Reports about the intrusion of a natural tooth bounded by implants are very rare, although some concerns have been discussed on the intrusion of teeth connected to implants. A female aged 56 years received an implant (mandibular right first premolar) and post/core onto root rest (mandibular right second premolar) and was restored by single zirconia crown, respectively. Molars were implant restorations. Four month after loading, second premolar was intruded and prominent gap was shown between opposite tooth. Because nonspecific discomfort was expressed, observation was decided after explanation of prognosis of tooth without treatment. Three month later reversal to original position was detected on the periapical radiographs and fully recovered position with intimate contact was completed 11 more months later. Till now 2 years and 3 month observation is being performed. Through the observation of spontaneous recovery of a natural tooth bounded by implants, the cause of intrusion and a mechanism of spontaneous recovery could be estimated.

In the present study, we proposed a new numerical wave tank model to analyze the vertical tension-leg circular floating bodies, using a 2-D Navier-Stokes solver. An IBM(Immersed Boundary Method) capable of handling interactions between waves and moving structures with complex geometry on a standard regular Cartesian grid system is coupled to the VOF(Volume of Fluid) method for tracking the free surface. Present numerical results for the motions of the floating body were compared with existing experimental data as well as numerical results based on FAVOR(Fractional Area Volume Obstacle Representation) algorithm. For detailed examinations of the present model, the additional hydraulic experiments for floating motions and free surface transformations were conducted. Further, the versatility of the proposed numerical model was verified via the numerical and physical experiments for the general rectangular floating bodies. Numerical results were compared with experiments and good agreement was archived.

Precision guidance filter design for a tactical missile with a strapdown seeker aided by low-cost strapdown sensors has been addressed in this paper. The low-cost strapdown sensors consist of an IMU with 3-axis accelerometers and gyroscopes, 3-axis magnetometers, and a barometer. Missile's position, velocity, attitude, and bias error of the barometer are considered as state variables. Since the state and measurement equations are highly nonlinear, we adopt UKF(Unscented Kalman Filter). The proposed guidance filter has a function of a navigation filter if target position error is not considered. In the case that the target position error is introduced, the proposed filter can effectively estimate the relative states of the missile to the true target. For specific engagement scenarios, we can observe that observability problems occur.

As body postures on bed affects various sleep related diseases, it is considered as important information when monitoring sleeping in daily life. Though there have already been a few approaches to monitor body postures on bed conventionally, the development for simple and unconstrained methods is still needed to realize the long-term daily monitoring. Focusing on the fact that ballistocardiogram changes depending on the body postures on bed, we developed a novel method to estimate body posturesusing extremely simple, film-type ballistocardiogram sensor which is based on polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF) film. With 10 subjects, we performed two experiments. One was for an estimation test to show that body postures on bed can be estimated by ballistocardiogram, and the other was for a reproducibility test to present the feasibility of ballistocardiogram based body postures monitoring. To estimate body postures on bed, we made an individual template set of body postures by designating one ballistocardiogram (BCG) sample as a template in each postures. Then, we calculated Pearson's correlation coefficients between a sample and each templates and estimated the body posture of the sample by choosing a posture which corresponds to the most significant correlation coefficients. As a result, we estimated body postures on bed with 99.2% accuracy in average and found that the estimation using ballistocardiogram is reproducible.

This paper surveys vision based autonomous navigation technologies for unmanned systems. Main branches of visual navigation technologies are visual servoing, visual odometry, and visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). Visual servoing provides velocity input which guides mobile system to desired pose. This input velocity is calculated from feature difference between desired image and acquired image. Visual odometry is the technology that estimates the relative pose between frames of consecutive image. This can improve the accuracy when compared with the exisiting dead-reckoning methods. Visual SLAM aims for constructing map of unknown environment and determining mobile system's location simultaneously, which is essential for operation of unmanned systems in unknown environments. The trend of visual navigation is grasped by examining foreign research cases related to visual navigation technology.

This paper proposes to improve the results of image classification with spatial region growing segmentation by using an MRF-based classifier. The proposed approach is to re-classify the pixels in the boundary area, which have high probability of having classification error. The MRF-based classifier performs iteratively classification using the class parameters estimated from the region growing segmentation scheme. The proposed method has been evaluated using simulated data, and the experiment shows that it improve the classification results. But, conventional MRF-based techniques may yield incorrect results of classification for remotely-sensed images acquired over the ground area where has complicated types of land-use. A multistage MRF-based iterative class-modification in boundary is proposed to alleviate difficulty in classifying intricate land-cover. It has applied to remotely-sensed images collected on the Korean peninsula. The results show that the multistage scheme can produce a spatially smooth class-map with a more distinctive configuration of the classes and also preserve detailed features in the map.

