In this paper, we fabricated a low-cost glucose sensor with a simpler structure and fabrication process than the existing glucose sensor. The currently used glucose sensor has a three-layer structure with upper, middle, and bottom plates; here, we fabricated a single-layer glucose sensor using only a printing and dispensing process. We successfully fabricated the glucose sensor using a simple method involving the formation of an electrode and insulator layer through a 2- or 3-step printing process on plastic or paper film, followed by the dispensing of glucose oxidase solution on the electrode. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and cyclic amperometry (CA) measurements were used to evaluate the characteristics of the fabricated single-layer glucose sensor. Also, its sensitivity was analyzed through glucose-controlled blood measurements. Hence, a low-cost single-layer glucose sensor was fabricated with evaluation of its characteristics demonstrating that it has useful application in medicine.

This paper proposes a compact-sized surface myoelectric sensor for myoelectric hand prosthesis. To fit the surface myoelectric sensor in the socket of the myoelectric hand prosthesis, the sensor should be a compact size. The surface myoelectric sensor is composed of a skin interface and a single processing circuit that are mounted on a single package. Since the skin interface has one reference and two input electrodes, and the reference electrode is located in middle of two input electrodes, we propose two types of sensors with the circle- and bar-shaped reference electrode, but all input electrodes are the bar-shaped. The metal material used for the electrodes is the stainless steel (SUS440) that endures sweat and wet conditions. Considering conduction velocity and median frequency of the myoelectric signal, we select the inter-electrode distance (IED) between two input electrodes as 18mm, 20mm, and 22 mm. The signal processing circuit consists of a differential amplifier with band pass filter, a band rejection filter for rejecting 60Hz power-line noise, amplifiers, and a mean absolute value circuit. We evaluate the proposed sensor from the output characteristics according to the IED and the shape of the reference electrode. From the experimental results we show the surface myoelectric sensor with the 18mm IED and the bar-shaped reference electrode is suitable for the myoelectric hand prosthesis.

We have fabricated a sensor system for on-line monitoring the oxygen permeability and diffusivity of six different polymer films using the miniaturized 6 cathode(Ag)-single anode(Ag/AgCl) type hexagonal oxygen electrode. This system consists of multiple input front-end electronics, signal conditioning circuit using the embedded microcontroller 80C196KC, PC interface circuit and PC with the OS for microcontroller and the operating program for this system. The digital low-[ass filter was programmed and the simulated filter characteristics were enough to eliminate the noise from sensor signal. According to the experimental results, the linearity coefficients of the output voltage to oxygen partial pressure for each sensor electrode of six cathode type oxygen sensor are 0.998, 0.997, 0.998, 0.997, 0.997, 0.997 respectively, and the response times are all within 4 minutes.

In order to get basic information on the reference electrode material for the long life Al concentration sensor in zinc galvanizing melt, the workability and stability of fluorine potential cell with $CaF_2$ single crystal electrolyte were examined carefully at constant temperature for six kinds of reference materials (Zn, Sn, Cd, Bi, Pb, Al-Sn alloy + fluorides). Good workability and stability of the sensor were found in sensor with $Bi+BiF_3$ reference electrode. The Al sensor with $Bi+BiF_3$ reference electrode was assembled and was tested in Zn-Al melt with different Al concentration. The EMF was changed rapidly with the change of Al concentration and was stabilized in a short time. Thus the response of EMF was satisfactory for $CaF_2$ sensor. The correlationship between EMF from the sensor and logarithm of Al concentration has been derived from the least square regression method. E/mV=57.515log[wt% Al]+1883.3 R=0.9717 ($0.013{\leq}[wt% Al]{\leq}0.984$) The EMF from Al sensor was increased linearly against logarithm of [wt% Al]. The fluorine potential of Zn-Al melt was also calculated to be in the range of $10^{-60}{\sim}10^{-61}$ Pa for the present experiemental condition.

