고주파유전가열 장치는 심부까지도 효과적인 가온이 가능하여 각족 심부암의 치료에 응용되고 있다. 그러나 한쌍의 전극을 평행으로 대칭 배열하는 현재의 방법은 신체의 일측으로 편재되어 있는 병소에는 배열 자체가 불안정할 뿐만 아니라, 노출된 동측 피부표면이 과열되며 종양의 가온 양상도 만족스럽지 못한 경우가 많아서 임상 적응에 난점으로 지적되고 있는 실정이다. 저자들은 상기와 같은 병소를 보다 안전하고_도 효과적으로 가온하기 위하여 두 전극간에 일정한 각도를 이루는 새로운 전극 배열을 시도하였다. 즉, 임상 적용 가능성을 고려한 $60^[\circ},\;90^{\circ}\;및\;120^{\circ}$로 전극을 배열하고 모형 (phantom)에서 가온 실험을 행하여 이같은 각도 배열에서의 온도 분포의 특성을 평가할 수 있었고, 일측에 편재된 병소를 가진 3예의 환자에게 각도 배열로 온열치료를 시행한 결과 환자의 수용성, 부작용 및 온도분포에 있어서 만족할 만한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 저자들이 시도한 전극의 각도배열은 일측에 편재된 병소를 유전 가열 장치로 가온 할 때 평행 배열이라는 한계점을 극복할 수 있는 새로운 방법으로서 매우 고무적으로 생각된다.

8 MHz 고주파 유전형 가열장치로 모형을 가열할 때에 전극의 크기와 모형의 두께에 따른 온도 분포를 알아보기 위하여 다양한 크기의 전극과 다양한 두께의 모형을 조합하여 실험하였다. 전극은 10, 15, 20, 25, 그리고 30 cm 크기를 사용하였고 모형은 10, 15, 20, 25, 그리고 30 cm 두께를 사용하였다. 모형의 두께가 25 cm 이상일 경우에는 전극의 크기가 모형의 두께보다 크거나 혹은 같을때에 중심부에 균일한 온도 분포를 얻을 수 있었으나, 모형의 두께가 20 cm 이하일 경우에는 전극의 크기가 모형의 두께와 같을 때는 균일한 온도 분포를 얻을 수 없었고 전극의 크기가 모형의 두께보다 클 때만 균일한 온도 분포를 얻을 수 있었다. 크기가 다른 한쌍의 전극을 사용하여 가열시에는 작은 전극 쪽으로 가열 부분이 집중되었고 그 현상은 전극크기의 차가 클 수록 심하였다.

Nickel sulfide (NiS) is one of the most promising candidates as an electrode material for supercapacitors due to its good capacitive properties, high electrical conductivity and low cost. In addition to the development of the new electrode materials, nanostructuring the electrode surface is one of the main issues in enhancing the capacitive performance of the supercapacitors because the increased surface area can improve the charge transfer and energy storage processes occurring at the electrode surface. However, most nanofabrication techniques require complicated and delicate nanoprocesses, and hence are not suitable for practical use. In this work, we developed a simple method to fabricate nanostructured NiS electrodes by depositing NiS onto $TiO_2$ nanoparticles. First, $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were spin-coated on a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate, and then NiS layers were deposited onto the $TiO_2$ nanoparticles by consecutive dip-coatings in the solutions containing nickel and sulfur precursors. This nanostructured NiS electrode showed significantly improved capacitive properties compared to the electrode of NiS films deposited without $TiO_2$ nanoparticles. The asymmetric full-cell supercapacitor with this nanostructured NiS electrode and activated carbon electrode was also fabricated and investigated.

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.

