연구배경 : 천식의 치료에 널리 사용되고 있는 호기유속측정기는 외래환자와 응급실에서뿐만 아니라 입원 천식환자들의 치료 및 경과 관찰에 매우 유용하다. 호기유속측정기에 대한 정확도 및 재현성에 대한 많은 연구가 있어왔으나 기류폐색을 가지는 환자를 대상으로 측정했을때의 정확도에 관한 연구는 드물다. 따라서 만성폐쇄성폐질환 또는 천식을 가지는 환자를 대상으로 잘 보정된 mass flow sensor의 최대호기유속 측정치와 mini-Wright peak flowmeter의 측정치를 비교하여 정확도를 관찰하고자 본 연구를 계획하였다. 방 법 : 천식 및 만성페쇄성폐질환으로 진단된 환자 108명을 대상으로 흡입용 기관지확장제 사용 전 후의 최대호기유속을 측정하였으며 잘 보정된 mass flow sensor로 측정한 후 mini-Wright peak flowmeter를 사용해서 최대호기유속을 측정하였다. 결 과 : 천식 및 만성폐쇄성폐질환 환자에서 mini-Wright peak flowmeter로 측정한 최대호기유속 값은 기관지 확장제 사용 유무에 관계없이 mass flow sensor의 측정치보다 평균 37-39 l/min 높게 관찰되었고 300 l/min 이하의 범위에서 오차는 25% 이상이었고 301 l/min 이싱에서는 17% 이하로 관찰되었다. 두 기기로 측정한 값의 일치도를 평가할 수 있는 편의(bias)는 전체를 대상으로 했을 때와 유속의 정도에 따라서도 모두 일치범위를 벗어나고 통계적으로도 유의하게 차이가 있었다. 결 론 : 천식 및 만성폐쇄성폐절환 환자에서 mini-Wright peak flow meter로 측정한 최대호기유속은 mass flow senor의 측정치보다 높게 관찰되었으며 300 l/mm이하의 유속에서 오차가 심했다. 두 기계로 측정한 최대호기유속 사이의 일치범위는 95% 신뢰구간에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었으므로 mass flow sensor 와 mini-Wright peak flow meter로 측정 한 결과를 상호교환적으로 사용할 수 없다고 판단된다.

Pulse diagnosis is one of the representative diagnostic methods in Oriental medicine. In this study, a pulse pressure sensor array coated with silicone, which includes 6 piezo-resistive sensors and 1 thermistor, is fabricated for pulse measurement. It is necessary to coat the pulse sensor array with silicone to avoid the fracture or damage of pressure sensors when the sensor is in contact with the skin and a constant pressure is applied. However, the silicone coating on the pulse sensor array can cause signal interference among the sensors in the pulse sensor array. The interference number (IN), a calculation for expressing the degree of interference among channels, is changed according to the silicone thickness on the pulse sensor array. The IN is increased by a thick silicone coating, but the fabrication error, an important index for the mass production of the sensor array, is reduced by the thickness of the silicone coating. We propose that the thickness of the silicone on the pulse sensor array is an important consideration for the performance of the fabricated sensor and manufacturing repeatability.

Fiber Bra99 grating (FBG) sensor, one of the fiber optic sensor (FOS) offers lots of advantages for structural health monitoring due to its multiplexing capability. Also, it is proper to measure the structural vibration with no mass concentration effect. In this paper, we constructed two sensor arrays composed of 9 FBG sensors for the vibration and mode sensing of a composites beam. For an accurate measurement of wavelength shift, a signal processing board with an electric circuit based on time-interval counting was developed. This sensor system showed a good resolution of dynamic strain (<10${\mu}{\varepsilon}$). Using this sensor system, dynamic strains at 9 points of composite beam was measured and strain measured mode shape of the beam was calculated from the acquired strains and compared with numerical results by ABAQUS.

This work reports development of novel liquid-level sensors based on the $3{\omega}$ method. The sensors determine the liquid level by measuring the thermal response as in the conventional hot-wire technique. However the sensors employ an AC heating method to enhance the sensitivity, noise resistance and time response. Also, the microfabricated thin-film structure of the sensor provides mass-producibility as well as improved sensor performance owing to the increase in the surface-volume ratio of the sensor. Two different types of the sensor are developed: one for point detection of the fluid phase and the other for monitoring continuous variation of liquid level. Notable is that the performance of the sensor is not considerably affected by the liquid flow.

Measured sensor datum from a quadruped robotics is commonly used for recognizing physical environment information which controls the posture of robotics. We can advance the ambulation with this sensed information and need to synthesize various sensors for obtaining accurate data, but most of these sensors are expensive and require excessive load for the operation. Those defects can be serious problem when it comes to the prototype's practicality and mass production, and maintenance of the system. This paper suggests virtual sensor technology for avoiding previous defects and presents ways to apply a theory to a walking robotics through virtual sensor information which is trained with several kinds of actual sensor information from the prototype system; the general algorithm is initially based on the neural network theory of back propagation. In specific, we verified a possibility of replacing the virtual sensor with the actual one through a reaction force measurement experiment.

Based on the results of studies on acetone excretion in diabetic patients, a one - chip sensors array was fabricated by combining acetone-selective sensor materials and volatile-organic-compound sensitive sensor materials. An electonic-nose was implemented using a sensor array and confirmed selectivity for five gases. In this system, the excretion of diabetic patients and controls was sampled with solid phase microextraction fiber and transferred to the sensor array. Although the control and diabetic patients were distinct, several samples failed. In the control group, the results of blood tests were normal, but patients were highly obese. In addition, the gas chromatography mass spectrometry results for the subjects revealed chemicals that are external factors.

This study presents the flow visualization results, velocity and turbulence intensity measurements made within an air filter cover and entry region of a mass air flow sensor (MAFS) which is used in an induction system of 3.8L engine. Flow structure in two air filter cover assemblies were examined. The first was a clear plastic replica of the production cover while the second was a modified clear plastic cover with a geometry configured to reduce fluctuations. High speed flow visualization and laser doppler velocimetry (LDV) systems were used to reveal and analyze the flow field characteristics encountered in the sensor design process under steady flow conditions. A 40-watt copper vapor laser was used as a light source. Its beam is focused down to a sheet of light approximately 1.5mm thick. The light scattered off the particles was recorded by a 16mm high speed rotating prism camera at 5000 frames per second. A comparison of the flow patterns and LDV measurements in the original and modified air filter covers is presented to illustrate the controlling effect of the cover design on the turbulence structure formation near the bypass and on the sensor output signal. In both axial and radial planes of the main passage it was found that the turbulence flow pattern is remarkably influenced by the air filter cover and main passage configuration.

There are lots of researches which are using quratz crystal in order to apply it to sensors, for example, mass detect sensor, humidity sensor, gas sensor, etc. We tried to apply quartz crystal to the sensor using the resonant frequency and the resistance properties. Four kinds of fatty acid which are having the same head group are coated at the surface of quartz crystal, the shift of the resonant frequency and the resistance are observed according to length of the tail group. Myristic acid$(C_{14})$, palmitic acid$(C_16)$, stearic acid$(C_{18})$, and arachidic acid$(C_{20})$ were coated by Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique. As results, the resonant frequency shift was observed linearly. However, there are some difference compared with Sauerbrey's equation. It can be explained by the effect of the temperature property and/or humidity. On the other hand, the shift of the resistance was observed nonlinearly.
