  • An active omni-directional raging system using an omni-directional vision with structured light has many advantages compared to the conventional ranging systems: robustness against external illumination noise because of the laser structured light and computational efficiency because of one shot image containing $360^{\circ}$ environment information from the omni-directional vision. The omni-directional range data represents a local distance map at a certain position in the workspace. In this paper, we propose a matching algorithm for the local distance map with the given global map database, thereby to localize a mobile robot in the global workspace. Since the global map database consists of line segments representing edges of environment object in general, the matching algorithm is based on relative position and orientation of line segments in the local map and the global map. The effectiveness of the proposed omni-directional ranging system and the matching are verified through experiments.

  • We report solution-processed organic trilayer solar cells consisting of poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), a conjugated polyelectrolyte (CPE) and [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), wherein the effect CPE layer thickness on device properties was investigated. The current-voltage characteristics under illumination and dark as well as photoluminescence were characterized using various concentrations (0.02, 0.1, and 0.3wt%) of to deposit the CPE interlayer between the donor and acceptor layers. We also investigated the influence of molecular dipole moments in the trilayer solar cells by external stimuli. These results provide an experimental approach for investigating the influence of interfacial dipoles on solar cell parameters when placed between the donor and acceptor and allow us to obtaining fundamental information about the donor/acceptor interface in organic solar cells.

  • A new concept of forming self-aligned multidomains is used for fabricating wide-viewing liquid crystal displays (LCDs) with periodic surface gratings.An array of the periodic surface gratings is produced on substrates using a photosensitive polymer by the illumination o. the UV light through a patterned photomask. A multidomain structure is naturally formed on the grating surface by the initial director distortions together with continuous variations of an external electric field. The LCD cells with periodic surface gratings are found to show excellent extinction in the off-state and wide-viewing property m the on-state.

  • The properties of thin film solar cells based on electrodeposited $CuIn(Se,S)_2$ were investigated. The proposed solar cell fabrication method involves a single-step $CuInSe_2$ thin film electrodeposition followed by sulfurization in a tube furnace to form a $CuIn(Se,S)_2$ quaternary phase. A sulfurization temperature of $450-550^{\circ}C$ significantly affected the performance of the $CuIn(Se,S)_2$ thin film solar cell in addition to its composition, grain size and bandgap. Sulfur(S) substituted for selenium(Se) at increasing rates with higher sulfurization temperature, which resulted in an increase in overall band gap of the $CuIn(Se,S)_2$ thin film. The highest conversion efficiency of 3.12% under airmass(AM) 1.5 illumination was obtained from the $500^{\circ}C$-sulfurized solar cell. The highest External Quantum Efficiency(EQE) was also observed at the sulfurization temperature of $500^{\circ}C$.

  • This paper describes fabrication of a micro cell counter integrated with an oxygen micropump and counting experiment with Sephadex G-25 beads ($70{\sim}100\;{\mu}m$). The pumping part consisted of a microheater, catalyst (manganese dioxide) enveloped with paraffin, hydrogen peroxide, and microchannel, and the counting part consisted of collimated light, a microwindow, and a phototransistor including an external circuit. The micropump generated oxygen gas by decomposing hydrogen peroxide with manganese dioxide, which was initiated by melting the paraffin with the microheater, and pumped beads in the microchannel. When the beads passed the microwindow, they shaded the collimated light and changed the illumination on the phototransistor, which caused the current variation in the circuit. The signals, according to the bead size, reached up to 22 mV with noise level of 2 mV during 50 seconds and the numbers of peaks were analyzed by magnitude.

  • 본 논문에서는 다양한 조명하에서 실시간으로 눈을 검출하고 추적하는 새로운 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 기존의 능동적 적외선을 이용한 눈 검출 및 추적 방법은 외부의 조명에 매우 민감하게 반응하는 문제점을 가지고 있으므로, 본 논문에서는 적외선 조명을 이용한 밝은 동공 효과와 전형적인 외형을 기반으로 한 사물 인식 기술을 결합하여 외부 조명의 간섭으로 밝은 동공 효과가 나타나지 않는 경우에도 견실하게 눈을 검출하고 추적 할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 눈 검출과 추적을 위해 SVM과 평균 이동 추적방법을 사용하였고, 적외선 조명과 카메라를 포함한 영상 획득 장치를 구성하여 제안된 방법이 효율적으로 다양한 조명하에서 눈 검출과 추적을 할 수 있음을 보여 주었다.

