Purpose: As application-specific wireless sensor networks are gaining popularity, this paper discusses the development and field performance of the GHAN, a greenhouse area network system to monitor, control, and access greenhouse microenvironments. GHAN, which is an upgraded system, has many new functions. It is an intelligent wireless sensor and actuator network (WSAN) system for next-generation greenhouses, which enhances the state of the art of greenhouse automation systems and helps growers by providing them valuable information not available otherwise. Apart from providing online spatial and temporal monitoring of the greenhouse microclimate, GHAN has a modified vapor pressure deficit (VPD) fuzzy controller with an adaptive-selective mechanism that provides better control of the greenhouse crop VPD with energy optimization. Using the latest soil-matrix potential sensors, the GHAN system also ascertains when, where, and how much to irrigate and spatially manages the irrigation schedule within the greenhouse grids. Further, given the need to understand the microclimate control dynamics of a greenhouse during the crop season or a specific time, a statistical assessment tool to estimate the degree of optimality and spatial variability is proposed and implemented. Methods: Apart from the development work, the system was field-tested in a commercial greenhouse situated in the region of Punjab, India, under different outside weather conditions for a long period of time. Conclusions: Day results of the greenhouse microclimate control dynamics were recorded and analyzed, and they proved the successful operation of the system in keeping the greenhouse climate optimal and uniform most of the time, with high control performance.

In this paper, we propose an intelligent streetlight system that has a complex sensor module of temperature, humidity, luminance and motion detection and controlled by the fuzzy logic based central monitoring system in order to get flexible and precise manipulation of the streetlight system in USN environment. The proposed streetlight system provides low power consumption and high efficiency by using sensed data from the complex sensor module, which were collected, processed, and analyzed by the fuzzy logic based central monitoring system. The performance of the proposed streetlight system is to be evaluated by a simulation study in terms of power savings and safety at the fields constructed as a test-bed under several suggested scenarios. Finally, we know that the proposed intelligent streetlight system can maximize the energy savings efficiently with the fuzzy logic based central monitoring system and selective remote dimming control by connecting it to the wireless ubiquitous sensor network (USN) using a Zigbee module.

지능형 선별 관제 시스템의 잦은 오탐지로 인해 관제 요원들의 업무 능률 및 시장 신뢰도 저하 문제가 꾸준히 보고되고 있다. 오탐지 문제 개선을 위해 새 AI 모델을 개발하거나 교체하는 것은 기회비용이 크므로, 훈련 데이터 세트 품질을 향상하여 문제를 개선하는 것이 현실적이다. 그러나 소규모 조직은 데이터 세트 수집 및 정제 역량이 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 사람 자세 추정 모델을 중심으로 엣지 디바이스와 카메라 센서 퓨전을 활용한 사람 자세 데이터 자동 수집 시스템을 제안한다. 이 시스템은 네트워크 말단에서 현장 데이터를 직접 수집하고 레이블링하는 과정을 실시간으로 처리하도록 만들어, 중앙으로 집중되는 연산 부하를 분산시킨다. 또한 현장 데이터를 직접 레이블링하므로 새로운 훈련 데이터 구축에 도움을 준다.

A service robot can identify its own position relative to landmarks, the locations of which are known in advance. The main contribution of this research is that it gives various ways of making the self-localizing error smaller by referring to special landmarks which are developed as high gain reflection material and coded array associations. In this paper, the authors propose a set of indices to evaluate the accuracy of self-localizing methods using the selective reflection landmark and infrared projector, and the indices are derived from the sensitivity enhancement using 3D distortion calibration of camera. And then, the accurarcy of self-localizing a mobile robot with landmarks based on the indices is evaluated, and a rational way to minimize to reduce the computational cost of selecting the best self-localizing method. The simulation results show a high accuracy and a good performance.

In the intelligent integrated systems, the delay time must be reduced using highly parallel processors, as well as high throughput performance. In this paper, we propose a new concept for building 3D highly parallel processors using multi-layer printed wiring boards with built-in soldering heater (BISH-PWB). The proposed BISH is realized with the long and narrow cupper wiring pattern on the internal layer in the terminal pattern area. Based on the linearity of the cupper resistance vs. temperature, we can measure the BISH, temperature and its calorific value from the heater voltage and current measurements. If we provide the BISH temperature control systems for each BISH, selective multi-point soldering can be realized with same ...

Driving on irregular and inclined roads using agricultural machinery such as spraying machines or trucks in orchards causes farmer casualties associated with the overturning of agricultural machinery. In addition, the harm to agricultural workers caused by the excessive inhalation of the scattered pesticide frequently occurs during pest control processes. To address these problems, we introduced precision agricultural technology that could selectively spray pesticides only where the fruit is present by recognizing the presence or shape of the fruit in the orchard. In this paper, a 16-channel LIDAR (VLP-16) made of Velodyne was used to identify the shape of fruit trees. Solenoid valves were attached to the end parts of 12 nozzles of the orchard spraying machine for on/off control. The smart spraying machine implemented in this way was mounted on a vehicle capable of autonomous travel and performed selective control depending upon the shape of the fruit trees while traveling in the orchards. This is expected to significantly reduce the amounts of pesticides used in orchards and production costs.

최근 전자기기의 소형화, 다기능화 등으로 인한 전자부품 실장 영역의 한계치를 극복하고 플라스틱 사출물에 직접 회로를 인쇄하고 소자 및 부품을 실장하는 molded interconnect device (MID) 형태의 패키징 기법이 도입되고 있다. 다만 열 안정성이 낮은 플라스틱 사출물을 사용하는 경우, 종래의 리플로우 공정을 통한 부품 실장에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 특정 부위 혹은 소재만을 가열할 수 있는 유도가열 현상을 이용하여 플라스틱에 어떠한 열 데미지 없이 솔더를 용융시켜 실장하는 공정을 개발하였다. 가열하고자 하는 부위에 자속을 집중시킬 수 있는 유도가열용 Cu 코일 형상을 설계하고, 유한요소해석을 통해 패드부 자속 집중 및 가열 정도를 검증하였다. Polycarbonate 기판 위에 실장공정 검증을 위한 LED, capacitor, resistor, connector를 각각 유도가열을 통해 실장하고 작동여부를 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 리플로우 공법의 한계를 극복가능한 자기유도를 통한 선택적 가열 공정의 적용 가능성을 제시하였다.

Selective Laser Sintering(SLS) method is one of Rapid Prototyping(RP) technologies. It has been used to fabricate desirable part to sinter powder and stack the fabricated layer. Since the sintering process occurs using infrared laser having high thermal energy, shrinkage and curling of the fabricated part occurs according to thermal distribution. Therefore, the fast scanning path generation is necessary to eliminate the factors of quality deterioration. In case of fabricating larger size parts, the unique scanning device and scanning path generation should be considered. In this paper, the development of SLS machines being capable of large size fabrication(800${\times}$1000${\times}$800 mm, W${\times}$D${\times}$H) will be addressed. The dual laser system and the unique scanning device have been designed and built, which employ CO2 lasers and dynamic 3-axis scanners. The developed system allows scanning a larger planar surface with the desired laser spot size. Also, to generate the fast scanning paths, adaptive path generation is needed with respect to the shape of each layer, and not simply x, y scanning, but the scanning of arbitrary direction should be enabled. To evaluate the suggested method, the complex part will be used for the experiment fabrication.
