  • This paper describes a research work of developing a computer-aided design and manufacturing of irregular shaped sheet metal product for blanking or piercing and bending operations. An approach to the system is based on the knowledge-based rules. Knowledge for the system is formulated from plasticity theories experimental results and the empirical knowledge of field experts, This system has been written in AutoLISp on the AutoCAD and in customer tool kit on the SmartCAM with a personal computer and is composed of nine modules which are input and shape treatment, flat pattern-layout, pro-processor module. Based on the knowledge-based rules, the system is designed by considering several factors, such as material and thickness of product complexities of blank geometry and punch profile sheet metal to give flat pattern and automatically account for the adjustment of bending allowances to match tooling requirements by checking dimensions and generating NC data automatically according to drawings of die-layout module. Results carried out in each module will provide efficiencies to the designer and the manufacturer of blanking or piercing and bending die in this field.

  • 소프트웨어 개발 프로젝트에서 메트릭 수집 및 분석 활동이 점차 중요하게 인식되고 있다. 메트릭 수집 및 분석 활동은 조직/프로젝트, 팀, 개인 모든 레벨에서 수행되어야 하는 중요한 활동으로 여겨져 오고 있다. Personal Software Process(PSP)[1]에서 개발자 개개인이 수행해야 되는 메트릭 수집 및 분석 활동이 제시된다. 이러한 메트릭 수집 및 분석 활동을 통해 개발자는 소프트웨어 품질 향상, 계획 단계에서 보다 정확한 예측 활동, 개인 프로세스의 정량적 관리 등의 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 이러한 이득을 얻기 위해서는 신뢰성 있는 메트릭 데이터의 수집이 무엇보다 중요하게 된다. 그러나 메트릭 수집의 오버헤드와 context switching 과 같은 문제로 인해 개발자가 신뢰성 있는 메트릭을 수집하는데 많은 어려움이 겪는다[2, 3]. 또한 PSP 가 제시하는 분석 기법만으로는 수집된 메트릭에 대하여 의미 있는 분석을 하기 어려운 문제점이 존재한다. 이러한 문제점들을 감소 시키기 위해 메트릭 수집 및 분석 도구를 개발하였고 본 논문에서는 이 개발된 도구를 설명한다. 이 도구의 핵심은 메트릭의 자동 수집과 다양한 분석 결과의 제공을 통해 신뢰성 있는 메트릭 데이터의 획득과 의미있는 분석을 가능케 하는 데 있다.

  • The corrosion degradation characteristics of the 12Cr alloy steel, which is widely used in fossil power plants as a turbine blade material, are evaluated nondestructively by use of the backward radiated Rayleigh surface wave. In order to evaluate corrosion degradation characteristics, we constructed automated system for the backward radiation, and the frequency dependency of the Rayleigh surface wave is investigated indirectly by measuring the angular dependency of the backward radiation of the incident ultrasonic wave in the specimens. The velocity of the surface wave decrease as the increase of the aging time in the backward radiation profile, which seems to result from the increase of the effective degrading layer thickness. And, amplitude of the surface wave increase as the aging time, which seems to result from the increase of the intergranular corrosion. The result observed in this study demonstrates high potential of the backward radiated ultrasound as a tool for the nondestructive evaluation of the corrosion degradation characteristics of the aged materials.

  • Burr is a projected part of finished workpiece. It is unavoidable and undesirable by-product of most metal cutting or shearing process. Also, it must be removed to improve the fit of machined parts, safety of workers, and the effectiveness of finishing operation. But deburring process Is one of manufacturing processes that have not been successfully automated, so deburring automation is strongly needed. This paper focused on developing a basic algorithm to find edge of workpiece and match two different image data for deburring automation which includes automatic recognition of parts, generation of deburring tool paths and edge/comer finding ability by analyzing the DXF drawing file which contains information of part geometry. As an algorithm fur corner finding, SUSAN method was chosen. It makes good performance in finding edge and corner in suitable time. And this paper suggested a simple algorithm to find matching point between CCD image and drawing file.

  • In this paper, we propose a solution to the software maintenance problem that is a primary factor of software crisis. We surveyed and analyzed the current software maintenance problems through questionnaires and interviews. As a result, we defined the software maintenance management life cycle and established a fundamental strategies to solve the software maintenance problems efficiently. We also designed a software maintenance management support systems to construct an automated software maintenance management tool. Furthermore, tp improve the formalization and reliability of the software maintenance management procedure, we defined acost predictive model using a fixed-single parameter based on comprehensive program size for the source code and delivered effort(person/month). We elaborated the model by considering an experience level of maintainer, a skill- level defined by the manager, and a reliability level required by the model of maintenance management.

  • Amplification by universal consensus sequences in pathogenic bacterial DNA would allow rapid identification of pathogenic bacteria, and amplification of genus-specific and species-specific sequences of pathogenic bacterial DNA might be used for genotyping at the genus and species levels. For design of probes for molecular diagnostics, several tools are available as stand-alone programs or as Web application. However, since most programs can design only a few probe sets at one time, they are not suitable for large-scale and automatic probes design. Therefore, for high-throughput design of specific probes in diagnostic array development, an automated design tool is necessary. Thus, we developed a Web-based automatic system for design of genus-specific and species-specific probes for pathogen detection. The system is available at http://www.miprobe.com.

  • We have developed a tool for annotation of electronic health record (EHR) data. Currently we are in the process of manually annotating a corpus of Norwegian general practitioners' EHRs with mainly linguistic information. The purpose of this project is to attain a linguistically annotated corpus of patient histories from general practice. This corpus will be put to future use in medical language processing and information extraction applications. The paper outlines some of our practical experiences from developing such a corpus and, in particular, the effects of semi-automated annotation. We have also done some preliminary experiments with part-of-speech tagging based on our corpus. The results indicated that relevant training data from the clinical domain gives better results for the tagging task in this domain than training the tagger on a corpus form a more general domain. We are planning to expand the corpus annotations with medical information at a later stage.

  • We report on the improvement of critical dimension (CD) linearity on a photomask by applying the concept of process proximity correction to a laser lithographic process used for the fabrication of photomasks. Rule-based laser process proximity correction (LPC) was performed using an automated optical proximity correction tool and we obtained dramatic improvement of CD linearity on a photomask. A study on model-based LPC was executed using a two-Gaussian kernel function and we extracted model parameters for the laser lithographic process by fitting the model-predicted CD linearity data with measured ones. Model-predicted bias values of isolated space (I/S), arrayed contact (A/C) and isolated contact (I/C) were in good agreement with those obtained by the nonlinear curve-fitting method used for the rule-based LPC.

  • GIS is essential to regional development and management in informatization age. But utilization of GIS in Korea remains still elementary area of automated mapping or facility management. In this paper, we suggest executable principles that are able to enhance and improve the efficiency of regional development affairs using GIS DB. In order to accomplish the role of planning support tool, GIS DB have to be plentiful geographic contents. Metadata DB, user-friendly application interface and compatibility of data between the public and the private must be constructed in GIS DB. And geographic information should be shared between the public and the private.

  • This paper proposes a structure based on a production method of concept art focused on the player's experience through a module by using the game aesthetics of the MDA framework. And also a partially automated process established in concept art production by using the 'Adobe Color image color extraction' as a tool in the work production process. This paper proposed a work process of not just a personal expression but a systematic molding expression to use, and this could see as the various possibilities of game concept art productions.
