무선 센서 네트워크 시스템에서 에너지 효율을 증가시키기 위한 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있으며 그중에서도 통신과 관련된 에너지 소모를 감소시키는 연구가 가장 많이 진행되어 왔다. 실제로 각 노드에서는 통신 및 센싱이 빈번하게 일어난다. 그러므로 통신에서의 에너지 효율을 증가시키기 위해서는 센싱 주기와 전송 주기를 제어하는 기능이 요구된다. 또한 질의에 해당하는 노드에게만 질의를 전파함으로써 전송횟수의 감소를 통하여 에너지 소비를 감소할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 질의어를 통해 센싱 주기와 전송 주기를 제어할 수 있는 노드 관리 기능과 서비스 디스커버리 기술을 응용하여 질의에 해당하는 노드에게만 질의 전파 제한 메커니즘을 제안하고, 구현하며 성능을 평가한다.

$In_2O_3$ nanowires were coated with $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles to investigate the improvement of ethanol gas sensing performance compared with as-synthesized $In_2O_3$ nanowires. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the nanowires synthesized by VLS mechanism had diameters and lengths of approximately 50-100 nm and a few micrometers, respectively. $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles produced by hydrothermal method was in the size range of a few to a few tens nm. As-synthesized and $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles coated $In_2O_3$ nanowires sensors exhibited responses of 1.96% and 4.57%, respectively for the ethanol gas concentration of 200 ppm at $200^{\circ}C$. The underlying mechanism for the improved responses of $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles coated $In_2O_3$ nanowires sensors is discussed.

A novel sensor material of Au nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized 1D ${\alpha}-MoO_3$ nanobelts (NBs) was fabricated by a facile lysine-assisted approach. The obtained $Au/{\alpha}-MoO_3$ product was characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). Then, in order to investigate the gas sensing performances of our samples, a comparative gas sensing study was carried out on both the ${\alpha}-MoO_3$ NBs before and after Au NPs decoration by using ethanol vapor as the molecular probe. The results turned out that, after the functionalization of Au NPs, the sensor exhibited improved gas-sensing characteristics than the pure ${\alpha}-MoO_3$, such as response and recovery time, optimal operating temperature (OT) and excellent selectivity. Take for example 200 ppm of ethanol, the response/recovery times were 34 s/43 s and 5.7 s/10.5 s, respectively, while the optimal operating temperature (OT) was lower to $200^{\circ}C$ rather than $250^{\circ}C$. Besides, the functionalized sensor showed a higher response to ethanol at $200^{\circ}C$, and response was 1.6 times higher than the pure $MoO_3$. The mechanism of such improved sensing properties was interpreted, which might be attributed to the spillover effect of Au NPs and the electronic metal-support interaction.

컨테이너 보안장치(CSD)는 컨테이너의 도어를 통한 침입을 감시하는 장치이며, IEEE 802.15.4의 비컨 모드에서 RFD로 동작한다. 그러나 비컨 모드에서는 CSD 리더가 없어도 주기적으로 리더의 신호를 탐지하게 되므로 배터리 소모가 크다. CSD는 목적지에 도착할 때까지 이상없이 동작해야 하므로 배터리 소모를 줄이고, 위험 발생 시 CSD 리더에게 능동적으로 메시지를 전달해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 미국 DHS의 CSD 규격에 부합하는 저전력 CSD를 제안한다. 제안하는 CSD는 전력 소모를 최소화한 하드웨어 디자인과 저전력 동작기법인 불침번 기법, 저전력 센싱 기능을 통해 배터리 소모를 줄인다. 또한 위험 상황 발생 시 리더에게 능동적으로 경고 메시지를 전달한다. 성능 평가 결과 제안한 CSD는 불침번 기법을 통해 배터리 소모를 70% 이상 줄이고, 저전력 센싱 기능을 통해 불필요한 센싱을 80% 이상 감소시키며, 직접적인 통신 거리 밖에 있는 리더에게 94%가 넘는 확률로 메시지를 전달할 수 있음을 보였다.

