  • A time-coded giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) magnetic field sensor was investigated and designed. The successfully constructed and tested laboratory model demonstrated a sensitivity of 5 ${\mu}s/{\mu}T$ in the field range of $\pm200{\mu}T$. The sensing element in the form of an amorphous thin wire, 100 mm in diameter $\times50$ mm long, was fit into a small field modulation coil of 60 mm length. At a magnetic field modulation in the range of hundreds of Hz, the change in time interval of two adjacent GMI voltage peaks was linearly related to the external magnetic field to be measured. This mechanism improved the sensor linearity to better than 0.3% in the measuring range of $\pm200{\mu}T$.

  • We propose and experimentally demonstrate a method for extension of measurement range in a Brillouin optical correlation domain analysis sensor system without resolution deterioration. In the experiment, a 300 m measurement range with about 8 cm spatial resolution was successfully obtained by cascading three different kinds of fibers as a sensing element.

  • According to 2014 fire statistical yearbook in the National Fire Data System, a main cause of fire is electrical fire except carelessness fire. Joint/contact badness is the one of the main cause of electrical fire. Furthermore, power relays which are used in electric panel board, motor control center and automation controller, are main element of automation system in the industry field. Overload, voltage unbalance and open-phase due to joint/contact badness of terminal make electric accidents or electrical fires. In order to prevent joint/contact badness of terminal, this paper proposes a sensing circuit of chattering, tracking, arc current, voltage unbalance and open-phase etc. Some experimental tests of the proposed apparatus confirm practicality and validity of the theoretical results.

  • In this study, the authors evaluate the suitability of the candidate routes selected by the route selection method, which is developed by the authors, by combination of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Analytic Hierarchy Process. To evaluate the suitability of the candidate routes, from the viewpoint of the residents, we have considered element factors such as, population, household, aging situation, elevation, gradient, housing density and the Control Point. The results of this study are expected to assess the suitability of the candidate routes of the hillside transportation for the residents and examine the application limit of the route selection method.

  • Although the MEMS element is made through a very precise manufacturing process, usually there is the difference between the modeling design and the actual product. So tuning is required. Through the frequency tuning(changing the characteristics of device), we can calibrate the fabrication error and uncertainty. I'll propose the method of changing the natural frequency through the imposing the axial force on the anchor part to separate the sensing part and the tuning part. When the shape of section is the form of rectangular, the degree of the natural frequencies' change under axial force appears D be different. Applying a tuning force of 30 $\mu$N, the natural frequencies' difference can be reduced by 5 percent.

  • The purpose of this paper is to predict the situation of leak in closed space using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The existing system can't monitor the whole He situations with on/off signals. Especially the first stage of data determines the leak spot and intensity is disregarded in gas accidents. To complement these faults, a new prototype of monitoring system is proposed. Ihe system is composed of'sensing systenL data acquisition system computer, and ANN implemented in software and is capable of identifying the leak spot and intensity in closed space. The concentration of gas is measured at the 4 different places. The network has 3 layers that are composed of 4 input Processing Element (PE),24 hidden PEs, md 4 output PEs. The ANN has optimum condition through several experiments and as a consequence the recognition rate of93.75% is achieved finally

  • Fine powders of ZnO were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The shape of gel powders with calcination temperatures changed into the sheet structure, the needle shape, and the spherical grain. The growth rate of grain size was slow to 700$^{\circ}C$ but high above 700$^{\circ}C$. The bigger the grain size is, the higher the degree of crystallization is. The organic element in gel powders evaporated below 300$^{\circ}C$. Temperature dependence of conductances showed the sigmoidal shape, but the temperature range of the constant conductances narrowed with the decrement of the calcination temperature of gel powders. The optimum sensing property for CO gas were observed with the specimen calcined at 500$^{\circ}C$ and degraded with the increment of calcination temperature.

  • S The need for an automated geo-positioning approach for near real-time results and to boost cost-effectiveness has become increasingly urgent. Following this trend, a new approach to automatically compensate for the bias of the rational function model (RFM) was proposed. The core idea of this approach is to remove the bias of RFM only using tie points, which are corrected by matching with the digital elevation model (DEM) without any additional ground control points (GCPs). However, there has to be a additional evaluation according to the quality of DEM because DEM is used as a core element in this approach. To address this issue, this paper compared the quality effects of DEM in the conduct of the this approach using the Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) DEM with the spatial resolution of 90m. and the National Geographic Information Institute (NGII) DEM with the spatial resolution of 5m. One KOMPSAT-2 stereo-pair image acquired at Busan, Korea was used as experimental data. The accuracy was compared to 29 check points acquired by GPS surveying. After bias-compensation using the two DEMs, the Root Mean Square (RMS) errors were less than 6 m in all coordinate components. When SRTM DEM was used, the RMSE vector was about 11.2m. On the other hand, when NGII DEM was used, the RMSE vector was about 7.8 m. The experimental results showed that automated geo-positioning approach can be accomplished more effectively by using NGII DEM with higher resolution than SRTM DEM.

  • IoT could be applied to various areas because of the important role of sensor. The existing sensor communication method is to quickly transmit data by using clock and two data pins based on the I2C serial communication method. As the objects used are gradually light-weighted and the amount of data transmission is decreased, the simplification of hardware is more emphasized as an essential design element than the speed of transmission. This paper designed a circuit to send/receive data in series, and also realized arduino, by analyzing the existing communication method and then using a single pin for light-weight. The single pin serial communication could reduce power consumption, which is suitable for the sensor area using digital communication of IoT area.
