본 논문에서는 원격 화학 센서로 활용 가능한 플렉서블 미세유체 메타물질 흡수체를 제안한다. 제안된 흡수체는 잉크젯 프린팅 기법으로 종위 기판 위에 인쇄한 분할고리공진기(SRCR: Split Ring Cross Resonator)와 Polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) 기판에 레이저 식각된 미세유체 채널로 구성되어 있어 매우 유연한 특징을 보인다. 본 연구에서 제안한 메타물질 흡수체는 미세유체 채널에 주입된 화학물질에 따른 실효 유전율의 변화를 공진주파수의 이동으로 감지할 수 있다. 제안된 흡수체는 시뮬레이션과 측정을 통하여 성능을 검증하였다. 측정 결과, 공기의 경우에는 10.49 GHz에서 흡수가 되었고, 에탄올과 탈이온수의 경우에는 각각 10.04 GHz와 8.9 GHz에서 흡수체로 동작함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Carbon paste전극을 백금도금 한 후 이 전극을 사용한 일회용 전류법 glucose센서를 제작하였다. 전극에 시료용액을 가한 후, voltammetry을 이용하여 본 센서의 감응성을 연구하였다. screen printing된 carbon paste전극 표면 위에 전기도금 방법으로 도입된 백금은 센서의 분석성능과 mediator의 전기 화학적 가역성을 크게 향상시켜 준다. 제작된 센서가 $[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-/3-}$에 대한 heterogeneous rate constant는 $1.45\times10^{-2}cm{\cdot}s^{-1}$이며, 이 센서는 적용전위 0.3V vs. Ag/AgCl에서 glucose에 대한 좋은 감응성을 보여주었다. 이 때 glucose에 대한 Michaelis-Menten상수는 24.5mM이다. 일회용 glucose 스트립 센서의 분석성능을 평가하기 위하여 NOVA S.P. Ultra M analyzer와 비교실험을 수행하였다. 이 때 시료용액으로서 $80\~297 mg/dL$ 범위의 glucose를 함유하고 있는 30여 종류의 혈청을 사용하였고, 상관계수는 0.983으로서 정밀도와 정확도가 비교적 우수함을 보여주었다.

Conducting polymer (Polypyrrole) and Tin oxide ($SnO_{2}$) composite films have been fabricated with layer-by-layer technique. $SnO_{2}$ layer was screen-printed on $Al_{2}O_{3}$ substrate and then was dip-coated with polypyrrole (Ppy). The microstructures of composite films were evaluated by a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and FTIR spectral analysis. The change in sensitivity to various VOCs was observed. The target VOCs were methanol, ethanol, benzene and toluene. The sensitivities of the $Ppy/SnO_{2}$ sensor to benzene and toluene were very low at 1000 ppm (2.1 %, 1.5 %), while the sensitivities to methanol and ethanol was high (9 %, 11 %). It indicates that the sensors have selectivity to alcoholic gases such as methanol and ethanol.

Drop casting, a solution process, is a simple low-cost fabrication technique that does not waste material. In this study, we elucidate the effect of the concentration of a InGaZnO solution on the electrical properties of drop-cast oxide thin-film transistors. The higher the concentration the larger the amount of remnant InGaZnO solutes, which yields a thicker thin film. Accordingly, the electrical properties were strongly dependent on the concentration. At a high concentration of 0.3 M (or higher), a large current flowed but did not lead to switching characteristics. At a concentration lower than 0.01 M, switching characteristics were observed, but the mobility was small. In addition to a high mobility, sufficient switching characteristics were obtained at a concentration of 0.1 M owing to the appropriate thickness of the semiconductor layer. This study provides a technical basis for the low-cost fabrication of switching devices capable of driving a sensor array.

