Linear transformation theory has been effectively used in the design and analysis of prestressed concrete structures. The underlying assumptions of the theory, which were often overlooked, are investigated in the respect of equivalent load method. As a result, it is found that the same equivalent loading system is produced for all the cases of the linear transformation by the assumptions of the conventional equivalent load method. On the other hand, equivalent loading systems in a strict and accurate sense do not satisfy the classical theories of the linear transformation. Also, it is shown that a little different equivalent loading system from the conventional one is obtained for each linear transformation according to the proposed equivalent load method that is derived from the self-equilibrium property of the tendon-induced forces. Therefore, it can be concluded that the linear transformation theory is valid only when referring to the conventional approximate equivalent load method. The discussions are further extended to the eccentrically located circumferential tendon in the wall of containment structures, where the problem of eccentricity is analyzed also from the view point of the linear transformation.

This paper presents a research on the fast and accurate method of line detection in the image of a wireless mobile robot (WMR). For the improvement of the processing time to detect lines, the characteristics of the transmitted image from the WMR was analyzed, and the efficient preprocessing method among the existing preprocessing methods was selected. And for the improvement of the accuracy to detect lines, the selection method of local maximum value at the Hough array (HA) which has the result of Hough transform was improved by designing a mask and applying it to HA. The experiment was performed with acquired images from the WMR, and the proposed method outperformed the existing methods in terms of processing time and line detection.

본 논문에서는 미지의 환경에서 이동 로봇이 주행 중 얻어진 격자지도(grid map)상의 장애물 정보를 이용하여 이동 로봇 주변환경을 직선선분으로 표현한다. 격자지도의 장애물 정보는 초음파 센서를 이용하여 얻어지므로 이동로봇과 인접한 장애물 정보만을 얻게된다. 얻어진 격자 정보를 호프변환을 이용하여 직선선분을 구축하고 이를 이전에 얻어진 직선선분과 결합하여 전체지도를 완성해 간다. 논의된 방법은 모의실험을 통하여 증명하였다.

A reliable linear translation system was constructed. The system has six piezo legs, attached to a main body, holding a hexagonal sapphire rod. The sapphire rod moves either forward or backward with the sequential motion of the piezo legs, driven by characteristic electric voltage waves. The translational system was tested in vertical direction. The speed of the sapphire rod was turned out to be constant during several mm travel. The slowest upward speed was measured to be ${\sim}1.7{\times}10^{-6}m/s$, yielding ${\sim}28.3nm/step$, while the slowest upward speed was ${\sim}3.7{\times}10^{-6}m/s$, with ${\sim}61.7nm/step$, due to gravitational force. The velocity increases linearly, as the amplitude of the voltage waves increases. The linear translation system will be used as a coarse approach part for a scanning tunneling microscope.

The results of location-dependent queries(LDQ) generally depend on the current locations of query issuers. Many mechanisms, e.g. broadcast scheme, hoarding, or racking policy, have been developed to improve the system peformance and provide better services, which are specialized for LDQs. Considering geographical adjacency of data and characteristics oi target area, caching policy and broadcast scheme affect the overall performance in LDQ. For this reason, we propose both the caching policy and broadcast scheme, which these features are reflected in. Based on the adjacency of data in LDQ, our broadcast scheme use Hilbert curve to cluster data. Moreover, in order to develop the caching policy suitable for LDQ on urban area, we apply the moving distance of a MH(Mobile Host) to our caching policy We evaluate the performance of the caching policy measuring the workload of MHs and the correctness of LDQ results and the performance of the broadcast scheme measuring the average setup-time of MHs in our experiments. Finally, we expect that our caching policy Provides more correct answers when executing LDQ in focal cache and leads significant improvement of the performance of MHs. It also seems quite probable that our broadcast scheme leads improvement of battery life of the MH.

이동로봇이 자율항해를 하기 위해서는 위치추적 즉, 지금까지의 정보와 현재의 정보로부터 작업환경내의 어디에 로봇이 위치해 있는가를 알아내는 것이다 따라서 위치추적은 로봇이 어디로 가고 있는가 라는 물음과 어떻게 목표점에 도달할 것인가라는 물음에 대한 답의 기본이 된다는 의미에서 자율항해에서 가장 중요한 기능이라고 할 수 있다. 초음파 센서를 이용한 위치 추적은 그리드형태의 지도를 이용하는 방법과 물체의 형상을 기준으로 하는 방법이 있다.(중략)

The importance of NPC's role in computer games is increasing. An NPC must perform its tasks by perceiving obstacles and other characters and by moving through them. It has been proposed to plan a natural-looking path against fixed obstacles by using a generalized visibility graph. In this paper we develop the execution module for an NPC to move efficiently along the path planned on the generalized visibility graph. The planned path consists of line segments and arc segments, so we define steering behaviors such as linear behaviors, circular behaviors, and an arriving behavior for NPC's movements to be realistic and utilize them during execution. The execution module also includes the collision detection capability to be able to detect dynamic obstacles and uses a decision tree to react differently according to the detected obstacles. The execution module is tested through the simulation based on the example scenario in which an NPC interferes the other moving NPC.

본 논문에서는 수동 RFID 환경 아래서 공간/시간 정보를 효과적으로 활용하여, 기존 연구결과에 비해 추정 오차를 감소시킴과 동시에 경제성을 향상시키는 새로운 위치 추정 기법을 개발하고자 한다. 기본적으로 이동로봇이 일련의 직선 구간을 구간별로 정속 주행하며 또한 매 순간 이동로봇에 의해 감지되는 태그의 수는 한 개 이하라고 가정한다. 이러한 가정 아래서, 이동로봇이 위치 정보가 알려진 태그의 감지 범위를 경유하는 과정에서의 시간 정보를 이용하여, 주어진 구간에 대해서 이미 알려져 있는 지점을 출발하여 정속으로 직선 주행하는 이동로봇의 속도 및 위치를 추정하는 알고리즘을 개발한다.

This paper presents the efficient localization of a mobile robot traveling on the floor with tags installed, using the spatial and temporal information acquired from passive RFID environment. Compared to previous research, the proposed localization method can reduce the position estimation error and also cut down the initial cost tag installation cost. Basically, it is assumed that a mobile robot is traveling over a series of straight line segments, each at a certain constant velocity, and that the number of tags sensed by a mobile robot at each sampling instant is at most one. First, the velocity and position estimation of a mobile robot starting from a known position, which is valid for all segments except the first one. Second, for the first segment in which the starting position is unknown, the velocity and position estimation is made possible by enforcing a mobile robot to traverse at least two tags at a constant velocity with the steering angle unchanged. Third, through experiments using our passive RFID localization system, the validity and performance of the mobile robot localization proposed in this paper is demonstrated.

This study is to analyze collection factor of food wastes using GIS. For calculation of collection crews and equipment, It was measured velocity(43m/min), moving coefficient(1.9), moving distance(17,200/day), collection rate(0.313kg/day) on the basis of S2Dong. Moving coefficient was able to analyze straight distance of S2Dong using GIS and other areas were also applied to analyze straight distance of each area using same method. At N autonomous district, 10 persons of collection crews were necessary, but collection of food wastes by four forces resulted to be 11 persons of crews necessary. 7 vehicles were necessary, but 8 vehicles were needed by same reason.
