The most important design factor for portable devices is power consumption. In this paper, in the early design stage of a mobile device which measures temperature and humidity a power consumption model will be proposed and then the overall power consumption will be estimated based on this model. We will verify previously the correctness of such estimated power consumption before implementation of the real device. That is our proposed design methodology based on power consumption model. An improved design method for efficiently reducing the current consumption in the idle mode is also presented. By implementing a real prototype of the mobile device for measuring temperature and humidity, the correctness of our proposed design methodology based on power consumption modeling will be verified.

디스플레이 산업이 급속도로 발전함에 따라 touch screen 및 panel에 사용되고 있는 ITO(Indium Tin Oxide)박막의 표면저항에 대한 정밀 측정이 요구되고 있으며, 표면저항 측정은 주로 FPP(Four-Point Probe) 원리를 이용한 측정기를 사용하고 있다. 대부분의 면저항 측정기는 single 방식을 적용하고 있으나 이 방식은 가장자리 효과가 크며, 시료의 크기 및 두께와 핀 간격에 대한 보정계수를 적용하여야 하는 단점이 있다. 본 연구는 가장자리 효과가 거의 없고, 보정계수를 적용할 필요가 없는 dual 방식을 적용한 표면저항 측정기를 개발하였다. 개발된 표면저항 측정기는 휴대용으로 누구나 쉽고 정확하게 사용할 수 있으며, 측정 정확도는 지시값의 1.0 % 이하이고, 측정범위는 $4m{\Omega}/sq{\sim}20k{\Omega}/sq$ 이다.

박막재료 및 반도체의 면저항 측정에는 주로 Four Point Probe(FPP) 원리를 이용한 측정기를 사용하고 있다. FPP에 의한 측정방식은 single 및 dual configuration method가 있으며, dual configuration은 single configuration에 비해 probe spacing 변화나 시료의 가장자리 효과 등에서 측정편차가 적은 장점이 있어서 dual configuration 기술을 사용하는 추세이다. 개발된 휴대용 면저항 측정기는 dual configuration원리를 적용하여 제작되었으며, 박막재료의 면저항을 누구나 쉽고 정확하게 측정할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 또한 시료의 크기가 핀 간격에 비해 5배 이상 크면 보정계수를 거의 무시할 수 있는 장점이 있어 작은 시료라도 정확한 면저항을 측정할 수 있다. 이측정기의 측정 불확도는 지시값의 1 % 이하이고, 측정범위는 (2$\sim$2000)$\Omega/sq$이다.

Worldwide, soil compaction work is one of the most important activities that are carried out on civil engineering works sites. Compaction work, particularly in the area of road construction, is considered to be important, as poor compaction work is closely related with poor construction even after a construction is complete. Currently, the plate bearing test or the sand cone method relative to the unit weight of soil test are commonly used to measure the degree of compaction, but as these require a great deal of time, equipment and manpower, it is difficult to secure economic efficiency. The method that is used to measure the degree of compaction according to the penetration depth achieved by free fall objects through gravity is the Free-Fall Penetration Test (FFPT), which uses a so-called "portable compaction measuring meter (PCMM)." In this study, the degree of compaction was measured and a penetration depth graph was developed after the field test using the portable compaction measuring meter. The coefficient of determination was 0.963 at a drop height of 10 cm, showing the highest level of accuracy. Both horizontal axis and longitudinal axis were developed in a decimal form of graph, and the range of allowable error was ${\pm}1.28mm$ based on the penetration depth. The portable compaction measuring meter makes it possible to measure the degree of compaction simply, quickly and accurately in the field, which will ensure economic efficiency and facilitate the process management.

This paper is concerned with the development of a measurement system using field measuring device which will give the membrane stress of the membrane structures. Up to this point, several techniques on measurement of membrane stresses has been proposed and some have been used in the fields, but accuracy of the measured stresses to be far from reliable one. Such situation has not been changed until recent days, we do not have the measurement device on which we can depend. On top of that, due to the different properties in cross directions for material of the membrane, the stress in the warp direction is different from that in the fill one.

Drinking is one of most prominent causes for social problems like domestic violence, drinking and driving, and health problems. If who drunken can check promptly how much blood alcohol content, abstain from drunken driving or successive drinking schedule. In this paper, implementation of digital portable breathalyzer using semiconductor gas sensor based on MEMS were suggested. A small size micro controller with low power and surface mountable, ATMEGA48 can control semiconductor gas sensor digitally and display the value of alcohol concentration on LED.

This paper dealt with the developed portable electric field meter which consisted of planar-type sensor, analog amplifier with gain controller, A/D convertor, and display unit. The principle of the planar-type sensor for detecting time-varying electric field of extremely low frequency (ELF) bandwidth was described, and a calibration system using cylindrical guard electrodes and parallel-plate electrodes was proposed. From the calibration experiment, the frequency bandwidth and the sensitivity of the developed electric field meter was $17[Hz]{\sim}7[kHz]$, and 4.45[mV/V/m], respectively. Also it can measure the electric field strength up to 10[kV/m], and the measured result was displayed on the liquid crystal display in digit. The electric field meter can be widely applied to measure electric field strength radiated from power lines, computers, and home appliances such as hair dryer, heater, etc.
