Simple, small and portable oxygen sensors were fabricated by tape casting technique. Yttria stabilized zirconia containing cordierite ceramics (YSZC) were used as a porous diffused layer of oxygen in pumping cell. Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) solid electrolyte, YSZC porous diffusion layer and heater-patterned ceramic sheets were prepared by co- firing method. Limit current characteristics and the linear relationship of current to oxygen concentration were observed. Viscosity variation of the slurries both YSZ and YSZC showed a similar behavior, but micro pores in the fired sheet were increased with increasing of the cordierite amount. Molecular diffusion was dominated due to the formation of large pores in porous diffusion layer. The plateau range of limit current in porous-type oxygen sensor was narrow than the one of aperture-type oxygen sensor. However limit current curve was appeared in porous-type oxygen sensor even at the lower applied voltage. The plateau range of limit-current was widen as increasing the thickness of porous diffusion layer of the YSZ containing cordierite. Measuring temperature of $600{\sim}650^{\circ}C$ was recommended for limit-current oxygen sensor. Porous diffusion layer-type oxygen sensor showed faster response than the aperture-type one and was stable up to 30 days running without any crack at interface between the layers.

This study used a single metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensor to classify the major odorous gases hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$), ammonia ($NH_3$) and toluene ($C_6H_5CH_3$). In order to classify these odorous substances, the voltage on the MOS sensor heater was gradually reduced in 0.5 V steps 5.0 V to examine the changes to the response by the cooling effect on the sensor as the voltage decreased. The hydrogen sulfide gas showed the highest sensitivity compared to odorless air under approximately 2.5 V and the ammonia and toluene gases showed the highest sensitivity under approximately 5.0 V. In other words, the hydrogen sulfide gas reacted better in the low temperature range of the MOS sensor, and the ammonia and toluene gases reacted better in the high-temperature range. In order to analyze the response characteristics of the MOS sensor by temperature in a pattern, a two-dimensional (2D) x-y pattern analysis was introduced to clearly classify the hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and toluene gases. The hydrogen sulfide gas was identified by a straight line with a slope of 1.73, whereas the ammonia gas had a slope of 0.05 and the toluene gas had a slope of 0.52. Therefore, the 2D x-y pattern analysis is suggested as a new way to classify these odorous substances.

In this study, a new potentiometric sensor selective to copper(II) ions was developed and characterized. The developed sensor has a polymeric membrane and contains 4.0% electroactive material (ionophore), 33.0% poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), 63.0% bis(2-ethylhexyl)sebacate (BEHS) and 1.0% potassium tetrakis(p-chlorophenyl)borate (KTpClPB). This novel copper(II)-selective sensor exhibits a Nernstian response over a wide concentration range from 1.0×10^-6 to 1.0×10^-1 mol L^-1 with a slope of 29.6 (±1.2) mV decade^-1, and a lower detection limit of 8.75×10-7 mol L^-1. The sensor, which was produced economically by synthesizing the ionophore in the laboratory, has a good selectivity and repeatability, fast response time and stable potentiometric behaviour. The potential response of the sensor remains unaffected of pH in the range of 5.0-10.0. Based on the analytical applications of the sensor, we showed that it can be used as an indicator electrode in the quantification of Cu²⁺ ions by potentiometric titration against EDTA, and can also be successfully utilized for the determination of copper(II) ions in different real samples.

센서 네트워크는 보통 넓은 지역에 조밀하게 센서 노드들이 분포되어 있는 형태로 구성된다. 이런 센서 노드들은 광활한 지역에 분포되는 관계로 초기에 헬기 등 기타 항공기를 이용해서 뿌려지는 것이 일반적이다. 각 센서 노드들은 특정 임무를 수행하며 획득된 정보를 자신의 위치 정보와 함께 최종 사용자에게 전달되는 형태로 운용된다. 여기서 노드들의 위치 정보가 필요하다. 본 논문은 센서 네트워크에서 헬기의 비콘 신호를 이용하여 센서 노드 사이의 거리정보를 필요로 하지 않는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 센서 노드들은 위치를 계산하기 위해 헬기가 보내주는 주기적인 비콘 신호를 수신한다. 비콘 신호를 메모리에 저장하고 있다가 조건에 만족하는 다른 비콘 신호가 수신되면 이를 통해 자신의 위치를 추측한다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 기하학적 성질(현의 수직이등분)을 이용하였다. 기존에 존재하는 range-free 방식의 알고리즘과 비교 분석을 통해 제안하는 알고리즘의 정밀성을 입증하였다.

Purpose: Automated guidance systems (AGSs) for mobile farm machinery have several advantages over manual operation in the crop production industry. Many researchers and companies have tried to develop such a system. However, it is not easy to evaluate the performance of an AGS because there is no established device used to evaluate it that complies with the ISO 12188 standard. The objective of this study was to develop a tracking sensor system using five laser distance measurement sensors. Methods: One sensor-for long-range distance measurement-was used to measure travel distance and velocity. The other four sensors-for mid-range distance measurement-were used to measure lateral deviation. Stationary, manual driving, and A-B line tests were conducted, and the results were compared with the real-time kinematic differential global positioning system (RTK-DGPS) signal used by the AGS. Results: For the stationary test, the average error of the tracking sensor system was 1.99 mm, and the average error of the RTK-DGPS was 15.19 mm. For the two types of driving tests, the data trends were similar. A comparison of the changes in lateral deviation showed that the data stability of the developed tracking system was better. Conclusions: Although the tracking system was not capable of measuring long travel distances under strong sunlight illumination because of the long-range sensor's limitations, this dilemma could be overcome using a higher-performance sensor.

