In this paper, we propose a method for measuring the volume of packages for the efficient handling of the packages. Using the geometrical characteristics of the rectangular parallelepiped type objects, the method measures the volume of packages with one camera only in real time. In preprocessing of volume measurement, the method extracts outer lines of the object and then crossing points of the lines as feature points or vertexes. From these cross points(-feature points-), the volume of the package is calculated. Compared to the direct feature extraction, the proposed method shows especially the blurring robust result by using the line for feature extraction. Additionally, the method can get the stable result by considering object's direction. From experimental results, it is demonstrated that this method is very effective for the real time volume measurement of the rectangular parallelepiped.

This paper suggests a modeling technique for shape and volume prediction of fishes to cut them with identical weights for group meals. The measurement and prediction of frozen fishes for group meals are very difficult because they have a bending deformation occurring at frozen stage and a hollow by eliminating the internals. Besides there exist twinkles problem of surface caused by freeze and variable weights by moisture conditions. Therefore a complex estimation algorithm is necessary to predict the shape and volume prediction of fishes exactly. Hollow prediction, pattern classification and modeling for tails using neural network, integration based volume prediction algorithm are suggested and combined to solve those problems. In order to validate the proposed method, the experiments of 3-dimensional measurement, volume prediction and fish cutting for spanish mackerel, saury, and mackerel are executed. The cutting experiments for real fish are executed.

변압기는 판토그래프를 이용하여 가선으로부터 전력을 공급받아 전력변환장치, 견인전동기 등의 각종 장치에 필요한 전원을 공급해주는 중요한 역할을 한다. 또한 전장품에서 가장 무겁고 부피가 큰 변압기는 차량의 주행 속도에 큰 영향을 미치고 변압기를 설치할 수 있는 공간상의 제약이 따르므로 소형, 경량화가 매우 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 변압기의 오일온도와 외함온도의 변화를 확인하기 위해 차량에 취부된 변압기에 온도 센서를 부착하였다. 또한 한국형 고속전철이 운행하는 동안 변압기의 온도가 기준 온도를 넘어갈 경우 차량의 치명적인 고장을 일으킬 수 있으므로 차량 내에 상시 계측시스템을 설치하여 변압기의 온도를 실시간으로 감시하고 측정하였다. 이를 통해서 변압기의 온도 변화와 열적 특성을 분석할 수 있었다.

수도계량기(이하 "수량계")는 액체용 적산부피계로 물 사용량을 적산 계량하기 위한 기계기구 또는 장치이며 수량계 검정기준에 의해 검사기준 합격제품을 사용하서 수도요금을 징수합니다. 사실상 국내계량에 관한 법률에 의거하여 전이유량비가 6.3배수(2014년) > 4.0배수(2016년) > 1.6배수(2017년)로 점점 향상되며 2017년 기준으로 국제법정계량기구(OIML)의 성능과 같은 1.6배수까지 향상되어 국내의 수량계 기술기준이 많은 부분 향상되었습니다. 그러나 국제법정계량기구(OIML)는 현재 1.6배수의 80배수까지 검사기준에 합격에 반하여 현제 국내의 검사기준은 1.6배수의 100배수까지만 합격기준을 가지고 있습니다. 이러한 기준은 점차 발전해가고 있는 후발국가에 속하는 자국의 검사기준이 너무 갑작스럽게 국제법정계량기구(OIML)의 기준보다 높은 검사기준을 시행하며 많은 문제가 발생한 것 같습니다. 위와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위하여 여러 복합적인 부품으로 이루어진 수량계의 유량 및 유속에 영향력이 있다고 보여지는 특정 부품 혹은 부위의 개선 및 개발로 해결할 수 있지 않을까 하는 의구심에 연구를 시작되었습니다. 유량 및 유속에 영향을 끼치는 유입부의 스트레이너, 내부 임펠러의 변경으로 성능검사에서 영향을 끼치는지를 유체역학 및 유동해석 등을 통하여 테스트 후 각각 단계 및 상황별 목업금형을 제작하여 현재 국내검사기준으로 진행되는 성능테스트인 기차테스트를 진행하였습니다. 먼저 수량계의 특성상 수량계 내부의 유량을 유체역학 및 유동해석으로 정확히 뽑아내는 것이 불가능하여 유입부 유출부의 유량의 흐름을 기준으로 유체역학 및 유동해석을 진행하였습니다. 테스트 후 그 결과 값으로 유입부의 스트레이너의 삽입 각도를 0°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 270°로 각각 제작하여 테스트를 진행하였으며, 내부 임펠러는 straight, SR, SL, SL R70, SL R60, R75, SR R65 형상으로 각각 제작하여 테스트를 진행하였습니다. 전반적으로 기존의 수량계보다 높은 성능을 보여주었으며, 특정 스트레이너의 삽입각도 및 임펠러의 형상에서는 기존보다 훨씬 유수율이 절감되는 결과값이 나왔습니다. 그로 인해 검사기준에 쉽게 부합할 수 있으며 물 사용량을 보다 정확히 계측하여 정확한 수도요금을 부과하여 국세 낭비로 인한 경제적 손실을 감소할 수 있을 것 같습니다.

