The technology and market size of image sensors continue to develop thanks to the release of image sensors that exceed 100 million pixels in 2019 and expansion of black box camera markets for vehicles in addition to existing mobile applications. We review the technology flow of image sensors that have been constantly evolving for 40 years since Hitachi launched a 200,000-pixel image sensor in 1979. Although CCD has made inroads into image sensor market for a while based on good picture quality, CMOS image sensor (CIS) with active pixels has made inroads into the market as semiconductor technology continues to develop, since the electrons generated by the incident light are converted to the electric signals in the pixel, and the power consumption is low. CIS image sensors with superior characteristics such as high resolution, high sensitivity, low power consumption, low noise and vivid color continue to be released as the new technologies are incorporated. At present, new types of structures such as Backside Illumination and Isolation Cell have been adopted, with better sensitivity and high S/N ratio. In the future, new photoconductive materials are expected to be adopted as a light absorption part in place of the pn junction.

Recently, as the supply of residential polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) increases, the durability and lifetime of the PEMFC system are becoming important. The related studies have been mainly focused on the durability and lifetime of materials while the research on the durability and maintenance of the system level is insufficient. In this paper, a model-based fault detection method is developed considering an air supply system that is dominant to the system performance and efficiency. A commercial 1 kW residential fuel cell system is built, and experiments are conducted under various operation loads and states (normal, 6 faults). From the experimental data, nominal models and residuals are generated. With the residual pattern obtained from real-time data, the detection and classification of various faults can be possible. The technical importance of this paper is to minimize extra sensor installation by using the empirical model rather than a complex mathematical model, and to decrease the number of models by using the applicable model at three loads. Finally, the model-based fault detection method for the air supply system of a PEMFC is established and is expected to be applicable to other subsystems.

This article describes the characteristics of nondispersive infrared carbon dioxide gas sensor according to the temperatures and humidifies. In this researches, a thermopile sensor that included application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) was used and the White-cell structure was implemented as an optical waveguide. The developed sensor modules were installed in gas chamber and then the temperature of gas chamber has been increased from 283 K to 313 K with 10K temperature step. In order to analyze the effects of humidity levels, the relative humidity levels were changed from 30 to 80%R.H. with small humidifier. Then, the characteristics of sensor modules were acquired with the increment of carbon dioxide concentrations from 0 to 2,000 ppm. When the initial voltages of sensors were compared before and after humidifying the chamber at constant temperature, the decrements of the output voltages of sensors are like these: 9mV (reference infrared sensor), 41 mV (carbon dioxide sensor), 2 mV (temperature sensor). With the increment of ambient temperature, the averaged output voltage of carbon dioxide sensor was increased 19 mV, however, when the humidity level was increased, it was decreased 14mV. Based upon the experimental results, the humidity effect could be alleviated by the increment of temperature, so the effects of humidity and temperature could be only compensated by the ambient temperature itself. The estimated carbon dioxide concentrations showed 10% large errors below 200 ppm, however, the errors of the estimations of carbon dioxide concentrations were less than ${\pm}5%$ from 400 to 2,000 ppm.

산업현장에서의 지게차의 전복에 의한 안전사고 빈도가 매우 높은 편이다. 지게차 전복의 가장 큰 원인은 과적으로, 이를 방지하기 위해서 적재 중량을 측정해야 한다. 가장 보편적인 적재 중량 측정 방식은 로드셀(load cell)로 측정 오차가 적은 장점이 있지만 설치 단가가 비싸다는 점 때문에 산업현장에 쉽게 적용하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구는 로드 셀 방식의 대안으로 제시되었지만 측량 정밀도가 높지 않은 strain gauge 센싱 방식을 적용한 지게차 새로운 적재 중량 측정 시스템을 제안한다. 센서의 측량 정밀도와 내구성을 높이기 위해 4개의 센서가 각각 4개의 anchor bolt에 삽입되는 구조로 제작하였다. 제작된 anchor 볼트 형태의 strain gauge 센서를 지게차에 적용하여 측정한 결과 1%의 측정 오차를 얻을 수 있었다.

Oxygen diffuses through the cation-specific membrane, reducing the coulomb yield of the fuel cell. In the present study, attempts were made to enhance current generation from the fuel cell by lowering the oxygen diffusion, including the uses of ferricyanide as a cathode mediator and of a platinum-coated graphite electrode. Ferricyanide did not act as a mediator as expected, but as an oxidant in the cathode compartment of the microbial fuel cell. The microbial fuel cell with platinum-coated graphite cathode generated a maximum current 3-4 times higher than the control fuel cell with graphite cathode, and the critical oxygen concentration of the former was 2.0 mg $1^{-1}$, whilst that of the latter was 6.6 mg $1^{-1}$. Based on these results, it was concluded that inexpensive electrodes are adequate for the construction of an economically feasible microbial fuel cell with better performance as a novel wastewater treatment process.

