Wireless Self-Powered Temperature Sensor for UHF Sensor Tags which are basic device for construction of ubiquitous sensor network is proposed. The key parameters of the target specification are resolution of $0.1\;^{\circ}C$ per output bit, below 1.5 V of operating voltage and below 5 uW of power consumption during sensing operation. Temperature sensor circuit consists of PTAT current generator, band gap reference circuit generating both reference voltage and current, Sigma-Delta Converter, and Digital Counter. Simulated maximum resolution was $0.23\;^{\circ}C/bit$ in 11-bit output. The proposed temperature sensor was fabricated by using a 0.25 m CMOS process. The chip area is $0.32\;{\times}\;0.22\;mm$ and the operating frequency is 2 MHz. Measured resolution from fabricated temperature sensor was $4\;^{\circ}C/bit$ in 8-bit output for the temperature range from $10^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$.

Purpose: This study was performed to develop a lateral flow strip sensor for the detection of pathogenic Escherichia coli O157:H7 in various samples. Also, feasibility of using an image analysis method to improve the interpretation of the strip sensor was evaluated. Methods: The lateral flow strip sensor has been fabricated based on nitrocellulose lateral-flow membrane. Colloidal gold and E. coli O157:H7 antibodies were used as a tag and a receptor, respectively. Manually spotted E. coli O157:H7 antibody and anti-mouse antibody on nitrocellulose membrane were used as test and control dots, respectively. Feasibility of the lateral flow strip sensor to detect E. coli O157:H7 were evaluated with serially diluted E. coli O157:H7 cells in PBS or food samples. Test results of the lateral flow strip sensor were measured with an image analysis method. Results: The intensity of the test dot started to increase with higher concentration of the cells were introduced. The sensitivities of the sensor were both $10^4$ CFU/mL Escherichia coli O157:H7 spiked in PBS and in chicken meat extract, respectively. Conclusions: The lateral flow strip sensor and image analysis method could detect E. coli O157:H7 in 20 min, which is significantly quicker than conventional plate counting method.

현재 사용되고 있는 대부분의 RFID 태그는 태그가 부착되는 사물에 관한 고유한 ID 정보만을 제공하고 있으나 다양하고 고부가가치를 가지는 서비스를 제공하기 위해 온도, 습도 등과 같은 주변 환경정보에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 기존의 ID 획득만 가능한 태그에 외부 환경 정보를 습득 할 수 있는 센서와 자체 전원 공급을 위한 박형 전지 (Film battery 혹은 Paper barely)가 추가된 RFID 태그를 '센서 태그' (Smart Arrive label 혹은 RFID Sensor Tag)라고 부른다. 본 고에서는 현재 국내외에서 활발히 연구 개발되고 있는 센서 태그 기술과 이와 관련된 표준화 동향에 대해서 알아본다.

The goal of this research is to enhance the maintenance and monitoring system of ship environment using sensor network. It is important to know the location information of sensor nodes to control the sensors and to obtain the sensor data from sensor network inside the ship. In this paper, we address the grouping and routing mechanism according to the relative distance of sensor nodes, based on LEACH and PEGASIS. We also consider the fault tolerant mechanism using the location information of sensor nodes.

In the electric power industry, It is important that the supply of energy must always be guaranteed. To satisfy these requirements, various forms of technologies are needed, such as RFID tag, reader, sensor network, middleware and so on. WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) technologies of the electric power industry are in the early stage and there is no clear guideline for developing electric facility management system using WSN. Relevant experience is limited, the challenge will be to derive requirement from business practice and to determine whether it is possible or not. To explore this issue, we focus on researching and field test of prototype system in Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO). In this paper we describe requirement from power industry. And we introduce design and implementation of the power facility monitoring system.

최근 각광을 받고 있는 RFID 기술은 기존의 바코드를 대체하여 상품 관리를 네트워크화 및 지능화 함으로써 유통 및 물품 관리뿐만 아니라 보안, 안전, 환경 관리 등에 혁신을 선도할 것으로 전망되며, 이전에 존재하지 않았던 거대한 새로운 시장을 형성할 것으로 기대된다. 이러한 RFID 기술은 사물의 고유한 ID를 단순히 인식하는 읽는 기능중심에서 사물의 이력 정보를 관리할 수 있는 읽고 쓰기 기능, 그리고 전자 태그들이 자신의 고유 정보뿐만 아니라 온도, 습도, 압력 등 주변의 정보까지 감지하는 센싱 기능을 가지도록 발전할 것이다. 이와 같이 기존의 ID 획득만 가능한 태그에 외부 환경 정보를 습득할 수 있는 센서와 자체 전원 공급을 위한 박형 전지(film battery)가 추가된RFID 태그를 ‘센서 태그(smart active label 혹은 RFID sensor tag)’라고 부르며, 그방식은 크게 반능동형 방식(semi-passive 혹은 semi-active)과 능동형 방식(active)으로 구분된다. 본 고에서는 현재 국내외에서 활발히 연구 개발되고 있는 반능동형 센서 태그 기술 동향과 센서 태그 관련 국제 표준화 동향에 대해서 알아본다.

For an effective energy management in intelligent buildings it is necessary to gather information about position/absence of people and the level of population. In this paper the smart occupancy detection system based on the active RFID is developed to satisfy such a demand. The performance of the developed system is tested and verified through various experiments. Furthermore the feasibility test of the active RFID tag is performed to verify whether it can be used as a location-based occupancy sensor. The developed core technology can be also applied to other fields such as security, healthcare, smart home, etc.

The use of Radio Frequency Identification technology (RFID) in medical context enables not only drug identification, but also a rapid and precise identification of patients, physicians, nurses or any other health care related staffs. The combination of RFID tag identification with structured and secured Internet of Things (IoT) solutions enables ubiquitous and easy access to medical related records, while providing control and security to all interactions. This paper surveyed a basic security architecture, easily deployable on mobile platforms, which would allow to establish and manage a medication prescription service in mobility context making use of electronic personal health records.
