At present, Metal Oxide gas Sensors (MOXs) are widely used in gas detection because of its advantages, including high sensitivity and low cost. However, MOX presents well-known problems, including lack of selectivity and environment effect, which has motivated studies on different measurement strategies and signal-processing algorithms. In this paper, we present an artificial neural network (ANN) that models an MOX sensor (TGS822) used in a dynamic environment. This model takes into account dependence in relative humidity and in gas nature. Using MATLAB interface in the design phase and optimization, the proposed model is implemented as a component in an electronic simulator library and accurately expressed the nonlinear character of the response and that its dependence on temperature and relative humidity were higher than gas nature.

The mechanical and durability characteristics of concrete structures depend on the construction environment, material conditions, design conditions, and temperature and humidity environment after casting. However, wired communicati-on sensors which are mainly used in the field have many limitations in their usability and monitoring. In this study, all temperature and humidity data measured from embedded sensors are monitored via a wireless sensor network. Based on the measured temperature data, the predicted compressive strength of the concrete was compared with the actual compressive strength. As a result, The error between predicted strength and experimental strength has decreased over time.

Prediction of compressive strength of concrete by Maturity Method is applied in construction site. However, due to the use of wired type high-priced equipment, economic efficiency and workability are falling. In this study, a newly developed concrete embedded wireless sensor is used to perform a mock-up test. Next, the concrete compressive strength of the Maturity Method is predicted using Saul and Plowman's function as measured temperature data. The predicted concrete strength at the beginning of the age was the actual strength and stiffness, but the error rate was less than 1% at 28th day.

Liquid crystal polymer (LCP) is a thermoplastic polymer with superior mechanical and thermal properties. In addition, its characteristics include very low water absorption rate and possibility to apply bonding process under low temperature. In this study, LCP is utilized as a packaging material for a microelectronic system (MEMS) based safety device with suggestion of a low temperature packaging process. Highly sensitive and stable capacitive type humidity sensor is fabricated to investigate hermeticity of the packaged MEMS device.

In this paper, we design a pet location tracking and remote monitoring system that uses ultrasonic, temperature, humidity and illumination sensors to study behavioral patterns and habits. Using ultrasonic waves to calculate distances, a WSN(Wireless Sensor Network) was constructed to transmit data at pet's location, such as temperature, humidity and illumination, to a sink mote. Data received by the system are stored in the database in real time to trace pet's location. Interference among transmitting motes was eliminated by sequentially transmitting RF beacons using sink mote's beacon as the reference signal. Experiments were performed with the laboratory prototype of a pet animal monitoring system implemented for this study. The system analyzes locations of a pet and displays movement patterns, areas of movement, temperature, humidity and illumination using a GUI (graphical user interface).

In this paper, research was conducted to prevent various safety accidents that may occur from infant vehicles carrying children and to use infant vehicles easier. In order to prevent the infant vehicle from driving without protection, a brake function is mounted on the infant vehicle wheels using a pressure sensor and a sub motor, and a pressure sensor and an LCD are used to determine whether a seat belt is fastened to prevent the infant from falling from the infant vehicle. In addition, it is designed to turn on the warning light when exceeding a certain temperature and humidity using LCD and LED so that infants can be in a pleasant environment when using a baby vehicle.

The formation properties and oxidation mechanism of electrochemically oxidized porous silicon(OPS) films have been studied. To examine the humidity-sensitive properties of OPS films, surface-type and bulk-type humidity sensors were fabricated. The oxidized thickness of porous silicon layer(PSL) increases with the charge supplied during electrochemical oxidation and current density. The humidity sensor shows high sensitivity at high relative humidity in low temperature. The sensitivity and linearity can be improved by increasing a porosity of PSL.

Humidity sensing cheracterisrics of vacuum deposited plasma poly merized $YbPc_2$ films were evaluated. In both films, humidity caused an increase of pro-ton conduction. Polymerised film shows a threshold fo humidity increase and its sensitivity diminishes more than $38^{\circ}C$ of relative humidity. Furthermore, for the polymerized film, two min. of resssponse time and 1 min. of recovery time are also obtained. The sensitivity between 10% and 85% of relative hum-idities is found to be one hundred higher than that of the vacuum deposited film.

Differential field effect transistors with double gate metal for integrated humidity sensors have been fabricated and the drain current drift characteristics to relative humidity have been investigated. The aspect ratio was 250/50 for both transistors to get the current difference between the sensing device and non-sensing one. The normalized drain current of the fabricated humidity sensitive field effect transistors increases from 0.12 to 0.3, as relative humidity increases from 30% to 90%.

$TiO_{2}-Co_{3}O_{4}$ humidity sensors were fabricated by conventional ceramic process and their humid sensing characteristics were investigated. The sample which was added 10wt% $Co_{3}O_{4}$ and heat-treated $1200^{\circ}C$ showed the highest sensitivity to humidity changes and improved a linearity. As $Co_{3}O_{4}$ content was increasing, the sensor consists a uniform pore distribution and grain in the surface. This was analyzed by SEM photographs.
