Currently offshore fisheries are one of shrinking industries and fishermen are getting older. Moreover it is difficult to work fisheries for decreasing fishermen as the time goes. Two people per a boat work together at least for proper fisheries. If the unskilled fisherman boards on boat, it will make some troubles to speak each other and diminish the efficiency of working because one person should control the boat. So it need to study the remote control system for leasure and outboard engine that can control and work at the same time. The remote control system is consisted of engine, steering gear and forward reverse neutral gear controls. These three controls are made by position and speed control using DC motor, and microcontroller is used to control the engine speed and rudder angle. This system can be controled and worked alone and we tested the system at sea and confirmed that the system works properly.

This paper presents a simple digital LCD backlight inverter using a single-chip microcontroller. The proposed inverter reduces the ignition voltage and eliminates the current spikes and hence improves the ignition behavior of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp(CCFL). Thus it increases the CCFL's life span. This is achieved by implementing a digital dimming control algorithm, that contains the soft-starting algorithm, all on a single-chip microcontroller. The inverter utilizes the full-bridge resonant circuit topology. The design example along with a simple analysis for the inverter is shown, and the experimental results of the designed prototype results in close agreement with the theoretical analysis and explanation. The overall system's power efficiency is approximately 85%. Compared with conventional inverters, the ignition voltage is reduced by around 30% without any lamp current spike occurring during the dimming control operation.

In this paper, the function of starting the negative voltage used in the IT equipment when it is generated and the method of controlling it using a microcontroller for the function to detect the overload and respond to it are presented. To do this, the limitations of the existing negative voltage generation circuit and the problems that occur during overload were analyzed, and a circuit that detects and controls the overload condition without a separate current sensing circuit was presented. In order to confirm the effect of the proposed method, an experiment was conducted by configuring an experimental circuit. As a result of the experiment, compared to the existing negative voltage generation circuit, which falls into a latch-up state when overloaded and enters a dangerous state, the proposed circuit detects this, stop the operation of the circuit, and informs the user of such an abnormal state to take action. have. In addition, since the starting point of the circuit is determined according to the system state, the experimental result was confirmed that the starting time was significantly shortened by about 23% compared to the time switch method.

Electrical fire in residential, commercial, and industrial areas occupies 40 percent of overall fire accidents as of the year of 1994. The causes of most electrical fires were studied and, based on this investigation, the principle of the early detection or prediction of the electrical fires is developed. The basic principle is to early detect electrical arcs or sparks caused by faulty connections and insulation failures. the structure of the prediction system based on microcontroller technique is presented.

Flow cytometry is an electrical detection system that provides precise and diverse optical properties to cells and micro particles. Flow cytometry, which provides multidimensional information including cell size and granularity through light scattering and fluorescence emission generated by the induction of light of a specific wavelength to the fluorescently treated cells or micro particles, plays an important role in biomedical and biophysical fields. However, it has some drawbacks such as high cost, size of the instrument and limitation in selecting fluorescent dyes. Therefore, in this paper, a low cost compact fluorescent detection system is developed using light-emitting diode and microcontroller. The proposed fluorescence detection system has a replaceable the light source/fluorescence filter/photodetector and constructed by 3D printer, so that the user can design a customized system according to the selected fluorescent dyes. The fluorescence intensity was measured by varying the number of fluorescently labeled cells, and the measured intensities showed a high linearity within the tested concentration ranges.

This paper presents the practical implementation of an over-temperature protection system for power semiconductor devices. In the proposed system, temperature variation is provided with just using $R_{ds(on)}$ characteristics of power MOSFET, while extra device such as a temperature sensor or an over-temperature detection transistor is needed to monitor the temperature in the conventional method. The proposed protection technique is experimentally tested on IRF840 power MOSFET. The PIC microcontroller PIC16F877A is used for the implementation of the proposed protection algorithm. The built-in 10-bit A/D converter is utilized for detecting voltage variance between a drain and a source of IRF840. The induced temperature-resistance relationship based on the measured drain-source voltage, supplies a gate signal to the power MOSFET. If detected temperature's voltage exceeds any a protection temperature's voltage, the microcontroller removes the trigger signal from the power MOSFET. These test results showed satisfactory performances of the proposed protection system in term of accuracy within 1.5%.

Joint pain is generally a common disorder not only for the old aged people but also for the immunocompromised patients. The present proposed study reveals the presence of inflammatory diseases in joint generally diagnosed by removing synovial fluid and changes in the volume and composition are examined for the presence of WBC and crystals. This study implement a non-invasive approach to identify the changes in joint fluid by measuring the changes in electrical property of the synovial tissue under the influence of electrical current signal with frequency range between 100 kHz to 300 kHz. The response of tissue for the current signal was measured in terms of potential drop across the tissue. The hardware system design consists of input and output sections. The input section which applies current signal to upper limb joint region is made of ICL8038 function generator IC with amplifier and voltage to current converter. The output section picks voltage variation using metal surface electrode, amplifier, ADC, PIC microcontroller and LCD interface. 100 patient inclusive of normal and disease affected patients where examined for upper limb synovial fluid variation and inflammatory diseases were identified.
