  • 영상수위계는 카메라에 의해서 수위표를 촬영하여 촬영된 영상을 처리하여 수위값으로 변환하여 자동적으로 수위를 측정하는 장비이다. 이 수위계는 기존 수위측정 장비인 부자식, 압력식, 기포식, 초음파식, 레이다식과는 달리 수위표를 촬영한 영상으로부터 수위를 직접 눈으로 확인할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이로 인해 영상자료로부터 측정된 수위를 검증할 수 있어 수위측정의 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 그리고 수위표 영상과 더불어 관측지점 주변의 전체 영상을 동시에 촬영하여 실시간으로 전송하기 때문에 홍수시 하천 상황에 대한 모니터링 목적으로 사용될 수 있다. 영상수위계 시스템은 크게 메인제어기, 전원부, 서버부 및 카메라부로 구성되어 있다. 현재 운영되고 있는 시스템은 전원장치 리셋시 전 시스템을 리셋해야하고, 상전 단전시 전 시스템이 off된다. 그리고 별도의 통신모듈을 사용하여 장비간 통신이 이루어지고 있다. 또한 카메라부에는 렌즈와 팬/틸트를 제어하기 위한 별도의 장비가 포함되어 있고, 백색 LED 조명이 사용되어 야간에 수위인식주기마다 조명이 on/off 되고 있다. 위와 같은 전원장치의 운영으로 시스템을 안정적으로 운영할 수 없다. 그리고 수위 오인식을 최소화하기 위해서는 연속적인 수위 인식이 필요하지만, 백색 LED조명과 1초에 2프레임을 캡쳐하는 비디오 캡쳐방식에 의해 시스템을 상시로 운영하는 것이 곤란하다. 현재 운영 중인 영상수위계를 안정적으로 운영할 수 있도록 장비별로 제어가 가능하도록 전원 제어장치를 개발하였고, 상전 단전시 최소 30분 정도 전원을 유지할 수 있도록 무정전전원장치(UPS)를 설치하였으며, 측정자료의 저장장치를 하드디스크 타입에서 Flash SSD 메모리 타입으로 교체하였다. 또한 영상수위계 시스템을 상시 운영할 수 있도록 백색 LED조명을 적외선 LED조명으로 교체하였고, 1초에 1회 수위를 인식하도록 수위인식주기와 1초에 25프레임 캡쳐할 수 있도록 비디오 캡쳐방식을 개선하였다. 위와 같은 시스템의 개선으로 시스템을 안정적으로 운영할 수 있게 되어 시스템 고장에 의해 발생하는 수위 결측을 감소시킬 수 있고, 시스템의 상시 운영으로 수 위 오인식을 최소화시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • Apartment recently built in kitchen is made is made because the gas hose with built-in ways invisible inside the sink. In this case, if the gas leaks, it is a dangerous method that can accumulate inside the sink and lead to an explosion. In this study, since the hose connected between the gas range and the intermediate valve is inside the sink, it is not possible to test for gas leaks, so a valve system that can easily check for gas leaks using a pressure sensor was studied. As for the pressure measurement method, the pressure of the hose connecting the intermediate valve and the gas range was measured so that data could be collected and analyzed using the I2C communication method. In addition, the calculation of the gas pressure supplied to the home was investigated for the atmospheric pressure error for the value calculated by adding the average value of the gas gauge pressure of 22.46 mbar at the inlet of the gas meter to the atmospheric pressure. A valve system was developed to detect minute gas leaks.

  • We suggest how to program off-line robot path along shoes' outsole shape in the footwear buffing process by a 5-axis microscribe system like robot arms. This microscribe system developed consists a 5-axis robot link with a turn table, signal processing circuit, PC and an application software program. It makes a robot path on the shoe's upper through the movement of a microscribe with many joints. To do this, first it reads 5-encoder's pulse values while a robot arm points a shoes' outsole shape from the initial status. This system developed calculates the encoder pulse values for the robot arm's rotation and transmits the angle pulse values to the PC through a circuit. Then, Denavit-Hartenberg's(D-H) direct kinematics is used to make the global coordinate from robot joint one. The determinant is obtained with kinematics equation and D-H variable representation. To drive the kinematics equation, we have to set up the standard coordinates first. The many links and the more complicated structure cause the difficult kinematics problem to solve in the geometrical way. Thus, we can solve the robot's kinematics problems efficiently and systematically by Denavit-Hartenberg's representation. Finally, with the coordinate values calculated above, it can draw a buffing gauge-line on the upper. Also, it can program off-line robot path on the shoes' upper. We are subjected to obtaining shoes' outline points, which are 2 outlines coupled with the points and the normal vector based on the points. These data is supposed to be transformed into .dxf file to be used for data of automatic buffing robot. This system developed is simulated by using spline curves coupled with each point from dxf file in Autocad. As a result of applying this system to the buffing robot in the flexible footwear manufacturing system, it can be used effectively to program the path of a real buffing robot.

