This paper introduces the development of the caliper system for a geometry PIG (Pipeline Inspection Gauge). The objective of the caliper system is to detect and measure dents, wrinkles, and ovalities affect the pipe structural integrity. The developed caliper system consists of a finger arm, an anisotropic permanent magnet, a back yoke, pins, pinholes and a linear hall effect sensor. The angle displacement of the finger arm is measured by the change of the magnetic field in sensing module. Therefore the sensitivity of the caliper system mainly depends on the magnitude of the magnetic field inside the sensing module. In this research, the ring shaped anisotropic permanent magnet and linear hall effect sensors were used to produce and measure the magnetic field. The structure of the permanent magnet, the back yoke and pinhole positions were optimized that the magnitude of the magnetic field range between a high of 0.1020 Tesla and a low of zero by using three dimensional nonlinear finite element methods. A simulator was fabricated to prove the effectiveness of the developed caliper system and the computational scheme using the finite element method. The experimental results show that the developed caliper system is quite efficient for the geometry PIG with good performance.

A non-contact type magnetic signal monitoring equipment for automotive electric devices is proposed in this paper. There are many kinds of actuators in the car like solenoid, relay, motor, injector, etc which are operated by magnetic energy. It is difficult to find out whether the actuators operate well or not because the terminals of the actuators are combined to the connectors. In this paper a non-contact type magnetic signal monitoring equipment using Hall effect sensor is proposed to measure the magnetic signal of the actuators very easily to find out the actuators' operating status. The simulation and experimental results show that the developed equipment is very useful and has good performance.

기존의 EPB 시스템에서는 제동력을 측정하기 위하여 hall effect force 센서를 이용하고 있지만, 이 센서는 비싼 가격과, 구조상 장착의 어려움 등의 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 hall effect force 센서에 비해 저가이며, 기구적인 면에서 단순한 구조를 가지는 전류 센서만을 이용하여, 모터 유도 전류와 각가속도 정보를 획득하고, 이것을 이용하여 EPB 제동력을 추정하는 기법을 제안하고 실험을 통해 검증한다.

In this research, MFL technique has been studied for the inspection of storage tank floor. The reference specimens having 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% slot's are fabricated using the carbon steel plates of a 6mm and 10mm thick. Powerful permanent magnets and Hall effect sensors are used to this application. It is shown that our system is able to detect metal loss like a slot. Also, it is possible that slot diameter is measured using transverse type of Hall generator. It is demonstrated that MFL can not differentiate between the response from top side and bottom side slot. Flux leakage response from a bottom side indication is significantly lower in amplitude than that from an equivalent top side slot. It is essential to know this sensor lift-off distance because the MFL signal also changes considerably with the sensor lift-off distance.

Electric Power Steering(EPS) system is superior to conventional Hydraulic Power Steering(HPS) system in aspect of fuel economy and environmental concerns. The EPS system consists of torque sensor, electric motor, ECU(Electric Control Unit), gears and etc. Among the elements, the torque sensor is one of the core technologies of which output signal is used for main input of EPS controller. Usually, the torque sensor has used torsion bar to transform torsion angle into torque. The torsion angle of both ends of a torsion bar is measured by a contact variable resistor. In this paper, the sensor is accurately analyzed using 3D finite element method and its characteristics with respect to four different shapes of the stator teeth are compared. The four shapes are rectangular, triangular, trapezoidal and circular type.

This paper presents the error correction method of magnetic position sensor using recursive least square method (RLSM) with forgetting factor. Magnetic position sensor is proposed for linear position detection of the linear motor which has tooth shape stator, consists of permanent magnet, iron core and linear hall sensor, and generates sine and cosine waveforms according to the movement of the mover of the linear motor. From the output of magnetic position sensor, the position of the linear motor can be detected using arc-tan function. But the variation of the air gap between magnetic position sensor and the stator and the error in manufacturing process can cause the variation in offset, phase and amplitude of the generated waveforms when the linear motor moves. These variations in sine and cosine waveforms are changed according to the current linear motor position, and it is very difficult to compensate the errors using constant value. In this paper, the generated sine and cosine waveforms from the magnetic position sensor are compensated on-line using the RLSM with forgetting factor. And the speed observer is introduced to reduce the effect of uncompensated harmonic component. The approaches are verified by some simulations and experiments.

PbTe thin films of high quality were deposited on HF-treated Si(100) substrates at various substrate temperature by pulsed laser deposition technique. XRD patterns showed that PbTe layers were well-crystallized to a cubic phase with (h00) preferred orientation with the substrate temperature up to $300^{\circ}C$. PbTe films could not form at substrate temperature above $400^{\circ}C$ because of reevaporation of the Pb. According to AFM image, the surface of films was composed of small granular crystals and flat matrix. According to the increase of substrate temperature, the grain size at film surface becomes larger. By Hall-effect measurement, the carrier concentration and Hall mobility of n-type PbTe films grown by $T_{sub}=300^{\circ}C$ were $3.68{\times}10^{18}cm^{-3}$ and $148\;cm^2/Vs$, respectively.

During the rainy season, heavy downpours are always a source of concern for the world. Flooding and heavy rains can devastate communities, disrupt agriculture, and contribute to traffic accidents.. Weir and flow hall effect sensors are the conventional analytical methods for measuring flow rate; in this paper, we analyzed manhole flowrate statistics. The measurement of the flow rate of a notch/weir is a time-consuming task that necessitates continuous mathematical analysis. . We created three types of IoT sensors in this study: (HC-SR04 ultrasonic, YF-S201 magnetic, and HB100 radar), which take the sensor's real-time input signal and estimate the flow using a notch equation and a previously calibrated optimized coefficient of discharge. The proposed systems are cost-effective, but in terms of accuracy, we found that the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor is the best of the three systems
