Use of concrete has undoubtedly become widespread in construction and civil engineering. Sensors are used to add functional characteristics to concrete. Self-diagnosis concrete is also being developed. The thermal protector used in the study is a sensor using the linear expansion and cubical expansion of metal. The LED(Light Emitting Diode) is a phototransistor type, and to secure high-sensitivity light, the prices of these sensors are low. Rising temperatures of concrete elements can be predicted from LED of the external virtual beam due to operation of thermal protector sensors of concrete beam caused by fire load on the concrete specimen. In this study, the development of fire-diagnosis concrete using composite sensors are the fundamental study for damage detection using simply measurements.

Smart sensors embedable in composite wind turbine blades have been required to be researched for monitoring the health status of large wind turbine blades during real-time operation. In this research, the feasibility of packaged FBG sensor probes was studied through the experiments of composite blade trailing edge specimens in order to detect cracking and debonding damages. The instants of cracking and debonding generated in the shear web were confirmed by rapid changes of the wavelength shifts from the bare FBG sensor probes. Packaged FBG sensor probes were proposed to remove the fragile property of bare FBG sensor probes attached on composite wind blade specimens. Strain and temperature sensitivity of fabricated probes installed on the skin of blade specimen were almost equal to those of a bare FBG sensor. Strain sensitivity was measured to be ${\mu}{\varepsilon}$/pm in a strain range from to 0 to 600 ${\mu}{\varepsilon}$, and the calculated temperature sensitivity was to be 48 pm/$^{\circ}C$ in the heating test up to 80 degree.

To approximate the threshold of the fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) system, validation of the measurements is mandatory. Naturally, the system shows uncertainties due to measuring sensors - mostly thermocouples or RTDs - and due to repeatability. The uncertainty of a thermocouple comes from natural variation or a drift of the thermocouple measurement. Considering the natural variation behaves like zero-mean white noise, its natural variation can be characterized closely by the steady-state standard deviation. However, residuals between measurements and no-fault references in FDD systems show a statistical distribution with various uncertainties. In this paper, steady-state variations of measurement residuals were investigated by utilizing built-in temperature sensors in a heat pump for the model development and the final application.

$In_2O_3$-based thick films for the ozone detection of ppb range have been investigated. The $In_2O_3$ sensing layer is quite sensitive to ozone, but the saturated stable sensitivity cannot be obtained at the ozone exposure of 100 ppb for 5 min. The addition of $Fe_2O_3$ into $In_2O_3$ indicates some improvement in response time and sensitivity, but it seems the improvement is not good enough for real applications. Firing of $In_2O_3$:$Fe_2O_3$ powder induces remarkable improvement in response and recovery, although the sensitivity decrease. The sensing layer fired at $1300^{\circ}C$ and operated $550^{\circ}C$ shows excellent properties of fast response time, saturated stable sensitivity and rapid recovery characteristics to 100 ppb ozone exposure for 5 min. Especially, it shows the reproducibility of the sensor signal for repeated measurements and the linearity between the ozone concentration and the sensor resistance. The preliminary results clearly demonstrated that the sensor can be successfully applied for the ozone detection of ppb range.

In this paper, we demonstrated the simultaneous measurment of triple parameters such as strain, temperature, and vibration using single FBG/EFPI hybrid sensor. The FBG/EFPI sensor system for the strain and temperature measurement and the EFPI sensor system for the the vibration measurement were combined by a wavelength division multiplexer. The optical source of FBG/ EFPI sensor system is a wavelength-swept fiber laser(WSFL) and that of an EFPI sensor system is a laser diode. We performed the simultaneous measurement of thermal strain, temperature, and vibration of a aluminum beam placed in a thermal chamber and validated the efficiency of the constructed measurment system.

변압기에 사용되는 절연유의 열화정도를 변압기의 운전정지 없이 실시간으로 측정할 수 있는 전기용량을 이용한 센서를 개발하였다. 개발된 전기용량형 센서는 3-전극형의 구조와 변압기에 센서의 외부상자가 접지 될 때 2중의 정전차폐가 되도록 하여 외부로부터의 잡음에 영향을 받지 않도록 하였다. 또한 변압기에서 절연유의 온도변화에 따른 유전율 변화를 보상하기위하여 기준용 센서와 측정용 센서를 한개의 변압기에 장착함으로 온도보상이 되도록 하였다. 제작된 센서는 변압기에서 절연유의 사용기간에 따른 유전율의 변화를 정확히 측정하였으며, 절연유의 체적저항의 변화도 감지 할 수가 있다. 따라서 센서에서 출력되는 신호를 phase sensitive detector를 사용하여 유전율의 변화로 혹은 체적저항의 변화로도 나타내 보일 수가 있다.

주어진 작은 크기의 칩 내부에 많은 기능 (예: 멀티미디어, 음성/영상 등)을 작동시키기 위해서는 고집적(high-integration)의 회로가 구현되게 된다. 이러한 고집적 회로는 작동할 때 상당한 양의 전력 소모를 유발하게 되어 결국 배더리 수명을 단축시키는 상황을 가지게 한다. 더욱 심각한 상황은 고 밀도의 칩 안에서의 많은 전력 소모는 열의 발생을 더욱 가속화 시키게 되며, 결국 칩 작동의 신뢰성(reliability)을 상당히 잃게 만든다. 본 연구에서는 칩의 작동에 따른 열 발생으로 유발되는 칩의 온도 상승을 감지하는 센서회로 구현에 관한 것이다. FPGA 칩은 주 목적의 기능을 수행하는 회로들을 구현함과 동시에 추가적으로 열 감지 센서 회로를 구현할 자원을 FPGA가 제공을 해 주어야 하는데, 주목적의 회로 공간(즉, 자원) 사용으로 인해 열 센서 회로 구현 자원이 충분하지 않을 경우나 여러 지역에 사용 가능한 자원이 소규모로 흩어진 경우 등 센서 구현을 위한 자원 탐색 및 구현 가능성에 대해 점검하는 알고리즘이 필요하다. 본 연구는 이러한 알고리즘을 개발하여 그 효용성을 실험을 통해 보이고 있다. 제안한 알고리즘의 특징은 Branch-and-Bound에 기반을 두고 있으며, 알고리즘의 수행 시간 단축을 위한 효과적인 search tree pruning 기법을 제안하고 있다.