To improve the efficiency of PDP TV, it should minimize the power losses transpired during AC-to-DC power conversion and PDP driving process. Generally the input power supply for PDP driving employes a two-stage power factor corrected converter, and it needs additional DC-to-DC converters to supply driving power for reset circuit ed sustain driver, which has high power consumption. However, such a circuit configuration has a difficulty for the PDP market requires low cost. To alleviate this problem, a new circuit composition is presented. It integrates input power supply with reset and sustain driver in a single power stack The input power supply of the proposed circuit has a single-stage structure to minimize power conversion loss, and it directly supplies power to the sustain driver so as to reduce the system size and cost.

As it is changing into aging society, rehabilitation, welfare and sports industry markets are being expanded fast. Especially, the field of vital signals interface to control welfare instruments like wheelchair, rehabilitation ones like an artificial arm and leg and general electronic ones is a new technology field in the future. Also, this technology can help not only the handicapped, the old and the weak and the rehabilitation patients but also the general public in various application field. The commercial bio-signal measurement instruments and interface systems are complicated, expensive and large-scaled. So, there are a lot of limitations for using in real life with ease. this thesis proposes a wireless transmission interface system that uses EMG(electromyogram) signals and a control module to manipulate hardware systems with portable size. We have designed a hardware module that receives the EMG signals occurring at the time of wrist movement and eliminated noises with filter and amplified the signals effectively. DSP(Digital Signal Processor) chip of TMS320F2808 which was supplied from TI company was used for converting into digital signals from measured EMG signals and digital filtering. We also have used PCA(Principal Component Analysis) technique and classified into four motions which have right, left, up and down direction. This data was transmitted by wireless module in order to display at PC monitor. As a result, the developed system obtains recognition success ratio above 85% for four different motions. If the recognition ratio will be increased with more experiments. this implemented system using EMG wrist direction signals could be used to control various hardware systems.

This research examines the drop impact of an external cooling unit package of an air conditioner system. The packaging is composed of a shock-absorbing material, which protects the package contents by absorbing the impact energy and other parts for fixture. Accurate quantification of the impact acceleration experienced by the package contents is necessary to design an effective packaging with minimal volume and sufficient shock absorbing capacity. Explicit time integration was used for the drop impact analyses. A finite element model of the package was constructed, material testing and material model selection were carried out, and sensors for data acquisition were modeled to obtain accurate simulation results. The results were compared with real physical test data. Due to imprecise modeling of the damping, the acceleration and strain values predicted by the simulation were larger than those from physical test. However, the trend of the history data and the peak deceleration value in the direction of impact showed good agreements. Thus, the analysis model and scheme are suitable for the design of an air conditioner cooling unit package.