In this paper, effect of catalytic configuration on the sensing properties of $SnO_2$ nanoparticle gas sensitive thick film was investigated. Two types of catalytic configuration, mono and binary, were made on the $SnO_2$ nanoparticle. In case of mono catalytic system, $3 wt\%$ Pd or Pt catalyst was doped onto the $SnO_2$ nanoparticle, respectively. In case of binary catalytic system, Pd and Pt was doped simultaneously with concentration ratio of 1:2 to 2:1 onto the $SnO_2$ nanoparticle. After doping, gas sensitive thick film was printed on alumina substrate and heat-treated at 450 to $600^{\circ}C$. Gas sensing properties was evaluated using 500 to 10,000 ppm $CH_4$ gas. As a result, gas sensitive thick film with binary catalytic system showed unstable phenomena that the gas sensitivity was changed according to aging time. In contrary, the mono catalytic system showed relatively stable phenomena despite of aging time. Especially, gas sensitive thick film doped with $3 wt\%$ Pt catalyst and heat-treated at $500^{\circ}C$ showed good sensing properties such as 0.57 of $R_{3500}/R_{1000}$ and very small variation within $3.5\%$ after aging for 5 hours, and response time was very short less than 20 seconds.

When designing image sensors including a CMOS vision chip for edge detection, resolution is a significant factor to evaluate the performance. It is hard to improve the resolution of a bio-inspired CMOS vision using a resistive network because the vision chip contains many circuits such as a resistive network and several signal processing circuits as well as photocircuits of general image sensors such as CMOS image sensor (CIS). Low resolution restricts the use of the application systems. In this paper, we improve the resolution through layout and circuit optimization. Furthermore, we have designed a printed circuit board using FPGA which controls the vision chip. The vision chip for edge detection has been designed and fabricated by using $0.35{\mu}m$ double-poly four-metal CMOS technology, and its output characteristics have been investigated.

Recently, the small-size mobile robots with remote-control are rapidly growth which market of mobile is increased in the world. Especially, the smart-phones are widely used for interface device in the small size of a mobile robot. The research goal is control system design which is applied to miniaturization of a mobile robot using smart-phone and it can be confirmed performance for designed system. Meanwhile, the fabrication of mini-mobile robot can also be remote-control operation through the WIFI performance of a smart-phone. The smart-phone is used to remote-control for robot operation which control data transmit to robot via the WIFI network. To drive the robot, we can observe by the smart-phone screen and it can easily adjust the robot drive condition and direction by smart-phone button. Consequentially, there was no malfunction and images were printed out well. However, in drive, because of blind spot, robot was bumped into obstacle. Therefore, the additional test is necessary to sensor for blind spot which sensor can be equipment to mobile robot. In addition, the experiment with robot object recognition is needed.

This paper presents the basic research for the design and fabrication of a 3D-printed load cell made of NCPC (nano-carbon piezo-resistive composite). We designed a structure that can resonate at a low frequency range of about 5-6 Hz with ANSYS using sensitivity analysis and a response surface method. The design was verified by fabricating the device with a low-quality commercial 3D printer and ABS filament. We conducted a feasibility test for a commercial sensor using 1000 cyclic load tests at 0.3 Hz in a material testing system. A manufacturing process for the 3D printer filament based on the NCPC was also developed using the nano-composite process.

There is an increasing interest in monitoring of specific biomarker for determining progression of a disease or efficacy of a treatment. Conventional method for quantification of specific biomarkers as enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has high material costs, long incubation periods, requires large volume of samples and involves special instruments, which necessitates clinical samples to be sent to a lab. This paper reports on the development of an electrochemical biosensor to measure total immunoglobulin E (IgE), a marker of asthma disease that varies with age, gender, and disease in concentrations from 0.3-1000 ng/mL with consuming 20 µL volume of whole blood sample. The sensor provides rapid, accurate, easy, point-of-care measurement of IgE, also, sequential monitoring of total IgE with ovalbumin (OVA) induced mice is another application of sensor. Taken together, these results provide an alternative way for detection of biomarkers in whole blood with low volumes and long-term ex-vivo assessments for understanding the progression of a disease.
