Rotational smart lighting control system provides artificial light to plants on planting board by rotational lighting system. As the lighting system of existing plant factory has high cost problem due to the installation for many lighting equipments, the lighting system was developed to rotate less number of lighting equipments to reduce cost. In this paper, the illuminance, luminous flux and photosynthetic photon flux density(PPFD) that plants need to grow were calculated. And the light intensity at each measured location considering the rotational speed of blade were analyzed by the simulation and the experiment.

In this paper, to make a high performance and low power CORDIC architecture for 3D operations in mobile devices, we suggest two off-line vectoring algorithms named Angle Based Search (ABS) and Scaling Considered Search (SCS). The ABS algorithm represents a 3D vector with two angles and those angles are used as a condition for searching CORDIC rotation sequences. The SCS algorithm determines the best CORDIC rotation sequence in advance to eliminate extra scaling computation. Using the proposed algorithms, we can observe 50% of latency is reduced. Furthermore, we perform a simple analysis and discuss possible reduction of power consumption by applying voltage scaling method together with the proposed algorithm.

AE-CORDIC improves the CORDIC operation speed with a rotation direction pre-computation algorithm. Its CORDIC iteration stages consist of non-predictable rotation direction states and predictable rotation stages. The non-predictable stages are replaced with lookup-table which has smaller hardware size than CORDIC iteration stages. The predictable stages can determine rotation direction with the input angle and simple encoder. In this paper, a rotation direction pre-computation algorithm with input angle encoder is proposed. and AE-CORDIC which have optimized Lookup-table is compared with the P-CORDIC algorithm. Hardware size, delay, and SQNR of the AE-CORDIC are verified with Samsung 0.18㎛ technology and Synopsys design compiler when input angle bit length is 16.

A new type of modular mirror manipulator with independent adjustability was developed for the EPU6 beamline under construction at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory. The mirror manipulator was designed so that the angular displacements of roll and pitch rotations do not introduce translational displacements and are independent with each other by positioning the mirror center to the center of a newly devised spherical joint. Manipulating its roll and pitch micrometers, the rotation angles of a dummy mirror were measured at an accuracy of 5 $\mu$rad using a gravity-referenced inclinometer. While the designed angular resolution was 3.937 $\mu$rad/$\mu\textrm{m}$, measured angular resolutions were 3.94 $\mu$rad/$\mu\textrm{m}$ for roll rotation and 3.85 $\mu$rad/$\mu\textrm{m}$ for pitch rotation. The effect of roll rotation on pitch angles was measured to be -3.18% and the effect of pitch rotation on roll angles was measured to be -5.21%. As the mirror manipulator was designed with emphases on independent adjustability and standardization, it results in eases of manufacturing, installation and adjustment as well as reductions of development period and design cost of mirror manipulators for various types of mirrors.

Since a Compton camera has high detection sensitivity due to electronic collimation and a good energy resolution, it is a potential imaging system for nuclear medicine. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of a Compton camera for multi-tracer imaging and proposed a rotating Compton camera to satisfy Orlov's condition for 3D imaging. Two software phantoms of 140 and 511 keV radiation sources were used for Monte-Carlo simulation and then the simulation data were reconstructed by listmode ordered subset expectation maximization to evaluate the capability of multi-tracer imaging in a Compton camera. And the Compton camera rotating around the object was proposed and tested with different rotation angle steps for improving the limited coverage of the fixed conventional Compton camera over the field-of-view in terms of histogram of angles in spherical coordinates. The simulation data showed the separate 140 and 511 keV images from simultaneous multi-tracer detection in both 2D and 3D imaging and the number of valid projection lines on the conical surfaces was inversely proportional to the decrease of rotation angle. Considering computation load and proper number of projection lines on the conical surface, the rotation angle of 30 degree was sufficient for 3D imaging of the Compton camera in terms of 26 min of computation time and 5 million of detected event number and the increased detection time can be solved with multiple Compton camera system. The Compton camera proposed in this study can be effective system for multi-tracer imaging and is a potential system for development of various disease diagnosis and therapy approaches.

This study evaluates the performance of image to patient registration algorithm by using stereo vision and CT image for facial region surgical navigation. For the process of image to patient registration, feature extraction and 3D coordinate calculation are conducted, and then 3D CT image to 3D coordinate registration is conducted. Of the five combinations that can be generated by using three facial feature extraction methods and three registration methods on stereo vision image, this study evaluates the one with the highest registration accuracy. In addition, image to patient registration accuracy was compared by changing the facial rotation angle. As a result of the experiment, it turned out that when the facial rotation angle is within 20 degrees, registration using Active Appearance Model and Pseudo Inverse Matching has the highest accuracy, and when the facial rotation angle is over 20 degrees, registration using Speeded Up Robust Features and Iterative Closest Point has the highest accuracy. These results indicate that, Active Appearance Model and Pseudo Inverse Matching methods should be used in order to reduce registration error when the facial rotation angle is within 20 degrees, and Speeded Up Robust Features and Iterative Closest Point methods should be used when the facial rotation angle is over 20 degrees.

