Methods of discharging each graded agricultural product are divided into two according to the type of feeding. One is based on feeding objects using a series of specially designed holders mounted with an equal interval. The other is randomly feeding objects while being isolated without a specific interval. In this paper, a real time simultaneous discharge algorithm, which is good for objects randomly fed individually and for multi-objects located along a series of discharge buckets, was developed. And the developed algorithm was implemented to the controller and the performance was verified using the system developed for dried mushrooms. The discharge system used for the experiment was composed of a variable speed conveyor, a series of double channel bucket mounted along both sides of the conveyor, and a series of air nozzles and optic sensors. Developed algorithm worked perfectly and could be directly used for automatic discharge system for randomly feeding agricultural products.

We present a design study for a remote sensing camera system which can be operated in multi-channel mode simultaneously with several bandpass filters. The camera control electronics is based on the multiplexed driving concept, which can provide a variety of flexibility for system control parameters and its individual optimisation. The design can also be applied to any system with linear sensors or frame sensors according to its functional requirements. The system design parameters have been examined, including modification of driving waveforms for different types of sensors, waveforms for low-nosie readout circuit in analog chain, and synchronisation with other signal processing.

We have proposed an application of disturbance observer with PID controller to minimize gain-transient time of wavelength-division-multiplexing(WDM) multi channels in optical amplifier in channel add/drop networks. We have dramatically reduced the gain-transient time to less than $3{\mu}sec$ by applying a disturbance observer with a proportional/integral/ differential(PID) controller to the control of amplifier gain. The theoretical analysis on the 3-level erbium-doped fiber laser and the disturbance observer technique is demonstrated by performing the simulation with co-simulation of the $MATLAB^{TM}$ and a numerical modeling software package such as the $Optsim^{TM}$.

Objective: The objective of this study was to suggest a multi-modal controller type for Smart TV Control. Background: Recently, many issues regarding the Smart TV are arising due to the rising complexity of features in a Smart TV. One of the specific issues involves what type of controller must be utilized in order to perform regulated tasks. This study examines the ongoing trend of the controller. Method: The selected participants had experiences with the Smart TV and were 20 to 30 years of age. A pre-survey determined the first independent variable of five tasks(Live TV, Record, Share, Web, App Store). The second independent variable was the type of controllers(Conventional, Mouse, Voice-Based Remote Controllers). The dependent variables were preference, task completion time, and error rate. The experiment consist a series of three experiments. The first experiment utilized a uni-modal Controller for tasks; the second experiment utilized a dual-modal Controller, while the third experiment utilized a triple-modal Controller. Results: The first experiment revealed that the uni-modal Controller (Conventional, Voice Controller) showed the best results for the Live TV task. The second experiment revealed that the dual-modal Controller(Conventional-Voice, Conventional-Mouse combinations) showed the best results for the Share, Web, App Store tasks. The third experiment revealed that the triple-modal Controller among all the level had not effective compared with dual-modal Controller. Conclusion: In order to control simple tasks in a smart TV, our results showed that a uni-modal Controller was more effective than a dual-modal controller. However, the control of complex tasks was better suited to the dual-modal Controller. User preference for a controller differs according the Smart TV functions. For instance, there was a high user preference for the uni-Controller for simple functions while high user preference appeared for Dual-Controllers when the task was complex. Additionally, in accordance with task characteristics, there was a high user preference for the Voice Controller for channel and volume adjustment. Furthermore, there was a high user preference for the Conventional Controller for menu selection. In situations where the user had to input text, the Voice Controller had the highest preference among users while the Mouse Type, Voice Controller had the highest user preference for performing a search or selecting items on the menu. Application: The results of this study may be utilized in the design of a controller which can effectively carry out the various tasks of the Smart TV.

채널 레벨 컨트롤러는 DWDM(Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) 방식의 OXC(Optical Cross Connect), OADM(Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer), 광 증폭기(EDFA : Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier) 등의 시스템에서 채널별 광 신호의 세기를 조절하여 시스템의 신뢰성을 높이는 중요한 제어기다. 본 논문에서는 12채널 VOA(Variable Optical Attenuator) 4개를 사용하여 40채널의 광 신호 레벨을 제어할 수 있는 컨트롤러를 구현하였다. 각 채널의 광 신호 레벨을 제어하는데 하나의 마이크로프로세서가 5개의 채널을 제어하고 총 8개의 마이크로프로세서로 40채널을 분산 제어하도록 구성하였다. 또한 외부와 통신을 하고 사용자로부터의 명령을 각각의 마이크로프로세서에 전달하기 위한 마이크로프로세서를 추가하였다. 출력 되는 광 신호의 세기를 측정하여 VOA를 제어하고 VOA 출력에서 바로 PD(Photo Detector)로 입력하였다. 일반적으로는 AWG(Arrayed Waveguide Grating) 출력에서 광 신호를 다시 분파하여 PD에 입력하는 방법으로 매우 복잡하다. 본 연구는 이를 개선하여 매우 간단한 방법으로 다 채널의 광 신호를 제어 할 수 있었다.

The vacuum gauge control system has been designed and implemented using multi-serial communication controllers (MSCC) for the 2.5 Gev storage ring at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL). There are 20 Balzers vacuum gauges and 17 Granville-Phillips vacuum gauges at the storage ring. A MSCC have two RS485 (max speed 460.8Kbps) field network port, 8 channel serial communication ports (max speed 460.8Kbps) connected to gauge controller for serial communication control. 12 MSCCs are connected to a personal computer (PC) through the RS485 field network. The PC can automatically control the MSCCs by sending set of commands through the network. The commands specify the duration of the MODBUS protocol. Upon receiving a command from a PC running under Windows2000 through the network, the MSCC communicate through the serial output ports to gauge controller. In this paper, we describe control structure and scheme of the vacuum gauge control system.

This paper describes the multichannel combined R2MFC/DTMF/CCT reciver which provides a signaling service functions for call processing control in digital switching system. Using the TMS320C25 DSP chip, we have implemented multi-function receriver shich processes 8 channels of R2MFC, DTMF, and CCT signals simultaneously. In order to increase the channel multiplicity of the combined receiver. R2MFC and CCT receiver were employed by discrete Fourier transform(DFT) method using Goertzel algorithm, and DTMFreceiver was employ by infinite impulse reponse(IIR) filtering method using 4KHz subsampling technique. The combined receiver has 4 function modes for each channel such as R2MFC, DTMF, CCT, and Idle modes. The function mode of each channel may be selected at any time by single-chip micro-controller(.mu.C). Hence, the number of channels assigned for each function mode can be adjusted dynamically according to the signaling traffic variations. From the experimental test results using the test-bed, it has been proved that the combined receiver statisfies all receiver satisfies all receiver specifications, and provides good channel multiplicity and performance, Therefore, it may give a great improvement than existing receiver in cost, reliability, availability, and serviceability.
