Biomedical mobile devices for ubiquitous healthcare consist of biomedical sensors and communication terminal. They have two types of configuration. One is the sensor-network type device using wired or wireless communication with intelligent sensors to acquire biomedical data. The other is the sensor embedded type device, where the data can be acquired directly by itself. There are many examples of sensor network type, such as, fall detection sensor, blood glucose sensor, and ECG sensors networked with commercial PDA phone and commercial phone terminal for ubiquitous healthcare. On the other hand, sensor embedded type mounts blood glucose sensor, accelerometer, and etc. on commercial phone. However, to enable true ubiquitous healthcare, motion sensing is essential, because users go around anywhere and their signals should be measured and monitored, when they are affected by the motion. Therefore, in this paper, two biomedical mobile devices with motion monitoring function were addressed. One is sensor-network type with motion monitoring function, which uses Zigbee communication to measure the ECG, PPG and acceleration. The other is sensor-embedded type with motion monitoring function, which also can measure the data and uses the built-in cellular phone network modem for remote connection. These devices are expected to be useful for ubiquitous healthcare in coming aged society in Korea.

Wireless sensor networks need middleware system for efficiently managing the constrained resource and sensing data because they need different sensing data type and protocol to communicate with heterogeneous sensor networks. Thus this paper proposes data-centric sensor middleware for heterogeneous sensor networks. The proposed middleware have to support various query processing of user applications, high-level request of users, manage heterogeneous sensor systems and universal sensing data type for node and user application.

A novel multi-layer type micro gas sensor for $NO_X$ detection was designed and fabricated. Micro platform defined as type II-1 in this article for micro gas sensor was fabricated using the MEMS technology to meet the demanding needs of lower power consumption. Nano composite materials were fabricated with nanosized tin oxide powder and $\underline{m}$ulti-$\underline{w}$all $\underline{c}$arbon $\underline{n}$ano $\underline{t}$ube (MWCNT) to improve sensitivity. We investigated characteristics of fabricated multi-layer type micro gas sensor with $NO_2$ concentration variations at constant 2.2 V. Sensitivity (S) of micro gas sensor were observed to increase from 2.9, to 7.4 and 11.2 as concentrations of $NO_2$ gases increased from 2.4 ppm, to 3.6 ppm and 4.9 ppm. When 2.4 ppm of $NO_2$ gas was applied, response time and recovery time of micro gas sensor were recorded as 101 seconds and 142 seconds, respectively.

Longitudinal strains({$varepsilon}_x$) of the core and skin layers in glass fiber reinforced plastic(GFRP) cross-ply composite laminates have been studied using the embedded optical fiber sensor of totally-reflected extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer(TR-EFPI). Foil-type strain gauges bonded on both the upper and lower surfaces were used for the measurement of the surface strains. Both TR-EFPI sensor and strain gauge bonded on the specimen surface showed excellent agreement within -0.0086 ~ +0.0302% strain. It was shown that values of {$varepsilon}_x$ in the interior of the surface layer and the core layer measured by embedded TR-EFPI sensor was significantly higher than that of the specimen surface measured by strain gauges. The experimental results were ascertained with finite element analysis. Embedded TR-EFPI optical fiber sensor could measure accurately the internal strains which were different from the surface.

As the sensors and communication technology get advance, the remote health diagnosis for patients and senior persons at home are possible now without visiting doctors in hospitals. A low-power ubiquitous health check device was developed adapting Real-Time Embedded Linux is developed. This ubiquitous device is consisted of three sensors. The wrist type health checking terminal acquires periodically the health data by using a blood pressure sensor, a pulse sensor and a body temperature sensor. It transmits the health data to the access point located at the home center through the ZigBee wireless communication modem. This health data collector or access point device sends the data again to the main server operated in a hospital or health care organization. The health server control continuously the input data and sends an alarm signal to the assigned. doctor and responsible persons using cellular SMS when any dangerous events occur. This wrist type health check device has an embedded linux OS using Intel PAX255 MPU. The developed U-Health system is applicable for checking patients health in remote at home. And their family or related persons in remote site can check the patients health status at any time. They can be assured by receiving SMS record and alarm of emergency case which is transmitted from the health server.

Polyvinylidene di-fluoride (PVDF) film sensor appeared to be practically useful for the structural health monitoring of composite materials and structures. PVDF film sensors were either attached to or embedded in the graphite/epoxy composite (CFRP) samples to detect the fatigue damage at the bondline of single-lap joints or the tensile failure of unidirectional laminates. PVDF sensors were sensitive enough to detect and determine the crack front in linear location since composites usually produce very energetic acoustic emission (AE). PVDF sensors are extremely cost-effective, as flexible as other plastic films, in low profile as thin as a few tens of microns, and have relatively wide-band response, all of which characteristics are readily utilized for the structural health monitoring of composite structures. Signals due to fatigue damage showed a characteristics of mode II (shear) type failure whereas those from fiber breakage at DEN notches showed that of mode I (tensile) type fracture.

본 논문에서는 PSC 거더 내부 긴장재의 Prestress 변화를 계측하고, 그 손실을 관리하기 위하여 PSC 거더 내부에 매립이 가능한 매립형 EM 센서를 연구 및 제작하였다. 현재까지의 PSC 내부 긴장재의 긴장력 손실관리는 시공 시 설계 긴장력 도입 여부 검증에 머물러 있으며, 시공 후에는 관리가 제대로 이루어지고 있지 않다. 이에 본 논문에서는 강자성체에 자기장이 작용하면 비투자율인 강자성체 고유의 특성이 변화한다는 탄성-자기 이론을 기초로, PSC 거더의 정착구와 쉬스관 외관의 특성을 반영하여 PSC 거더 내부에 매립이 가능한 매립형 EM 센서를 설계하여 제작하였다. 제작 후에는 그 성능을 검증하기 위하여 소형 PSC 거더 모형에 제작된 매립형 EM 센서를 설치한 후 콘크리트를 타설하였다. 양생이 종료된 후 7가닥의 PS 텐던을 삽입한 후 텐던에 200, 710, 1070, 1300kN의 긴장력을 도입하면서 매립형 EM센서를 통해 비투자율의 변화를 계측하였다. 계측 결과 도입한 긴장력이 커질수록 PS 텐던의 비투자율이 낮아지는 변화가 있음을 확인하였으며, 도입 긴장력에 따른 투자율이 도입 긴장력을 충분히 추정할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제안한 매립형 EM 센서는 PSC 교량 내부로 매립이 가능함을 확인하였으며 매립형 EM 센서를 통한 비투자율 변화 계측을 통하여 PS 텐던의 긴장력 변화를 추정할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Effect of process factors on the sensitivity of inner-type digital switching TSP was analyzed. From these results, we have successfully fabricated inner-type digital switching TSP embedded in 3.2-inch WQVGA PLS mode LCD panel. During many factors, TFT sensor structure for reducing the PI thickness and a separation distance of $0.3{\mu}m$ between the conductive column spacer (C/S) and TFT sensor were essential. Glass thickness and main C/S density were also important factors. This technology can be applied to wide angle of view hand-held phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and tablet PCs.

This paper presents an algorithmic sensor value validation technique that can systematically explore the embedded sensor redundancies in complex physical systems and maximize their utilization in validating sensor values. The confidency criteria are developed for checking the consistency of sensor relationships called Causal Relations. Development results are applied to a tubular type supercritical pressure type thermal power plant with rated operational data to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique.
