Recent research on stand-alone focused on the improvement and development of functions for solving problems such as the limited operating time of stand-alone installed at dwelling and their low reliability caused by false alarms, but it is more urgent to study on the operating range of stand-alone sensor in consideration of the impacts of combustion products on residents because the primary goal of fire safety is minimizing casualties. This study purposed to propose the optimized operating range of stand-alone sensor in consideration of the impacts of combustion products on residents. For this purpose, we made a mathematical approach to the change of temperature over the lapse of time in compartment fires similar to house fires, and established the standards of the body's response against heat and smoke based on literature review. In addition, we surveyed domestic and foreign technological standards for stand-alone sensor, and converted them to standards for residents of the body's response against heat and smoke using mathematical model equations and analyzed them comparatively.

In this study, an effective fluorescence pH sensor based on conjugated polyelectrolyte micelles (CPMs) was devised for detecting extremely acidic conditions. An amphiphilic coumarin derivative (CC12-N), a building block, was prepared, into which an ionizable amino group, aryl amine, was incorporated as a potential hydrophilic moiety. This monomer displays self-assembled micelle formation in extremely acidic pH ranges, giving a hydrophobic π-extended conjugated system at the inner part and hydrophilic functionality at the periphery, resulting in efficient fluorescence intensity enhancement. This new micelle-based fluorescence provides an efficient sensing platform for detecting very low pH values in the presence of competing substances.

In this paper, we fabricate arrayed-type flexible capacitive touch sensor using liquid metal (LM) droplets (4 mm spatial resolution). Poly-4-vinylphenol (PVP) layer is used as a dielectric layer on the electrode patterned Polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) film. Bonding tests between hydroxyl group (-OH) on the PVP film and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) are conducted in a various O2 plasma treatment conditions. Through the tests, we can confirm that non-O2 plasma treated PVP layer and O2 plasma treated PDMS can make a chemical bond. To measure dynamic range of the device, one-cell experiments are conducted and we confirmed that the fabricated device has a large dynamic range (~60 pF).

본 연구에서는 지진계 센서의 동적범위를 향상시키는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 먼저, 센서에 포함된 저주파수 대역 잡음을 ARMA(Auto Regresive Moving Average) 모델로 모델링하고 시스템 식별 방법으로 그 모델을 식별한다. 다음으로, 모델링된 잡음과 지진파 입력을 칼만필터 식에 포함하여 칼만필터에 의한 지진파입력을 추정한다. 제안한 방법을 새로이 개발된 MEMS 기반 3축 가속도 형태의 지진계에 적용하여 성능을 검증하였다. 시험 결과는 제안한 방법이 단순한 LPF(Low Pass Filter)를 사용한 경우에 비해 동적범위를 개선시킴을 보여준다.
