  • Scientific exploration of extraterrestrial planets has gripped human imagination since the advent of space travel. Human missions to Mars could produce insight into the essential questions of how, when and where life began on Earth. Such missions would only be feasible using local space resources materials, a concept called in situ-resource utilization (ISRU). The purpose of this paper is to provide a thorough review of the currently available Mars soil simulants and to determine those with geotechnical properties most appropriate for vehicle mobility studies. Sourcing and processing are considered since full-scale studies require bulk quantities of material on the order of tens of tons. This review identifies the simulants with the highest fidelity to Mars wind drift soils. In addition, recommendation guide for mars soil simulant development made.

  • Recently military industrial company, utilizing company funded R&D and goverment and industry contracts, has developed ACTS/DACS technology. This technology can be utilized to rapidly steer "smart" bullets, "smart" rounds, tactical missile, cruise missile and kill vehicles for both endo- and exoatmospheric applications. The ACTS/DACS typically consists of a Smart Bus Controller(SCB), a proprietary network firing bus, Smart Pyrotechnic Devices(SPD), rocket motors, and a structure. The SCB communicates with the SPDs over the propretary network firing bus. Each rocket motor contains an SPD which provides rocket motor ignition. Firing energy is stored locally in the SPD so surge currents do not occur in the system as rocket motors are fired. This approach allows multiple, truly simultaneous firings without the need for large, dedicated batteries. Each SPD also functions as a network tranceiver and high reliability fir set all in the space of a single-sided 10 millimeter diameter circuit. The present work develops a new means for igniting explosive materials. The volume of semiconductor bridge (SCB) is over 30 times smaller than a conventional hot wire. We believe that the present work has a potential for development of a new igniter such as smart pyrotechnic device.

  • In a ubiquitous computing environment, a ubiquitous smart space is required to help devices provide intelligent services. The smart space embedded with mobile devices should have the capabilities of collecting data and refining the data to contact. Unfortunately, the context information in a ubiquitous smart space has many ambiguous characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to adapt a standard taxonomy for contact information in the smart space and to implement an inference technique of the context information based on taxonomy. Rule-based inference engine, such as CLIPS, Jess, was employed for providing situation-aware services. However, it is difficult for these engines to be used in resource limited mobile devices. In this paper, we propose a light-weight inference engine providing autonomous situation aware services in mobile environment. It can be utilized for personal mobile devices tuck as mobile phone, PMP and navigation. It can also support both generalized rules and specialized rules as using hierarchical taxonomy information.

  • Modern society is becoming more informed and intelligent with the development of digital technology, in which humans, objects, and networks relate with each other. In accordance with the changing times, a garden system has emerged that makes it easy to supply the ideal temperature, humidity, sunlight, and moisture conditions to grow plants. Therefore, this study attempted to grasp the concept, perception, and trends of smart gardens, a recent concept. To achieve the purpose of this study, previous studies and text mining were used, and the results are as follows. First, the core characteristics of smart gardens are new gardens in which IoT technology and gardening techniques are fused in indoor and outdoor spaces due to technological developments and changes in people's lifestyles. As technology advances and the importance of the environment increases, smart gardens are becoming a reality due to the need for living spaces where humans and nature can co-exist. With the advent of smart gardens, it will be possible to contribute to gardens' vitalization to deal with changes in garden-related industries and people's lifestyles. Second, in current research related to smart gardens and users' experiences, the technical aspects of smart gardens are the most interesting. People value smart garden functions and technical aspects that enable a safe, comfortable, and convenient life, and subjective uses are emerging depending on individual tastes and the comfort with digital devices. Third, looking at the usage behavior of smart gardens, they are mainly used in indoor spaces, with edible plants are being grown. Due to the growing importance of the environment and concerns about climate change and a possible food crisis, the tendency is to prefer the cultivation of plants related to food, but the expansion of garden functions can satisfying users' needs with various technologies that allow for the growing of flowers. In addition, as users feel the shapes of smart gardens are new and sophisticated, it can be seen that design is an essential factor that helps to satisfy users. Currently, smart gardens are developing in terms of technology. However, the main components of the smart garden are the combination of humans, nature, and technology rather than focusing on growing plants conveniently by simply connecting potted plants and smart devices. It strengthens connectivity with various city services and smart homes. Smart gardens interact with the landscape of the architect's ideas rather than reproducing nature through science and technology. Therefore, it is necessary to have a design that considers the functions of the garden and the needs of users. In addition, by providing citizens indoor and urban parks and public facilities, it is possible to share the functions of communication and gardening among generations targeting those who do not enjoy 'smart' services due to age and bridge the digital device and information gap. Smart gardens have potential as a new landscaping space.

  • Information technology advances are allowing conventional surveillance systems to be combined with mobile communication technologies, creating ubiquitous monitoring systems. This paper proposes monitoring system that uses smart camera technology. We discuss the dependence of interior orientation parameters on calibration target sheets and compare the accuracy of a three-dimensional monitoring system with camera location calculated by space resectioning using a Digital Surface Model (DSM) generated from stereo images. A monitoring housing is designed to protect a camera from various weather conditions and to provide the camera for power generated from solar panel. A smart camera is installed in the monitoring housing. The smart camera is operated and controlled through an Android application. At last the accuracy of a three-dimensional monitoring system is evaluated using a DSM. The proposed system was then tested against a DSM created from ground control points determined by Global Positioning Systems (GPSs) and light detection and ranging data. The standard deviation of the differences between DSMs are less than 0.12 m. Therefore the monitoring system is appropriate for extracting the information of objects' position and deformation as well as monitoring them. Through incorporation of components, such as camera housing, a solar power supply, the smart camera the system can be used as a ubiquitous monitoring system.

  • As shopping malls and department stores become larger and larger, the parking lots for customers of the facilities provide broad spaces for massive cars. Though managers of the facilities support parking situation plates or numbers of guides in order to help customers, it requires additional costs for managing parking plates or guides. In this paper, we propose the parking system using smart devices. The proposed system exploits sensors and zigbee modules to collect the data of each parking space and shows the current state of the parking lot to customers with smart devices.
