  • In this paper, an algorithm to classify the 4 motions of arm and a control system to position control the prosthesis are studied. To classify the 4 motions, we use flex sensors which is electrical resistance type sensor that can measure warp of muscle. The flex sensors are attached to the biceps brchii muscle and coracobrachialis muscle and the sensor signals are passed the sensing system. 4 motion of the forearm - flexion and extension, the pronation and supination are classified from this. Also position of forearm is measured from the classified signals. Finally, A two D.O.F prosthesis arm with RC servo-motor is designed to verify the validity of the algorithm. At this time, fuzzy controller is used to reduce the position error by rotary inertia and noise. From the experiment, the position error had occurred within about 5 degree.

  • Silica encapsulated ZnSe quantum dots (QDs) were prepared by employing two microemulsion systems: AOT/water/cyclohexane microemulsions containing ZnSe quantum dots with NP5/water/cyclohexane microemulsions containing tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS). Using this method, cubic zinc blende nanoparticles (3 nm in diameter) were synthesized and encapsulated by silica nanoparticles (20 nm in diameter). The temperature dependence of photoluminescence (PL) for silica-encapsulated ZnSe QDs was investigated to evaluate this material as a temperature sensor media. The fluorescence emission intensity of silica-encapsulated ZnSe nanoparticles (NPs) was decreased with an increase of ambient temperature over the range from $30^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$ and a linear relationship between the temperature and the emission intensity was observed. In addition, the temperature dependence of PL intensity for silica-encapsulated ZnSe NPs showed a reversible pattern on ambient temperature. A reversible temperature dependence of the luminescence combined with its insensitivity toward quenching by oxygen due to silica coating established this material as an attractive media for temperature sensor applications.

  • In this study, the plasma etching of the TaN thin film with $CH_4/BCl_3/Ar$ gas chemistries was investigated. The etch rate of the TaN thin film and the etch selectivity of TaN to $SiO_2$ was studied as a function of the process parameters, including the amount of $CH_4$. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) was used to investigate the chemical states of the surface of the TaN thin film.

  • In these days, welding is the most commonly used metallic connection technology and also is the fundamental production technology of the modem industrial, which is used in various areas of the industrial fields, such as shipbuilding, automobiles, airplanes and plant facilities. However welding process produces strong light, electric currents, and fume gases etc., and the welding automation is not so easy compared to the other works of manufacturing industries which produce the standardized products in large quantities. So it is difficult to weld and detect the all kinds of seams automatically by a specific sensor. In this paper the sensor applying strain gauges is used to detect the seams of triangular wave form. With the auto carriage having the sensor we proposed the experiment to weld and track the seam automatically.

  • With mobile computing, wireless sensor network and sensor technologies, ubiquitous computing services are being realized and could satisfy the feasibility of ubiquitous healthcare to everyone. This u-Healthcare service can improve life quality of human since medical service can be provided to anyone, anytime, and anywhere. To confirm the vision of u-Healthcare service, we've implemented a healthcare system for heart disease patient which is composed of two components. Front-end collects various signals such as temperature, blood pressure, SpO2, and electrocardiogram, etc. As a backend, medical information server accumulates sensing data and performs back-end processing. To simply transfer these sensing values to a medical team may be too trivial. So, we've designed a model based on context awareness for more improved medical service which is based on artificial neural network. Through rigid experiments, we could confirm that the proposed system can provide improved medical service.

  • In this paper, the fabrication and feasibility study of clinical application with euripium doped gadollium oxide ($Gd_2O_3$:Eu) nano phosphor derived by low-temperature solution combustion method. From the fabricated phosphor, the photoluminescent characteristic and linearity as a function of phosphor film thickness were investigated to evaluate x-ray converstion properties. From the experimental results, the luminescent intensity was $2945pC/cm^2$-mR at $270{\mu}m$ $Gd_2O_3$:Eu film and this value is higher 1.2 time the conventional bulk phosphor, which is possible to imaging acquisition. And good linearity was shown at x-ray exposure range for clinical diagnostic application.

