In Korea, fruit grading has been mainly done manually, and manual grading depends on human sense. Thus it is subjected to human error and is not always as consistent as would be desired. Therefore, a study on the development of fruit grader was initiated to improve the consistency of fruit grading. The sensitivity for fruit weight of the conventional spring type weight grader has a tendency to decrease by physical characteristics of spring which is used as a weight sensing unit. This study was carried out to develop weight measuring device for establishing the base of weight sensing unit of electronic weight grader. This device consists of a weight sensor using load cell, data acquisition system, and a microcomputer containing program to calculate fruit weight. The weight measuring device using load cell was developed to increase sensitivity of fruit weight. The result of this study showed that the weight sensing unit of electronic weight grader contributed to the improvement of performance of weight measuring device.

The Light Collision Safety Device is used to protect the important part of trains and passengers at the low velocity accidents. The Light Collision Safety Device comprises mainly tension bolts, shear bolts and an energy absorber. The work mechanism of this device is that first, the tension bolts break at designed collapse load and second, the energy absorber absorb rest collision energy. In this paper, the tension bolt characteristics were validated by the simple tension test using the FEM(Finite Element Method) and the characteristic of the two types of energy absorber were compared by using the load-displacement curves and absorbed energy. Last, in order to determine integrated load-displacement curve of tension bolts and the energy absorber, the unified analysis was conducted by using the FEM.

This paper relates to the development of a device for measuring the efficiency of a solar panel based on a variable constant current, and proposed a standard for reuse of the solar panel. By applying a variable constant current circuit to a solar panel efficiency measuring device, it was easy to apply a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm. In addition, a load dispersion method was applied to measure the efficiency of a high-capacity solar panel. and it is possible to solve a problematic thermal runaway during a MOSFET parallel operation by applying the load dispersion method. As a result of the experiment, the solar panel efficiency measuring device was able to accommodate a large solar panel of 350W, which is the maximum measurement goal. In this paper, the validity was confirmed through the 310W solar panel efficiency measurement experiment collected after removal.

The characteristics of construction work cause excessive strain on specific body parts of the construction craft workers. However, there are few tools to mane an accurate measurement of the load on the musculoskeletal system, and the musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) experienced by the workers have not been properly understood. So, there is an urgent need for development of a tool to measure the load on the musculoskeletal system. Therefore, this research aims to develop a musculoskeletal load measuring device for construction workers. In order to eliminate the noise and errors, an accelerometer, gyro sensors and the Kalman Filter are used in the device developed in this research.

Turbine Load Set Motor장치는 노후화 된 화력 발전소에서 출력 부하를 결정하는 중요한 장치로서, Motor를 가변하면서 발전 출력 부하를 조정하게 된다. 이러한 종래 발전시스템에서는 Set Up Range를 운영자가 수동으로 조작한 Set Up값에 따라 Motor를 회전시키게 되며, Motor를 포함한 내부적 동작에 의해서 발전 출력 부하 결정이 이루어지게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 수동적으로 출력부하를 작동되는 Turbine Motor Drive Unit를 대처할 수 있는 Digital Drive Unit 장치를 개발하여 기존 Turbine Load Set Motor 성능을 지닐 수 있는 장비를 구현한다. 또한 구현한 Digital Drive Unit을 바탕으로 발전 출력 부하를 결정하는 기본 기능을 기존 Motor Drive Unit과 연결하여 작동될 수 있도록 제어 알고리즘 구현과 구현된 제어 시스템을 통해 기존 Turbine Load Set Motor Drive와 연결 가능성을 확인한다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance characteristics of the counterflow exhaust heat recovery device for the applied gasoline engines. The EHRS device is installed behind the catalyst. This study investigates the engine warm-up characteristic, the exhaust noise characteristic, the back-pressure characteristic. The engine warm-up characteristics is (load 0%, load 10%, load 20%) in (idle, 1000rpm, 1500rpm, 2000rpm, 2500rpm) conditions by measuring the time it warmed up, coolant temperature ($25^{\circ}C{\sim}80^{\circ}C$) until the performance evaluation is performed. The wide open throttle and the coast down the exhaust noise and the back-pressure characteristic experiment repeated twice. The test conditions is 950rpm~6,050rpm proceed experiment repeated 3-5 times. Load 0% idle conditions except the results improved engine warm-up characteristics. The exhaust noise obtain similar results the BASE+EHRS W/O_FRT_MUFF with BASE and back-pressure to obtain similar results BASE+EHRS W/O_FRT_ MUFF with BASE+EHRS.

Device discovery for D2D (device-to-device) communication enables a device to discover other devices in order to initiate communication with them. Devices should perform the discovery phase using a small quantity of radio resource in a short time and be able to reduce the load of the base station. Legacy device discovery schemes have focused on discovering as many target devices as possible. However, it is not appropriate for peer-to-peer D2D communication scenario. Further, synchronization problems are an important issue for discovery signal transmission. This paper proposes a discovery method that one requesting device discovers a specific target for communication. Multiple antenna beamforming is employed for the synchronization between the base station and a target device. The proposal can reduce the load of the base station using the information that it already maintains and improve the reliability of the device discovery because two times of synchronizations using beamforming among the base station and devices can make the exact discovery of a target device with mobility possible.

This paper describes the calibration method and the calculation equations of expanded uncertainty for a precision electric force measuring device. The calibration of the electric force measuring device is performed three times (0 ${\circ}$(first time), $120{\circ}$(second time), $240{\circ}$(third time)) at each calibration point. It is usually selected ten points from zero load to rated load of the electric force measuring device. The expanded uncertainty is calculated by combining A type standard uncertainty and B type standard uncertainty. The calibration method and the calculation equations of expanded uncertainty can be widely used in the calibration of the precision electric force measuring device.

Since the oil crisis, we have been concerned about the energy saving techniques of electric generating systems. As a part of the effort to save energy, automatic electric load sharing device was developed. Usually, ship's electric generating system consists of two or three sets of generator. And, electric generating system is operated as single or parallel operation mode according to the demanded electric power. Therefore, it is important to investigate generators operating mode for the supply of required electric power in the ship in order to decrease the operating cost. So, this paper suggests the method to solve the optimal electric load distribution problem by dynamic programming. And, this thesis indicates that the proposed method is superior to the lagrange multiplier's method in obtaining optimal load distribution solution in the ship's electric generating system.
