Abstract Grain is the material basis of human existence and development. Food quality has an important effect on people’s physical health for our country. Moisture content of grain has been an important factor in affecting food quaility. Every year, a substantial part of the food production is lost because of too much water contained in the food without drying. According to the annual statistics of the country’s harvest, loss of food due to drying time caused by water take up 500 - 10000000 tons, according to approximate 1.5% - 3% of the total grain output.With the development of science and technology, grain moisture detection, especially the real-time and accurate detection, has attracted more and more purchase, production, processing, storage, transportation, and attention from various aspects. Under this problem context, hardware-circuit-control system of grain moisture detection based on ATmega128 has been investigated and designed.

In the process of complex product design, modeling in different fields and different disciplines is often involved. Designers often face many different development kits, platforms, and theories, among which significant differences exist. Especially in the process of algorithm-hardware implementation, it is necessary to have mastery of the knowledge including algorithm, hardware, circuit, and system engineering. In this paper, a modeling method of algorithm-hardware based on SysML is proposed to reduce the difficulty of algorithm-hardware modeling. By using the method, the designers who do not know the knowledge of hardware can also easily build the algorithm-hardware model. In this method, a method of graphical system modeling based on SysML is used, where the elements of the algorithm-hardware model are described by SysML graphical models. Then, the SysML graphical models are converted to Very-High-Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language. At last, a detecting algorithm of random number is complemented by the modeling method in this paper and the simulation results are presented at the conclusion.

Abstract. Two of the most commonly used approved grain moisture air-oven reference methods for corn are the air oven method ASAE S352.2, which requires long heating time (72 h) at 103 ± 1°C for unground samples, and the AACC 44-15.02 air-oven method, which dries a ground sample for 1 h at 130 ± 1°C, but there is specific moisture measurement method for popcorn. The AACC 44-15.02 recommends a two-stage drying method for grain over 13%. But this involves more handling and drying time. The objective of this study was to develop an air-oven procedure for popcorn that requires short heating time (1h or less) based on existing reference method for ground corn (AACC 44-15.02). In the process of procedure development, two laboratory mills (Wiley Mini-Mill and Perten 3303 Mill) were optimized for mesh screen size and mill gap settings. The approved AACC method recommends using a 20-mesh screen fitted to the Wiley Mill, which failed, with wires breaking during the grinding process, possibly due to the hard nature of popcorn and/or clogging. It was replaced with the 10-mesh screen which produced larger particle size distribution with ~73% greater than 840 µm. The Perten Mill 3303 was set to gap No. 3 which produced ~68% particles that were greater than 840 µm. Additionally, this study evaluated the effectiveness of single-stage moisture measurement with the 14.5% and 16% moisture popcorn samples. Using the proposed procedure, four varieties of popcorn were tested at three different moisture contents (13%, 14.5%, and 16%). The method using the Wiley grinder and 60 min. heating time yielded oven moisture values which were statistically (p<0.05) similar to the approved ASAE S352.2 and AACC 44-15.02 (72-h, whole grain method). The moisture content of ground samples obtained from the Perten 3303 Mill had elevated moisture measurements and bias across the moisture levels when dried for 60 min. A reduction in heating time to 50 min. resulted in Perten mill samples yielding statistically (p<0.05) similar moisture measurements with the reference 72-h, whole grain method. Keywords: Air-oven, Drying, Popcorn.

In view of the inefficiency and the poor flexibility of the recent intelligent lighting control system, this paper proposes a new control method starting from sensor, controller and LED driver circuit, meanwhile connecting with the Internet of things technologies. The most striking feature of this control is that it is refactored in the aspect of the whole system, which can reach the purposes of scene control, timing control, multi-zone control and remote control, etc. This paper also elaborates the hardware circuit design and the working principle of the control system and the method to realize the remote control. The system can operate simply, control efficiently, transmit reliably, manage easily.
