This paper is about the development of automatic FPC(flexible printed circuit) punching instrument for the improvement of working condition and cost saving. FPC is used to detect the contact position of keyboard and button like a cellular phone. Depending on the quality of the printed ink and position of reference punching point to the FPC, the resistance and current are varied to the malfunctioning values. The size of reference punching point is 2mm and the above. Because the punching operation Is done manually, the accuracy of the punching degree is varied with operator's condition. To improve this manual punch ing operation to the FPC, automatic FPC punching system is introduced. Test algorithms and programs showed good results to the designed automatic punching system and led to the increasement of productivity and huge cost down to law material like FPC by avoiding bad quality.

에너지 절약형 광원의 대체와 아울러 최적 운용 기술의 개발만이 건축조명부분에 대한 에너지 절약의 잠재력을 현실화 시킬 수 있다고 판단된다. 광원의 효율을 향상시키는 것은 기술적인 한계와 많은 개발시간이 요구되는 반면에 조명제어의 최적화 기술은 많은 기술이 개발되어 사용되고 있는 상황이므로, 보다 지능적이고 복합적인 시스템 차원에서 효율을 높이기 위한 노력들이 이루어지고 있다. 특히 상업용 건물이나 사무소건물에 있어 고효율 형광등과 전자식 안정기의 도입이후에 에너지 절감방안의 대표적인 것은 조명제어라고 인식하고 있다. 본 연구에서 분석한 일반적인 사무소 공간의 경우, 주광과 인공조명을 통합제어할 때 담천공 조건에서 소등할 수 있는 주광의 유효 입사 거리는 창측에서 약 4[m]에서부터, 시간대에 따라 5[m]에 이르는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 실내에 설치된 인공 조명기구의 약 60[%] 이상이 소등될 수 있어 동일한 비율의 조명 에너지가 절감될 수 있는 잠재력을 나타낸다. 입사각과 태양광량의 상호 보완적 특성으로 인하여 주간 내내 일정한 주광의 유효거리가 확보되는 것으로 나타났다. 계절별 소등라인축의 이동범위는 실내에서 자연의 변화를 느끼게 해주는 정도의 바람직한 것으로 허용될 수 있을 것이며, 자연광에 가까운 광색을 가진 광원을 사용함으로써 쾌적한 조명을 유지할 수 있을 것이다.

A system design technique of automatic thickness measurement and defect inspection system, which measures the thickness of the ALC(Autoclaved Lightweight Concrete) block and inspects the defect on a realtime basis is proposed. The image processing system was established with a CCD camera, an image grabber, and a personal computer without using assembled measurement equipment. The image obtained by this system was analyzed by a devised algorithm, specially designed for the enhanced measurement accuracy. For the realization of the proposed algorithm, the preprocessing method that can be applied to overcome uneven lighting environment, an enhanced edge decision method using 8 edge-pairs with irregular and rough surface, the unit length decision method in uneven condition with rocking objects, and the curvature calibration method of camera using a constructed grid are developed. The experimental results, show that the required measurement accuracy specification is sufficiently satisfied using our proposed method.

For the realization of the proposed algorithm, a preprocessing method that can be applied to overcome uneven lighting environment, boundary decision method, unit length decision method in uneven condition with rocking objects, and a projection of region using pixel summation are developed. From our experimental results, we could find that the required measurement accuracy specification is sufficiently satisfied by using the proposed method.

There is a gradual increase in the need for energy charging in marine environments because of energy limitations experienced by electric ships and marine robots. Buoys are considered potential energy charging systems, but there are several challenges, which include the need to maintain a fixed position and avoid hazards, dock with ships and robots in order to charge them, be robust to actions by birds, ships, and robots. To solve these problems, this study proposes a smart buoy robot that has multiple thrusters, multiple docking and charging parts, a bird spike, a radar reflector, a light, a camera, and an anchor, and its mechanism is developed. To verify the performance of the smart buoy robot, the position control under disturbance due to wave currents and functional tests such as docking, charging, lighting, and anchoring are performed. Experimental results show that the smart buoy robot can operate under disturbances and is functionally effective. Therefore, the smart buoy robot is suitable as an energy charging system and has potential in realistic applications.

