This paper presents an three dimension attitude of inertial navigation system(INS) for managing a transporter in shipyard by using low-cost inertial sensors. The GPS(Global Positioning System) shade field prevents from receiving information of position through GPS satellites, GIS(Geographic Information System) in shipyard, therefore TNS system plays an important part. This system is composed of tiny low-cost gyroscopes, accelerometers and a magnetic compass, and 3-dimension position is estimated by an indirect Kalman filter using the outputs of these inertial sensors.

This paper describes development of a new displacement sensor for intelligent suspension system in which the damping force has been controlled by MR fluid. Most of the current vehicle height sensors have been installed at external place of the damper and connected to that by mechanical linkages so far. The developed sensor has a new mechanism which detects movement of the sensor rod same as connecting rod in the suspension damper by using a GMR Sensor and converts it to the relative displacement from an initial position.

In this study, we developed intelligent spacer built in the internal type UHF PD sensors. 3-Dimensional electro-magnetic simulations were performed to analyze electric-field distribution of the single-phase GIS and three-phase GIS. After considering the spacer's specification, Sensor structures were designed and analyzed using the 3-D EM Simulator. As a result of the simulation the internal type UHF PD sensors were built in. Performance of the sensor built into real scale GIS spacer was measured in terms of return loss and detected Max voltage. And we identified a character of the intelligent spacer by using 5pC partial discharge ceil.

The influences of the load resistance $R_L$ on the magnetoelectric (ME) characteristics of $NiZnFe_2O_4+PZT$ composite were investigated in the non-resonance frequency range. The ME coefficient peak increases with increasing $R_L$, but the frequency indicating the ME coefficient peak decreases with increasing $R_L$. The maximum output power peak is approximately $9.3{\times}10^{-10}mW/Oe$ near $R_L=3.3M{\Omega}$ at f=280 Hz, and the ME coefficient seems to be saturated at $R_L>20M{\Omega}$. This frequency shift effect of $R_L$ shows that the frequency range for an ME sensor application can be modulated with the appropriate value of $R_L$. The ME output voltage has a good linear response to the ac field Hac and shows fair stability over a range of temperatures. The measured non-linearity of this sample is approximately 0.8%. This sample will allow for a low-strength magnetic ac-field sensor. The result from this sample will serve as basic data for a signal-processing circuit system.

The 2-dimensional silicon vertical Hall devices, which are sensitive to X,Y components of the magnetic field parallel to the surface of the chip, are fabricated using a modified bipolar process. It consists of the thin p-layer at Si-$SiO_2$ interface and n-epi layer to improve the sensitivity and influence of interface effect. Experimental samples are a sensor type K with and type J without $p^+$ isolation dam adjacent to the center current electrode. The results for both type show a more high sensitivity than the former's 2-dimensional vertical Hall devices and a good linearity. The measured non-linearity is about 0.8%. The sensitivity of type J and type K are about 66 V/AT and 200 V/AT, respectively. This sensor's behavior can be explained by the similar J-FET model.

The design of an intelligent toothbrush, capable of monitoring brushing motion, orientation through the grip axis, during toothbrushing is described. Inappropriate Toothbrushing styles, even in adults, sometimes cause dental problems, cavities, gingivitis, etc. This smart system provides user to monitor his or her brushing pattern using accelerometer and magnetic sensors for evaluation of toothbrushing style. Directional information of toothbrush with respect to earth's magnetic field and activity data were measured by a miniaturized low-power micro- controller, MSP430 and transmitted to personal computer by 2.4GHz radio transmitter, nRF2401. A personal computer provides an on-line display of activity and orientation measurements during toothbrushing. The signal trace is then analyzed to extract clinically relevant measurement. This preliminary study showed that the proposed monitoring system was conceived to aid dental care personnel in patient education and instruction in oral hygiene regarding brushing style.

