This paper is aimed to develop the circuit of a coil-type oil sensor packaged to the automotive engine oil monitoring the deterioration in the driving condition and let a driver notify the optimized time for the exchange of engine oil. By applying the principle which the deterioration of automotive engine oil can be expressed to the dielectric constant, the capacitance bridge circuit and the integrator circuit are designed and packaged to a coil-typed engine oil. In this study. the range of operating temperature of engine oil is experimentally recommended within 55$^{\circ}C$ for the stability of a sensor designed. It is concluded that the characteristics of output voltage converted from the dielectric constant are linearly distributed.

We developed a high-performance methane gas sensor based on a $SnO_2$ hollow hemisphere array structure of nano-thickness. The sensor structures were fabricated by sputter deposition of Sn metal over an array of polystyrene spheres distributed on a planar substrate, followed by an oxidation process to oxidize the Sn to $SnO_2$ while removing the polystyrene template cores. The surface morphology and structural properties were examined by scanning electron microscopy. An optimization of the structure for methane sensing was also carried out. The effects of oxidation temperature, film thickness, gold doping, and morphology were examined. An impressive response of ~220% was observed for a 200 ppm concentration of $CH_4$ gas at an operating temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ for a sample fabricated by 30 sec sputtering of Sn, and oxidation at $800^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr in air. This high response was enabled by the open structure of the hemisphere array thin films.

본 논문에서는 온도/습도 센서를 이용한 WSN(Wireless Sensor Network) 기반의 화재방재 시스템 개발을 목표로 하여 화재 감시를 위해 분산되어 있는 각 노드들의 구성적 특성과 데이터 패킷 전송 특성에 맞는 프로토콜을 연구한다. 무선 센서 네트워크의 경우 배터리를 에너지로 하여 multi-hop 방식의 데이터 전송을 한다는 특징을 가지고 있으며, WSN 화재방재 시스템이 지속적으로 유지되기 위해서는 센서 노드의 관리와 배치, 그리고 에너지 소비를 효율적으로 조절할 필요가 있다. 그리하여 보통의 WSN 환경이 아닌 화재방재를 위한 특성을 감안하여 효율적인 에너지 소비의 센싱 주기 및 프로토콜을 연구한다.

$Fe_2O_3,\;Al_2O_3,\;TiO_2$ 및 Si분말을 사용하여 고상반응법으로 써어미스터 소결체를 합성하였다. 합성된 소결체의 조식특성을 SEM으로 조사하고, 액체항온조에서 $-50~+50^{\circ}C$ 온도영역에서의 측정 결과 $\beta$상수가 972~4005K의 값을 갖는 써어미스터 소결체를 얻었다. 이 소결체는 고공기온측정을 위한 라디오존데용 온도센서로 사용될 수 있다.

This paper proposes the strain-insensitive temperature sensing in quasi-distributed sensor system using different thermal expension coefficient materials. This system has the high sensitivity and hasn't the necessity of reference signal. We can monitor the condition of the power cable with this system.

Recently, number of studies for porous silicon (PSi) have been investigated by many researchers. Multistructured porous silicon such as a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) PSi, has been a topic of interest, because of its unique optical properties. DBR PSi were prepared by using an electrochemical etch of $P{^+}{^+}$-type silicon wafer with resistivity between 0.1 and $10m{\Omega}cm$. The electrochemical etch with square wave current density results in two different refractive indices in the porous layer. In this work, DBR porous silicon chips for a simple and portable organic vapor-sensing device have fabricated. The optical characteristics of DBR PSi have been investigated. DBR porous silicon have been characterized by FT-IR and Ocean optics 2000 spectrometer. The device used DBR PSi chip has been demonstrated as an excellent gas sensor, showing a great senstivity to organic vapor at room temperature.

In existing middleware for body sensor networks, energy limitations, hardware heterogeneity, increases in node temperature, and the absence of software reusability are major problems. In this paper, we propose an event-based grid middleware component that solves these problems using distributed resources in in vivo sensor nodes. In our multi-hop communication, we use a lightweight rendezvous routing algorithm in a publish/subscribe system of event-based communication. To facilitate software reuse and application development, a modified open services gateway initiative has been implemented in our middleware architecture. We evaluated our grid middleware in a cancer treatment scenario with combined hyperthermia, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy procedures, using in vivo sensors.

Since Korea was initiated a industrialization, many transmission lines have been installed to meet the increasing demand for the electric power. In large city, underground transmission lines were widely installed because of the environmental issue. But there have been appeared many failures on the lines, such as the external scar of cable, a fire in the culvert, overheating of cable, and so on. There have been many studies to monitor them and improve the reliability of the power supply. As a method monitoring the lines, a DTS(Distributed Temperature Sensor) system is developed and applied. This system monitors the lines and predicts the failures, using a optical fiber sensor. This paper describes this DTS system and its application for the underground transmission lines.
