본 논문은 태양광 혹은 인공광이 존재하는 외부 환경에서 광필터를 적용한 실험적 실외 광무선 데이터 통신 시스템을 제안한다. 광잡음의 효과적인 차단을 위해 마이크로루버 필름을 사용한 광필터를 광다이오드에 직접 적용하였으며 잡음광이 광다이오드에 정면으로 입사하지 않는다는 가정하에 입사각 30도를 초과하는 잡음광을 차단하도록 설계하였다. 제안하는 시스템을 낮시간 실외에서 데이터 전송을 통해 검증하였는데 지정한 입사각 혹은 그 이상의 입사 잡음광에 대해 거의 완벽하게 차단할 수 있었으며 전송된 패킷데이터의 90%이상을 성공적으로 수신하였다. 본 제안 시스템은 향후 실외 자유공간 광무선 데이터 전송에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 자기 홀 센서의 특성으로 인해 실내 환경에서만 이용이 되었던 자기/자기-자이로유도 타입의 무인운반차를 실외 환경에서도 적용이 가능하도록 실외 주행용 자기 위치측정 장치를 설계 및 제작하는 것이다. 현재 이용되고 있는 자기 위치측정 장치는 측정 높이가 30mm로 바닥 환경이 고르고 평평한 실내 환경에 적합한 구조이다. 하지만 바닥 환경이 울퉁불퉁하거나 불균형적인 실외환경에 이용되는 무인운반차에는 부적합하다. 그 이유는 무인운반차 서스펜션이 부착되게 되고, 이 때 자기 위치측정 장치의 부착높이가 30mm 이하로 무인운반차에 가해진 충격으로 인해 장치와 바닥과의 충돌이 발생하게 되면 장치가 파손되기 때문이다. 따라서 실외 자기유도 무인운반차에 적용하기 위해서는 100mm 이상의 측정 높이를 가지는 자기 위치측정 장치가 필요하다. 현재 자기위치측정 장치의 성능 향상 및 개발에 관련된 다양한 연구들이 진행되었지만, 다양한 자기 홀 센서를 분석하여 본 논문에서는 자기위치측정 장치를 설계 및 제작하였고, 자기 홀 센서의 특성 정보를 이용한 특성 함수를 이용해 자성체의 위치를 검출하였다. 실험을 위하여 알루미늄을 이용한 실험 장비를 제작하였으며, 제안된 자기 위치측정 장치를 이용하여 실험한 결과 위치측정 정밀도 오차는 10mm 이하이고, 측정 높이는 평균 150mm 로 실외 자기유도 무인운반차에 적합한 것을 확인하였다.

Unlike other types of outdoor advertisements, rooftop signboards are installed on the roofs of buildings, rather than on their outer walls. This means that the area of a rooftop signboard is commonly larger than that of a general outdoor signboard. Moreover, as such signboards are greatly influenced by the wind, they can suffer a lot of damage from typhoons and strong winds every year. However, there is no wind load specification for rooftop signboards. In this study, wind pressure experiments were conducted to investigate the peak wind pressure on each side of rooftop signboards installed on the roofs of 5-15 story buildings in a city center. The minimum peak wind pressure coefficient was -3.0 at the bottom edges of the front and back of the rooftop signboards and -2.0 along the entire length of the sides. As the height of the rooftop signboard increased with the increasing height of the buildings, the peak value was found to be larger than the absolute peak value for the minimum peak wind pressure coefficient. The maximum and minimum peak wind pressure distributions of the rooftop outdoor signboards were influenced by the position of the signboard and the wind angle.

A steady-state simulation model for Dual-Source Heat Pump(DSHP) of 8RT was presented. A Dual-Source Heat Pump(DSHP) has been designed to make up for the conventional air source heat pumps. The performance evaluation has been conducted under internal standard test conditions such as ISO-13256-1 and KS C 9306. However, as test conditions such as entering water, indoor and outdoor air conditions could not be controlled to satisfy the standard test conditions in outdoor tests, a series of experiments have been conducted with the actual test conditions. Then, computer models for DSHP could be used for the standard condition have developed using EES program. The model was developed from basic thermodynamic principles and heat transfer relations. Most of the parameters were obtained with EES from the actual catalog data. The simulation results were in good agreement with the experiments.

