For traffic proceeding in random directions on a plane surface the frequency of collision, if no avoiding action in taken ,is approximately proportional to the square of the traffic density and directly proportional to the size and speed of the ship, Avoiding is normally taken and the rte of collisions is therefore also governed by additional factors such as the visibility, the effectiveness of the collisionavoidance rules, the competence of personnel or watchkeeping attitude, the maneuverability of the ship and the efficiency of radar and other equipments. From the viewpoint of watchkeeper who is responsible for maneuvering, watchkeeping attitude such as lookout and action to avoid collision is the most controllable factor among those mentioned above. In practice, according to the investigation of the institution of marine courts, about 50% co collisions occurred is caused by disorbedience to steering and sailing rules of international regulations for preventing collision at sea including lookout. So we classify the process of collisions with first sight of another ship , assessment of risk of collisions and action to avoid collisions and make a factural survey about lookout and action to avoid collisions from the point on "time" and " distance", namely relationship among ship's size, speed, first sight time of another ship, action to avoid collisions ,and distance from sight of another ship to collision occurred. According to the results of the actual survey , we come to conclude that most of collisions occurred are due to improper lookout and ineffective action to avoid collision which means time lag from first sight of another ship to time of action taken to avoid collision is relatively long. is relatively long.

[$80\;\sim\;90\%$ of Information that human masters from outside are image information which depend on sight. So, in case machine takes the place of human's function, role of image processing is very important. However, because human's sight function is formed through evolution and studying for a long time, substituting it for computer attend with unexpected difficulty. In railroad, there are many field which the application of automation system is expected by using computer instead of safety watch that depend on usual human sight, macrography. But, there are many research field and conditions in the railroad when various outside conditions are considered, comparing with another field. This study analyses the recent image processing technology and reviews the task of image processing technology and its direction.]

Interactions with the environment do to firm, deny, or challenge the existing knowledge. People who suffer from the loss of the sight have difficulty conceiving the space and the direction as well as walking. In the study, it wanted to reveal that the border that Is provided as a transfer clue has psychological and functional meaning to the sight-disabled people under given circumstances. It suggests that there is another space among the physical borders and analyzes the utilization clue in the entry space, which is the first starting point that can transfer, and obstacle factors which may happen at that point. And, it also wanted to present the surrounding environmental improvement ways for walking which is smooth and confident based on them.

Since IMO(International Maritime Organization, hereafter IMO) has decided the Wing-In-Ground craft as one of the ships, A few regulations and recommendations have been revised and approved internationally and domestically. However, the navigation rules considering types and navigation characteristics to secure the safe navigation of Wing-In-Ground craft are not sufficient and especially, there are no navigation rule between Wing-In-Ground crafts. In this situation, it is judged that the navigation rules related to the Wing-In-Ground crafts in any condition of visibility should be moved to the section of the ones in sight of one another to define the responsibilities between WIG and other vessels, and the new regulation, which Type 'B' and 'C' WIGs should avoid Type 'A' WIG, has to be established to ensure the safe navigation between WIGs on the current laws.

The major cause of compressor failure is the decrease of oil viscosity due to floodback. In most previous researches on the compressor reliability, the relationship between oil circulation rate and performance or oil viscosity has been studied. Another research topic is flow visualization by using a sight glass on the bottom of a compressor sump area and accumulator. Both oil film thickness and oil level through the sight glass should be assessed for compressor reliability if the oil content of the mixture is small and low viscosity raise poor lubrication of pump bearing. In this study, the compressor reliability was assessed by measuring the viscosity of the mixture and calculating oil film thickness. The analysis of the relationship between bottom shell super heat and oil film thickness at heating operation was peformed. It is concluded that bottom shell superheat does not perfectly stand for the mixture's behavior for a low ambient heating operation and oil film thickness can give more detailed and direct criteria for compressor reliability.

