The manual inspection of photovoltaic (PV) panels to meet the requirements of inspection work for large-scale PV power plants is challenging. We present a hot spot detection and positioning method to detect hot spots in batches and locate their latitudes and longitudes. First, a network based on the YOLOv3 architecture was utilized to identify hot spots. The innovation is to modify the RU_1 unit in the YOLOv3 model for hot spot detection in the far field of view and add a neural network residual unit for fusion. In addition, because of the misidentification problem in the infrared images of the solar PV panels, the DeepLab v3+ model was adopted to segment the PV panels to filter out the misidentification caused by bright spots on the ground. Finally, the latitude and longitude of the hot spot are calculated according to the geometric positioning method utilizing known information such as the drone's yaw angle, shooting height, and lens field-of-view. The experimental results indicate that the hot spot recognition rate accuracy is above 98%. When keeping the drone 25 m off the ground, the hot spot positioning error is at the decimeter level.

The hot spot stress approach is usually adopted in the fatigue design and analysis of tubular welded joints. To apply the hot spot stress approach for fatigue evaluation of long span suspension bridges, the FEM is used to determine the hot spot stress of critical fatigue location. Using the local finite element models of the Tsing Ma Bridge, typical joints are developed and the stress concentration factors are determined. As a case for study, the calculated stress concentration factor is combined with the nominal representative stress block cycle to obtain the representative hot spot stress range cycle block under traffic loading from online health monitoring system. A comparison is made between the nominal stress approach and the hot spot stress approach for fatigue life evaluation of the Tsing Ma Bridge. The comparison result shows that the nominal stress approach cannot consider the most critical stress of the fatigue damage location and the hot spot stress approach is more appropriate for fatigue evaluation.

This paper calculates the core and copper losses as heating sources of a 24MVA cast resin transformer, and analyzes the thermal distribution of the transformer to find out its hot-spot area by FEM program. Since the winding of the transformer is composed with many series and parallel circuits, the analyzing model of the winding is simplified and modelled by axi-symmetric domain. As the results, the maximum temperature is estimated by $137^{\circ}C$ in the upper part of the low-voltage winding. The maximum temperature has discrepancy of approximately $10^{\circ}C$, which is able to be considered as an acceptable error range in the design stage of power transformers. For the overall pattern of the temperature distribution is almost same as test results, the analyzing method can be a useful tool to find out a hot-spot area of the winding.

OFDMA 하향링크 시스템에서 단말의 불균등한 위치 분포와 다양한 QoS 요구사항의 변화에 따라 시스템에 끼치는 부정적인 영향을 줄이기 위한 적응적 hot-spot 운용 기법에 대해 제안하였다. 매크로셀의 기지국은 셀 내 피고셀의 운용을 조절하며, 예측된 user outage probability와 AHOS 이득 파라미터 값에 의해 피코셀을 켜고 끄게된다. 제안된 AHOS 기법은 다양한 시스템 환경에서 QoS outage probability를 유지하면서 시스템의 throughput을 최대화 시키는 이득을 보였다.

Macroscopic hot spots formed due to the large thermal gradients at the surface of the disc brake rotor, make the rotor to fail or wear out early. Thermo-elastic deformation results in contact concentration, leading to the non uniform distribution of temperature making the disc susceptible to hot spot formation. The formation of one hot spot event will predispose the system to future hot spotting at the same location. This leads to the complete thermo-elastic instability in the disc brakes; multitude parameters are responsible for the thermo elastic instability. The predominant factor is the sliding velocity and above a certain sliding velocity the instability of the brake system occurs and hot spots is formed in the surface of the disc brake. Commercial finite element package ABAQUS(R) is used to find the temperature distribution and the result is validated using Rowson's analytical model. A coupled analysis methodology is evolved for the automotive disc brake from the transient thermo-elastic contact analysis. Temperature variation is studied under different sliding speeds within the operation range.