The dinger in solar generation is the amount of sunlight which the solar cells absorb. Various types of solar trackers, which rotate themselves in order to make the solar cells face the sun as much as possible, have been developed, and especially the method of tracking with two axes has greatly contributed in increasing the generation amount at work sites. Among theses 2-axis solar trackers, the inclination-dependent 2-axis solar tracker are widely utilized for its advantages of requiring less initial investment and easy maintenance due to a solid structure. However, the drawback is that the generation efficiency is relatively low because of the structural restriction that limits the rotation angle, thus making it less efficient when tracking the sun. This paper proposes a method to increase the generation efficiency of the inclination-dependent 2-axis solar tracker. It also contains the derived equations needed for precise controlling along with a method to keep tracking with the other axis even when one has reached its angle limit. To confirm that the proposed method increases the amount of incidence onto the solar cells, formulas needed for operation on the proposed method and tracking the exact position of the sun are derived, and applying this to the quarterly data of Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute it shows maximum over 11.1% more incidence compared to existing methods.

Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF) is a unique sheet-forming technique. The process is a die-less sheet metal manufacturing process for rapid prototyping and small batch production. In the forming process, the critical parameters affecting the formability of sheet materials are the tool diameter, step depth, feed rate, spindle speed, etc. This study examined the effects of these parameters on the formability in the forming of the varying wall angle conical frustum model for a pure Al3004 sheet with 1mm in thickness. Using Minitab software based on Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) and Genetic Algorithm (GA), a second order mathematical prediction model was established to predict and optimize the wall angle. The results showed that the maximum forming angle was 87.071° and the best combination of these parameters to give the best performance of the experiment is as follows: tool diameter of 6mm, spindle speed of 180rpm, step depth of 0.4mm, and feed rate of 772mm/min.

경사코팅 기술(Oblique Angle Deposition; OAD)은 입사 증기가 기판에 수직으로 입사하지 않고 90도 보다 작은 각도로 비스듬히 입사하도록 조절하여 코팅하는 물리증착 기술의 하나로 피막의 조직을 다양하게 제어할 수 있는 방법으로 알려져 있다. 초기의 경사 코팅 기술은 경사각을 가진 정지된 기판 상에 코팅하였으나 최근에는 기판의 각도와 회전을 동시에 조절하여 이루어지는 소위 스침각 증착(Glancing Angle Deposition; GLAD) 기술이 개발되어 다양한 형태의 구조를 제어하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히, 컴퓨터를 이용하여 입사각과 방위각을 정밀 제어함에 의해 나노 스케일의 Zigzag 및 나선형, 기둥형 조직 등 복잡한 형태의 박막을 제조하는 것이 가능하게 되었다. 현재, GLAD 기술과 다양한 형태의 나노 조직을 이용하여 각종 센서는 물론 태양전지와 같은 에너지 소자, 필터와 같은 광학코팅 등에 응용하기 위한 연구가 세계적으로 폭넓게 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 조직의 치밀도 향상을 통한 특성 향상을 위해 Al 및 TiN 박막을 제조함에 있어서 경사코팅 기술을 응용하여 단층 및 다층 피막(각도를 반대로 하여 여러 층을 제조)을 제조하고 그 특성을 비교하였다. Al 박막은 UBM (Un-Balanced Magnetron) 스퍼터링 소스를 이용하여 타겟 표면과 기판 표면이 이루는 각도 즉, 입사빔과 기판이 이루는 각도를 각각 0, 30, 45, 60 및 90도의 각도에서 강판 및 실리콘 웨이퍼 상에 시편을 제조하되 단층 및 다층으로 시편을 제조하고 치밀도 및 내식성과 반사율 및 조도 등의 특성을 비교하였다. 그 결과 경사각으로 코팅한 시편에서 조도 및 반사율이 향상됨은 물론 치밀도 및 내식성이 향상됨을 확인하였다. 특히, 염수분무에 의한 내식성 시험에서 경사 코팅된 시편의 경우 내식성이 현저히 향상되었는데, 이는 경사 코팅 방법이 박막의 치밀도를 향상시켜 나타난 현상으로 판단된다. TiN 박막은 Cathodic Arc 방식을 이용하되 Al 박막과 동일한 방법으로 코팅을 하고 내식성 및 경도 등의 특성을 비교하였다. TiN 박막은 경사각이 커지면서 경도가 낮아지며 특히 다층막의 경우 경도 감소가 현저함을 알 수 있었다. 다만, 45도에서는 다른 경사각에 비해 약간의 경도 상승이 측정되었다. 경사각 코팅에서의 경도 감소는 피막의 경사에 의해 탐침이 미끄러지거나 또는 우선 방위에 의한 경도 증가 효과가 나타나지 않아 생기는 현상으로 판단되었다. Ferroxyl 시험을 이용한 기공도 시험에서는 경사각 코팅의 경우가 기공이 다소 감소함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose a rotational motion compensation(RMC) for bistatic inverse synthetic aperture radar(Bi-ISAR) imaging. For this purpose, geometry-error, caused by changes of bistatic-angle, is removed using known position information of a transmitter, a receiver, and target trajectories. Next, RMC is performed to compensate non-uniform rotational motion error by reformatting radar signal in terms of a newly defined slow time variable that converts non-uniform rotational motion into uniform one. Simulation results using an aircraft model composed of ideal point scatterers validate the efficacy of the proposed Bi-ISAR RMC method.
