In this study, we propose a self-restoring friction slit damper by combining the concepts of self-restoring dampers, friction dampers, and steel dampers that are currently used and researched. For this purpose, an innovative damper structure was designed using superelastic shape memory alloy for automatic recovery and combining the concepts of friction damper and slit damper. Afterwards, detailed design was carried out and variables such as material, with of strut, and bolt fastening force were set. Modeling was performed using the ABAQUS program for a total of 12 dampers, and finite element analysis was performed by substituting the designed loading protocol. As a result, the self-recovering friction slit damper using superelastic shape memory alloy was excellent in terms of load, but the energy dissipation ability was not significantly secured due to the excellent recovery performance. However, friction slit dampers made of Gr.50 steel have dramatically improved performance in terms of load and energy dissipation through innovative structural improvements. Through this, the innovative structure of the damper, which combines the mechanisms of a friction damper and a steel damper, was demonstrated.

This study mainly treats a new type of the bracing friction damper system, which is able to minimize structural damage under earthquake loads. The slotted bolt holes are placed on the shear faying surfaces with an intention to dissipate considerable amount of friction energy. The superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) wire strands are installed crossly between two plates for the purpose of enhancing recentering force that are able to reduce permanent deformation occurring at the friction damper system. The smart recentering friction damper system proposed in this study can be expected to reduce repair cost as compared to the conventional damper system because the proposed system mitigates the inter-story drift of the entire frame structure. The response mechanism of the proposed damper system is firstly investigated in this study, and then numerical analyses are performed on the component spring models calibrated to the experimental results. Based on the numerical analysis results, the seismic performance of the recentering friction damper system with respect to recentering capability and energy dissipation are investigated before suggesting optimal design methodology. Finally, nonlinear dynamic analyses are conducted by using the frame models designed with the proposed damper systems so as to verify superior performance to the existing damper systems.

최근 다국어 정보검색, 기계번역 등과 관련하여 자동 음차 표기 및 복원에 대한 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 특히 영어와 한국어 같이 그 음운구조의 차이가 큰 언어 쌍인 경우에는 간단한 문제가 아니다. 더구나 외래어를 영어로 복원하는 것은 표기의 경우보다 훨씬 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 결정트리 학습을 통한 한/영 자동 음차 복원 방법을 제안하고 기존의 방법 및 로마자 표기법에 기반한 방법에 비교하여 매우 정확하게 복원이 가능함을 보인다.

This paper proposes a method for estimating isotropic out-of-focus blur and a fully digital auto-focusing based on a priori estimate set of PSFs. The proposed algorithm for identifying the isotropic PSF is performed by approximating an isotropic blur to a novel discrete PSF model and estimating the PSF model coefficients from degraded edges. After acquiring the set of PSFs by proposed PSF estimation algorithm the proposed fully digital auto-focusing system can restore out-of-focused images by two steps: i) selecting an optimal PSF and ii) restoring the out-of-focused image by digital image restoration.

This study introduces the method of detecting and restoring occlusion areas by using epipolar algorithm and K-means classification algorithm for true ortho-photo generation. In the past, the techniques of detecting occlusion areas are using the reference images or information of buildings. But, in this study the occlusion areas can be automatically detected by using DTM data and exterior orientation parameters. The detected occlusion areas can be restored by using anther images or the computed values which are determined in K-means classification algorithm. In addition, this method takes advantages of applying epipolar algorithm in order to find same location in overlapping areas among images.

Old archived film shows two major defects: line scratch and blobs. In this paper, we present a design and implementation of an automatic video restoration system for line scratches observed in archived film. We use autoregressive (AR) image model because we can make stochastic and specifically autoregressive image generation process with our PAST-PRESENT model and Sampling Pattern. We designed locality maximizing scanning pattern, which can generate nearly stationary time-like series of pixels, which is a strong requirement for a stochastic series to be autoregressive. The sampled pixel series undergoes filtering and model fitting using Durbin-Levinson algorithm before interpolation process. We designed three-stage film restoration system, which includes (1) film acquisition from VHS tapes, (2) simple line scratch detection and restoration, and (3) manual blob identification and sophisticated inpainting scheme. We implemented film acquisition and simple inpainting scheme on Texas Instruments DSP board TMS320DM642 EVM, and implemented our AR inpainting scheme on PC for sophisticated restoration. We experimented our scheme with two old Korean films: "Viva Freedom" and "Robot Tae-Kwon-V", and the experimental results show that our scheme improves Bertalmio's scheme for subjective quality (MOS), objective quality (PSNR), and especially restoration ratio (RR), which reflects how much similar to the manual inpainting results.

As the magnitude and frequency of earthquakes increase in Korea, interest in earthquake damage reduction technology has increased. Therefore, research on vibration damping devices that directly respond to seismic loads is being actively researched. After an earthquake, damage or destruction of the device occurs due to the yield of materials, and thus it takes considerable cost and time for restoration and replacement. To supplement the problems of the existing earthquake damage reduction technology, a study was conducted on the recentering smart damper that can be used continuously after an earthquake. In this study, the recentering smart damper that can be restored to its original shape after load removal was developed using superelastic shape memory alloy, pre-compressed polyurethane. General steel was commonly applied to verify the seismic performance of the superelastic shape memory alloy, and the performance of the smart damper was verified according to the amount of polyurethane pre-compressed

Korea was recognized as a relatively safe area for earthquake. However, due to considerable damage to facilities caused by the earthquake in Gyeongju and Pohang, interest in the maintenance and repair of structures is increasing. So interest in vibration damping technology applicable to existing structures is also increasing. However, vibration damping technology has a problem in that its usability is reduced due to damage of the damping device when a strong earthquake occurs. Recently, in order to solve such a problem, study is being conducted to apply a superelastic shape memory alloys (SSMA) capable of recentering bracing. Therefore, in this study, nonlinear dynamic analysis is performed to evaluate the seismic performance of the buckling-restrained braced frame (BRBF) applied SSMA to bracing.

This paper presents a digital auto-focusing method using a priori estimated point-spread-functions (PSF) database. The proposed algorithm efficiently removes out-of-focus blur in a degraded input image by selecting the optimal PSF from the database. The database consists of optical characteristics of image formation system. The PSF selection Process is performed based on a novel focusing measure. The proposed method includes a spatially adaptive filter for removing both noise and ringing artifacts. Experimental results show that the proposed method efficiently removes out-of-focus blur using significantly reduced computational load compared with the existing method.
