Motion estimation plays an important role for the compression of video signals. The proposed method utilizes an adaptive threshold and characteristics of a distribution of SAD (sum of absolute difference). Generally, the more complex the SAD distribution is, the larger SAD value tends to be. This proposed algorithm tries to reduce the search points in a simple distribution but increase them in a complex distribution to avoid local minima. A macro block is divided into 9 areas. One of them chosen using spatio-temporal correlation is called the primary area and the others are called the secondary area that will be searched to avoid local minima. The proposed algorithm decides if just one area (the primary area or the secondary area) will be enough to be searched or both areas should be searched, using adaptive threshold. Compared with famous motion estimation algorithms, the simulation result shows that the searching points per macro block and MSE decreases about 16.4% and 32.83 respectively on the average.

Recently the domestic popular song market has been growing mainly in digital sound sources. As a result of analyzing the top 100 music charts from 2012 to 2016 through digital sound sources and musical scores, the average annual BPM has fallen by 11.26 over five years. Every year, The style of music has diversified every year, and the proportion of Hip-hop has doubled from 8.5% in 2012 to 17.8% in 2015. Dance music and ballads have a high preference rate, but the relationship is inversely proportional. Singer composition was inversely proportional to the ratio of female solo to male group. Especially, the relationship between BPM and the Major/Minor key is that 81.42% for slow tempo songs is Major key and 53.85% for fast tempo songs is minor key. In the case of TV drama OST, the solo singer 's music was preferred, the music style was 80% pop and 20% ballad.

We investigated the specific gravity and mechanical property changes of solid-state extruded polypropylene (PP)/talc composites before and after orientation. The specific gravity of the composites increases with increasing the filler contents. The specific gravity of the oriented specimen containing filler in PP matrix is found to be much smaller than that of pre-specimen due to the formation of more micro-voids. It was found that the tensile properties of the composites are increased up to the talc content of 10 wt%, but after the contents exceeding 10 wt%, the tensile properties are decreased. For oriented specimens, the tensile strength of the composites showed monotonously decrease with increasing talc contents. When the contents of talc is 10 wt%, the theoretical values according to Halpin-Tsai equation are close to the experimental values but over 20 wt% of talc contents, the deviation of the experimental values from the theoretical prediction becomes higher. The maximum flexural strength and modulus were observed for PP/talc composites when the talc contents was 10 wt% for both pre-specimen and oriented specimen.

The printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) is regarded as a promising candidate for advanced heat exchangers for the next-generation supercritical $CO_2$ power generation owing to its high compactness and rigid structure. In this study, an innovative type of PCHE, in which the channel sizes for the heat source fluid and heat sink fluid are different, is considered for analysis. The thermal performance of the PCHE, with supercritical $CO_2$ as the working fluid, is numerically analyzed. The results have shown that the thermal performance of the PCHE decreases monotonically when the channel size of either the heat source channel or the heat sink channel, because of the decreased flow velocity. On the other hand, the thermal performance of the PCHE is found to be almost independent of the spacing between the channels. In addition, it was found that the channel cross sectional shape has little effect on the thermal performance when the hydraulic diameter of the channel remains constant.

Microstructure evolution and tensile properties of Al-8mass%Mg alloy casting billet by biaxial alternative forging were investigated in this study. An alternative forging system tailored in this study was used to allow continuous strain accumulations on the alloy workpiece. A finite element (FE) simulation results revealed that the strain was mainly concentrated in the core and that the shear bands developed into a form with an X shape in the cross-section of workpiece after the alternative forging using octangular rod shaped dies. With increasing the forging passes, it was observed that the Al-8mass%Mg alloy workpieces were significantly deformed, and cracks began to form and propagate on the both ends of the forged workpieces after five passes at room temperature. In as-forged microstructures taken by microscopes, twins, clustering of dislocations, and fine subgrains were found. Tensile strengths of the forged specimens showed significant increases depending on the number of forging passes, and a trade-off relationship was observed between the elongation and strength. At room temperature and 100℃ the workpieces showed similar behaviors in microstructural evolution and tensile properties depending on forging passes, while the increase range in strength was reduced at 200℃.