캐드헤린-카테닌 복합체는 세포의 부착 접합부에서 힘의 전달에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 생각된다. 그러나 기계적 힘 신호를 시각화 하고 감지하는 적절한 도구의 부재로, 캐드헤린-카테닌 복합체가 세포 간 접합에서 힘 전달을 조절하는 기본 메커니즘은 아직 파악하기가 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 형광공명에너지전이를 기반으로 설계된 알파카테닌 센서를 사용하여 캐드헤린에 의해 매개되는 힘 전달을 시각화 하였다. 이러한 결과는 알파카테닌이 세포-세포 접합부에서 캐드헤린 매개 기계적에너지변환(mechanotransduction) 경로의 핵심적인 힘 트랜스듀서(force transducer) 임을 보여준다. 본 연구는 향후 기계적 힘의 세포-세포 상호간의 의사소통에 미치는 영향과 생리학적/병리학적 현상과의 관계를 연구하는 데 중요한 이해를 제공할 것이라 본다.

The conventional machine vision system which has uniform rectangular grid requires tremendous amount of computation for processing and analysing an image especially in 2-D image transfermations such as scaling, rotation and 3-D reconvery problem typical in robot application environment. In this study, the imaging system with nonuiformly distributed image sensors simulating human visual system, referred to as Ploar Exponential Grid(PEG), is compared with the existing conventional uniform rectangular grid system in terms of image resolution and computational complexity. By mimicking the geometric structure of the PEG sensor cell, we obtained PEG-like images using computer simulation. With the images obtained from the simulation, image resolution of the two systems are compared and some basic image processing tasks such as image scaling and rotation are implemented based on the PEG sensor system to examine its performance. Furthermore Fourier transform of PEG image is described and implemented in image analysis point of view. Also, the range and heading-angle measurement errors usually encountered in 3-D coordinates recovery with stereo camera system are claculated based on the PEG sensor system and compared with those obtained from the uniform rectangular grid system. In fact, the PEC imaging system not only reduces the computational requirements but also has scale and rotational invariance property in Fourier spectrum. Hence the PEG system has more suitable image coordinate system for image scaling, rotation, and image recognition problem. The range and heading-angle measurement errors with PEG system are less than those of uniform rectangular rectangular grid system in practical measurement range.

NASICON 전해질을 이용하여 대기환경 측정용의 SOx센서를 개발하였다. 다음 형태의 $Na_{2}SiO_{3}(Pt)$ 기준전극을 사용한 갈바니 셀을 조립하였다. Pt | $Na_{2}SiO_{3}$ | NASICON | $Na_{2}SO_{4}$ | Pt, $SO_{2}$, air $SO_{2}$ 와 NASICON의 반응을 피하기 위해 $Na_{2}SO_{4}(Pt)$를 지시전극으로 사용하였으며, $400{\sim}550^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 $5{\sim}95ppm$ 농도의 $SO_{2}$ 가스를 주입하고 나서 EMF를 측정하였다. $500^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 측정된 EMF는 계산치와 일치하였으나, $500^{\circ}C$ 이하에서는 불완전한 평형 때문에 센서의 거동이 불안정하였다. 감응시간은 약 10분 정도 이내였다. 이전지의 안정도와 응답시간으로 보건데, $Na_{2}SiO_{3}(Pt)$를 기준전극으로 하고 순수 $Na_{2}SO_{4}(Pt)$를 지시전극으로한 NASICON 고체전해질은 SOx 측정용의 상업적인 센서물질로써 가능성이 있다.

최근 우리나라에서는 지진, 산불, 태풍, 홍수, 산사태 등의 자연재해가 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 산불의 경우 10년 평균, 발생빈도, 피해면적, 피해금액은 2021년 기준으로 감소했지만, 2022년 3월 4일부터 13일까지 9일간 경북 울진과 강원 삼척 일대에서 발생했다. 산불은 삼림 2만ha를 불태우고 213시간 43분 만에 진화를 완료해 산림청이 관련 통계를 작성한 1986년 이후 '최장기 산불' 기록을 남겼다. 피해 규모도 커지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Geofencing 기술을 적용한 LoRa 기반의 센서 네트워크 구축을 통해, 저렴한 비용으로 효율적인 센서 네트워크 구축이 가능함을 확인하였으며 산불 등의 재해 관리에 대한 실효성 검증을 하였다. GPS와 자이로센서, 연소탐지 센서를 통해 변화량을 감지하고, 정확한 Geofencing Cell의 유효성 크기를 정의하였다. Node와 Node, Node와 Server사이의 효율적인 데이터 통신을 위해 LoRa Payload Frame Structure를 센서정보의 크기에 맞게 유동적 크기를 갖도록 설계하여 제안하였다.