저수지나 하천 사면에서 발생하는 산사태와 토석류는 저수지와 하천 수체에 충격을 가한다. 이로 인해 발생하는 수면 충격파는 전파되어 반대편 제방으로 파의 처오름 또는 댐 제체위로의 물넘이로 큰 피해를 줄 수 있다. 최근 외국에서는 2차원 충격파 생성 및 전파의 기본 과정을 구명하기 위한 실험적 연구가 이뤄지고 있으며, 이들 연구들은 충격파의 발생과 전파, 사면활동 물질과 수체의 상호작용 그리고 자유 수면과 유속분표의 발달에 대한 자세한 관측 자료를 제시하고 있다. 아울러 충격파에 영향을 주는 지배 매개변수를 제시하고 있다. 하지만, 이러한 실험적 연구의 최근 진보에도 불구하고, 이들 지배 매개변수를 고려한 충격파 지배공식들은 대상 지역의 복잡한 바닥 지형이나, 평면적 지형 변화를 단순한 추정치로만 고려하게 된다. 따라서 복잡한 지형조건에서 토석류와 수체의 상호작용과 수면 충격파의 전파를 합리적으로 해석하는 데는 한계가 있다. 이 경우 수치모델링 기법을 대안으로 적용할 수 있으나, 수치모델링은 수면에서 충격파의 전파와 수중에서 토석류의 전파를 동시에 모의해야 하고, 뉴턴 유체와 비뉴턴 유체의 특성을 동시에 고려해야하므로 수치해석 연구자들에게는 하나의 큰 도전사항이다. 이 연구는 경계면 포착기법을 이용한 계산유체동력학 기법을 이용하여 사면활동과 이로 인한 정지 수역에서의 충격파의 발생 및 전파를 재현하기 위한 수치 모델링 기법을 개발하는 것이 목적이다. 사면활동과 수면의 경계면을 포착하고 위치를 정립하기 위해서 VOF (volume of fluid) 경계면 재구축 기법을 이용한다. 지배 방정식은 비압축성(incompressible) 질량 보존방정식과 나비어-스톡스(Navier-Stokes) 방정식이며, 서로 다른 유체의 상(phase)애 대한 체적분할이송방정식을 이용한다. 큰와 모의 계열의 난류 모델링 기법을 적용하여 충격파의 전파와 붕괴에 대한 난류의 영향을 고려하였다. 토석류는 비뉴턴 흐름저항 관계식을 적용하여 그 흐름특성을 재현하였다. 이들 지배방정식은 2차 정확도의 유한체적법(finite volume method)을 이용하여 해석한다. 외국의 연구자들이 관측하여 제시한 길이 11 m 그리고 폭 0.5 m의 수로에서 발생한 충격파를 수치적으로 재현하여 개발된 모형의 실제 문제에 대한 적용성을 보여준다.

In this study, the generating of torque regarding the Control Moment Gyro (CMG) is proportional to the angular velocity of gimbal. This is the case because gimbal affects the attitude control of the satellite directly, and it is necessary to reduce the incidence of torque ripple of gimbal. In this paper, the cause of the torque ripple of gimbal is reviewed and mathematically modeled by assuming the friction imbalance of bearing, the magnetic field and the phase current imbalance of the motor. We are able to confidently estimate the modeling parameters of gimbal disturbance using a constant speed test, and then analyze the influence of applying feedforward control to our modeling. Additionally, the simulation results show that the torque ripple and angular velocity fluctuations are reduced when apply this modeling to the identified study parameters. Finally, we present the disturbance reduction technique using our disturbance modeling.

The prediction of the hydrodynamic performance of a planing hull vessel is an important and challenging topic for computational fluid dynamic (CFD) applications to naval hydrodynamics. In this paper, the resistance and planing attitude analysis for a Fridsma hull, which is a prismatic planing hull, in still water are numerically studied using OpenFOAM. OpenFOAM is an open source code package based on C++ libraries and the finite volume method (FVM) for the discretization of the RANS equation. The volume of fluid method (VOF) is used to capture the water-air interface and the SST ${\kappa}-{\omega}$ model is used for the turbulence simulation. The overset mesh method is used to capture the large motion of the hull at higher speeds. Before the extensive analysis, uncertainty analyses using various time steps and grid sizes were performed for one ship speed case of Fn = 1.19. The results of the present study are compared with those of a model test, other CFD research, and Savitsky's empirical formula. The results of the present study, following the trend of other CFD results, slightly over predict the resistance and under predict the sinkage and, more significantly, the trim.

In this paper, an automotive ECU (electronic control unit) with Kalman filter accelerator is designed and implemented. RISC-V is exploited as a processor core. Accelerator for Kalman filter matrix operation, CAN (controller area network) controller for in-vehicle network, and LIN (local interconnect network) controller are designed and embedded. Kalman filter operation consists of time update process and measurement update process. Current state variable and its error covariance are estimated in time update process. Final values are corrected from input measurement data and Kalman gain in measurement update process. Usually floating-point multiplication is exploited in software implementation, but fixed-point multiplier considering accuracy analysis is exploited in this paper to reduce hardware area. In 28nm silicon fabrication, its operating frequency, area, and gate counts are 100MHz, 0.37mm², and 760k gates, respectively.
