The ZigBee communication method, which is the most frequently applied to the LED lighting control system, has drawbacks of low-speed and low-capacity, and the communication failure possibility due to environmental influences is on the rise. Therefore, it is important to secure the communication reliability by applying an integrated interface with a wire-wireless dual-network. This paper developed a communication module, which has a platform converging and combining the ZigBee of USN environments with the PLC of power line communication environments, to implement a dualized communication interface system supporting the wire-wireless integrated protocol, and implemented a wire-wireless networking device and a control system software technology. As a result, it was automatically switched into the PLC communication within 4.4 seconds on average when there was an access failure in the ZigBee communication network, so a reliable communication network was built.

A reconfigurable lighting engine for widely used lighting models is proposed for low-power GPU shaders. Conventionally, lighting operations that involve many complex arithmetic operations were calculated by the shader programs on the GPU, which led to a significant energy overhead. In this letter, we propose a lighting engine to improve the energy-efficiency by supporting the widely used advanced lighting models in hardware. It supports the Blinn-Phong, Oren-Nayar, and Cook-Torrance models, by exploiting the logarithmic arithmetic and optimizing the trigonometric function evaluations for the energy-efficiency. Experimental results demonstrate 12.7%, 42.5%, and 35.5% reductions in terms of power-delay product from the shader program implementations for each lighting model. Moreover, our work shows 10.1% higher energy-efficiency for the Blinn-Phong model compared to the prior art.

This paper presents information about the examples of the design on Illumination of Structures(LED Light Pipe for lighthouse) in Korea. We have applied illumination by flood-lighting or facade-lighting in place of the 57 lighthouses (offshore structures) and 4 beacons. The ways of illumination of structures are using direct illumination with LED, halogen lamps and metal halide lamps, and indirect illumination with LED non-neon lamps. The illumination of structures helps a observer to identify the Aids to Navigation and w aterway. The fabricated LED Light Pipe is a transparent acrylic round bar and easy to install. The Light Pipe is arranged in two rows of L ED (78ea). It can be connected in series. It has 4 colours(Red, Green, Yellow, White). We analyzed and the horizontal divergence angle of the LED light pipe is defined as the range with 50% of maximum luminous intensity. Also, we evaluated the conspicuity on the origin al lantern and LED Light pipe for lighthouse. The field experiment was conducted in 'Yeosuguhang lighthouse' in Yeosu-city (Korea). F rom the experimental results, it was confirmed that the fabricated LED Light Pipe is clearly distinguished.

Module of the LED traffic signal is the core component for the care of driver and walker. Also it is important one to control the traffic. If it is against the criteria of brightness, it is the source of the people's death and traffic congestion. Therefore, it is a list of articles desired the security of stability. However, there is not the analysis of failure and not preserve the uniformity of quality. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the criteria of appreciation for the module of the LED traffic signal to analysis the data of failure. In this paper, we investigate the performance test, environment field test and test of reliability appreciation to improve the reliability. We also set up the criteria of success decision using the real measurement data.

This research suggested a draft proposal for a smart jacket design, which has applied wearable technologies to provide convenience in daily life. The smart jacket combined with a vest was the casual item for autumn and winter. The heating device was composed of the heating element, battery, controller, electric wire, connector, switch, and charger. A stable electronic conductor fiber of good heating effect with a flexible zigzag form has been selected for the heating element. The lighting device has been made in a way that attaches the LED and its power controller in the same mechanical device. As the result of the wearing test, the heating effect turned out to be effective in the order of: back, both the back and abdomen and only the abdomen. When wearing a smart jacket, the back and abdomen have been selected as favorable body parts for heating. Pockets and hems are selected as the adequate place to attach the LED lighting, and the brightness of LED lighting has turned out to be suitable and useful. Based on the test results, the first draft proposal has attached the heating element only in the back and its controller located in the inside pocket of the vest. In addition, the LED has been attached to the front pocket of the jacket. As to the second draft proposal, heating elements have been placed in the back and the abdomen. Each controller for the heating elements has been placed in the front and inside pocket of vest, and the LED lighting has been attached to the hem of the jacket. The smart jacket combined with a wearable device was assessed by functioning categories. The user showed a high satisfaction in the heating and illuminating function of a smart jacket.

온실가스와 지구촌 온난화, 그리고 이를 치유하기 위한 인간의 노력과 필요한 대안기술은 마치 성난 자연을 잠재우기 위한 노력과 그에 필요한 재원을 동원하기보다도 더 어려운 일인가보다. 한정된 화석연료는 수십 년 내에 고갈될 수밖에 없으며, 국제무대에서 나라마다 자원을 확보하려는 외교활동의 치열함은 마치 자원 확보를 위한 전쟁을 방불케 하는 모습이다. 화석연료의 고갈은 친환경 녹색성장이라는 새로운 대안정책을 불러왔고, 태양에너지 활용을 위한 태양전지기술은 날로 발전을 거듭하고 있으며, 이와 함께 세상을 밝혀주기 위한 조명광기술은 석유등, 백열등으로부터 발광다이오드에 이르러 첨단 광역시장을 이루었다. 따라서 이들을 탄생시킨 반도체기술로부터 태양전지와 발광다이오드를 접목시켜 일체화시킨 SOLAR-LED 시스템과 함께 저탄소녹색조명의 동굴응용 기술을 조명한다.

본 논문에서는, 실내 환경 LED-ID 통신 시스템에서의 고속 데이터 전송을 위한 라인코딩 기법에 대해 연구하였다. LED-ID 기술은 LED를 통해 방사되는 가시광을 이용한 차세대 통신 시스템으로, 유비쿼터스 네트워크 서비스 구축 시 에너지 절감 효과를 가져올 수 있다. 또한 LED-ID 통신 시스템은 기존 인프라를 활용하여 고출력 전송이 가능하며 유지 보수 비용을 절감할 수 있다. 그러므로, 기존 RF 시스템에 비해 실내 무선 통신 구축에 있어서 다양한 장점을 가진다. 이러한 장점을 바탕으로, 본 논문에서는 실내 환경의 LED-ID 통신 채널을 분석하고, 분석된 채널에 적합한 라인 코딩 (NRZ, AMI, 4B5B, HDB3, 8B10B)을 도출하여 고속 데이터 전송을 실현하고자 한다.

차세대 친환경 조명인 LED소자는 온도가 올라갈수록 LED의 발광효율이 떨어지고 $80^{\circ}C$이상 올라갈수록 수명이 감소하고 스펙트럼선의 파장이 본래의 파장보다 장파장 쪽으로 이동하는 Red Shift현상 및 $T_j$ 상승에 따라 광 출력이 감소되는 큰 문제점이 대두되고 있어 열을 최소화 할 수 있는 방열설계 연구가 진행 중이다. COB Type LED의 경우 보드에 LED 칩을 직접 결합시켜 열 저항을 낮췄지만 주거용 13.5W의 경우 방열판을 통해 발열 문제를 해결해야한다. 본 논문에서는 주거용 13.5W COB LED 다운라이트에 맞게 Heat Sink를 설계하고, 그 설계한 Heat Sink와 13.5W COB를 패키징하여 Solidworks flow simulation을 통해 최적의 Fin두께를 선정하여 접촉식 온도계를 사용한 열적 특성을 분석 하고 평가 하였다.
