Hydrophobic polymer [ex. Poly(vinylidenfluoride)] layer was coated on polyaniline (PANi) sensor to reduce the contamination humidity. The differences in sensitivity to methanol gas detection in various humidity condition between pure-PANi sensor and sensor coated with poly(vinylidenfluoride) polymer (PVDF) (coated-PANi sensor) were investigated. Considering the relation between the density of pore, which was coated on the layer of the PANi sensor, and sensitivity was investigated. To fabricate the porous PVDF layer on PANi sensor, poly(vinylalcohol) (PVA), which is water-soluble polymer, was used. Coated-PANi sensor was less affected by humidity compared with pure-PANi sensor. And higher density of pore on PVDF layer led to higher sensitivity.

A new fabrication method of FBG sensor with gage length shorter than 10 mm is introduced using the reflection prism with special coating on the surface. It is verified that the bandwidth of FBG sensor increases exponentially as the gage length of it decreases. The transverse stress and strain gradient induced by local stress concentration which occurs during curing has an influence on the FBG sensor with gage length of 2 mm less than that of 10 mm.

A Temperature sensor system in which the digital output signal is proportional to the operating temperature is designed. The temperature sensor system is designed by using BiCMOS technology and consists of temperature sensor, voltage-to-frequency converter and counter. The proposed temperature sensor system has error less than $1^{\circ}C$ in the temperature range $-25^{\circ}C$ to $55^{\circ}C$.

Most serious stroke patients have the paralysis on their wrists, and can't use their hands freely. But their wrists can be recovered by rehabilitation exercises. Recently, professional rehabilitation therapeutists help stroke patients exercise their wrists in hospital. But it is difficult for them to rehabilitate their wrists, because the therapeutists are much less than stroke patients in number. Therefore, the wrist twist-exercise rehabilitation robot that can measure the twist force of the patients' wrists is needed and developed. In this paper, the six-axis force/moment sensor was designed appropriately for the robot. As a test result, the interference error of the six-axis force/moment sensor was less than 0.85%. It is thought that the sensor can be used to measure the wrist twist force of the patient.

This paper proposes a method for estimating the location of a magnetized tip that is inside a non-transparent space or body by using arrayed giant magnetoresistance (GMR) sensors. In general, an object located in such an opaque space can be detected using X-rays, magnetic fields, ultra-sonic sensors, etc., depending on its characteristics. X-ray is mostly used for medical purposes but frequent exposure to it could cause harm to patients as well as doctors. In this study, how well a GMR sensor is applicable instead of an X-ray is investigated. The sensor's voltage output is experimentally fitted to distance with a relationship of 3rd degree polynomial. To detect a small magnetized tip with 900 Oe inside a human body, a 2×2 arrayed GMR sensor and a location estimation algorithm based on information acquired from four sensors is developed. Evaluation tests show that the suggested method is applicable to limited cases with a distance less than 33-55 mm, and the location of a magnet tip is estimated relatively well with an error less than 1.5 mm.

With the advent of the Information Age, the source identification of digital images, as a part of digital image forensics, has attracted increasing attention. Therefore, an effective technique to identify the source of digital images is urgently needed at this stage. In this paper, first, we study and implement some previous work on image source identification based on sensor pattern noise, such as the Lukas method, principal component analysis method and the random subspace method. Second, to extract a purer sensor pattern noise, we propose a sample selection method to improve the random subspace method. By analyzing the image texture feature, we select a patch with less complexity to extract more reliable sensor pattern noise, which improves the accuracy of identification. Finally, experiment results reveal that the proposed sample selection method can extract a purer sensor pattern noise, which further improves the accuracy of image source identification. At the same time, this approach is less complicated than the deep learning models and is close to the most advanced performance.

This paper describes the design of the force measuring system for an industrial robot's deburring work. The force measuring system is composed of a three-axis force sensor, a measuring device, a housing and a cover. The three-axis force sensor can detect x-direction force, y-direction force and z-direction force at the same time. The measuring device is designed using DSP(Digital Signal Processor), and have a RS-232 and a RS-485 communication port for sending force data to PC or other controller. As a result of test, the repeatability error and the non-lineality error of the three-axis force sensor are less than 0.03%, and the interference error of the sensor is less than 0.95%. It is thought that the force measuring system can be used for an industrial robot's deburring work.

무선인체센서네트워크(WBSN: Wireless Body Sensor Network)은 일반적으로 무선인체네트워크(WBAN: Wireless Body Area Networks)라고도 불리는데, 일종의 무선센서네트워크(WSN: Wireless Sensor Network)의 응용 중에 하나로, 인간의 신체에 이식되거나 착용하는 형태의 감지노드들로 인체 가까이에 설치된다. WBSN에 설치된 각 노드로부터 측정된 데이터는 싱크 노드에서 인체 상태를 분석하기 위하여 사용되는데, 다른 무선센서네트워크 응용과 마찬가지로 노드와 싱크 노드는 서로 동기화되어야 한다. 무선센터네트워크에서 동작하는 여러시각 동기화 프로토콜이 제안되어왔으나 WBSN에 적용하기에는 부적합하다. 이 논문에서는 WBSN의 특성을 고려하여 새로운 시각 동기화 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안한 프로토콜은 간단할뿐만 아니라 전력 소모가 작아 네트워크의 수명을 오랫동안 유지할 수 있게 한다. 제안 방안의 성능을 시뮬레이션을 통해 평가하였으며, WBSN에서 구현하기에 적합함을 보였다.

In order to reduce the distribution cost of sensor nodes, a mobile sensor deployment has been proposed. The mobile sensor deployment can be solved by finding the optimal layout and planning the movement of sensor nodes with minimum energy consumption. However, previous studies have not sufficiently addressed these issues with an efficient way. Therefore, we propose a new deployment approach satisfying these features, namely a tree-based approach. In the tree-based approach, we propose three matching schemes. These matching schemes match each sensor node to a vertex in a rake tree, which can be trivially transformed to the target layout. In our experiments, the tree-based approach successfully deploys the sensor nodes in the optimal layout and consumes less energy than previous works.

본 논문에서는 입력전압을 감지하지 않는 전류연속/임계동작모드 active power factor correction(PFC) circuit을 제안하였다. 기존의 입력전압을 감지하지 않는 PFC circuit의 경우 출력전류가 낮은 경 부하 조건에서 DCM 동작을 수행하고, 이에 따라 PF가 감소하는 문제가 발생한다. 제안한 PFC circuit은 70KHz의 주파수로 CCM 동작을 수행하고, 경 부하 조건에서 최대 200KHz까지 스위칭 주파수가 가변되는 CRM 동작을 수행하도록 하였다. 이를 통해 경 부하 조건에서 PF가 감소하는 문제를 해결하였다. PFC controller IC는 $0.35{\mu}m$ BCDMOS 공정을 이용하여 제작하였으며, 240W급 PFC prototype을 제작하여 실험하였다. 제안한 PFC circuit은 기존의 PFC circcuit 대비 최대 10%의 역률이 향상되었고, IEC 61000-3-2 Class D 규격에 따른 경 부하 조건에서는 최대 4% 역률이 향상되었다.
