Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN) environments, sensors and sensor nodes, and coming from heterogeneous sensor networks consist of one another, the characteristics of each component are also very diverse. Thus the sensor and the sensor nodes to interoperability between metadata for a single definition, management is very important. For this, the standard language for modeling sensor SensorML (Sensor Model Language) has. In this paper, sensor devices, sensor nodes and sensor networks for information technology in the application stage XMDR-DAI -based metadata to define the USN. The proposed XMDR-DAI USN based store and retrieve metadata for a method for effectively agent technology. Metadata of the proposed sensor is based SensorML USN environment by maintaining interoperability 50-200 USN middleware or a metadata management system for managing metadata in applications can be utilized directly.

This paper proposes an application of sliding mode observer to the problem of fault detection and reconstruction for descriptor systems with both actuator and sensor faults. In detecting and reconstructing the faults simultaneously, first, we will consider the fault detection problem for sensor fault. The detection of sensor fault is achieved from the design of the matrix which eliminates the influence of actuator fault. Secondly, the sliding mode observer which adds the general full-order observer for descriptor system to feedforward injection map and feedforward compensation signal is designed, and through which the sensor fault is reconstructed. Finally, with the reconstructed sensor fault, and by eliminating differential term of the sensor fault, the actuator fault is detected and reconstructed.

Smartphones are fast growing in the IT market and are the most influential devices in our daily life. Smartphones are being studied for their use in body sensor networks with excellent processing power and wireless communication technology. In this paper, we propose a coordinator design that provides data collection, classification, and display using based on Android-smartphone in multiple sensor nodes. The coordinator collects data of sensor nodes that measure biological patterns using wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth and NFC. The coordinator constructs a network using a multiple-level scheduling algorithm for efficient data collection at multiple sensor nodes. Also, to support different protocols between heterogeneous sensors, a data sheet recording wireless communication protocol information is used. The designed coordinator used Arduino to test the performance of multiple sensor node environments.

Biofouling causes many problem in industrial processes, medical health industries, water utilities and our daily life. So detecting formation of biofilm on the surface of medical appliance, water pipe and industrial utility is highly important to prevent the problem caused by biofouling. In this study, we suggest an electrochemical sensor for detecting biofilm. We fabricated the electrochemical sensor in MEMS process and cultivated two different kinds of Pseudomonas aeruginosa RpoN type and Wild type on the surface of electrochemical sensor. Each group of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was cultivated according to the hours of 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24. Then we investigated changes in degree of biofilm cultivation using cyclic voltammetry. As a result, it was observed that peak of the cyclic voltammetry curve is increased according as the biofilm growth on the surface of electrochemical sensor. Also we can discern between Pseudomonas aeruginosa RpoN type and Wild type.

The work described in this study concerns the development of a disposable amperometric sensor for the electrochemical detection of a well-known aqueous pollutant, free available chlorine (FAC). The FAC sensor developed used screen printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) coupled with immobilised syringaldazine, commonly used as an indicator in photometric FAC detection, which was directly immobilised on the surface of SPCEs using a photopolymer PVA-SbQ. To enable in-field analysis of FAC, a prototype hand-held electrochemical analyzer has been developed to withstand the environment with its rugged design and environmentally sealed connections; it operates from two PP3 (9 volt) batteries and is comparable in accuracy and sensitivity to commercial bench top systems. The sensitivity of the FAC sensor developed was $3.5{\;}nA{\mu}M^{-1}cm^{-2}$ and the detection limit for FAC was found to be $2.0{\;}{\mu}M$.

This paper describes development of a new displacement sensor for intelligent suspension system in which the damping force has been controlled by MR fluid. Most of the current vehicle height sensors have been installed at external place of the damper and connected to that by mechanical linkages so far. The developed sensor has a new mechanism which detects movement of the sensor rod same as connecting rod in the suspension damper by using a GMR Sensor and converts it to the relative displacement from an initial position.

This paper describes a novel sensor system for 3D world modeling of an autonomous vehicle in large-scale outdoor environments. When an autonomous vehicle performs path planning and path following, well-constructed 3D world model of target environment is very important for analyze the environment and track the determined path. To generate well-construct 3D world model, we develop a novel sensor system. The proposed novel sensor system consists of two 2D laser scanners, two single cameras, a DGPS (Differential Global Positioning System) and an IMU (Inertial Measurement System). We verify the effectiveness of the proposed sensor system through experiment in large-scale outdoor environment.

We have developed satellite devices for fine attitude control of the Science & Technology Satellite-2 (STSAT-2) scheduled to be launched in 2007. The analog sun sensors which have been continuously developed since the 1990s are not adequate for satellites which require fine attitude control system. From the mission requirements of STSAT-2, a compact, fast and fine digital sensor was proposed. The test of the fine attitude determination for the pitch and roll axis, though the main mission of STSAT-2, will be performed by the newly developed FDSS. The FDSS use a CMOS image sensor and has an accuracy of less than 0.01degrees, an update rate of 20Hz and a weight of less than 800g. A pinhole-type aperture is substituted for the optical lens to minimize the weight while maintaining sensor accuracy by a rigorous centroid algorithm. The target process speed is obtained by utilizing the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in acquiring images from the CMOS sensor, and storing and processing the data. This paper also describes the analysis of the optical performance for the proper aperture selection and the most effective centroid algorithm.

The paper presents a multi-objective optimization strategy for a multi-type sensor placement for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of long span bridges. The problem is formulated for simultaneous placement of strain sensors and accelerometers (heterogeneous network) based on application demands for SHM system. Modal Identification (MI) and Accurate Mode Shape Expansion (AMSE) were chosen as the application demands for SHM. The optimization problem is solved through the use of integer Genetic Algorithm (GA) to maximize a common metric to ensure adequate MI and AMSE. The performance of the joint optimization problem solved by GA is compared with other established methods for homogenous sensor placement. The results indicate that the use of a multi-type sensor system can improve the quality of SHM. It has also been demonstrated that use of GA improves the overall quality of the sensor placement compared to other methods for optimization of sensor placement.
