Thick film type gas sensors with parallel Pt heaters were fabricated by screen printing process and investigated sensitivities for methane gas. The TR7905 was selected as Pt paste for heater by characterization the properties of TCRs and thick film microstructures. The average resistance of parallel Pt heaters was $1.8{\Omega}$, and the best TCR obtained was $3685\;ppm/^{\circ}C$. On the top of the Pt heaters, a sensing layer added with Pt and Pd as catalyst paste was screen printed and heat treated. The sensitivity of the sensor was 4.3mV/1000ppm for methane. The power consumption of the sensors was 2.12watts.

It was common knowledge in textbooks that images acquired using mid-infrared ray were not suitable for measuring temperature near room temperature. But a recent satellite image using a mid-infrared sensor show the possibility that the result measured using the mid-infrared sensor can also measure the temperature near room temperature. In this paper, the possibility and accuracy of extraction room temperature information from satellite images with mid-infrared sensors are reviewed. The mid-infrared satellite image reviewed in this paper showed the temperature of room temperature well, and regarding the reliability as an absolute value of the measured temperature, the effect of the heat transfer amount due to the direct reflection of sunlight on the surface and the effect of the infrared absorption amount absorbed in the atmosphere can be seen as a relatively small or constant value. However, the problem of uncertainty in the radiation coefficient due to physical properties, which is the limit of the non-contact thermometer, remained a problem to be solved.

Recently, a laser displacement sensor is widely used for the manufacturing automation. The sensor is generally composed of a diode laser and a light receiving device. The diode laser emits a laser beam and the receiving device detects the light reflected from the measured object. The object position is obtained based upon triangulation method. As a light receiving device, a PSD is usually utilized since its structure is very simple and rugged and has a high accuracy. Although the theoretical relationship for this sensor had been developed, the characteristics of the sensor have not been much experimentally studied. In this paper, several experimental results will presented. The measurement accuracy is affected by the surface conditions such as the reflectance characteristics, the angle of the object's surface and the laser intensity. In addition, it is found that the PSD and the signal processing circuit have nonlinearities and showed that those nonlinearities can be reduced by controlling the emitting laser intensity.

To establish the national standard of capacitance, four main electrodes of the cross capacitor which were evaluated to linearity and roundness less the $\pm 1 \mu m$ respectively have to be adjusted symmetrically in an inner cylinder. Four LM shafts with diameter of 5 mm were installed between main electrodes of the cross capacitor, and the electrodes were adjusted, as the first step, by means of the measured capacitance. In the second step, the symmetrical adjustment up to $\pm 1.2\mu m$ was performed by using a ball sensor, ball-type movable sensor, non-contacting capacitive sensor and upper guard sensor which were developed in this project.

This study proposes an accurate method of monitoring precursor consumption in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) systems. Since precursor costs are significant, finding an efficient method to monitor precursor consumption is necessary One example is the use of non-contact and inexpensive ultrasonic sensors for determining the liquid level in a container. In this study, sensors based on ultrasonic techniques have been developed for monitoring the precursor consumption in a CVD system. Moreover, the prototype sensors developed in this study can be useful in the field of semiconductors.

일반 하천에서의 유량측정 방법은 하천 조건에 따라 다르다. 전통적인 방법으로는 구조물에 의한 방법, 유속계 측정에 의한 유속-면적법, 부자에 의한 방법, 그리고 희석법 등이 있다. 그러나 이러한 방법들은 측정 위험성을 가지고 있다. 홍수시 발생되는 고유속과 심한 난류, 거대한 부유물질들은 하천 접근에 어려움을 가져오고, 측정 기기의 파손 위험성뿐만 아니라 인명피해까지 발생시킬 가능성이 있다. 최근 기존 방법들의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 음파, 초음파, 레이더 등을 이용한 유량 측정 방법과 장비들이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서 사용한 레이더 유속계는 하천의 표면유속을 측정하는 비접촉식 센서로 홍수기 전 미리 유속 측정 단면 측량을 실시한다면 홍수시에도 비교적 신속하고 안전하게 유속을 측정할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 레이더 유속계를 충청북도 괴산군 달천에 위치한 수전교에 설치하여 괴산댐 방류량 및 동시유량 측정 성과와 비교하였다. 2007년 7월부터 2008년 8월까지 $36m^3/s\;\sim\;821m^3/s$의 사상에서 총 10회 측정한 결과, 레이더 유속계를 사용하여 측정한 유량의 상대오차는 댐방류량 대비 -3.3% $\sim$ 27.5%로 나타나 평균11.8%의 상대오차를 보였다. 레이더 유속계 측정과 동시에 실시한 유속-면적법 측정, ADCP법 측정의 상대오차는 각각 평균 5.7%, 6.5%로 나타난 것과 비교한다면 다소 높은 오차를 보였다. 그러나 측정 시간의 경우 수위에 따라 다소 차이는 있지만 레이더 유속계를 이용하면 30분 정도의 시간이 소요되었으며, 유속면적법은 1시간 이상, ADCP법은 40분의 시간이 소요되었다. 이와 같이 레이더 유속계는 다른 방법에 비해 정확성은 다소 떨어지지만 측정 속도와 안정성 면에서는 우수하다고 판단된다. 문제점으로 지적되는 정확도 측면의 경우 레이더 유속계로 측정되는 표면유 속과 평균 유속 사이의 보정계수 문제를 보완한다면 보다 정확한 측정이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, according to the limelight of Fintech, simple payment using biometric at smartphone is widely used. In this paper, we propose a new contactless biometric method using thumb image without additional sensors unlike previous biometrics such as fingerprint, iris, and vein recognition. In our method, length, width, and skin texture information are used as features. For that, illumination normalization, skin region segmentation, size normalization and alignment procedures are sequentially performed from the captured thumb image. Then, correlation coefficient is calculated for similarity measurement. To analyze recognition accuracy, genuine and imposter matchings are performed. At result, we confirmed the FAR of 1.68% at the FRR of 1.55%. In here, because the distribution of imposter matching is almost normal distribution, our method has the advantage of low FAR. That is, because 0% FAR can be achieved at the FRR of 15%, the proposed method is enough to 1:1 matching for payment verification.

This paper describes a fiber optic sensor suitable for non-contact detection of ultrasonic waves. This sensor is based on a fiber optic Sagnac interferometer. Quadrature phase bias between two interfering laser beams in Sagnac loop is introduced by a polarization controller. A stable quadrature phase bias can be confirmed by observing the interferometer output versus phase bias. This method eliminates a digital signal processing for detection of ultrasonic waves using Sagnac interferometer. Interference intensity is affected by the frequency of ultrasonic waves and the time delay of Sagnac loop. Collimator is attached to the end of the probing fiber to focus the light beam onto the specimen surface and to collect the reflected light back into the fiber probe. Ultrasonic waves produced by conventional ultrasonic transducers are detected. This fiber optic sensor based on Sagnac interferometer is very effective for detection of small displacement with high frequency such as ultrasonic waves used in conventional non-destructive testing.

This paper demonstrates a new non-contact electronic joystick using single hall sensor which detects a horizontal vector of the magnetic field. Furthermore, in this paper, it is mathematically modeled that nonlinear characteristics between the output of hall sensor and the movement of joystick bar. The dynamic horizontal vector of magnetic flux is detected by the hall sensor while a permanent magnet is rotated with the joystick bar, which has two dimension detecting area. Using the nonlinear adjustment equations, the output signals of hall sensor have been linearized to give higher accuracy in the two dimension movement. Finally, through the real experiments, it is showed that the single hall sensor structure mechanism is superior to the dual sensor structure in sensing the two-dimensional motion without offset.
