This paper deals with an experirrental study of a nondestructive testing system using a solenoid eddy currnet sensor to inspect deteriorations in overhead distribution lines, such as broken wires, severe local corrosion or zinc loss. Corrosion rrechanisrn for ACSR and ACSR-OC is discussed and characteristics for a solenoid sensor to insprt the georretrical pararreters of the coil and testing materials impOOance are briefly analyzed. A measurement system having a constant current source, a signal processing unit and a motor driver is impIemented. This instrument has such capabilities as detecting the sensor output and estimating dinHlsions of the testing conductors, continuously. As a result, it was shown that the eddy current sensor with an encircling coil could effectively estimate the diatreter change due to deteriorations in overhead distribution lines. lines.

Impedance analysis of a Solenoid sensor to detect the cross-sectional area of non-ferromagnetic stranded conductors is described in this paper. To inspect electromagnetic characteristics of conductive materials, a nondestructive test eddy current sensor with an encircling coil is chosen. As solving Maxwell equation, normalized impedance response of the sensor within a conducting rod is modeled and the results are expanded to the stranded wires. Geometrical property affecting on stranded structure is considered and a numerical and experimental study is also presented.

최근 사물인터넷 기술은 4차 산업혁명을 이끌 차세대 성장기술로 많은 분야에서 기술도입과 융합을 시도하고 있다. 장난감 시장 역시 사물인터넷 기술 도입으로 많은 변화가 일어나고 있다. 특히, 단순한 조작 위주의 장난감을 스마트 기기, 센서 등과 연동하여 원격제어를 하고, 부가 정보를 축적하여 활용함으로써 사장되었던 많은 장난감들이 새로운 놀이도구로 재생산되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 대표적인 놀이기구였던 팽이를 새롭게 사물인터넷 기반 스마트 팽이로 제작하기 위한 방안을 제시한다. 스마트 팽이는 초소형 아두이노 보드를 장착하고 스마트폰과 통신이 가능하도록 하여 회전 및 충돌 정보를 스마트폰으로 전송하도록 한다. 또한, 스마트 팽이에 솔레노이드를 이용한 점핑 모듈을 추가하고 스마트폰에서 점프 명령을 내릴 수 있도록 함으로써 게임 참여자의 직접 제어가 가능한 스마트 팽이 대전 게임을 구현할 수 있도록 한다.

This paper describes several performances and nondestructive inspection for deterioration due to forest fires in overhead transmission lines. After discussing corrosion mechanism such as atmospheric and galvanic corrosion for aged ACSR conductors and its detection for them are presented. Through impedance analysis of a solenoid coil, it is shown that the eddy current sensor may be available to inspect severe fault or local corrosion. As the solenoid coil changes its impedance when the test conductor is inserted into the coil, it can be possible to measure deterioration degree caused by forest fires. Tensile strength, extension rate and sensor impedance are tested for some samples degraded by artificial fire. As increasing blazed period to some extent, the strength of aluminum strand begins to be reduced remarkably, while galvanized steel strand holds the similar strength to the initial value, despite of appearing a little loss of zinc layer. In general, it is shown that the sensor impedance would be increased while the tension load of conductor is reduced and the extension rate is contrarily increased. Therefore, the sensor output could exhibit the changes of mechanical performances, and would be used to detect such deterioration caused by forest fire in ACSR conductors built on the ridge of mountains. Finally, it was verified that the solenoid coil could be applicable to obtain any crucial inform for serious deterioration due to forest fires.

In this paper, we propose to improve conventional methods, which measure moisture level in the soil and supply proper water by a hand operation. Our system use wireless sensor network between sensor node and host PC. The measurement system measure moisture level by use moisture sensor. The control system control electronic solenoid switch and supply proper water automatically.

Solenoid-folw control type ABS is used with a 'dump and reapply' pressure control arrangement instead of using 2/2 (normal open/close) solenoid valves in convensional systems(sol. -sol. control type), a flow control valve is used which replaces the (no) inlet valve. The flow control valve controls fluid flow providing a nearly constant reapply rate( .theta. ) after the dump plase of ABS operation. In this study, to investigate a characteristics of brake pressure by PWM control, test rig was consisted of ABS hydraulic modulator, digital controller, pneumatic power supply and brake master cylinder. For comparison with experi- mental results, system modelling and computer simulation were performed. As a result, experiment results showed fairly agreement with the simulation. Also, it is shown that the pressure gradient (tan .theta. ) is affected by pressure, frequency, duty ratio and expressed with an exponential funtion.

In Korea, urban railway cars are typically maintained using the strategy of predictive maintenance. In an effort to overcome the limitations of the existing strategy, there is increased interest in adopting the condition-based maintenance strategy. In this study, a novel method is proposed to detect faults in the solenoid valves of the braking system in urban railway vehicles. We determined the key component (i.e., solenoid valve) that leads to braking system faults through the analysis of failure modes, effects, and criticality. Then, an equivalent circuit model was developed with the compensation of the temperature effect on solenoid coils. Finally, we presented how to detect faults with the equivalent circuit model and current signal measurements. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed method, we conducted a case study using real solenoid valves taken from urban railway vehicles. In summary, it was shown that the proposed method can be effective to detect faults in solenoid valves. We anticipate the outcome from this study can help secure the safety and reliability of urban railway vehicles.

This paper presents an implementation of a scent collector to collect various scent using a multi-gas sensor. The proposed scent collector is implemented with a solenoid valve, a vacuum pump, a chamber containing four gas sensors, and a Raspberry Pi. To verify the functionality of the proposed scent collector, experiments were conducted to collect five scent sources.
