Patent number: 9323967Abstract: There are provided a method and a system of pallet packing that generate information on an article to be loaded and a loading place of the article on a specific pallet by recognizing a 3D position on which articles are loaded on a pallet, and a method for providing loading information of the article on the pallet by using loading information of the article generated by the method. More particularly, there are provided a method and a system of pallet packing that generate information on a 3D loading position of each article by using identification information of the pallet and each article and depth information for a whole area of the pallet acquired through a depth measurement sensor and a method for providing information on a loading shape of all articles or a state in which a specific article is loaded by using loading information of the article generated through the method.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2013Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: DAEGU GYEONGBUK INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Jae Sung Choi, Rock Hyun Choi, Hee kuk Kang, Byung Rak Son, Dong Ha Lee

Patent number: 9242370Abstract: The present invention relates to a miniature robot using a plurality of piezo legs capable of deforming in two degrees of freedom by supplying input voltage signals, and an integrated artificial neural network behavior controller capable of modeling complex behavioral patterns and gait patterns by a simple structure. The miniature robot with multiple legs includes: a main body; a plurality of piezo legs constituted by bimorph piezoelectric elements and connected to the main body to generate motion through morphological deformation in two degrees of freedom by applied voltage signals, thereby resulting in movement on the ground; and a control part including an artificial neural network behavior controller, which controls motion patterns by feeding back information with respect to the environment transmitted from external sensors and to electrical signals transmitted when the piezo legs contact the surface of the ground, to control the voltage applied to each of the piezo legs.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2012Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: DAEGU GYEONGBUK INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Dong Uck Kong, Byung-Rak Son, Sang-Jun Moon, Dong-Ha Lee

Patent number: 8258943Abstract: The present invention relates to a ubiquitous sensor network-based system and method for automatically managing food sanitation. The system includes at least one sensor node (100) configured to measure and store sensing information, compare measured values with preset values, and generate a warning message. A sink node (200) mediates between the sensor node and a management server (400) and between the mobile terminal and the management server. A mobile terminal (300) reads food information using an RFID reader or a barcode reader, transmits the food information, measures and stores sensing information, compares the measured values with preset values, and generates a warning message. The management server (400) generates a control command, transmits the control command to the sensor node or the mobile terminal, and notifies a manager of an urgent situation and a location of the kitchen appliance if received data is a warning message.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2008Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: First-Tech CorporationInventors: Jae Ill Park, Jung Gyu Kim, Byung Rak Son
