In this study, we have fabricated a fiber-optic radiation sensor using an organic scintillator for high energy electron beam therapy. The intensities of scintillating light from a fiber-optic radiation sensor are measured with different field size, electron beam energy and monitor unit of a clinical linear accelerator. To obtain percent depth dose(PDD), the amount of scintillating light is measured at different depth of polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA) phantom. Also the intensity of Cerenkov light is measured and characterized as a function of incident angle of electron beam and a subtraction method is investigated using a background optical fiber to remove a Cerenkov light.

본 연구에서는 유기 섬광체와 플라스틱 광섬유를 이용하여 치료용 광자선의 계측을 위한 2차원 광섬유 방사선 센서를 제작하였다. 제작된 센서를 사용하여 광자선 조사야(Field size)와 에너지에 따른 선형가속기의 빔 분포도를 2차원적으로 측정하였으며 polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA)팬텀 내에서 깊이에 따른 섬광체의 광량을 측정하여 깊이선량 분포(Percent Depth Dose, PDD) 또한 2차원으로 측정하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 개발된 2차원 광섬유 방사선 센서는 고 분해능, 실시간 측정, 쉬운 보정 등 많은 장점을 가지고 있다.

In this study, we have fabricated two types of non-invasive fiber-optic respiration sensors that can measure respiratory signals during magnetic resonance (MR) image acquisition. One is a nasal-cavity attached sensor that can measure the temperature variation of air-flow using a thermochromic pigment. The other is an abdomen attached sensor that can measure the abdominal circumference change using a sensing part composed of polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) tubes, a mirror and a spring. We have measured modulated light guided to detectors in the MRI control room via optical fibers due to the respiratory movements of the patient in the MR room, and the respiratory signals of the fiber-optic respiration sensors are compared with those of the BIOPAC$^{(R)}$ system. We have verified that respiratory signals can be obtained without deteriorating the MR image. It is anticipated that the proposed fiber-optic respiration sensors would be highly suitable for respiratory monitoring during surgical procedures performed inside an MRI system.

This paper introduces an artificial neuron which is a nano composite continuous sensor. The continuous nano sensor is fabricated as a thin and narrow polymer film sensor that is made of carbon nanotubes composites with a PMMA or a silicone matrix. The sensor can be embedded onto a structure like a neuron in a human body and it can detect deteriorations of the structure. The electrochemical impedance and dynamic strain response of the neuron change due to deterioration of the structure where the sensor is located. A network of the long nano sensor can form a structural neural system to provide large area coverage and an assurance of the operational health of a structure without the need for actuators and complex wave propagation analyses that are used with other methods. The artificial neuron is expected to effectively detect damage in large complex structures including composite helicopter blades and composite aircraft and vehicles.

The wireless sensor network (WSN) based ECG and body temperature measuring system for ubiquitous health-care were designed and developed. The system was composed of a wireless sensor network node, base station and server computer for the continuous monitoring of ECG signals and body temperatures of patients at home or hospital. ECG signal and body temperature data, important vital signals which are commonly used in clinical and trauma care, were displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI). The data transfer from sensor nodes on patients' body to server computer was accomplished through a base-station connected to a server computer using Zigbee compatible IEEE802.15.4 standard wireless communication. Real-time as well as historical, ECG data of elderly persons or patients, can also be retrieved and played back to assist the diagnosis. The ubiquitous health care system presented in this study can effectively reduce social medical expenses, which will be increased greatly in the coming aging society.

The paper presents a multi-objective optimization strategy for a multi-type sensor placement for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of long span bridges. The problem is formulated for simultaneous placement of strain sensors and accelerometers (heterogeneous network) based on application demands for SHM system. Modal Identification (MI) and Accurate Mode Shape Expansion (AMSE) were chosen as the application demands for SHM. The optimization problem is solved through the use of integer Genetic Algorithm (GA) to maximize a common metric to ensure adequate MI and AMSE. The performance of the joint optimization problem solved by GA is compared with other established methods for homogenous sensor placement. The results indicate that the use of a multi-type sensor system can improve the quality of SHM. It has also been demonstrated that use of GA improves the overall quality of the sensor placement compared to other methods for optimization of sensor placement.

기존의 IT 산업 환경은 인터넷을 중심으로 하는 멀티미디어 콘텐트 기반이었으나, 최근 센서와 통신 기술을 접목한 유비쿼터스 기술이 부각되고 있으며 이를 USN (ubiquitous sensor network)라 한다. 건강관리 분야는 USN 적용에 매우 적합한 문야의 하나로 여겨지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 USN을 기반으로 영유아의 건강과 안전을 관리하기 위해 스마트 센서를 이용한 baby care 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안된 시스템은 낙상 감지 센서, 울음 감지 센서, 발열 감지 센서와 정보 전달을 위한 블루투스 네트워크로 구성되었다. 구현된 시스템은 시현을 통해 실효성을 확인하였다.

Recently, there has been considerable interest in the development of fiber-optic sensors based on fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), which can be made into Ge-doped fiber's core by UV phase mask or holographic methods. A good sensitivity and small size of this sensor make it an ideal candidate for distributed sensing in smart structures or other structural monitoring applications. In this study, fiber optic Bragg grating sensor, which could be applied to measure the absolute strains, was constructed and the strain sensitivity of this sensor was investigated in order to apply to the structural health monitoring. Fiber Fabry-Perot (FFP) filter has been used to detect the optical signals instead of optical spectrum analyzer. It has been convenient to determine the structural strains from the output signal of FBGs. The fiber optic Bragg grating sensor was attached on the aluminum beam near the electrical strain gage to measure the same strain. The relationship between strain and fiber signal was linearly fitted. The strain sensitivity of the fiber optic Bragg grating sensor was determined as $l.57{\mu}{\varepsilon}/{\mu}sec$ from the aluminum beam test.

본 논문은 두 편으로 구성된 스마트능동레이어 (smart active layer, SAL) 센서 개발에 관한 두 번째 것이다. 이미 첫 번째 논문에서 언급되었지만, 구조물 건전성 감시 (structural health monitoring, SHM)는 구조물 안전 감시의 비용과 편리성을 개선하기 위한 방법으로서, 산업현장에서 그 응용이 점차 증가하는 새로운 기술이며, 최근 실제 응용을 하기 위한 스마트 센서의 개발 및 연구가 매우 활발하다. 본 논문에서는 첫 번째 논문에 기술된 SAL 센서의 이론 및 개념 연구에 이어서 실제 제작 및 적용연구에 관해 기술한다. 본 연구에서는 탄성파 감지를 위한 스마트 압전 센서 SAL을 개발하였는데, 압전 소자, 전자기파 차폐층 (EMI shielding lave.) 및 보호 층(protection layer)으로 구성되었다. 보호층에 일정 간격으로 분포된 압전 센서가 부착되고, 이들을 전기적으로 연결하는 회로층이 위치하고 있다. 모두 4종류의 SAL 센서가 설계, 제작 및 시험되었으며 이에 대해 상세히 기술하고 있다. 본 연구를 통해 SAL 센서는 SHM의 수행과 탄성파에 의한 손상 위치를 표정하는데 적용 가능할 것으로 예상된다.
