High temperature platinum resistance thermometers(HTPRTs) were designed and fabricated using a synthetic sapphire single crystal as sensor former, insulation and protection tube, and its characteristics was investigated. Several fixed points measurement showed that the sapphire HTPRTs were satisfied with the ITS-90 criteria as the interpolating thermometer. The temperature-resistance characteristics of HTPRT was fitted to the quadratic relationship in the temperature range from $500^{\circ}C$ to $1500^{\circ}C$. The reproducibility of Cu freezing point realized using the sapphire HTPRT was ${\pm}19.2\;mK$. The insulation resistance of the HTPRT exponentially decreased as temperature increased, and showed to $63\;k{\Omega}({\sim}31.5\;mK)$ at $1500^{\circ}C$.

The electro-mechanical impedance(EMI) behavior of piezoelectric sensor embedded in cement mortar was investigated to assess the setting times. EMI signal was continuously measured for 12 hours by the PZT sensor embedded in cement mortar with different ratio of sand. As a result, the setting times by the penetration resistance test were accelerated as the sand ratio increased. However, the setting times by EMI sensing technique were delayed as the sand ratio increased.

The mutually reactive copolymers poly[(vinylbenzyl chloride)-co-(n-butyl acrylate)-co-(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)] and poly[(4-vinylpyridine)-co-(n-butyl acrylate)-co-(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)] were synthesized for the humidity sensitive material by forming simultaneous quaternization. The humidity sensor showed an average resistance of 8.6 M$\Omega$, 310 k$\Omega$ and 12 k$\Omega$ at 30%RH, 60%RH and 90%RH, respectively. The hysteresis and temperature coefficient were $\pm$3%RH and -0.37~-0.40%RH/$^{\circ}C$. The introduction of n-BA and HEMA increased the resistance of the humidity sensor however it enhanced the adherence to the alumina substrate. The response time was 54 seconds changing from 33%RH to 85%RH and the difference of resistance was +0.2%RH after soaking in water for 2 hr.

As the measurement of strain-gage type cone penetrometer is influenced by the temperature change during penetration, the temperature is a factor producing an error of the cone tip resistance. In this study, the 0.5 mm diameter temperature transducer and 7 mm diameter micro cone penetrometer are manufactured by using FBG sensors to evaluate the effect of temperature on the cone tip resistance. Design concepts include the cone configuration, sensor installation and the temperature compensation process. The test shows that the tip resistance measured by strain gauge is affected by the temperature change. The error of the tip resistance increases with an increase in temperature change, while the temperature effect on the tip resistance of FBG cone is effectively compensated by using FBG temperature transducer. Temperature compensated tip resistance of the strain gauge cone shows the good matched profile with FBG cone which performs real-time temperature compensation during penetration. This study demonstrates that the temperature compensation by using FBG sensor is an effective method to produce the more reliable cone tip resistance.

In this paper we present the construction details and output characteristics of a diaphragm-type pressure sensor with Cu-Ni(53:47) thin-film strain gauges. In order to improve the sensitivity and the temperature compensation two circumferential gauges are placed near the center of the diaphragm and two radial gauges are located near the edge. For all the gauges the relative change in resistance ΔR/R with pressure is of the order 10$^{-3}$ for the maximum pressure. The output is found to be linear over the entire pressure range(0-30kfg/cm$^2$)and the output sensitivity obtained is 1.6mV/V. The maximum nonlinearity observed in output characteristics is 0.35%FS for 5V excitation and the hysteresis is less than 0.1%FS.

The WO3 thin-film NOx sensor which is of practical use and includes the heater and the temperature sensor was fabricated. The WO3 thin films as a gas-sensing layer was deposited at ambient temperature in a high-vacuum resistance heated evaporator. The highest sensitivity of the WO3 thin-film sensor to NOx was obtained under the condition of the annealing temperature of 50$0^{\circ}C$ and the operating temperature of 30$0^{\circ}C$. The gas sensing characteristics of this sensor was excellent, i.e. high sensitivity (Rgas/Rair in 3 ppm NO2=53) and fast response time (4 seconds).

This paper presents an inkjet-printed plastic force sensor using PEDOT:PSS. Using a piezoelectric-type inkjet printer, the force sensor was manufactured by printing PEDOT:PSS ink onto a polyimide (PI) substrate film. Applying a vertical force of 0 to 100 N to the force sensor on the PI substrate with a thickness of 64 mm, the resistance of the force sensor increased in proportion to the input force by the length deformation of the PI substrates and the sensor pattern. As a result, the fabricated sensor has a characteristic of 0.001% /N with a linearity of 99.38%. In addition, as the thickness of the PI substrate film increased, the sensitivity of the sensor increased linearly. The fabricated force sensor is expected to be applied to industrial sites and healthcare fields.

The main sensor of AGV is the guide sensor in order to detect the path, and the sensor consists of 8 or 16-magneto resistance devices arranged by with 10mm. In controlling the AGV posture by using the sensor, AGV is occurred left/right shaking frequently. So, for driving stability of AGV, An accuracy of the sensor should be improved. Therefore, this study proposed sensor signal processing method to improve accuracy of guide sensor, and implemented. The accuracy of sensor in experimentation showed 2.84[mm]. In designing the sensor for controlling AGV posture, the proposed method will be effective.

The magnetic bio-sensor used the PHR (planar hall resistance) effect generated by the free layer in spin-valve giant magnetoresistance structure of Ta/NiFe/CoFe/Cu/NiFe/IrMn/Ta. The PHR element with micrometer size was fabricated through the photolithograph and dry etching process. The PHR signal with magnetic field was measured under the conditions of with and without single magnetic bead. A single magnetic bead of diameter $2.8\;{\mu}m$ was successfully detected using the PHR sensor. Therefore, the high resolution PHR sensor can be applied to bio-sensor application utilizing the output voltage variation of the PHR signals in the presence and absence of a single magnetic bead.
