In this paper, we propose the possible way of accurate analysis and examination of ITO sensor to discriminate whether mutual capacitance ITO sensor is defective by using mutual capacitance of data in each node which consists of electrodes inside of ITO sensor. We have analyzed the structure characteristic of mutual capacitance ITO sensor which is used as an input device for not only small size electronics like mobile phone and tablets but also big size electronics and designed the circuit to inspect ITO sensor using touch screen panel IC. Set a variable related with mutual capacitance of charge and discharge and Implement to find and analyze accurate position when defect is made through the data from each node of ITO sensor. First, we can set a yield effective range through the first experiment data of mutual capacitance ITO sensor and by using the data of each node of ITO sensor which is the result from the second experiment, we can verify accuracy and effectiveness of effective range from the first experiment as a sample which is used in this experiment.

In this study, to establish a web-based bridge monitoring system with wireless sensor network environment, we constructed microminiaturized sensor based wireless communication techniques and micro processing, databases for data combination and administration, variable control programs and processors for transferring data by internet. Then those data are measured and analyzed by the constructed bridge monitoring system with wireless sensors. To evaluate the practicability of the bridge monitoring system with wireless sensor, we compared the values measured in the tests with wire sensor under same conditions. The results show that the trend of the data obtained from the monitoring systems with wire sensors and wireless sensors was very similar but the some lost data in the communication process with wireless sensor network environment. And through laboratory and field tests, the effectiveness and the applicability of the proposed methods were verified.

This paper is presented an accurate localization scheme for mobile robots based on the fusion of ultrasonic satellite (U-SAT) with inertial navigation system (INS), i.e., sensor fusion. Our aim is to achieve enough accuracy less than 100 mm. The INS consist of a yaw gyro, two wheel-encoders. And the U-SAT consist of four transmitters, a receiver. Besides the localization method in this paper fuse these in an extended Kalman filter. The performance of the localization is verified by simulation and two actual data(straight, curve) gathered from about 0.5 m/s of driving actual driving data. localization methods used are general sensor fusion and sensor fusion through Kalman filter using data from INS. Through the simulation and actual data studies, the experiment show the effectiveness of the proposed method for autonomous mobile robots.

This paper reports the results of an experimental study using the BOTDR sensor to detect the unbonded location of attached CFRP sheet for structural rehabilitation. A specimens with the unattached CFRP sheet were fabricated for this study, on which BOTDR sensor was attached with a nylon net. During the flexural test of the specimens, the strain of the CFRP sheet was measured using the BOTDR sensor and electric resistance gauges. From the results, it was confirmed that the strain distribution obtained through the BOTDR sensor can be effectively used to visualize and detect the unbonded position of the CFRP sheet. In addition, In addition, the strain measured by the BOTDR sensor was found to be more effective in analyzing the overall structure behavior than the electric resistance strain gauge. The development of a BOTDR sensor with a measuring longth of less than 100 mm will enable accurate detection of the local unbonded position of the CFRP sheet.

The purpose of this study is to measure the lathe tool vibration and verify its usefulness using the fiber optic interferometeric sensor instead of using common accelerometer. To compare two vibration signals a Fabry-Perot fiber optic sensor(FOS) is directly attached to the left-side surface of the lathe tool and an accelerometer is attached near to the fiber optic sensor. Measurement signals from the FOS and theoretical results of receptance simulation are compared. When the amplitude of tool vibration increased the frequency shift phenomena was occurred. This means that mass effect occurred and vibration spectrum moved to the low frequency region. Generally this results is agreement to the regenerative chatter. The chatter frequency is not same as the natural frequency of the tool itself. The FOS can also applied to laboratory experiments for students. This experimental technique is perhaps the first attempts because of directly attachment technique. Therefore, suggested Fabry-Perot fiber optic sensor can be used to monitoring the tool wear and vibration.

This paper proposes the physical human-robot interaction method that controls the robot arms using ITO touch panel sensor as the skin of robot. To implement physical human-robot interaction, the method of using the force/torque sensor and the method of using tactile sensor created by arranging small element type of sensor have been studied. However, these sensors have the pros and cons in terms of price and performance. This study aims to demonstrate the economy of element type sensor and the accuracy of force/torque sensor through experiment by proposing the method of physical interaction using the touch panel as the skin of robot, and by constructing overall system. The experiment was carried out for the method of controlling the robot arm by installing end-effecter and the method of controlling robot arm by creating the gesture with reference point on the touch panel. Through this experiment, the possibility of teaching control using the touch panel was confirmed.

In order to obtain the dynamic response behavior of the rock subjected to blasting loading, a shock-proof high sensitivity impact sensor which can measure high frequency dynamic force and strain events should be adopted. Because the impact sensors which uses quartz and piezoelectric element are costly, generally the strain measurement-based impact (SMI) sensors are applied to high speed loading devices. In this study, dynamic Brazilian tension tests of granitic rocks was conducted using the Nonex Rock Cracker (NRC) reaction driven-high speed loading device which adopts SMI sensors. The dynamic response of the granite specimens were monitored and the intermediate strain rate dependency of Brazilian tensile strengths was discussed.

The purpose of this study is to test the adaptability of the CO sensor as a fire detector by analyzing its sensing characteristics on fire. In order to test the applicability, we designed and made a fire testing ground whose size is similar to that regulated by UL 268, carried out real fire tests suggested by UL 268, and conducted a comparison analysis on the sensing characteristics between the CO sensor and a photoelectric smoke detector by different types of fire source. The experiment result to the sensing characteristics of the CO sensor is about twice to three times faster than that of the photoelectric smoke detector, proceeding with incomplete combustion such as paper and wood fire source in the initial fire. Especially in case of wood smoldering fire, sensing characteristics of the CO sensor is very excellent.

In this paper, we implemented a system to measure respiration rate with nonrestraint sensors comfortable for people to do their everyday life. The proposed system consists of a pad covered with a Piezoelectric sensor, a respiration measuring device able to send the signal data after amplifying and filtering the source signals to the viewer, a viewer providing sensor data visualization and implementing the respiration measuring algorithm. The algorithm is based on a breathing cycle with the local peak points extracted from threshold on sensor data. Respiration measurements on 3 subjects were performed by changing moving averages and thresholds. The proposed system showed less than 5% error rate when proper moving averages are N=50~60 and a range of thresholds is 800~1300. The system will contribute to preventing suffocation during sleep for infants and the elderly living alone.

Recently, the event of slope failure has been occurring frequently due to rapid climate changes and broad development of infrastructures, and the research for establishment of monitoring and prevention system has been an attentive issue. The major influence factors of slope failure mechanism can be considered moisture and temperature in soil, and the slope failure can be monitored and predicted through the trend of moisture-temperature change. Therefore, the combined sensing technology for the continuous measurement of moisture-temperature with different soil depths is needed for the slope monitoring system. The various independent sensors for each item (i.e. temperature and moisture respectively) have been developed, however, the research for development of combined sensing system has been hardly carried out. In this study, the high-fidelity sensor combing temperature-moisture measurement by using the minimized current consuming temperature circuit and the microwave emission moisture sensor is developed and applied on the slope failure monitoring system. The feasibility of developed monitoring system is verified by various experimental approaches such as standard performance test, mockup test and long-term field test. As a result, the developed temperature-moisture combined measurement system is verified to be measuring and monitoring the temperature and moisture in soil accurately.
