The research and development of an actuator are accelerating in the robotics industry. The electricity polymer and SMA actuator are designed simply and are produced a lot of forces per unit volume. Their motions are similar to human's motion, But the repeatability of the electricity polymer actuator is lower. The reaction velocity of the SMA actuator is slow and the travel is short. In this paper, the dynamic characteristic of the segmented SMA is studied. The SMA wire is divided by using the Thermo-electric module(TEM) to control each of segments independently. The MOSFET circuit is used to supply constant currents fer the Thermo-electric module(TEM). The hysteresis and displacement of the SMA wire according to load are measured.

본 논문에서는 음향센서를 기반으로 한 지하시설물 화재 위험감지 방법을 제안하였다. 음향센서는 진동이나 광센서처럼 접촉식이 아니기 때문에 결로가 발생하고 있는 취약구간에 설치하여 보다 효율적으로 활용이 가능하고 지하시설물 내부에 설치된 기기나 장비들과 상호작용하거나 간섭하지 않기 때문에 안전하게 관리가 가능하다. 이러한 특징으로 지하 시설물에서 내 통행이 불편하여 관리하기 힘든 구간이나 결로가 많아 화재안전에 주의가 필요한 곳에 설치하여 전기스파크 발생 감지를통해 재난이 발생하기 이전 화재위험을 감지하는 방법론 중 하나가 될 수 있다. 제안하는 방법은 음향 센서를 통해 지하공동구 안에서 발생하는 소리들을 수집하고 일정한 길이의 시간 단위 프레임들로 분할한 후 분석하여 전기스파크의 특징 벡터를 도출한다. 전기스파크 감지 모델로는 전기스파크 신호의 지역적 특성을 포착할 수 있도록 2D-CNN 구조를 사용하며 모델에서 출력된 전기 스파크 발생 예측확률을 분할된 단위 프레임 따라 계산하여 융합한다. 이로 인해 높은 정확도의 전기스파크 감지 정밀도를 얻을 수 있으며, 이는 전기 스파크에 의한 화재 이벤트 감지 있어서 효과적인 센싱 기술임을 알 수 있다.

The rating curve is required to convert measured stage into a discharge and is developed using the measurement. In the development of the rating curve, the segmentation position is determined by considering the hydraulic characteristic and channel shape, and subjective judgment of the Hydrographer may intervene in this process. The segmentation position is so important that it determines the overall form of the rating curve, and the incorrect segmentation can cause errors in the rating curve, especially in extrapolation. In order to develop an accurate rating curve with a small number of measurements, the sections must be divided by considering hydraulic characteristic such as the cross-sectional shape. In this study, hydraulic examination methods such as stage-mean velocity, stage-area, stage-${\sqrt{Q}}$ investigated and supplemented to eliminate subjectivity in segmental positioning. Appropriateness for the segmentation position was verify in consideration of the physical meaning of the rating curve index (c).

Quantitative association rules apply a binary association to the data which have the relatively strong quantitative attributions in a large database system. When a domain range of quantitative data which involve the significant meanings for the association is too broad, a domain requires to be divided into a proper interval which satisfies the minimum support for the generation of large interval items. The reliability of formulated rules is enormously influenced by the generation of large interval items. Therefore, this paper proposes a new method to efficiently generate the large interval items. The proposed method does not lose any meaningful intervals compared to other existing methods, provides the accurate large interval items which are close to the minimum support, and minimizes the loss of characteristics of data. In addition, since our method merges data where the frequency of data is high enough, it provides the fast run time compared with other methods for the broad quantitative domain. To verify the superiority of proposed method, the real national census data are used for the performance analysis and a Clunix HPC system is used for the parallel processing.

The image binarization is applied frequently as one part of the preprocessing phase for a variety of image processing techniques such as character recognition and image analysis, etc. The performance of binarization algorithms is determined by the selection of threshold value for binarization, and most of the previous binarization algorithms analyze the intensity distribution of the original images by using the histogram and determine the threshold value using the mean value of Intensity or the intensity value corresponding to the valley of the histogram. The previous algorithms could not get the proper threshold value in the case that doesn't show the bimodal characteristic in the intensity histogram or for the case that tries to separate the feature area from the original image. So, this paper proposed the novel algorithm for image binarization, which, first, segments the intensity range of grayscale images to several intervals and calculates mean value of intensity for each interval, and next, repeats the interval integration until getting the final threshold value. The interval integration of two neighborhood intervals calculates the ratio of the distances between mean value and adjacent boundary value of two intervals and determine as the threshold value of the new integrated interval the intensity value that divides the distance between mean values of two intervals according to the ratio. The experiment for performance evaluation of the proposed binarization algorithm showed that the proposed algorithm generates the more effective threshold value than the previous algorithms.

This paper presents a new possibility of calculating optimal control for large scale which consist of non-linear dynamic sub-systems using two level hierarchical structures method. And the proposed method is based on the idea of block pulse transformation to simplify the algorithm and its calculation. This algorithm used an expansion around the equilibrium point of the system to fix the second and higher order terms. These terms are compensated for iteratively at the second level by providing a prediction for the states and controls which form of a part of the higher order terms. In this new approach the quadratic penalty terms are not used in the cost function. This allows convergence over a longer time horizon and also provides faster convergence. And the method is applied to the problem of optimization of the synchronous machine. Results show that the new approach is superior to conventional numerical method or other previous algorithm.

Multipath makes clear message transfer difficult in the underwater communication. To solve this problem, we propose a new method producing proper MFSP (Modulation Frequency Shift Period) which could be obtained by calculating time delay caused by different path from a transmitter to a receiver. At the transmitter end, messages were divided according to the size of the MFSP and transmitted accordingly alternating Frequency. At the receiver end, the received messages were demodulated in order to recover the original message by the adaptive BISMO algorithm which is constructed at the algorithm design stage. Adaptive MFSP and estimated BER (Bit Error Rate) were calculated through simulation test.

This paper presents a reliable fully automatic labeling system which fits well with languages having well-developed syllables such as in Korean. The ASL System utilize DAC (Divide and Conquer), a control mechanism, based segmentation algorithm to use phonetic and acoustic information with greater efficiency. The segmentation algorithm is to devide speech signals into speechlets which is localized speech signal pieces and to segment each speechlet for speech boundaries. While HMM method has uniform and definite efficiencies, the suggested method gives framework to steadily develope and improve specified acoustic knowledges as a component. Without using statistical method such as HMM, this new method use only phonetic-acoustic information. Therefore, this method has high speed performance, is consistent extending the specific acoustic knowledge component, and can be applied in efficient way. we show experiment result to verify suggested method at the end.

The previous video structuring techniques are mainly limited to shot or shot group level. However, the shot level structure couldn't provide semantics within a video. So, researches on high level structuring are going on for getting over the drawbacks of shot level structure, recently. To overcome the drawbacks of shot level structure, we propose video scene segmentation technique based on color and motion features. For considering various color distribution, each shot is divided into sub-shots based on color feature. A key frame is extracted from each sub-shot. The motion feature in a shot is extracted from MPEG-1 video's motion vector. Moreover adaptive weights based on motion's property in search range are applied to color and motion features. The experiment results of proposed technique show the excellence in view of the over-segmentation and the reflection of semantics, comparing with those of previous techniques. The proposed technique decomposes video into meaningful hierarchical structure and provides video browsing or retrieval based on scene.