In vertically overlaid cellular systems, a temporary traffic concentration can occur in a hot-spot area, and this adversely affects overall system capacity. In this paper, we develop an adaptive hot-spot operating scheme (AHOS) to mitigate the negative effects from the nonuniform distribution of user location and the variation in the mixture of QoS requirements in orthogonal frequency division multiple access downlink systems. Here, the base station in a macrocell can control the operation of picocells within the cell, and turns them on or off according to the system overload estimation function. In order to determine whether the set of picocells is turned on or off, we define an AHOS gain index that describes the number of subcarriers saved to the macrocell by turning a specific picocell on. For initiating the picocell OFF procedure, we utilize the changes in traffic concentration and co-channel interference to the neighboring cells. According to computer simulation, the AHOS has been proved to have maximize system throughput while maintaining a very low QoS outage probability under various system scenarios in both a single-cell and multi-cell environments.

해양환경의 시공간적 분포 패턴을 정량적으로 분석하기 위해 남해 광양만 해양환경 관측 자료를 이용하여 글로벌 및 국지적 공간자기상관 통계를 적용하였다. 연구지역 전체의 해양환경 분포 패턴을 이해하기 위해 Moran's I, General G와 같은 글로벌 공간자기상관 지수를 사용하였으며, 대상 피쳐(feature)와 이웃 피쳐들과의 유사성 정도를 측정하고 hot spot 및 cold spot을 탐지하기 위해 국지적 Moran's I ($I_i$), $G_i{^*}$와 같은 LISA(local indicators of spatial association)를 사용하였고, 공간 군집 패턴의 신뢰성은 Z-score를 통한 통계적 유의성 검증을 수행하였다. 공간 통계 결과를 통해 년 중 해양환경 공간분포 패턴의 변화를 정량적으로 알 수 있었는데, 일반 해양수질, 영양염, 클로로필 및 식물플랑크톤은 여름철에 강한 군집 패턴을 보였다. 글로벌 지수에서 강한 군집 패턴을 보였을 때 속성 값의 공간적인 변화가 심한 음적 $I_i$ 값을 가지는 전선지역이 탐지되었다. 또한, 글로벌 지수에서 임의적 패턴을 보였을 때 국지적 지수인 $G_i{^*}$에서는 좁은 지역에서 hot spot과(또는) cold spot이 탐지되었다. 따라서 글로벌 지수는 연구 지역 전체 군집 패턴의 강도와 시계열적 변화 과정 탐지에, 국지적 지수를 통해서는 hot spot과 cold spot 위치 추적에 유용함을 알 수 있었다. 해양환경 공간분포 패턴과 군집 특성을 정량화는 것은 해양환경을 보다 깊이 이해할 수 있도록 할 뿐 아니라, 패턴의 원인을 찾는데도 중요한 역할을 할 것이다.

We propose and implement a single-wire communication protocol for thermal management systems using thin film thermoelectric modules for 3D IC cooling. The proposed single-wire communication protocol connects the temperature sensors, located near hot spots, to measure the local temperature of the chip. A unique ID number identifying the location of each hot spot is assigned to each temperature sensor. The prototype chip was fabricated by a $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS MPW process, and the operation of the chip is verified.

Massive binary stars lose mass by two mechanisms: jet-driven mass loss during periods of active mass transfer and by wind-driven mass loss. Beta Lyrae is an eclipsing, semi-detached binary whose state of active mass transfer provides a unique opportunity to study how the evolution of binary systems is affected by jet-driven mass loss. Roche lobe overflow from the primary star feeds the thick accretion disk which almost completely obscures the mass-gaining star. A hot spot predicted to be on the edge of the accretion disk may be the source of beta Lyrae's bipolar outflows. I present results from spectropolarimetric data taken with the University of Wisconsin's Half-Wave Spectropolarimeter and the Flower and Cook Observatory's photoelastic modulating polarimeter instrument which have implications for our current understanding of the system's disk geometry. Using broadband polarimetric analysis, I derive new information about the structure of the disk and the presence and location of a hot spot. These results place constraints on the geometrical distribution of material in beta Lyrae and can help quantify the amount of mass lost from massive interacting binary systems during phases of mass transfer and jet-driven mass loss.
