A method measuring angular speed and estimating angular acceleration of an automotive wind shield wiper pivot with limited resources has been proposed. Limited resources refer to the fact that processes cannot be operated in real-time with a regular notebook running a Microsoft Windows. Also, they refer to the fact that data acquisition cards have only two general purpose counters as many generic cards do. An optical incremental encoder has been employed for measuring angular motion. To measure the angular speed of the pivot, periods for the encoder's output pulses have been measured as the speed is related to the reciprocal of the period. Since only information acquired from one counter channel is the magnitude of the angular speed, sign correction is necessary. Also the information for the exact time when a pivot passes left and right dead points is also missing and the situation is inherent to the hardware setup. To find out the zero-crossing time of the angular speed, a linear interpolation technique has been employed. Lastly, to overcome the imperfection of the mechanical encoders, the angular speed has been curve fitted to a spline. Angular acceleration can be obtained by a differentiation of the angular speed.

In this study, the reliability of vehicle frames employed in small electric road sweepers was assessed through durability testing. The frames were tested under three conditions, whereby mechanical loads were applied to (1) the entire frame, (2) the front frame, and (3) the rear frame. The strain distributions in the loaded frames were determined through a combination of direct strain gauge measurements and supplementary numerical analysis. While subtle differences were observed between the experimental and numerical analyses, both methods successfully yielded comparable deformation patterns. Thus, the dependence of stress distribution and the state of the frame on loading conditions could be fully identified through our combined structural and numerical analysis.

There has been increasing interest in English-to-Korean transliteration recently. Previous ,works are related to a direct method like $\rightarrow$Korean graphemes> and a pivot method like $\rightarrow$English phoneme$\rightarrow$Korean graphemes>. Though most of the previous works focus on the direct method, transliteration, however, is a phonetic process rather than an orthographic one. In this point of view, we present an English-Korean transliteration model using grapheme and phoneme information. Unlike the previous works, our method uses phonetic information such as phonemes and their context. Moreover, we also use graphemes corresponding to phonemes. Our method shows about $60\%$ word accuracy.

SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) is a representative parallelization architecture that processes multiple data loaded in a SIMD register with a single instruction. Quicksort is a sorting algorithm that picks an element as a pivot from the array and reorders the array such that all elements having the values less than the pivot value are located in the left side on the pivot as well as all elements having the value greater than the pivot value are located in the right side on the pivot and then the algorithm performs the same task on both sublist recursively. In this paper, we propose an efficient Quicksort algorithm applying the SIMD instructions which minimally invokes conditional branches to avoid the performance degradation incurred by branch misprediction in a pipeline architecture. In addition, we improve the performance of the Quicksort algorithm by fetching data into a SIMD register as a byte unit to apply VBP (Vertical Bit Parallel) and the early pruning technique.

In tilting pad bearing design process, the selection of the proper configuration type of either a load-between-pad(LBP) or load-on-pad(LOP) as well as preload and pivot offset conditions is to be carefully considered. Also the bearing needs to be designed in order to be suited for the rotor-bearing system and operating condition. In this paper, it is observed that the dynamic characteristics in a five pad tilting pad bearing for the LBP and the LOP configurations are influenced by the variation of preload and pivot offset. In this context, rotor dynamic analysis of the 5 MW industrial gas turbine supported by the tilting pad bearing at the front and roller bearing at the rear is carried out based on the dynamic coefficients of the tilting pad bearing investigated. The result shows that two rigid body critical modes experience various changes according to the influence of the tilting pad bearing uniquely applied to one side of this machine. Mainly, the second critical speed, the rigid body mode of conical shape with high whirling in the tilting pad bearing, is significantly changed by preload and pivot offset regardless of the LBP and LOP configurations. And, the first critical mode, the rigid body mode of conical shape with high whirling in the roller bearing, is sensitively affected by preload applied to the LOP configuration and by its asymmetric dynamic properties.
