This paper introduces a PC-based image data processing unit that is composed of preprocessor board and main processor board; The preprocessor contains Inmos A110 processor and efficient H/W architecture for fast mask/logic operations at the speed of video signal rate. It is controlled by the main processor which communicates with the host PC. The main processor board contains TI TMS320C31 digital signal processor, and can access the frame memory of the processor for extra S/W tasks. We test 3*3, 5*5 masks and logic operations on 386/486/DSP and compare the result with that of the proposed unit. The result shows ours are extremely faster than conventional CPU based approach, that is, over several hundred times faster than even DSP.

There come various types of robot with researches for mobile robot. This paper introduces the multi-joint snake robot having 16 degree of freedom and composing of eight-axis. The biological snake robot uses the forward movement friction and the proposed artificial snake robot uses the un-powered wheel instead of the body of snake. To determine the enable joint angle of each joint, the controller inputs are considered such as color and distance using PC Camera and ultra-sonic sensor module, respectively. The movement method of snake robot is sequential moving from head to tail through body. The target for movement direction is decided by a certain article be displayed in the PC Camera. In moving toward that target, if there is any obstacle then the snake robot can avoid by itself. In this paper, we show the method of snake robot for tracing the target with experiment.

전남대학교 치과대학 학생을 대상으로 평행촬영법으로 촬영한 168장의 구내방사선사진을 디지털 영상으로 변환하여, 필름상의 치석 유무 판독 결과와 모니터상의 판독 결과를 비교하였다. 3명의 구강악안면방사선학 전공 치과의사가 판독을 하되 필름상의 판독 결과를 판정의 기준으로 하였다. 디지털 영상은 상업용 필름-비디오 변환장치, 486DX PC, 그리고 PcVision과 frame grabber을 이용하여 얻었다. 모니터상의 개개 구내방사선사진상은 700×480 pixel로 나타내었다. 디지털 영상의 치석진단의 sensitivity는 0.79-0.90(평균 0.86) 이었고, specificity는 0.03-0.43(평균 0.17) 이었다.

In order to improve the productivity of cold forging at low production cost, an integrated system's approach is necessary in handling the material preparation and the optimum process design, considering the forming machines, tooling, and operation including quality control. As the first step toward this approach, an expert system for multi-stage cold forging process design for fasteners with various head geometries is developed using Prolog language on IBM 486 PC. For effective representation of the complex part geometries, the system uses the multiple element input, and the forward inference scheme in determination of the initial billet size and intermediate forging steps. In order to determine intermediate steps, the basic empirical rules for extrusion, heading, and trimming were applied. The required forming loads and global strain distributions at each forging step were calculated and displayed on the PC monitor. The designed process sequence drawing can be obtained by AutoCAD. The developed system will be useful in reducing trial and error of design engineers in determining the diameter and height of the initial cylindrical billet from the final product geometry and the intermediate necessary sequences.

In case of off-line character recognition with statistical method, the character recognition speed for Korean or Chinese characters is slow since the amount of calculation is huge. To improve this problem, we seperate the recognition steps into several functional stages and implement them with hardwares for each stage so that all the stages can be processed with pipline structure. In accordance with temporal parallel processing, a high speed character recognition system can be implemented. In this paper, we implement a classification hardware, which is one of the several functional stages, to improve the speed by parallel structure with multiple DSPs(Digital Signal Processors). Also, it is designed to be able to expand DSP boards in parallel to make processing faster as much as we wish. We implement the hardware as an add-on board in IBM-PC, and the result of experiment is that it can process about 47-times and 71-times faster with 2 DSPs and 3 DSPs respectively than the IBM-PC(486D$\times$2-66MHz). The effectiveness is proved by developing a high speed OCR(Optical Character Recognizer).

This paper is a study on the design and implementation of the Korean Text-to-Speech system which is used for a small and simple system. In this paper, a parameter synthesis method is chosen for speech syntheiss method, we use PARCOR(PARtial autoCORrelation) coefficient which is one of the LPC analysis. And we use phoneme for synthesis unit which is the basic unit for speech synthesis. We use PARCOR, pitch, amplitude as synthesis parameter of voice, we use residual signal, PARCOR coefficients as synthesis parameter of unvoice. In this paper, we could obtain the 60% intelligibility by using the residual signal as excitation signal of unvoiced sound. The result of synthesis experiment, synthesis of a word unit is available. The controlling of phoneme duration is necessary for synthesizing of a sentence unit. For setting up the synthesis system, PC 486, a 70[Hz]-4.5[KHz] band pass filter for speech input/output, amplifier, and TMS320C30 DSP board was used.

This paper presents a real-time multibody vehicle dynamic analysis method using recursive Kanes formulation and suspension composite joints. To shorten the computation time of simulation, relative coordinate system is used and the equations of motion are derived using recursive Kanes formulation. Typical suspension systems of vehicles such as MacPherson strut suspension system is modeled by suspension composite joints. The joints are derived and utilized to reduce the computation time of simulation without any degradation of kinematical accuracy of the suspension systems. Using the develop program, a multibody vehicle dynamic model is formed and simulations are performed. Accuracy of the simulation results is compared to the real vehicle field test results. It is found that the simulation results using the proposed method are very accurate and real-time simulation is achieved on a computer with single PowerPC 604 processor.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the awareness of child rearing among parents of children in early childhood and to provide fundamental data for parent education programs according to child rearing type. Methods: Q-methodology which provides a method of analyzing the subjectivity of each item was used. Forty Q items which were derived from a literature review and interviews with nurturing mothers were classified into a normal distribution using a 9-point scale. Collected data were analyzed using the QUANAL PC Program. Results: Four types of parents' child rearing were identified. Type I was named 'affection-respect type', type II, 'concern-rule compliant type', type III, 'solicitude-model type', and type IV, 'geniality-encouragement type'. Conclusion: For proper growth and development during early childhood, parents should have rational information and awareness of their child rearing type. Results of this study can be used as essential data to develop child rearing education programs according to parents' child rearing attitude.

EHMACC and EHPC programs written in VAX version to calculate the tight-binding extended Huckel method is converted into the micro-soft fortran available to PC. The band calculation of LaNiO3 unit cell and extended ($2{\times}2{\times}1$) cell with perovskite structure is made by the PC/386 and PC/486. The calculation is also made for the DOS and the COOP. It is supposed that the electronic property of $LaNiO_3$ is semiconductor along to the ${\Gamma}{\rightarrow}H,\;H{\rightarrow}N,\;and\;N{\rightarrow}{\Gamma}(2D)$ direction with band gap about 0u.35 eV, while metal property in ${\Gamma}{\rightarrow}P\;and\;P{\rightarrow}N(3D)$ direction. The oxygen atom property in $LaNiO_3$ is more effectively affected by oxygen atom position than defect of nickel atom.

This paper describes the implementation of the toolkit software for the DICOM. the international standards of medical imaging. Well known toolkits do not have the functions related to imaging or ported to Windows OS after developed at UNIX OS or do not have mechanism for the speed and memory management or have complicated structure comes from DICOMI complexity. The toolkit introduced in this paper was designed for the hospital environments. It handles mass images at Windows based PC system. supports multi-threading to enhance the efficiency. supports every functions in Object Oriented Programming style needed at clinical application which makes the rapid development of the DICOM related applications. The results says that the toolkit can display 50 CT, 50 MR, 10 CR and 10 DX images in 12 seconds and occupy small quantity of physical memory at usual PC system.
