The ultrasonic velocities of sintered aluminum with varying density were measured in order to deduce the mechanical properties for optimum design of the sintered aluminum. Specimens with different densities were prepared by the plasma activated sintering machine. The density distribution of sintered aluminum becomes partially inhomogeneous because of the friction between the powder and the die during compaction. The elastic moduli are increased as the ultrasonic velocity is increased. Furthermore, Poisoon's ratio is depending on not only the density but also the size and distribution of voids. As the specimen's thickness increases, the center frequency in the frequency spectrum of the reflection wave is shifted to the low frequency. The attenuation coefficient of ultrasonic wave is decreased inversely as the density increased.

A 440MHz wireless and passive surface acoustic wave (SAW) based micro-sensor was developed for simultaneous measurement of temperature and humidity. The developed sensor is composed of a SAW reflective delay lines structured by an IDT (Inter-Digital Transducer), four reflectors and humidity sensitive film (polyimide). Polyimide was dry-ecthed by RIE (Reactive Ion Etching) to obtain high roughness, which gives the large reaction area resulting in high sensitivity. In wireless testing using a network analyzer, sharp reflection peaks with high S/N ratio, small signal attenuation, and few spurious peaks were observed in the time domain. High sensitivity towards the temperature and humidiy were also observed in the large concentration range. The obtained sensitivity was $16.8^{\circ}/^{\circ}C$ for temperature sensor and $15.8^{\circ}$/%RH for humidity sensor.

A technique on the detection of tool wear based on the ultrasonic pulse-echo method in turning process is presented. The change in amount of the reflected energy from nose and flank of the tool can be related to the level of tool wear and mechanical integrity of the tool, that is, there exists an excellent correlation between the ultrasonic measurement and tool wear. As a results, the method is very useful for the prediction of cutting tool life and the determination of tool exchange period.

The spatial focusing of time reversal Lamb waves on a plate has attracted considerable attention for identifying the location of an input source. This study investigates the spatial focusing performance on a plate with respect to the number of piezoelectric (PZT) sensors for varying locations of input sources. In particular, a small number of PZT sensors produce spatial focusing through the virtual sensor effect due to reflection of Lamb waves at plate edges. The spatial focusing performance with respect to the number of PZT sensors is quantified in terms of signal to noise ratio through numerical simulation and its implication is discussed.

Intravenous(IV) therapy being in use for many patients may cause serious side effects such as infiltration, extravasation. To minimize such side effects, it is important to detect symptoms appearing when fluid escapes from blood vessel to tissue as soon as possible. This paper describes a device which has been developed to detect IV infiltration early using optical sensor. The device detects IV infiltration as measuring intensity of lights reflected from that lights after emitting lights in IV therapy site. The lights are consisted of 4 different waves which provide different reflection ratio depending the fluid used in IV therapy. The experimental results show that the device can be used to detect IV infiltration early.

We investigated the effects of pulsed magnetic fields (PMF) stimulus on electroencephalogram (EEG) alpha activity and heart rate variability (HRV) from electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements with various stimulus durations at acupoint PC9. The alpha activity in the EEG and the ratio of low frequency power and high frequency power (LHR) in the HRV, a reflection of sympathovagal activity, were increased and decreased, respectively, after PMF stimulus of 3 min. Our spectral analysis quantitatively proved that the changes in the EEG alpha activity were consistent with an autonomic function in the ECG. These findings suggest that appropriate PMF stimulus results in the same effect as that of acupuncture applied to the acupoint PC9, which is closely related to the parasympathetic activity of the autonomic nervous system.

In this paper, in order to make a desired velocity and moving pattern of soccer robot, we Propose the speed control function with several parameters which represent the reflection ratio of distance and angle error etc. These parameter influence on the determining the speed and moving path of soccer robot. And we propose the searching method for these parameters by using genetic algorithms. As a result of finding the optimal parameter, we can move the robot more quickly in accordance with objective under variable environment.

An analysis method of electromagnetic scattering from periodic patch array of double-dipole elements on a grounded dielectric substrate in case of oblique incident and arbitrary polarization is considered. The basis functions are chosen to be entire consinusoidal functions are chosen to be entire consinusoidal functions covering the rectangular shaped domain in which the original dipoles are inscribed, unlike the conventional method in which basis functions are defined only for the conducting element region. To confirm the validity of the proposed analysis method, we calculate the normalized scattered power for two propagating modes and compare the results with those obtained by the previous numerical method for the double dipole elements of rectangular type and parallelogram type which have the property of frequency scanned reflection and polarizer. Good correspondence has been observed between them. Some numerical results such as variation of power and axial ratio of first-order diffracted wave by a periodic array of double-dipole elements are compared with previous results.

This thesis is concerned with basic research for development of EM wave absorbers in sheet type for mobile phones. By controlling the sendust ratio, the $Al(OH)_3$ coating, the thickness, the kind of binders, EM wave absorbers were prepared and examined. Centeral frequency shifts toward lower with increasing thickness of the absorber, and absorption ability controlled to adjust Sendust amount. The absorption band of the EM wave absorber coated with $Al(OH)_3$ becomes larger than that of non-coated one. Sendust composite microwave absorbers mixed with CPE were prepared at $70^{\circ}C$ in temperature. The fabricated EM wave absorbers show a reflection coefficient 5.56 dB at 1.8 GHz in thickness of 0.85 mm.
