We investigate a visual object tracking algorithm based upon particle filters, namely CONDENSATION, in order to combine multiple observation models such as active contours of digitally subtracted image and the particle measurement of object color. The former is applied to matching the contour of the moving target and the latter is used to independently enhance the likelihood of tracking a particular color of the object. Particle filters are more efficient than any other tracking algorithms because the tracking mechanism follows Bayesian inference rule of conditional probability propagation. In the experimental results, it is demonstrated that the suggested contour tracking particle filters prove to be robust in the cluttered environment of robot vision.

Electrochemical hydrogenation/dehydrogenation properties were studied for a single particle of a Mm-based(Mm : misch metal) hydrogen storage alloy($MmNi_{3.55}Co_{0.75}Mn_{0.4}Al_{0.3}$) for the anode of Ni-MH batteries. A carbon fiber microelectrode was manipulated to make electrical contact with an alloy particle, and the cyclic voltammetry and the galvanostatic charge/discharge experiments were performed. A single particle of the alloy showed the discharge capacity of 280[mAh/g], the value being 90[%] of the theoretical capacity. Data were compared with that of the composite film consisting of the alloy particles and a polymer binder, which is more practical form for Ni-MH batteries. Additionally, pulverization of the alloy particles are directly observed. Compared with the conventional composite film electrodes, the single particle measurements using the microelectrode gave more detailed, true information about the hydrogen storage alloy.

As a basic research of developing two-interconnected fluidized beds system for selective solid circulation, a solid separator was developed to separate fine and coarse particles by means of particle size difference with particle size separation system equipped with metal screen. The effects of gas velocity, height of solid separator, and separation area on the solid separation rate were investigated as well. The solid separation rate increased as the gas velocity, height of solid separator, and separation area increased. As the gas velocity and height of the solid separator increased, the variation of the solid separation rate was consistent with that of bubble size. Consequently, coarse($212{\sim}300{\mu}m$) and fine($63{\sim}106{\mu}m$) particles were separated using the solid separator and the solid separation rate was ranged from 4.4 to 127 g/min. We also proposed two interconnenced fluidized beds system for sorption enhanced water-gas shift process equipped with the developed solid separator.

A mobile emission laboratory (MEL) was designed to measure the amount of traffic pollutants, with high temporal and spatial resolution under real conditions. Equipment for the gas-phase measurements of CO, NOx, $CO_2$, and THC and for the measurement of the number, concentration, and size distribution of fine and ultra-fine particles by an FMPS and CPC was placed in a minivan. The exhausts of different types of vehicles can be sampled by an MEL. This paper describes the technical details of the MEL and presents data from the experiment in which a car chases passenger vehicles fuelled by diesel and gasoline. The particle number concentration in the exhaust of the diesel vehicle was higher than that of the gasoline vehicle. However, the diesel vehicle with a DPF emitted fewer particles than the vehicle equipped with a gasoline direct injection engine, with particle diameters over 50 nm.

This study proposes the more improved mathematical model than conventional that for the 3-DOF Helicopter System in Quanser Inc., and checks the validity about the proposed model by performance comparison between the controller based on the conventional model and that based on the proposed model. Research process is next : First, analyze the dynamics for the 3-DOF helicopter system and establish the linear mathematical model. Second, check the eliminated nonlinear-elements in linearization process for establishing the linear mathematical model. And establish the improved mathematical model including the parameters corresponding to the eliminated nonlinear-elements. At that time, it is used for modeling that Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm the meta-heuristic global optimization method. Finally, design the controller based on the proposed model, and verify the validity of the proposed model by comparison about the experimental results between the designed controller and the controller based on the conventional model.

