Optimal net residual dispersions (NRDs) of inline dispersion management (DM) for compensating the signal distortion of $24{\times}40$ Gbps WDM channels in optical transmission links, in which optical phase conjugator (OPC) is placed from 250 km to 750 km by spacing 50 km in 1,000 km total transmission length of single mode fiber (SMF), are induced as a function of various ope positions. And, performance improvement of WDM channels in transmission links with the induced optimal NRD is investigated by comparing with that in transmission links with NRD = 0 ps/nm. It is confirmed that optimal NRDs are decided by displacement of OPC from mid-way of total transmission length, i.e. 500 km, and the determinating and applying of optimal NRD in case of ope displacement into transmitters is more stable and effective than that in case of ope displacement into receivers from 500 km. Also, it is shown that eye opening penalties (EOPs) of WDM channels in transmission links with optimal NRD are improved by 1.5 dB to 3 dB, which are related with OPC position, from that obtained in transmission links with fixed NRD of 0 ps/nm.

The fiber-reinforced plastics and cellular injection molding process can be used to efficiently reduce the weight of battery housing components of mild hybrid electronic vehicles(MHEV) made of metal. However, the fiber orientation of fiber-reinforced plastics and the growth of foaming cells are intertwined during the injection molding process, so it is difficult to predict the mechanical properties of products in the design process. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the mechanical properties of the materials prior to the efficient stiffness design of the target product. In this study, a study was conducted to evaluated the mechanical properties of fiber reinforced cellular injection-molded specimens. Two types of fiber-reinforced plastics that can be used in the target product were evaluated for changes in tensile properties of cellular injection-molded specimens depending on the foaming ratio and position from the injection gate. The PP and PA66 specimens showed a decrease of tensile modulus and strength of approximately 30% and 17% depending on the foaming ratio, respectively. Also, the tensile strength decreased approximately 26% and 17% depending on the position from the injection gate, respectively. As a result, it was confirmed that the PP specimens have a significantly mechanical property degradation compared to the PA66 specimens depending on the foaming ratio and position.

In this paper a 3D memory system that allows 17 access types at an arbitrary position is introduced. The proposed memory system is based on two main functions: memory module assignment function and address assignment function. Based on them, the memory system supports 17 access types: 13 Lines, 3 Rectangles, and 1 Hexahedron. That is, the memory system allows simultaneous access to multiple data in any access types at an arbitrary position with a constant interval. In order to allow 17 access types the memory system consists of memory module selection circuitry, data routing circuitry for READ/WRITE, and address calculation/routing circuitry In the point of view of a developer and a programmer, the memory system proposed in this paper supports easy hardware extension according to the applications and both of them to deal with it as a logical three-dimensional away In addition, multiple data in various across types can be simultaneously accessed with a constant interval. Therefore, the memory system is suitable for building systems related to ,3D applications (e.g. volume rendering and volume clipping) and a frame buffer for multi-resolution.

Various techniques to measure the three-dimensional (3D) surface profile of a 3D micro- or nanostructure have been proposed. However, it is difficult to apply such techniques directly to industrial uses because most of them are relatively slow, unreliable, and expensive. The HiLo optical imaging technique, which was recently introduced in the field of fluorescence imaging, is a promising wide-field imaging technique capable of high-speed imaging with a simple optical configuration. It has not been used in measuring a 3D surface profile although confocal microscopy originally developed for fluorescence imaging has been adapted to the field of 3D optical measurement for a long time. In this paper, to the best of our knowledge, the HiLo optical imaging technique for measuring a 3D surface profile is proposed for the first time. Its optical configuration and algorithm for a precisely detecting surface position are designed, optimized, and implemented. Optical performance for several 3D microscale structures is evaluated, and it is confirmed that the capability of measuring a 3D surface profile with HiLo optical imaging technique is comparable to that with confocal microscopy.

The study aimed to analyze the functional differences in 3D virtual garment programs and compare body scan data with the corresponding 3D virtual models. We selected 3D virtual garment programs, formed virtual models in a representative size for high-school male cyclists, and analyzed them using the Design-X program. The results were as follows. In the 3D virtual garment programs, the anthropometric items for virtual model forming differed significantly from the standard anthropometric items suggested by Size Korea. Comparing the lower body scan data and virtual models formed by the 3D virtual garment programs, the biggest difference was in the shapes of the waist and hips, i.e., the flatness values of the waist and hips were different for each program in the cross-section view. In the lower body, a data-input-based program was needed for changing the exact measurement position of the waist circumference and hips' shape in detail. If a 3D virtual garment program provides functions for the virtual model's joint angle input and free motion transformation, it is expected to be widely used in the sportswear industry.

The purpose of this study is to propose the efficient method of 3D data registration. Three-dimensional data including the two-dimensional image acquisition apparatus and the position information are acquired at an arbitrary angle with each other. This paper proposes the more accurate and faster matching method by using this information. Four image points founded from 2D images match the volumetric size of the model and compute the homography of the axis for registration between two 3D data sets. The advantages of the proposed algorithm are the repeating process is unnecessary and the process time is faster than prvious method.

PURPOSE. This in vitro study was conducted to investigate the accuracy of intraoral scanner (IOS) for recording maximal intercuspal position (MIP) and border positions of the mandible. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Maxillary and mandibular master casts were articulated in MIP, protrusive, and lateral interocclusal position sequentially on a semi-adjustable articulator. For each articulation relation, sites of occlusal contacts (SOCs) and sites of clearance (SCs) were identified on the master casts with articulating paper (reference sites). IOS was used to take full arch scans and nine virtual interocclusal records (VIRs) for virtual articulation of models. Virtual SOCs and SCs were detected with 3D processing software and compared to those identified with the articulating paper. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated for each articulation relation. RESULTS. For MIP, IOS showed adequate sensitivity and NPV of 100%, and specificity and a PPV of 99%. For protrusive position, the IOS showed a sensitivity and a NPV of 100%, a high PPV of 86%, and a specificity of 83%. For lateral positions, the specificity and the PPV were high (93% and 79%, respectively), but the sensitivity and the NPV were below the clinically acceptable limits (28% and 56%, respectively). CONCLUSION. IOS displayed clinically acceptable accuracy for recording MIP and protrusive border mandibular position. However, IOS had less accuracy for lateral border mandibular position.

The crane operation used fur transporting heavy loads causes a swinging motion with the loads due to the crane\`s acceleration and deceleration. This sway causes the suspension ropes to leave their grooves and can cause serious damage. Ideally, the purpose of a crane system is to transport loads to a goal position as soon as possible without any oscillation of the rope. Currently, cranes are generally operated based on expert knowledge alone, accordingly, the development of a satisfactory control method that can efficiently suppress object sway during transport is essential. The dynamic behavior of a crane shows nonlinear characteristics. When the length of the rope is changed, a crane becomes a time-varying system thus the design of an anti-sway controller is very difficult. In this paper, a nonlinear dynamic model is derived for an industrial overhead crane whose girder, trolley, and hoister move simultaneously. Furthermore, a fuzzy logic controller, based on expert experiments during acceleration, constant velocity, deceleration, and stop position periods is proposed to suppress the swing motion and control the position of the crane. Computer simulation is then used to test the performance of the fuzzy controller with the nonlinear crane model.
