최근 들어 기후변화와 함께, 화재 발생이 증가함에 따라 인명피해와 경제적 피해가 늘고 있다. 화재 발생시 인명 피해를 줄여주는 소방시설 중 경보설비와 유도등설비는 위험 상황시 경보와 함께 동선을 유도하는 유도등을 보고 재실자들이 안전한 공간으로 신속하게 대피할 수 있도록 하는 소방설비 이다. 이중에서 유도등설비는 화재발생 상황에서 매우 중요한 역할을 맡고 있다. 특히 복잡한 동선을 가지고 있는 복합건물 및 지하철, 고층건축물에 신속한 대피 유도에 필요한 설비이다. 그러나, 화재 초기에 신속한 대피를 해야 하는데 5분도 되지 않아 화재로 인해 발생한 가스는 검은 연기로 유도등의 역할과 효과를 저해하는 현상을 가져온다. 즉 유도등의 녹색빛이 보이지 않는다. 이는 저시력자 또는 시력에 장애를 가지고 있는 자들은 더욱더 유도등을 확인하고 대피 하기란 쉽지 않게 된다. 이런 단점이 있는 기존의 유도등에 IoT(Internet of Things)와 함께 증강현실 이미지를 스마트기기에 활성화 한다면, 진한 검은연기로 인한 빛의 가림으로 인한 유도장애에 대해서 개선 할 수 있을 거라 생각되어, 변류기의 전류 감지를 시작으로 그 신호를 스마트기기에 녹색의 유도 이미지를 활성화하여 골든타임에 대피가 신속하도록 설비를 구현하여 그 가능성을 확인하였다.

Recently, Interest to the photoconductor, which is used to flat form X-ray detector such as a-Se, $HgI_2$, PbO, CdTe, $PbI_2$ etc. is increasing. In this study, the film layer by using the photoconductive material with particle sedimentation was fabricated and evaluated. The quantization efficiency of the continuous X-ray with the 70 kVp energy bandwidth was analyzed by using the Monte Carlo simulation. With the results, the thickness of film with 64 % quantization efficiency was 180 ${\mu}m$ which is similar to the efficiency of 500 ${\mu}m$ a-Se film. And $HIg_2$ film has the high quantization efficiency of 74 % on 240 ${\mu}m$ thickness. The electrical characteristics of the 239 ${\mu}m$ $Hgl_2$ films produced by particle sedimentation were shown as very low dark current(under 10 $pA/mm^2$), and high sensitivity(19.8 mC/mR-sec) with 1 $V/{\mu}m$ input voltage. The SNR, which is influence to the contrast of X-ray image, was shown highly as 3,125 in low driving voltage on 0.8 $V/{\mu}m$. With the results of this study, the development of the low-cost, high-performance image detector with film could be possible by replacing the film produced by particle sedimentation instead to a-Se detector.

A planar Bi-Sb multijunction thermal converter, which is consisted of a linear or bifilar thin film NiCr-heater and a thin film Bi-Sb thermopile, has been fabricated, and its ac-dc transfer characteristics were examined in a frequency range from 10 Hz to 10 KHz. In order to increase the thermal sensitivity and to decrease the ac-dc transfer error of a thermal converter, the heater and the hot junctions of a thermopile were prepared on a Si$_3$N$_4$/SiO$_2$/Si$_3$N$_4$-diaphragm which acts as a thermal isolation layer, and the cold junctions on the Si$_3$N$_4$/SiO$_2$/Si$_3$N$_4$-thin film supported with the silicon rim which functions as a heat sink. The respective thermal sensitivities in air and in a vacuum of the converter with a built-in bifilar heater were about 14.0 ㎷/㎽ and 54.0 ㎷/㎽, and the ac-dc voltage and the current transfer difference ranges in air were about $\pm$0.60 ppm and $\pm$0.11 ppm, respectively, indicating that the ac-dc transfer accuracy of the converter are much higher than that of a commercial 3-dimensional multijunction thermal converter. However, the output thermoelectric voltage fluctuation of the converter was rather high.

This work proposes a 10b 100 MS/s $1.4\;mm^2$ CMOS ADC for low-power multimedia applications. The proposed two-step pipeline ADC minimizes chip area and power dissipation at the target resolution and sampling rate. The wide-band SHA employs a gate-bootstrapping circuit to handle both single-ended and differential inputs with 1.2 Vp-p at 10b accuracy while the second-stage flash ADC employs open-loop offset sampling techniques to achieve 6b resolution. A 3-D fully symmetrical layout reduces the capacitor and device mismatch of the first-stage MDAC. The low-noise references are integrated on chip with optional off-chip voltage references. The prototype 10b ADC implemented in a 0.18 um CMOS shows the maximum measured DNL and INL of 0.59 LSB and 0.77 LSB, respectively. The ADC demonstrates the SNDR of 54 dB, the SFDR of 62 dB, and the power dissipation of 56 mW at 100 MS/s.

