  • An infrared temperature sensor module developed for the detection of defects in a plate was modified to use in a cylinder. A set of optical fiber leads and a mechanism maintaining sensor-object distance constant were utilized for the modification of the IR sensor module. The detection performance was experimentally investigated, and the measured temperature was also compared with computed temperature distribution. The experimental outcome indicates that the detection of a simulated defect is readily available. The temperature distribution is better for defect detection than that with the previous device. In addition, the measured distribution is comparable to the calculated one using a heat conduction equation. The developed device of defect detection is suitable to be utilized in chemical processes where most of vessels and piping systems are in the shape of a cylinder.

  • It is usual to evaluate the performance of the cool roof by measuring in-site rooftop temperature using thermal infra-red camera. The principal advantage of rooftop thermal infrared image acquired in oblique vantage point of super high-rise building as a remote sensor is to provide, in a cost-effective manner, area-wide information required for a scattered rooftop target with different colors, utilizing wide view angle and multi-temporal data coverage. This research idea was formulated by incorporating the concept of traditional remote sensing into rooftop temperature monitoring. Correlations between infrared image of super high-rise building and in-situ data were investigated to compare rooftop surface temperature for a total of four different rooftop locations. The results of the correlations analyses indicate that the rooftop surface temperature by the infrared images of super high-rise building alone could be explained yielding $R^2$ values of 0.951. The visible permanent record of the oblique thermal infra-red image was quite useful in better understanding the nature and extent of rooftop color that occurs in sampling points. This thermal infrared image acquired in oblique vantage point of super high-rise made it possible to identify area wide patterns of rooftop temperature change subject to many different colors, which cannot be acquired by traditional in-site field sampling. The infrared image of super high-rise building breaks down the usual concept of field sampling established as a conventional cool roof performance evaluation technique.

  • A low power gas sensor with microheater was fabricated by MEMS technology. In order to heat up the gas sensing material to a operating temperature, a platinum(Pt) micro heater was built on to the micromachined Si substrate. The width and gap of microheater were $20\;{\mu}m$ and $4.5\;{\mu}m$, respectively. ZnO nanowhisker arrays were fabricated on a sensor device by hydrothermal method. The sensor device was deposited with ZnO seeds using PLD systems. A 200 ml aqueous solution of 0.1 mol zinc nitrate hexahydrate, 0.1 mol hexamethylenetetramine, and 0.02 mol polyethylenimine was used for growthing ZnO nanowhiskers. The power consumption to heat up the gas sensor to a operating temperature was measured and temperature distribution of sensor was analyzed by a Infrared Thermal Camera. The optimum temperature for highest sensitivity was found to be $250^{\circ}C$ although relatively high(64 %) sensitivity was obtained even at as low as $150^{\circ}C$. The power consumption was 72 mW at $250^{\circ}C$ and was only 25 mW at $150^{\circ}C$.

  • 마이크로파 에너지로서 현미경 관찰을 위한 생체물질을 고정할 때, 고정효과는 화학 고정액을 사용할 때와 비교하여 보다 우수한 또는 적어도 동일한 고정효과를 볼 수 있다는 것은 알려진 사실이다. 그러나 기존의 마이크로파 오븐을 사용하여 생체물질을 고정하면 고정 정도에 일정성이 없는데, 이는 마이크로파가 균일하게 조사되지 않고 고정에 적절하도록 마이크로팍의 강도를 조절하기 어려우며, 이로 인하여 정확한 고정온도의 측정이 불가능하기 때문으로 생각된다. 이 연구에서는 마이크로파가 조사되는 동안 시료의 온도를 측정할 수 없는 기존의 마이크연.파 오븐의 단점을 보완하기 위하여 비접촉식 적외선 온도 감응기를 장착한 마이크로파 오븐을 개발하였으며 고정효과를 관찰하기 위하여는 포유류의 기준 조직으로 알려진 생쥐의 신장을 고정하였다 고정효과는 전체적인 구조와 세부 구조의 보존이 모두 우수하였고 최적의 고정온도는 28$\pm$1$^{\circ}C$(완충용액 20 ml, 10초) 이었다. 이와같이 고정된 재료는 고정효과 뿐만 아니라 염색성이 좋아서 조직화학 반응이 우수하고, 냉동절편법과 연계했을 때 전체 절편제작 과정이 2~4시간 내에 완료될 수 있었다 이때 절편의 질(질)은 화학 고정액이나 냉동절편 법에 의하여 제작된 것 보다 우수하였다.

  • Gas insulated switchgear (GIS) is widely used in the power systems, however, the contacts overheating of the inside circuit breaker or disconnector may be a potential cause of developing accidents. As the temperature of the contacts cannot be directly acquired due to existence of the metallic shield, an infrared sensor is adopted to directly measure the temperature of the shield and then the contacts temperature can be indirectly obtained by data fitting, based on which the on-line temperature monitoring technology specifically for GIS contacts based on infrared sensing is proposed in this paper. A real GIS test platform is constructed and experimental studies are carried out to account for the influential factors that affect the accuracy of the infrared temperature measurement. A heat transfer model of the GIS module is also developed, together with experimental studies, the nonlinear temperature relationship among the contacts, the metallic shield and the environment based on a neural network algorithm is established. Finally, an integrated on-line temperature monitoring system for the GIS contacts is developed for on-site applications.
