본 논문에서는 IoT (Internet of Things) 서비스 구현을 위한 스마트센서의 설계 방안을 연구하였다. 지속적인 데이터 수집을 위한 센서의 전원 공급부는 에너지 하베스팅 (Energy Harvesting) 기술을 적용하였으며, 주변 환경으로부터 영향을 줄일 수 있는 압전소자 (piezoelectric transducer)를 선택하여 전원 공급부를 설계하였다. 데이터 전송을 위한 무선통신 인터페이스는 BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) 기술을 적용하여 설계하였다. BLE는 저전력 단거리 무선 통신에 적합하며, 주요 응용분야인 BLE 비콘 (beacon)은 O2O (Online to Offline) 서비스, 실내 측위 기반의 내비게이터, 도난/미아 방지 서비스에서 모바일 게임 등으로 활용 범위가 확대되고 있다. BLE 무선통신의 짧은 전송 거리를 보완하기 위해 무선 커버리지를 확대할 수 있는 방안을 연구하였으며, 네트워크 구축이 용이하고 무선 커버리지 확대할 수 있는 CATV 망을 활용한 BLE 센서 네트워크 구축 방안을 제안하였다.

Key components of implantable hearing aids are consist of an acoustic sensor that collect external sound by suppressing the body noise, a signal processor module for compensation algorithm of hearing loss, and a output transducer which has tiny size but have high efficiency, respectively. In the partial implantable hearing aids, technologies of transducer and signal processor are so matured that can be applied not too much difficulty. However, due to the difficulties in implantable acoustic sensor technology, such as minimization of masticatory sound and damage of sensor's membrane from external impact, practical use of fully implantable hearing aids have not successful so far. In this paper, we have proposed a novel implantable acoustic sensor which has trans-tympanic structure, and is verified that the proposed method can be very useful for fully implantable hearing aids by cadaveric experiments.

Teach pendant is the most widely used means of robot teaching at present. Despite the difficulties of using the motion command buttons on the teach pendant, it is an economical, robust, and effective device for robot teaching task. This paper presents the development of a force/moment direction sensor named COSMO that can improve the teach pendant based robot teaching. Robot teaching experiment of a six axis commercial robot using the sensor is described where operator holds the sensor with a hand, and move the robot by pushing, pulling, and twisting the sensor in the direction of the desired motion. No prior knowledge of the coordinate system is required. The function of the COSMO sensor is to detect the presence f force and moment along the principal axes of the sensor coordinate system. The transducer used in the sensor is micro-switch, and this intuitive robot teaching can be implemented at a very low cost.

A new type of transducer, piezoelectric floating mass transducer (PFMT) which has advantages of piezoelectric and electromagnetic transducer has been proposed and implemented for the implantable middle ear hearing devices. By the uneven bonding of piezoelectric material to the inner bottom of transducer case, the PFMT can vibrate back-and-forth along the longitudinal axis of the transducer even though the piezoelectric material within the cylindrical case produces only the bilateral expansion and contraction according to the applied electrical signal. To improve efficiency of the PFMT, the multi-layered piezoelectric material has been adapted. The small number of components in the PFMT enables the simple manufacturing and the easy implanting into the middle ear. In order to examine the characteristics of vibration, mechanical modeling and finite element analyses of the proposed transducer have been performed. From the result of theoretical analyses and the measured data from the experiment, it is verified that the implemented PFMT can be used in implantable middle ear hearing devices.

In this study, the ultrasonic transducer was fabricated with piezoceramic-polymer 1-3 type composites. Pulse-echo response of that transducer in water was investigated with variable water-level. Output of LED was under the control of the signal, which was analyzerd by the self-made Electric Unit. This paper represents automatically water-detecting system with variable water level. There was in good agreement water level between the virtual level and output signal by using the self-made water-detecting system.

A disk photo sensor system was constructed and installed on engine for the crank angle measurement. Statically measured TDC crank angle data were compared with those obtained from engine motoring. Two groups of cylinder pressure data were compared each other, one measured by pressure transducer mounted flush on the combustion chamber and the other obtained with the help of spark plug type adaptor. A simple analysis on the gas flow in the spark plug type pressure transducer displayed reasonably good agreement with those from engine motoring tests. In various firing tests, the IMERs obtained from the spark plug type pressure transducer turned out to be higher than those from the flush mounted one at low engine speed while those two were nearly the same at high engine speed. As the engine load decreased the relative difference in IMEP measurement between the two types tended to be enlarged.

통상의 수중 음향 트랜스듀서는 음압의 크기만 측정할 뿐, 외부에서 들어오는 음향 신호의 방향은 파악할 수 없는 한계가 있다. 이에 본 논문의 저자들은 Tonpilz 트랜스듀서를 바탕으로 단일체로서 음압의 크기와 방향을 동시에 탐지해 낼 수 있는 새로운 벡터 센서구조를 제안하였다. 제안된 구조에는 압전세라믹 링이 4등분되어 있으며, 외부 음압에 대한 각 세라믹 조각의 출력전압을 적절히 조합하면 음원의 방향을 파악할 수 있는 특징을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 구조를 가지는 Tonpilz 벡터센서를 제작하고 그 특성을 실험적으로 측정하여, 제안된 구조의 타당성을 확인하였다.

In this paper, an ultrasonic level limit sensor with a new structure utilizing the acoustic impedance matching is proposed to be able to check it out a change of water-level. 2 PZT resonators with the same property are bonded directly on the polyethylene plate. One is for transmitter as an ultrasonic transducer, the other one is for receiver. In this case, a polyethylene plate will operate as an acoustic guider to transmit a transverse wave between 2 PZT resonators in air. While in the water, a polyethylene plate having a similar acoustic impedance with the water will be emitted an acoustic energy into the water as a longitudinal wave. According to this mechanism, there was a wide difference of acoustic signal output between underwater and in air. As a summary, it is believed that this proposed level limit sensor could be used as a new one with strong toughness from the external electrical and mechanical noise.
