Virtual colonoscopy is a non-invasive computerized procedure to detect polyps by examining the colon from a CT data set. To fly through the inside of colons. the extraction of a suitable flight-path is necessary to Provide the viewpoint and view direction of a virtual camera. However. manual path extraction by Picking Points is a very time-consuming and difficult task due 1,c, the long and complex shape of colon. Also, existing automatic methods are computationally complex. and tend to generate an improper and/or discontinuous path for complicated regions. In this paper, we propose a fast flight-path generation algorithm using the distance and order maps. The order map Provides all Possible directions of a path. The distance map assigns the Euclidean distance value from each inside voxel to the nearest background voxel. By jointly using these two maps. we can obtain a proper centerline regardless of thickness and curvature of an object. Also, we Propose a simple smoothing technique that guarantees not to collide with the surface of an object. The phantom and real colon data are used for experiments. Experimental results show that for a set of human colon data, the proposed algorithm can provide a smoothened and connected flight-path within a minute on an 800MHz PC. And it is proved that the obtained flight-Path provides successive volume-rendered images satisfactory for virtual navigation.

The fuel tank systems of fixed wing and rotary wing aircrafts require the self-sealing and crash-worthiness for their survivability. For these requirements, the flexible composite fuel tank is generally used. In this study, the performance of the flexible composite fuel tank is investigated. The FE simulation includes the drop test of a fuel tank using MSC.DYTRAN. MSC.DYTRAN can provide the fluid-structure modeling of these test from Euler and Lagrange grids. Using MSC.DYTRAN, the finite element modeling of the test cube of the flexible fuel tank and its FE simulation are performed for various environments. The simulation results can show if the test cube satisfies the performance requirements of the fuel tank.

In this paper, we propose a new hybrid approach based on query tree protocol to arbitrate tag collisions in RFID systems. The hybrid query tree protocol that combines a tree based query protocol with a slotted backoff mechanism. The proposed protocol decreases the average identification delay by reducing collisions and idle time. To reduce collisions, we use a 4-ary query tree instead of a binary query tree. To reduce idle time, we introduce a slotted backoff mechanism to reduce the number of unnecessary Query commands. Simulation and numerical analysis reveal that the proposed protocol achieves lower identification delay than existing tag collision arbitration protocols.

In this paper, we present an analysis of the throughput when there are multiple piconets and WLAN sharing the ISM bands. The analysis takes channel propagation characteristics and the capture effect. We also propose an algorithm which can be used to reduce the amount of channel scanning. By using traffic prediction of the interfering WLAN, we are able to maintain a reasonable performance in terms of fraction of time channel is wasted due to collisions or unused channel. Through computer simulation, we demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves reduced scanning frequency.

Cognitive radio communication techniques have been attracting attention to efficiently use the scarce spectrum as the wireless communication service increases. In cognitive radio communication, efforts to minimize interference to the primary user are important technical factors. In a multi-hop wireless ad hoc network, multi-hop transmission requires path and channel selection considering channel interference as well as collision with primary users. In the multi-channel environment, cognitive radio network has different capacities depending on the inter-channel interference and collision with the main users. In this paper, we propose a multi-hop transmission scheme that minimizes inter-channel interference and reduce collision with primary users.

회전근 개 부분 파열은 노화의 과정 중 생기는 무증상의 병변 또는 견관절 기능 장애의 잠재적인 원인으로 생각되었다. 발병 원인은 해부학적인 원인에 의한 충돌 또는 반복적 미세 외상 등이 원인으로 이해되고 있으며 병리생태에 관한 이해가 깊어지고 진단 기구, 즉 초음파나 자기공명영상, 관절경 등의 발달로 발생률이 과거에 비해 증가하고 있다. 그러나 회전근 개부분 파열은 질환 자체보다 전층 파열로 진행하는 일종의 질환 스펙트럼(disease spectrum)의 개념으로 전층 파열에 비해 현재까지 발표된 연구 자료가 많지 않다. 즉 회전근 개 부종, 견봉과의 마찰로 생긴 염증성 건병증, 회전근 개 섬유화 및 부분 또는 전층 파열로 진행되는 회전근 개 병변의 스펙트럼의 일부로 간주되는 경우가 많다. 본 종설은 회전근 개 부분 파열의 진단, 파열 분류, 수술의 적응증 및 수술 방법과 그 결과에 대해 논하고자 한다.

In this paper, we suggest a novel physics-based real-time animation technique for vehicles, and introduce an easy and intuitive animation authoring tool which uses our proposed technique. After a user specifies a trajectory of a virtual car as input, our system produces a more accurate simulation faster than a previous research result. This is achieved by a trajectory splitting method based on directional features and a trajectory library. As a result, the user can create not only a car animation including lane changing and passing, but also a crash animation which is a rarely researched topic. Also, we propose a virtual car structure that approximates a real car's structure for real-time simulation, the resulting animation shows high plausibility such as a small vibration which occurs when the virtual car breaks and a deformation of when a car accident happens.

The Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS) is being utilized in numerous applications. The research for autonomous guided vehicles(AGVs) using precise positioning of GNSS is in progress. GNSS based AGVs is useful for setting driving path. This AGV system is more efficient than the previous one. Escipecially, the obstacle is positioned the driving path. Previcious AGVs which follow marker or wires laid out on the road have to stop the front of obstacle. But GNSS based AGVS can continuously drive using obstacle avoidance. In this paper, we developed collision avoidance system for GNSS based AGV using laser scanner and collision avoidance path setting algorithm. And we analyzed the developed system.

In this paper, high-level events that adjust or control the conflicts between blocks or process statement, or job sequences are defined compared to low-level events. This paper proposes that high-level events consist of resources conflicts and protocol or specification-dependent conflicts, and two low-level coverage metrics can be used to defect high-level events.
