This paper presents performance improvement of CO gas sensor signal conditioner for early fire warning system. The warning system is based on the CO sensor and its advanced signal conditioning modules network that employ electochemical gas sensor. The electochemical has advantage of having a linear output and operating with a low consumption and fast response. This electrochemical gas sensor contains a gas membrane and three electrodes(working, counter, reference electrode) in contact with an electrolyte. To use a three-electrode sensor, a voltage has to be applied between the working and the reference electrode according to the specification of the sensor. In this paper, we designed these requirements that should be considered in temperature compensation algorithm and electrode measurement of CO sensor modules by using advanced signal conditioning method included 3-electrode. Simulation and experimental results show that signal conditioner of CO sensor module using 3-electrode have a advantage linearity, sensitivity and stability, fast response etc..

본 논문에서는 스마트폰에 장착 가능하고 휴대가 가능한 고효율 NDIR $CO_2$ 센서 모듈을 개발하였다. 저전력 회로 설계를 위하여 텅스텐램프 대신에 적외선 LED를 사용하였으며, 센서 모듈에 최적화된 광도파로를 설계 및 제작하였다. 스마트폰과 인터페이스가 가능한 회로를 통하여 스마트폰의 전원으로 센서 모듈이 구동되도록 설계하였다. $CO_2$ 농도, 온도 및 습도 등 측정된 센서의 데이터는 스마트폰 앱을 통하여 화면에 표시하였다. 측정 결과, 개발된 센서 모듈은 온도$-10^{\circ}C{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ 구간에서 0 ~ 3,000ppm 범위의 $CO_2$ 농도를 측정할 수 있었으며 측정 오차는 ${\pm}60ppm$이내였다.

In this study, a Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) sensor with an externally exposed optical cavity is proposed for improving sensitivity. NDIR CO₂ sensors with high performance must use a lamp-type infrared (IR) source with a strong IR intensity. However, a lamp-type IR source generates high thermal energy that induces thermal noise, interfering with the accuracy of the CO₂ concentration measure. To solve this problem, the optical cavity of the NDIR CO₂ sensor is exposed to quickly dissipate heat. As a result, the proposed NDIR CO₂ sensor has a shorter warm-up time and a higher sensitivity compared to the conventional NDIR CO₂ sensor.

본 논문은 CO센서의 화재에 대한 감지특성을 분석 후 화재감지기로서의 적용성 판단을 하기 위한 논문이다. CO센서의 화재감지기로의 적용성을 판단하기 위해 UL 268에서 규정하고 있는 화재시험실과 유사한 규모의 화재실험장을 설계 제작하고, UL 268에서 제시된 화재시험기준에 준한 실화재실험을 실시하여 화원 종류에 따른 CO센서와 광전식연기감지기의 다양한 화원의 화재에서 발생하는 일산화탄소와 연기에 대한 감지특성을 측정하여 비교 분석하였다. 실험결과 종이화원 및 목재화원과 같이 불완전연소로 진행되는 초기화재에서 CO센서가 광전식연기감지기보다 약 2~3배 빠른 감지특성이 나타났다. 특히, 목재훈소화재에서 CO센서의 감지특성이 매우 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

본 논문은 센서 네트워크에서의 CoAP(Constrained-Application Protocol)을 이용한 시각 동기화 기법에 관한 것으로 별도의 시각 장치를 내장하지 않은 센서 노드와 인터넷을 통해 시각 서버에 연결된 센서 노드 중계기 간 시각을 동기화하는 기술에 관한 것이다. CoAP은 전송 지연 및 패킷 손실 등 제한된 네트워크 환경에서 저수준의 성능을 갖는 센서노드를 통해 센서 데이터를 전송할 수 있도록 지원하는 프로토콜이다. 본 논문에서는 CoAP의 옵션 확장을 통해 저가의 IP기반 소형 센서 노드나 따로 IP에 연결되지 않은 센서 노드로부터 센서 노드 중계기 간의 센서 데이터 수신 시각을 정확히 동기화 설정 할 수 있도록 한다. 기존에 사용 중인 범용 프로토콜 대신, 센서 네트워크에서의 전용 프로토콜인 CoAP을 사용함으로써, 부가적인 센서 노드나 중계기에서의 서비스 부담 없이 이용 가능 하다. CoAP을 이용한 시각 동기화 기법은 NTP(Network Time Protocol) 대비 평균 2ms 내의 오차를 가지며, 저비용으로 강건한 시각 동기화 기법을 제공한다.

In automatic welding process using a robot, seam tracking is one of the important parts. Sensor for seam tracking is divided broadly into two categories as non contact sensor and contact sensor. The arc sensor is one of the non contact sensors, and it can be applied in weaving arc and rotating arc welding process. In such the arc sensors, rotating arc sensor can be applied to high speed welding over tens of Hz. The decrease of self regulation by high rotating speed causes to improve accuracy and response of sensor. In this study, fuzzy controller was used to track the seam for the $CO_2$ arc welding which had unstable arc. It could be shown that the rotating arc sensor was better than the weaving arc sensor.

We present a novel non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) $CO_2$ gas sensor with a light source emitting collimated light. Using this thermopile, we also have successfully developed a small, sensitive NDIR $CO_2$ detector module for accurate air quality monitoring systems in energy-saving building and automotive applications. The novel sample cavity comprising specular reflectors around the light bulb is configured to uniformly emit collimated light into the entrance aperture of the cavity in order to enhance the sensitivity of NDIR $CO_2$ detector.

An efficient carbon monoxide (CO) sensor was developed based on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxy)thiophenepoly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) modified with a new pyrimidine-fused heterocyclic compound, bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)dihydropyrido[2,3-d:6,5-d]dipyrimidine-tetraone (B2HDDT). B2HDDT remains stable in the polymer matrix through interactions with functional groups of the polymer. It created prominent sites that captured CO gas, and the experimental parameters, including the amount of doped B2HDDT in the PEDOT:PSS film, were optimized. The sensor probe was also examined to verify its reliability for detecting CO in the presence of atmospheric gases in a discriminating manner. NMR, AFM, and FT-IR spectra were obtained to evaluate the structure and morphology of the B2HDDT-doped PEDOT:PSS (PEDOT:PSS/B2HDDT) film. The content of 35 vol % B2HDDT (7.0 mM) in PEDOT:PSS provided the largest response factor (${\Delta}R/R_o$) for the CO gas. The sensor response was reproducible, with a relative standard deviation < 5% (n = 5). The detection limit was determined to be $0.44{\pm}0.05$ vol %.

In this study, we carried out a basic study for the development of optical transcutaneous $pCO_{2}$ gas sensor and analyzer using non-invasive method. The basic principle of $pCO_{2}$ measurement is adapted Beer lambert's law and embodied the system using NDIR method. This measuring system was composed of a IR lamp, a optical filter, a optical reaction chamber, pyroelectric sensor and a signal process. We measured $EtCO_{2}'s$ concentration in basis step instead of $pCO_{2}$ gas that can collect by inflicting heat in outer skin. We minimize the size of optical reaction chamber which takes up the largest volume, to make the portable sensor. We made optical reaction chamber in Si wafer using MEMS technology and the optical reaction chamber was shortened to 2 mm and we carried out an experiment. When we injected the $EtCO_{2}$ to the inside of the optical reaction chamber, we could confirm change of 4.6 mV. The system response time was within 2 second that is fairly fast.
