The effect of sensor faults in direct torque control(DTC) based induction motor drives is analyzed and a new Instrument fault detection isolation scheme(IFDIS) is proposed. The proposed IFDIS, which operated in real-time, detects and isolates the incipient fault(s) of speed sensor and current sensors that provide the feedback information. The scheme consists of an adaptive gain scheduling observer as a residual generator and a special sequential test logic unit. The observer provides not only the estimate of stator flux, a key variable in DTC system, but also the estimates of stator current and rotor speed that are useful for fault detection. With the test logic, the IFDIS has the functionality of fault isolation that only multiple estimator based IFDIS schemes can have. Simulation results for various type of sensor faults show the detection and isolation performance of the IFDIS and the applicability of this scheme to fault tolerant control system design.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are characterized by low capacity on each nodes and links. Wireless links have high bit error rate (BER) parameter that changes frequently due to the changes on network topology, interference, etc. To guarantee reliability in an error-prone environment, a retransmission mechanism can be used. In this mechanism, the number of retransmissions is used as a parameter that controls reliability requirement level. In this paper, we propose an Error Adaptive Transport Protocol (EATP) for WSNs that updates the number of retransmissions regularly to guarantee reliability during bit error rate changes as well as to utilize energy effectively. The said algorithm uses local information, thus, it does not create overhead problem.

In this paper, We presented the algorithm for estimating a reliability between nodes in wireless distributed sensor networks (DSN). To estimate the reliability between nodes, we first modeled DSN as probability graph. Links of the graph are always reliable and the probability of node failure is independent. After all possible simple path which can be established between two nodes are examined, we perform sharp operation to remove repetition event between two nodes. Using probability for each variable of the minimized Boolean equation, we present the reliability formula.

We propose a Readout Integrated Circuit (ROIC), which applies a fixed current bias sensing method to the input stage in order to simplify the circuit structure and the infrared sensor characteristic control. For the sample-and-hold stage to display and control a signal detected by the infrared sensor using a two-dimensional (2D) focal plane array, a differential delta sampling (DDS) circuit is proposed, which effectively removes the FPN. In addition, the output characteristic is improved to have wider bandwidth and higher gain by applying a two-stage variable gain amplifier (VGA). The output characteristic of the proposed device was 23.91 mV/$^{\circ}C$, and the linearity error rate was less than 0.22%. After checking the performance of the ROIC using HSPICE simulation, the chip was manufactured and measured using the SMIC 0.35 um standard CMOS process to confirm that the simulation results from the actual design are in good agreement with the measurement results.

In this thesis, we fabricate a zero-magnetostrictive amorphous ribbon measure the impeadance effect, and then Investigate possibility as a sensor material. $Co_{72.5}$F $e_{0.5}$M $o_{2}$ $B_{15}$ S $i_{5}$ is used as composition of specimen alloy. We first melt the specimen in high frequency induction furnace and then rapidly quench it by using single roll technique. As the result, we obtain a ribbon where thickness is 12${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, width is 1mm and length is 93mm. Consequently, it is proved through this study that zero-magnetostrictive amorphous ribbon can be used as an excellent magnetic sensor material.rial.l.

무선센서네트워크 환경의 웹기반(web-based) 교량모니터링시스템을 갖추기 위하여 무선통신을 기반으로 디지털 초소형센서와 마이크로 프로세싱, 데이터 취합 및 관리를 위한 데이터베이스, 각종 제어 프로그램, 인터넷 데이터 전송 프로세서를 기본적으로 구축하여 무선으로 수신된 데이터를 수집하고 분석하였다. 그리고 이러한 교량모니터링 시스템의 적용성을 검증을 위하여 동일조건에서 유선방식과 무선방식으로 실험을 병행 수행한 후 각각의 계측결과들을 비교하였다. 비교한 결과 유선으로 계측한 결과와 무선으로 계측한 값은 유사하지만 무선센서의 통신과정에서 데이터의 손실이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 실내실험과 현장실험을 통하여 본 연구의 효율성과 적용성을 검증하였다.

수중 센서 네트워크(UWSN: Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks)는 수중 센서 노드들의 에너지 자원의 제약이 심하고, 제한된 통신 대역폭과 다양한 전파지연 등의 환경적인 특성 때문에 효율적이고 안정적인 데이터전송 방법이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 수중 센서 네트워크의 센서 노드들이 해양 바닥에 고정된 2차원 구조(2D: two-dimensional underwater wireless sensor network model)에서 이상적인 셀 크기의 육각 모자이크 구조를 이용한 향상된 하이브리드 전송 방법을 설명하고, 또한 센서 노드를 해양 바닥의 닻에 매달아 움직임이 가능한 3차원 구조(3D: three-dimensional underwater wireless sensor network model)에서 효과적인 데이터전송을 위한 에너지 효율적인 인식 및 통신범위를 확장하는 방법을 제안한다. 2D 및 3D 구조에서 제안된 방법들은 시뮬레이션 결과에 의해 기존의 전송 방법보다 높은 에너지 효율성을 가지는 것이 확인되었다.

This paper presents a wide-range speed control scheme of brushless DC (BLDC) motors based on a hall sensor with separated low- and normal-speed controllers. However, the use of the hall sensor signal is insufficient to detect motor speed in the low-speed region because of low sensor resolution and time delay. In the proposed method, a micro-stepping current control method according to the torque angle variation is presented. In this mode, the motor current frequency and rotating angle are determined by the reference speed without the actual speed fed by the hall sensor. The detected torque angle is used to adjust the current value in a limited band to control the current value in accordance with the load. The torque angle is detected exactly at the changing point of the hall sensor signal. The rotor can follow the rotating flux with the variable torque angle. In a normal speed range, the conventional vector control scheme is used to control the motor current with a PI speed controller using the hall sensor. The torque characteristics are analyzed on the basis of the back EMF and current shape. To adopt the vector control scheme, the continuous rotor position is estimated by the measured speed and hall sensor position. At the mode changing point between low and normal speed range, the proper initial current command and reference rotor position are calculated. The calculated current command can reduce the torque ripple during transient mode. The proposed method is simple but effective in extending the speed control range of a conventional BLDC motor with hall sensor without the need for a high-resolution encoder. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by various experiments on a practical BLDC motor.

A pressure sensor that mimics the sensing ability of human skin has emerged as high-profile technology because it shows remarkable applications in numerous fields such as robotics, human health monitoring, and artificial prosthetics. Whereas recent pressure sensors have achieved high sensitivity similar to that of human skin, they still show limited detection bandwidth. Moreover, once these e-skin are fabricated, their sensitivity and stiffness are fixed; therefore, they can be used for only limited applications. Our study proposes a new adaptive pressure sensor built with uniform gallium microdroplet-elastomer composite. Based on the phase transition of gallium microdroplets, the proposed sensor undergoes mode transformation, enabling it to have a higher sensitivity and wider detection bandwidth compared with those of human skin. In addition, we succeeded in extending a single adaptive pressure sensor to sensor arrays based on its high uniformity, reproducibility, and large-scale manufacturability. Finally, we designed an adaptive e-skin with the sensor array and demonstrated its applications on health monitoring tasks including blood pulse and body weight measurements.
