A Contact-type Linear Encoder-like Capacitive Displacement Sensor (CLECDiS) has been developed to measure displacements at high accuracy within a long measurement range. In this paper, we have worked on improving the performance and reliability of the sensor. The performance increase can be done by introducing the smaller electrode patterns of $4{\mu}m$ width. In order to improve the reliability of the sensor we have changed the electrode layers from chrome-gold to chrome-gold-chrome and re-design its supporting structure. The newly-designed sensor is fabricated and tested to show that its sensitivity is $35pF/{\mu}m$, which implies that its resolution may be 0.36nm if SNR (Signal-to-Noise-Ratio) is 80.1dB. It is about ten times of that $(3.14pF/{\mu}m)$ of its previous version with 10${\mu}m$ electrodes. The total measurement range remains the same as the previous one; 15mm. The calibration experiments show its improved performance and reliability.

표면영상유속계는 영상분석을 이용하여 홍수시 하천 수표면 유속을 측정하는 비접촉식 유속측정장치이다. 때문에 안전하고 편하게 홍수시 유속을 측정할 수 있으나, 실제 적용상 몇 가지 문제가 있다. 하나는 야간과 악천후에는 영상 촬영이 어렵다는 점이고, 다른 하나는 영상과 실세계와의 좌표변환을 위한 참조점 측량이 반드시 필요하다는 점이다. 본 연구에서는 열영상 카메라를 이용하여 첫 번째 문제를 해결하고, 방향센서(경사계)를 이용하여 두 번째 문제를 해결하여, 언제든지 유속측정이 가능한 실시간 표면영상유속계를 개발하였다. 열영상카메라는 별도의 조명장치없이도 주야간 영상 촬영이 가능하다. 또한 안개의 영향을 받지 않으며, 저유속시 생기는 수면파의 움직임도 잡아낼 수 있는 장점이 있다. 또한, 방향센서를 이용하여 참조점을 이용하지 않고, 좌표변환 관계를 구성할 수 있도록 카메라 모형(camera model)을 구성하였다. 이 카메라 모형에 필요한 외부 변수는 하천수표면과 카메라와의 높이 및 카메라의 두 가지 경사각뿐이다. 여기에 일반적인 카메라 보정에 이용하는 방법으로 구한 카메라 내부 변수를 결합하면 된다. 이렇게 개발한 열영상 표면영상유속계는 실험 수로와 하천 현장에 적용한 결과, 종전보다 훨씬 적용이 간편하며, 매우 높은 정확도로 유속을 측정할 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a novel touch interface for recognizing user's touch pattern and understanding emotional information by eliciting natural user interaction. To classify physical touches, we represent the similarity between touches by analyzing touches based on its dictionary meaning and design the algorithm to recognize various touch patterns in real time. Finally we suggest the methodology to estimate user's emotional state based on touch.

This paper described about on-machine profile measurement of aspheric surfaces using contact probing technique in ultra precision machine. A contact probe has been designed as a sensing device to obtain measuring resolutions in nanometer regime using a circle leaf spring mechanism and a capacitive-type sensor. The contact probe which is installed on the z-axis is In touch with the aspheric objects which is fixed on the spindle of the diamond turning machine(DTM) during the measuring procedure. The x, z-axis motions of the machine are monitored by a set of two orthogonal plane mirror type laser interferometers. As a results, the developed contact probe on-machine measurement system showed 10 nanometers repeatability with a ${\pm}2{\sigma}$ and uncertainty of 200 nmPv.

Our purpose is to develop a precision magnetic displacement sensor that has sub-micron resolution and small size probe. To achieve this, we first have tried to establish mathematical models of a magnetic sensor in this paper. The inductance model that presents basic measuring principle of a magnetic sensor is based on equivalent magnetic circuit method. Especially we have concentrated on modeling of magnetic flux leakage and magnetic flux fringing. The induced model is verified by experimental results. The model, including the magnetic flux leakage and flux fringing effects, is in good agreement with the experimental data. Subsequently, based on the augmented model, we will design magnetic sensor probe in order to obtain high performances and to scale down the probe.

In this paper, we would like to introduce two dimensional non-contact position sensor by using an electromagnetic induction based coil system and an algorithm to estimate the position of pointer. The sensor which will introduce in this paper is composed of a pointer including LC resonant circuit and a sensor board to detect the electromagnetic signal from the pointer. Because of the simplicity shape of the line antenna, low cost and free form curved shape of the sensor device is possible. In this research, we proposed a new two dimensional non-contact type electromagnetic sensor system and realized the proposed sensor device. From the experiments, the proposed device can be employed for the two dimensional position sensor.

This paper deals with the development of a contact-type counting device using a piezoelectric polymer film as a sensor. The piezoelectric and vibration characteristics of the film under a bending vibration were investigated theoretically and experimentally. A counting device, which includes filters, an amplifier, an analog-digital converter, and a display, was designed and fabricated. The performance of the piezoelectric polymer sensor was evaluated in the sense of the responses to contact force, contact frequency, and contact speed. The life and the temperature effect were also investigated for the piezoelectric film sensor.

This paper described about the ultra-precision profile measurement of aspheric surfaces using contact probing technique. A contact probe has been designed as a sensing device to obtain measuring resolutions in nanometer regime utilizing a leaf spring mechanism and a capacitive-type sensor. The contact probe is attached on the z-axis during measurement while aspheric objects are supported on the single point diamond turning machine(SPDTM). The machine xz-axis motions are monitored by a set of two orthogonal plane mirror type laser interferometers. Experimental results show that the contact probing technique developed of On-machine Measurement System in this investigation is capable of providing a repeatability of 20 nanometers with a $\pm$20 uncertainty of 300 nanometers.

In this paper, catalytic combustible gas sensor was fabricated and tested under flammable gases such as CH$_4$and $C_4$H$_{10}$by using Pt coil as a heater and/or temperature sensing element. Fine $Al_2$O$_3$powder was used for a bead and Pt, Pd noble metal powder for a catalyst. Resistance variation of Pt wire was traced by the changes of the gas concentrations in a chamber. Output voltage was then monitored to obtain the gas concentration from the resistance variation. In this experiment, MgO was used to protect cracks in the based and TiO$_2$to increase the sensitivity of the sensors. Water glass was also added to enhance the selectivity to the combustible gases.s.