  • Mining, construction, and other special vehicles for heavy use are designed to work under high-performance and off-road working conditions. The driving and executive mechanisms of the support structures and superstructures of these vehicles frequently operate under high loads. Such high loads place the equipment under constant risk of an accident and can jeopardize the dynamic stability of the machinery. An experimental investigation was conducted on a refuse collection vehicle. The aim of this research was to determine the working conditions of a real vehicle: the kinematics of the waste container, that is, a hydraulic rotate drum for waste collection; the dynamics of the load manipulator (superstructure); the vibrations of the vehicle mass; and the strain (stress) of the elements responsible for the supporting structure. For an examination of the force (weight) on the rear axle of a heavy vehicle, caused by its own weight and additional load, a universal measurement system is proposed. As a result of this investigation, we propose an alternative system for continuous vehicle weighing during waste collection while in motion, that is, an on-board weighing system, and provide suggestions for measuring equipment designs.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop a computer operated automatic drip irrigation system for application in vinyl-house cultivation. The results can be summarized as follows: 1) The T-type ice compensation wire was used to measure the temperature. The voltage level measured up to 0.02 volt was used as input to an 8-bit A/D converter. 2) A specially devised tensiometer was used to content the watering system. When the needle of the pressure gauge reaches the lower threshold position it turns on the pumping system and turns off when it reaches higher threshold position. 3) In order to use the multiple gypsum blocks for one transducer, reed relays and a D/O board were used to make the sequential switching possible. 4) It was possible to automate the trickle irrigation system for the whole growth period of vinyl-house crops with the help of microcomputer. 5) In terms of furrow irrigation, the irrigation water consumption was the smallest, 2.8 times less than conventional method of surface trickle irrigation, 3.4 times less than subsurface trickle irrigation method. 6) In terms of productivity of cucumber, there was a drop in productivity when compared to furrow irrigation method, 7.2% for surface trickle irrigation, 27.4% for subsurface irrigation method.

  • A fine-grid (3 km ${\times}$ 3 km), three-dimensional nowcast system of sea levels, currents, temperature, and salinity is being developed for the Taiwan Strait. The project takes a balanced approach relying equally on models and observations, will have the capacity of real-time data assimilation, and is aimed at both practical and scientific applications. To determine boundary conditions and verify model results, eight coastal tide-gauge stations were first established along both sides of the strait. Strait-wide hydrographic surveys were conducted by research vessels. Currents are being measured using bottom-mounted ADCP moorings in a meridional deep channel off southwest Taiwan and along a traverse section in the central part of the strait. In addition to a fine-resolution three-dimensional model of the Taiwan Strait, an adjoint model and a larger-domain two-dimensional model were used to better determine boundary conditions in the northern and southern boundaries of the strait. In the first stage of model development, barotropic tides were successfully simulated in a hindcast mode. The protocol product has been released to general public, including government agencies, universities and general users.

  • In this study, we developed a program to estimate discharge efficiently considering major hydraulic characteristic including water level, river bed, water slope and roughness coefficient in a natural river. Stream discharge was measured at Gongju gauge station located in the down stream of the Daechung Dam during normal and dry seasons from 2003 to 2004. The developed model was compared with the results from the existing rating curve at T/M gage stations, and was used for runoff analyses. Evaluating the developed river discharge estimation program, it was applied during 1983-2004 that base flow separation method and RRFS (Rainfall Runoff Forecasting System) which is based on SSARR (Streamflow Synthesis And Resevoir Regulation). The result presents the stage-discharge curve creator range at the Gong-ju is overestimated by approximately $10-20\%$, especially at the low stage. It is attributed to the hydraulic characteristics at the study. The discharge simulated by the RRFS and base flow separation, which is calibrated using the measurement at the early spring and late fall season during relatively d]v season, shows the least errors. The coefficient of roughness at Gongju station varied with the high and low water level.

  • Development of highly efficient and energy-saving tractors has been one of the issues in agricultural machinery. For design of such tractors, measurement and analysis of load on major power transmission parts of the tractors are the most important pre-requisite tasks. Objective of this study was to perform pre-processing procedures before effective analysis of load data of agricultural tractors (30, 75, and 82 kW) during major field operations such as plow tillage, rotary tillage, baling, bale wrapping, and to select the suitable pre-processing method for the analysis. A load measurement systems, equipped in the tractors, were consisted of strain-gauge, encoder, hydraulic pressure, and radar speed sensors to measure torque and rotational speed levels of transmission input shaft, PTO shaft, and driving axle shafts, pressure of the hydraulic inlet line, and travel speed, respectively. The entire sensor data were collected at a 200-Hz rate. Plow tillage, rotary tillage, baling, wrapping, and loader operations were selected as major field operations of agricultural tractors. Same or different farm works and driving levels were set differently for each of the load measuring experiment. Before load data analysis, pre-processing procedures such as outlier removal, low-pass filtering, and data division were performed. Data beyond the scope of the measuring range of the sensors and the operating range of the power transmission parts were removed. Considering engine and PTO rotational speeds, frequency components greater than 90, 60, and 60 Hz cut off frequencies were low-pass filtered for plow tillage, rotary tillage, and baler operations, respectively. Measured load data were divided into five parts: driving, working, implement up, implement down, and turning. Results of the study would provide useful information for load characteristics of tractors on major field operations.
