A simple disposable thick-film potentiometric strip has been developed and evaluated for hydroponics application. The strip consisted of low ion-selective electrodes (ISE) fabricated by screen-printing technology. The electrochemical responses of ion sensors for nitrate, ammonium, potassium, and magnesium were measured with specially designed 16-channel low voltage signal transducers. The analytical characteristics of the sensors were comparable with those of conventional ISE sensors. The thick-film sensors exhibit linear relationships over five concentration decades. The concentration of N $O_3$ - ion in standard solution can be determined by direct potentiometric measurements without any conditioning before measurements. However, measurement of $K^{+}$, N $H_4$$^{+}$, and $Mg^{2+}$ ionic concentrations in nutrient solutions seems not feasible.

We developed a self-operated paper pump that can maintain a nearly constant flow rate of an aqueous solution along a paper strip channel in paper-based analytical devices (PADs). The quasi-stationary flow rate was controlled by increasing the crosssectional channel area (capillary force) using a fan-shaped absorption pad coupled with a paper strip channel. The flow rate is regulated by varying the fan angle of the circular absorbing pad. Furthermore, the flow rate can be increased by furnishing a hollow cavity at the center of a conventional paper strip channel. The rate was regulated by varying the length of the hollow paper channel in the flow rate range of 5.1-26.4 mm/min. As a preliminary work, a paper-pump-coupled PAD was fabricated, and its CV detection capability was evaluated for the redox reaction of Fe(CN)₆^+4/+3. The combination of a paper pump with a PAD resulted in an ideal CV curve with a higher limiting current and faster response time. These results are interpreted well by the Levich equation, which suggests that the paper pump is a very useful component in paper-based sensors.

This paper designs a looper-tension controller for mass-flow stabilization in hot strip finishing mills. By Newton's 2nd law and Hooke's law, nonlinear dynamic equations on the looper-tension system are firstly derived, and linearized by a linearization algorithm using a Taylor's series expansion. Moreover, a tension calculation model is obtained from the nonlinear dynamic equations which is called as a soft sensor of strip tension between two neighboring stands. Next, a looper-tension servo controller is designed by an ILQ(Inverse Linear Quadratic optimal control) algorithm, and it is combined with a minimal disturbance observer which to attenuate speed disturbances by AGC and operator interventions, etc.. Finally, it is shown from by a computer simulation that the proposed ILQ controller with a disturbance observer is very effective in stabilizing the strip mass-flow under some disturbances, moreover it has a good command following performance.

본 논문에서는 근접 감지 사스템에 사용하기 위한 800 MHz대 스트립 할로 안테나를 유전율이 6.15인 유전체 기판을 사용하여 제작하였다. 유전체가판에서 스트립 할로 안테나를 구성하는 스트립 폭(w)과 간격(s), 그리고 안테나의 유효길이는 이론적인 시뮬레이션과 많은 반복설험을 통해서 최적조건을 찾았다. 그러나 이 안테나를 근접감지기에 설치할 경우, 무한 접지면이 아닌 한정된 원형 접지면 위에 설치한 스트립 할로 안테나로서 임피던스를 측정한 결과 16.5+j1.1[$\Omega$]이었다. 이 안테나의 정합 특성을 개선하기 위하여 유전체 기판의 뒷면에 실험에 의해 설계된 정합부를 구현함으로서 스트립 할로 안테나의 정합 특성을 크게 향상시켰디. 정합부를 갖는 스트립 할로 얀테나의 임피던스는 43.79-jO.04[$\Omega$]으로 측정되었으며, 이 안테나의 복사패턴의 3 dB 빔폭은 약 $90^{\circ}$로 측정되었다

본 연구에서는, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)와 면역크로마토그래픽 기법을 결합하여 Staphylococcus aureus 검출을 위한 면역스트립을 제작하였다. 면역스트립은 4개의 서로 다른 기능을 가진 멤브레인을 이용하여 만들어졌다. 니트로셀룰로오스 멤브레인은 항체와의 결합력이 높기 때문에, 포획항체를 고정화하였고, 다공성 멤브레인들을 통하여 모세관 현상으로 인해 시료흐름을 유도하였다. 효소반응에 의해 생성된 발색신호는 디지털카메라와 자체 제작된 소프트웨어를 이용하여 정성, 정량분석 하였다. 최적의 분석조건 하에서 30 min 이내에 $2.7{\times}10^4{\sim}2.7{\times}10^7CFU/mL$ 범위의 S. aureus 농도를 측정할 수 있었다.