A new approach for spacecraft absolute attitude estimation based on the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is extended to relative attitude estimation and navigation. This approach for nonlinear systems has faster convergence than the approach based on the standard extended Kalman filter (EKF) even with inaccurate initial conditions in attitude estimation and navigation problems. The filter formulation employs measurements obtained from a vision sensor to provide multiple line(-) of(-) sight vectors from the spacecraft to another spacecraft. The line-of-sight measurements are coupled with gyro measurements and dynamic models in an UKF to determine relative attitude, position and gyro biases. A vector of generalized Rodrigues parameters is used to represent the local error-quaternion between two spacecraft. A multiplicative quaternion-error approach is derived from the local error-quaternion, which guarantees the maintenance of quaternion unit constraint in the filter. The scenario for bounded relative motion is selected to verify this extended application of the UKF. Simulation results show that the UKF is more robust than the EKF under realistic initial attitude and navigation error conditions.

Whereas it is well known that microwave propagation around corners of urban area is estimated well by the uniform geometrical theory of diffraction (UTD), it is not clear how much depolarization occurs at a given receiver position and how much transmission through walls affects to total path loss. This paper presents the results of the ray tracing simulation to answer these questions. Simulations of microwave propagation around corners were performed for various line-of-sight (LOS) and out-of-sight(OOS) positions of a receiver, by summing the electrical fields of reflected, diffracted and transmitted rays coherently. Since height difference between transmitter and receiver, as well as ground plane, causes depolarization, the ray tracing simulation estimates the cross-polarization coupling. It was found that the cross-polarization coupling decreases as receiver moves away from transmitter. Another part of the study focused on the signal transmitted through building walls of the corner. It was found that the transmitted field is dominant at OOS region when the conductivity of the walls is low (for example, lower than 0.0l S/m). The simulation results of the ray tracing technique in this study agreed well with an experimental measurement around corners.

The analysis of the written verdicts in recent five years was conducted to obtain preventive measures of collision between fishing vessel and non fishing vessel. As a result, a collision much happened in offshore trap for fishing vessel and below 5,000 tons of small and medium class for non fishing vessel. A person involved in a marine accident occupied 68% in sixth class deck officer and small boat operator for fishing vessel and 29% in third class deck officer for non fishing vessel. 90% of the collision happened in a underway by operating state and 84% in sight of one another by visibility state. The systemic radar training was required since 47% of the collisions was occurred on the condition of radar operation in fishing vessel. The main cause of poor lookout was a intensive fishing and poor lookout on movement by radar for fishing vessel and one man watch system and no recognition of one another by radar for non fishing vessel. This result is expected to contribute for the decrease of collision.

Although there are numerous regulations provided for the Steering and Sailing Rules on the International Regulation forPreventing Collisions at Sea, 1972(hereinafter called COLREG), the most important Sailing Rules for approaching between two vessels in sight of one another could actually be defined as three typical aspects based on both the COLREG and practical sea experience. The Rules are overtaking , head-on situation and crossing situation applicable, those clearly prescribes on the COLREG. Thus, for easy understanding of these Rules comprehensive legal research is performed by every chapter in this paper so as to make practical implementation by duty officer of apprentice of shipping concerned. Consequently an aim of the study intends not only to exonerate any vessel, or the owner, master or crew there of, from consequences of well understanding and timely implementation to complying with the aforementioned three typical Steering and Sailing Rules which may be required by ordinary practice of seamen but also to avoid risk of collision at sea.

We present kinematic properties of the narrow-line region in three type-2 QSOs at z~0.35, using 2-D spectra obtained with the VIMOS integral field unit spectrograph at the Very Large Telescope. One of the objects shows a line-of-sight velocity shift of the [OIII] and $H{\beta}$ lines up to 40km/s on a 15 kpc scale, which can be interpreted as either outflow or rotation. The outflow scenario is supported by the presence of blue wings and a radio structure showing lobes in the same direction. Another object features double-peaked emission lines which can be decomposed into two velocity components. Its Hubble Space Telescope image shows two nuclei separated by ~0.2"(~1kpc), implying this may be a binary AGN.
