In this paper, through a digital potentiometer and exponentially weighted moving average filter, pulse and PPG waveform measurable device was fabricated in radial artery. If this device is not proper about signal size in analog part, MCU can judge easily by adjusted amplification through digital potentiometer, using exponentially weighted moving average filter is able to filter out more clear value of ADC. I presumed pulse rate as value of measuring time between point of maximum contraction from sensing signal in radial artery of wrist. Therefore, this means can measure stable pulse rate and PPG waveform, finger as well as radial artery, whether signal size of each person is different finger as well as radial artery.

In this paper, a digital potentiometer is used as a load resistor of a wireless optical differential detector with a polarizer, to improve the noise reduction capability. In this structure, the noise voltages of the two photodiodes are made equal by controlling a digital potentiometer and the optical noise is cancelled out. With a digital potentiometer, the signal to noise ratio is enhanced by about 23 dB.

The MSC is a high resolution multi-spectral camera system which is mounted on the KOMPSAT-II satellite. The electro-optic camera system has a refocusing mechanism which can be used in-orbit by ground commands. By adjusting locations of some elements in optics, the system can be focused precisely. The focus mechanism in MSC is implemented with stepper motor and potentiometer. By reading the value of the potentiometer, rough position of the motor can be understood. The exact location of the motor can not be acquired because the information from the potentiometer can not be so accurate. However, before and after certain events of the satellite, like a satellite launch, the direction of the movement or order of the magnitude of the movement can be understood. In this paper, the trend analysis of the focus motor position during the ground test phase is introduced. This result can be used as basic information for the focus calibration after launch. By studying the long term trend, deviation from the best focal point can be understood. The positions of the focus motors after launch are also compared.

This study was conducted to sense posture of an autonomous tractor using a DGPS, a gyro compass, and a potentiometer. Posture sensing system was constructed and its accuracy was evaluated. The accuracy of DGPS was evaluated under stationary and moving conditions, and the performance of the gyro compass and the potentiometer was investigated by measuring bearing and steering angles, respectively. Also, the effect of DGPS interference by obstacles was evaluated experimentally. The position accuracy was about 6.6cm(95%) under the stationary condition and 10 cm at sharp turning condition. Steering angle of the tractor could be related linearly to the output of the potentiometer that was installed on the rotating center of a knuckle arm. The positioning accuracy of the DGPS varied significantly according to the number of visible GPS satellites, but was good with more than 7 satellites. The DGPS gave bad solutions for sensing the posture of tractor when signals from satellites or the correction data from the base were interfered by obstacles.

In this paper, an arm motion sensing system using potentiometer is developed. Most motion sensing systems use optical method for the quality of motion data. The optical method needs much cost for manufacturing capture system and takes much time for correcting the captured data. And mechanical method entails relativity low cost, but it uses the wires and takes much time for correcting the data like the optical method. For solving the problems, in this paper, an arm motion sensing system is newly developed using low cost potentiometer and based on the suggested simple calculation method for the joint angles and the angular velocities. For the verification of the performance of the developed system, practical experiments were executed using real human arm motion and a robot arm. The experimental results showed that the motion of the robot arm controlled by the output of the developed motion sensing system is much similar with the motion of human arm.

Speed control of kerosene engine by the combination of a manual throttle and centrifugal weight type governor is not adequate for evaluating energy requirements in laboratory and field performance tests. This paper describes an engine speed control system. This system consists of Apple-II microcomputer, step motor set to the throttle shaft directly, step motor driving and interfacing circuit, engine performance data acquisition system for measuring load, speed and time and potentiometer as speed adjustor. The performance of this system was successful in maintaining engine speed within ${\pm}37$ rpm of reference speed indicated by computer and potentiometer.

차량용 에어컨시스템은 그림2.1과 같이 온도제어를 위하여 각Door의 위치를 제어하고 있는데 현재 적용중인 위치제어 방법은 주로 접점식Encoder 및 전위차계(Potentiometer)를 사용하여 구현하고 있다. 이는 접점식Encoder 및 전위차계를 사용하여 Position Sensing을 하는 Servo 위치제어 System이나 접점식Encoder의 분해능이 낮아 임의위치 제어가 곤란하고, 전위차계의 저항 비선형 특성에 의하여 출력에 영향을 주게되므로 정밀위치제어가 어렵다. 또한, 에어컨시스템 제어를 위해 D.I.O(Direct In Out)제어방법을 적용하고 있어 시스템전체가 복잡하게 구성되는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 그림2.2와같이 자기저항(M.R센서)Type 엔코더를 사용하여 D.C Motor Actuator를 임의위치제어가 가능하게 하였고, 직렬통신(Serial Communication)방식을 사용하여 복잡한 시스템을 컴펙트하게 설계하여 차량용 에어컨에서 기존의 제어방법에 비하여 온도제어성 및 각토출구간 온도편차를 향상시켰다.

An AC-DC transfer standard(TS) is used for the AC voltage standard in the range of 2 mV to 1000 V below 1 MHz. Micro-potentiometer(${\mu}Pot$) is used to evaluate the ac-dc transfer difference(ADD) of the TS below 200 mV range. The ADD of the TS were changed by the loading effect caused from the input impedance change of the TS depend on frequency. An input impedance evaluation technique of the TS using ${\mu}Pot$ has been developed.

In this paper, the output voltage of a photodetector is stabilized using a digital potentiometer, to reduce the voltage variation when the detector position deviates from the center of the signal beam. The capture distance is calculated, and stabilization performance is observed through experiments. This scheme is very useful to reduce the output voltage variations due to the small change of the optical signal power, beam direction, and the detector position.
