Increasing interest of human health, building bio-database (Bio DB) has been become a hot issue in life science. Consequently, Single Cell Analysis (SCA) which can explain biodiversity of lives has been a significant factor for building Bio DB. In numerous studies from these analyses, they have been showed that mechanical properties of cells can serve explanation of biological heterogeneity and criterion of disease states. Therefore, measuring mechanical properties of cells have great potential to be used in bio-medical applications. However, traditionally, many researchers have undergone difficult and time consuming work because handling small sized cells usually requires high-skilled technique. Thus, this paper shows robotized stiffness measurement technique using fixed ended beam sensor, precision motorized stage and substrate which have wall structure.

격자 구조형 스트립 방향성 결합기를 기반으로 한 고 민감도 굴절률 bio-sensor를 제안하였다. 그 센서는 도파관 중 하나의 상단 층에 격자 구조가 구성된, 두 개의 비대칭 스트립 도파관을 사용하여 설계하였다. 위상정합 조건을 만족하는 공진 파장에서 한 도파관으로부터 다른 도파관으로 최대 광 결합이 발생하며, 도파관 표면 영역에 놓인 분석물질의 굴절률 변화에 따른 위상정합 조건의 변화가 민감도를 측정하는 척도로 사용될 수 있음을 보여주었다. 제안된 센서는 높은 굴절률 민감도를 가진 on-chip 장치로 설계될 수 있으며, 낮은 전파 손실을 제공하여 민감도가 향상되도록 센서를 구성되었다. 더욱이, 도파관 파라미터에 따른 민감도 변화가 센서의 설계 최적화를 위하여 분석되었다.

It is essential to investigate the structure and the main characteristics of BSN (Bio-Sensor Network) platform in built smart healthcare environment while designing healthy housing facilities. For this study, WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) data transmission technologies have been employed with medical sensors, and optimal medical devices would provide various Web 2.0 services by connecting to the WiBro network. The BSN platform normally recognizes in surroundings of WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network) or WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network), and it is possible to manage sensor nodes by utilizing SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and REST (REpresentational State Transfer). In addition, the feature of SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for mobile gateway is also included for being adapted to huge network structure. Finally, BSN platform will play a role as important clues for developing personal WSN service models for smart healthy housing properties.

The microbolometer array sensor with fine pitch pixel array has been implemented to the released amorphous silicon layer supported by two contact pads. For the design of focal plane mirror with geometrical flatness, the simple beam test structures were fabricated and characterized. As the beam length decreased, the effect of beam width on the bending was minimized, Mirror deformation of focal plane in a real pixel showed downward curvature by residual stress of a-Si and Ti layer. The mirror tilting was caused by the mis-align effect of contact pad and confirmed by FEA simulation results. The properties of bolometer have been measured as such that the NETD 145 mK, the TCR -2 %/K, and thermal time constant 1.99 ms.

To address the need for new intelligent sensing, this paper introduces nano sensors made of carbon nanotube (CNT) composites and presents their preliminary experiments. Having smart material properties such as piezoresistivity, chemical and bio selectivity, the nano composite can be used as smart electrodes of the nano sensors. The nano composite sensor can detect structural deterioration, chemical contamination and bio signal by means of its impedance measurement (resistance and capacitance). For a structural application, the change of impedance shows specific patterns depending on the structural deterioration and this characteristic is available for an in-situ multi-functional sensor, which can simultaneously detect multi symptoms of the structure. This study is anticipated to develop a new nano sensor detecting multiple symptoms in structural, chemical and bio applications with simple electric circuits.

본 논문에서는 $8{\times}8$ CNT 센서 어레이를 CMOS 공정 후 처리를 통하여 센서회로가 제작된 CMOS 칩에 집적시켜 측정장비 없이도 자체적으로 감지결과를 출력할 수 있는 센서 칩의 기본적인 플랫폼을 설계 제작한 결과를 보고한다. 센서 소자로는 알루미늄 패드 사이에 연결된 CNT network을 사용하였으며 생화학적 반응에 의하여 전기전도도가 변화하는 것을 감지한다. 표준 CMOS 공정의 감지회로는 CNT network의 저항 값 변동에 의해 ring oscillator의 주파수가 변동하는 것을 감지하는 방식을 사용한다. 제작된 CMOS 센서 칩을 활용하여 이를 대표적인 생화학물질인 glutamate을 검출하는데 실험적으로 적용하여 농도에 따른 출력결과 값을 얻는데 성공한다. 본 연구를 통하여 본 센서 칩 플랫폼을 이용한 상용화의 가능성을 확인하며, 추가적으로 개발이 필요한 기술에 대해 파악한다.

Estimation methods of motion intention from bio-signal present challenges in man machine interaction(MMI) to offer user's command to machine without control of any devices. Measurements of meaningful bio-signals that contain the motion intention and motion estimation methods from bio-signal are important issues for accurate and safe interaction. This paper proposes a novel motion estimation sensor based on a geometrical muscle changes, and a motion estimation method using the sensor. For estimation of the motion, we measure the circumference change of the muscle which is proportional to muscle activation level using a flexible piezoelectric cable (pMAS, piezo muscle activation sensor), designed in band type. The pMAS measures variations of the cable band that originate from circumference changes of muscle bundles. Moreover, we estimate the elbow motion by applying the sensor to upper limb with least square method. The proposed sensor and prediction method are simple to use so that they can be used to motion prediction device and methods in rehabilitation and sports fields.

본 연구에서는 광섬유 산소센서를 기반으로 글루코오스 모니터링용 FIA 시스템을 개발하였다. 운반용액의 낮은 유속에서도 검출가능 하였으며, 산소전극을 이용한 글루코오스-FIA 시스템보다 넓은 범위의 글루코오스 농도를 검출할 수 있었다. 향후, 광섬유 센서를 이용하여 생물반응기에서 기질로 사용되는 글루코오스뿐만 아니라 용존산소, pH, $CO_2$와 같이 다양한 인자들의 모니터링 시스템을 개발하고자 한다.

The work described in this study concerns the development of a disposable amperometric sensor for the electrochemical detection of a well-known aqueous pollutant, free available chlorine (FAC). The FAC sensor developed used screen printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) coupled with immobilised syringaldazine, commonly used as an indicator in photometric FAC detection, which was directly immobilised on the surface of SPCEs using a photopolymer PVA-SbQ. To enable in-field analysis of FAC, a prototype hand-held electrochemical analyzer has been developed to withstand the environment with its rugged design and environmentally sealed connections; it operates from two PP3 (9 volt) batteries and is comparable in accuracy and sensitivity to commercial bench top systems. The sensitivity of the FAC sensor developed was $3.5{\;}nA{\mu}M^{-1}cm^{-2}$ and the detection limit for FAC was found to be $2.0{\;}{\mu}M$.
