It was developed the oxygen sensor of air-fuel ratio measuring system that was controlled the needed air amounts in optimum combustion according to the analysis of oxygen concentration of exhaust gas. The oxygen sensor was prepared by using gold as cathode, which the detection range for the oxygen concentration was from 0.0% to 30.0%. Response time was observed 15 to 20 sec. rapidly and selectively. It was appeared a good result in reproducibility and stability.

This paper describes the design technique and the method of analog front-end to measure the saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen sensor. To process the $SpO_2$ value from the sensor, the current data from the sensor should be converted into voltage domain. Designed analog front-end usually converts the current data from the sensor into voltage domain data to pass it on analog-to-digital converter called ADC with a different level of gain characteristics. This circuit was fabricated in a $0.11{\mu}m$ CMOS technology and has 4 level of gain properties. The occupied area is $0.174mm^2$.

The experimental work is performed to obtain content levels and characteristics of flue gas in infrared mobile heaters for butane gas with varying the chamber size and its room temperature. The results showed that the oxygen depletion sensor device is operated at 18.3% of oxygen content. And the relation of oxygen content and carbon dioxide content in an enclosed space show linear aspect, but the content rate of carbon monoxide occurs at random without the level of oxygen content and carbon dioxide content.

Surgery to increase cerebral blood flow is one of the treatment methods of cerebral infarction. In order to supplement this invasive method, non-invasive devices have been introduced that use human blood pressure to pressurize the extremities to increase cerebral blood flow. However, the problem of poor speed and accuracy was raised. In this paper, the perfusion index of each arm is measured by applying pressure to both arms using Blood Oxygen Level Sensor to improve the accuracy of measurement and measurement time. The pressure applied to the arm is calculated by using the pressure value obtained from the arm. Like the existing blood pressure measuring cerebral blood flow increasing device, the blood flow can be increased by more than 20% and the measurement time can be shortened, so that it can be selectively used for the patient with cerebral infarction.

Bridge scour is the predominant cause of overwater bridge failures in North America and around the world. Several sensing systems have been developed over the years to detect the extent of scour so that preventative actions can be performed in a timely manner. These sensing systems have drawbacks, such as signal inaccuracy and discontinuity, installation difficulty, and high cost. Therefore, attempts to develop more efficient monitoring schemes continue. In this study, the viability of using optical dissolved oxygen (DO) probes for monitoring scour depths was explored. DO levels are very low in streambed sediments, as compared to the standard level of oxygen in flowing water. Therefore, scour depths can be determined by installing sensors to monitor DO levels at various depths along the buried length of a bridge pier or abutment. The measured DO is negligible when a sensor is buried but would increase significantly once scour occurs and exposes the sensor to flowing water. A set of experiments was conducted in which four dissolved oxygen probes were embedded at different soil depths in the vicinity of a mock bridge pier inside a laboratory flume simulating scour conditions. The results confirmed that DO levels jumped drastically when sensors became exposed during scour hole evolution, thereby providing discrete measurements of the maximum scour depth. Moreover, the DO probes could detect any subsequent refilling of the scour hole through the deposition of sediments. The effect of soil permeability on the sensing response time was also investigated.

In this study, the pulse of radial artery and oxygen saturation are detected using photoelectric plethysmograph method. Using our device designed reflection type, we can detect the reflected light by radial artery and by switching circuit, we can also separate to 625nm band signal and 940nm band signals. The separated signals are converted as a pulse data by the pulse signal processing circuit. In this study, the reflection type of oxygen saturation calculation method is applied instead of the transmission type because of the reflection type sensor is used to measure the radial artery. As a result, we can detect about 97% accuracy of the oxygen saturation compare with the conventional method. For the accurate signals, the wrist band with sensor was designed and fixed on the radial artery. As a result, this wrist band type sensor was applicable to prevent position errors from motion artifact and could increase the accuracy during the measuring.

Flow injection analysis (FIA) system was developed to monitor glucose concentrations in biotechnological processes. A fiber optic oxygen sensor was used to determine consumption of oxygen concentration by reaction of immobilized glucose oxidase (GOD). The GOD was immobilized on VA-Epoxy carrier and integrated into FIA system. A calibration curve for glucose was obtained in the range of 0.5 $g/L{\sim}3.0$ g/L.
