The biocontrol rhizobacterium Pseudomonas sp. M18 can produce two kinds of antibiotics, namely pyoluteorin (Plt) and phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA), and is antagonistic against a number of soilborne phytopathogens. In this study, a luxR-type quorum-sensing regulatory gene, vqsR, was identified and characterized immediately downstream of the Plt gene cluster in strain MI8. A vqsR-inactivated mutant led to a significant decrease in the production of Plt and its biosynthetic gene expression. However, this was restored when introducing the vqsR gene by cloning into the plasmid pME6032 in trans. The vqsR mutation did not exert any obvious influence on the production of PCA and its biosynthetic gene expression and the production of N-acylhomoserine lactones (C4 and C8-HSLs) and their biosynthetic gene rhlI expression. Accordingly, these results introduce VqsR as a regulator of Plt production in Pseudomonas spp., and suggest that the regulatory mechanism of vqsR in strain M18 is distinct from that in P. aeruginosa. In addition, it was demonstrated that vqsR mutation did not have any obvious impact on the expression of Plt-specific ABC transporters and other secondary metabolic global regulators, including GacA, RpoS, and RsmA.

본 연구에서는 초고분말 플라이 애시가 다량 치환된 자기감지형 그라우트의 성능을 검토하기 위하여 실험적 연구를 진행하였다. 또한 기존의 대표적인 산업부산물인 고로슬래그 미분말과 플라이 애시를 동일한 양으로 치환하여 굳지 않은 그라우트의 유동특성, 경화 그라우트에서 압축강도, 길이변화율, 전기적 특성을 평가하였다. 실험결과 초고분말 플라이 애시 치환시 소성점도가 크게 낮아져 유동성이 향상되었으며, 압축강도도 플레인보다 초기재령에서부터 높게 나타났다. 또한 전기적 특성에서도 FCR-Stress, FCR-Strain의 관계가 유사하게 나타났다.

본 논문에서는 습식 식각으로 제작된 구리 전극을 가진 다중벽 탄소나노튜브 PDMS 복합재료 변형율 센서의 전기적 특성을 고찰하였다. MWCNT의 질량분율에 따라 MWCNT-PDMS 변형율 센서를 제작한 후, 전극 부착 표면을 습식 식각한 후 은-에폭시 전도성 접착제를 이용하여 구리 박판을 부착하였다. 2-프로브 방법으로 변형율 센서의 전기 전도성을 측정한 결과, 초기 저항은 MWCNT 함량과 식각 시간에 반비례하였지만 30% 변형율에 대한 저항 변화율은 MWCNT 함량과식각 시간에 비례하였다. 100회 반복 하중 시험 후 저항 변형율 감소는 MWCNT 함량이 증가할수록 식각 시간이 짧아질수록 상대적으로 작게 나타났다. 이는 식각에 의해 MWCNT-PDMS 변형율 센서의 초기 저항 감소에 기인한 것으로 판단된다.

This review paper deals with materials, classification, and a current article investigation on smart textile sensors for wearable vital signs monitoring (WVSM). Smart textile sensors can lose electrical conductivity during vital signs monitoring when applying them to clothing. Because they should have to endure severe conditions (bending, folding, and distortion) when wearing. Imparting electrical conductivity for application is a critical consideration when manufacturing smart textile sensors. Smart textile sensors fabricate by utilizing electro-conductive materials such as metals, allotrope of carbon, and intrinsically conductive polymers (ICPs). It classifies as performance level, fabric structure, intrinsic/extrinsic modification, and sensing mechanism. The classification of smart textile sensors by sensing mechanism includes pressure/force sensors, strain sensors, electrodes, optical sensors, biosensors, and temperature/humidity sensors. In the previous study, pressure/force sensors perform well despite the small capacitance changes of 1-2 pF. Strain sensors work reliably at 1 ㏀/cm or lower. Electrodes require an electrical resistance of less than 10 Ω/cm. Optical sensors using plastic optical fibers (POF) coupled with light sources need light in-coupling efficiency values that are over 40%. Biosensors can quantify by wicking rate and/or colorimetry as the reactivity between the bioreceptor and transducer. Temperature/humidity sensors require actuating triggers that show the flap opening of shape memory polymer or with a color-changing time of thermochromic pigment lower than 17 seconds.

This paper presents the design process and evaluaation results of a two-axis force transducer for measuring flange reaction forces. A double-cantilever beam structure is used as a sensing element, and its optimal configuration is determined based on the derived strain equations to maximize the sensitivity and minimize the regid body displacements. To reduce the coupling errors between two-axis forces, strain distributions by finite elemetns analysis are utilized and the Wheaststone bridge cricuits composed of strain gages are built such that the output voltage should be zero, although strains of four strain gages are not zero. Calibration test shows that the two-azxis force transducer developed in this paper is useful in measuring flange reaction forces within the coupling error of 5.53%.

