아두이노와 압력센서를 이용하여 현대인의 관심사인 건강관리 프로그램을 만드는 것이 목적이다. 현재 한국에는 총 420만명의 요실금 환자가 있을 것으로 추정된다. Information Technology와 Bio Technology의 융합을 통해 이러한 환자들이 쉽고 간단하며 가장 효과적인 골반저근운동(이하 케겔운동) 을 할 수 있도록 유도하여 요실금, 발기부전 등을 치료, 예방한다. 현재 시중에 판매되는 케겔 의료기기는 전기적 자극을 강제로 주어 운동을 해야 하는 시스템으로 하의를 탈의하고 폐쇄된 공간에서 Femcon Therapy를 주로 사용 하였으며 이는 시간제약, 공간제약, 위생적인 제약 등의 문제가 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 제약에서 벗어나 하의를 탈의하지 않고 공간과 위생의 제약에서 벗어나 BT와 IT를 융합한 케겔(Kegel) 의료기를 설계 하였다.

Nanowires of polytetrakis(o-aminophenyl)porphyrin (PTAPPNW) were fabricated by electrochemical polymerization with the cyclic voltammetric method in anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes. The glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified by PTAPPNW, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) and Nafion as a binder was investigated with voltammetric methods in a phosphate buffer saline (PBS) solution at pH 7.4. The PTAPPNW + SWNT + Nafion/GCE exhibited strongly enhanced voltammetric and amperometric sensitivity towards hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$), which shortened the response time and enhanced the sensitivity for $H_2O_2$ determination at an applied potential of 0.0 V by amperometric method. The PTAPPNW + SWNT + Nafion/GCE can be used to monitor $H_2O_2$ at very low concentrations in biological pH as an efficient electrochemical $H_2O_2$ sensor.

바이오센서 응용을 위한 대칭 및 비대칭 마하젠더 간섭계 광도파로 소자의 설계, 제작 및 광학적 응답특성을 평가하였다. 설계 제작된 광도파로 소자의 압력광원은 각각 1550nm와 632.8nm이고, 코어와 클래딩의 굴절률차는 0.45 $\Delta$%로 설계 제작하였다. 센서부(상위 클래드)의 금 박막의 미소 굴절률 변화에 따른 TE, TM모드의 특성을 분석하였다. 센서의 보다 높은 감도 개선을 위한 나노-광자결정 구조가 주목받고 있는데, 광자결정 구조의 구현를 위한 리소그래피 공정은 높은 분해능과 신뢰성 있는 나노스케일의 공정이 요구된다. 광-바이오센서의 감도 개선을 위해 센서부 표면에 2차원 나노-광자결정 배열을 제안하고 이를 구현하기 위한 Dip-Pen Nanolithography 공정에 대해 고찰하였다.

Various species of insects display vivid colors, widely known as 'structural color' due to their optical interference. Morpho butterflies are famous for their brilliant iridescent colors, which arise from the photonic-nanostructures of optical interference on their wings. In this paper, we outline the results of a comparative study of the optical properties of bio-inspired Morpho butterfly structures with the widely known Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR), conducted using a rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) method for the two structures. Almost analogous tendencies were observed for both Morpho and DBR structures. With variation in the surrounding media, however, Morpho structures showed an obvious peak shift while no significant changes were observed in DBR, which can be applicable.

In recent years, various methods of measuring body temperature have been developed using wireless biosensors to facilitate an early detection of pregnancy and parturition in cows. However, there are no studies on real-time monitoring of cattle body temperature throughout pregnancy. Therefore, we investigated the daily mean ruminal temperature in pregnant cows throughout pregnancy using a ruminal bio-capsule sensor and then evaluated the temperature variation between pregnant and non-pregnant cows. In pregnant cows, the mean and standard deviation of ruminal temperature was 38.86 ± 0.17℃. Ruminal temperature in pregnant cows slowly decreased until 180 to 190 days after artificial insemination and after that, the temperature increased dramatically until just before parturition. Furthermore, the means ruminal temperature was significantly different between pregnant and nonpregnant cows. The mean and standard deviation of ruminal temperature were as follows: 38.68 ± 0.01℃ from days 80 to 100, 38.78 ± 0.02℃ from days 145 to 165, 38.99 ± 0.45℃ from days 200 to 220, 39.14 ± 0.38℃ from days 250 to 270 before parturition. Therefore, our results could provide useful data for early detection of pregnancy and parturition in Korean cows.

