  • Variations in lettuce growth and quality were observed depending on the type of artificial light source. The RGB LED treatment resulted in thick leaf development, leading to higher fresh weight, dry weight, and relative growth rates. Two cultivars, "Tomalin" and "seonpunggold," exhibited increased anthocyanin content and dark red leaf color under conditions of RGB LED treatment. Additionally, they exhibited high chlorophyll content under conditions of RGB LED and RGBFR LED treatments. Particularly, under Red LED treatment, the plants showed elongated leaves with narrow widths, resulting in a higher leaf shape index and a tendency towards leaf curling. Therefore, RGB LED lighting which appropriately blends red, blue, and green lights, is more effective than single lighr sources at improving lettuce growth and quality.

  • Factory-style plant production systems of various kinds are the final goal of greenhouse production systems. These systems facilitate planning for constant productivity per unit area and labor under various outside weather conditions, although energy consumption is intensive. Physical environmental control in combination with biological control can replace the use of agricultural chemicals such as insecticides, herbicides and hormones to regulate plants. In this way, closed systems which do not use such agricultural chemicals are ideal for environmental conservation for the future. Nutrient components in plants can be regulafied by physical environmental control including nutrient solution control in hydroponics. Therefore, specific contents of nutrients for particular plants can be listed on the container and be used as the basis of customer choice in the future. Plant production systems can be classified into three types based on the type of lighting: natural lighting, supplemental lighting and completely artificial lighting (Plant Factory). The amount of energy consumption increases in this order, although the degree of weather effects is in the reverse order. In the addition to lighting, factory-style plant production systems consist of mechanized and automated systems for transplanting, environmental control, hydroponics, transporting within the facility, and harvesting. Space farming and development of pharmaceutical in bio-reactors are other applications of these types of plant production systems. Various kinds of state-of-art factory-style plant production systems are discussed in the present paper. These systems are, in general, rather sophisticated and mechaized, and energy consumption is intensive. Factory-style plant production is the final goal of greenhouse production systems and the possibilities for the future are infinte but not clear.

  • This study is aimed at suggesting information about technical choices for designing LED camping lights based on emotional lighting contents of integrated IOT and design areas which take a central role in creation and knowledge based industries and the procedure for materializing them. 'i-Light,' a portable LED camping light, is 'connected lighting' connecting men, space and emotion and a smart camping light based on IOT and emotional lighting contents. 'i-Light' has two functions. One is about lighting for adjusting color and color temperature naturally and the other is about safety for detecting harmful gases. 'i-Light' also has various emotional functions for experiencing interaction and taste of light. For the purpose, portable LED camping lights were designed, first of all, and then a highly color rendering/full-color lighting module, a smart sensor module and an IOT device platform were developed. In addition, efforts were made to establish detailed data about emotional lighting contents and to develop a Web application based on them. Finally, prototypes of portable LED camping lights were made to get a test bench and usability evaluation from related organizations. According to the results, all of 12 developed emotional lighting contents and three IOT safety sensors were suitable and prototypes were satisfactory. This paper will suggest a direction about actual technical choices for development of contents and products integrating artificial intelligence and big data and about the procedure for materializing them.

  • Because of their small mass, volume, solid state construction and long life, light-emitting diodes(LEDs) hold promises as a lighting source for intensive plant production system. Spectral characteristics and light intensity of LEDs were tested to investigate their feasibility as artificial lighting sources for growth and morphogenesis control in transplant production system. Blue, green, and red LEDs had a peak-emission wavelength at 442nm, 522nm, and 673nm, respectively. Their half width defined as the difference between upper and lower wavelength in the intensity equivalent to 50% of the maximum intensity showed 26nm, 41nm, and 74nm, respectively. Photosynthetic photon flux(PPE) at the distance of 9cm under the LEDs array was measured as $235{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ for red, $109{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ for green, and $75{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ for blue LEDs. At the same distance, green LEDs had the illuminance of 13,0001x, nine to ten times higher than those of red and blue LEDs. Red, green, and blue LEDs at a distance of 9cm had the irradiance of $46W{\cdot}m^{-2},\;19W{\cdot}m^{-2},\;8W{\cdot}m^{-2}$, respectively. Light intensity of blue, green, and red LEDs increased linearly in proportion to the magnitude of the current applied to the operating circuit. Thus the light intensity of LEDs was controlled by the applied current in operating circuit.

  • Tomato yield and harvest date were analyzed to examine the productivity of Single Truss Tomato Production System(STTPS) for four regions in Korea. It was found that the solar radiation was not sufficient to get the maximum tomato yield during the low light seasons. The difference of total annual yield between Suwon and Jinju regions was about 12kg.m$^{-2}$ . These results indicate that supplemental lights are needed to increase the yield. The availability of natural light should be considered in deciding the locations of tomato greenhouses. The harvest date could be adjusted by using supplemental lighting. The development and implementation of the lighting control strategies are required for reducing electricity expense.

  • Although design, color, and material are important elements in stage costumes, stage lightning also plays significant role in the presentation of stage costumes. Costumes color, material and perception can be significantly influenced by visual effects. Stage illumination can be arranged or managed so that colors are closely related to or enhanced or change the effects of costume colors on the runway or display at specific times. The results of this thesis are as follow; 1) Fabric tone, name, brightness, and chroma of colors were changed by the colors of stage lighting. 2) An achromatic color was changed to a chromatic color after being combined with colors of stage lighting. 3) Stage illuminations can make fabric, colors look similar to stage colors. 4) Plain satin silk fabric which reflects light shows high brightness and chroma after being influenced by stage lighting its shining effects and color changes were clear and apparent. 5) Velvet pile fabric which absorbs light shows low brightness and chroma after being influenced by stage lightning its shining effects and changes of colors were not clear and apparent. In conclusion, natural lights did not significantly influence fabric colors and perception, while artificial lights had wide range of effects on fabric colors and perception.

  • Various efforts have been made worldwide to respond to environmental problems such as climate change. Research on artificial intelligence (AI)-based energy management has been widely conducted as the most effective way to alleviate the climate change problem. In particular, buildings that account for more than 20% of the total energy delivered worldwide have been focused as a target for energy management using the building energy management system (BEMS). In this paper, we propose a multi-armed bandit (MAB)-based energy management algorithm that can efficiently decide the energy consumption level of the lighting system in each room of the building, while minimizing the discomfort levels of occupants of each room.

  • For a vessel to safely navigate on the ocean, it is required to check the vessel position as frequently as possible. When a vessel navigates oil the ocean or entering/leaving a port, the target area such as islands, points and mountain peak, etc. are used. However, when such target are not available or when vessel navigates in night time, installed artificial navigation aid facilities help successful vessel navigation. Light Wave Aid helps to confirm a position to the navigator directly and quickly. So, the synchronous light to display the accurate signal has wide applications. However, lantern domestic industry is small, and most of the products show non-compatibility. Consequently, this paper presents the synchronous lighting using UTC of GPS, which maintains compatibility with different lanterns. Also, by replacing conventional electric bulb with LED lamp, simple and efficient lighting system is obtained.