  • Memristor devices are one of the most promising candidate approaches to next-generation memory technologies. Memristive switching phenomena usually rely on repeated electrical resistive switching between non-volatile resistance states in an active material under the application of an electrical stimulus, such as a voltage or current. Recent reports have explored the use of variety of external operating parameters, such as the modulation of an applied magnetic field, temperature, or illumination conditions to activate changes in the memristive switching behaviors. Among these possible choices of signal controlling factors of memristor, photon is particularly attractive because photonic signals are not only easier to reach directly over long distances than electrical signal, but they also efficiently manage the interactions between logic devices without any signal interference. Furthermore, due to the inherent wave characteristics of photons, the facile manipulation of the light ray enables incident light angle controlled memristive switching. So that, in the tautological sense, device orienting position with regard to a photon source determines the occurrence of memristive switching as well. To demonstrate this position controlled memory device functionality, we have fabricated a metal-semiconductor-metal memristive switching nanodevice using ZnO nanorods. Superhydrophobicity employed in this memristor gives rise to illumination direction selectivity as an extra controlling parameter which is important feature in emerging. When light irradiates from a point source in water to the surface treated device, refraction of light ray takes place at the water/air interface because of the optical density differences in two media (water/air). When incident light travels through a higher refractive index medium (water; n=1.33) to lower one (air; n=1), a total reflection occurs for incidence angles over the critical value. Thus, when we watch the submerged NW arrays at the view angles over the critical angle, a mirror-like surface is observed due to the presence of air pocket layer. From this processes, the reversible switching characteristics were verified by modulating the light incident angle between the resistor and memristor.

  • Purpose: Recently, lighting energy consumption in buildings has been gradually increasing and more studies are being carried out in order to solve this problem. Especially, the efficiency of the light-shelf system, which is a natural lighting system, has been recognized as a potential solution in addressing this problem and so various studies regarding the light-shelf system are being conducted. However, if high luminance material is used for the light-shelf system, glaring may occur in certain circumstances even though such material increases efficiency, and there are also difficulties related to maintenance and management in the case of an external light-shelf system. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to suggest modifications in relation to the reflectivity of the light-shelf system and introduce a rolling type light-shelf system with built-in cleaning equipment. In addition, a performance evaluation technique was established to verify its effectiveness. Method: In this study, we reviewed previous studies related to the light-shelf system and its performance. Then a testbed was established to assess the performance of the rolling-type light-shelf system suggested in this study. Also, the performance of the rolling-type light-shelf system suggested in this study was compared and analyzed with that of existent light-shelf systems in order to better verify the performance, and the uniformity ratio of illumination and lighting energy consumption were calculated for this purpose. Result: The results of the performance evaluation are as follows. 1) The performance evaluation result of the light-shelf system on the day of the summer solstice shows that $30^{\circ}$ is appropriate for the angle of light-shelf system, and the depth of the incoming natural light also increases as the angle of the light shelf increases. 2) It is possible to improve the uniformity ratio of illumination by increasing the reflectivity of the light shelf, and the reason for this is the increase in the amount of incoming light entering indoors due to the increased reflectivity of the light shelf. 3) The rolling type light-shelf system suggested in this study enables energy saving in comparison with existent light-shelf systems, and when the external illuminance decreases to 60,000 lx and 40,000 lx during the summer solstice due to factors such as the weather, the suggested light-shelf system can save energy by 12.1% and 5.1% respectively. Thus the light-shelf system proposed in this study is deemed to be effective in reducing energy costs.

  • Modbus는 각종 자동화 장비 감시 및 제어에 전 세계적으로 널리 사용되고 있는 자발적 산업표준 통신 프로토콜이다. 그러므로 선박, 빌딩, 기차, 비행기 등 Modbus를 이용하는 모든 장비들과 연결이 가능하여 환경변수의 측정 및 원격제어가 가능하게 된다. 기존의 Modbus는 Serial 통신을 기반으로 사용되어 왔으며, Modbus TCP는 오늘날 인터넷 프로토콜로 가장 많이 쓰이는 TCP/IP를 기반인 Ethernet 통신을 이용하므로 Serial 통신에 비해 빠르고 사물인터넷(Internet of Things) 환경에 연결이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 Modbus TCP 통신 프로토콜을 이용하여 무선 Wi-Fi 환경에서 LED 조명을 제어하기 위한 알고리즘을 설계하고, 선박의 통합관리 시스템에서 외부 환경요인 확인 및 원격제어가 가능한 LED 제어기 회로를 설계 및 구현 하였다. 외부 환경요소인 온도, 습도, 전류, 조도 값들은 센서를 통해 제어기로 받아들이며 이 값들은 Modbus 프로토콜을 통해 선박의 통합관리 시스템에 알리게 된다. Modbus는 TCP 통신으로 Master 기기와 연결 되어 온도, 습도, 전류, 조도 상태 모니터링 및 LED 출력 값 확인이 가능하고 또한 사용자가 원격으로 RGB 값을 변경할 수 있기 때문에 원하는 색으로 변경이 가능하게 된다. 제작한 제어기의 구현 확인을 위해 모의 선박 관리 시스템을 만들어 온도, 습도, 전류, 조도 상태를 모니터링 하고, 원격으로 RGB 값을 변경 하여 제어기의 LED 조명색상이 변화 되는 것을 확인 하였다.
