This study concerns the design and development of the non-vibrating capacitance probe which could be used as a non-contact sensor for tribological wear. This device detects surface charge through temporal variation in the work function of a material. Experiments are performed to demonstrate the operation of the probe on a roating aluminum shaft. The reference electrode of the probe, made of lead, is placed adjacent (< 1.25-mm distance) to the shaft. Both surfaces which are electrically connected, form a capacitor. An artificial spatial variation in the work function is imposed on the shaft surface by coating a segment along the shaft circumference with a colloidal silver paint. As the shaft rotates, the reference electode senses changing contact potential difference with the shaft surface, owing to compositional variation. Temporal variation in the contact potential difference induces a current through the electrical connection. This current is amplified and converted to a voltage signal by an electoronic circuit with an operational amplifier. The magnitude of the signal decreases asymptotically with the electrode-shaft distance and increases linearly with the rotational frequency. These results are consistent with the theoretical model. Potential applications of the probe on wear monitoring are proposed.

Various sensors such as capacitive probe, high frequency current transformer (HFCT), and acoustic emission (AE) probe were applied to a cast resin dry type transformer for partial discharge detection. We designed and fabricated a wideband low-noise amplifier having a gain of 40[dB]. From the experiment which was carried out in the same transformer, the sensitivities were 7.16[mV/pC] for capacitive probe, 3.8[mV/pC] for HFCT, and 17.9[mV/pC] for AE probe.

This paper presents a stator winding fault diagnosis technique of induction motor on the PC - based virtual instrumentation system designed using the graphical programming language LabVIEW. This method collects the 3-phase current signals using the current probe amplifier and PXI/DAQ system then the preprocessing removes the noise using LPF, after then this method transforms the stator current to Park's vector and obtains the each Park's Vector pattern and detects stator winding fault by comparing the obtained faulted pattern with the healthy pattern. This proposed LabVIEW based diagnosis system is applied to the 3 phase 1 hp induction motor and obtained the reasonable results under no load condition. The test results give us the possibility a simple and realistic on-line winding fault diagnosis system.

Performing accurate and repeatable low frequency noise measurement is critical for modeling and simulation of flicker noise. Through the accurate and repeatable on-wafer measurement, low frequency noise characteristics of the 0.18 ${\mu}m$ n-MOSFETs are discussed. And on-wafer flicker noise measurement system is presented. The on-wafer measurement system consists of cascade probe station, low noise current amplifier (SR570), and dynamic signal analyzer (HP35670A).

Chemically amplified electrochemical detection, redox-active probe being amplified its electrochemical anodic current by a sacrificial electron donor presenting in solution, holds great potential for simple and quantitative bioanalytical analysis. Herein, we report the chemically amplified electrochemical analysis that drastically enhanced a detection of ferrocenemethanol (analyte) by ferrocyanide (chemical amplifier) on 4-nitrophenyl grafted glassy carbon electrodes at $60^{\circ}C$. The glassy carbon electrode grafted with a 4-nitrophenyl group using an electrochemical reduction suppressed the oxidation of ferrocyanide and thus enabled detection of ferrocenemethanol with excellent selectivity. The ferrocenemethanol was detected down to an nM range using a linear sweep voltammetry under kinetically optimized conditions. The detection limit was improved by decreasing the concentration of the ferrocyanide and increasing temperature.

Anti-lock Brake System has been developed to reduce tendency for wheel lock and improve vehicle control during sudden braking on slippery road surfaces. This is achieved by controlling the braking pressure avoiding wheel lock, while retaining handling and brake performance. This paper is concerned about characteristics of a solenoid valve in hydraulic modulator for controlling brake pressure. First, it was modeling the electromagnet by the permeance method. Second, it was modeling the commercial Maxwell poackage program. And then, a experiment was performed in order to justify modeling. The result of modeling coincided with teh result of experiment and commercial packabe program. As a result, these modelings will be able to use in analysis of dynamic character- istics of the solenoid valve for braking.

Conventional eddy current testing has been used for the detection of the defect-like fatigue crack in the conductive materials, such as aluminum, which uses a sinusoidal signal with very narrow frequency bandwidth, Whereas, the pulsed eddy current method uses a pulse signal with a broad bandwidth. This can allow multi-frequency eddy current testing, and the penetration depth is greater than that of the conventional eddy current testing. In this work, a pulsed eddy current instrument was developed for evaluating the metal loss. The developed instrument was composed of the pulse generator generating the maximum square pulse voltage of 40V, an amplifier controlled up to 52dB, an A/D converter of 16 bit and the sampling frequency of 20 MHz, and an industrial personal computer operated by the Windows program. A pulsed eddy current probe was designed as a pancake type in which the sensing roil was located inside the driving roil. The output signals of the sensing roil increased rapidly wich the step pulse driving voltage かn off, and the latter part of the sensing coil output voltage decreased exponentially with time. The decrement value of the output signals increased as the thickness of the aluminum test piece increased.
