This paper presents an implementation of a smart flowerpot which can adjust humidity and illumination automatically after monitoring the temperature, humidity, and illumination. We made a container of the flowerpot with a 3D printer and embedded a NodeMCU micro controller in it. We attached a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, an illumination sensor, and a water pump to the NodeMCU. We developed a control program that adjusts humidity and illumination and ran it on the NodeMCU. Also we developed an Android application and set up an MQTT server. Using the MQTT server, the NodeMCU and the Android application can exchange messages which keep sensor values and commands. Using the Android application. the user can send the proper temperature, humidity, and illumination to the smart flowerpot and monitor the sensor values.

Hot closed-forging process and the die used for forming an automotive flange were analyzed from the viewpoints of heat transfer, grain-flow lines, and stresses to obtain a forged product without defects such as surface cracks, laps, cold shots, and partial filling. The forging process including up-set, pre-forging, final forging and pressing forces was investigated using finite element analysis. The influence of the preform die and the ratio of the heights of the upper die to lower die on the forging process and die were investigated and a die shape ($10^{\circ}$ for the preform die, and 1.5:1 ratio for the final die) suitable to achieve successful forging was determined on the basis of a parametric study. All parametric design requirements such as strength, full filling, and a load limit of 13,000 KN were satisfied for this newly developed flange die. New dies and flanges were fabricated and investigated. Defects such as partial filling and surface cracks were not observed.

When a snowplow is operating in the up or down direction, the sensor stops the movement automatically and the wire could be broken from an endless drive in the reverse direction impact or conversely winding wire. In the present study, a new bobbin was designed to ensure the durability of snowplows; in this design, the bobbin plays the role of a clutch during power transfer or idling. This will protect the blade of the snowplow during an impact and maintain close contact of the blade with the road. Therefore, the new technology to eliminate the tension and fatigue of the wire is suggested by winding a chain instead of the wire in the newly designed bobbin. From these, it was developed to extend the life of the snowplow without causing damages to the vehicle.

This study is about an arrangement method of trapezoidal pre-cast segment lining that can be applied in shield tunnel construction. Trapezoidal segment lining is formed by assembling tapered pre-cast concrete segments taking advantage of the tapered shape of pre-cast segments upon delivery on site. By calculating tapering of the segments manufactured in single type and rotating the segments when putting them together, a variety of tunnel alignments can be arranged in the most efficient way. Once the design criteria and tunnel alignment (straight or curved) is analyzed, the sequence of assembling trapezoidal segments in compliance with tunnel alignment will be computed. On site an operator can utilize the softwareto automatically determine sequential arrangement of trapezoidal segments. When the actual arrangement of segmental lining is different from the computed output, the operator can input the actually measured values to coincide the computerized calculation with the real status of assembly. Then the adjustment will be the basis of subsequent arrangement of segments, thus the continuity of work can be guaranteed.

On the contrary to the steady rise of social problems about depression, only a few take care of mental health themselves due to their negative perception of psychotherapy. In this study, we propose service design and user interface design of mobile applications that introduce an automatic emotional recognition system to prevent leaving depression unattended. First, we have come up with improvements in the usability of existing apps through literature research and case analysis, and draw out Personas from surveys and in-depth interviews of young people. As an essential element of the design of the Depression Improvement Service, we recommend having three components: writing a diary to manage schedule, recognize users' emotional state through avatar management, and tracking down emotional points to improve the cognitive system. Through this proposal, we want to prevent the development of depression and help to resolve the changes in perception of depression and longitude depression on our own. Ultimately, we publicize the necessity of mental health care application design and expect to lower the personal and social costs for psychiatric care.

Automotive materials and plant modules need to be prepared for freezing parts to operate in extreme areas such as Eastern Europe, Russia, and Canada. However, the only thing that has been done for ultra-qualifying materials for extremely low operating materials is that only the effects at low temperatures are conducted at room temperature, and the effects at low temperatures are only identified at low speeds. Therefore, this study examined the low-temperature characteristics of materials by conducting comparative tests on the mechanical properties of the room at the temperature and temperature of TP304 and TP316 materials, which are the most common materials.

현재 자동차 분야에서 차량 경량화의 한 수단으로 자동차용 유리를 고강도 투명 플라스틱 소재인 Polycarbonate(PC)로 대체하고자 하는 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 하지만, PC의 낮은 내마모 특성과 자외선에 의한 열화 및 변색 현상은 해결하여야 할 문제점으로 지적되고 있으며, 에너지 소비 저감을 위하여 적외선 영역 반사율(reflectance)이 높은 저방사(low emissivity) 특성이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는, ICP-assisted reactive magnetron sputtering 장비를 이용하여 투과율(transmittance)이 확보되고, 고경도 특성을 갖는 Al-Si-N와 300 nm 파장 이하의 자외선 차단 특성이 있는 SiN:H 그리고 저방사 특성을 위해 Al을 증착하였고, 박막의 증착 순서는 SiN:H 박막을 가장 아래에 증착하고 그 위에 Al/Al-Si-N 박막을 다층으로 형성하였다. 박막의 chemical state와 crystallinity를 확인하기 위하여 XPS(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), XRD (X-ray Diffraction)를 이용하여 분석하였다. Knoop ${\mu}$-hardness tester와 Taber tester를 이용하여 경도 및 내마모 특성을 분석하였다. 제작된 샘플의 Al-Si-N 박막 경도는 Si 비율에 따라 다른 경도 특성을 갖는데, 실제 Si/(Al+Si) 비율이 24%에서 최대 31 GPa의 경도 값을 갖는 것을 확인하였다. UV-Vis Spectrometer를 이용하여 250 nm~700 nm 파장의 투과율을 측정하였고, 자외선 영역의 경우 SiN:H 박막에 의해 300 nm 이하의 파장에서 2% 이하의 투과율을 확인하였다. 그리고 FT-IR(Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy)를 이용하여 $2.5{\mu}m{\sim}15{\mu}m$ 파장의 반사율을 이용하여 방사율을 측정하였는데, 3*(Al/Al-Si-N) 구조의 다층 박막의 경우 방사율은 0.27로 측정되었다.
