This paper reports some results of an experimental investigation of planar double injection magnetic sensors. The threshold voltage proved to be very sensitive to an applied magnetic field. The magnitude and direction of the threshold voltage variation depends on the field strength and its orientation with respect to the conduction chennel. The positively-directed field pushes the carriers into the bulk causing an increase in the threhold voltage. These results seem to agree with a path modulation due to Lorentz force. The application of a negative field causes a negative variation, which is dependent on the surface recombination velocity of the silicon-$SiO_2$ interface.

We have fabricated the vacuum magnetic sensor with a lateral field emitter arrays constructed on n-Si substrate, and investigated its magnetic characteristics. The device consists of 100 field-emitter tips with a $10{\mu}m$ pitch, gate, and split-anodes which are laterally structured. The electron-emission characteristics from the emitter followed the Fowler-Nordheim tunnelling theory. The sensor has good linear characteristics and high sensitivity of 825 %/T.

This work is towards the development of a low-cost, small-sized inertial navigation system(INS) which consists of 3 accelerometers, 3 semiconductor gyros and a magnetic compass sensor. This paper explains in detail the structure of the developed system and proposes a 3 dimensional attitude estimation algorithm with Indirect Kalman Filter. The experiments are performed with the developed system attached to a 6 DOF robot for showing the effectiveness of the algorithm.

This study presents a vertical-type CMOS Hall device with improved sensitivity to detect a 3D magnetic field in various types of sensors or communication devices. To improve sensitivity, trenches are implanted next to the current input terminal, so that the Hall current becomes maximum. The effect of the dimension and location of trenches on sensitivity is simulated in the COMSOL simulator. A vertical-type Hall device with a width of $16{\mu}m$ and a height of $2{\mu}m$ is optimized for maximum sensitivity. The simulation result shows that it has a 23% better result than a conventional vertical-type CMOS Hall device without a trench.

Magnetic and magneto-optical properties of regioregular (>99%) poly(3-dodecylthiopenes are investigated. Faraday rotation of spin-coated films show extremely large Verdet constants, falling strongly with decreasing regioregularity. EPR spectroscopy at room temperature shows the presence of about 1 spin/190 monomers, indicative of delocalisation beyond a single polymer chain. SQUID measurements on the polymer give an effective magnetic moment of about 48900 mB, corrsponding to a S-value of 25.000. The Weiss-constant is 1.33 K indicating ferromagnetic coupling. Our experimental results show that organic polymer magnets can be prepared. Large MO effects allow the use of these materials in all-organic MO-sensors and devices.

When the spindle is rotated for machining the workpiece, the vibration is generated due to the spindle unbalance. This vibration affects surface finish, dimensional accuracy, tool life, and spindle bearings. To compensate this effect of the spindle unbalance, the spindle system using an EME(electro magnetic exciter)is proposed in this paper. In the proposed spindle system, the vibration due to the spindle unbalance is monitored using vibration sensors and is compensated by electromagnetic attractive forces generated in the EME which are excited by anti-direction forces corresponded with the measured unbalance. Firstly, the spindle system using an EME and control system are constructed to compensate the effect of spindle unbalance in this paper. And then the system is modeled by bond graph to analyze the system. Finally, a controller for vibration compensation due to spindle unbalance is designed and is implemented in real experimental system. As a result, experimental results show this proposed spindle system is very effective to compensate the spindle unbalance.

In this paper, a levitation controller for a magnetic levitation(MagLev) system is designed and implemented. The target to be controlled is PEM(permanent and electromagnet) type with 4-corners levitation which is open-loop unstable, highly non-linear and time-varying system. The digital control system consists of a VME-based CPU board, AD board, PU board, 4-Quadrant chopper, and gap sensor, accelerometer as feedback sensors. In order to estimate the velocity of the magnet, we used 2nd-order state observer with acceleration and gap signal as input and output, respectively. Using the estimated states, a state feedback control law for the plant is designed and the feedback gains are selected by using the pole-placement method. The designed controller is experimentally validated by step-type gap reference change and force disturbance test.

In this paper, a suspension control of a magnetic levitation(MagLev) system with flexible rail is designed and presented. The numerical modelling for the electromagnetic system to be controlled as a target plant is carried out. And dome kinds of the hardware system including CPU board, AD board, DA board, sensors, and switching power amplifier are described. Using the derived model, the stabilizing controllers, such as PID and $H_{\infty}$ controller, for the MagLev system are designed using the MATLAB toolbox. The designed controllers are validated by some experimental results as well as numerical simulations. So it is shown that $H_{\infty}$ controller can give the better performance for the plant with flexible modes than PID controller.

In order to display magnetic signals obtained from a magneto-resistance sensor, a direct current magnetometer was designed and its circuit was constructed. The magnetic fields measured by the home-made magnetometer, which showed good functions of automatic ranging, analog output, and vector sensing, were well agreed with those by commercial MAG-01 magnetometer. The measurement range of the magnetometer was $1\;{\mu}T$ to 1.999 mT, the resolution was -132 dB within 1 Hz bandwidth and the measured magnetic fields could be displayed with $3{\cdot}1/2$-digit LED.
