  • Since traditional static metadata set like Dublin Core has static metadata attributes about bibliography information, integration of metadata for various metadata, problems about standard and extension of metadata must be considered for applying it to new environment. Specially, as event-driven metadata write method included the notion of e-commerce come out for interoperability in digital libraries, traditional metadata management which cannot distinguish between different kinds of update operations to new extension of metadata set occurs unsuitable waiting of update operation. So, improvement is needed about it. In this paper, we show whether alleviative transaction consistency can be applied to digital library or not. Also it would divide newer metadata into static metadata attribute connected in read operation within user read-only transaction and dynamic metadata attribute in update operation within dynamic(e-commerce) update transactions. We propose newer metadata management algorithm considered in classfication of metadata attributes and dynamic update transaction. Using two version for minimal maintenance cost and ARU(Appended Refresh Unit) for dynamic update transaction, to minimize conflict between read and write operations shows fast response time and high recency ratio. As a result of the performance evaluation, we show our algorithm is proved to be better than other algorithms in newer metadata environments.

  • The conventional TTS system consists of several modules, including text preprocessing, parsing analysis, grapheme-to-phoneme conversion, boundary analysis, prosody control, acoustic feature generation by acoustic model, and synthesized speech generation. But TTS system with deep learning is composed of Text2Mel process that generates spectrogram from text, and vocoder that synthesizes speech signals from spectrogram. In this paper, for the optimal Korean TTS system construction we apply Tacotron2 to Tex2Mel process, and as a vocoder we introduce the methods such as WaveNet, WaveRNN, and WaveGlow, and implement them to verify and compare their performance. Experimental results show that WaveNet has the highest MOS and the trained model is hundreds of megabytes in size, but the synthesis time is about 50 times the real time. WaveRNN shows MOS performance similar to that of WaveNet and the model size is several tens of megabytes, but this method also cannot be processed in real time. WaveGlow can handle real-time processing, but the model is several GB in size and MOS is the worst of the three vocoders. From the results of this study, the reference criteria for selecting the appropriate method according to the hardware environment in the field of applying the TTS system are presented in this paper.

  • A swirl type mixer was developed to improve the flow mixing performance of a marine selective catalytic reduction system. In this study, the swirl type mixer and a multi-staged swirl type mixer, in which the angle of the vanes at each stage is controllable were considered to provide the optimal region of angles for the mixers. The effects of the vane angles in both mixers on the uniformity index and pressure drop were investigated using a computational fluid dynamics simulation. In the swirl type mixer, the optimal conditions for the flow mixing performance were observed at vane angles from 30 to 60 degrees when vane angles could be adjusted between 10 to 80 degrees, however, the pressure drop increased continually with increasing vane angle of the mixer. On the other hand, control of the individual staged angles of the multi-staged mixer showed that it is possible to keep enhancing flow mixing performance while reducing the pressure drop.

  • Recently, eight out of ten people have smartphone in Korea. Also, many applications of smartphone have increased. So, smartphone addiction has become a social issue. Especially, many people in smartphone addiction can't control themselves. Sometimes they don't realize that they are smartphone addiction. Many studies, mostly surveys, have been conducted to diagnose smartphone addiction, e.g. S-measure. In this paper, we suggest how to detect smartphone addiction based on ECG and Eye Gaze. We measure the signals of ECG from the Shimmer and the signals of Eye Gaze from the smart eye when the subjects see the emotional video. In addition, we extract features from the S-transform of ECG. Using Eye Gaze signals(pupil diameter, Gaze distance, Eye blinking), we extract 12 features. The classifier is trained using Random Forest. The classifiers detect the smartphone addiction using the ECG and Eye Gaze signals. We compared the detection results with S-measure results that surveyed before test. It showed 87.89% accuracy in ECG and 60.25% accuracy in Eye Gaze.