A method is described for the design and fabrication of the sensor interface circuits on the Clark electrodes for the dissolved oxygen(DO). The discussion includes a method for the +5 V single-supply driving for the sensor circuits, which has low power comsumption for the front-end electronics. DO probe under test is composed of the Clark electrode with silver anode, gold cathode and the electrolyte of half saturated KCI solution and the FEP teflon memtrance for the oxygen penetration. Typical polarograms for the DO probes by using this sensor circuit reveals high accuracy over 99% of the I to V conversion. Partial pressure of oxygen obtained from the polarograms are well suited to the results calculated. It is expected that the proposed sensor circuits can be utilized into the customized IC for the battery-driven small-size DO meters.

센서의 안정도와 감도를 개선시킬 수 있는 단일전극을 가진 열선형 마이크로 가스센서를 제작하였다. 일반적으로, 금속산화물 반도체를 이용한 가스센서는 히터전극과 감지전극의 두 개의 전극을 가지고 있다. 제작된 센서는 히터전극위에 감지물질을 형성하여 단일 전극을 가지는 구조를 가지고 있다. 히터와 감지전극으로 사용되는 Pt는 glass 기판위에 스퍼터링법으로 형성하였으며 $SnO_2$ 감지물질은 제작된 Pt 전극위에 열증착시켜 형성하였다. $SnO_2$ 막은 lift-off 공정을 이용해서 패턴을 형성하고 1시간 동안 산소분위기에서 열산화하였다. 제작된 소자의 크기는 $1.9{\times}2.1\;mm^2$이다. CO 가스에 대한 감지특성을 조사한 결과 1,000 ppm에 대해 100 mV의 출력변화를 나타내었으며, 넓은 농도범위($0{\sim}10,000\;ppm$)에서 선형적인 전압출력을 나타내었다. 또한 가스 반응 전과 반응 후의 전압출력을 비교해 볼 때, 1% 이내의 편차를 나타내는 우수한 회복성을 나타내었다.

본 논문에서는 근전의수용 소형 근전위 센서를 제안한다. 근전의수용 근전위 센서를 의수 소켓에 내장시키기 위해서는 소형이어야 한다. 제안된 근전위 센서는 피부와 접촉하는 전극과 신호처리를 위한 회로부가 일체화된 형태로 소형화 하였다. 기준 전극은 두 입력전극의 가운데에 나란히 배치되고, 입력전극은 막대형, 기준전극은 막대형과 원형의 두 가지 형상으로 설계하였다. 두 입력전극 사이의 간격은 근섬유의 근전위 신호의 전도속도와 중심주파수를 고려하여 18mm, 20mm, 22mm 의 세 개의 서로 다른 간격을 가진 전극을 제작하였다. 사용된 전극의 재료는 땀이나 습기에 강한 SUS440 금속을 사용하였다. 신호처리 회로부는 대역통과 필터를 갖는 차동 증폭기, 전원노이즈를 제거하기 위한 대역저지 필터, 교류결합증폭기, 절대평균값 회로로 구성되어 있다. 실험에서는 정상인의 전완에서 근전위 신호를 취득하여 주파수 분석하고, 입력전극 사이의 간격과 기준전극의 형상에 따른 출력특성 평가하였다. 본 논문에서는 실험의 결과로부터 두 입력전극간의 거리가 18mm 이면서, 입력전극의 형상과 기준전극의 형상이 모두 막대형인 표면 근전위 센서가 근전의수에 최적임을 보인다.

In electrochemical glucose sensing, the enhancement of the sensitivity and the response time is essential in developing stable and reliable sensors, especially for continuous glucose monitoring. We developed a method to increase the sensitivity and to shorten the response time for the sensing upon the appropriate addition of single wall carbon nanotube onto the osmium polymer-based hydrogel electrode. Also, the background stabilization is dramatically enhanced.

The a-InGaZnO (a-IGZO) thin film transistor (TFT) has the advantages of larger mobility than that of amorphous silicon TFTs, acceptable reliability and uniformity over a large area, and low process cost. A capacitive-type touch sensor was studied with an a-IGZO TFT that can be used on the front side of a display due to its transparency. A capacitive sensor detects changes of capacitance between the surface of the finger and the sensor electrode. The capacitance varies according to the distance between the sensor plate and the touching or non-touching of the sensing electrode. A capacitive touch sensor using only one a-IGZO TFT was developed with the reduction of two bus lines, which made it easy to reduce the pixel pitch. The proposed sensor circuit maintained the amplification performance, which was investigated for various drive conditions.
