sensor. The porous structure of the strain sensor was formed by a sugar cube-based 3D template. Additionally, mixing methods of PVDF piezoelectric NPs were optimized to enhance the device sensitivity. Finally, it is verified that the developed strain sensor could be directly attached onto the finger joint to sense its movements.

In the IoT(internet of things) where various devices can be connected, failure of essential devices may lead to a lot of economic and life losses. For reducing the losses, fault diagnosis techniques have been considered an essential part of IoT. In this paper, the method based on a graph neural network is proposed for determining fault and classifying types by extracting features from vibration data of systems. For training of the deep learning model, fault dataset are used as input data obtained from the CWRU(case western reserve university). To validate the classification performance of the proposed model, a conventional CNN(convolutional neural networks)-based fault classification model is compared with the proposed model. From the simulation results, it was confirmed that the classification performance of the proposed model outweighed the conventional model by up to 5% in the unevenly distributed data. The classification runtime can be improved by lightweight the proposed model in future works.

As the structures of the high performance electronic equipments and devices recently become more complex, the electromagnetic interference (EMI) and compatibility (EMC) have been very essential for commercial and military purposes. Thus, sensitive electrical devices and densely packed systems need to be protected from electromagnetic wave. In this research, glass fabric/epoxy composites containing conductive multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) and carbon fiber/epoxy composites as electrical shielding materials were fabricated and electrical properties of the composites were measured. The concerning frequency band is from 300 MHz to 1 GHz. The performances of composite shielding enclosures were predicted using electromagnetic wave 3-D simulation tool, CST Microwave Studio. The shielding enclosure made of carbon fiber/epoxy composites were fabricated and the shielding effectiveness (SE) was measured in the anechoic chamber.

Recently, service based on internet is inter-connected and integrated with a variety of connection. This kind of internet of things consist of heterogenous devices such as sensor node, devices and end-to end equipment which used in conventional protocols and services. The representative system is healthcare system. From healthcare appliance used by IoT, patient and doctor can utilize healthcare information with safety and high speed management. It is very convenient management to operate mobility. But it induced security and vulnerability issues because it has small memory capacity, low power supply and low computing power. This made impossible to implement security algorithm with embedded engine based on hardware. Nowdays, we can't realize conventional standard algorithm due to these kinds of reasons. From the critical issues, it occurred security and vulnerability issues. Therefore, we analysed and compared with conventional method and proposed techniques. Finally, we evaluated security issues and requirement for end-to-end point healthcare system based on internet of things.

The electromagnetic pulse(EMP) is a general term for high-output electromagnetic waves, and is classified into EMP generated from nuclear weapons, non-nuclear EMP, and EMP generated by natural phenomena. Electromagnetic pulses are means that can cause fatal damage to all electronic devices with electromagnetic elements, such as communication devices, mobile phones, computers, TVs, and means of transportation. In this study, the electromagnetic pulse(EMP) shielding effectiveness evaluation of paints according to the type and amount of carbon material was conducted to develop EMP shielding inorganic paint using carbon materials. In order to analyze the improvement of compatibility and dispersibility between materials, experiments were conducted two times with about 27 types of mixture proportions, and the electromagnetic pulse shielding effectiveness was evaluated by the electrical resistance measurement method. As a result of applying the EMP shielding paint developed through this study to shielding concrete, it was confirmed that the shielding performance was improved from about 25 dB to a maximum of 40 dB.

The application of reinforcement design to ensure the structural safety of electronics in small satellites is limited by the spatial constraints of the satellite structure during launch vibrations. Additionally, a reliable evaluation approach is needed for mounting highly integrated devices that are susceptible to fatigue failure. Although the Steinberg fatigue failure theory has been used to assess the structural integrity of electronic devices, recent studies have highlighted its theoretical limitations. In this paper, we propose a structural methodology based on the critical strain theory to design the digital control unit (DCU) of the X-band SAR payload component for the small SAR technology experimental project (S-STEP), a small satellite constellation. To validate the design, we conducted modal and random analyses using simplified modeling techniques. Based on our methodology, we ultimately demonstrated the structural safety of the electronics through analysis results, safety margin derivation, and functional tests conducted both before and after the launch test.

Smart City, a key application area of the AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things), provides various services in safety, security, and healthcare sectors through location tracking and location-based services. an IPS (Indoor Positioning System) is required to implement location-based services, and wireless communication technologies such as WiFi, UWB (Ultra-wideband), and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) are being applied. BLE, which enables data transmission and reception with low power consumption, can be applied to various IoT devices such as sensors and beacons at a low cost, making it one of the most suitable wireless communication technologies for indoor positioning. BLE utilizes the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) to estimate the distance, but due to the influence of multipath fading, which causes variations in signal strength, it results in an error of several meters. In this paper, we conducted research on a path loss model that can be applied to BLE IPS for proximity services, and confirmed that optimizing the free space propagation loss coefficient can reduce the distance error between the Tx and Rx devices.

Electronic products utilizing flexible devices experience harsh mechanical deformations in real-use environments. As a result, researches on the mechanical reliability of these flexible devices have attracted considerable interest among researchers. This study employed previous bending strain models and finite element analysis to predict the maximum bending strain of metal films deposited on flexible substrates. Bending experiments were simulated using finite element analysis with variations in the material and thickness of the thin films, and the substrate thickness. The results were compared with the strains predicted by existing models. The distribution of strain on the surface of film was observed, and the error rate of the existing model was analyzed during bending. Additionally, a modified model was proposed, providing mathematical constants for each case.