강자성체 자기저항 센서를 개발하기 위하여 70Ni-30Co 합금을 $10^{-6}$ Torr의 진공중에서 $250^{\circ}C$ 의 슬라이드 그라스 위에 두께 $600{\AA}$ 으로 진공 증착한 후 박막을 격자형으로 식각하고 인출선을 연결하였다. 이와 같은 과정으로 제작된 센서의 자기저항 변화율에 미치는 온도, 저항, 선폭 등의 영향을 조사하고 보자력, 포화자화, 최대유효감도, 지연시간, 회전율, 백색잡음, 분해능 등을 조사 분석한 결과, (70Ni-30Co) 합금을 기판온도 $250^{\circ}C$ 에서 두께 $600{\AA}$ 으로 진공 증착하면 결정자기 이방성이 형성되어 자기저항 소자로써의 기능이 자발적으로 구비되면서 230 nT 의 최대유효감도가 구비됨을 확인하였다. ${\pm}10$ Oe 의 자장구간에서는 직선적인 자기저항변화를 보였으며, 센서소자를 형성하는 격자선의 폭에 대한 길이의 비가 클수록 자기저항 값이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 한편 센서 소자와 인출선을 인듐으로 연결시키면 저항온도계수가 $8{\times}10^{-3}/deg$로 증가되어 센서 본연의 저항온도계수($1{\times}10^{4}/deg$)가 매우 심하게 열화된다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이 실험에서 제작된 강자성박막(70Ni-30Co)의 특성은 보자력이 5.1 A/cm이고 포화자화가 0.64T 이었는데, 이 박막으로 제작한 자기저항 센서의 지연시간은 $5{\mu}s$이었고 회전율(slew rate)은 0.39 $Oe/{\mu}s$ 이었으며 백색잡음은 -120 dB 정도이었다.

Current sensors that use a Hall element and Hall IC to measure the magnetic fields generated in steel silicon core gaps do not distinguish between direct and alternating currents. Thus, they are primarily used to measure direct current (DC) in industrial equipment. Although such sensors can measure the DC when installed in expensive equipment, ascertaining problems becomes difficult if the equipment is set up in an unexposed space. The control box is only opened during scheduled maintenance or when anomalies occur. Therefore, in this paper, a method is proposed for facilitating the safety management and maintenance of equipment when necessary, instead of waiting for anomalies or scheduled maintenance. A Bluetooth 4.0 low-energy current-sensor system based on near-field communication is used, which compensates for the nonlinearity of the current-sensor output signal using a piecewise linear model. The sensor is controlled using its generic attribute profile. Sensor nodes and cell phones used to check the signals obtained from the sensor at 50-A input currents showed an accuracy of ±1%, exhibiting linearity in all communications within the range of 0 to 50 A, with a stable output voltage for each communication segment.

Mobile devices are becoming increasingly sophisticated and the latest generation of smartphones now incorporates many diverse and powerful sensors. These sensors include acceleration sensor, magnetic field sensor, light sensor, proximity sensor, gyroscope sensor, pressure sensor, rotation vector sensor, gravity sensor and orientation sensor. The availability of these sensors in mass-marketed communication devices creates exciting new opportunities for data mining and data mining applications. In this paper, we describe and evaluate a system that uses phone-based accelerometers to perform activity recognition, a task which involves identifying the physical activity that a user is performing. To implement our system, we collected labeled accelerometer data from 10 users as they performed daily activities such as "phone detached", "idle", "walking", "running", and "jumping", and then aggregated this time series data into examples that summarize the user activity 5-minute intervals. We then used the resulting training data to induce a predictive model for activity recognition. This work is significant because the activity recognition model permits us to gain useful knowledge about the habits of millions of users-just by having them carry cell phones in their pockets.

In this paper, we propose the method to eliminate EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) in ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) band below 2 KHz for extending the gesture-recognition distance of smart TVs to more than 3m using electric potential sensor. First, we measure the electric field generated from the back panel of a TV and propose the effective arrangement of two sets of differential sensors as well as the shielding method using metal fiber. Also, we eliminate the PLN (Power Line Noise) and other noise generated from the TV and sensors as well as surrounding environments using filters. Using the proposed EMI eliminating methods, we evaluate displacement ratio on measured signals according to distance between sensors and a moving hand. Experiment results show that our proposed method can extend the hand-gesture sensing distance using EPS (Electric Potential Sensor) up to more than 3m, which is enough to satisfy applicability of EPS based remote control to Smart TVs.
