This paper describes a general approach for processing data from an omni-directional guided wave transducer array for the rapid inspection of large plate structures. A basic phased array algorithm is presented that can be applied to any array geometry. For guided waves on plate, beam steering algorithm is derived and the corresponding beam pattern is analyzed. The algorithms are applied to simulation and experimental data. The results show well its usefulness in structural applications.

The experiments of laser-guided de discharge were carried out by using pulsed Nd:YAG laser radiation at low air pressure ranging from 0.3 to 20 torr. The minimum laser-guided de discharge voltages($V_{MD}$) at given pressure and distances between anode and cathode electrode were obtained. In order to generate TEM(transverse electromagnetic waves) modes, a pinhole was installed between a rod and a half mirror, and its diameter was adjusted from 6mm to 1.7mm. And then, we investigated the characteristics of laser-guided de discharge corresponding to different TEM modes. As a result, it was found that $V_{MD}$ at $TEM_{00}$ mode was lower than $V_{MD}$ at multimodes.

Ultrasonic guided waves are gaining increasing attention for the inspection of platelike and rodlike structures. At the same time, inspection methods that do not require contact with the test piece are being developed for advanced applications. This paper capitalizes on recent advances in the areas of guided wave ultrasonics and noncontact ultrasonics to demonstrate a superior method for the nondestructive detection of thinning defects simulating hidden corrosion in thin aluminum plates. The proposed approach uses EMAT(electro-magnetic acoustic transducer) for the noncontact generation and detection of guided plate waves. Interesting features in the dispersive behavior of selected guided modes are used for the detection of plate thinning. It is shown that mode cutoff measurements provide a qualitative detection of thinning defects. Measurement of the mode group velocity can be also used to quantify of thinning depth.

The vehicle routing problem determines each vehicle routes to find the transportation costs, subject to meeting the customer demands of all delivery points in geography. Vehicle routing problem is known to be NP-hard, and it needs a lot of computing time to get the optimal solution, so that heuristics are more frequently developed than optimal algorithms. This study aims to develop a heuristic method which combines guided local search with a tabu search in order to minimize the transportation costs for the vehicle routing assignment and uses ILOG programming library to solve. The computational tests were performed using the benchmark problems. And computational experiments on these instances show that the proposed heuristic yields better results than the simple tabu search does.

Guided-waves-based mortar-filled steel pipe inspection is carried out through using EMAT (Electro magnetic acoustic transducer) and wavelet transform. Possibly existing anomalies such as separation (or void) and inclusion are made in the fabricated mortar-fled steel pipes: these anomalies are infected. Since guided waves have the long range inspection capability, EMAT has its own advantages over the conventional PZT (Piezoelectric zirconate titanate), and wavelet transform gives the multi-resolution on time-frequency domain results, the suggested technique gives an alternative way for inspecting mortar-filled steel pipes, which are popularly used for supporting marine structures such as piers, wharfs, moles, and dolphins. Through this study, it is show that the suggested technique is promising for detecting the amounts of separations and inclusions.

현재 나오는 많은 음성 인식기가 대체로 높은 정확도를 가지고 있더라도, 음성 인식 오류는 여전히 빈번하게 발생한다. 음성 인식 오류는 관련 어플리케이션에 있어 많은 오동작의 원인이 되므로, 음성 인식 오류는 고쳐져야 한다. 본 논문에서는 Trie 기반 사전을 이용한 Guided Sequence Generation을 제안한다. 제안하는 모델은 목표 단어와 그 단어의 문맥을 Encoding하고, 그로부터 단어를 Character 단위로 Decoding하며 단어를 Generation한다. 올바른 단어를 생성하기 위하여, Generation 시에 Trie 기반 사전을 통해 유도한다. 실험을 위해 모델은 영어 TV 가이드 도메인의 말뭉치의 음성 인식 오류를 단순히 Simulation하여 만들어진 말뭉치로부터 훈련되고, 같은 도메인의 음성 인식 문장과 결과로 이루어진 병렬 말뭉치에서 성능을 평가하였다. Guided Generation은 Unguided Generation에 비해 14.9% 정도의 오류를 줄였다.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive histogram projection technique for dynamic range compression and an efficient detail enhancement method which is enhancing strong edge while reducing noise. First, The high dynamic range image is divided into low-pass component and high-pass component by applying 'guided image filtering'. After applying 'guided filter' to high dynamic range image, second, the low-pass component of the image is compressed into 8-bit with the adaptive histogram projection technique which is using global standard deviation value of whole image. Third, the high-pass component of the image adaptively reduces noise and intensifies the strong edges using standard deviation value in local path of the guided filter. Lastly, the monitor display image is summed up with the compressed low-pass component and the edge-intensified high-pass component. At the end of this paper, the experimental result show that the suggested technique can be applied properly to the IR images of various scenes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a quality assurance model and to determine appropriate warranty period for a guided missile using its field data. Methods: 10 years of actual firing data is collected from the defense industry company and military. Parametric maximum likelihood estimation for a reliability function is determined with the data. Results: The reliability function estimates average lifetime of the missile. That function shows a user requirement, 80% reliability (lifetime) is come up when 8 years have passed, which is longer than the estimates in the missile's development phase. Conclusion: Quality assurance warranty for a guided missile must be established with actual test data. It is necessary to update and modify the reliability prediction and the warranty period with actual field test data.

Attenuation of fundamental longitudinal guided wave propagating liquid-filled steel pipes is numerically investigated. Several liquids such as water, diesel oil, castor oil etc. are considered for the filing materials in the pipes. Sink is considered for numerical models for abandoning standing wave modes; hence the attenuation dispersion curves become much simpler. Those attenuation calculations can be utilized for guided-wave-based nondestructive testing of pipelines when one inspects pipelines, using monitoring sensors, which are installed outside pipes.

Automatic Guided Vehicle Systems feature battery powered driverless vehicles with programming capabilities for path selection and positoning. Vehicles serve the machines in shop, following a guide path system installed on the shop floor. The basic problem in the system is to determine a fixed set of vehicle routes of minimal total distance(time) while keeping capacity and distance(time) constraints. In this paper, a heuristic algorithm is presented for scheduling the automatic guided vehicles. The algorithm routes the machines based on their distances and polor coordinate angles, taking into account the structural feature of the system. Computational experiments are performed on several test problems in order to evaluate the proposed algorithm. Finally, a framework for dealing with the case where supplies from the machines are probabilistic is described.
