Burrs formed during face milling operations are very hard to characterize because there are many parameters that affect the cutting process. Many researchers have tried to predict burr characteristics including burr size and shapes with various experimental conditions such as cutting speed, feed rate, in-plane exit angle, number of inserts, etc., but it still remains as a challenging problem for the complex combined effects between the parameters. In this paper, the Taguchi method, which is a systematic optimization application in design and analysis of experiments, is introduced to acquire optimum cutting parameters for burr minimization in face milling. Also, analysis of variance (AVOVA) is employed to study the performance characteristics in more detail. Experimental verifications are provided to show the effectiveness of this approach.

In order to reduce the noise of BLDC motor, a systematic optimization procedure for rotor structure is presented. The noise index is defined as the sum of volume velocity of FE-model that are calculated at the dominant frequencies during dehydration process, which is based on the principle of radiation simple volume source. Then, the five design variables are selected to represent the shape and layout or rotor structure. This discrete design optimization problem for minimizing the noise index is solved by 3-level orthogonal array based effect analysis. Finally, the response surface method (RSM) combined optimization approach is employed for more refining the approximate optimum.

Significant progress has been made recently in detection of highly sensitive volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using chemical sensors. Combined with the progress in design of micro sensors array and electronic nose systems, these advances enable new applications for detection of extremely low concentrations of breath-related VOCs. State of the art detection technology in turn enables commercial sensor systems for health care applications, with high detection sensitivity and small size, weight and power consumption characteristics. We have been developing an intelligent electronic nose system for detection of VOCs for healthcare breath analysis applications. This paper reviews our contribution to monitoring of respiratory diseases and to diabetic monitoring using an intelligent electronic nose system for detection of low concentration VOCs using breath analysis techniques.

Carbon-13 CP-MAS NMR techniques were used to investigate dynamics of new combined type liquid crystalline polymers, poly[oxy-1,4-phenyleneoxy-2-{6-(4-(4-butylphenylazo)phenoxy)hexyloxy}terephthaloyl] and poly[oxy-1,4-phenyleneoxy-2-{10-(4-(4-butylphenylazo)phenoxy)decyloxy}terephthaloyl]. Noticeable mobility change of either aromatic groups or methylene groups is not detected between 25 ℃ and 82 ℃ from 13C spinlattice relaxation time in the rotating frame (T1ρ(C)) and contact time array experiments. However, line shape analysis shows the increase of mobility of methylene carbons in poly[oxy-1,4-phenyleneoxy-2-{6-(4-(4-butylphenylazo)phenoxy)hexyloxy}terephthaloyl] at higher temperature. The dynamics of side chanis does not seem to be affected in our experimental temperature range by the length of aliphatic chain which is connecting the side chain group to the main chain.

Optimum directivity synthesis of ultrasonic transducers in linear array is considered. To realize the desired directivity, a robust and efficient method is proposed which is the direct inversion combined with the iterative DFP (Davidon-Fletcher-Powell) method. A quasi-ideal beam with the beam width and the steering beam angle specified are chosen for the numerical demonstrations. The demonstration is then extended to the case of multi-beams. The proposed combination method shows quick convergence over the single LMS or DFP method at the expense of the system matrix inversion.

In this paper, a hybrid vibration-impedance-based damage monitoring approach is experimentally evaluated for prestressed concrete (PSC) structures with local strand breakage. Firstly, the hybrid monitoring scheme is designed to alert damage occurrence from changes in vibration characteristics and to localize strand breakage from changes in impedance signatures. Secondly, a full-scale PSC anchorage is experimented to measure global vibration responses and local impedance responses under a sequence of simulated strand-breakage events. Finally, the measured data are analyzed using the hybrid monitoring framework. The change of structural condition (i.e., damage extent) induced by the local strand breakage is estimated by changes in a few natural frequencies obtained from a few accelerometers in the structure. The damaged strand is locally identified by tomography analysis of impedance features measured via an array of PZT (lead-zirconate-titanate) sensors mounted on the anchorage. Experimental results demonstrate that the strand breakage in the PSC structure can be accurately assessed by using the combined vibration and impedance features.

