A preliminary study was carried out to investigate the feasibility of replacing honeycomb cores with pyramidal truss cores in the doors of urban transit railway vehicles. The doors in current operation are sandwich structures comprising a honeycomb core and reinforcements between two facesheets. The structural requirements of doors for urban transit vehicle are specified in the KRS and KRT and standards, according to which the deflections from three-point bending tests must be limited. To this end, two types of pyramidal truss cores with equivalent mass to a honeycomb core were designed. The structural stiffness of doors with pyramidal truss cores and honeycomb cores were numerically calculated via finite element analysis. The three-point bending models were constructed and simulated, and then the calculated deflections were compared with the requirements specified in the regulations. The results show that doors with pyramidal truss cores satisfied the stiffness requirements, although their deflections were 2.5% larger than that of the honeycomb cores. Therefore, the pyramidal truss cores could replace the aluminum honeycomb cores, and their multi-functional capability could be exploited.

본 논문에서는 피라미드 구조와 쿼드트리를 이용하는 움직임 보상 프레임 보간(motion compensated frame interpolation, MCFI)의 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 일반적인 MCFI 방법에서는 고정된 크기의 프레임과 블록에서 움직임 벡터(motion vector, MV)를 이용하여 두 프레임 사이의 프레임 영상을 추정한다. 그러나 이와 같은 방법은, 큰다양한 방향으로 움직이는 물체들의 MV 나 큰 움직임을 추정하기 어렵다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 블록 크기와 정합 영역이 가변적으로 적용될 수 있는 피라미드 구조와 쿼드트리를 이용한 프레임 보간 기법(pyramid structure and quadtree motion compensated frame interpolation, PQ-MCFI)를 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 물체들이 빠르게 움직이는 장면과 다양한 방향으로 움직이는 장면에서 이전의 기법에 비해서 높은 PSNR 을 보이며, 실제 인간의 시각적인 측면에서는 더욱 정밀한 결과를 보인다.

We report on the growth and characterization of nano and micro scale GaN structures selectively grown on the vertex of hexagonal GaN pyramids. $SiO_2$ near the vertex of hexagonal GaN pyramids was removed by optimized photolithgraphy process and followed by a selective growth of nano and micro scale GaN structures by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). The pyramidal GaN nano and micro structures which have crystal facets of semi-polar {1-101} facets were formed only on the vertex of GaN pyramids and the size of the selectively grown nano and micro GaN structures was easily controlled by growth time. As a result of TEM measurement, Reduction of threading dislocation density was conformed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in the selectively grown nano and micro GaN structures. However, stacking faults were newly developed near the edge of $SiO_2$ film because of the roughness and nonuniformity in thickness of the $SiO_2$ film.

디지틸 멀티미디어 시대를 맞이하여 영상통신 기술이 급속히 발전함에 따라 보다 사실감과 몰입감을 줄 수 있는 3차원 입체 영상처리에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 최근 국내외 연구기관에서 다차원 멀티미디어 서비스 개발을 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, MPEG 표준화 그룹에서도 H.264/AVC 압축 방법을 이용한 다시점 비디오 부호화(multi-view video coding, MVC) 방법들이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 격자 피라미드 GOP 구조 기반의 다시점 비디오 부호화 방법에 대해 기술하였다. 이 방법은 현재 MPEG 표준화 그룹에서 권고된 ‘Anchor’ 방법에서 고려치 못한 인접 시점간의 공간적인 상관도를 효과적으로 활용하기 위해 격자 GOP구조를 제안했고, 각 시점에 대한 효율적인 부호화를 위해 계층적 피라미드 GOP 구조를 이용하였다. 또한, 공간적인 예측의 경우에 시점간의 전체 변이 (global disparity)를 고려하여 가변적인 탐색 범위를 이용하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법은 현재 MPEG에서 성능 평가의 기준이 되는 ‘Anchor’ 방법에 비해 동일 비트율에서 0.5${\sim}$0.8 dB 정도의 성능 향상을 보였다.