  • To develop the highly sensitive TLD radiation sensors, $BaSO_{4}$ : Eu-PTFE TLDs are fabricated by polymerizing the PTFE(polytetrafluoroethylene) with $BaSO_{4}$ : Eu TL phosphors. The $BaSO_{4}$ : Eu TL phosphors having the highest sensitivity of $X/{\gamma}$-rays are obtained by sintering at $1000^{\circ}C$ in $N_{2}$ atmosphere a mixture of $BaSO_{4}$ powder with 1mol% Eu($Eu_{2}O_{3}$), 6mol% $NH_{4}Cl$ and 5mol% $(NH_{4})_{2}SO_{4}$ which were co-precipitated in dilute sulfuric acid and then dried. The activation energy, frequency factor and kinetic order of $BaSO_{4}$ : Eu TL phosphor are 1.17eV, $3.6{\times}10^{11}/sec$ and 1.25, respectively. And the spectral peak of $BaSO_{4}$ : Eu is about 425nm. The optimum TL Phosphor content and thickness of the $BaSO_{4}$ : Eu-PTFE TLD are 40wt% and $105.7mg/cm^{2}$. The optimum polymerization temperature and time for fabrication of $BaSO_{4}$ : Eu-PTFE TLDs are $380^{\circ}C$ and 2 hours in air, respectively. The linear dose range to ${\gamma}$ rays is 0.01-20Gy and fading rate is about 10%/60hours.

  • Contact-type linear image sensors for facsimile have been fabricated by means of rf glow discharge decomposition method of silane. The dependence of their electrical and optical properties on rf power, $SiH_4$ flow rate, ambient gas pressure, $H_2SiH_4$ ratio and substrate temperature are described. The a-Si:H monolayer demonstriated photosensitivity of 0.85 and $I_{ph}/I_d$ ratio of 100 unger 100 lux illumination. However, this monolayer has relatively high dark current due to carrier injection from both electrodes, resulting in low $I_{ph}/I_{dd}$ ratio. To suppress the dark current we have fabricated $SiO_2/i-a-Si:H/p-a-Si:H:B$ multilayer film with blocking structure. The photocurrent of this multilayer sensor with 6 V bias became saturated ar about 20nA under 10 lux illumination, while the dark current was less than 0.2 nA. Moreover, the spectral sensitivity of the multilayer film was enhanced for short wavelength visible region, compared with that of the a-Si:H monolayer. These results show that the fabricated photocon-ductive film can be used as the linear image sensor of the facsimile.

  • 본 연구에서는 최근 다양한 전자 소자로써의 연구가 진행되고 있는 그라핀을 SiO2/Si 기판 위에 전자빔 식각(Electron-Beam Lithography)을 이용하여 후면 게이트 전극 구조의 그라핀 채널을 갖는 삼단자 소자를 형성하고 가스 유입이 가능한 진공 Probe Measurement System을 이용하여 금속 전극과 그라핀 간의 접촉저항 (Rc) 및 길이가 다른 채널저항(Rch)를 구하고, 채널 길이, 가스 유량, 온도, 게이트 전압에 따른 I-V 변화를 측정함으로써, 후면 게이트 전극 구조의 그라핀 채널을 갖는 삼단자 소자의 가스 센서로서의 가능성을 연구하였다. 후면 게이트 전극 구조의 그라핀 채널을 갖는 삼단자 소자는 전자빔 식각(Electron-Beam Lithography)에 의해 패턴을 제작하고 Evaporator를 이용하여 전극을 증착 하였다. 소자의 소스 (Source)와 드레인 (Drain)은 TLM (Transfer Length Method)패턴을 이용하여 인접한 두 개의 전극간 범위를 변화시키는 형태로 제작함으로써 소스-드레인간 채널 길이가 다르게 하였다. 이 때 전극의 크기는 가로, 세로 각각 $20{\mu}m$, $40{\mu}m$이며 전극간 간격은 $20/30/40/50/60{\mu}m$로 서로 다르게 배열 하였다. 제작된 그라핀 소자는 진공 Probe Measurement System 내에서 게이트 전압(VG)를 변화시킴으로써 VG 변화에 따른 소자의 특성을 평가하였는데, mTorr 상태의 챔버 내로 O2 가스를 주입하여 그라핀의 Dangling bond 및 Defect site에 결합 된 가스로 인한 전기적 특성의 변화를 측정하고, 이 때 가스의 유량을 50 sccm에서 500 sccm 까지 변화시킴으로써 전기적 특성 변화를 측정하여 센서 소자의 민감도를 평가하였다. 또한, 서로 다르게 배열한 소스-드레인 간의 채널 길이로 인하여 채널과의 접촉 면적에 따른 센서 소자의 민감도 또한 평가할 수 있었다. 그리고 챔버 내 온도를 77 K에서 400 K까지 변화시킴으로써 온도에 따른 소자의 작동 범위를 확인하고 소자의 온도의존성을 평가하였다.
