This paper presents a new class of magnetic microsensors based on the Hall effect in AC microplasma. In the theoretical study, we develop a simple model of the plasma Hall sensor and express the plasma Hall voltage as a function of magnetic field, plasma discharge field, pressure, and electrode geometry. On this basis, we have designed and fabricated magnetic microsensors using AC neon plasma. In the experiment, we have measured the Hall voltage output of the plasma microsensors for varying five different conditions, including the frequency and the magnitude of magnetic field, the frequency and the magnitude of plasma discharge voltage, and the neon pressure. The fabricated magnetic microsensors show a magnetic field sensitivity of 8.87${\pm}$0.18㎷/G with 4.48% nonlinearity.

In this paper, the difficulties involved in analyzing and designing a management system for product development are discussed with reference to reducing the impact of products on the environment. We propose some models and methods to analyze information behavior in the process of product development based on a fusion model which integrates the assessments of users’ needs, the environment, and available technology. These models and methods are subsequently applied to the development of a new packaging material. The results of this case study allow us to identify effective information for the design of a management system for product development to reduce the impact of products on the environment.

Multilayer co-extrusion blown film construction is a popular technique for producing plastic films for various packaging industries. Automated detection of defective films can improve the quality of film production process. In this paper, we propose a film inspection system that can detect and classify film defects robustly. In our system, first, film images are acquired through a high speed line-scan camera under an appropriate lighting system. In order to detect and classify film defects, an inspection algorithm is developed. The algorithm divides the typical film defects into two groups: intensity-based and texture-based. Intensity-based defects are classified based on geometric features. Whereas, to classify texture-based defects, a texture analysis technique based on local binary pattern (LBP) is adopted. Experimental results revealed that our film inspection system is effective in detecting and classifying defects for the multilayer co-extrusion blown film construction line.

To enhance antibiotic function of plastic containers, many methods have been applied. Most of the methods utilize antibiotic properties of antibiotic substances such as silver containing chemicals. Sometimes antibiotic substances are used without long term stability test as food container additives. Basically, this kind of methods is not safe since it is based on the antibiotic properties of the material itself and hence direct contact between food and container additives is unavoidable to obtain antibiotic effect. In this paper, a new concept of information templation was applied to make food containers with antibiotic function. It has been known recently that water memorize informations and this information could be tempelated to other materials through appropriate methods. One of the participating company developed this method to template informations onto plastic materials. Food containers were produced using this plastic chips and experimental results showed that antibiotic functional information temptation method is effective for practical application. Results and discussions are reported in this paper.

The migration potential of volatile organic solvents widely employed in the printing process of food packaging was investigated by using a closed experimental system, which contained a food sample and a paper sheet spiked with the contaminant solvents. The studied organic compounds included toluene and p,m,o-xylene which are relatively highly volatile. Typical food samples of caramel, beef jerky and butter were selected based on their chemical composition and were assigned to the migration system at 10, 25 and 4$0^{\circ}C$. The equilibrated migration level was very high with almost complete transfer in the butter with high fat, while caramel of high carbohydrate content and beef jerky of high protein showed migration degree of 37∼56% and 37∼77%, respectively. Temperature did significantly influence the migration on beef jerky with higher level at higher temperature. There was no difference in the migration level among the solvents.

Purpose: Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are natural polymers that have been promoted as a next generation of new, sustainable materials. CNCs are invaluable as reinforcing materials for composites because they can impart improved mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties and they are biodegradable. The purpose of this review is to provide researchers with information that can assist in the application of CNCs extracted from waste agricultural byproducts (e.g. rice husks, corncobs, pineapple leaves). Methods & Results: This paper presents the unique characteristics of CNCs based on agricultural byproducts, and lists processing methods for manufacturing CNCs from agricultural byproducts. Various mechanical treatments (microfluidization and homogenization) and chemical treatments (alkali treatment, bleaching and hydrolysis) can be performed in order to generate nanocellulose. CNC-based composite properties and various applications are also discussed. Conclusions: CNC-based composites from agricultural byproducts can be combined to meet end-use applications such as sensors, batteries, films, food packaging, and 3D printing by utilizing their properties. The review discusses applications in food engineering, biological engineering, and cellulose-based hydrogels.

This paper presents the fabrication of surface acoustic wave (SAW)-based pressure sensor for long-term stable mechanical compression force measurement. SAW pressure sensor has many attractive features for practical pressure measurement: no battery requirement, wireless pressure detection especially at hazardous environments, and easy other functionality integrations such as temperature, humidity, and RFID. A $41^{\circ}$ YX $LiNbO_3$ piezoelectric substrate was used because of its high SAW propagation velocity and large values of electromechanical coupling factors $K^2$. A silicon substrate with $\~200{\mu}m$ deep cavity was bonded to the diaphragm with epoxy, in which gold was covered all over the inner cavity in order to confine electromagnetic energy inside the sensor, and provide good isolation of the device from its environment. The reflection coefficient $S_{11}$ was measured using network analyzer. High S/N ratio, sharp reflected peaks, and clear separation between the peaks were observed. As a mechanical compression force was applied to the diaphragm from top with extremely sharp object, the diaphragm was bended, resulting in the phase shifts of the reflected peaks. The phase shifts were modulated depending on the amount of applied mechanical compression force. The measured $S_{11}$ results showed a good agreement with simulated results obtained from equivalent admittance circuit modeling.

This paper presents the integrated fluorescent oxygen sensor probe module based on planner lightwave circuits using UV imprint lithography. The oxygen sensor system is consisted of the optical source part, optical detector part and optical sensing probe part to be composed of the planner lightwave circuit and oxygen sensitive thin film layer. Firstly, we optimally designed the planner lightwave circuit with asymmetric $1{\times}2$ beam splitter using beam propagation method. Then, we fabricated the planner lightwave circuits using UV imprint lithography process. This planner lightwave circuits transmitted the optical power with 76% efficiency and the fluorescence signal with 70% efficiency. The oxygen sensitive thin film layer is coated on the end face of planner lightwave circuit. The oxygen sensor system using this sensor probe module with planner lightwave circuit could measure the concentration with 0.3% resolution from 0% to 20% gas range. This optical oxygen sensor probe module make it possible to compact, simple and cheap measurement system.

This paper demonstrates the utility of the Ni-Pd and carbon-nanotube (Ni-Pd-CNT)-based nanoalloy to improve the α-Ga₂O₃ crystal quality using the halide-vapor-phase epitaxy (HVPE) method. As result, the overall thickness of the α-Ga₂O₃ epitaxial layer increased from a Ni electroless plating time of 40 s to 11 ㎛ after growth. In addition, the surface morphologies of the α-Ga₂O₃ epilayers remained flat and crack-free. The full-width half-maximum results of the X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the ($10{\bar{1}}4$) diffraction patterns decreased with increasing nominal thickness.
