This paper introduces the development process of mobile home CCTV that enables remote control and object recognition using unused smartphones and Arduino. Clients can control motors connected to Arduino through button, enable bidirectional voice communication between client-server and receive video from the server in real time. The server sends a PUSH notification to the client when its battery is low. When the server recognizes the charger, the client's remote control allows the server to dock to the charger and charge it. It was confirmed that video and voice delivery between client and server works well without any problems, and that object recognition works smoothly.

Environmental impact of a mobile phone charger containing recycled plastic was quantified using LCA and the environmental benefits from the use of recycled and virgin plastic were compared. The assessment considers potential environmental impacts across the whole life cycle of the charger including; pre-manufacturing; manufacturing; distribution; product use; and end-of-life stages and quantified six environmental impact categories; Abiotic depletion; Acidification; Eutrophication; Global warming; Ozone layer depletion; and Photochemical oxidants creation. The study showed that the environmental impacts of the use stage accounted for 94.4% and 70% in the resource depletion and global warming impact categories, respectively, and the environmental impacts of the pre - manufacturing stage accounted for more than 98% in the other impact categories. The main cause of the environmental impacts in the use stage was electricity consumed by the charger. The main cause in the pre-manufacturing stage was PBA (Printed Board Assembly) and external case manufacturing. In order to quantify the environmental benefits of recycled PC (Polycarbonate) in the exterior case, the environmental impacts of 1 kg production of recycled PC and virgin PC were evaluated. The environmental impact on the abiotic depletion of the recycled PC is estimated to be 30% compared to the virgin PC, and the impacts on the other impact categories of the recycled PC were less than 5% of the virgin plastic. Sensitivity analysis was performed for 12 items including site data and assumptions made. The sensitivity of each item was less than 10%. The results of this study confirm that designing compact and light PBA, improving charging efficiency, and use of recycled plastic are important design factors to reduce the environmental impact of a charger.

A programmable smart charger compatible to various load conditions is proposed in this paper. Since the proposed smart charger is compatible to various mobile devices having different rated voltage and power, it is convenient for carrying and easy to standardize many kinds of battery chargers. Moreover, since it uses the input impedance and built-in PMIC (Power management IC) of the load system to recognize the connection state and specifications of load system, hardware changes of load system is not only hardly necessary but it also features no addition communication cable and easy implementation. To confirm the validity of the proposed charger, the theoretical analysis and experiment results from a prototype compatible to three load conditions 5V/1A, 5V/2A and 12V/1A are provided.

일반적으로 휴대폰에는 리튬이온(Ll-lon) 전지(battery)를 많이 사용하고 있으며 그 전지(battery)를 충전시키기 위해 Microcontroller를 사용해서 과충전과 방전, 그리고 전지(battery) 보호와 충전에 대한 일정한 전류를 제어한다. 여기에서 충전 동작 시 필요한 일반직인 충전 전류 제어를 PWM의 방식에 의존하지 않고 인공지능 기법을 이용해 소프트웨어적으로 처리가 필요한 파라메터 값을 추정해 적용시키고자 한다. 따라서 개발한 충전시스템에 일반적인 충전 파라메터를 전압과 전류 그리고 시간으로 분류하여 Microcontroller에 그 파라메터를 적용시켜 PWM 방식으로 제어한 후에 실험에 의한 결과값을 얻는다. 그리고 이것들을 비교하여 보다 나은 충전시스템을 구현하기 위해 인공지능 기법 중에 하나인 신경망을 이용하여 전압과 전류 그리고 시간에 대한 파라메터를 처리하였다. 본 논문에서 신경망에 대한 파라메터의 학습을 일반 FC에서 구현하고 여기에서 추출된 학습 값을 Microcontroller에 적용시켜 입력값에 따라 다양한 PWM 신호를 발생시키도록 구현했다. 이후 실제적인 실험에 의한 결과값을 본 논문에서 서술하였다.

The electrolyte of the capacitor in mobile phone chargers leaks to the power input terminal resulting in tracking on the PCB board to form a carbonized conductive path. As a result of structural analysis of the cause of the tracking, It occurred when the power input terminal and the PCB board were connected directly using the connector. The larger the amount of electrolyte leaked from the capacitor into the power input terminal, or the lower the height of the partition provided between the plug pins of the power input terminal, the higher the tracking occurrence rate. Accordingly, to lower the occurrence rate of tracking in the charger, it is necessary to provide a partition on the capacitor or increase the height of the partition provided on the power input terminal so that the leaked electrolyte does not flow to the power input terminal. In addition, the tracking occurrence rate will be reduced further if the shape of the PCB board touching ther power connection terminal is changed to ${\Pi}$.

Restricted by finite battery energy, traditional wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can only maintain for a limited period of time, resulting in serious performance bottleneck in long-term deployment of WSN. Fortunately, the advancement in the wireless energy transfer technology provides a potential to free WSNs from limited energy supply and remain perpetual operational. A mobile charger called wireless charging vehicle (WCV) is employed to periodically charge each sensor node and keep its energy level above the minimum threshold. Aiming at maximizing the ratio of the WCV's vocation time over the cycle time as well as guaranteeing the perpetual operation of networks, we propose a feasible and optimal solution to this issue within the context of a real-time large-scale deployed WSN. First, we develop two different types of charging cycles: initialization cycles and renewable cycles and give relevant algorithms to construct these two cycles for each sensor node. We then formulate the optimization problem into an optimal construction algorithm and prove its correctness through theoretical analysis. Finally, we conduct extensive simulations to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithms.

This study conducted a study on a small-capacity PCS using lithium-ion batteries used in personal mobility. Most of the batteries in Personal Mobility only charge with external chargers and are used only as mobile energy sources. However, this paper aims to charge the battery of PM using PV and system power or to use the charged power as a stand-alone power supply. The developed PCS can be operated as a two-channel battery charger/discharger, a battery charger using solar power, and a stand-alone solar inverter depending on the operation method. The validity of the manufactured small-capacity PCS was verified through experiments.

Currently, wireless power transmission technology based on magnetic induction was employed in battery charger for smart phone application. The system consists of wireless power transmitter in base station and receiver in smart phone. Size and thickness of receiver was strictly limited in the newest smart phone. In order to achieve high efficiency of a tiny small wireless power receiver module, sub-millimeter thick electromagnetic wave shielding sheet having high permeability and Q was essential component. It was found that magnetic field from transmitter to receiver can be intensified by sufficient shielding cause to minimize leakage magnetic flux by those magnetic properties. This leads to high efficiency of wireless power transmission and protects crucial integrated circuit of main board from electromagnetic noise. The important soft magnetic materials were introduced and summarized for the current small-power wireless power charger and NFC application and mid-power home appliance and high-power automotive application in the near future.