The pyramid graph is well known in parallel processing as a interconnection network topology based on regular square mesh and tree architectures. The enhanced pyramid graph is an alternative architecture by exchanging mesh into the corresponding torus on the base for upgrading performance than the pyramid. In this paper, we adopt a strategy of classification into two disjoint groups of edges in regular square torus as a basic sub-graph constituting of each layer in the enhanced pyramid graph. Edge set in the torus graph is considered as two disjoint sub-sets called NPC(represents candidate edge for neighbor-parent) and SPC(represents candidate edge for shared-parent) whether the parents vertices adjacent to two end vertices of the corresponding edge have a relation of neighbor or sharing in the upper layer of the enhanced pyramid graph. In addition, we also introduce a notion of shrink graph to focus only on the NPC-edges by hiding SPC-edges within the shrunk super-vertex on the resulting shrink graph. In this paper, we analyze that the lower and upper bounds on the number of NPC-edges in a Hamiltonian cycle constructed on $2^n{\times}2^n$ torus is $2^{2n-2}$ and $3{\cdot}2^{2n-2}$ respectively. By expanding this result into the enhanced pyramid graph, we also prove that the maximum number of NPC-edges containable in a Hamiltonian cycle is $4^{n-1}$-2n+1 in the n-dimensional enhanced pyramid.

The Pyramid-Technique is based on mapping n-dimensional space data into one-dimensional data and expressing it as B-tree ; and by solving the problem of search time complexity the pyramid technique also prevents the effect \"phenomenon of dimensional curse\" which is caused by treatment of hypercube range query in n-dimensional data space. The Spherical Pyramid-Technique applies the pyramid method’s space division strategy, uses spherical range query and improves the search performance to make it suitable for similarity search. However, depending on the size of data and change in dimensions, the two above technique demonstrate significantly inferior search performance for data sizes greater than one million and dimensions greater than sixteen. In this paper, we propose a new index-structured PdR-Tree to improve the search performance for high dimensional data such as multimedia data. Test results using simulation data as well as real data demonstrate that PdR-Tree surpasses both the Pyramid-Technique and Spherical Pyramid-Technique in terms of search performance.

In this paper, we propose a new method for the fabrication of GaN microstructures formed only on the vertex of GaN pyramid by using of metal catalysts. GaN pyramidal structures were selectively grown on 3 ${\mu}m$ $SiO_2$ dot patterns followed by thin film deposition of Au and Cr only on the vertex area of the GaN pyramids with precisely controlled photolithography. After the metal deposition, the samples were loaded in the MOVPE reactor for the growth of GaN microstructures for 10 minutes. Temperature for the growth of the GaN microstructures was changed from $650^{\circ}C$ to $750^{\circ}C$. Rod type GaN microstructures were grown in the direction of vertical to the six {1-101} facets and the shape of the GaN microstructures was changed depend on the type of metal.

In this study, the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics within sandwich panels are investigated using computational fluid dynamics. Within the sandwich panels having periodic cellular cores, air can freely move inside the core section so that the structure is able to perform multi-functional roles such as simultaneous load bearing and heat dissipation. Thus, there needs to examine the thermal and flow analysis with respect to design variables and various conditions. In this regard, ANSYS Fluent was utilized to explore the flow and heat transfer within the pyramidal truss sandwich structures by varying the truss angle and inlet velocity. Without the entry effect in the first unitcell, the constant rate of pressure and the constant rate of Nusselt number was observed. As a result, it was demonstrated that Nusselt number increases and friction factor decreases as the inlet velocity increases. Moreover, the rate of Nusselt number and friction factor was appreciable in the range of V=1-5m/s due to the transition from laminar to turbulent flow. Regarding the effect of design variable, the variation of truss angle did not significantly influence the characteristics.

Inner structured and bonded panel, or ISB Panel, as a kind of sandwich type panel, has metallic inner structures which have low relative density, because of their dimensional shape of metal between a pare of metal skin sheets or face sheets. In this work, ISB panels and inner structures formed as repeated pyramidal shapes are introduced. Pyramidal structures are formed easily with expanded metal sheet by the crimping process. Three kinds of pyramidal structures are made and used to fabricate test specimen. Through the multi-point electrical resistance welding, inner structures are bonded with skin sheet. 3-point bending tests are carried out to measure the bending stiffness of ISB panel and experimental results are discussed.
