This paper presents the design of the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) system for the drive axis of a electro-magnetic driven cylinder gyroscope. The simulation and experimental results show that the designed AGC excites the cylinder at its natural frequency and maintains a specified amplitude of oscillations, and also track the natural frequency shifts due to temperature variations. The sensing performance of the AGC driven gyroscope is shown to be greatly improved compared to that of the open-loop driven one.

In modern manufacturing industry such as aerospace, vehicle and die/mold industry, the high hardness malarial which is remarkable in aspects of durability is effectively used. The high-speed and precision machining technology has been applied in these fields. In this study, efficient sensors in high-speed machining by observing similar tendency through comparing cutting force with AE signal, gap sensor signal and accelerometer signal are selected, and machinability of high-speed machining is experimentally evaluated. We performed a basic research for sensing system construction to monitor a machine tool and machining condition.

본 연구는 다양한 환경에서의 인간형 로봇의 안정적인 보행을 하기위한 FSR (Force Sensing Resistor) 센서 기반의 보행패턴에 관한 전체 시스템의 설계와 이의 모의실험이다. 인간형 로봇의 안정적인 보행을 구현하기 위해서는 보행 패턴의 ZMP(Zero Moment Point) 궤적이 안정 영역 내에 위치하게 하여야 하고, 실제 보행 중에도 외부의 환경적인 요인과 내부의 제어 오차에 따라 보행패턴의 수정과 보완이 요구된다. 이에 FSR 센서를 적용하여 전체 인간형 로봇의 보행 시스템을 설계하고 안정적인 다양한 보행을 구현하기 위한 보행패턴을 제안한다. 이를 모의실험을 통해 평지, 계단, 경사면에 따른 보행 안정성을 검증한다. 차후 이러한 모의실험 결과를 보완하여 FSR 센서를 실제 인간형 로봇에 장착하고 실험하여 안정적인 보행을 구현할 계획이다.

Nanostructures on Graphene surface receive highly attraction for many applications ranging from sensing technologies to molecular electronics. Recently J. Jasuja et al. reported the electrical property tailoring and Raman enhancement by the implantation and growth of dendritic gold nanostructures on graphene derivatives [ACSNANO, 3, 2358, 2013] Here, we introduced Si vapor on the graphen to induce the nanostructure. The surface property change of graphene by controlling the amount of Si and the thickness of graphene were investigated using high resolution photoemission spectroscopy (HRPES), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The Si nanostructures on graphene show the thickness dependency of graphene, and the size of Si nano-structure reached to 7 nm and 15 nm on the mono and the multilayered graphene after $30{\AA}$ Si evaporation.

In this paper, we analyse and present electro-mechanical dynamic characteristics of a micro-machined vibrating silicon ring gyroscope which can measure angular velocities about three orthogonal axes. The ring gyroscope has a ring connected to the gyroscope main body by support-ligaments which are arranged with cyclic symmetry. The natural modes of its vibration can be distinguished into the in-plane motion and the out-of-plane motion which are coupled by the gyro-effect due to the notation of the gyroscope main body. The motions of the ring are electro-statically derived, sensed and balanced by electrodes. The equations of motion are formulated. The scheme of angular velocities sensing by force-to-rebalance method is presented. The dynamic characteristics of a ring gyroscope are calculated and compared.

This paper describes the development of a thigh-muscle strength-assistance robot, which is a kind of wearable robot. For practicality and commercialization, we proposed three fundamental concepts: the reduction of the thigh-muscle strength, minimized degree of dependence on a powered actuator, and complete wearer safety. Based on these concepts, a spring and link bar mechanism was conceived as a novel idea. The movement of the thigh is transferred to the spring mechanism through the link bar; hence, the elastic force of the spring assists the thigh muscle. Using forse sensing resistor (FSR) sensors and a powered cam mechanism, the muscle assistance is automatically activated and deactivated according to the wearer's movement. The specific mechanisms of the robot are addressed in detail, and the effectiveness is verified by experiments.

For the several decades, various nanomaterials are broadly used in industry and research. With the growth of nanotechnology, the study of nanotoxicity is being accelerated. Particularly, mercury ion is widely used in real life. Because the mercury is representative high toxic material, it is highly recommended to detect the mercury ion. In previous reported work, thymine-thymine mismatches (T-T) capture mercury ion and create very stable base pair ($T-Hg^{2+}-T$). Here, we performed the high sensitive sensing method for direct label free detection of mercury ions and DNA binding using Kelvin Probe Force Microscope (KPFM). In this method, 30 base pairs of thymine (T-30) is used for mercury specific DNA binding ($T-Hg^{2+}-T$). KPFM is able to detect the mercury ion because there is difference between bare T-30 DNA and mercury mediated DNA ($T-Hg^{2+}-T$).

To illustrate an application of the field effect transistor (FET) structure, this study suggests a new cantilever, using atomic force microscopy (AFM), for sensing surface potentials in nanoscale. A combination of the micro-electromechanical system technique for surface and bulk and the complementary metal oxide semiconductor process has been employed to fabricate the cantilever with a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer. After the implantation of a high-ion dose, thermal annealing was used to control the channel length between the source and the drain. The basic principle of this cantilever is similar to the FET without a gate electrode.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a case study of developing a miniature biped robot. The biped robot has a total of twenty-one degrees of freedom(DOF) ; There are two legs which have six DOF each, two arms which have three DOF each and a waist which has three DOF. RC servo-motors were used as actuators. We have developed motor controller, sensor controller and ISA-interface card. Motor controller, PWM generator, can control eight motors Sensor controller is connected to eight FSR(Force Sensing Resistors). For high level controller communicate with low level controller, ISA-interface card has developed. For the stable walking, CMAC(Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller) neural network algorithm is applied to our system CMAC is robust at noise.

The Study of this paper is to establish the optimum fabricating condition of specimens using Vapor Deposition Polymerization Method which belongs to a mode of preparation of functional organic thin films with dry process and to develop thin film type humidity sensor which has good humidity sensitive Characteristics. Scanning electron microscopy Atomic force microscopy were used to analyze the characteristics of thin film and the basic structure of the humidity sensor is a parallel capacitor which consists of three layers of Al/PI/Al. The characteristics of fabricated samples were measured under various conditions and obtained linear characteristics in the range of 20∼80%RH independent of temperature change and low hysteresis characteristics.