The nickel-based alloy Nimonic 80A possesses the excellent strength, and the resistance against corrosion, creep and oxidation at high temperature. Its products are used in aerospace engineering, marine engineering and power generation, etc. Control of forging parameters such as strain, strain rate, temperature and holding time is important because change of the microstructure in hot working affects the mechanical properties. Change of the microstructure evolves by recovery, recrystallization and grain growth phenomena. The dynamic recrystallization evolution has been studied in the temperature range of $950\~1250^{\circ}C$ and strain rate range of $0.05\~5s^{-1}$ using hot compression tests. The metadynamic recrystallization and grain growth evolution has been studied in the temperature range of $950\~1250^{\circ}C$ and strain rate range $0.05,\;5s^{-1}$, holding time range of 5, 10, 100, 600 sec using hot compression tests. Modeling equations are proposed to represent the flow curve, recrystallized grain size, recrystallized fraction and grain growth phenomena by various tests. Parameters in modeling equations are expressed as a function of the Zener-Hollomon parameter. The modeling equation for grain growth is expressed as a function of the initial grain size and holding time. The modeling equations developed were combined with thermo-viscoplastic finite element modeling to predict the microstructure change evolution during hot forging process. The grain size predicted from FE simulation results is compared with results obtained in field product.

In Fast motion estimaion algorithms, they reduce the computational complexity using the assumption that the matching error increases monotonically as the search moves away from the global minimum error In this paper, we first investigate the statistical characteristics of motion vector that the motion vector mostly occures on the side of small MAE (mean absolute error) between the reference search points when the MAE difference of them is large Therefore, we propose a fast motion estimation algorithm using this property and can reduce the number of search points The computer simulation result shows that the proposed method reduces computational complexity compared with conventional fast algorithms.

Among the most of manufacturing process, plastic deformation method offers a significant advantage in productivity and enable mass production with controlled quality and low cost. From the point of view, micro forming is a well suited technology in manufacturing very small metallic parts, in particular for mass production, as they are required in many industrial products. Meanwhile, Al 5083 superplastic alloy with very small grains has a great advantage in achieving micro deformation under low stress due to its relatively low strength at a specific high temperature range. This paper describes the micro formability of Al 5083 superplastic alloy and its application to die forging of micro patterns. Micro formability tests of Al 5083 superplastic alloy were carried out with the specially designed micro forging system by using V-grooved micro dies and pyramidal dies made of (100) silicon. With these dies, micro forging was conducted by varying the applied load, material temperature and forging time The micro formability of Al 5083 superplastic alloy was evaluated by comparing $R_f$ value, where $R_f\;=\;A_f/A_v$ ($A_v$ : cross-sectional area of the flowed metal, $A_v$ : cross sectional area of V-groove). The micro formability of 3 dimensional Patterns was also evaluated using Pyramidal type micro dies.

The yield-line analysis is used for earring out the limit analysis of reinforced concrete slabs which are for example like those of vertical walls of tanks subjected to the loads of hydrostatical type. It is considered both isotropic and orthotropic reinforcement using the coefficient of orthotropy with different edge conditions. The yield-line analysis is carried out by using the vertical work method and four collapse mechanisms including the fan mechanisms which is more realistic than over diagonal mechanisms is considered. It is found that the fan mechanisms are more complicated than ever simple diagonal mechanisms which have used for the orthotropically reinforced concrete slabs subjected to hydrostatic pressures. Especially Horton's study is extended in this study, and they are formulated to the constrained multi-variables nonlinear optimization problems, which are solved by the Rosen-Brock Hillclimb Procedure Program and are more critical.

A capacitance-type humidity sensor with mesa structure in which porous silicon layer is used as humidity-sensing material is developed and its humidity sensing properties are measured. This sensor has a structure where two electrodes are set on the up-side of the wafer against the past typical structure having these electrodes on the up and down-side of the wafer. Therefore, the sensor can be fabricated monolithically to be more compatible with the IC process technology, and is possible to detect more correct output capacitance by removing the effect of the parasitic capacitance from the bottom layer and other junctions. To do this, the sensor was fabricated using process such as localized formation of porous silicon, oxidation of porous silicon layer, and etching of oxidized porous silicon layer. From the completed samples, the dependence of capacitance on the relative humidity of 55 to 90% more was measured at room temperature. As the result, the measured capacitance increased monotonously higher at the low frequency of 120 Hz, where the capacitance was observed to increase over 300%.
