(주)인벤티오는 신개념 하중측정 기술인 NGWS(Next Generation's Weighing Sensor)를 개발하고 있다. 이 기술은 기존 하중센서인 로드셀(Load Cell)과 마그네틱밸런스용 하중센서(Magnetic Balance)의 장점을 두루갖춰 현재 측정 곤란한 고하중, 고정밀 분야의 측정을 가능케 하는 등 기존 하중센서 시장을 재편할 것이라 예상되고 있다. (주)인벤티오는 이 기술의 완성도를 높이기 위해 기술보증기금으로부터 기술가치평가를 받았으며, 중소기업청에서 추진하는 2007년 신기술아이디어 사업으로 채택되어 기술개발 자금을 지원 받았다.

한의학에서는 사상체질(태양인, 태음인, 소양인, 소음인) 구분을 위해 손등피부의 특징 중 하나인 거침/미끄러움을 이용하여 한의사의 주관적인 판단으로 사상체질을 구분해 왔다. 한의사의 손등피부 거칠기의 주관적인 촉진을 정량적 및 객관적으로 진단하기 위하여 피부마찰력진단기기를 개발하였다. 피부마찰력진단기기는 3축 로드셀 센서를 이용하여 한의사가 손등피부를 만지는 것과 같은 움직임으로 측정하며, 측정된 물리량 중 피부의 거침/미끄러움으로 계산되는 운동마찰계수 값을 이용하여 손등피부의 특성을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서는 피부마찰력 진단기기를 이용하여 객관적으로 손등피부의 특성을 측정해 보고 사상체질 진단의 객관적인 지표를 찾는 것을 목표로 한다.

A scratch tester was developed to evaluate the adhesive strength at interface between thin-film and substrate(silicon wafer). Under force control, the scratch tester can measure the normal and the tangential forces simultaneously as the probe tip of the equipment approaches to the interface between thin-film and substrate of wafer. The capacity of each component of force sensor is 0.1 N ${\sim}$ 100 N. In addition, the tester can detect the signal of elastic wave from AE sensor(frequency range of 900 kHz) attached to the probe tip and evaluate the bonding strength of interface. Using the developed scratch tester, the feasibility test was performed to evaluate the adhesive strength of thin-film.

A capacitive water sensor was developed to measure the capacitance over a wide part of a substrate using an insulated electrode plate (30 cm × 10 cm) with copper and Teflon attached on either side of the substrate. This study aimed to convert the capacitance output obtained from the condenser-type capacitance sensor into the substrate water content. The quantification experiment was performed by measuring the changes in substrate water weight and capacitance while providing a nutrient solution and by subsequently comparing these values. The substrate water weight and capacitance were measured every 20 to 30 seconds using the sensor and load cell with a software developed specifically for this study. Using a curve-fitting program, the substrate water content was estimated from the output of the capacitance using the water weight and capacitance of the substrate as variables. When the amount of water supplied was increased, the capacitance tended to increase. Coefficient of variation (CV) in capacitance according to the water weight in substrate was greater with the 1.0 kg of water weight, compared with other weights. Thus, the fitting was performed with higher than 1.0 kg, from 1.7 to 6.0 kg of water weight. The correlation coefficient between the capacitance and water weight in substrate was 0.9696. The calibration equation estimated water content from the capacitance, and it was compared with the substrate water weight measured by the load cell.

Recently, the prevalence of remotely managed patient care systems in medical institutions is increasing due to COVID-19. In particular, in the case of fluid monitoring, hospitals are considering introducing it as a system that can reduce patient safety and nurses' work. There are two products under development: a load cell method that measures weight and a method that detects drops of sap by infrared sensing. Although each product has differences in operation principle, sensor type, size, usage, and price, medical institutions are highly interested in the accuracy of the data obtained.In this study, two prototypes with different sensor methods were manufactured and the total amount of infusion per hour was measured to test the accuracy, which is the core of the infusion monitoring device. In addition, when there was an external movement, the change in the measured value of the sap was tested to evaluate the accuracy according to the measurement method. As a result of the experiment, there was a difference of less than 5% in the measurement value error of the two devices, and the load cell method showed a difference in the low-capacity measurement value and the infrared method in the high-capacity measurement value. As a result of this experiment, there was little difference in accuracy according to the sensor method of the infusion monitoring device, and it is considered that there is no problem in accuracy when used in a medical institution.

일반적인 엘리베이터 시스템에서는 로드셀이라고 하는 센서가 설치되어 탑승자를 포함한 모터에 걸리는 전체부하를 측정한다. 그리고 이 무게 정보는 브레이크가 풀리고 엘리베이터가 움직이기 시작하기 전에 토크 전향보상을 하는데 사용되고, 엘리베이터는 브레이크 개방 과정에서 정지상태를 유지하여 엘리베이터가 부드럽게 출발하도록 한다. 안티롤백은 로드셀없이 브레이크가 열리는 동안에 위치 편차를 억제하는 기능이다. 다른 회사에서는 이 기능을 기존의 PI 제어기를 사용하여 개발하였다. 반면에 이 논문에서는 안티롤백 기능을 위하여 상태궤환 위치제어기를 사용하였으며 그 적절성을 논의한다.

The most frequent type of safety-accident in industry is the overturning of forklift. The leading cause of this accident is overload in forklift. Thus, it is needed to measure the weight on board of forklift. The most common method is based on load cell, and this method has the merit of high accuracy. However, high price is the disadvantage of this method. In this paper, we propose the new measurement system of the weight on board of forklift based on the strain gauge sensor, which has the disadvantage of low accuracy. The differentiation of the proposed system is that the shape of the strain gauge sensor customized for anchor bolt of forklift in order to improve the accuracy and durability. In system four strain gauge sensors are inserted into four anchor bolts. The test result shows that 1% error of measurement is obtained in the proposed anchor bolt type strain gauge sensors.

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.
