  • A novel resonance based proximity DC current sensor is proposed. The sensor consists of a piezo sensed and actuated cantilever beam with a permanent magnet mounted at its free end. When the sensor is placed in proximity to a wire carrying DC current, resonant frequency of the beam changes with change in current. This change in resonant frequency is used to determine the current through the wire. The structure is simulated in micro and meso scale using COMSOL Multi physics software and the sensor is found to be linear with good sensitivity.

  • In this paper, We fabricated a high temperature pressure sensor using SBD(silicon- direct-bonding) wafer of $Si/SiO_2$/Si-sub structure. This sensor was very sensitive because the piezoresistor is fabricated by single crystal silicon of the first layer of SDB wafer. Also, it was possible to operate the sensor at high temperature over $120^{\circ}C$ which is the temperature limitation of general silicon sensor because the piezoresistor was dielectric isolation from silicon substrate using silicon dioxide of the second layer. The sensitivity of this sensor is very high as the measured result of D2200 shows $183.6\;{\mu}V/V{\cdot}kPa$. Also, the output characteristic of linearity was very good. This sensor was available at high temperature as $300^{\circ}C$.

  • The performance of an inductive position sensor is described by the accuracy and the dynamic characteristics of the sensor. Both of these performance indices are affected by magnetic hysteresis and eddy currents. In this paper, a model of an inductive sensor is presented. This model includes the effects of hysteresis and eddy currents. Computer simulation shows that the sensitivity of the sensor is greatly affected by hysteresis and eddy currents. Repeability error increases with hysteresis and eddy currents effects. Results also show that eddy currents influence more on the sensor performance than hysteresis does. To reduce the effects of hysteresis and eddy currents, the sensor should be made out of thin laminations with high resistivity.

  • A fiber Fabry-Perot interferometric sensor for the measurement of current flowing into a small fuse have been studied. The proposed current sensor was fabricated with a fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer attached close to a fuse line inside a small fuse. The fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer used in the experiment had the 10 mm cavity length and the 3.5 % reflectance mirrors. The phase shift of the output signal of the current sensor was proportional to the square of current applied to the fuse and the sensitivity of the current sensor was 0.87 degree/$mA^{2}$. The experiment results show that this sensor can be used for measuring current flowing into the fuse.

  • In this paper, we fabricated a low-cost glucose sensor with a simpler structure and fabrication process than the existing glucose sensor. The currently used glucose sensor has a three-layer structure with upper, middle, and bottom plates; here, we fabricated a single-layer glucose sensor using only a printing and dispensing process. We successfully fabricated the glucose sensor using a simple method involving the formation of an electrode and insulator layer through a 2- or 3-step printing process on plastic or paper film, followed by the dispensing of glucose oxidase solution on the electrode. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and cyclic amperometry (CA) measurements were used to evaluate the characteristics of the fabricated single-layer glucose sensor. Also, its sensitivity was analyzed through glucose-controlled blood measurements. Hence, a low-cost single-layer glucose sensor was fabricated with evaluation of its characteristics demonstrating that it has useful application in medicine.

  • Multiple fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have been proposed and demonstrated for gas-flow measurements in a flow channel, using the temperature-difference method. This sensor consists of two FBG temperature sensors and two coil heaters. Coil heaters are used to heat the FBGs. The flow rate of the gas can be obtained by monitoring the difference in the Bragg-wavelength shifts of the two FBGs, which has features that exclude the effect of temperature fluctuations. In this study, experiments are conducted to measure the wavelength shift based on the flow rate, and to evaluate the gas-flow rate in a gas tube. Experimental results show that the sensor has a linear characteristic over a flow-rate range from 0 to 25 ℓ/min. The measured sensitivity of the sensor is 3.2 pm/(ℓ/min) at a coil current of 120 mA.
