This paper presents a method for occluded object based motion estimation and tracking system in dynamic image sequences using particle filter with 3D reconstruction. A unique characteristic of this study is its ability to cope with partial occlusion based continuous motion estimation using particle filter inspired from the mirror neuron system in human brain. To update a prior knowledge about the shape or motion of objects, firstly, fundamental 3D reconstruction based occlusion tracing method is applied and object landmarks are determined. And optical flow based motion vector is estimated from the movement of the landmarks. When arbitrary partial occlusions are occurred, the continuous motion of the hidden parts of object can be estimated by particle filter with optical flow. The resistance of the resulting estimation to partial occlusions enables the more accurate detection and handling of more severe occlusions.

Although extensive efforts have been devoted to the optimal design of composite laminated plates in recent years, some practical issues still need further research. Two of them are: the handling of the ply angle as either continuous or discrete; and that of the uncertainties in material properties, which were treated as continuous and ignored respectively in most researches in the past. In this paper, an algorithm for stacking sequence optimization which deals with discrete ply angles and that for thickness optimization which considers uncertainties in material properties are used for a two step optimization of composite laminated plates. In the stacking sequence optimization, the branch and bound method is modified to handle discrete variables; and in the thickness optimization, the convex modeling is used in calculating the failure criterion, given as constraint, to consider the uncertain material properties. Numerical results show that the optimal stacking sequence is found with fewer evaluations of objective function than expected with the size of feasible region taken into consideration; and the optimal thickness increases when the uncertainties of elastic moduli considered, which shows such uncertainties should not be ignored for safe and reliable designs.

The optimum grillage design belongs to nonlinear constrained optimization problem. The determination of beam scantlings for the grillage structure is a very crucial matter out of whole structural design process. The performance of optimization methods, based on penalty functions, is highly problem-dependent and many methods require additional tuning of some variables. This additional tuning is the influences of penalty coefficient, which depend strongly on the degree of constraint violation. Moreover, Binary-coded Genetic Algorithm (BGA) meets certain difficulties when dealing with continuous and/or discrete search spaces with large dimensions. With the above reasons, Real-coded Micro-Genetic Algorithm ($R{\mu}GA$) is proposed to find the optimum beam scantlings of the grillage structure without handling any of penalty functions. $R{\mu}GA$ can help in avoiding the premature convergence and search for global solution-spaces, because of its wide spread applicability, global perspective and inherent parallelism. Direct stiffness method is used as a numerical tool for the grillage analysis. In optimization study to find minimum weight, sensitivity study is carried out with varying beam configurations. From the simulation results, it has been concluded that the proposed $R{\mu}GA$ is an effective optimization tool for solving continuous and/or discrete nonlinear real-world optimization problems.

For many decades, railroad technology was used to set up tracks with jointed rails and lengths in accordance with rolling and handling technology. The joints lead to drawbacks in the track and in controlling rising maintenance costs. So, railroad engineers became interested in eliminating joints to increase loads, speeds and improvements in rolling, welding, and fastening technology. Continuous welded rail(CWR) track has many advantages over the conventional jointed-rail track. In the case of the elimination of rail joints, it may cause the track to be suddenly and laterally buckled by thermal forces and vehicle load. Thermal forces are caused by an increase in the temperature of railway track. For many years, many analytical and experimental investigations have been conducted to improve the safety of CWR track by various research center in many country. In this paper, CWR track model and CWRB program is developed for buckling analysis using finite element method(FEM). The finite element discretization is used for a rail element with a total of 14 degrees of freedom. The stiffness of the fasteners, tie, and ballast bed is included by a set of spring elements. The investigation on the buckling modes and temperature of CWR track is presented in this paper

A semi-active suspension is an automotive technology that controls the vertical movement of the vehicle while the car is driving. The system therefore virtually eliminates body roll and pitch variation in many driving situations including cornering, accelerating, and braking. This technology allows car manufacturers to achieve a higher degree of both ride quality and car handling by keeping the tires perpendicular to the road in corners, allowing for much higher levels of grip and control. An onboard computer detects body movement from sensors located throughout the vehicle and, using data calculated by opportune control techniques, controls the action of the suspension. Semi-active systems can change the viscous damping coefficient of the shock absorber, and do not add energy to the suspension system. Though limited in their intervention (for example, the control force can never have different direction than that of the current speed of the suspension), semi-active suspensions are less expensive to design and consume far less energy. In recent time, the research in semi-active suspensions has continued to advance with respect to their capabilities, narrowing the gap between semi-active and fully active suspension systems. In this paper we are studied the characteristics of vehicle movement during the field test with conventional and semi-active suspension system.

This survey was carried out to investigate the utilization situation of fire-wood boiler by the questionnaire and personal interview on rural and mountain households of Gangwon province from 1998 to 2005. The questionnaire include 7 questions on installation, 7 questions on fuel, 3 questions on use, and 3 questions on improvement. Each question was analyzed by percentage to investigate the use situation. This survey indicated that the general problems in use of fire-wood boiler are fuel purchase, collection and transportation, that the development of the household heating boiler using wood-based forming fuel which is cheap, small volume, easy handling, convenient purchase and high heat efficiency could be an alternative to improve the problems and that the continuous expansion of the supply of fire-wood boiler can prevent the devastation of forest through the regulation of imprudent fuel supply. Although the financial aid plan on the installation of fire-wood boiler is in active, many petty households in rural and mountain areas lose a chance to install the fire-wood boiler due to the unsatisfactory information. Thus, it will be desirable for municipal government to prepare the information plan to offer the equal chance and condition to all households in rural and mountain areas and to increase the financial aid for the continuous supply of fire-wood boiler.

This study is a step in developing the sliding mode control methodology for the robust control of a class of nonlinear time-varying systems. The methodology uses in its idealized form piecewise continuous feedback control, resulting in the state trajectory "sliding" slong a time-varying sliding surface in the state space. This idealized control law achieves perfect tracking. The method is applied to the control of a two-link manipulator handling variable loads in a flexible manufacturing system environment with noise. The result through simulation is that the tracking problem of articular robot with high precision can be realized by using the variable structure system (VSS) theory. The motions of articular robot were insensitive to various payloads. payloads.

We frequently use Tukey's boxplot to identify outliers in the batch of observations of the continuous variable. In doing so, we implicitly assume that the underlying distribution belongs to the family of normal distributions. Such a practice of data handling is often superficial and improper, since in reality too many variables manifest the skewness. In this short paper, we build a modified boxplot and set the outlier identification procedure by assuming that the observations are generated from the skew normal distribution (Azzalini, 1985), which is an extension of the normal distribution. Statistical performance of the proposed procedure is examined with simulated datasets.

This paper discusses a stochastic stabilization of Takagi-Sugeno (75) fuzzy system with Markovian input delay. The finite Markovian process is adopted to model the input delay of the overall control system. It is assumed that the zero and hold devices are used for control input. The continuous-time 75 fuzzy system with the Markovian input delay is discretized for easy handling delay, accordingly, the discretized 75 fuzzy system is represented by a discrete-time 75 fuzzy system with jumping parameters. The stochastic stabilizibility of the jump 75 fuzzy system is derived and formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMls).
