Recently, ubiquitous computing and sensor networks are making a rapid development. These technology can enable a new way of biomedical signal processing and healthcare. that is, they can improve care giving by a more flexible acquisition of relevant vital sign data, and by providing more convenience for patients. In this paper, we realize the biomedical sensor networks by applying IEEE 802.15.4/Zigbee networks to some various biomedical sensing unit. For address this, we developed minimized zigbee module and set-up procedure using PDA. The main advantages that we achieve are interference-free operation of different body sensor networks in the vicinity, as well as intuitive usage by the nontechnical personnel.

Recently, interest that intra-abdominal pressure has been increased as change of pathophysiology to critical patients. The intra-abdominal pressure is measured by cystometry what can be available for non-inclusively. However, conventional methods have some problems such as low SNR, weakness of environment temperature, and unsuitable size of sensor. In this paper, a new subminiature pressure sensor module and sensing system are proposed using a sensor of semiconductor type and FPCB. The module is more stable, flexible, and smaller than the conventional catheter. The performance of the developed module is evaluated by various quantitative analysis indexes. The proposed sensor has the high sensitivity and suitable size for measurement of cystometry more than the conventional method. In order to prove efficiency between conventional and proposed method, proposed method compared for sensitivity, fixable, and size. The proposed method will be help measurement of intra-abdominal pressure of patients due to high accuracy and comfortableness.

A theoretical and experimental study is presented for the force holding control of a miniature robotic ringer which is driven by a pair of piezoelectric unimorph cells. In the theoretical analysis, one finger is modeled as a flexible cantilever with a tactile force sensor at the tip and the mate of the finger is a solid beam supposed with sufficient stiffness. Further, the force sensor is modeled by a one-degree-of-freedom, mass-spring system and the output of sensor is then described by the sensor stiffness multiplied by the relative displacement. The problem investigated in this paper is that two typical holding tasks of the human finger are picked up and applied to the robotic finger. One is the work holding a stationary object with a prescribed, time-varying force and the other one is to keep the contacted force constant even if the object is in motion. The simple PID feedback control scheme is used to control the minute gripping force of order 0.01 Newton. It is shown both experimentally and theoretically that the artificial finger with the piezoelectric actuator works well in the minute force holding of the tiny object.

This paper proposes a privacy-preserving aggregation scheme based on the designed P-Gene (PAPG) for sensor networks. The P-Gene is constructed using the designed erasable data-hiding technique. In this P-Gene, each sensory data item may be hidden by the collecting sensor node, thereby protecting the privacy of this data item. Thereafter, the hidden data can be directly reported to the cluster head that aggregates the data. The aggregation result can then be recovered from the hidden data in the cluster head. The designed P-Genes can protect the privacy of each data item without additional data exchange or encryption. Given the flexible generation of the P-Genes, the proposed PAPG scheme adapts to dynamically changing reporting nodes. Apart from its favorable resistance to data loss, the extensive analyses and simulations demonstrate how the PAPG scheme efficiently preserves privacy while consuming less communication and computational overheads.

기존 산업계에서 실용화되고 있는 대부분의 이동 로봇은 자계 센서나 적외선 센서를 이용하여 작업장 바닥의 유도선 또는 광학 테이프 등으로 이루어진 고정 궤도를 따라서 운행하고 있다. 그러나 로봇의 작업환경인 사무실이나 가정에서 고정 궤도의 설치는 불가능하므로 작업 환경에 대한 보다 높은 유연성을 가진 보행 로봇의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 초음파 센서로 맵빌딩을 하였으며 초음파센서의 오차값을 적외선 센서를 이용하여 보정해 주는 방식으로 장애물을 파악할 수 있도록 하였다.

Many researchers have tried to develop the piezoelectric shell element and verified them with the benchmarking problem of the piezoelectric bimorph beam since there is no experimental result for the control of shell structure with piezoelectric sensor/actuator. In this paper, the experiments are designed and performed to verify the control Performance of piezoelectric sensor/actuator on the shell structure. PVDF is easy to be attached on the surface of a shell structure but makes weak control forces. On the contrary, PZT makes control forces large enough to control the structure, but it is not easy to make a PZT element with curvature. To use PVDF as an actuator, the structure should be designed as flexible as possible and the voltage amplifier could make high control voltage. PVDF actuator powered by a voltage amplifier that generates output voltage from -200 to +200 volts, shows little control performance to control the vibration of an arch type shell structure. The performance of sensor looks good and the negative velocity feedback control works perfectly. The actuator voltage seems to be too small to verify the control effect Quantitatively. An experiment with high voltage amplifier is scheduled to verify the control effect Quantitatively.

Sweat-based glucose sensors are being widely investigated and researched as they facilitate painless and continuous measurement. However, because the concentration of sweat glucose is almost a hundred times lower than that of blood glucose, it is important to develop electrochemical sensing electrode materials that are highly sensitive to glucose molecules for the detection of low concentrations of glucose. The preparation of a flexible and ultra-sensitive sensor for detection of sweat glucose is presented in this study. Oxygen and nitrogen are removed from the surface of a polyimide film by exposure to a CO2 laser; hence, laser-induced graphene (LIG) is formed. The fabricated LIG electrode showed favorable properties of high roughness and good stability, flexibility, and conductivity. After the laser scanning, Pt nanoparticles (PtNP) with good catalytic behavior were electrodeposited and the glucose sensor thus developed, with a LIG/PtNP hybrid electrode, exhibited a high order of sensitivity and detection limit for sweat glucose.

In this study, we fabricated a liquid light-guide-based radiation sensor with a LaBr₃:Ce scintillator for remote gamma-ray spectroscopy. We acquired the energy spectra of Cs-137 and Co-60 using the proposed sensor, estimated the energy resolutions of the full energy peaks, and compared the scintillation light output variations. The major peaks of the radionuclides were observed in each result, and the estimated energy resolutions were similar to that of a general NaI(Tl) scintillation detector without a liquid light guide. Moreover, we showed the relationships of energy resolution and analog-to-digital channel regarding the number of photoelectrons produced and confirmed the effects of light guide length on remote gamma-ray spectroscopy. The proposed sensor is expected to be utilized to perform remote gamma-ray spectroscopy for distances of 3 m or more and would find application in many fields of nuclear facilities and industry.
