The passive open-path Fourier-Transform-Infrared system was implemented for the toxic gas monitoring. Noise Equivalent Differential Temperature(NEDT) was investigated as a system performance evaluation figure and analyzed numerically with the designed parameters. Calculated NEDT was compared with the experimental value in the wavelength region of $700{\sim}1400cm^{-1}^$. The minimum detectable gas concentration was estimated from the obtained NEDT at the absorption wavelength of $SF_6$.

To estimate the measurement uncertainty for industrial platinum resistance thermometers(IPRTs) made with 3-wire connection, the immersion temperature profile was investigated using a liquid bath. Two types of IPRTs having lead wires made of silver and nickel were constructed and the immersion profiles were measured at temperatures from -50 $^{\circ}C$ to 250 $^{\circ}C$ using 3-wire and 4-wire method. As immersion depth and temperature increased, the resistances measured by 3-wire method increased linearly but not for 4-wire method. To calibrate a 3-wire IPRT, the immersion effect must be accounted for. We propose a linear equation to assess correctly the measurement uncertainty.

Levels of fumonisins, mycotoxins produced by fungal species, must be accurately and rapidly monitored to ensure food safety. In this study, using surface plasmon resonance sensor, a batch-type biosensor was fabricated to detect fumonisin $B_1$. By applying this biosensor to fumonisin $B_1$ solutions of 0 to 6 ppm, a significant calibration model was developed for measurement. Coefficient of determination in regression analysis for the model was 0.920. Results indicate that detection of fumonisin $B_1$ by surface plasmon resonance biosensor was highly feasible.

We proposed a new sensitivity verification method for the UHF partial discharge(PD) detection system. Initially, we measure the UHF power induced by 5 pC PD which takes place near UHF sensor. Subsequently, we inject the swept UHF signal from a network analyzer into the GIS and measure the attenuation of the signal along the 71S Both the UHF power by 5 pC PD and the attenuation make it possible to verify the sensitivity and spatial coverage of the PD detection system. This method doesn\`t require the calibration of injected pulse type UHF signal into the GIS and makes us precisely measure the attenuation in frequency domain.

A vibrating U-Tube decimeter has been evaluated as a sensor for measuring the concentration of oil in the liquid line of a refrigeration system. Calibration and performance tests were conducted under simulated liquid-line conditions for R-407C/POE oil and R-410A/POE oil mixtures in oil concentration from 0 to 15 weight percent. Test temperatures ranged from 20 to 5$0^{\circ}C$. As a result of test, oil concentration correlations are presented in terms of specific gravity at each constant temperature. These equations enable to predict the oil concentration without any extraction of the mixture, and can be applied for R-407C/POE oil and R-410A/POE oil mixtures.

A number of efforts had been sought to instrument bridges for the purpose of structural monitoring and assessment. The outcome of these efforts, as gauged by advances in the understanding of the definition of structural damage and their role in sensor selection as well as in the design of cost and data-effective monitoring systems, has itself been difficult to assess. The authors' experience with the design, calibration, and operation of a monitoring system for the Kishwaukee Bridge in Illinois has provided several lessons that bear upon these concerns. The systems have performed well in providing a continuous, low-cost monitoring platform for bridge engineers with immediate relevant information.

This paper describes the developed sensor for measuring the time-varying magnetic fields and presents the characteristics of the magnetic fields and presents the characteristics of the magnetic field generated by lighting a fluorescent lamp. The frequency bandwidth of magnetic field measurement system is kknown as 40 Hz∼100 kHz by means of calibration experiment. The magnetic field waveform which originates from the various lighting systems was measured and the frequency components were analyzed by fast Fourier transformation technique. The magnetic field generated during the operation of the fluorescent lamp mainly includes the odd harmonics, and in the case\ulcorner of push button switch and high frequency starter types the fast transient component is occurred in an instant of lighting.

The purpose of this study is to improve the performance of robot by providing visual function with robot and developing high-functioned controller and control program. The developed high-functioned controller and software have the better accuracy and flexibility in the movement of robot by complementing the existing robot controller and software problems. To provide visual function to robot, camera calibration, thresholding and contouring tools are also developed and applied in this study. These tools help robot recognize the central points and orientations of objects on work-bench.

The field application of acoustic emission(AE) testing for brand-new metal pressure vessel were performed. We will introduce the test procedure for acoustic emission test such as instrument check distance between sensors, sensor location, whole system calibration, pressurization sequence, noise reduction and evaluation. The data of acoustic emission test contain many noise signal, these noise can be reduced by time filtering which based on the description of observation during AE test.

A new and simple calibration technique that greatly enhances the measurement sensitivity of conventional fiber-optic reflectometry based on Fresnel reflection from the tip of a fiber is used for demonstrating the feasibility of measuring solute concentrations and index changes in fluids to very high precision. The amplitude of pulses originating from reflection from the fiber-fluid interface is compared in real-time with the amplitude of reference pulses from a fiber-air interface such that errors caused by pulse amplitude fluctuations and slightly varying detector responses are corrected. Using solutions of salt and water, it is demonstrated that the technique is capable of measuring index changes of about $1 {\times} 10^{-5}$ corresponding to a salt concentrations of 0.01 %.
