We herein analyze and study the shielding effectiveness characteristic of an open conveyor-belt-type microwave dryer that is widely used in industry. In particular, the electromagnetic wave leakage problem of the open-type conveyor belt dryer using a general-purpose 2.45-GHz magnetron was improved by applying the corrugated rectangular waveguide. We conducted the electromagnetic simulation of the optimal shielding effectiveness characteristic with regard to the proposed waveguide structure to analyze the attenuation characteristics of the corrugated rectangular waveguide. To verify the shielding effectiveness characteristic of the fabricated corrugated rectangular waveguide by IEEE standard 299, we achieved the shielding effectiveness of more than 30 dB in the practical microwave dryer with the proposed corrugated rectangular waveguide.

Consumption of chicken feet has been increasing recently, thus it was necessary to produce good quality of bone less chicken feet. In the process of bone removal during chicken feet production, feeding, conveying, cutting and bone removing process takes about 90% of overall labor. Therefore, the development of a chicken feet-bone remover was necessary to reduce the cost of labor. The main objective of this study was to make and test of chicken feet-bone remover. The optimum vibration level of feeder wes 8, and the optimum conveyor speed was 3.6 m/min. The feeding speed of feeder were 0.18 m/s, 0.13 m/s and 0.19 m/s for the weight ranges of chicken feet of >20 g, 20~30 g and 30 g< respectively. The sensing success rates of chicken feet were 100%, 98% and 96% for the conveyor speeds of 3.0, 3.6 and 4.2 m/min respectively. The slips of chicken feet were 1.0 mm, 1.9 mm and 3.2 mm for conveyor speed of 0.8, 1.9 and 4.2 m/min respectively, with the average moisture content of 65% (w.b). The incision accuracy rates of the chicken leg were 46%, 95%, 97% for the size ranges of >15 mm, 15~18 mm, 18 mm< respectively with the velocity of cutting blade 3.9 m/s. The removal rates of the chicken feet bone were 98%, 96%, 88% for toes diameter >10 mm, 10~15 mm, 15 mm> respectively with the velocity of cutting blade 11.8 m/s.

In the splay manufacturing process, conveyor systems are widely used for conveying panels. In this conveyor, a large number of grounding lines are used in order to prevent a product failure due to static electricity. In many cases, the grounding line is disconnected due to the rotation of the transporting roller or curling, leading to product failure. In order to solve such a problem, there is a growing need for a system capable of detecting disconnection of a ground wire in real time. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a disconnection monitoring system of ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) ground wire caused by friction between the conveyor drive part and the panel. The proposed system is a monitoring system that can detect disconnection and disconnection of ground wire using ATmega 2560 and Wheatstone Bridge circuit. It can detect disconnection of ground wire immediately and can take measures to reduce the defect rate due to static electricity. The system proposed in this paper is expected to be applicable to the production and test equipments of all industries where the ground wire is used.

Flow field in a roller conveyor system, induced from the movement of a cassette in which glasses for flat panel display are loaded, is numerically studied in this paper. Contamination on the glass surface by dust particles produced from mechanical friction between roller and cassette is predicted from the analysis results of flow fields. Results show that a large swirl flow is formed under the moving cassette with constant speed. This swirl flow is confined only under the cassette because two main streams from the backward and the fan filter unit on the top ceiling are sufficiently strong. Therefore, it can be said that possibility of the contamination by the particles originated from the friction is relatively low. It is also revealed that flow direction between glass plates is changed according to the speed of the cassette movement due to the shear force of glass plates.

This study proposes a technique for the determination of outlet blockage using deep learning in a conveyor system. The proposed method aims to apply the best model to the actual process, where we train various CNN models for the determination of outlet blockage using images collected by CCTV in an industrial scene. We used the well-known CNN model such as VGGNet, ResNet, DenseNet and NASNet, and used 18,000 images collected by CCTV for model training and performance evaluation. As a experiment result with various models, VGGNet showed the best performance with 99.03% accuracy and 29.05ms processing time, and we confirmed that VGGNet is suitable for the determination of outlet blockage.

Characteristics of a wireless sensor powered by the IDE (interdigitated electrode) embedded piezoelectric cantilever generator were analyzed in order to evaluate its potential for use in wireless sensor applications. The IDE embedded piezoelectric cantilever was designed and fabricated to have a self-resonance frequency of 126 Hz and acceleration of 1.57 G, respectively, for the mechanical resonance with a practical conveyor system in a thermal-power plant. It produced maximum output power of 2.81 mW under the resistive load of $160{\Omega}$ at 126 Hz. The wireless sensor module is electrically connected to a rectifier capacitor with capacity of 0.68 farad and 3.8 V for power supply by the piezoelectric cantilever generator. The unloaded capacitor could be charged as a rate of approximately $365{\mu}V/s$ while the capacitor exhibited that of 0.997 mV/min. during communication under low duty cycle of 0.2%. Therefore, it is considered that the fabricated IDE embedded piezoelectric cantilever generator can be used for wireless sensor applications.

This paper proposes a method for detecting faults in conveyor systems used for transportation of raw materials needed in the thermal power plant and cement industries. A small drone was designed in consideration of the difficulty in accessing the industrial site and the need to use it in wide industrial site. In order to apply the system to the embedded microprocessor, hardware and algorithms considering limited memory and execution time have been proposed. At this time, the failure determination method measures the peak frequency through the measurement, detects the continuity of the high frequency, and performs the failure diagnosis with the high frequency components of noise. The proposed system consists of experimental environment based on the data obtained from the actual thermal power plant, and it is confirmed that the proposed system is useful by conducting virtual environment experiments with the drone designed system. In the future, further research is needed to improve the drone's flight stability and to improve discrimination performance by using more intelligent methods of fault frequency.

In this study, a real-sized experimental equipment (pilot plant) was built at the site based on the preliminary research data to develop a movable separator for the mixed construction waste that can be implemented in agricultural areas to review its feasibility through the evaluation of its separation efficiency by waste types. The final construction of the movable separator and experimental results of the separation efficiency are summarized as follows. 1) The separation performance according to the blade type was the best for the combustible wastes either with 26 numbers of L-type blades and 32 numbers of pin type blades. As far as combination of blade types, when the L-type and pin-type were combined, the best separation efficiency was achieved. 2) The separation efficiency for waste wood by the conveyor type and angle of inclination (slope) of the trommel was the best when the conveyor had ribs of seagull shape with the angle of inclination 45°. 3) The separation efficiencies by process showed that 65.9% was separated as inorganic demolition wastes, 18.2% as waste woods, and 16.0% as combustible wastes at conveyor speed of 2-3 rpm, and the error rate was the least from the waste types generated in the dismantle site.

In this paper, we proposes a method of optimizing the processing order of skids to minimize the span time in a conveyor environment of the shipbuilding subassembly process. The subassembly process consists of a series of fixed tasks where the required work time is varied according to the skid type. The loading order of skids on a conveyor which determines the span time should be properly optimized and the problem size exponentially increases with the number of skids. In this regard, we propose a novel method called UniDev by defining a measure of the mean-absolute-deviation about the time difference among simultaneously processed tasks and iteratively improving it. Through simulations with various numbers of skids and processes, it was observed that our proposed method can efficiently reduce the overall work time compared with the multi-start and the 2-OPT methods.
