This paper presents a new approach to obstacle avoidance for mobile robot in unknown or partially unknown environments. The method combines two navigation subsystems: low level and high level. The low level subsystem takes part in the control of linear, angular velocities using a multivariable PI controller, and the nonlinear position control. The high level subsystem uses ultrasonic and IR sensors to detect the unknown obstacle include static and dynamic obstacle. This approach provides both obstacle avoidance and target-following behaviors and uses only the local information for decision making for the next action. Also, we propose a new algorithm for the identification and solution of the local minima situation during the robot's traversal using the set of fuzzy rules. The system has been successfully demonstrated by simulations and experiments.

The surface of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$) is functionalized ($-NH_2$, -COOH) with bifunctional organic molecules and evaluated using FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy). We immobilize 21-base pair probe DNA and hybridize fluorescence-labeled (Cy5) target DNA onto the functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles. The fluorescence images obtained from a confocal microscopy show that the functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles should detect the hybridization of complementary and noncomplementary DNA.

The IR signal entering into a sensor is composed of the following components: the self-emitted component directly from the object surface, the reflected components of the solar and sky irradiance at the object surface, and the scattered component by the atmosphere without reference to any object surfaces. The self-emitted and reflected components from the object can be lowered by the atmospheric layer between the object and the IR sensor. The principle factors influencing the atmospheric transmittance are the air temperature, the relative humidity and the observation distance. Previous studies on IR signal transmission through the atmosphere are focused on uniform atmospheric conditions and the non-uniform nature of the atmosphere was not properly treated in modeling. In this study, we use the local atmospheric transmittance to simulate the non-uniform atmosphere in analyzing the IR signal from the object surface. The results show that the nonuniform analysis of the atmosphere becomes more important as the wavelength of IR signal increases.

Output Characteristics of the spaceborn image sensor such as infrared(IR) sensor are varied according to time elapses and sensor repetition on/off operation. As a result, the quality of IR sensor image is decreased. Therefore, spaceborne image sensor require a periodic calibration using a black body system by correcting a non-uniformity of the sensor. In this paper, we proposed a MEMS-based black body system that can implement the high temperature uniformity at various standard temperatures ranging from low to high temperature and easily estimate the representative surface temperature. In addition, it has advantages lightweight, low-power and high accuracy. The feasibility of the proposed MEMS-based black body system was verified through the thermal analysis.

In this study, we have fabricated a fiber-optic radiation sensor using an organic scintillator and plastic optical fiber for brachytherapy dosimetry. Also, we have measured relative depth dose rates of Ir-192 source using a fiber-optic sensor and compared them with the results obtained using a conventional EBT film. Cerenkov lights which can be a noise in measuring scintillating light with a fiber-optic sensor are measured and eliminated by using of a background optical fiber. It is expected that a fiber-optic radiation sensor can be used in brachytherapy dosimetry due to its advantages such as a low cost, simple usage and a small volume.

The magnetic bio-sensor used the PHR (planar hall resistance) effect generated by the free layer in spin-valve giant magnetoresistance structure of Ta/NiFe/CoFe/Cu/NiFe/IrMn/Ta. The PHR element with micrometer size was fabricated through the photolithograph and dry etching process. The PHR signal with magnetic field was measured under the conditions of with and without single magnetic bead. A single magnetic bead of diameter $2.8\;{\mu}m$ was successfully detected using the PHR sensor. Therefore, the high resolution PHR sensor can be applied to bio-sensor application utilizing the output voltage variation of the PHR signals in the presence and absence of a single magnetic bead.

Using the results analyzed by FEM(Finite Element Method). the microheaters with the stress-balanced $Si_3N_4$(150 nm)/$SiO_2$(300 nm)/$Si_3N_4$(150 nm) diaphragms were fabricated by silicon micromachining techniques. Pt was used as microheater materials. Pt temperature sensor was fabricated to measure the temperature of microheaters. Resistance of temperature sensor and power dissipation of microheater were measured and calculated at the various temperatures. The thermal distribution of heater was examined by a IR thermoviewer. Measured and simulated results are compared and analyzed. The temperature coefficient of resistance of heater was about $0.00379/^{\circ}C$. Pt heater showed the power dissipation of about 51 mW at $300^{\circ}C$ and a uniform thermal distribution on the surface.

본 논문에서는 임베디드 기반의 다양한 센서를 활용한 드론의 비행기록장치 시스템 개발에 대한 새로운 아이디어를 제시한다. 이 시스템은 오픈소스 기반의 개발 보드인 라즈베리파이를 중심으로, 온도, 습도, 조도, 미세먼지 센서, 이산화탄소, 일산화탄소, 산소, 이산화질소, 아황산가스, 메탄가스, GPS, 고도 측정, IR 카메라, 카메라 모듈 센서 등 다양한 센서를 탑재하여 구성한다. 기존 드론은 주로 방역 및 방제 활동에 활용되었으나, 그 활동의 효과를 정밀하게 측정하고 분석하는 데에는 한계가 있었다. 그러나 이 논문에서 제안하는 임베디드 기반의 센서 구성은 이러한 한계를 극복할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The spectral radiance received by an infrared (IR) sensor is mainly influenced by the surface temperature of the target itself. Therefore, the precise temperature prediction is important for generating an IR target image. In this paper, we implement the combined three-dimensional surface temperature prediction module against target attitudes, environments and properties of a material for generating a realistic IR signal. In order to verify the calculated surface temperature, we are using the well-known IR signature analysis software, OKTAL-SE and compare the result with that. In addition, IR signal modeling is performed using the result of the surface temperature through coupling with OKTAL-SE.
