This paper describes a method to identify objects for autonomous navigation of an outdoor mobile robot. To identify objects, the robot recognizes the object from an image taken by moving robot on outdoor environment. As a beginning, this paper presents the candidates for a segment of region to building of artificial object, sky and trees of natural objects. Then we define their characteristics individually. In the process, we segment the regions of the objects included by preprocessing using multiple features. Multiple features are HSI, line segments, context information, hue co-occurrence matrix, principal components and vanishing point. An analysis of building identifies the geometrical properties of building facet such as wall region, windows and entrance. The building as intersection in vertical and horizontal line segment of vanishing point extracts the mesh. The wall region of building detect by merging the mesh of the neighbor parallelograms that have similar colors. The property estimates the number of story and rooms in the same floors by merging skewed parallelograms of the same color. We accomplish the result of image segmentation using multiple features and the geometrical properties analysis of object through experiments.

Wigner-Ville distribution has been recognized as a useful tool and applied to various types of mechanical noise and vibration signals, but its limitation which mainly comes from the cross-talk has not been well addressed. The cross-talk takes place for a signal with multiple components, simply because the Wigner-Ville distribution is a bilinear transform. The cross-talk often causes a negative value in the distribution. This cannot be accepted for the Wigner- Ville distribution, because it is an expression of power. Smoothing the Wigner-Ville distribution by convoluting it wih a window, is most commonly used to reduce the cross-talk. There can be infinite number of distributions depending on the windows. In this paper, we attempted to develop a distribution which is the best or the optimal in reducing the cross-talk. This could be possible by employing the ambiguity function. For a general signal, however it is difficult to express the ambiguity function as a mathematically closed form. This requires an appropriate modeling to make such expression possible. We approximated the Wigner-Ville distribution as a sum of linear segments. In the ambiguity function domain, the legitimate components are reflected as linear lines passing through the origin. Every lines has its own length and slope. But, the cross-talk is widely distributed in the ambiguity function plane. Based on this realization, we proposed a two-dimensional window which is in fact 'rotating window', that can eliminate cross-talk component. The rotating window is examined numerically and is found to have a better performance in reducing the cross-talk than conventional windows, the Gaussian window.

Steel stiffener is required for reinforcing the structure of the window frame made of versatile but weak PVC material. Steel stiffener however becomes a source of greater heat loss and frequently plays a role of thermal bridge due to its high thermal conductivity. To maintain thermal resistance similar to PVC frame, steel stiffener is perforated to reduce the effective heat transfer area. To compensate the structural strength of the steel stiffener which is weakened by the perforation, the thickness is increased. Increase in thickness will also increase the thermal heat resistance. Five samples which are PVC frame, PVC frame + original steel stiffener, PVC frame + 30% perforated steel stiffener, PVC frame + 50% perforated steel stiffener, PVC frame + 65% perforated steel stiffener are modeled and simulated for 2nd moment of area and thermal resistance. Therm/window version 6.3 is used for thermal analysis. The results show that among the five samples analyzed, PVC frame + 65% perforated steel stiffener best satisfies both structural strength and thermal resistance.

The purpose of the present study is to find ways to reduce the quantity of indoor radon contamination. The study was done from July, 2005 until December, 2005. It was found out that the easiest and most effective way to do that is to open the windows as often as possible and let the indoor air flow outside. When it is not possible to ventilate a room, the indoor radon contamination quantity can reduced by providing activated charcoal in the room. It has been proved that activated charcoal can absorb the room in the air. We need more activated charcoal in proportion to the size of the room. A further research is needed to investigate the amount of activated charcoal that will work most effectively.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the differential pressure and velocity to prevent smoke backflow of Stairways Apartment House fire, and verified the effectiveness of smoke velocity standards proposed by NFSC 501A. Method: The smoke control design of the stairways apartment house of the real model and the performance of the velocity to prevent smoke backflow according to the window opening conditions of the living room were analyzed using the CONTAM program. Result: Although the differential pressure performance of the apartment's smoke control system was satisfactory, it was found that Performance of velocity to prevent smoke backflow did not come out according to the opening condition of the living room window. Conclusion: In the case of Stairways Apartment House, it is necessary to review the method of making exceptions to the 'velocity to prevent smoke backflow' standard required by the National Fire Safety Codes(NFSC 501A)

With the development of industry, fine dust is causing difficulties in various fields such as environment, health, and life, and a large amount of pollutants generated from human social activities are emerging as a serious environmental problem due to air pollution. Therefore, in this study, activated carbon was added to remove fine dust and volatile organic compounds by spinning cellulose acetate polymer fibers on a silicon support using the electrospinning method. By varying the activated carbon ratio and electrospinning time, the fine dust blocking effect and toluene adsorption performance were confirmed according to the activated carbon ratio and filter thickness. As a result, it was shown that the particles were effectively blocked with the increase in the electrospinning time due to the filter thickness increase. Adsorbed amount of toluene was increased with increase in activated carbon amount. Light transmittance was decrease with increase in electrospinning time, showing that there were light transmittance in filters electrospun for 20~30 minutes.

Damages induced typhoons have been increased and super-typhoons have occurred frequently. In our study, we propose a storm risk assessment technique based on CFD for the industrial structures and equipment located in the coastal regions. Inflow wind speeds are obtained through the information of geography and meteorology in considering regions before pressures of wind-environment and structures corresponding to different winds are calculated with wind speed multiplier and pressure coefficient. The results are applicable to evaluate a warning wind speed or regions vulnerable to debris in a considering region and to examine the safety of structures and their exteriors.

An agarase was partially purified from the culture broth of marine bacterium Bacillus cereus ASK202. Optimal pH and temperature of this agarase were found to be 7.0 and 40$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The maximum productivity of agarooligosaccharides was obtained from 0.3 %(w/v) agar by using of 1 unit agarase. As the results of TLC and HPLC analysis, these oilgosaccharides consisted of neoagarobiose, neoagarotetraose and neoagarohexaose. Under the optimal reaction conditions, 77.5 %(w/v) neoagarobiose and 6.2 %(w/v) neoagarotetraose were produced from agar and the conversion yield of total agarooligosaccharides was 83.7 %(w/v) after for 2 h reaction at 40$^{\circ}C$.

Two-stage TEA(transversely excited atmospheric pressure) CO2 laser amplifier system, Amp I and Amp II are consturcted and their amplification characteristics are investigated theoretically and experimentally. Multiple-wire corona preionization method is used for uniform discharge in laser oscillator and amplifiers. At optimumm gas ratio, CO2 : N2 : He = 1 : 1 : 3, output pulse energy of the oscillator is 0.4J and finally two-stage amplification gives 1.5J output energy which is larger than pumping threshold of para-H2 Raman laser. The rate equations of the amplifiers are solved numerically, and the results are compared with the experimental results. In conclusion, the small signal gain cocfficient of AMP I is 0.025/cm and that of AMP II is 0.02/cm.
