Reflective and solar LED road studs are being used as a way of securing visibility for road environments. Road markers have various advantages and disadvantages in terms of versatility, efficiency, simplicity and visibility as individual products of reflective type and solar LED. However, in addition to the above, it is possible to prevent secondary accident after accident, It has a common drawback that it is difficult to have. In this paper, we propose a road stud system incorporating a wireless control function using RF - based communication with existing solar LED road studs and a system for controlling them. The proposed system is called the smart road stud system and it can control the equipment through the central control unit and the relay unit connected to the central control room by incorporating the RF communication function in the existing solar LED road stud. In addition, since it is possible to control the lighting method, color, etc. according to the road condition, it is possible to provide the driver with the state of the road to perform the function for preventing the second accident after the accident. It also adds features that minimize the ongoing power consumption of LED and RF communications. In order to verify the validity of the proposed system, prototypes were produced and it was confirmed that it is possible to act as a university for prevention of accident after accident by linking with other traffic system besides accident prevention function by securing existing visibility.

With regard to LED lighting devices which have currently been commercialized, LED operating sequences are being sold in a fixed state. In such a state, the external environmental factors are not taken into consideration as only the illumination environment application is considered. Currently, it is difficult to create an optimal lighting environment which can adapt to changes in external environmental factors in the ship. Therefore, it was concluded that there is a need to input the external environment value so that the optimal illumination value can be reflected in real time in order to adapt more organically and actively to the change of external environmental factors. In this paper, we used a microprocessor as an integrated management system for environmental data that changes in real time according to existing external environmental factors. In addition, a controller capable of lighting control of RGB LED module by combining fuzzy inference system. For this, a fuzzy control algorithm is designed and a fuzzy control system is constructed. The distance and the illuminance value from the external environment element are input to the sensor, and these values are converted to the optimum illumination value through the fuzzy control algorithm, and are expressed through the dimming control of the RGB LED module and the practical effectiveness of the fuzzy control system is confirmed.

The study uses department of the sensitivity and fuzzy reasoning, one of artificial intelligence algorithms, so that develop LED lighting system based on fuzzy reasoning for systematical control of the LED color temperature. In the area of sensitivity engineering, by considering the relation between color and emotion expressed as an adjective word, the corresponding sensitivity word can be determined, By taking into consideration the relation between the brain wave measured from the human brain and the color temperature, the preferred lesson subject can be determined. From the decision of the sensitivity word and the lesson subject, we adjust the color temperature of RGB (Red, Green, Blue) LED. In addition, by using the information of the latitude and the longitude from GPS(Global Positioning System), we can calculate the on-line moving altitude of sun. By using the sensor information of both temperature and humidity, we can calculate the discomfort index. By considering the altitude of sun as well as the value of the discomfort index, the illumination of W(white) LED and the color temperature of RGB LED can be determined. The (LED) sensitivity lighting control system is bulit up by considering the sensitivity word, the lesson subject, the altitude of sun, and the discomfort index The developed sensitivity lighting control system leads to more suitable atmosphere and also the enhancement of the efficiency of lesson subjects as well as business affairs.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of different light emitting diode (LED) irradiation on the growth of paprika (Capsicum annuum 'Cupra'). The plants were irradiated by red (660 nm), blue (460 nm) and red + blue (4 : 1) light emitting diodes above 50 cm for 5 hours after sunset. Photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) irradiated by red, blue and red + blue LED were $79{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, $75{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ and $102{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ respectively. Leaf temperature of paprika grown under blue LED irradiation was the highest of $18.6^{\circ}C$. Fruit temperature was the highest under in the control (no irradiation) but it was lower than leaf temperature. There was influence of LED irradiation on the paprika plants height; under blue irradiation the plant height was the shortest, while under in the control plant height was the highest. The leaf size of under different LED irradiation was bigger than that of in the control. Mean fruit weight under different LED irradiation was significantly increased; however number of fruits and marketable yield per plant were significantly decreased as compared to the control.

This paper proposes an IR (infrared) LED (Light Emitting Diode)-based tactile fingertip sensor that can independently measure the normal and tangential force between the hand and an object. The proposed IR LED-based tactile sensor has several advantages over other technologies, including a low price, small size, and good sensitivity. The design of the first prototype is described and some experiments are conducted to show output characteristics of the proposed sensor. Furthemore, the effectiveness of the proposed sensor is demonstrated through anti-slip control in a multifunction myoelectric hand, called the KNU Hand, which includes several novel mechanisms for improved grasping capabilities. The experimental results show that slippage was avoided by simple force control using feedback on the normal and tangential force from the proposed sensor. Thus, grasping force control was achieved without any slippage or damage to the object.

In this study, we employed Manchester code for illumination control and flicker prevention of the light-emitting diode (LED) used in a visible light communication (VLC) system. In the VLC transmitter, the duty factor of the Manchester code was utilized for illumination control; in the VLC receiver, the spike signal from an RC-high pass filter was utilized to recover the transmitted signal whilst suppressing the 120-Hz noise arising from adjacent lighting lamps. Instead of the clock being transmitted in a separate channel, a syncmark signal was transmitted in front of each data byte and used as the reference time for transforming the Manchester code to non-return-to-zero (NRZ) data in the receiver. In experiments, the LED illumination was controlled in the range of approximately 12-84% of the constant wave (CW) light via changing of the duty factor from 10% to 90%. This scheme is useful for constructing indoor wireless sensor networks using LED light that is flicker-free and presents capability for illumination control.

This paper presents an LED lighting system with an LED color control algorithm that can independently change its color temperature and illuminance. To show the validity of the proposed algorithm, it is proven that its solution always exists. The proposed algorithm was applied to the control of an LED module that is composed of red, green, blue, and white (RGBW) LEDs. Its color temperature variation ranged from 3,500~7,500[$^{\circ}K$], and its illuminance ranges from 500~1,500[lux]. Within these range, the color temperature and illuminance deviations are as low as $\pm0.8$[%] when the junction temperature of LEDs are maintained at 40[$^{\circ}C$]. In the range of 30~70[$^{\circ}C$], the measured illuminance and color temperature deviations are as low as 2.1[%] and 3.6[%], and the compensated ones are as low as 1[%] and 0.49[%], when the desired illuminance and color temperature are 1,000[lux] and 6,500[$^{\circ}K$], respectively.nyang.ac.kr).
