Axial Flux Permanent Magnet motor could widely be used for low speed and high torque applications. In this paper, to analyse the sensor positioning effect of AFPM motor which has a new concentric winding method and to calibrate the switching timing according to speed, prototype motor is manufactured. As a result of experiment, advance angle from 30 degree to 45 degree of sensor position is more proper. So, this results can be used for design of sensor position to improve characteristic of the dual gap AFPM with coreless and slotless.

In recent years, much progress has been made in the automation of welding coped with a variety of highly flexible sensors. Among these sensors, only the eddy current sensor can detect the center location of the butt joint whose gap distance is zero. Thus, in this study the eddy current sensor is used to develop a robust and useful joint tracking system. The developed system is tested to qualify the performance of the system and seam tracking algorithm is proposed and two simulation are executed to show the performance of the proposed tracking algorithm.

This paper proposes an alternative vibration detection method in a squirrel-cage induction motor using flux sensors. The air-gap flux will be changed when mechanical vibration occurs by bearing fault as well as broken rotor bar and air-gap eccentricity. For detecting those flux variations due to vibration, search coils are installed at stator slots. The induction motor with 380 [V], 7.5 [kW], 4 [Poles], 1,760 [rpm] ratings is used. Magnitudes and distortion of the induced voltage from flux sensors are used to discriminate faulted types. As a result, the flux sensor has been proven to be useful for vibration detection. It is compared to the result with vibration sensor as well.

We studied experimentally and theoretically the vertical range of the confined electric field in the gap area of metamaterials, which was analyzed for various gap widths using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. We measured the resonant frequency as a function of the thickness of poly(methyl methacrylate) in the range 0 to 3.2 μm to quantify the effective detection volumes. We found that the effective vertical range of the metamaterial is determined by the size of the gap width. The vertical range was found to decrease as the gap width of the metamaterial decreases, whereas the sensitivity is enhanced as the gap width decreases due to the highly concentrated electric field. Our experimental findings are in good agreement with the finite-difference time-domain simulation results. Finally, a numerical expression was obtained for the vertical range as a function of the gap width. This expression is expected to be very useful for optimizing the sensing efficiency.

In this paper, in order to quantify the peristalsis occurrence in a guinea pig's large intestine, a miniaturized air-gap capacitive pressure sensor was fabricated through micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS). The proposed pressure sensor is a two-layered biocompatible polyimide substrate consisting of an air-gap capacitive plates between the substrates. The proposed pressure sensor was designed with a careful consideration of the structure and motility mechanism of the guinea pig's large intestine. Artificial pellets were mounted on a prototype pressure sensor to provide some redundancies in the form of size and shape of the guinea pig feces. Capacitance of a prototype sensor was recorded to be 2.5 ~ 3 pF. This capacitance value was later converted to count value using a lab fabricated data conversion system. Sensitivity of the pressure sensor was recorded to be below 1 mmHg per atmospheric pressure. During in vivo testing, artificial peristalsis caused by drug injection was measured by inserting the prototype pressure sensor into the guinea pig's large intestine and pressure data obtained due to artificial peristalsis was graphed using a labview program. The proposed pressure sensor could measure the pressure changes in the proximal, medial, and distal parts of the large intestine. The results of the experiment confirmed that pressure changes of guinea pig's large intestine was proportional to the degree of drug injection.

In this paper, we proposes a study on air gap control for magnetic levitation of transverse flux permanent magnet electromagnets. In general, mechanical systems have a high failure rate of bearings. Bearings in particular are problematic because they have high surface wear rate and degradations. To solve this problem, replacing the bearing with a magnetic levitation electromagnet system can provide lightweight and efficiency improvements. However, precise air gap control is essential to control the magnetic levitation electromagnet system. Therefore, in this paper, we identify the instable cause of gap control through a mathematical modeling and verify through experiment a control algorithm that can use compensation.

Piezoresistive type contact force sensor array is fabricated by (111) Silicon bulk micromachining for continuous blood pressure monitoring. Length and width of the unit sensor structure is $200{\mu}m$ and $190{\mu}m$, respectively. The gap between sensing elements is only $10{\mu}m$. To achieve wafer level packaging, the sensor structure is capped by PDMS soft cap using wafer molding and bonding process with $10{\mu}m$ alignment precision. The resistance change over contact force was measured to verify the feasibility of the proposed sensor scheme. The maximum measurement range and resolution is 900 mm Hg and 0.57 mm Hg, respectively.

Capacitive pressure sensor는 Piezo type sensor에 비해 온도의 영향이 적어 공업계측, 전기용품 등 그 용도가 다양하여 폭넓게 사용되어지고 있지만, 측정값의 비선형성이 존재하여 측정값에 대한 신뢰도가 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 capacitive pressure sensor의 비선형적 output을 개선하기 위한 방법으로 touch mode capacitive pressure sensor를 제안하였다. 또한, 실제 Device제작에 앞서 FEM 해석을 수행하였다. 2mm X 2mm 크기의 diaphragm, $25{\mu}m$의 두께, $20{\mu}m$의 gap을 갖는 Sensor를 Simulation하였으며 설계 변수를 추출하여 각각의 설계변수에 대한 해석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 15.2psi${\sim}$31psi의 영역에서 8.58pF${\sim}$54.31pF의 capacitance가 선형적으로 나타나는 sensor임을 확인하였다.

Eddy current sensor is representative instrument measuring gap to base metal and sensing trouble in base metal. The existing eddy current sensor works as measuring variance of sensor coil's inductance. But, sensor coil have phenomenon that not only inductance but also real resistance varies in real action. Conductivity and Permeability are main variable in sensor coil's varying impedance(inductance, real resistance). By searching relationship between conductivity-permeability and sensor coil's impedance, eddy current sensor gain advantage of elevation of accuracy, removal of alignment to each base metal, and continuous sensing to varying base metal.

EMS-type Maglev vehicle maintains constant levitation air-gap between electromagnet and guideway by using gap sensor. The other words, when Maglev vehicles levitating over the guideway, mass of the vehicle effects through 1st (electromagnetic air-gap control) and 2nd (air-spring) suspension to grider. Resonace between electromagnetic suspension and grider could be occurred, which causes instability and poor ridecomfort. This paper is to test the dymanic interaction between levitation air-gap and switching system grider that has less mass and high natural frequencies than other type of general girders.