최근 상시 진동 탐사법은 횡파 속도 구조의 규명을 위하며 이용되고 있다 상시 진동 탐사법 중 공간자기상관(SPAC)법은 적어도 3 혹은 4개의 수신기에서 동시에 기록된 자료를 이용한다. 2sSPAC과 선형 배열 상시 진동법과 같은 수정된 SPAC법은 2개의 수신기 자료만 이용하여 횡파 속도를 추정할 수 있지만, 1.0 Hz 이상의 주파수 대역에 대한 공간 자기상판 계수가 불안정해지는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 4개의 서로 다른 크기의 삼각형 배열과 4개의 같은 크기의 삼각형 및 선형 배열을 이용한 상시 진동 측정치에 근거하여, 2 Hz 에서 4 Hz 혹은 5 Hz주파수 대역에 대한 SPAC 계수의 안정성을 증명하였다. SPAC 계수를 Bessel 함수로 회귀하는 방식으로 획득되는 위상속도는 5 Hz까지 일관성을 보여주었다. 공간평균법을 이용한 선형배열의 경우를 제외하고, 모든 자료는 SPAC법으로 처리되었다. 평행탄성파법 자료가 있는 시추공 주변에서 상시 진동 배열을 순차적으로 다른 시간에 적용하였다. 자료의 품질을 나타내는 지시자로 SPAC 계수의 허수 성분을 이용하였다. 자기상관 스펙트럼의 변화량 (어떠한 경우에는 기록된 파동장에 대한 육안 검사)에 근거하여, 측정된 자료를 '신뢰성있는(reliable)'과 '신뢰성이 없는(unreliable)'로 구분하였다. 그 후, 'reliable'과 'unreliable'로 구분된 자료와 모든 자료에 대하여 SPAC 스펙트럼의 허수 성분을 계산하고 비교하였다. 측점의 방위각 분포가 불충분한 경우 (선형 배열), 허수 성분 곡선은 불안정한 형태를 나타내었고, 이러한 결과는 불충분한 공간평균의 지시자로 간주할 수 있음을 의미한다. 하지만, 측정된 파동장이 낮은 일관성을 나타낼 경우에도 허수성분 곡선은 주목할 만한 불안정성을 나타내지 않았다.

Several genes/QTLs governing resistance/tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses have been reported and mapped in rice. A QTL for submergence tolerance was found to be co-located with a major QTL for broad-spectrum bacterial leaf blight (bs-blb) resistance on the long arm of chromosome 5 in indica cultivars FR13A and IET8585. Using the Nipponbare (japonica) and 93-11 (indica) genome sequences, we identified, in silico, candidate genes in the chromosomal region [Kottapalli et al. (2006)]. Transcriptional profiling of FR13A and IET8585 using a rice 22K oligo array validated the above findings. Based on in silico analysis and arraying we observed that both cultivars respond to the above stresses through a common signaling system involving protein kinases, adenosine mono phosphate kinase, leucine rich repeat, PDZ/DHR/GLGF, and response regulator receiver protein. The combined approaches suggest that transcription factor EREBP on long arm of chromosome 5 regulates both submergence tolerance and blb resistance. Pyruvate decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase, co-located in the same region, are candidate downstream genes for submergence tolerance at the seedling stage, and t-snare for bs-blb resistance. We also detected up-regulation of novel defense/stress-related genes including those encoding fumaryl aceto acetate (FAA) hydrolase, scramblase, and galactose oxidase, in response to the imposed stresses.

본 논문에서는 잔향과 잡음이 존재하는 실제 환경을 모델링하여 두 개의 마이크로폰을 이용한 음원 위치추정의 정확성을 향상시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 입력신호에 VAD(Voice Activity Detection)를 적용하여 묵음 구간을 제외한 음성 구간만을 사용하였고, 샘플링 주파수의 제한으로 인한 측정 범위를 벗어나는 프레임은 업샘플링(up-sampling)을 통해 지연시간을 다시 추정하였다. 여기서 계산된 도착 지연 시간은 Time-table을 참조해 주변 후보위치의 지연 값들과의 비교로 최대 파워 값을 갖는 지연 시간을 선택하여 음원 위치의 정확도를 높였다. 또한 프레임간의 상관성을 이용하여 연속된 음성 프레임의 경우 큰 추정 차가 발생하는 곳을 찾아 주변 프레임의 평균값으로 대체함으로써 음원의 위치 추정 성능을 향상시켰다.
