There is currently much interest in the development of instruments that emulate the senses of humans. Increasingly, there is demand for mimicking the human sense of smell, which is a sophisticated chemosensory system. An electronic nose system is applicable to a large area of industries including environmental monitoring. We have designed a protable electronic nose system using an array of commercial chemical gas sensors for recognizing and analyzing the various odours. In this paper, we have implemented a portable electronic nose system using an array of gas sensors for recognizing and analyzing VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) in the field. The accuracy of a portable electronic nose system may be lower than an instrument such as GC/MS (Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometer). However, a portable electronic nose system could be used on the field and showed fast response to pollutants in the field. Several different algorithms for odours recognition were used such as BP (Back-Propagation) or LM-BP (Levenberq-Marquardt Back-Propagation). We applied RBF (Radial Basis Function) Network for recognition and quantifying of odours, which has simpler and faster compared to the previously used algorithms such as BP and LM-BP.

The smart fashion industry is showing steady growth worldwide, which will create new value throughout the fashion industry and become an essential element for efficient lifestyles. This study attempted to examine the development trend of smart fashion products from a design perspective and present the direction of design as a fashion item incorporating smart technology from a functional perspective. For this purpose, the category of portable smart fashion and the characteristics of the research object were considered through current status survey and previous research review. Among smart fashion, accessories and clothing/fabric products that have been released thus far that apply portable fashion design principles are selected and its characteristics are analyzed. In addition, function keywords were extracted based on the product description provided by the manufacturer and the function-oriented types were classified to identify each type's design characteristics. Therefore, the area receiving the signal and the sensor size should be considered, as should the fashion accessory type that combines various materials and colors. The clothing/textile type requires a design that mainly focuses on functions related to bio-signal interactions.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has long been projected as a powerful analytical technique for chemical and biological sensing applications. Pairing with portable Raman spectrometers makes the technique extremely appealing as real-time sensors for field application. However, the lack of reliable, uniform, low cost and ease-of-use SERS enhancement structures has prevented the wide adoption of this technique for general applications. We have discovered a novel hybrid structure based on the high-density and uniform arrays of gold nanofingers over a large surface area for SERS applications. The nanofingers are flexible and their tips can be brought together to trap molecules to mimic the biological system. We report here a rapid, simple, low-cost, and sensitive method of detecting trace level of food contaminants by using nanofinger chips based on portable SERS technique. We also present here the characterization of surface reaction of target molecules with our gold nanofinger substrates and the effect of nanofinger closing towards SERS performance. This new type of nano-structures can potentially revolutionize the medical and biologic research by providing a novel way to capture, localize, manipulate, and interrogate biological molecules with unprecedented capabilities.

본 연구에서는 엑스선 증감지와 광센서, 마이크로컨트롤러(MCU)를 이용하여 휴대와 이동이 용이한 교육용 방사선검출기를 제안하였다. 광센서와 증감지로 이루어진 검출부와 마이크로컨트롤부로 간단하게 구성되어 제작이 쉽고 소형화 및 휴대형으로 적합하게 제작되었다. 검출기의 성능 확인을 위해 전압을 50에서 100 kVp까지 변경하며 검출시스템과 흡수선량계를 이용하여 방사선을 측정하였다. 관전류량은 100 mAs, SDD는 100 cm로 고정하였고 각 관전압에서 10회 반복 측정하였다. 측정값을 이용하여 검출기의 응답과 선형성을 확인하였다. 검출기와 흡수선량계의 측정결과 비교에서 높은 상관성(r:0.998, p<.001)을 보임을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 본 연구에서 제안된 증감지와 마이크로컨트롤러 기반의 검출기의 사용가능성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 휴대형 방사선검출시스템이 소형, 저가형, 휴대형 시스템으로 교육용으로 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

This paper describes the development of a portable potentiostat which can perform square wave voltammetry on electrochemical sensors and wireless transmission of the measured data to a smartphone using Bluetooth. The potentiostat consists of a square wave potential pulse generation circuit for applying the potential pulse to the electrochemical sensor, a reduction/oxidation (or redox) current measurement circuit, and Bluetooth for wireless data transmission to an Android-based smartphone. The measured data are then processed to show the output graph on the smart phone screen in real time. This data transformation into a graph is carried out by developing and installing a simple transformation application software in the Android-based smartphone. This application software also enables the user to set and change the measurement parameters such as the applied voltage range and measured current range at user's convenience. The square voltammetry output data measured with the developed portable potentiostat were almost same as the data of the commercial potentiostat. The measured oxidation peak current with the commercial potentiostat was $11.35{\mu}A$ at 0.26 V and the measured oxidation peak current with the developed system was $12.38{\mu}A$ at 0.25 V. This proves that performance of the developed portable measurement system is comparable to the commercial one.

$1000^{\circ}C$까지 비직선 특성을 보상할 수 있는 휴대용 K형 열전대 온도계를 설계 및 제작하였다. 열전대를 이용한 온도계에서 해결해야 할 문제는 비선형특성 보상과 기준점 보상이다. 열전대의 비선형특성은 EPROM을 사용하여 보상하였으며, 기준점 보상은 집적 소자 AD595A를 사용하여 수행하였다. 비선형 특성을 보상하기 전에는 $876^{\circ}C$에서 최대 $23.6^{\circ}C$(2.69%)의 오차가 있었으나, 제작된 휴대용 K형 열전대 온도계로 측정한 결과는 전체 온도 범위 내에서 ${\pm}2^{\circ}C$(0.2%)의 오차 특성을 가진다. 이런 특성은 K형 열전대를 사용하여 측정할 수 있는 상용한도 $1000^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 온도센서의 정밀도 규격을 만족한다. 그러므로 제작된 휴대용 K형 열전대 온도계는 넓은 온도 측정에 비교적 정확하게 사용할 수 있다. 그리고 이러한 비선형 특성을 보상하는 기법은 다른 종류의 온도센서의 보상에 적용할 수 있다.

There are many ways to detect the heart rate non-invasively such as ECG, PPG, strain gauge, and pressure sensor. In this paper, the pulse wave measurement system using bipolar biased head on mode of the Hall sensor is proposed for measuring the radial artery pulse. TMS320F2812 was used to implement the proposed system and a portable wireless network(zig-bee) was used to show the experimental result. It was confirmed from experiment that the performance of the implemented system was more stable and faster than PPG sensor or piezoelectric film pressure sensor.

Portable low-cost Kinect sensor was used to analyze standing balance ability of the elderly. Eighty subjects who can walk alone and have a normal cognitive level participated in this experiment. Based on Berg Balance scale (BBS) test with 52 points, subjects were divided into Healthy older (HO: 46 persons, BBS: $53.80{\pm}1.19$) and Impaired older (IO: 34 persons, BBS: $49.06{\pm}2.03$) group. Each subject performed 30 seconds four different standing balance tests (EO: Eyes Open, EC: Eyes Close, EOf: Eyes Open on foam, ECf: Eyes Close on foam). Five variables (Mean distance, Range of distance, Root mean square, Mean velocity, 95% ellipse area) were calculated from the hip joint center movement of Kinect sensor. Results showed that there were significant differences between groups for four different standing tests. Calculated variables from kinect sensor showed significant correlation with BBS score. Especially, mediolateral mean distance, mediolateral root mean square, mediolateral range of distance and 95% ellipse area showed discriminative ability for all tests. Mean values of variables of IO were higher than those of HO, which means the decreased balance ability in IO compared with HO. Therefore, it was possible to estimate simple balance assessment of the elderly using portable low-cost Kinect sensor.
