Pulse diagnosis is one of the representative diagnostic methods in Oriental medicine. In this study, a pulse pressure sensor array coated with silicone, which includes 6 piezo-resistive sensors and 1 thermistor, is fabricated for pulse measurement. It is necessary to coat the pulse sensor array with silicone to avoid the fracture or damage of pressure sensors when the sensor is in contact with the skin and a constant pressure is applied. However, the silicone coating on the pulse sensor array can cause signal interference among the sensors in the pulse sensor array. The interference number (IN), a calculation for expressing the degree of interference among channels, is changed according to the silicone thickness on the pulse sensor array. The IN is increased by a thick silicone coating, but the fabrication error, an important index for the mass production of the sensor array, is reduced by the thickness of the silicone coating. We propose that the thickness of the silicone on the pulse sensor array is an important consideration for the performance of the fabricated sensor and manufacturing repeatability.

Most sensor array signal processing methods for multiple source localization require knowledge of the correct shape of array(the correct positions of sensors that consist array), because sensor position uncertainty can severely degrade the performance of array signal processing. In particular, it is assumed that the correct positions of the sensors are known, but the known positions may not represent the true sensor positions. Various algorithms have been proposed for 2-D sensor array shape calibration in far field environment. However, they are not available in near field. In this paper, 3-D sensor array shape calibration algorithm is proposed, which is available in near field.

A sensor array (35mm'! in diaphragm dimension) of 12 sensing elements with different operating temperatures was optimized with respect to thermal operation. This sensor array with single heater on a glass diaphragm over back-etched silicon bulk realizes a novel concept of a sensor array: an way of sensor elements operated at different temperatures can yield more information than single measurement. The proposed micro sensor array could provide well-integrated way structure because it has only single heater at the center of the diaphragm and used the various sensing properties of two kinds of metal oxide layers with various operating temperatures.

Low frequency towed line array with high array gain and beam resolution is a long range surveillance sensor for anti-submarine warfare. The beam characteristics is however deteriorated due to the distorted line array sensor caused by low towing speed, wind, current, and towing ship maneuvering. An adaptive beamforming method is utilized in this paper to enhance the distorted line array beam performance by estimating and compensating the nonlinear array shape. A polynomial curve fitting in the least square sense is used to estimate the array shape iteratively with the distributed heading sensors data along the array. Real time array shape estimation and nonlinear array beam calculation is applied to a very long towed line array sensor system and the beam performance is evaluated and compared to the linear beamformer for the simulation and sea trial data.

서로 다른 동작온도를 가지는 12개의 감지막으로 구성된 고집적형 센서어레이(다이아프램의 크기가 3×5㎟가 설계되고 열동작의 관점에서 최적화되었다. 이 센서어레이는 에칭된 실리콘기판과 접합된 얇은 유리기판 위의 중앙에 하나의 히터가 위치하고 양쪽에 동작온도가 다른 감지박막이 위치하도록 설계됨으로써 개별 마이크로센서 보다 동시에 훨씬 많은 정보를 얻을 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 제안된 마이크로센서 어레이는 다이아프램의 중앙에 하나의 히터만을 가지는 구조를 하고 있기 때문에 고집적 어레이구조를 실현하면서도, 히터를 중심으로 감지박막의 동작온도에 따라 다양한 감지특정을 얻을 수 있다. 또 히터 양쪽의 감지박막의 종류를 다르게 함으로써 다이아프램위의 전 감지막이 모두 다른 감지특성을 가지게 되어 고집적 센서어레이를 구현하기 용이한 구조로 밝혀졌다.

초음파 어레이 센서의 성능은 구성 불성과 많은 구소 변수들에 의해 결정된다. 본 연구에서는 유한 요소해석을 통하여 구조적인 변화에 따른 초음파 어레이 센서의 성능변화를 해석하였다. 해석 결과를 기초로 하여 초음파 어레이 센서가 주파수 대역폭, 중심 주파수 그리고 -20 dB pulse length와 같은 요구 사항을 모두 만족시키며 최대의 감도를 가지도록 구조를 최적화하였다. 최적화 방법으로는 초음파 어레이 센서의 성능을 목적 함수로 하는 SQP-PD 방법을 사용하였다. 최적화된 초음파 어레이 센서는 의료 영상 진단에 적용되기 위한 모든 요구 조건을 만족하였으며, 본 설계 기술은 유사한 형태의 다른 배열형 초음파 센서에 응용 가능하다

In order to prevent drink-driving by detecting concentration of alcohol from driver's exhale breath, twenty chemical sensors fabricated. The one of purposes for sensor array which consists of those sensors is to discriminate between target gas(alcohol) and interference gases($CH_3CH_2OH$, CO, NOx, Toluene, and Xylene). Wilks's lambda was presented to achieve above purpose and optimal sensors were selected using the method. In this paper, step-wise sensor elimination based on Euclidean distance was investigated for selecting optimal sensors and compared with a result of Wilks's lambda method. The selectivity and sensitivity of sensor array were used for comparing performance of sensor array as a result of two methods. The data acquired from selected sensor were analyzed by pattern analysis methods, principal component analysis and Sammon's mapping to analyze cluster tendency in the low space (2D). The sensor array by stepwise sensor elimination method had a better sensitivity and selectivity compared to a result of Wilks's lambda method.

본 연구에서는 구조물이 횡방향으로 음압을 받을 경우 이를 감지하기 위하여 Fabry-Perot형 광섬유 배열 센서를 제작하고 실험하였다. 이는 한 개의 광원으로 두 개의 센서가 병렬로 연결되고 센서의 출력신호를 보기 위한 별도의 신호처리기가 필요 없는 구조이다. 횡방향 음압을 임의의 음원 주파수인 100Hz, 200Hz 및 655Hz의 주파수를 무지향성 스피커에 인가하였으며 $60cm{\times}60cm{\times}60cm$의 격자 구조물에 부착된 두 개의 배열 센서가 잡은 신호를 분석하였다. 시간 영역에서 두 개의 센서 신호는 진폭에 약간의 차이는 있으나 음원 주파수를 잘 감지함을 확인 하였다. 센서가 실제로 양단이 지지된 구조의 배열 센서를 모델링하고 그 해를 실험결과와 비교하였다. 2kHz의 음원을 배열 센서에 인가하였더니 이론 해석과 비교적 잘 일치하는 측정 결과를 얻었다.

In this paper, we proposed a post-processing technique for improving classification performance of electronic nose (E-Nose) system which may be occurred drift signals from sensor array. An adaptive radial basis function network using stochastic gradient (SG) and singular value decomposition (SVD) is applied to process signals from sensor array. Due to drift from sensor's aging and poisoning problems, the final classification results may be showed bias and fluctuations. The predicted classification results with drift are quantized to determine which identification level each class is on. To mitigate sharp fluctuations moving-averaging (MA) technique is applied to quantized identification results. Finally, quantization and some edge correction process are used to decide levels of the fluctuation-smoothed identification results. The proposed technique has been indicated that E-Nose system was shown correct odor identification results even if drift occurred in sensor array. It has been confirmed throughout the experimental works. The enhancements have produced a very robust odor identification capability which can compensate for decision errors induced from drift effects with sensor array in electronic nose system.