The Tension Leveller of Cold Rolling Mill In POSCO performs levelling the strip in high speed line. But minor variations in operating condition of driving machines such as motor, gear box, and support bearings, a small gap-variation of supporter and strip slip by poor roll revolutions can cause serious problems in the quality of strip. In this study, firstly, A condition monitoring standard for each sensor is made through with the detail analysis of vibration and strip slip. Secondly, An automatic monitoring and diagnosing system was developed to monitor the condition of Tension Leveller, and diagnose the cause of abnormal condition. Finally, A diagnosing algorithm for abnormal condition and man-machine interface (MMI) for easy operation are developed.

In this paper, we study design of a ILQ(Inverse Linear Quadratic optimal control) looper control system for hot strip mills. The looper which is placed between stands plays an important role in controlling strip width by regulating strip tension variation generated from the velocity difference of main work rolls. A Looper servo controller is designed by ILQ control theory which is an inverse problem of LQ(Linear Quadratic optimal control) control. The mathematical model for looper system is obtained by Taylor´s linearization of nonlinear differential equations. Then we designed linear controller for linearization model by using the ILQ control algorithm. Thereafter this controller is applied to the nonlinear model for model identification. As a result, we show the controller´s robustness for the model error, external disturbance and sensor noise.

The purpose of this paper is to extract DEMs from Spot-3 strips using orbit modeling technique. Spot-3 stereo strip images along 420km in distance were used for experiments. The orbit modeling technique has been suggested to establish accurate geometric models for a whole strip taken on the same orbit using only a small number of GCPs on the top area of the strip. This method enables extraction of orientation parameters of the scene along the strip that is needed to generate DEMs. Consequently, we were able to extract DEMs over the areas without accurate GCPs obtained by GPS surveying per each scene. Assessment of accuracy was carried out using USGS DTED. DEMs generated from the orbit modelling technique suggested showed satisfactory performance when quantitative analysis of accuracy assessment was carried out.

본 연구에서는 스크린 프린팅 방법을 이용하여 이산화납($PbO_2$)/탄소 반죽 전극을 제작하고, 이를 전기화학 방법의 과일 천연당(포도당, 자당, 과당) 측정용 센서로 이용하였다. 이산화납/탄소 반죽전극은 탄수화물과 같은 유기화합물의 전기화학적 산화촉매 신호를 측정함으로써 효소를 사용하지 않고도 당의 측정이 가능하다. 또한 측정 시 심각한 방해작용을 하는 아스코르브산(ascorbic acid)은 Nafion 막을 전극표면에 도입함으로써 효과적으로 감소시켰다. 최적화된 Nafion/이산화납/탄소 반죽 전극은 사람이 느끼는 상대당도(과당>자당>포도당)와 유사하게 각 당에 대한 감응신호를 나타내었다.

This paper describes the development and evaluation of an innovative TDR distributed moisture sensor. This sensor features advantages of being responsive to the spatial variations of the soil moisture content. The geometry design of the sensor makes it rugged for field installation. Good linear calibration is obtained between the sensor measured dielectric constant and soil physical properties. Simulations by the finite element method (FEM) are conducted to assist the design of this sensor and to determine the effective sampling range. Compared with conventional types of moisture sensor, which only makes point measurement, this sensor possesses distributed moisture sensing capability. This new sensor is not only easy to install, but also measures moisture distribution with much lower cost. This new sensor holds promise to significantly improve the current field instruments. It will be a useful tool to help study the influence of a variety of moisture-related phenomena on infrastructure performance.
