The purpose of this paper is to establish the optimum fabricating condition of specimens using silk screen printing, and to develop humidity sensor which has good humidity sensing properties. The specimens are fabricated under the condition of 90[wt%] $SnO_2$-10[wt%] $TiO_2$, and their microstructure, crystalline structure, humidity sensing properties are examined. From the microstructure analyses, porosity is best at 700[$^{\circ}C$]. From the crystalline structure analyses, intensity of peak becomes strong according to increasing heat treatment temperature. From the humidity sensing properties analyses, an overall results of capacitance changes, linearity and hysteresis for the specimens is best at 600[$^{\circ}C$] and 700[$^{\circ}C$]. Capacitance of specimens increases according to decreasing measurement frequency, and to increasing relative humidity.

The purpose of this study is to develop a sensing system to measure the capacitance of a pre-developed engine oil deterioration detection sensor integrated with an oil filter. To measure the capacitance of engine oil in the sensor, it is used the way measuring the electric charging time in a capacitor by impressing DC volt. This method has merits on cost and signal stability. The measured capacitance is compensated by comparison with the one measured by an impedance analyzer. Also, using the dielectric constant gained by an impedance analyzer, the calculating equation of the dielectric constant of engine oil related with the currently developed sensor is decided. Finally, the degradation degree of engine oil is estimated according to the change rate of dielectric constant between green oil and used oil. The newly developed personal controller is to control a series of the processes.

Burr sensing for burr size measurement and deburring process control is one of the essential elements in an automated deburring procedure. This paper presents the implementation of capacitance sensing and acoustic emission (AE) to deburring. The first application is the "on-line" measurement of burrs using a capacitance sensor. A non-contact capacitance gauging sensor is attached to an ultra precision milling machine which was used as a positioning system. The setup is used to measure burr profiles along machined workpiece edges. The proposed scheme is shown to be accurate, easy to setup, and with minor modifications, readily applicable to automatic deburring processes. As the second example, AE signals were sampled and analyzed for the sensor feedback of a precision deburring process - laser deburring -. The results, such as the sensitivity of AE signals to burr shapes and edge detection capability show a clear correlation between physical process parameters and the AE signals. A subsequent control strategy for deburring automation is also briefly discussed.

In this paper, a folding sensor based on capacitance is proposed. The sensor was developed to sense the length and angle data for the milli-scale actuators without causing any interference to the actuating joints. For the sensing and testing the robotic joint with reducing the cost and complexity aspects of manufacturing, a simple composition was adopted. The sensor comprises a pair of copper tapes, papers, and wires. The complete sensing unit is constructed by bonding the tapes with the papers and soldering the wire to the copper parts. For accuracy, a teensy 4.0 board, which has a 12-bit ADC resolution, is employed. Furthermore, the sensed analog data is not translated into the unit of capacitance for accuracy; however, it is filtered using a low-pass filter and subsequently, a Butter-worth filter. The data obtained demonstrate a periodic waveform, which implies that the data are in good agreement with the hypothesis set prior to the experiments. Compared to other milli-scale sensors, this could be a better option for sensing the length and angle data for milliscale actuators.

The polypyrrole and polyaniline thin film sensors which were made by chemical polymerization were employed to detect ethanol gas. With a single sensor element we can obtain characteristic patterns of behaviour across a very wide frequency range when measuring either resistance or capacitance. Impedance spectroscopy was employed to study the gas sensing behavior of both capacitance and resistance based sensors with conducting polymer as the active sensing element.

In this paper, we propose an active tunable bandpass filter (BPF) for efficient spectrum sensing in the TV White Space (TVWS) band. By designing a narrow bandwidth, it is possible to improve the sensing probability. The basic circuit configuration involves switching the PIN diode compromising capacitor bank to change the capacitance of the LC resonant circuit. To cover the whole TVWS band effectively, we add a varactor diode, and the bandwidth is set to 25-MHz. We improve the insertion loss by using the active capacitance circuit. The tunable BPF in the TVWS band with a 20-MHz interval is designed to have 11 channels with a bandwidth of 25 MHz and a low insertion loss of 1.7-2.0 dB.

본 연구에서는 다공질 실리콘층을 감습재료로 사용한 메사 구조를 갖는 정전용량형 습도센서를 제작하고 그 특성을 평가하였다. 센서의 구조적 특징은 기존의 웨이퍼 상하에 전극을 배치한 구조와 달리, 두 전극의 위치를 시료의 상부에 두도록 함으로서 집적화를 용이하게 할 뿐만 아니라, 하부 기판과 다른 접합영역으로부터 발생하는 정전용량의 영향을 차단하여 출력신호의 신뢰성을 개선하였다. 이를 위해 산화 다공질 실리콘의 형성과 빠른 에칭특성을 이용하여 메사 구조를 만들고, 다공질 실리콘층의 선택적 형성과 감광막을 마스크막으로 이용하여 다공질 실리콘층을 국부적으로 형성하였다. 그리고 완성된 시료에 대해 상온에서 55 - 90% 이상의 상대 습도 범위에서 감습특성을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 습도가 증가했을 때 측정된 정전용량은 전체적으로 단조 증가하였으며, 120 Hz의 저주파수에서 측정했을 때 정전용량이 300%이상 증가하는 높은 변화를 보였다

Small-film-type ion sensors are garnering considerable interest in the fields of wearable healthcare and home-based monitoring systems. The performance of these sensors primarily relies on electrode capacitance, often employing nanocomposite materials composed of nano- and sub-micrometer particles. Traditional techniques for enhancing capacitance involve the creation of nanoparticles on film electrodes, which require cost-intensive and complex chemical synthesis processes, followed by additional coating optimization. In this study, we introduce a simple one-step electrochemical method for fabricating gold nanoparticles on a carbon nanotube (Au NP-CNT) electrode surface through cyclic voltammetry deposition. Furthermore, we assess the improvement in capacitance by distinguishing between the electrical double-layer capacitance and diffusion-controlled capacitance, thereby clarifying the principles underpinning the material design. The Au NP-CNT electrode maintains its stability and sensitivity for up to 50 d, signifying its potential for advanced ion sensing. Additionally, integration with a mobile wireless data system highlights the versatility of the sensor for health applications.

본 논문에서는 주파수 변화 감지 회로 (FVSC : frequency variation sensing circuit)를 포함하는 부궤환 루프를 가지는 저잡음 위상고정루프를 제안하였다. 위상 고정 상태에서 전압제어발진기의 출력주파수가 변화할 때 주파수 변화 감지 회로는 루프 필터의 커패시터의 전하량을 조절하여 제안한 위상고정루프의 위상잡음과 지터 특성을 개선할 수 있다. 위상고정루프의 출력 주파수가 증가하면 주파수 변화 감지 회로가 루프 필터 커패시터 전하를 감소시킨다. 이는 루프필터 출력 전압을 하강하게 하여 위상고정루프 출력 주파수가 하강하게 된다. 추가된 부궤환 루프는 제안한 위상고정루프의 위상잡음 특성을 더욱 더 좋게 한다. 주파수 변화 감지 회로에 사용된 커패시터 크기는 영점을 결정하는 루프 필터 커패시터 크기와 비교하여도 아주 작은 크기이어서 칩 크기에 영향을 미치지 않는다. 제안된 저잡음 위상고정루프는 1.8V 0.18㎛ CMOS 공정을 이용하여 설계되었다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 273fs 지터와 1.5㎲ 위상고정시간을 보여주었다.
