This paper presents a respiration measurement sleeping pillow based on pressure sensors. The respiration measurement sleeping pillow system consists of a sleeping pillow, an interface circuit, a respiration measurement system, and four force-sensitive resistor(FSR) sensors attached at the bottom of the sleeping pillow. The FSR sensors are used to detect the respiration signals induced by the body movement while breathing. The respiration signals of a twenty health man were measured and analyzed by utilizing the respiration measurement sleeping pillow system. The pillow system could detect the respiration signals and had similar characteristics to the chest type BIOPAC respiration sensor used by medical doctors. The respiration rates of ten subjects were also measured. The average measurement accuracy was about 98.8%. The research results showed that this pillow system can be used to detect and analyze the respiration signal when sleeping for the better sleep management.

In this paper, we focus on optimization of the in-situ phosphorous (P) doping of low-pressure chemical vapor deposited (LPCVD) poly Si resistors for obtaining near-zero temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) at temperature range from 25 to $600^{\circ}C$. The deposited poly Si films were annealed by rapid thermal anneal (RTA) process at the temperature range from 900 to $1000^{\circ}C$ for 90s in nitrogen ambient to relieve intrinsic stress and decrease the TCR in the poly Si layer and get the Ohmic contact. After the RTA process, a roughness of the thin film was slightly changed but the grain size and crystallinity of the thin film with the increase in anneal temperature. The film annealed at $1,000^{\circ}C$ showed the behavior of Schottky contact and had dislocations in the films. Ohmic contact and TCR of $334.4{\pm}8.2$ (ppm/K) within 4 inch wafer were obtained in the measuring temperature range of 25 to $600^{\circ}C$ for the optimized 200 nm thick-poly Si film with width/length of $20{\mu}m/1,800{\mu}m$. This shows the potential of in-situ P doped LPCVD poly Si as a resistor for pressure sensor in harsh environment applications.

Purpose: This study evaluated the features of a pressure mapping system for patient motion monitoring in radiation therapy. Methods: The pressure mapping system includes an MS 9802 force sensing resistor (FSR) sensor with 2,304 force sensing nodes using 48 columns and 48 rows, controller, and control PC (personal computer). Radiation beam attenuation caused by pressure mapping sensor and signal perturbation by 6 and 10 mega voltage (MV) photon beam was evaluated. The maximum relative pressure value (mRPV), average relative pressure value (aRPV), the center of pressure (COP), and area of pressure distribution were obtained with/without radiation using the upper body of an anthropomorphic phantom for 30 minutes with 15 MV. Results: It was confirmed that the differences in attenuation induced by the FSR sensor for 6 and 10 MV photon beams were small. The differences in mRPV, aRPV, area of pressure distribution with/without radiation are about 0.6%, 1.2%, and 0.5%, respectively. The COP values with/without radiation were also similar. Conclusions: The characteristics of a pressure mapping system during radiation treatment were evaluated on the basis of attenuation and signal perturbation using radiation. The pressure distribution measured using the FSR sensor with little attenuation and signal perturbation by the MV photon beam would be helpful for patient motion monitoring.

이족 보행 로봇을 실생활에 적용하기 위해서는 다양한 환경에서의 강인한 보행 뿐만 아니라, 현재 위치를 인식하여 목표 위치로의 경로를 생성하고, 경로를 추종하는 기능이 요구된다. 최근에 많이 사용되고 있는 RFID는 이동 로봇의 위치인식 및 경로 생성에 손쉽게 활용이 가능하다. 그러나 이족 로봇은 보행시에 불안정성을 내포하고 있어 주어진 경로에서 벗어나기 쉽다. 본 논문에서는 FSR(Force Sensing Resistor)센서, 자이로와 가속도 센서를 이용하여 이족 보행 로봇의 보행 안정화 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 양발에 RFID 센서를 장착하여 이족 보행 로봇의 위치 인식 후 경로를 추종하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 보행 안정화 알고리즘은 실제 제작된 이족 보행 로봇을 이용하여 비평탄 지형에서 실험하여 검증하였으며, 경로 추종 실험은 RFID센서를 로봇의 발바닥에 장착하여 평탄 지형에서 보행실험을 통해 검증하였다.

