A micro flow sensor on silicon substrate allows the fabrication of small components where many different functions can be integrated so that the functionality of the sensors can be increased. Further more, the small size of the elements these sensors can be quite fast. A thermal mass flow sensor measures the asymmetry of temperature profile around the heater which is modulated by the fluid flow. In normal, a mass flow sensor is composed of a central heater and a pair of temperature sensing elements around the heater A new 2-D wide range micro flow sensor structure with three pairs of temperature sensors and a central heater was proposed and numerically simulated by Finite Difference formulation to confirm the feasibility of the flow sensor structure in time domain.

The maintenance of sensor networks, installed in a wide area has been an issue for a long time. In order to solve this problem, studies to supply energy to a sensor network using a robot has been carried out by several researchers. In this study, for a sensor network consisting of power nodes supplied with energy by multiple robots and sensor nodes around them, we propose a method of allocating a work area using a modified k-means algorithm so that the robots move the minimum distance. Through the simulation study using the energy transfer rate of the robot as a variable, it is shown that nodes of each allocated area can maintain survival, and the validity of the proposed modified k-means algorithm is verified.

With the rapid development of technologies related to Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN), sensors are being utilized in various application areas. In general, the data sensed by each sensor node on ubiquitous sensor networks are stored into the central server for efficient search. Because update is delayed to reduce the cost of update in this environment, uncertain data can be stored in the central server. In addition, Uncertain data make query processing produce wrong results in the central server. Thus, this paper examines how to process uncertain data in ubiquitous sensor networks and suggests a new index for efficient processing of uncertain data. The index reduces the cost of update by delaying update in uncertainty areas. Uncertainty areas are areas where uncertain data are likely to exist. In addition, it solves the problem of low accuracy in search resulting from update delay by delaying update only for specific update areas. Lastly, we analyze the performance of the index and prove the superiority of its performance by comparing its performance evaluation.

무선 센서 네트워크란 센서를 통해 주변환경에 대한 정보를 수집하고 센서간의 무선 통신을 이용하여 다른 센서들과 정보를 나눔으로써 하나의 네트워크를 구성하는 것이며, 최근 기술 발전으로 인해 다양한 센서들이 널리 보급되면서 다양한 응용 분야가 등장하고 있다. 최근에는 다양해져가는 센서 네트워크에서 카메라 센서 기반 도로 감시 센서 네트워크에 대한 이슈가 대두되고 있으며, 도로 감시 센서 네트워크의 영역이 점점 대규모화가 되면서 최소의 네트워크 구축 비용으로 센서 네트워크의 요구사항을 만족하는 센서 배치 문제에 관심이 증가되고 있다. 본 고에서는 카메라 센서 기반 도로 상황을 감지하는 네트워크에서 최소의 네트워크 구축비용으로 이벤트 감지에 대한 성능을 보장하는 센서 배치 기법을 고려한다. 이를 위해 카메라 센서의 이벤트 전달 및 감지 성능을 만족하는 센서간의 간격을 도출하여서 이를 센서 배치에 적용한다.

In this paper, in order to investigate the near field distribution characteristic of the Loop Antenna we simulated and measured the near field of a Loop Antenna using optical electric-field sensor in a large Chamber(8.5 m x 7 m x 7 m). The simulation methods were used MoM for frequency domain and FDTD for time domain. From the analysis results, it can be seen that the simulation and measurement results are very aggregated, and the optical electric-field sensor is a certificate of validity. In frequency domain, in case of the optical sensor with vertical polarization is located above the near vertical line of the Loop Antenna the signal strength level is more 15 ㏈ than with horizontal polarization. But in case of the optical sensor located above horizontal line of the Loop Antenna, signal strength level is not different. And, in the time domain, although input signal is positive, in the case of the optical sensor with vertical polarization is located above horizontal line of the Loop Antenna, it can be seen that the received pulse shape is negative.

We report a resonance fiber Bragg sensor interrogation based on a Fourier domain mode-locking (FDML) laser. The FDML laser is constructed based on a conventional ring laser cavity configuration with fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter (FFP-TF). There are two sensor parts which are composed with two FBGs inside the laser cavity. Each sensor part provides a separate laser cavity for the FDML laser. The resonance frequencies of the laser cavities are 46.687 kHz and 44.340 kHz, respectively. We applied a static and a dynamic strain on the FBG sensor system. The slope coefficients of the measured relative wavelength shift and relative time interval from the static strain are found to be $0.61pm/{\mu}{\epsilon}$ and $0.8ns/{\mu}{\epsilon}$, respectively.

Sonar is the system that detects objects and finds their location in water by using the echo ranging technique. In order to have excellent performance in variable environment, acoustic characteristics of this system must be analyzed accurately. In this paper, based on the finite element analysis, modeling and analysis of acoustic characteristics of underwater acoustic sensors are preformed. Couplings between piezoelectric and elastic materials, and fluid and structure systems associated with the modeling of piezoelectric underwater acoustic sensors are formulated. In the finite element modeling of unbounded acoustic fluid, IWEE (Infinite Eave Envelop Element) is adopted to take into account the infinite domain. When an incidence wave excites the surface of Tonpilz underwater acoustic sensor, the scattered wave on the sensor is founded by satisfying the radiation condition at the artificial boundary approximately. Based on this scattering analysis, the electrical response of the underwater acoustic sensor under incidence, so called RVS (Receiving Voltage Signal) is founded accurately. This will devote to design Sonar systems accurately.

In WSN, at the initial stage, sensor nodes are randomly deployed over the region of interest, and self-configure the clustered networks by grouping a bunch of sensor nodes and selecting a cluster header among them. Specially, in WSN environment, in which the administrator's intervention is restricted, the self-configuration capability is essential to establish a power-conservative WSN which provides broad sensing coverage and communication coverage. In this paper, we propose a communication coverage-aware cluster head election algorithm for Herearchical WSNs which consists of communication coverage-aware of the Base station is the cluster head node is elected and a clustering.

센서태그(Sensor Tag)는 기존의 RFID 태그의 특징을 그대로 유지하면서 사물의 온도 습도와 같은 정보를 추가로 획득하여 냉장 제품 등의 관리에 유용하게 사용 할 수 있는 태그이다. 이러한 센서태그에 의해 획득된 정보, 즉 센싱 데이터는 리더의 인식 영역 안에서만 획득할 수 있으며 센싱 데이터가 변화할 때마다 보고하거나 또는 주기적으로 보고를 하는 특징이 있다. 기존의 RFID 환경에서는 센싱 데이터를 단순히 속성 정보로 관리하므로 영역질의 등 센서태그 객체에 대한 질의를 처리하기 위해서 많은 연산이 필요하며 복합 질의 시 시스템 성능이 급격하게 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 센서태그 객체의 특성을 고려한 통합 데이터 모델을 제시하고 질의를 효율적으로 처리하기 위한 색인 기법을 제안한다. 그리고 동일 리더 인식영역 내의 센싱 데이터가 특정 값으로 집중되는 특성을 고려하여 데이터 삽입 시 강제 합병 기법을 이용하여 노드의 중첩으로 인해 검색 성능을 떨어뜨리는 문제를 해결한다.
