The rigorous requirements of modern spacecraft missions necessitate a precise attitude determination strategy. This paper mainly researches that, based on three space-borne attitude sensors: 3-axis rate gyros, 3-antenna GPS receiver and star-sensor. To obtain global attitude estimation after an information fusion process, a feedback-involved Federated Kalman Filter (FKF), consisting of two subsystem Kalman filters (Gyros/GPS and Gyros/Star-sensor), is established. In these filters, the state equation is implemented according to the spacecraft's kinematic attitude model, while the residual error models of GPS and star-sensor observed attitude are utilized, to establish two observation equations, respectively. Taking the sensors' different update rates into account, these two subsystem filters are conducted under a variable step size state prediction method. To improve the fault tolerant capacity of the attitude determination system, this paper designs malfunction warning factors, based on the principle of ${\chi}^2$ residual verification. Mathematical simulation indicates that the information fusion strategy overwhelms the disadvantages of each sensor, acquiring global attitude estimation with precision at a 2-arcsecs level. Although a subsystem encounters malfunction, FKF still reaches precise and stable accuracy. In this process, malfunction warning factors advice malfunctions correctly and effectively.

Currently, potentiometric method has been employed to measure fuel amount for automobile. However, potentiometer could be malfunctioned or damaged due to the additives or dirt in fuel because a variable electric resistor is immersed in fuel. Therefore, a device employing strain sensor is designed and tested to verify the possibility as an alternative of the conventional fuel sender. Existing fuel tank has irregular cross section. Therefore, buoyancy is not increased linearly as fuel amount is increased. We design a floater that can compensate the irregular cross section of fuel tank and make buoyancy to increase linearly with increasing fuel amount. New fuel sender, comprising of strain gages on circular membrane, the above commented floater and the cover to prevent the disturbance due to sudden acceleration and deceleration, is designed and tested to replace current fuel sender. On the other hand, we are developing strain sensor that has strain gage deposited directly on the circular membrane with cantilever beam.

In this paper, we propose a scheme to prolong the lifetime of the sensor network by reducing the power consumption of the sensor node. The proposed algorithm reduces the number of transmissions and sensing at the application layer. We combine the VIS scheme with the MSZ algorithm and call it as the SZM/VIS algorithm. The actual temperature data was collected using the sensor nodes to assess the performance of the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm was implemented through the programming and was evaluated under various setting values. Experimental results show that the SZM/VIS has a slightly improved transmission ratio than that of the MSZ while has the periodic transmission capability like as the MSZ. Also the SZM/VIS can significantly reduces the sensing ratio like that of the VIS. Our algorithm has the advantages of instantaneous, simplicity, small overhead and robustness. Our algorithm has just negligible side effects by controlling the parameter properly depending on the application types. The SZM/VIS algorithm will be able to be used effectively for the applications that need to be managed within a certain range of specific properties, such like crop management.

The reset operation of a CCD image sensor was improved using charge trapping of a MOS structure to realize a loe voltage driving. A DC bias generating circuit was added to the reset structure which sets reference voltage and holds the signal charge to be detected. The generated DC bias is added to the reset pulse to give an optimized voltage margin to the reset operation, and is controlled by adjustment of the threshold voltage of a MOS transistor in the circuit. By the pulse-type stress voltage applied to the gate, the electrons and holes were injected to the gate dielectrics, and the threshold voltage could be adjusted ranging from 0.2V to 5.5V, which is suitable for controlling the incomplete reset operation due to the process variation. The charges trapped in the silicon nitride lead to the positive and negative shift of the threshold voltage, and this phenomenon is explained by Poole-Frenkel conduction and Fowler-Nordheim conduction. A CCD image sensor with $492(H){\;}{\times}{\;}510(V)$ pixels adopting this structure showed complete reset operation with the driving voltage of 3.0V. The resolution chart taken with the image sensor shows no image flow to the illumination of 30 lux, even in the driving voltage of 3.0V.

Pressure sensors are used in various industries such as automobiles, airplanes, medical equipment, and coolers. Even if the ambient temperature changes, the measurement is reliable and stable. In this study a diaphragm-type pressure sensor was used to derive a temperature-compensated pressure estimation equation for accurate pressure measurement at $100^{\circ}C$ and $-40^{\circ}C$. To understand the characteristics of the pressure sensor diaphragm with respect to temperature and pressure, experiments were conducted in temperature-variable chamber using FEM analysis to confirm that the influence of temperature effect was nonlinear. Based on the experimental results, a nonlinear method for calculating the pressure by compensating for the error due to temperature was derived. The calculated pressure value is lower than 0.5 % at low and high temperatures, and lower than 0.4 % at $22^{\circ}C$, thereby eliminating the effect of temperature.
