We suggested a microwave sensor structure and fabricated experimentally to detect particular particles in the air which are difficult to detect using conventional UWB sensors because their reaction frequencies to electromagnetic waves are too high. In the experiment to detect water particles in the air with up-conversion frequency of 10GHz, we verified detect signal amplitude variation of 75% depending on presence or absence of water particles. The suggested structure can be useful to detect particular materials at the high frequencies more than a few 10th GHz, because the same method can be applied to detect other materials.

Fiber optic sensor is widely used in measuring acoustic and vibration. Especially interferometric sensors are more suitable to measure the acoustic signal. In this paper, a Fabry-Perot interferometric fiber optic sensor was used to measure flow induced vibration. This vibration also measured using an accelerometer, and the data was compared to one other. The venture, nozzle, drop barrel, and rapid expansion in the pipeline are the measuring objects. The flow rate is changed from 50 L/min to 150 L/min and the average flow velocity was about 7 m/s. Based on the experimental results the suggested fiber optic sensor detects flow induced vibration effectively. Therefore, this kind of fiber optic sensor can be applied to the monitoring the flow induced noise and vibration such as pipelines, cables, buildings.

The feasibility of producing a practical buried fiber optic sensor with high sensitivity for detecting intruders is demonstrated. Experiments were carried out with the use of an all fiber Michelson interferometer, the sensing arm of which was buried in sand. When the sensing arm was buried 8 inches deep in sand, the pressure length product required for a half fringe shift in: the sensor output was $1.09\;kPa{\cdot}m$. The relation between the applied weight and the phase change was almost linear. Experimental results indicated that the sensitivity of the optical fiber sensor was sufficient to detect people on foot and vehicles passing over the buried fiber.

With the upcoming era of internet of things, the study of sensor network has been paid attention. Raspberry pi is a tiny versatile computer system which is able to act as a sensor node in hadoop cluster network. In this paper, we deployed 5 Raspberry pi's to construct an experimental testbed of hadoop sensor network with 5-node map-reduce hadoop software framework. We compared and analyzed the network architecture in terms of efficiency, resource management, and throughput using various parameters. We used a learning machine with support vector machine as test workload. In our experiments, Raspberry pi fulfilled the role of distributed computing sensor node in the sensor network.

센서 네트워크는 관심이 있는 현상을 관찰하기 위해서 관찰지역 내에 뿌려진 센서 노드들로 구성된다. 센서 네트워크를 구성하는 각 센서 노드들의 수명은 전체 센서 네트워크 수명에 많은 영양을 준다. 하나의 센서 노드가 수명을 다 했을 때 이는 센서 네트워크의 분할을 가져 올 수도 있다. 그러므로 모든 센서 노드들이 공평하게 다 같이 오래 사는 것이 전체 센서 네트워크의 수명을 연장하는 것이다. 이 논문에서 우리는 클러스터 기반의 에너지 효율적인 라우팅 프로토콜(Cluster-eased Power-Efficient Routing Protocol CBPER)을 제안하였다. 제안된 프로토콜은 여러 개의 유동성 싱크 노드를 가진 센서 네트워크에서 에너지 효율적인 데이터 전송을 지원하며 효율적인 라우팅을 위해서 각 센서 노드의 위치정보를 기반으로 만든 그리드 구조를 이용한다. 제안된 프로토콜의 성능을 평가하기 위해서 두 계층 데이터 전송 라우팅 (Two-Tier Data Dissemination Routing： TTDD) 프로토콜과 비교를 하였다. 실험결과는 CBPER 프로토콜이 TTDD 라우팅 프로토콜 보다 좀 더 에너지 효율적이라는 결과를 보여 준다.

Applications of smart sensors have been extended to safety systems in the aerospace, transportation and civil engineering fields. In particular, structural health monitoring techniques using smart sensors have gradually become necessary and have been developed to prevent dangers to human life and damage to assets. Generally, smart sensors are based on electro-magnets and have several weaknesses, including electro-magnetic interference and distortion. Therefore, fiber optic sensors are an outstanding alternative to overcome the weaknesses of electro-magnetic sensors. However, they require expensive devices and complex systems. This paper proposes a new, affordable and simple sensor system that uses a single fiber to monitor pressures at multiple-points. Moreover, a prototype of the sensor system was manufactured and tested for a feasibility study. Based on the results of this experimental test, a relationship was carefully observed between the bend loss conditions and light-intensity. As a result, it was shown that impacts at multiple-points could be monitored.

To substitute TLS in the hybrid system which is combined with Sagnac interferometer and fiber bragg grating (FBG) it is necessary to investigate how the laser source (TLS and CW) and sensor material variate the response of fiber optic sensor. Two different hollow cylinder type mandrel materials are proposed which are PTFE and PTFE+carbon and 18 m optical fiber is wounded at the mandrel surface. CW laser source experiments had been done in the oil tank which is filled with transformer oil in the 1 kHz~20 kHz frequency range. Also Sagnac interferometer fiber optic sensor is combined with FBG called hybrid system and TLS used as a light source. Based on the experimental results PTFE sensor showed more higher magnitude of detection signal rather than carbon sensor and this result is agreement with the McMahon's theoretical results. Phase variation is inversely proportional to the elastic modulus of the mandrel material. In PTFE fiber sensor, tunable laser source showed more higher performance rather than CW case. Therefore, TLS fiber optic sensor can be applied to the hybrid system which is combined with Sagnac and FBG.

This study aimed to determine the effects of the shape and attachment position of stretchable textile sensors coated with carbon nanotube on their performance when used to measure children's joint movements. Moreover, the child-safe requirements for fabric motion sensors are established. The child participants were advised to wear integrated clothing equipped with the sensors of various shapes (rectangular and boat-shaped) and attachment positions (at the knee and elbow joints or 4 cm below the joints). The voltage change induced by the elongation and contraction of the fabric sensors was determined for arm and leg flexion-extension motions at 60 deg/s (three measurements of 10 repeats each for 60°and 90°angles, for a total of 60 repetitions). Their dependability was determined by comparing the fabric motion sensors to the associated acceleration sensors. The experimental results indicate that the rectangular-shaped sensor affixed 4 cm below the joint is the most effective fabric motion sensor for measuring children's arm and leg motions. In this study, we designed a textile sensor capable of tracking children's joint motion and analyzed the sensor shape and attachment position on motion sensing clothing. We demonstrated that flexible fabric sensors integrated into garments may be used to detect the joint motions of the human body.
