We fabricated the ceramic PLT tablet which was composed of 5, 10 and 15 mol% lanthanum concentration and thin film PLT to develope pyroelectric materials, and investigated their characteristics. Using TG/DTA, we determined calcination and sintering temperature to sinter the PLT completely and to prevent volatilization of the Pb components. The calcination and sintering temperature were $850^{\circ}C$, $1150^{\circ}C$ respectively, and there was a lot of mass loss at higher sintering temperature. By measuring temperature-dielectric constant characteristics of ceramic tablet we investigated dielectric constant characteristics depends on La concentration. The Curie point of PLT with 5, 10 and 15 mol% lanthanum concentration were $330^{\circ}C$, $269^{\circ}C$ and $210^{\circ}C$ respectively. Using PLT ceramic tablet we observed IR detection characteristics, and then deposited PLT thin film by rf magnetron sputtering. We verified that PLT thin film fabricated with completely sintered PLT target had the same structure to target by investigating lattice constant and optical transparency.

In this article, static analysis of a magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) beam subjected to various thermal loading and boundary conditions has been investigated. Influence of pyroeffects (pyroelectric and pyromagnetic) on the direct quantities (displacements and the potentials) of the MEE beam under different boundary conditions is studied. The finite element (FE) formulation of the MEE beam is developed using the total potential energy principle and the constitutive equations of the MEE material taking into account the coupling between elastic, electric, magnetic and thermal properties. Using the Maxwell electrostatic and electromagnetic relations, variation of stresses, displacements, electric and magnetic potentials along the length of the MEE beam are investigated. Effect of volume fractions, aspect ratio and boundary conditions on the direct quantities in thermal environment has been determined. The present investigation may be useful in design and analysis of magnetoelectroelastic smart structures and sensor applications.

This paper is concerned on method of simultaneous force(stress) and temperature sensing with PVDF film. PVDF film has piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties. Therefore, it senses changes of stress and temperature. But it's output is affected with two properties. Using different medium in a sensing element, this problem is solved. Two structures induce different equations that its solutions are changes of stress and temperature. This method and result is applicable in skin sensor that has complexity of material and structure.

본 논문에서는 에너지 절감을 위하여 POWER LED 구동회로를 PIR(Pyroelectric Infrared Ray) 센서를 이용하여 ON/OFF 제어를 하였다. POWER LED의 전류 특성을 설명하였으며 설명된 전류 특성을 개선하고자 정전류 유지 회로를 구성하였다. 그리고 인체 감지 센서에서 발생되는 ON/OFF 신호를 증폭시키는 구동 회로를 설계하여 정전류 유지 회로에 직접 결합하는 방식을 제안하였다. 실험한 결과는 POWER LED의 ON 상태시 4Watt, OFF 상태시 0.5Watt를 소비하였으며, 정전류 유지 회로에 의해 POWER LED 구동 전류의 리플이 줄어들어 안정적인 동작을 하는 것으로 나타났다.

The distribution of the pressure between the sole of a feet and a supporting surface can reveal the information about the structure and fonction of the foot and the posural control of the whole body. In particular, the measurement of the vertical contact forces between the plantar surface of the foot and the shoe insole is of great importance to reveal the loading distributio patterns incurred from a particular shoe midsole design. In order to investigate the plantar surface pressure distribution, an insole-type sensor with a piezoelectric material is developed and tested. The present paper describes a new method to completely reduce both the shear force and pyroelectric effects that are normally caused from piezoelectric materials.

If an appliance perceives the location or health condition of a resident in the smart home, it can provide more intelligent service actively. That is, while the conventional appliance is operated by manual input of a resident, the location-based human adaptive appliance detects the resident's information such as location, activity pattern, or health condition by itself and provides the most suitable living condition for the resident autonomously. This paper presents the real-time location-based metabolic rate estimation method that measures the amount of physical activity (metabolic rate) for location-based human adaptive air-conditioner. And, the feasibility of the algorithm is evaluated experimentally on a test bed using the pyroelectric infrared sensor-based indoor location aware system (PILAS) that is a non-terminal-based location-aware system.

The lanthanum-modified lead titanate (PLT) thin films on (100) cleaved MgO single crystal substrate have been prepared by RF magnetron sputtering method using PbO-rich target with varing La contents. The substrate temperature, working pressure, $Ar/O_{2}$, and RF power density of PLT thin films were $580^{\circ}C$ 10mTorr, 10/1, and $1.7W/cm^{2}$, respectively. In these conditions, the c-axis growth and tetragonality of the PLT thin films decreased for addition of La content and the PLT thin films showed diffuse phase transition from high temperature XRD patterns. The infrared sensor was fabricated. The remanent polarization was above $1.71{\mu}C/cm^{2}$ and the pyroelectric voltage was above 500mV with 10:1 signal to noise ratio.

Recently, various new services based on ubiquitous computing and networking have been developed. In this paper, we contrive Adaptive PIR(Pyroelectric Infrared Radiation) Detection Algorithm (APIDA), a PIR-sensor based digital signal processing algorithm, that detects the movement of an invading object by the recognition of heat change in the detection area, since the object like person or car emits heat(i.e., infrared radition), We devised APIDA as a highly reliable signal processing algorithm that increases the successful detection rate and decreases the false alarm rate in the intruding object detection. According to performance evaluation experiment, APIDA shows the successful detection rate of 90% and low false alarm in the plain area.

Dielectric characteristics of P(VDF/TrFE) film manufactured using spin coating technique have been investigated. To improve the crystallinity and quality of film, the film was three step annealed. Simple etching process and conditions for P(VDF/TrFE) film were established using top electrode as a mask. Poling is performed by several steps. $1.87\;{\mu}m$ thick P(VDF/TrFE) films were obtained with conditions such that the solution of 10 wt% concentration was spun at 3000rpm for 30 seconds. Before poling, dielectric constant and dielectric loss of P(VDF/TrFE) film were 13.5 and 0.042, respectively. After poling, dielectric constant and dielectric loss of P(VDF/TrFE) film were 11.5 and 0.037, respectively.