This paper proposes a method for predicting maximum friction coefficients and optimal slip ratios as optimal control parameters for traction control or slip control of autonomous mobile robots on rough terrain. This paper focuses on strength of ground surface which indicates different characteristics depending on material types on surface. Strength of various material types can be estimated by Willoughby sinkage model and by a developed testbed which can measure forces, velocities, and displacements generated by wheel-terrain interaction. Estimated strength is collaborated on building improved Brixius model with friction-slip data from experiments with the testbed over sand and grass material. Improved Brixius model covers widespread material types in outdoor environments on predicting friction-slip characteristics depending on strength of ground surface. Thus, a prediction model for obtaining optimal control parameters is derived by partial differentiation of the improved Brixius model with respect to slip. This prediction model can be applied to autonomous mobile robots and finally gives secure maneuverability on rough terrain. Proposed method is verified by various experiments under similar conditions with the ones for real outdoor robots.

본 연구에서는 현재 상업용으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 멀티시스템형 에어컨실외기의 화재 위험성을 평가하기 위하여 에어컨실외기의 실물 연소실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 에어컨실외기는 내부 폭발과 상부 배출 그릴을 통한 급격한 화염분출 및 화재확산을 보였으며, 이는 실외기 내부에 내장된 전선, 전자 제어판, 열교환용 동판 및 합성수지류 등의 가연물이 연소하고 냉매가스가 충전된 배관이 가열로 인해 파괴되어 냉매가스가 분출되면서 화재폭발과 외부로 화염분출을 가속시켜 일어난 것이다. 본 실험에서 에어컨실외기의 최고 열방출율은 5,830 kW로 나타났으며, 열화상 카메라 및 열전대에 의해 측정된 실외기의 내부 온도는 최고 $1,201^{\circ}C$이고, 외부온도는 최고 $881^{\circ}C$ 이상, 화염의 길이는 약 5 m 이상 상승하였다. 그러므로 에어컨실외기의 화재는 주변 가연물을 발화시키는 원인으로 작용하여 건축물에 2차 화재를 발생시킴으로써 큰 피해를 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 실물실험에서 얻어낸 결과는 향후 컴퓨터시뮬레이션에서 에어컨실외기의 화재구현 및 주변 가연물로의 화재 확산 예측에 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mount of relief of human solar heat load and thermal comfort in outdoor environment in summer, Six different types of sites, T garden and its neighboring area in Japan, were selected as the experiment sites. The experiments were conducted from 22 to 29 August, 1994 to find the relationship between climatic conditions and human responses, Climatic conditions, subjects's thermal sensation and skin temperature were measured. Radiant heat exchange on the human body was estimated on the basis of the measured air and surface temperature and solar radiation. Thermal index Operative Temperature and New Effective Temperature was modified with the effect of the radiant heat exchange. Human thermal comfort and skin temperature is affected by the solar radiation and the sky factor in an outdoor environment. The effect of tree shade was verified on thermal comfort, The mount of relief of human solar heat load is relation to the existence of shade a solar radiation and the sky factor. The urban garden is one of the effective design element in an urban environmental planning.

To elucidate possible challenges for outdoor practical use of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs), we compared conventional Si solar cells with DSCs. DSC modules still require a larger area than conventional Si solar modules to attain the same rated output because of lower photoelectron-chemical conversion efficiency. However, in backup systems by using batteries, the measured data shows that DSCs generated 15% more electricity than Si solar cells of the same rated output power in the same interval of cloudy daylight. Moreover, the battery charging time of DSCs is about 1 hour faster than the same rate of Si solar cells under outdoor cloudy daylight. This result also indicates that conversion efficiency obtained by the certified condition less than AM 1.5 condition does not always coincide with the electricity generated outdoors daily, and it is not a crucial measure to evaluate the performance of solar cells.

A robust position sensing system is proposed in this paper for a ubiquitous mobile robot which moves indoors as well as outdoors. The Differential GPS (DGPS) which has a position estimation error of less than 5 m is a general solution when the mobile robot is moving outdoor, while an active beacon system (ABS) with embedded ultrasonic sensors is reliable as an indoor positioning system. The switching from the outdoor to indoor or vice versa causes unstable measurements on account of the reference coordinates and algorithm changes. To minimize the switching time in the position estimation and to stabilize the measurement, a robust position sensing system is proposed. In the system, to minimize the switching delay, the door positions are stored and updated in a database. Using the database, the approaching status of the mobile robot from indoor to outdoor or vice versa has been checked and the switching conditions are prepared before the mobile robot actually moves out or moves into the door. The reliability and accuracy of the robust positioning system based on DGPS and ABS are verified and demonstrated through the real experiments using a mobile robot prepared for this research.