Flexible strain sensors, as the core member of the family of smart electronic devices, along with reasonable sensing range and sensitivity plus low cost, have rose a huge consumer market and also immense interests in fundamental studies and technological applications, especially in the field of biomimetic robots movement detection and human health condition monitoring. In this paper, we propose a new flexible strain sensor based on thick CVD graphene film and its low-cost fabrication strategy by using the commercial adhesive tape as flexible substrate. The tensile tests in a strain range of ~30% were implemented, and a gage factor of 30 was achieved under high strain condition. The optical microscopic observation with different strains showed the evolution of cracks in graphene film. Together with commonly used platelet overlap theory and percolation network theory for sensor resistance modeling, we established an overlap destructive resistance model to analyze the sensing mechanism of our devices, which fitted the experimental data very well. The finding of difference of fitting parameters in small and large strain ranges revealed the multiple stage feature of graphene crack evolution. The resistance fallback phenomenon due to the viscoelasticity of flexible substrate was analyzed. Our flexible strain sensor with low cost and simple fabrication process exhibits great potential for commercial applications.

A new approach to the design of bank note counters is suggested. Modern bank note counters are equipped with several types of sensors for counting and detection of counterfeit bank notes. To achieve higher speed of counting while maintaining the sensing capability, longitudinal feeding scheme is proposed. Several merits of longitudinal feeding are discussed. Taguchi method is used for the optimization of the feeding mechanism.

The testing philosophy and control schemes are investigated and applied to construct the Automatic Microwave Leakage Inspection System (AMLIS) . AMLIS is consists of three major parts such as Material Handling Mechanism, Fine Positioning Mechanism and Scanning Mechanism. The material Handling unit is designed to perform loading and unloading microwave oven onto the testing point by pneumatic cylinder and vacuum pump. The Fine positioning part includes X-Y-.THETA. table and distance sensing equipment. The scanning part is composed of five SCARA robots, which traverse X-Y-Z catesian coordinates respectively. The leakage testing probes are placed at the end of this each robot then the path and speed are both controlled via microprocessors. A performance test of this system combined with electric parts and software is done and the basic major function of system are accomplished.

This paper describes the development of a thigh-muscle strength-assistance robot, which is a kind of wearable robot. For practicality and commercialization, we proposed three fundamental concepts: the reduction of the thigh-muscle strength, minimized degree of dependence on a powered actuator, and complete wearer safety. Based on these concepts, a spring and link bar mechanism was conceived as a novel idea. The movement of the thigh is transferred to the spring mechanism through the link bar; hence, the elastic force of the spring assists the thigh muscle. Using forse sensing resistor (FSR) sensors and a powered cam mechanism, the muscle assistance is automatically activated and deactivated according to the wearer's movement. The specific mechanisms of the robot are addressed in detail, and the effectiveness is verified by experiments.

In this paper, the design of automatic impact force control mechanism of hydraulic breaker was studied. The control mechanism uses the change of piston upper chamber pressure, when the hydraulic breaker impacts various strength rock. The piston stroke is controlled by rock strength sensing valve, piston stroke switching valve, and piston control valve. It is imperative to denote the area of each valve section, the spring constant of the spring. It provides convenience to users by automatically adjusting the appropriate striking force, according to the strength of the rock. Additionally, by increasing work productivity, it can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions due to fuel efficiency reduction.

본 논문에서는 이론과 실제 현상의 차이를 보이기 위해 우선 테스트베드 센서 네트워크에서 이론에 기반한 이웃 노드 집합과 실제 연결 설정된 이웃 노드 집합의 차이의 결과를 보인다. 이러한 결과는 이론적 통신 반경에 근거한 관리 메커니즘들(예, 듀티사이클링, 라우팅, 애그리게이션 등)이 의도한 성능을 얻지 못할 가능성을 시사해 준다. 본 논문에서는 에너지 효율성을 고려하여 실제 이웃 노드 집합에 기반한 실용적인 듀티사이클링 메커니즘을 제안한다. 이 메커니즘은 각 존(의도되어 분할된 네트워크의 일부 영역)에서 특정 임계치 내의 유사성을 가진 센싱값들의 중복 전송을 억제한다. 실제 센서 데이터를 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안한 메커니즘이 중요 센싱값의 전송을 보장하며, 네트워크 라이프타임을 증가시킴을 보인다.
