  • The foremost problem in the agricultural industry in Ukraine is the issue of improving its energy resources efficiency. The existence of this problem is related to the substantial technological inferiority of the industry to those present in the developed countries, especially in terms of creation of no-waste production technologies of agricultural products. The direct effect on the solving of this issue has the necessity to ensure minimal energy costs during treatment of plant objects. This article presents the research results on the effect of electromagnetic energy on activation of plants development. It was found that each such object has its own individual energy resource and that forceful increase of the latter has specific maximum values and gives rise to the plant development process. At the same time, the implementation of the research results is hindered by some factors, among the most major of which are the following: lack of reliable and complete data on the bioenergy resources of plants, its "natural" chart; unavailability of research on the energy sources interaction processes and its effect on the physiological potential of biological objects, at least at the level of low series, absence of the appropriate electrotechnical equipment, including electromagnetic energy sources.

  • A precision of temperature control in the manufacturing process would be an important factor and become the main key to control production quality. Mostly manufacture machinery used oil as a coolant in their system so an accurate oil temperature control system become an absolute need in industrial field. This paper presents a experiment research to control the oil temperature constant at target point, in this experiment is $35^{\circ}C$ by using an inverter attached in compressor to varying the compressor speed. This control has been completed and tested through an experiment with different heat load of 4kW, 6kW, 7kW, 8kW and 10kW given under temperature constant room conditioned as $25^{\circ}C$. The results had shown the temperature deviation in the refrigerator has around $0.2^{\circ}C$ and the COP is 2.5 gained at 8kW and 10kW.

  • All current shipyards are using the customized CAD/CAM programs in order to improve the design quality and increase the design efficiency. Even though the data structures for ship design and construction are almost completed, the implementation related to the ship design processes are still in progress so that it has been the main causes of the bottleneck and delay during the middle of design process. In this study, we thought that the hole-plan system would be a good example which is remained to be improved. The people of outfitting division who don't have direct authority to edit the structural panels, should request the hull design division to install the holes for the outfitting equipment. For acceptance, they should calculate the hole position, determine the hole type, and find the intersected contour of panel. After consideration of the hull people, the requested holes are manually installed on the hull structure. As the above, many processes are needed such as communication and discussion between the divisions, drawings for hole-plan, and the consideration for the structural or production compatibility. However this iterative process takes a lot of working time and requires mental pressure to the related people and cross-division conflict. This paper will handle the hole-plan system in detail to automate the series of process and minimize the human efforts and time-consumption.

  • In this paper, we describe a system for controlling the perceptual processes of two cooperative mobile robots that addresses the issue of enhancing perceptual awareness. We define awareness here as knowing the location of other robots in the environment. The proposed system benefits from a formalism called perceptual anchoring. Here, perceptual anchoring enhances the awareness of the system by employing an anchor-based active gaze control strategy or active perceptual anchoring to control the perceptual effort according to what is important at a given time. By anchoring we extend the notion of awareness as knowing what the symbols in the control module represent to by connecting them to the objects or features in the environment. We demonstrate the present system through a simulation of two nonholonomic mobile robots performing a cooperative transportation by carrying a cargo to a target location where there are two other robots moving about. The system is able to efficiently focus the perceptual effort and thus able to safely carry the cargo to the target position.

  • This paper proposes an equipment and an algorithm for modeling the magnetic force of electromagnets in magnetic levitation systems. We assume that the magnetic force model is represented in terms of a 2D lookup table. The 2D lookup table is constructed by applying noncausal filtering and interpolation to data measured by the proposed modeling equipment. The proposed modeling equipment is designed such that it can measure the magnetic force exerted on the levitation object while it changes the voltage applied to the electromagnet and position of the levitation object. The algorithm of making a 2D lookup table has two stages. The data measured by the proposed modeling equipment is smoothed by a noncausal filter and then the 2D lookup table is obtained by interpolating filtered data. The proposed modeling method has advantages of time-saving, model consistency, and chance of automation for mass production. We show the validity of proposed method through control experiments.

  • In industry, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system plays critical role to ensure production is monitored and controlled rigorously and in timely manner. Having a cost saving yet still effective SCADA system would be much desired by Industry. SCADA itself is a field with constant development and research like how this paper investigates on creating an extremely low cost device, which can be adapted to many different SCADA applications through some very basic programming when combined with relevant peripherals. Much of the process in some expensive SCADA application based on smartphone application is due to specialized communication infrastructure. This paper addresses the needs by developing low cost and integrated wireless SCADA system. The system features capability on accessing the performance of remotely situated device parameter, such as temperature, control analog or digital input output on real time basis. We use existing mobile network capability through Bluetooth communication channel.

  • The primary element of machining automation is to maximize the utilization of machine tools, which determines the output and lead-time. In particular, 95% of raw materials for wing ribs are cut into chips and 0.6 ton of chips are generated every hour from each machine tool. In order to verify the chip recycling system that controls the chips from the machines in five-axis FMS line, a simulation of the virtual model is constructed using the QUEST simulation program. The optimum speed of the chip conveyor and its operating conditions that directly affect the efficiency of the FMS line are presented including the chip conveyor speed, the maximum capacity of the hopper, and the number of chip compressors.

  • In this paper, we propose a new method to read the hand of analog gauges to prepare for the smart factory. In addition, we suggest a new and improved method that can apply, in general, diverse analog gauges even if their scale types and ranges are various. Many companies are making great efforts to build smart factories that increase energy efficiency and automation. Managers use a variety of equipment and tools to manage the production process at the factory. In this kind of factory, analog gauges have been often used with many equipment and tools. Analog gauges are mostly circular in shape, and most papers use circular hough transform to find the center and radius of a circle. However, when the object to be found is not of the correct circle type, it takes a long time to recognize the circle using the circular hough transform, and the center and radius of the circle can not be calculated accurately. The proposed method was tested on various circular analog gauges. As a result, we confirmed that our method is outstanding.

  • For the factory automation(FA) of production or assembly lines, computer vision techniques have been widely used for the recognition and position-control of objects. In this application, it is very important to analyze characteristic features of each object and to find an efficient matching algorithm using the selected features. If the object has regular or homogeneous patterns, the problem is relatively simple. However, If the object is shifted or rotated, and if the depth of the input visual system is not fixed, the problem becomes very complicated. Also, in order to understand and recognize objects with concentric noise patterns, it is more effective to use feature-information represented in polar coordinates than in cartesian coordinates. In this paper, an algorithm for the recognition of objects with concentric circular noise-patterns is proposed. And position-conrtol information is calculated with the matching result. First, a filtering algorithm for eliminating concentric noise patterns is proposed to obtain concentric-feature patterns. Then a shift, rotation and scale invariant alogrithm is proposed for the recognition and position-control of objects uusing invariant feature information. Experimental results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed alogrithm.
