  • For smart structure technologies, the interests in wireless sensor networks for structural health monitoring are growing. The wireless sensor networks reduce the installation of the wire embedded in the whole structure and save the costs. But the wireless sensor networks have lots of limits and there are lots of researches and developments of wireless sensor and the network for data process. Most of the researches of wireless sensor network is applying to the civil engineering structure and the researches for the highrise building are required. And strain-based SHM gives the local damage information of the structures which acceleration-based SHM can not. In this paper, concept of wireless sensor network for structural health monitoring of highrise building is suggested. And verifying the feasibility of the strain-based SHM a strain sensor board has developed and tested by experiments.

  • This paper presents a polishing expert system integrated with sensor information which can modify the polishing sequence and conditions initially determined by the system depending on the on-site polishing status. A practical system using AE sensor to detect the on-line polishing status is developed for the rotational polishing and the smoothly curved sur-face. Database and knowledge base for polishing processes are established by using the results of experiments and also expert's experience. Evaluations are performed for a die of headlight lamp by using both the sensor integrated expert sys-tem and the expert system without sensor. The test results show that the sensor integrated expert system provides more optimal polishing conditions since the proposed system takes advantage of on-line sensor information.

  • This paper proposes a new sensor circuit using a 32 nm carbon nanotube FET (CNFET) technology for artificial skin. For future robotic and prosthetic applications, it is essential to develop a robust and low power artificial skin for detecting the environment through touch. Therefore, a sensor circuit for the artificial skin also has to be developed to detect the sensor signals and convert them into digital bits. The artificial skin sensor is based on a mesh of sensors consisting of a nxn matrix using CNFET, and the sensor outputs are connected to a current monitoring circuit proposed as the sensor circuit. The proposed sensor provides pressure measurements and shape information about pressure distribution.

  • In this paper, an optical fiber sensor(OF sensor) utilizing the principal of Mach-Zehnder interferometer were proposed to detect the partial discharge signals in insulating oil. At first the AC breakdown signals were detected to check the response of the OF sensor. The detected signals from OF sensor was consistent with that from current probe. After the response checking, simultaneous measurements and continuous recording were made of electrical and the OF sensor signals from partial discharge(PD) produced by IEC(b) electrode system immersed in insulating oil. The continuous recording made it possible to extract basic quantities of PD from the OF sensor signals, such as pulse phase and pulse amplitude distribution. Through the signal analysis, the absolute peaks of the OF sensor PD signal was found to be increased with the amplitude of electrical signals, and these results mean that there is a strong correlation between OF sensor and electrical PD signals. It was demonstrated that the OF sensor in this research had a possibility to detect the PD signals in power apparatus.

  • Currently, falling to industrial field workers is causing serious injuries. Therefore, many researchers are actively studying the fall by using acceleration sensor, gyro sensor, pressure sensor and image information.Also, as the spread of smartphones becomes common, techniques for determining the fall by using an acceleration sensor built in a smartphone are being studied. The proposed method has complexity due to fusion of various sensor data and it is still insufficient to develop practical application. Therefore, in this paper, we use acceleration sensor module built in smartphone to collect acceleration data, propose a simple falling algorithm based on accelerometer sensor data after normalization and preprocessing, and implement an Android based app.

  • This paper is described a development of an optical fiber displacement sensor. The optical fiber sensor using an intensity modulated measures the displacement between target and sensor. A prototype sensor is composed of a transmitting part, a receiving part and a signal processing circuit. The experiment was conducted not only the sensor performance but also factors that affect intensity. The main performance of this sensor is resolution of 0.37um and the non-linearity $0.7\%$ FS and the dynamic bandwidth of about 6.3kHz. As a result of rotation test, the prototype sensor showed an equivalent performance to a commercial eddy current sensor.

  • Wireless sensor network is an important research topic that has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. However, most of the interest has focused on wireless sensor network to gather scalar data such as temperature, humidity and vibration. Scalar data are insufficient for diverse applications such as video surveillance, target recognition and traffic monitoring. However, if we use camera sensors in wireless sensor network to collect video data which are vast in information, they can provide important visual information. Video sensor networks continue to gain interest due to their ability to collect video information for a wide range of applications in the past few years. However, how to efficiently store the massive data that reflect environmental state of different times in video sensor network and how to quickly search interested information from them are challenging issues in current research, especially when the sensor network environment is complicated. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a fast algorithm for extracting key frames from video and describe the design and implementation of key frame extraction and sharing in Android for wireless video sensor network.

  • A Steer-by-Wire system has so many advantages comparing with conventional mechanical steering system that it is expected to take key role in future environment friendly vehicle and intelligent transportation system. The mechanical connection between the hand wheel and the front axle will become obsolete. SBW system provides many benefits in terms of functionality, and at the same time present significant challenges - fault tolerant, fail safety - too. In this paper, failure analysis of SBW system will be performed and than sensor fusion technique will be proposed for fail safety of SBW system. A sensor fusion logic of steering angle sensor by using steering angle sensor, torque sensor and rack position sensor will be developed and simulated by fault injection simulation.
