The sol-gel method was used to prepare binary metal oxide ($IrO_2-RuO_2$) pH sensor. The electrodes that mole percent compositions (mol%) of $IrO_2$ and RuO2 were 70:30 and 30:70 were selected. The characterizations of Nernstian response over pH range, response rate, interference on alkaline metals and reproducibility were investigated. Also the electroanalytical properties of these electrodes were evaluated in comparison with a commercial glass pH electrode. The composition of $IrO_2:RuO_2$ 70:30 mol% was chosen as better electrode formulation. The electrode was not susceptible to the action of interfering ions such as $Li^+$, $Na^+$ and $K^+$.

This paper proposes a new robust motion deblurring filter using the inertial sensor measurements for strapdown image IR applications. With taking the PSF measurement error into account, the motion blurred image is modeled by the linear uncertain state space equation with the noise corrupted measurement matrix and the stochastic parameter uncertainty. This motivates us to solve the motion deblurring problem based on the recently developed robust least squares estimation theory. In order to suppress the ringing effect on the deblurred image, the robust least squares estimator is slightly modified by adoping the ridge-regression concept. Through the computer simulations using the actual IR scenes, it is demonstrated that the proposed algorithm shows superior and reliable motion deblurring performance even in the presence of time-varying motion artifact.

Fabricated modified PZT system for pyroelectric IR sensor were analyzed and characterized for dielectric piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties. Particle size and distribution of source powders were controlled by attrition milling process. 0.05PSS+yPT+(0.95-y)PZ+0.4 wt%MnO2 system was fabricated and investigated sintering density crystal structure and micro-structure through sintering conditions sintering temperature and sintering atmosphere. The poled sintered system of y=0.11 showed the lowest dielectric constant. The dielectric constants were increased with increasing y-mole ratio. The pyroelectric properties of modified PZT systems which were assembled to TO-5 package were measured by IR measurement system average out-voltage of 0.05PSS+0.1PT+0.84PZ+ wt%MnO2 was 3V.

In this study, a Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) sensor with an externally exposed optical cavity is proposed for improving sensitivity. NDIR CO₂ sensors with high performance must use a lamp-type infrared (IR) source with a strong IR intensity. However, a lamp-type IR source generates high thermal energy that induces thermal noise, interfering with the accuracy of the CO₂ concentration measure. To solve this problem, the optical cavity of the NDIR CO₂ sensor is exposed to quickly dissipate heat. As a result, the proposed NDIR CO₂ sensor has a shorter warm-up time and a higher sensitivity compared to the conventional NDIR CO₂ sensor.

In this paper, we propose and discuss the design using a simple method that reduces the fixed pattern noise(FPN) generated on the amorphous Si($\alpha-Si$) bolometer. This method is applicable to an IR image sensor. This method can also minimize the size of the reference resistor in the readout integrated circuit(ROIC) which processes the signal of an IR image sensor. By connecting four bolometer cells in parallel and averaging the resistances of the bolometer cells, the fixed pattern noise generated in the bolometer cell due to process variations is remarkably reduced. Moreover an $\alpha-Si$ bolometer cell, which is made by a MEMS process, has a large resistance value to guarantee an accurate resistance value. This makes the reference resistor be large. In the proposed cell structure, because the bolometer cells connected in parallel have a quarter of the original bolometer's resistance, a reference resistor, which is made by poly-Si in a CMOS process chip, is implemented to be the size of a quarter. We designed a ROIC with the proposed cell structure and implemented the circuit using a 0.35 um CMOS process.

MSRDS(Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio), the robot simulation platform provides the simulation robots and environments enabling to the basic robot programming without hardware robots. In this paper, we carry the maze escaping problems to compare and analyze the performance of LRF, bumper, IR, and sonar sensor with the same condition on MSRDS(Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio) environment. To evaluate the performance of sensors, we program the simulation environments with same conditions for all sensors. We could find that the LRF sensor had the highest performance and the bumper sensor has the lowest performance on the travel time, the number of turning, and the number of collisions. It was also confirmed that IR sensor and sonar sensor had lower performance than LRF sensor on the number of turning.

The output of an infrared (IR) sensor mounted on an EO/IR payload is known to change during a mission period in an orbital environment. As it is required to calibrate the output of the IR sensor periodically to obtain high-quality images, an on-board black body system is mounted on the payload. All systems operating in the space environment require performance tests on ground to verify the target performance in the orbital environment. Therefore, it is also required to test the black body system to verify the performance of the surface temperature uniformity and the estimated representative temperature error within the target temperature range in the operating environment. In this study, calibration of the estimated representative temperature error and verification of the thermal performance of the black body system were conducted by performed a performance test in the thermal vacuum chamber applying deep space radiation cooling effect of an orbital environment.