To assist in data collection, the use of a mobile sink has been widely suggested in the literature. Due to the limited sensor node's storage capacity, this manner to collect data induces huge latencies and drop packets. Their buffers will be overloaded and lead to network congestion. Recently, a new bio-inspired optimization algorithm appeared. Researchers were inspired by the swarming mechanism of salps and thus creating what is called the Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA). This paper improves the sink mobility to enhance energy dissipation, throughput, and convergence speed by imitating the salp's movement. The new approach, named the Mobile Sink based on Modified Salp Swarm Algorithm (MSSA), is approved in a heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) data collection. The performance of the MSSA protocol is assessed using several iterations. Results demonstrate that our proposal surpass other literature algorithms in terms of lifespan and throughput.

In this paper, the control of a prosthetic arm using the flex sensor signal is described. The flex sensors are attached to the biceps and triceps brchii muscle. The signals are passed a differential amplifier and noise filter. And then the signals are converted to digital data by PCI 6036E ADC. From the data, position and velocity of arm joint are obtained. Also motion of the forearm - flexion and extension, the pronation and supination are abstracted from the data by proposed algorithm. A two D.O.F arm with RC servo-motor is designed for experiment. The arm length is 200 mm, weight is 4.5 N. The rotation angle of elbow joint is $120^{\circ}$. Also the rotation angle of the wrist is $180^{\circ}$. Through the experiment, we verified the possibility of the prosthetic arm control using the flex sensor signal. We will try to improve the control accuracy of the prosthetic arm continuously.

This study was conducted to design an impedance sensor that can measure soil water content of soils. Partial least square regression (PLSR) was applied to soil impedance data preprocessed with a smoothing method. An optimal sub-spectrum size and wavelength range were determined by comparing the coefficient of determination ($R^2$) and root mean square error (RMSE) of the PLSR models obtained using soil impedance data. various PLS analysis. Based on the PLSR analysis, it would be concluded that the optimal spectrum measurement range was $32.0{\sim}50.0\;MHz$ with the optimal sub-spectrum size of about 18.5 MHz.

Microfluidic chips have been frequently utilized to perform biochemical analysis, like cell culture, because they reduce the consumptions of analytes and reagents and automate multi-step analysis processes. It is often critical to monitor temperature in a microchannel for the analyses in order to control a reaction condition of bio or chemical molecules. We propose a novel method to monitor temperature of a microchannel flow by using polydiacetylene (PDA), a conjugated polymer, that has a unique property to transform its color from visible blue to fluorescent red by thermal stress. We inject PDA sensor droplets generated by hydrodynamic instability into a microchannel with a microheater incorporated on the channel bottom. Also, we change the channel temperature by providing the different electric power to the microheater. The results show that the florescence intensity of PDA sensor droplets linearly increases in response to the flow temperature increase within a certain range.

손목에서 맥박을 측정하기 위한 센서부의 최적화에 관하여 연구하였다. 센서부의 최적 구조를 알기위해서 센서패드 구조물의 형태, 크기 및 실리콘의 두께를 변화시켜 맥박 신호를 측정하였다. 본 실험에서 사용된 구조물의 형태는 각기 Empty, Rectangle, Embossing, Length, Width이다. 각 구조물의 형태마다 실리콘의 두께를 0~7 mm 까지 1 mm씩 늘려 가면서 출력 신호의 크기를 비교하였다.
