An on-chip current sensor with fast response time for the peak-current-mode buck regulator is proposed. The initial operating points of the peak current sensor are determined in advance by the valley current level, which is sensed by a valley current sensor. As a result, the proposed current sensor achieves a fast response time of less than 20 ns, and a sensing accuracy of over 90%. Applying the proposed current sensor, the peak-current-mode buck regulator for the mobile application is realized with an operating frequency of 2 MHz, an output voltage of 0.8 V, a maximum load current of 500 mA, and a peak efficiency of over 83%.

With advances in sensor technology, current researches on the pertinent techniques are actively directed toward the way which enables the USN computing service. For many applications using sensor networks, the incoming data are by nature characterized as high-speed, continuous, real-time and infinite. Due to such uniqueness of sensor data characteristics, for some instances a finite-sized buffer may not accommodate the entire incoming data, which leads to inevitable loss of data, and requirement for fast processing makes it impossible to conduct a thorough investigation of data. In addition to the potential problem of loss of data, incoming data in its raw form may exhibit high degree of complexity which evades simple query or alerting services for capturing and extracting useful information. Furthermore, as traditional mining techniques are developed to handle fixed, static historical data, they are not useful and directly applicable for analyzing the sensor data. In this paper, (1) describe how three mining techniques (sensor data outlier analysis, sensor pattern analysis, and sensor data prediction analysis) are appropriate for the USN middleware structure, with their application to the stream data in ocean environment. (2) Another proposal is a middleware structure based on USN environment adaptive to above mining techniques. This middleware structure includes sensor nodes, sensor network common interface, sensor data processor, sensor query processor, database, sensor data mining engine, user interface and so on.

In this paper, we fabricate arrayed-type flexible capacitive touch sensor using liquid metal (LM) droplets (4 mm spatial resolution). Poly-4-vinylphenol (PVP) layer is used as a dielectric layer on the electrode patterned Polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) film. Bonding tests between hydroxyl group (-OH) on the PVP film and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) are conducted in a various $O_2$ plasma treatment conditions. Through the tests, we can confirm that non-$O_2$ plasma treated PVP layer and $O_2$ plasma treated PDMS can make a chemical bond. To measure dynamic range of the device, one-cell experiments are conducted and we confirmed that the fabricated device has a large dynamic range (~60 pF).

Predictive IoT Sensor Algorithm is a technique of data science that helps computers learn from existing data to predict future behaviors, outcomes, and trends. This algorithm is a cloud predictive analytics service that makes it possible to quickly create and deploy predictive models as analytics solutions. Sensors and computers collect and analyze data. Using the time series prediction algorithm helps to predict future temperature. The application of this IoT in industrial environments like power plants and factories will allow organizations to process much larger data sets much faster and precisely. This rich source of sensor data can be networked, gathered and analyzed by super smart software which will help to detect problems, work more productively. Using predictive IoT technology - sensors and real-time monitoring - can help organizations exactly where and when equipment needs to be adjusted, replaced or how to act in a given situation.

Piezoelectricity is defined as the ability of certain materials to produce electric signals when mechanically stressed or to deform when an electrical potential is applied. Piezo technology is becoming increasingly crucial as intelligent devices use vibration sensors to detect vibrations in consumer electronics, the automotive industry, architectural design, and other applications. A wide range of applications is now possible with piezoelectric sensors, such as skin-attachable devices that monitor health and detect diseases. In this article, copper nanoparticles are used in the piezoelectric sensor as the driving agent of the magnetic field. Magnetic nanocatalysts containing copper nanoparticles are used due to their cheapness and availability. Considering that the increase of the electric field acting on the piezoelectric increases the damping (As a result, damping materials reduce radiation noise and increase material transfer losses by altering the natural vibration frequency of the vibrating surface). Among the advantages of this method are depreciating a significant amount of input energy using high energy absorption capacity and controlling slight vibrations in the sensors.

As modern megalopolises become more complex and huge, convenience and safety of citizens are main components for a welfare state. In order to make safe society, telemetrics technology, which remotely measures the information of target system using electronic devices, is an essential component. In general, telemetrics technology consists of USN (ubiquitous sensor network) based on a wireless network, smart sensor, and SoC (system on chip). In the smart sensor technology, the following two problems should be overcome. Firstly, because it is very difficult for transducer manufacturers to develop smart sensors that support all the existing network protocols, the smart sensor must be independent of the type of networking protocols. Secondly, smart sensors should be modular so that a faulty sensor element can be replaced without replacing healthy communication element. To solve these problems, this paper investigates the feasibility of an IEEE 1451 based ZigBee smart sensor system. More specifically, a smart sensor for large network coverage has been developed using ZigBee for active telemetrics.

An ultraviolet pulsed laser ablation of polyimide film coated with platinum has been used to enhance the sensitivity for the application as an electrochemical biosensor. Densely packed cones are formed on polyimide surface after UV irradiation which results in increase of surface area. In order to apply the sensitivity improvement of laser ablated polyimide film electrodes, the glucose oxidase modified biosensor was fabricated by using an encapsulation in the gel matrix through sol-gel transition of tetraethoxysliane on the surface of laser ablated polyimide film. The optimum conditions for glucose determination have been characterized with respect to the applied potential and pH. The linear range and detection limit of glucose detection were from 2.0 mM to 18.0 mM and 0.18 mM, respectively. The sensitivity of glucose biosensors fabricated with laser ablated polyimide film is about three times higher than that of plain polyimide film due to increase in surface area by laser ablation.

This paper investigated the design method of the smart sensor for implementing IoT (Internet of Things) service. The power supply of sensor consistently acquisting data is based on the energy harvesting technology and designed with piezoelectric transducer not affected by surrounding circumstances. The wireless communication interface for the transmission of data is designed with BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). BLE is highly adequate wireless communication technology for low power consumption and short distance wireless communication. The main application of BLE is beacon whose usage range is extended from O2O (Online to Offline) service, navigator based on indoor positioning technology, and anti-theft/lost child prevention service to mobile game. This paper studied the method to extend wireless coverage for complementing the short wireless transmission distance of BLE. The wireless sensor network based on CATV network is proposed for the easy construction of BLE sensor network and extended wireless coverage.