The current-voltage characteristics at SrO${\cdot}6Fe_{2}O_{3}$ electronic ceramics interfaces have been studied using cyclic voltammetric methods. The symmetrical and stable cyclic voltammograms, which indicate the same anodic and cathodic process, are obtained on the whole experiments. The approximate saturation current is 50$\mu$A but the value depends on the experimental processes of the electrode specimens. The current-voltage characteristics of SrO${\cdot}6Fe_{2}O_{3}$ electronic ceramics in dilute aqueous electrolytes or double deionized water are determined by the water adsorption process and the interconnected porosity effect. On the other hand, the current-voltage characteristics in relatively concentrate aqueous electrolytes are determined by the ionic adsorption process and the related electrical double layers. The SrO${\cdot}6Fe_{2}O_{3}$ electronic ceramics can be directly used as an electrochemically stabled resistor, electrode or a humidity sensor.

We spend about 40% of lifte time on a bed and seek how such amount of time is spent comfort. Bed comfort has been pursuited. The pressure distributions on a bed by body pressure has been considered as one of the most important factors of bed comfort. This study is to quantify the subjective assessment by the body pressure distribution and develop the objective evaluation method of bed comfort. A new measurement system for body pressure on a bed was developed in this study. The thin film pressure sensor (FSR: Force Sensing Resistor) of an elastomer-type was used to prevent the distortion of contact pressure. The pressure distribution is measured by FSR and displayed on the monitor by color-coded contour patterns. Some of the bed test results were described. And the relations between body pressure distribution and bed comfort were evaluated.

반도체 및 전자공업의 급속한 발달에 힘입어 압력센서가 소형, 경량, 대량 생산화됨으로써 의료용으로의 사용이 최근 급속히 늘고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 현재 가장 활발히 개발되고 있는 압저항형 압력 센서의 원리인 압저항 효과에 대해 이론적인 분석을 상세히 소개하였다. 그리고 기존에 많이 소개된 바 있는 정사각형 모양의 박막모서리 중앙 부분에 위치한 압저항체의 설계 보다 직사각형 박막 중심에 위치한 압저항체의 설계가 우수한 특성을 보일 수 있는 이론적 근거를 설명한다.

기존의 상용화된 인체공학적 자세교정 의자나 의학적 치료 솔루션은 상대적으로 고가이며 사용자친화적인 접근성을 제공하기 어려웠다. 본 논문에서는 이 문제점을 해결하기 위해 소형 방석에 압력 센서를 접목하고 사용자에게 교정 상태를 상기시키는 시스템을 연구하고 이를 더 사용자 접근성이 좋은 방식을 고안하고자 한다. PushBullet[1] API를 사용하여 Non-Client Application 중심의 Multi-Device 기반 Push notification 기능을 연구하고 이와 기존의 바른 앉은 자세를 유지하는 자세교정 시스템을 결합한 방식을 제안한다.

Many analytical and experimental studies on the active suppression of nonlinear panel flutter by using piezoceramic patch have been carried out. However, these active control methods have a few important problems; a large amount of power is required to operate actuators, and additional apparatuses such as sensor systems and controller are needed. In this study passive suppression schemes for nonlinear flutter of composite panel, which is believed to be more robust suppression system than active control in practical operation, are proposed by using piezoelectric inductor-resistor series shunt circuit. Toward the end, a finite element equation of motion for an electromechanically coupled system is proposed using the Hamilton's principle. To achieve the best damping effect, optimal shape and location of the piezoceramic(PZT) patches are determined by using genetic algorithms. The results clearly demonstrate that the passive damping scheme by using piezoelectric shunt circuit can effectively attenuate the flutter.

본 연구는 다양한 환경에서의 인간형 로봇의 안정적인 보행을 하기위한 FSR (Force Sensing Resistor) 센서 기반의 보행패턴에 관한 전체 시스템의 설계와 이의 모의실험이다. 인간형 로봇의 안정적인 보행을 구현하기 위해서는 보행 패턴의 ZMP(Zero Moment Point) 궤적이 안정 영역 내에 위치하게 하여야 하고, 실제 보행 중에도 외부의 환경적인 요인과 내부의 제어 오차에 따라 보행패턴의 수정과 보완이 요구된다. 이에 FSR 센서를 적용하여 전체 인간형 로봇의 보행 시스템을 설계하고 안정적인 다양한 보행을 구현하기 위한 보행패턴을 제안한다. 이를 모의실험을 통해 평지, 계단, 경사면에 따른 보행 안정성을 검증한다. 차후 이러한 모의실험 결과를 보완하여 FSR 센서를 실제 인간형 로봇에 장착하고 실험하여 안정적인 보행을 구현할 계획이다.
