In this paper proposes a study on the development of a multi-camera inline inspection system using machine vision for quality inspection of pharmaceutical containers. The proposed technique captures the pharmaceutical containers from multiple angles using several cameras, allowing for more accurate quality assessment. Based on the captured data, the system inspects the dimensions and defects of the containers and, upon detecting defects, notifies the user and automatically removes the defective containers, thereby enhancing inspection efficiency. The development of the multi-camera inline inspection system using machine vision is divided into four stages. First, the design and production of a control unit that fixes or rotates the containers via suction. Second, the design and production of the main system body that moves, captures, and ejects defective products. Third, the design and development of control logic for the embedded board that controls the entire system. Finally, the design and development of a user interface (GUI) that detects defects in the pharmaceutical containers using image processing of the captured images. The system's performance was evaluated through experiments conducted by a certified testing agency. The results showed that the dimensional measurement error range of the pharmaceutical containers was between -0.30 to 0.28 mm (outer diameter) and -0.11 to 0.57 mm (overall length), which is superior to the global standard of 1 mm. The system's operational stability was measured at 100%, demonstrating its reliability. Therefore, the efficacy of the proposed multi-camera inline inspection system using machine vision for the quality inspection of pharmaceutical containers has been validated.

PCBs had numerous uses such as hydraulic fluid, heat exchange fluid, sealant, lubricant, and carbonless copy paper. They are most likely found in electric utilities, power stations, industrial facilities, electronic manufacturing plants, petrochemical plants, railroad systems, electric equipment repair facilities, mining sites (active or abandoned), and military camps. Due to its outstanding chemical and thermal stabilities and electrical insulation properties, the commercial and industrial products of PCBs, such as Aroclors, Kaneclors, Clophens, Phenaclors etc., had been widely used as thermal oil and transformer oil from 1930s until the 1970s. The transformer oils were analyzed as a main source of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) emission into the environment. Qualitative estimation of oil extracts as carried out with Aroclor 1242, 1248, 1254, 1260. The transformer oils contained the pure and mixed of Aroclor 1242, Aroclor 1254, and Aroclor 1260. Also, commercial screening kit of 20 ppm and 50 ppm were applied to the transformer oil samples.

Complex formation between ferric ion and phosphoric acid has been studied in the wide range of the acid concentration(0${\sim}40{\%}$) by uv-visible spectroscopy and by characterization of the isolated products. The electronic spectra of Fe(III)-containing phosphoric acid solutions exhibit two visible bands at 19.2 and 24.1 kK, which are characteristic of Fe(III)-phosphate complex formation. The measurements of acid concentration dependence of the opical density of the 24.1 kK band indicates the presence of two distinct forms of Fe(Ⅲ)-phosphate complexes possibly $[Fe(H_xPO_4)]^{x+}\;and\;[Fe_2 (H_xPO_4)]^{(3+x)+}$. The 1:1 complex has been isolated for characterization, and the phosphate ion was found to be coordinated to the metal in monobasic state whereas the isolation of the dimeric species was unsuccessful.

As a primary material for MLCC, $BaTiO_3$ particles coated with two additives in a core-shell structure were prepared in this study. This composite powder can not only reduce the VOC emission during MLCC manufacture but also increase the density and reliability of electronic products. The additives were $Y_2O_3$ and $MnCO_3$, whose composition information was obtained from domestic companies. It was observed that the surface of $BaTiO_3$ particles was uniformly as well as simultaneously coated by those two materials via urea-decomposition reaction over $70^{\circ}C$ as the reaction temperature. Elemental analysis indicated that the measured content of each additve was quite close to the designated value. The effect of polymeric dispersant such as PVP, on the coating characteristics was not as significant as expected.

The Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Agriculture, Fishery and Forestry, and Ministry of Construction, Transportation and Maritime Affairs are in charge of livestock manure management. There are national statistics regarding the livestock industry such as the National Pollution Source Survey, Livestock Statistic Survey, and Livestock-breeding Trend Survey. The current statistical data are focused on the scale of livestock breeding and the production of livestock manure using these data, but it is difficult to establish database due to lack of information. In order to plan relevant policies including management of livestock manure, the government established database systems such as the integrated information system of livestock manure, the integrated system of national infectious animal-disease prevention, and the Sae-ol public administrative system. We have tried to suggest improvements for the comprehensive environmental information system of livestock manure management by detecting problems in each level of the livestock manure life-cycle, making use of the existing systems, and considering the electronic transfer system of livestock manure. The services and functions of this comprehensive system include information of livestock farmers, the production, collection, transportation, and treatment of livestock manure, the area of agricultural land used for livestock manure, the report of approval and results on livestock manure products, management of statistical information, management of civil affairs, and relevant mobile application services. The system is made up of three processes: first, establishment of GIS-based management database of livestock manure; second, establishment of a history management system for livestock manure transactions; and third, development of a water quality assessment system.

Liquid silicone rubber(LSR) has been applied to various products such as electronic devices owing to its excellent thermal and chemical resistance. Hyperelastic materials, however, have properties distinguished from general metal materials. Hyperelastic materials show elastic behaviors in the range of large deformation in which load has the nonlinear relation with deformation. In addition, they have characteristics of nonlinearity, incompressibility, in large scale. On account of such characteristics, there are many difficulties in design and production using these materials. In this study, the load-deformation relation obtained from tension and compression tests was applied to finite element analysis in order to design waterproof connectors for automobiles. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the finite element analysis was confirmed by comparing the results of analysis with those of performance tests.

As smart home network services such as home CCTV, outdoor control of home appliances, home security and disaster prevention services become popular, there appear various affiliated products including smart home gateway and smart speaker. Since those services are generally developed on the vendors' individual hardware and software platforms, it is not much expected for them to interwork well among different architecture and communication methods. In this paper, we propose a new home network service system running on an open source platform to address such issues. We implemented a home network system using OpenWRT-based wireless router(or access point) and Zigbee communication technology. In the proposed system, a wireless router replaces a commercial home gateway and small control units implemented with Arduino control electronic devices and sensors in home. Several service scenarios are also implemented to verify the operability of the proposed system.

On-line education is activated in many knowledge domains and institutions, the effectiveness is under the question. Even though the role of e-moderator for on-line course is very important, but this role has been abandoned both by instructor and course administrator. On the other hand, open source solutions have made it possible to implement on-line for free of charge, but not many people know how to use it. This paper describes how to install open source on-line learning environment and how to administrate learning by being a good e-moderator. Moodle is selected as an implementing LMS(Learning Management System). The environment is installed and serving well for teaching two engineering education subjects: JAVA and Electrical Machines. The practical tips for installment and administration are presented with examples.

The enhancement for cooling performance of heat sink is surely necessary to guarantee the performance of electronic products. So in this paper, the cooling performances of the aluminum heat sink with pulsating heat pipe(PHP) were investigated experimentally and numerically. The pulsating heat pipe was used as a heat spreader. Working fluid of PHP was R-22. Heat inputs were 30W, 60W, 80W and 100W, respectively. Heat sink was tested for forced convection conditions with air velocity of 1 ~ 4m/s. And CFD simulations were conducted for two different heat sinks. The results showed that the cooling performance of heat sink with pulsating heat pipe was higher than that of conventional heat sink. Therefore, the pulsating heat pipe can be a good tool to improve cooling performance of heat sink.
