This study was conducted to developed to develop a simple battery-powered autonomous vehicle for greenhouse works. A steering method using speed difference of two independent driving motors was adopted. DC motor driving circuit, speed control circuit and controller using one-chip microcomputer were constructed. The inputs of controller are rolling of the vehicle and current speed of driving motors. Using these signals, automatic guidance system along furrow was developed. A computer simulation program by the kenematic analysis was developed to find out optimal control algorithm. The results of this study are as follows. 1. Automatic guidance system along the furrow that adopted two independent driving motors and rolling of vehicle was developed. 2. The results of simulation showed that PID control was adequate to automatic guidance system along furrow. 3. Two commercial 12V battery serially connected were able to drive the vehicle on the soil ground for five hours in continuous operation and for four hours in intermittent operation without recharging the battery. 4. The speed range was 0-0.7m/s and the rolling of vehicle could be controlled within $pm5^{\circ}$ range. 5. From a series of tests, developed vehicle was found to be a useful tool for greenhouse works.

The purpose of this study was to develop a computer operated automatic drip irrigation system for application in vinyl-house cultivation. The results can be summarized as follows: 1) The T-type ice compensation wire was used to measure the temperature. The voltage level measured up to 0.02 volt was used as input to an 8-bit A/D converter. 2) A specially devised tensiometer was used to content the watering system. When the needle of the pressure gauge reaches the lower threshold position it turns on the pumping system and turns off when it reaches higher threshold position. 3) In order to use the multiple gypsum blocks for one transducer, reed relays and a D/O board were used to make the sequential switching possible. 4) It was possible to automate the trickle irrigation system for the whole growth period of vinyl-house crops with the help of microcomputer. 5) In terms of furrow irrigation, the irrigation water consumption was the smallest, 2.8 times less than conventional method of surface trickle irrigation, 3.4 times less than subsurface trickle irrigation method. 6) In terms of productivity of cucumber, there was a drop in productivity when compared to furrow irrigation method, 7.2% for surface trickle irrigation, 27.4% for subsurface irrigation method.

This study was carried out to develop a system and methodology to simulate the engine load variation occuring during agricultural field operations for a laboratory engine test. The system consisted of an electric dynamometer, an Apple II microcomputer, and a data acquisition and control system. Several pieces of instruments were utilized to measure various engine performance data. Both engine torque and engine speed were fully controlled by a computer program. The dynamic characteristics of the system were analyzed through a series of tests and the limitations on the load simulation test were presented. The results of the study are summarized as follows: 1. Engine speed and toque were controlled by a computer program. The use of a stepping motor and reduction gears enabled engine speed be controlled within 1 rpm. 2. The natural frequency of the dynamometer-engine system was found to be around 5 Hz, at which the load simulation would be impossible because of resonance. 3. For the harmonic inputs with the frequencies above the natural frequency, the signal attenuated too much and therefore the load simulation was impossible. 4. The step response of the system showed an overshoot of 24.5 percent and the settling time for 5 percent criterion was around 3 seconds. 5. When actual field test data are utilized for load simulation, a low-pass filter should be included to attenuate the frequency components around and above the natural frequency.

This study was attempted to develop the eletronic-hydraulic hitch system for controlling the attitude of tractor implements and to investigate control performance of the system through experiments. Main components of the system developed in this study were reference inputs panel, inclination angle detecter, electronic controller consisted of IBM-AT PC and interfaces, electro-hydraulic directional valves and other hydraulic components and three-point hitch linkage. Experiments were carried out to investigate the response of the system to the step and sine inputs. The effects of hydraulic flow rate and dead band on control performance were analized. Attitude of the implement was controlled within 2.4-5.1 degrees to the setting attitude when the hydraulic flow rate was in the range of $0.25-1.5{\ell}/min$. And implement was controlled without rapid amplitude attenuation and phase angle change in the frequency range of 0.02-0.2Hz when the hydraulic flow rate was in the range of $0.25-1.5{\ell}/min$. Control performance of the system can be expected to be improved if the inclination angle detecter show rapid and stable output as the implement moves.

본 연구에서는 리드-온-칩 패키징 기술을 이용한 반도체 제품에서 디바이스의 패드의 위치가 온도변화로 인한 신뢰성 문제에 대단히 중요하다는 것을 보여준다. 컴퓨터를 이용한 이론적 계산 및 실험을 통해 패시베이션 파손으로 대변되는 신뢰성 문제가 디바이스의 코너 부위에 위치한 패턴에서 가장 심하게 발생할 수 있다는 것을 보여준다. 따라서, 패시베시션 파손 등으로 인한 디바이스의 신뢰성 저하를 예방하기 위해서는 취약한 패드 부위는 다바이스의 테두리 부위보다는 중앙부위에 위치하도록 설계하는 것이 바람직하다는 것을 본 연구에서는 지적하고 있다.

지구자기장 이하의 저자기장 측정에 있어서 소형이고 소비전력이 작으면서 장기적 안정성이 요구되는 분야에 flux-gate 마그네토미터를 많이 사용하고 있다. 또한 많은 저자기장 측정분야가 지구자기장의 크기측정보다는 지자장의 변화를 측정하는 경우가 많기 때문에, 본 연구에서 측정범위가 $\pm$1,000 nT, 5pT/√Hz (at 1 Hz)인 flux-gate센서를 사용 $\pm$50000 nT인 지구자기장을 순차적 근사법으로 보상한 후 지구자기장의 변화를 고감도로 측정할 수 있는 3-축의 flux-gate 마그네토미터를 개발하였다.

선풍기는 모양과 용도에 따라서 탁상선풍기, 스탠드선풍기, 환기선풍기, 천장선풍기 등이 있으며, 최신식 선풍기에는 속도조절과 회전조절이 먼 거리에서도 가능한 리모컨식과 마이크로컴퓨터를 내장하여 자동적으로 바람의 속도를 조절하여 쾌적하게 잠이 들 수 있도록 프로그램이 갖추어진 것도 있다. 일반가정이나 사무실에서 흔히 사용되는 가전제품은 전기에 대한 비전문가가 사용하는 설비이기 때문에 관리소홀이나 취급상 부주의 등에 의해 화재가 종종 발생하는 실정이다. 특히 무더운 여름철이 지속되는 요즘 선풍기는 장시간 사용하는 제품으로 모터의 과열상태가 장시간 지속될 가능성이 높다. 본 연구에서는 선풍기에서 발생할 수 있는 화재위험성에 대하여 분석하고 정상조건에서 선풍기 자체 발열특성을 분석하는 실험과 모터가 과열될 수 있는 이상조건을 구현하여 가정용 회전기기에 발생할 수 전기화재 위험성을 고찰하였다.

An ECU(Electronic Control Unit) with 16 bit microcomputer has been developed. This system includes hardware and software for more precise control on fuel injection, ignition timing, and idle speed. This control system employs an air flow sensor of the hot wire type, a direct ignition system, an idle speed control system using a solenoid valve, and a crank angle sensor. Especially, the crank angle sensor provides two separate signals: One is the position signal(POS) which indicates 180 degree pulses per revolution, and the other is the reference signla(REF) that represents each cylinder individually. The conventional engine control system requires at least two engine revolutions in order to identify the cylinder number. However, the developed engine control system can recognize the cylinder number within a quarter of an engine revolution. Therfore, the developed engine control system has been able to control fuel injection and ignition timing more quickly and accurately, Furthermore, the number of misfire reduces during the cold start.
