The purpose of this study is to test the adaptability of the CO sensor as a fire detector by analyzing its sensing characteristics on fire. In order to test the applicability, we designed and made a fire testing ground whose size is similar to that regulated by UL 268, carried out real fire tests suggested by UL 268, and conducted a comparison analysis on the sensing characteristics between the CO sensor and a photoelectric smoke detector by different types of fire source. The experiment result to the sensing characteristics of the CO sensor is about twice to three times faster than that of the photoelectric smoke detector, proceeding with incomplete combustion such as paper and wood fire source in the initial fire. Especially in case of wood smoldering fire, sensing characteristics of the CO sensor is very excellent.

In this research, the surface color of 'Fuji' apples and tomatoes were measured by using Sharp PD 151 semiconductor color sensors. The measurements were compared with color-difference-meter readings and with visual sensory test scores. A negative exponential function was developed which describe the relationship between the dominant wavelength of the surface color of 'Fuji' apples and the ratio of the photoelectric currents of the color sensor. Also a linear relationship was found for the surface color of tomatoes and the color sensor output. There were good correlations between the visual test scores and the color sensor output for both 'Fuji' apples and tomatoes.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated that fog alarm equipment detected to crew in maritime fog. Developed fog alarm equipment was combined sensor and a transmitter-receiver module using emitting device unit and receiver photoelectric element infrared LED using only the receive sensitivity was low, miniaturization. Experiment of the fabricated device had a standard that was humidity 70%, the fabricated one generating artificial-fog within visibility 1km. When humidity is over 70%, the fabricated one generates alarming sounds for a warning. When developed device apply to vessel will be able to respond quickly, according to dense fog in the accident.

We propose driving method of Ultraviolet sensor for fire alarms using pulse width modulation that used to fire detector with sensor of private-use detectable light energy as ultraviolet in energy of electromagnetic-wave type radiate from flame, when combustible burn with contain carbon,. Ultraviolet sensor is UV Tron using gas multiplication effect to current discharge and photoelectric effect of metal. To have high sensibility and to gain proper output voltage, it has high responsive performance. This research designed driving circuit with UV sensors and proposed method of false alarm reduced to resemble fire. the result propers the prevention and extinction of fire technique degree, certificated operation of detector.

Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) are small secondary metabolites produced by organisms that live in environments with high volumes of sunlight, is an important group of novel bioactive compounds having immense biotechnological poten-tials due to their UV screening properties and Polypyrrole (PPy) is a type of organic polymer formed by polymerization of pyrrole. A novel composite nanofilm (~60 nm) of mycosporine-like amino acid (MAA) and polypyrrole is synthesized by interfacial polymerization technique. This composite nanofilm is conductive and has strong photoresponse. A photoelectric UV sensor is fabricated by depositing the composite film onto a silicon chip. This UV sensor shows good sensitivity, selectivity and stability for UV detection.

In this paper, GaAs/AlGaAs multi-layer structure was grown by liquid phase epitaxy with graphite sliding boat, which can be used as a device structure of a photocathode image sensor. The multi-layer structure was grown on an n-type GaAs substrate in the sequence as follows: GaAs buffer layer, Zn-doped p-type AlGaAs layer as etching stop layer, Zn-doped p-type GaAs layer, and Zn-doped p-type AlGaAs layer. The Characteristics of GaAs/AlGaAs structures were analyzed by using scanning electron microscope (SEM), secondary ion mass spectrometer (SIMS) and hall measurement. The SEM images shows that the p-AlGaAs/p-GaAs/p-AlGaAs multi-layer structure was grown with a mirror-like surface on a whole ($1.25mm{\times}25mm$) substrate. The Al composition in the AlGaAs layer was approximately 80 %. Also, it was confirmed that the free carrier concentration in the p-GaAs layer can be adjusted to the range of $8{\times}10^{18}/cm^2$ by hall measurement. In the result, it is expected that the p-AlGaAs/p-GaAs/p-AlGaAs multi-layer structure grown by the LPE can be used as a device structure of a photoelectric cathode image sensor.

As low power, low cost wireless communication technology like Bluetooth, Zigbee, RFID has been put to practical use together with the wellbeing trend, the concern about ubiquitous health care has been greatly increased and u-Health is becoming one of the most important application in the sensor network field. Especially, development of the medical services to be able to cope with a state of emergency for solitary senior citizens and the aged in silver town is very meaningful itself and their needs are also expected to continuously increase with a rapid increase in an aging population. In this paper we demonstrate the feasibility of extracting accurate heart rate variability (HRV) measurements from photoelectric plethysmography(PPG) signals gathered by a ring type pulse oximeter sensor attached to the finger. For this, we made 2 types of ring sensor, that is reflective and pervious type, and developed the remote monitoring system which is able to collect HR data from ring sensor, analyze and cope with a state of emergency.

This paper is basic study for development of the photoelectric-type smoke detector that is able to distinguish fire source as well as fire detection. For this subject, Light source and sensor which is normally used for the conventional smoke detector are assembled for the optical chamber. Using 3 type of the test fires (the paper fire, the wood fire, the flammable liquid fire) this paper attempts to find optical properties of each fire. These 3 type of fire are used in the testing of smoke detector according to UL 268 standard. As the result, there are disambiguated between the paper fire and the wood fire in scattering and reason of extinction in the flammable liquid fire is different from that of the paper and the wood fire.