  • In this paper, we report the design, fabrication and characterization of the 3-Dimensional optical receiver for a Laser Detection And Ranging (LADAR) system. The optical receiver is composed of three parts; $16{\pm}16$ Geiger Mode InGaAs Avalanche Photodiode (APD) array device operated at 1560 nm wavelength, Read Out Integrated Circuit (ROIC) measuring the Time-Of-Flight (TOF) of the return signal reflected from target objects, a package and cooler maintaining the proper operational condition of the detector and control electronics. We can confirm that the LADAR system can detect the signal from a target up to 1.2 km away, and it showed low Dark Count Rate (DCR) of less than 140 kHz, and higher than 28%-Photon Detection Efficiency (PDE). This is considered to be the best performance of the $16{\pm}16$ FPA APD optical receiver for a LADAR system.

  • Put Safety-critical systems related to the railway communications are currently undergoing changes. Mechanical and electro-mechanical devices are being replaced by programmable electronics that are often controlled remotely via communication networks. Therefore designers and operators now not only have to contend with component failures and user errors, but also with the possibility that malicious entities are seeking to disrupt the services provided by theirs systems. Recognizing the safety-critical nature of the types of communications required in rail control operations, the communications infrastructure will be required to meet a number of safety requirements such as system faults, user errors and the robustness in the presence of malicious attackers who are willing to take determined action to interfere in the correct operation of a system. This paper discusses the safety strategies employed in the railway communications and proposes a security mechanism for Korean railway communication system. We present the developed communication safety evaluation tool based on the proposed security mechanism and also evaluate its protecting capability against the threats of masquerading, eavesdropping, and unauthorized message manipulation.

  • In this study, an WiFi fingerprinting method based on the k-nn algorithm was applied to improve the accuracy of location tracking of a moving train on a platform and evaluate the performance to minimize the estimation error of location tracking. The data related to the position of the moving train are monitored by the control center for trains and used widely for the safety and comfort of passengers. The train location tracking methods based on WiFi installed by telecom companies were evaluated. In this study, a simulator was developed to consider the environments of two cases; in already installed WiFi devices and new installed WiFi devices. The developed simulator can simulate the localized estimation of the position under a variety of conditions, such as the number of WiFi devices, the area of platform and entry velocity of train. To apply location tracking algorithms, a k-nn algorithm and fuzzy k-nn algorithm were applied selectively according to the underlying condition and also four distance measurement algorithms were applied to compare the error of location tracking. In conclusion, the best method to estimate train location tracking is a combination of the k-nn algorithm and Minkoski distance measurement at a 0.5m grid unit and 8 WiFi AP installed.

  • The traction system has been mainly used for rehabilitation and correction of patients with spine or gait diseases in orthopedics or at home. Some problems could occur in human body when patients forced their training using the traction system. So it needs to measure a traction force and control the training time. However, most of products on market have no sensor measuring traction force. Thus we designed and made a sensor detecting traction force using strain gauge, amplifier for transition to output signal and experiment devices for performance test. We carried out experiment of a sensor detecting a traction force and measured electric responses of it with respect to traction loads. Maximum error was within about 1% for experiments in static condition and the average error was about 0.7% for experiments in dynamic condition. We concluded that it is possible to use the developed sensor for measurement of traction force since the maximum output variation of a sensor detecting a traction force was about 0.3% in $0^{\circ}C-60^{\circ}C$ temperature condition.

  • This paper proposes the road roughness based Braking Pressure Calculation System(BPCS) for an Autonomous Vehicle Stability. The system consists of an image normalization module that processes the front image of a vehicle to fit the input of the random forest, a Random Forest based Road Roughness Classification Module that distinguish the roughness of the road on which the vehicle is travelling by using the weather information and the front image of a vehicle as an input, and a brake pressure control module that modifies a friction coefficient applied to the vehicle according to the road roughness and determines the braking strength to maintain optimal driving according to a vehicle ahead. To verify the efficiency of the BPCS experiment was conducted with a random forest model. The result of the experiment shows that the accuracy of the random forest model was about 2% higher than that of the SVM, and that 7 features should be bagged to make an accurate random forest model. Therefore, the BPCS satisfies both real-time and accuracy in situations where the vehicle needs to brake.