Recently, railroad construction has been increased all over the world and as the train is getting high-speeded, there has been a need for guaranteed safety, so that a requirement for heath monitoring techniques for destruction that generated by gradually accumulated damages is now increasing. Especially the rail is crucial part that contact with wheel directly and delivers the train's load to a sleeper. It needs a technique that can guarantee a safety by sensing the possible cracks. In this paper, when train's load applied to the rail, strain distribution that introduced to entire length of rail is monitored using optical fibre. Optical fibre is used as a medium for measuring the strain and BOCDA (Brillouin Optical Correlation Domain Analysis) system is organized for measuring the distributed variation that implied to optical fibre. Optical fibre is attached at lower flange where tension is maximized when the load of train applied to the rail and strain gauge is implied together to compare the accuracy of measurement.

In this paper, we review the latest technical progress and commercialization of stretchable interconnectors, stretchable strain sensors, and stretchable substrates for stretchable electronics. The development of stretchable electronics can pave a way for new applications such as wearable devices, bio-integrated devices, healthcare and monitoring, and soft robotics. The essential components of stretchable electronic devices are stretchable interconnector and stretchable substrate. Stretchable interconnector should have high stretchability and high electrical conductivity as well as stability under severe mechanical deformation. Therefore several nanocomposite-based materials using CNT, graphene, nanowire, and metal flake have been developed. Geometric engineering such as wavy, serpentine, buckled and mesh structure has been well developed. Stretchable substrate should also pose high stretchability and compatibility with stretchable sensing or interconnecting material. We summarize the recent research results of new materials for stretchable interconnector and substrate as well as strain sensors. The Important challenges in development of the stretchable interconnector and substrate are also briefly discussed.

자동차 주행 중 도로면으로부터 차량 바퀴에 전달되는 동하중을 측정하기 위해 휠 동력계가 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 전단 변형과 굽힘 변형을 이용한 두 가지 타입의 6축 휠 동력계를 설계하고 비교 평가하였다. 유한요소해석을 이용하여 휠 동력계 기본 구조에 대한 전단 변형 거동과 굽힘 변형 거동을 분석하였으며 이로부터 전단형 휠 동력계와 굽힘형 휠 동력계를 설계하였다. 변형률 해석을 반복 수행하여 각 하중에 대한 출력변형률이 미리 결정된 비슷한 값이 되도록 하고 상호간섭 변형률이 최소화 되도록 설계를 수정하고 브리지 회로를 구성하였다. 전단형 휠 동력계는 균일한 변형률 분포를 얻을 수 있어 제작시 안정된 특성치를 얻을 수 있는 반면에, 굽힘형 휠 동력계는 각 하중에 대한 출력 변형률 값이 더 일정하여 균일한 감도의 좋은 성능을 얻을 수 있을 것으로 예측된다.

급격한 과도하중이나 충격 등에 의해서 발생만 복합적층 내부의 손상은 항공기 구조물과 같이 안전성이 중요시되는 구조의 신뢰성을 저하시키며 또한 큰 위험 요인이 될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 구조의 건전성을 모니터링하고 파손여부를 실시간으로 감지하기 위해 단파장 레이저와 광대역광원을 동시에 적용한 광섬유 센서를 이용하여 변형률 및 파손을 실시간으로 동시에 모니터링 할 수 있는 시스템을 구성하였다 이때 서로 다른 파장대의 두 장원은 파장분할다중 송신기를 이용하여 하나의 광섬유 센서에 적용되었다 파손신호의 특징을 정량적으로 구분하기 위해 STFT와 Wavelet Transform 과 같은 시간 주파수 분석법을 사용하였으며, 광섬유 센서로 취득 긴 파손신호 및 변형률 측정값을 각각 압전 세라믹 센서와 스트레인게이지의 값과 서로로 비교하였다. 장시간동안 파손과 동시에 측정된 변형률의 값은 스트레인게이지의 측정값과 잘 일치하였으며 파손감지 시스템 또만 미세한 파손신호까지 민감하게 감지해 낼 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The load cell is a force sensor and a transducer that is used to convert a physical force into a electrical signal for weighing equipment. Most conventional load cells are widely used a metal foil strain gauge for sensing element when force being applied spring element in order to converts the deformation to electrical signals. The sensitivity of a load cell is limited by its low gauge factor, hysteresis and creep. But silicon-based sensors perform with higher reliability. This paper presents the basic design and development of the silicon type load cell with an SUS630 diaphragm. The load cell consists of two parts the silicon strain gauge and the SUS630 structure with diaphragm. Structure analysis of load cell was researched by theory to optimize the load cell diaphragm design and to determine the position of peizoresistors on a silicon strain gauge. The piezo-resistors are integrated in the four points of silicon strain gauge processed by ion implantation. The thickness of the silicon strain gauge was polished by CMP under 100 ${\mu}M$. The 10 mm diameter SUS630 diaphragm was designed for loads up to 10 kg with 300 ${\mu}M$ of diaphragm thickness. The load cell was successfully tested, the variation of ${\Delta}$R(%) of four points on the silicon strain gauge is good linearity properties and sensitivity.
