[INQ. NO. 1804E16] Youngkook Co., Ltd. has introduced various special purpose cameras for domestic and overseas markets. In recent years, it has successfully completed the R&D of an explosion-proof camera equipped with fisheye lens. This camera is an intelligent explosion-proof camera with a 12-megapixel fisheye lens capable of 360-degree surveillance without blind spots. It is simple, light, and capable of enlarging a specific part to full HD for monitoring at the user’s disposal without mechanical pan-tilting operation. Youngkook refers to this product as the world’s first intelligent explosion-proof fisheye camera made of entirely localized main components. This camera is suitable for use in high-risk areas where explosive gases are present. Youngkook has also introduced a camera for ultra-high-temperature that can monitor the interior of a furnace.
It is a system that monitors and controls the interior of a furnace with improved high-temperature-tolerance up to 2,000° C only by air-cooling. The camera and lens are integrated into one device by using the specially designed vision tube and equipped with a wind-up (springpowered) automatic extractor.
The company explains that this camera is smaller and easier to install compared to its counterparts, featuring a variety of functions such as temperature danger zone setting, alarm, automatic temperature data backup, real-time oscillograph output, and easy parts replacement.
Another product of the company is a cryogenic camera that can be used in a -170° C ultra-low temperature. It is a system to observe the interior walls of LNG storage tanks and LNG vessels, and is capable of a 360 degree fan, 90 degree tilt, and up to 30 x optical zoom, also equipped with a special lighting that allows monitoring even in a dark environment.
In addition, it is capable of an automatic up-down lift by using a separate device, and the area where the light source and the imaging target coincide, can be closely monitored.

New and Renewable Energy with Cheaper Manufacturing Cost and Less Volatility

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiryAccording to a recent report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for solar power generation in 2017 was US$0.10 / kWh, a decrease by 16.7% compared to US$ 0.10 / kWh in the previous year, which is as much as a 75% decrease from US$ 0.36 in 2010.
During the same period, photovoltaic module prices dropped 81% while the cost of the Balance of System (BoS) dropped 73%. Since a stable cost reduction is being achieved within the LCOE range of fossil fuels without any government subsidies, the argument for cost competitiveness seems no longer relevant.
The LCOE of onshore wind also fell 17.6% to US$ 0.06 / kWh, nearing the low end of the fossil fuel’s LCOE range. With the increase of the projects for the commercialization of the concentrating solar power (CSP) and offshore wind, which are gradually increasing their share based on high energy-conversion efficiency, the manufacturing cost has been steadily decreasing.
The conventional base-load power generation is still characterized by high price-volatility of raw materials such as oil and coal, and the increase in radioactive waste disposal costs and environmental costs related to carbon emissions. By comparison, it is therefore expected to contribute increasingly to the establishment of a long-term power policy as a stable and economical power-generation source.
On the other hand, even without additional subsidies from the central government, the profitability of the utilitygrade renewable energy-generation facilities based on the economy of scale and the long-term power purchase contracts remains stable while the market continues to grow.
In particular, as the reference of the utility-scale power-generation facilities increases, the knowledge regarding operation and utilization of decentralized power system accumulates. And the renewable energy-generation facility which has been used only for the existing residential and commercial uses is rapidly increasing for industrial uses lately.
The environment for the distributed power systems remains more favorable than the centralized power generation facilities, e.g., the USA imposing additional protectionist tariffs and China’s policy to continue to provide subsidies to decentralized power systems. Therefore, the production of new and renewable energy generation and energystorage complex facilities for industrial peak power management is expected to rev up rapidly.

Fingerprint Authentication Solution

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

Last year, Suprema entered the smartphone market in earnest by launching BioSign, a fingerprint authentication solution for smartphones, as mounted on the 2017 model Samsung Galaxy J5 and other models.

[INQ. NO. 1804E12] In sync with the ongoing trend of increased adoption of full-screen display in premium smartphones, active development is under way of in-display fingerprint authentication technologies to integrate fingerprint sensors on the display. The in-display fingerprint authentication features a complex sensing structure and imaging characteristics different from the conventional touch-type fingerprint sensors. Thus, a new algorithm that matches such features greatly influences the recognition performance.
Suprema has launched a solution that combines technological expertise in optical fingerprint image processing accumulated over 20 years, as well as Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The company has optimized BioSign 3.0 for the image quality obtained from the in-display fingerprint sensor, providing a high level of recognition performance and speed. Currently, in collaboration with major sensor manufacturers, it is expected to be applied to new premium smartphones in the future.
LookSign is also equipped with Suprema’s proprietary NIR-based high-performance facial recognition technology, which was introduced last year as mounted on FaceStation 2, a facial recognition terminal for access security. According to the company, the FaceStation features high performance such as high-speed authentication speed of less than one second, robustness against external lights, and false recognition rate (FRR) of less than 0.0001 percent.
LookSign has blended the facial recognition technology of FaceStone 2 and 3D image processing technology. Through optimized algorithm for a smartphone environment, it utilizes two- or three-dimensional complex face information with improved recognition performance and security. At this exhibition, Suprema plans to discuss collaboration with related sensor manufacturers to develop integrated solutions.
Song Bong-sup, CEO of Suprema, explains, “Suprema’s core competitiveness is under constant technological innovation. BioSign 3.0 and Lusign will lead to a new leap in biometric technology in the smartphone market, attracting more smartphone manufacturers.”
