Measurement of supersaturation is important in crystallization processes, because it is one of key factors to control crystal size distribution and shape determining product quality. A monitoring system of the supersaturation using a quartz crystal sensor is applied to the supersaturation measurement. From the variation of resonant frequency, the beginning of the formation of salt crystal on the sensor surface is detected while the sensor is directly cooled down. The degree of supersaturation is computed from the solubility difference at the temperatures of the salt solution and the sensor. The performance of the propsed system of the supersaturation measurement is examined by applying the system to the crystallization of three different salt solutions. The experimental outcome compared with eye observation result and photographic analysis indicates that the proposed system is effective and useful to determine the supersaturation in the crystallization process. In addition, the microscopic monitoring of the initial stage crystallization is available with the sensor system.

The advance of wireless telecommunication and observation technologies leads developing sensor and sensor network for serving the context information continuously. Besides, in order to understand and cope with the context awareness based on the sensor network, it is becoming important issue to deal with plentiful data transmitted from various sensors. Therefore, we propose a context awareness system to deal with the plentiful sensor data in a vast area such as the prevention of a forest fire, the warning system for detecting environmental pollution, and the analysis of the traffic information, etc. The proposed system consists of the context acquisition to collect and store various sensor data, the knowledge base to keep context information and context log, the rule manager to process context information depending on user defined rules, and the situation information manager to analysis and recognize the context, etc. The proposed system is implemented for managing renewable energy data management transmitted from a large scale area.

Wireless sensor networks are subject to highly heterogeneous system requirements in terms of their functionality and performance due to their broad application areas. Though the heterogeneity hinders the opportunity of developing a single universal platform for sensor networks, efforts to provide uniform, inter-operable and scalable ones for sensor networks are still essential for the growth of the industry as well as their technological advance. As a part of our work to develop such a robust platform, this paper presents the software architecture for sensor nodes with focus on our sensor node operating system and its configuration methodology. Addressing principle issues in its design space which includes programming, execution, task scheduling and software layer models, our architecture is highly reconfigurable with respect to system resources and functional requirements and also highly efficient in supporting multi-threading under small system resources.

Sensor network supports data delivery from Physical world to cyber space. Sensors get physical events then wireless network transfers sensor data to service server. We use sensor network technology to light control system for intelligent building. In ubiquitous computing environment. wireless sensor network is basic tool for intelligent service. In this paper, we propose intelligent building light control system based on wireless sensor network. It is implemented using previous light control product, can be adopted to present building light system.

This paper represents a map building and localization system for mobile robot. Map building and navigation is a complex problem because map integrity cannot be sustained by odometry alone due to errors introduced by wheel slippage, distortion and simple linealized odometry equation. For accurate localization, we propose sensor fusion system using encoder sensor and indoor GPS module as relative sensor and absolute sensor, respectively. To build a map, we developed a sensor based navigation algorithm and grid based map building algorithm based on Embedded Linux O.S. A wall following decision engine like an expert system was proposed for map building navigation. We proved this system's validity through field test.

Degradation diagnosis of cable is one of major issues for operation and maintenance in overhead distribution power lines. The diagnostic system for overhead power lines is composed of three parts in functional aspect - a travelling unit, a sensing unit and a communication unit. Among them, sensor detects the defects such as corrosion and disconnecting of power lines. Performance of sensor is very important, and besides, the size and structure of sensor is restricted for installation to small and lightweight diagnostic system. This paper suggests an optimal eddy current sensor best suit for small and lightweight diagnostic system in consideration of detecting performance, size and ease of installation and so on. Proposed sensor has been designed by Drum core structure and can be applied to the all domestic overhead power lines regardless of the cross-sectional areas. Also, it is showed that results of mock environmental test are satisfied.

There are many ways to detect the heart rate non-invasively such as ECG, PPG, strain gauge, and pressure sensor. In this paper, the pulse wave measurement system using bipolar biased head on mode of the Hall sensor is proposed for measuring the radial artery pulse. TMS320F2812 was used to implement the proposed system and a portable wireless network(zig-bee) was used to show the experimental result. It was confirmed from experiment that the performance of the implemented system was more stable and faster than PPG sensor or piezoelectric film pressure sensor.

In this paper, An analysis on the intelligence system for a biped walking robot(BWR) was made and its results were applied to the BWR. Various sensors were applied to the developed BWR for autonomous and intelligent walk in unknown environments. To measure the distance between the object and BWR, ultrasonic sensor and infrared-rays sensor were used. To identity surrounding environments, vision system was used. Gyro sensor was used to control the posture of BWR. Also, piezoelectricity sensor was used to identity the pressure of foot landing on the surface. Sensors applied to the robot have measurement errors according to noises or walking environments. To improve the function of these sensors, influences of noise or sensing errors were minimized using a sensor fusion scheme. A gait test using the sensor fusion system was performed, and its results are presented.

The magnetic suspension system is used in many areas, because it has great advantages. such as no friction, no noise, no lubrication and so on, but it is a unstable system in natural. It must have a feedback control with the position is measured for a stable levitation. There are an eddy-current sensor, a capacitive sensor, an inductive sensor, and an optical sensor with a laser as the sensor which measures displacements without contact. Among them, an inductive sensor is made with lower price than others. And it has a good linearity. In this paper, a magnetic circuit leads a linear equation between an input as a displacement and an output as a voltage. Experiments establish that voltage change according to displacement is linear. This paper presents the preliminary study of an inductive position sensing for self-sensing magnetic suspension system.