This paper proposes a method of container position measurement using automatic landing system that is estimated by a laser range finder. In the most of container position measurement methods, CCD cameras or laser scanners have been used to get the source data. However those sensors are not only weak for disturbances, for examples, the light, fog, and rain, but also the system cost is high. When the spreader arrives at the goal position, it is still swung by inertia or by wind effect. In this paper, the spreader swung data have been used to find the container position. The laser range finder is equipped in the front side of spreader. It can measure distance and relative position between spreader and container. This laser range finder can be rotated as desired by a motor. And a tilt sensor is equipped on the spreader to measure spreader sway. The relative position information between the spreader and a container using the laser range finder and tilt sensor is estimated through the geometrical analysis.

센서 네트워크는 온도, 습도 등 서로 연관된 여러 종류의 스칼라 데이타를 감지하기 때문에, 다차원 영역 질의가 유용하게 사용된다. 그리고 데이타 기반 센서 네트워크에서는 데이타가 센서에 직접 저장되기 때문에, 다차원 데이타를 효율적으로 관리하기 위해서는 데이타 주소 지정이 매우 중요하다. 이전의 다차원 영역 질의 처리 기법들은 데이타를 효율적으로 관리하는데 집중하여, 네트워크의 동작 시간(수명)을 고려하지 않았다. 본 논문은 Hilbert 곡선을 이용하여 센서 노드들을 선형화하고, 각 센서에게 데이타 공간을 균일하게 배분시키는, 동적인 데이타 분산 기법을 사용함으로써 네트워크 동작 시간을 연장시키는 방법을 제안한다.

본 논문에서는 무인 지상 차량의 (Unmanned Ground Vehicle, UGV)의 위치 추정을 위한 컴퓨터 비전 기술을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 연속적으로 획득되는 360도 거리 정보(range data)와 디지털 수치모델(Digital Surface Model, 이하 DSM)의 3차원 등록(3-D registration) 방법에 기반하고 있다. 많은 수의 3차원 점군(point clouds) 정보를 가지고 있는 거리 정보의 연속적 3차원 등록은 상당한 수행 시간을 필요로 한다. 실시간 위치 추정을 위해 우리는 투영 기반의 등록 방법과 Uniform Arc Length Sampling(이하 UALS) 방법을 제안한다. UALS는 거리영상에서의 GSD(ground sample distance)를 균일하게 유지하면서 동시에 3차원 샘플 포인트의 수를 줄일 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한 투영 기반 등록 기술은 3차원 대응점의 탐색 시간을 감소시킨다. 두 개의 실제 항법 경로를 이용한 실험을 통하여 제안하는 방법의 성능을 검증하였다. 3차원 점군의 다양한 샘플링에 대하여 제안하는 기술의 속도 및 정합 성능을 기존 방법과 비교하였다.

The distance vector-hop wireless sensor node location method is one of typical range-free location methods. In distance vector-hop location method, if a wireless node A can directly communicate with wireless sensor network nodes B and C at its communication range, the hop count from wireless sensor nodes A to B is considered to be the same as that form wireless sensor nodes A to C. However, the real distance between wireless sensor nodes A and B may be dissimilar to that between wireless sensor nodes A and C. Therefore, there may be a discrepancy between the real distance and the estimated hop count distance, and this will affect wireless sensor node location error of distance vector-hop method. To overcome this problem, it proposes a wireless sensor network node location method by modifying the method of distance estimation in the distance vector-hop method. Firstly, we set three different communication powers for each node. Different hop counts correspond to different communication powers; and so this makes the corresponding relationship between the real distance and hop count more accurate, and also reduces the distance error between the real and estimated distance in wireless sensor network. Secondly, distance difference between the estimated distance between wireless sensor network anchor nodes and their corresponding real distance is computed. The average value of distance errors that is computed in the second step is used to modify the estimated distance from the wireless sensor network anchor node to the unknown sensor node. The improved node location method has smaller node location error than the distance vector-hop algorithm and other improved location methods, which is proved by simulations.

가변감지범위를 갖는 무선센서네트워크의 수명연장을 위한 센서 노드의 전원 관리에서 요구되는 최대집합 커버문제를 유전자알고리즘을 이용하여 해결하였다. 기존의 경험적 탐용법(greedy heuristic method)에서는 네트워크의 동작 중 스케줄링을 반복 수행하므로 센서노드의 통신량이 증가한다. 제안한 방법에는 센서 노드의 통신 트래픽을 감소시켜 노드의 에너지 소모를 절약하여 네트워크의 수명을 연장하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안한 방법의 유효성을 확인했으며 통신동작의 에너지 소모를 고려할 때 네트워크의 수명 이 약 10% 증가하였다.