Noncontact electrocardiogram (ECG) measurement using capacitive-coupled technique is a very reliable long-term noninvasive health-care remote monitoring system. It can be used continuously without interrupting the daily activities of the user and is one of the most promising developments in health-care technology. However, ECG signal is a very small electric signal. A robust system is needed to separate the clean ECG signal from noise in the measurement environment. Noise may come from many sources around the system, for example, bad contact between the sensor and body, common-mode electrical noise, movement artifacts, and triboelectric effect. Thus, in this paper, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) is applied to denoise a real-time ECG signal in capacitive-coupled sensors. The ECG signal becomes highly stable and noise-free by combining the common analog signal processing and the digital EKF in the processing step. Furthermore, to achieve ubiquitous monitoring, android-based application is developed to process the heart rate in a realtime ECG measurement.

The purpose of this study is to optimize the design of a capacitive pressure sensor element using the simulation of electrical characteristics. The simulation of the ceramic sensor diaphragm ($Al_2O_3$) was performed by permitting pressure to change the curvature of the diaphragm. The pressure capacitance ($C_P$) was increased from 19.63 pF to 15.26 pF by applying pressure because the distance between the electrodes has been changed from $30{\mu}m$ to $15{\mu}m$. When the thickness of the diaphragm was changed to 0.46~0.52 mm, a larger capacitance change showed in accordance with the reduced thickness, which means an increase of sensitivity. However, considering the viewpoint of the signal linearity, it was selected for the optimum thickness of the diaphragm to 0.50 mm. The designed sensor element based on simulated results was tested to measure the output characteristics. Comparing of simulated and measured results, there was a margin of error of approximately 2%.

Capacitive deionization of saline water is one of the most promising water purification technologies due to its high energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This study synthesizes porous carbon composites composed of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and activated carbon (AC) with various rGO/AC ratios using a facile chemical method. Surface characterization of the rGO/AC composites shows a successful chemical reduction of GO to rGO and incorporation of AC into rGO. The optimized rGO/AC composite electrode exhibits a specific capacitance of ~243 F g^-1 in a 1 M NaCl solution. The galvanostatic charging-discharging test shows excellent reversible cycles, with a slight shortening in the cycle time from the ~260^th to the 530^th cycle. Various monovalent sodium salts (NaF, NaCl, NaBr, and NaI) and chloride salts (LiCl, NaCl, KCl, and CsCl) are deionized with the rGO/AC electrode pairs at a cell voltage of 1.3 V. Among them, NaI shows the highest specific adsorption capacity of ~22.2 mg g^-1. Detailed surface characterization and electrochemical analyses are conducted.

This paper presents a capacitive humidity sensor using porous silicon layers formed tom the anodization of p-type silicon in HF solution. The upper electrodes consist of many aluminum strips over porous silicon, between which the porous silicon is etched away. The sensor showed a good sensitivity(20pF/%RH) and lineaity in the range of 40%RH$\sim$80%RH, a hysteresis of ${\pm}2%$ RH, and a slow transient response. These preliminary resluts show that futher improvement can still be expected.

CCS was developed and applied to rotating machines because of accurately measuring the spindle error motion without significant efforts. However, researches on the CCS have been focused on ideal cases where circumferential gaps were ignored. This paper presents the effects of circumferential gaps and proposes an optimal CCS considering the circumferential gaps. First, electrostatic analysis of the CCS that includes the circumferential gaps is performed using the FEM, and an additional capacitance due to the circumferential gap can be approximated as an equivalent extended sensor length. Second, a mathematical model of the CCS considering the circumferential gaps is derived, and the optimal CCS is determined through minimization of the weighted error amplification factor. Finally, two CCSs, both considering and ignoring the circumferential gaps, are built, and the effectiveness of the optimal design is verified through simulation and experiment.

This paper represents a highly porous MWCNT film electrode with interconnected open pores and demonstrated the possibility of using an MWCNT network film as the top electrode for polyimide capacitive humidity sensors. Polyimide humidity sensors with MWCNT electrodes exhibited about 6 times faster response than equivalent Cr electrode sensors. This result may be due to their percolated pore structures, which make water molecules accessible to all polyimide surfaces. The much faster response times of MWCNT electrode sensors is attributed to the percolated pore network, which allows more water molecules to be accessible to polyimide surfaces.