The effects of cosurfactant on silica nanoparticles were investigated in systems containing surfactant, oil and aqueous ammonia solution where nanoparticles were prepared using a single phase water-in-oil (W/O) microemulsion. For the same oil phase, a single phase region was dependent on the interaction between surfactant and oil. For the cyclohexane system, NP-5 surfactant showed a wider single phase region than NP-4. The addition of n-propanol as a cosurfactant resulted in an increase or a decrease of a single phase W/O microemulsion region depending on the continuous oil phase. For both cyclohexane and isooctane systems, the addition of n-propanol resulted in a decrease in the single phase region. On the other hand, for n-heptane system, the addition of n-propanol expanded a single phase W/O microemulsion region. Silica nanoparticles prepared within a single phase region showed that relatively large number of particles of irregular shape were obtained with the addition of n-propanol to NP surfactant system. The addition of n-propanol to LA-5 surfactant and n-heptane system produced a decrease in average particle size and an increase in the number of particles formed due to a decrease in the intermicellar exchange rate among microemulsion droplets.

본 논문에서는 퍼지 뉴럴네트워크의 새로운 구조인 Fuzzy Set-based Polynomial Neural Networks(FSPNN)을 소개한다. 제안된 모델은 일반적인 최적화 방법과 정보 입자를 이용하여 네트워크를 설계한다. 최종 구조는 Fuzzy Set-based Polynomial Neuron(FSPN)을 기반으로 설계한 FPNN과 동일하다. 첫째로 FSPNS의 종합적인 설계방법(유전자 알고리즘을 이용한 최적 구조 탐색)에 대해 소개한다. FSPNN에 관계되는 입력변수의 개수, 후반부 다항식의 차수, 멤버쉽 함수의 수 그리고 입력변수 개수에 따른 입력변수를 유전자 알고리즘을 통하여 동조한다. 두 번째로, 입력 변수의 개별적인 퍼지 규칙 형성과 퍼지 공간 분할 및 삼각형 멤버쉽 함수의 초기 정점을 HCM 클러스터링을 통한 Information Granules로 정의한다. 또한 데이터 입자의 중심을 이용하여 후반부의 구조를 결정한다. 이 네트워크의 성능은 기존에 퍼지 또는 뉴로퍼지 모델링에서 실험된 모델링 표준치를 이용하여 평가한다.

A lot of efforts have been made to develop low-cost and reliable broadband optical subscriber loop systems. Here we propose a new loop system with shared ligh sources and remote modulation method. This system uses an external modulation method for both directions and all the light sources are maintained inside a central office. Moreover, the ligh source is not dedicated to each subsriber link but shared among many subscriber links. We expermentally demonstrated that one shared light source could accommodate about 2, 000 deownstream links(2.5 Gb/s per link), 500 upstream links(155 Mb/s per link).

본 논문은 볼빔시스템 제어에 대해 입자군집최적화(Particle Swarm Optimization; PSO)을 이용한 최적 퍼지제어기 설계방법을 연구한다. 볼빔 시스템은 모터와 빔, 움직이는 볼로 구성되며 볼의 위치제어를 기본 동작으로 한다. 본 논문에서는 제어성능이 우수한 퍼지제어기를 사용하여 제어시스템을 설계하는데, 퍼지제어구조는 1차 제어기와 2차 제어기로 구성되고, 최적 퍼지제어기 설계를 위해 PSO를 사용하며 PSO는 초기값에 영향이 적고 일반적인 탐색알고리즘과 달리 초기 수렴의 문제를 극복한다. 본 논문에서는 퍼지제어기와 기존의 PD 제어기의 성능비교를 시도 하였다.

악성 종양은 현대인을 괴롭히는 대표적인 질병의 하나로 이를 치료하는데 흔히 이용되는 것이 방사선치료이다. 방사선 치료에서는 종양세포만을 찾아 방사선을 조사하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 입자 시뮬레이터 Geant4와 볼륨렌더링을 이용하여 이러한 것을 가능하게 하는 방사선조사계획시스템을 제안하고 시스템의 논리적 구조와 구현 시 고려할 사항에 대하여 알아본다. 본 시스템은 Geant4에 있는 다양한 물리(physics)이론을 적용하여 방사선의 물성을 다양하고 정확하게 시뮬레이션 하고, 시뮬레이션으로 구한 방사선량 분포를 볼륨렌더링으로 생성한 영상과 함께 표시하여 사용자가 방사선 치료 계획을 용이하게 세울 수 있도록 한다.
