  • This study proposes the analysis and evaluation method of time series ultrasonic signal using the attractor analysis. Features extracted from time series signal analyze quantitatively characteristics of weld defects. For this purpose, analysis objective in this study is fractal dimension and attractor quadrant feature. Trajectory changes in the attractor indicated a substantial difference in fractal characteristics resulting from distance shifts such as parts of head and flange even though the types of defects are identified. These differences in characteristics of weld defects enables the evaluation of unique characteristics of defects in the weld zone. In quantitative fractal feature extraction, feature values of 3.848 in the case of part of head(crack) and 4.102 in the case of part of web(side hole) and 3.711 in the case of part of flange(crack) were proposed on the basis of fractal dimensions. Proposed attractor feature extraction in this study can enhance the precision rate of ultrasonic evaluation for defect signals of rail weld zone such as side hole and crack.

  • In this paper, the new type wiggly directional coupler which uses the fractal coupled shape in coupled sections is presented. A commercial software has been used to analyze this new structure and the simulation results are compared to those of the conventional wiggly directional coupler. To verify the simulation results, the new type wiggly directional coupler was fabricated with the center frequency of 15GHz. The measurement results shows that the coupling of new structure proposed in this paper is more than that of conventional wiggly coupler. The results in this paper also show that the fractal shape coupled lines in wiggling sections can improve the coupling characteristics in wiggly directional coupler.

  • This paper presents the ECG data compression using wavelet transform (WT) and adaptive fractal interpolation (AFI). The WT has the subband coding scheme. The fractal compression method represents any range of ECG signal by fractal interpolation parameters. Specially, the AFI used the adaptive range sizes and got good performance for ECG data cmpression. In this algorithm, the AFI is applied into the low frequency part of WT. The MIT/BIH arhythmia data was used for evaluation. The compression rate using WT and AFI algorithm is better than the compression rate using AFI. The WT and AFI algorithm yields compression ratio as high as 21.0 wihtout any entropy coding.

  • Fractal manufacturing system (FrMS) distinguishes itself from other manufacturing systems by the fact that there is a fractal repeated at every scale. A fractal is a volatile organization which consists of goal-oriented agents referred to as AIR-units (autonomous and intelligent resource units). AIR-units unrestrictedly reconfigure fractals in accordance with their own goals. Their goals can be dynamically changed along with the environmental status. Since goals of AIR-units are represented as fuzzy models, an AIR-unit itself is a fuzzy logic controller. This paper presents a goal regulation mechanism in the FrMS. In particular, a reinforcement learning method is adopted as a regulating mechanism of the fuzzy goal model, which uses only weak reinforcement signal. Goal regulation is achieved by building a feedforward neural network to estimate compatibility level of current goals, which can then adaptively improve compatibility by using the gradient descent method. Goal-oriented features of AIR-units are also presented.

  • Irregular shapes and growth behavior of surface micro-crack showed very complex and nonlinear propeties and many investigators have performed theoretical analysesand experiments on them to characterize fatigue strength. They had difficulties in estimating fatigue life due to random distribution, growth and coalescence of surface micro-cracks. The straightness of crack growth along intergranular and transgranular was prevented from irregular microstructure and precipitates. Euclid geometry can't quantify shape of surface micro-crack but ftractal geometry can. Therefore, it is suggested that average fractal dimension of surface micro-cracks is able to estimate fatigue life but fractal dimension of maximum surface micro-crack is not in Al 2024-T3 alloy.

  • Fractal coding is a promising method for image compression, but it has not lived up to its promise as low bit-rate image compression scheme. The existing algorithms for finding self-mapping contractive transforms are computationally expensive and offer a poor rate-quality tradeoff. In this paper, we propose a segment based fractal coding. We classify the range blocks into shade, midrange or edge blocks, and segment edge block along the edge. And we apply midrange coding scheme for each segment. Our experiments show that our method gives better rate-qualty trade of than current fractal block coding methods.

  • We studied the creation of fractal images with polygonal rotation symmetry. As in Loocke's method[13] we start with IFS of affine functions that create polygonal fractals and extends the IFS by adding functions that create Julia sets instead of adding square root functions. The resulting images are rotationally symmetric and Julia set shaped. Also we can improve fractal images by modifying probabilistic IFS algorithm, and we suggest a method of deforming Julia set by changing exponent value.

  • In order to use component for various domain, it need to add tangling code. Component reuse suffers from it. AOP was resolved this problem. We present in this paper a component model, called fractal, that added aspect interface using mixin class named joinController interface. Mixin class are used to combine controller object and interceptor object. we design the dynamic weaver that use the decorator pattern, for increase the reuse of aspect.