The electrical behavior and flexibility of the screen printed Ag circuits were investigated with infrared radiation sintering times and sintering temperatures. Electrical resistivity and radio frequency characteristics were evaluated by using the 4 point probe measurement and the network analyzer by using cascade's probe system, respectively. Electrical resistivity and radio frequency characteristics means that the direct current resistance and signal transmission properties of the printed Ag circuit. Flexibility of the screen printed Ag circuit was evaluated by measuring of electrical behavior during IPC sliding test. Failure mode of the Ag printed circuits was observed by using field emission scanning electron microscope and optical microscope. Electrical resistivity of the Ag circuits screen printed on Pl substrate was rapidly decreased with increasing sintering temperature and durations. The lowest electrical resistivity of Ag printed circuit was up to $3.8{\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ at $250^{\circ}C$ for 45 min. The crack length arisen within the printed Ag circuit after $10{\times}10^4$ sliding numbers was 10 times longer than that of after $2.5{\times}10^4$ sliding numbers. Measured insertion loss and calculated insertion loss were in good agreements each other. Insertion loss of the printed Ag circuit was increased with increasing the number of sliding cycle.

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.

ELoran Systems can provide Position, Navigation, and Time services with comparable performance to Global Positioning Systems (GPS) as a back up or alternative system. High timing and navigation performance can be achieved by eLoran signals because eLoran receivers use "all-in-view" reception. This incorporates Time of Arrival (TOA) signals from all stations in the service range because each eLoran station is synchronized to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Transmission station information and the differential Loran correction data are transmitted via an additional Loran Data Channel (LDC) on the transmitted eLoran signal such that eLoran provides improved Position Navigation and Timing (PNT) over legacy Loran. In this paper, we propose a technique for adapting the delay time compensation values in eLoran timing receivers to provide precise time comparison. For this purpose, we have designed a system that measures time delay from the crossing point of the third cycle extracted from the current transformer at the end point of the transmitter. The receiver delay was measured by connecting an active H-field, an E-field and a passive loop antenna to a commercial eLoran timing receiver. The common-view time transfer technique using the calibrated eLoran timing receiver improved the eLoran transfer time. A eLoran timing receiver calibrated by this method can be utilized in the field for precise time comparison as a GNSS backup.

Recently, the grounded electrical-source airborne transient electromagnetic (GREATEM) system with high power source was introduced to achieve deeper investigation depth and to overcome high noise level. Although the GREATEM is a transient electromagnetic system using a long grounded wire as the transmitter, GREATEM data have been interpreted with 1D earth models because 2D or 3D modeling and inversion of vast airborne data are complicated and expensive to calculate. Generally, 1D inversion is subsequently applied to every survey point and combining 1D images together forms the stitched conductivity-depth image. However, the stitched models often result in abrupt variations in neighboring models. To overcome this problem, laterally constrained inversion (LCI) has been developed in inversion of ATEM data, which can yield layered sections with lateral smooth transitions. In this study, we analysed the GREATEM data through 1D numerical modeling for a curved grounded wire source. Furthermore, we developed a laterally constrained inversion scheme for continuous GREATEM data based on a layered earth model. All 1D data sets and models are inverted as one system, producing layered sections with lateral smooth transitions. Applying the developed LCI technique to the GREATEM data, it was confirmed that the laterally constrained inversion can provide laterally smooth model sections that reflect the layering of the survey area effectively.

The measurement dissolution sensor system using GMR-SV device with magnetic sensitivity of 0.8 %/Oe and Mg-film thick of 200 nm and Mg-foil thick of 50 mm was fabricated and characterized. During the water dissolving process of Mg-film and Mg-foil, the subtle variation of magnetic field by the decrease of current in solenoid was detected by the GMR-SV sensor. The variations of Mg bubble number and ORP as a function of time for three different kinds of edible, tap, and distilled water, are measured and compared. A After 45 min, the speed of fast dissolving Mg was shown the order of edible > tap > DI water. The variation of output magnetoresistance as a function of dissolved time of Mg-film and Mg-foil for edible water, which is composed of mineral content of $0.8{\sim}5.4\;mg/l$ was investigated. The response times for the dissolution in edible water were 5 min and 20 min, respectively. From the measurement of dissolving time and speed for Mg-film and Mg-foil using GMR-SV device, the mineral Mg sensor system in edible water can be possible to develop.

A degenerated differential pair has been widely used as a standard topology for digitally programmable CMOS VGAs. A variable degeneration resistor has been implemented using a resistor string or R-2R ladder with MOSFET switches. However, in the VGAs using these conventional methods, low-voltage and high-speed operation is very hard to achieve due to the dc voltage drop over the degeneration resistor. To overcome this problem a new variable degeneration resistor is proposed where the dc voltage drop is almost removed. Using the proposed gain control scheme, a low-voltage and high-speed CMOS VGA is designed. HSPICE simulation results using a 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS process parameters show that the designed VGA provides a 3dB bandwidth of 360MHz and a 80dB gain control range in 2dB step. Gain errors are less than 0.4dB at 200MHz and less than l.4dB at 300MHz. The designed circuit consumes 10.8mA from a 2.5V supply and its die area is 1190${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$${\times}$360${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.
