AE sensor using lead-free ceramics should be developed for prohibiting environment protection. In this study, Langevin type AE sensor was manufactured as air backing structure. Here, the piezoelectic element was used as PZT(EC-65) and NKN, respectively. The resonant frequency of AE sensor using PZT was 143 kHz and the resonant frequency of AE sensor using NKN was 178 kHz. The waveform of AE sensor using NKN was responded more sensitively than that of AE sensor using PZT.

Lead, a heavy metal widely employed in various industries, continues to pose a threat to both human health and the environment. Therefore, the development of a sensor capable of rapidly and accurately detecting lead(II) ions in real-time at contaminated sites is crucial. In this study, we have engineered a fluorescent sensor with the ability to efficiently detect lead(II) ions under actual environmental conditions, including tap water and freshwater. The compound, tetraphenylethylene carboxylic acid derivative (TPE-COOH), exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity toward lead(II) ions in aqueous solution, where the interaction between TPE-COOH and lead(II) ions leads to its aggregation, thus triggering a fluorescence "turn-on" based on the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) mechanism. Impressively, compound TPE-COOH proficiently detects lead(II) ions within a range of 30 to 100 𝜇M in tap water and freshwater, even in the presence of various interfering substances.

Lead-selective PVC membrane electrodes based on newly synthesized bis(crown ether)s containing 18-crown-6 moiety was prepared using standard PVC membrane composition. In order to monitor lead in environmental samples by lead sensor, especially good selectivity over alkali and alkaline earth metals has to be obtained. Thus, responses of the PVC membrane prepared with new bis(crown ether)s and Fluka ionophore V (crown ether) base to various cations include lead, alkali and alkaline earth metal ions were investigated for their use as a lead sensor. The polymeric liquid membrane based on trans-1 8-crown-6 ether exhibits the best overall potentiometric performances as a lead-selective electrode in terms of a wide linear dynamic range (between 10-6 and 10-2 M, Pb2+), excellent detection limit (less than 10-6 M) and good durability within limited error. The preferences of lead over other cations, such as Ag+, Hg2+, Na+, Ca2+ and even K+ in the aforementioned electrode are much better than the Fluka ionophore V system.

PTEF membranes are used for roofing materials of membrane structures. PTEF is the abbreviation of Poly-tetra Fluotide-ethylene. These materials are consisted of fiberglass weave and polyetrfluoroethylene coating. Also, PTEF membranes have some problems of structural capacity by wind or snow load, etc. In this study, sensor housings using lead switches are bonding in PTFE membranes, Monitoring to changes tension and tear damages are studied using radio frequency. If tension is received on edged membranes, bonded lead switches of sensor housings will be destroyed by changes tension, and these become to send signals of damages at the connected radio frequency system with increased tension. Study of these functional membrane materials will be contributed to prevent water leakage and long-term maintenance of membrane structures.

For on-line partial discharge (PD) monitoring of rotating machines, a novel sensor is proposed, which can be installed on the power lead inside the terminal box of the machine. The sensor has been designed to have high capacitance, and minimal reflection of measured pulses. As a sensitivity of the sensor, transfer impedance $Z_t$ has been measured and compared to conventional coupler-type sensors. A simple method is presented for measuring $Z_t$ of coupler sensors, using a vector network analyzer and a practical lead-cable of rotating machine. Through this method, it became possible to measure the $Z_t$ of coupler sensors including the installation environment of them. The $Z_t$ of the proposed sensor is higher than that of same sized other conventional couplers at frequencies between 30 and 92 MHz. Another sensitivity test has been performed using a PD calibrator as a test pulse source. The proposed sensor has higher measured peak voltage than the conventional coupler type sensors when the same charges were input.

The Minimum-Norm Least-Square(MNLS) approach based on lead field theory is an useful method to find an unique inverse solution for the measured magnetic field. The lead field depends on head geometry and location of sources and sensors. So, optimization of sensor array location is important issue for MNLS estimation. In this paper, we present an investigation for the optimization of sensor array location in computer simulation.

A method to determine lead ion in aqueous media using an optical sensor loaded on a fluorescent optode membrane incoporating a metal ion-selective ionophore, a proton-selective chromoionophore and lipophilic anionic sites has been studied. The effects of pH and thickness of membrane on the fluorescence intensity were investigated. The effects of foreign ions such as $Na^+$, $K^+$, $Mn^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ on the determination of lead ion were also studied. The linear range in the calibration curve for the determination of lead ion was found to be 5.0${\times}10^-7$ to 5.0${\times}$$10^-3$M and the correlation coefficient in this range was -0.99107 under the optimal experimental conditions. The relative standard deviation of the blank signals was 3.0% and the detection limit of lead ion was 5.0${\times}$$10^-9$M.

A packaging technology based on flip-chip bonding and Pb-free solder for silicon pressure sensors on printed circuit board (PCB) is presented. First, the bump formation process was conducted by Pb-free solder. Ag-Sn-Cu solder and the pressed-screen printing method were used to fabricate solder bumps. The fabricated solder bumps had $189-223{\mu}m$ width, $120-160{\mu}m$ thickness, and 5.4-6.9 standard deviation. Also, shear tests was conducted to measure the bump shear strength by a Dage 2400 PC shear tester; the average shear strength was 74 g at 0.125 mm/s of test speed and $5{\mu}m$ shear height. Then, silicon pressure sensor packaging was implemented using the Pb-free solder and bump formation process. The characteristics of the pressure sensor were analogous to the results obtained when the pressure sensor dice are assembled and packaged using the standard wire-bonding technique.

Sensor node's mobility brings new challenges to data dissemination in large sensor networks. Frequent location updates of sensor nodes can lead to both excessive drain of sensor's limited battery supply and increased collisions in wireless transmissions. Conventional studies for routing protocols in wireless sensor networks are not enough to cover energy consumption and migration of sensor nodes. This study proposes a dynamic routing protocol based on the SPIN considering energy consumption and the migration, and also shows the effectiveness of the proposed routing protocol.