Recently, there are some outdoor floor advertising lighting devices as one of the active marketing methods. However, for outdoor use, there are many restrictions due to the Outdoor Advertisement Act, according to requiring high-output heat generation, waterproofing, and AC power, etc. The purpose of this study is to develop a Duo Light product optimized for indoor use through publicity and information guidance in normal times and automatic evacuation route guidance display in case of disaster, in conjunction with disaster safety. To that end, patent search and patent association analyses were conducted, and a comparative analysis with commercial products was conducted as a case study. In addition, prototypes were designed and produced through the review of operation principles, where field environment surveys and self-tests were conducted. Also, technology roadmaps were presented by preparing plans for expandability and advancement of products. For the analysis of technology commercialization, the feasibility of technology commercialization was examined through the analysis of Jolly's Model and Lean Canvas Model. The results of this study will be able to contribute to minimize human damage through the effective response to disasters, which can increase the effect of indoor advertising by using the proposed indoor floor advertising lighting device in advertising and disaster situations.

Automatic human face detection in a complex background is one of the difficult problems. In this paper, we propose an effective and robust automatic face detection approach that can locate the face region in natural scene images when the system is used as a pre-processor of a face recognition system . We use two natural and powerful visual cues, the skin color and the eyes. In the first step of the proposed system, the method based on the human skin color space by selecting flesh tone regions using normalized r-g space in color images. In the next step, we extract eye features by calculating moments and using geometrical face model. Experimental results demonstrate that the approach can efficiently detect human faces and satisfactory deal with the problems caused by bad lighting condition, skew face orientation.

This paper is about the development of Automatic FPC punching instrument. FPC(flexible printed circuit) is used to detect the contact position of K/B and button like a cellular phone. Depending on the quality of the printed ink and position of reference punching point to the FPC, the resistance and current are varied to the malfunctioning values. The size of reference punching point is 2mm and the above. Because the punching operation is done manually, the accuracy of the punching degree is varied with operator's condition. Recently, The punching accuracy has deteriorated severely to the 2mm punching reference hall so that assembly of the K/B has hardly done. To improve this manual punching operation to the FPC, automatic FPC punching system is introduced. Precise mechanical parts like a 5-step stepping motor and ball screw mechanism are designed and tested and low cost PC camera is used for the sake of cost down instead of using high quality vision systems for the FA. Test algorithm shows good results to the designed automatic punching system.

수많은 부품들로 구성되는 정보통신 기기들은 제조 시, 부품의 이상 유무를 정확히 판단하고 불량부품을 배제하는 것이 품질 개선을 위해 매우 중요하다. 최근 그 수요가 급격히 증가하고 있는 LCD의 경우, 제조 공정에서 LCD 패널을 보호하기 위해 외부 프레임을 합착하는 너트의 이상 유무를 판단하기 위해 인력에 의한 목시(目視)검사를 수행하고 있다. 생산이 급격히 확대되고 있는 이와 같은 장비의 부품 검사를 위한 자동화 시스템에 대한 필요성이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 LCD 프레임 제작 시에 삽입되는 너트의 불량 유무를 이미지 프로세싱을 이용하여 자동으로 검사하는 장비의 개발에 대하여 기술하였다. 개발된 시스템은 투입되는 너트의 나사선 개수, 피치 간 간격, 피치의 폭, 너트의 내경 측정을 자동으로 수행한다. 시스템의 고정밀도를 위해 고배율 렌즈와 교정 툴을 사용하고, 측정 결과 값을 일정하게 유지하기 위해 자동 광량 조절 조명을 제작하고, 자동 검사를 위한 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 개발 시스템을 실제 현장라인에 적용하여 에러율 측정을 통해 인력에 의한 검사보다 우수한 성능을 확인하였다.

Radiation noise due to EMI noise generated by the driving circuits of LED lighting devices in a medical imaging room was reduced by decreasing the noise source in the driving circuits and changing the number of corrections in EMI filters. Noise attenuation and filter changes enabled driving circuits that reduced the electromagnetic waves. Such circuits were efficiently designed by using capacitors and inverters in a given space. Therefore, the malfunction of radiation devices can be minimized by using EMI-reduction filter circuits, and reliable operation of medical devices can be expected by blocking electromagnetic waves.
