Image segmentation is widely used in the pre-processing stage of image analysis and, therefore, the accuracy of image segmentation is important for performance of an image-based analysis system. An efficient image segmentation method is proposed, including a filtering process for super-pixels, improved saliency map information, and a merge process. The proposed algorithm removes areas that are not equal or of small size based on comparison of the area of smoothed superpixels in order to maintain generation of a similar size super pixel area. In addition, application of a bilateral filter to an existing saliency map that represents human visual attention allows improvement of separation between objects and background. Finally, a segmented result is obtained based on the suggested merging process without any prior knowledge or information. Performance of the proposed algorithm is verified experimentally.

Printed electronics is an emerging technology to realize various microelectronic devices via a cost-effective method. Here we demonstrated a high performance of p-channel and n-channel top-gate/bottom contact polymer field-effect transistors (FETs), and applications to elementary organic complementary inverter and ring oscillator circuits by inkjet processing. We could obtained high field-effect mobility more than $0.4\;cm^2/Vs$ for both of p-channel and n-channel FETs, and successfully measured inkjet-printed polymer inverters. The performance of devices highly depends on the selection of dielectrics, printing condition and device architecture. Optimized CMOS ring oscillators with p-type and n-type polymer transistors showed as high as 50 kHz operation frequency. This research was financially supported by development of next generation RFID technology for item level applications (2008-F052-01) funded by the ministry of knowledge economy (MKE).

A wind generator (WG) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system is presented here. It comprises of a variable-speed wind generator, a high-efficiency boost-type dc/dc converter and a control unit. The advantages of the aimed system are that it does not call for the knowledge of the wind speed or the optimal power characteristics and that it operates at a variable speed, thus providing high efficiency. The WG operates at variable speed and thus suffers lower stress on the shafts and gears compared to constant-speed systems. It results in a better exploitation of the available wind energy, especially in the low wind-speed range of 2.5-4.5 m/s. It does not depend on the WG wind and rotor-speed ratings or the dc/dc converter power rating. Higher reliability, lower complexity and cost, and less mechanical stress of the WG. It can be applied to battery-charging applications.

지적 구조 분석을 위해서 계량서지적 자료를 시각적으로 표현하는 다양한 네트워크 형성 방식에 대해서 사례와 함께 각각의 특성을 살펴보았다. 동시인용을 비롯한 계량서지적 자료의 시각적인 표현은 지적구조의 분석에 있어서 매우 효과적인 방법으로 인식되어왔다. 시각화를 위해서는 전통적으로 다차원척도법이나 군집분석, 대응일치분석 등의 다변량통계 분석 기법이 사용되어왔다. 최근 들어 패스파인더 네트워크를 비롯한 새로운 네트워크 형성 기법이 전통적인 기법의 대체 도구로 제시되고 있으나, 사실상 네트워크의 형태로 지적 구조를 분석하는 것은 인용분석 연구의 초기부터라고 할 수 있다. 다양한 네트워크 형성 방식의 특성에 대해서 살펴봄으로써 계량서지적 분석을 활성화하는데 도움이 되리라고 기대한다.

Integrating a 3D solid modeler with a general purpose FEM code, an automatic nonlinear analysis system of the 3D crack problems has been developed. A geometry model, i.e. a solid containing one or several 3D cracks is defined. Several distributions of local node density are chosen, and then automatically superposed on one another over the geometry model by using the fuzzy knowledge processing. Nodes are generated by the bucketing method, and ten-noded quadratic tetrahedral solid elements are generated by the Delaunay triangulation techniques. The complete finite element(FE) model generated, and a stress analysis is performed. In this system, burden to analysts fur introducing 3D cracks to the FE model as well as fur estimating their fracture mechanics parameters can be dramatically reduced. This paper describes the methodologies to realize such functions, and demonstrates the validity of the present system.

The purpose of this thesis is how to find the way of activating Korean fashion industry, by reviewing the accomplishments of British young designers, Hussein Chalayan, who are contributors to the present peak activities of British fashion. Some results come over this depressive state of Korean fashion might be proposed. Firstly, Korean government should try to direct the Korean fashion associated group to make the unified and effective results in an organized way. Secondly, Korean fashion industries and university-level fashion school should have more intimate relationship and be closely communicated with each other. Also the fashion school should watch their curriculum. and change it gradually to the up-todate one. Thirdly, the Korean new generation designers should do effort to have the highest tailoring technique and artistic good sense. Finally, the designer should have broad range of knowledge for their design. In conclusion, the government, university-level fashion schools, fashion industries and fashion designers should be positively changed and cooperated to do the best and activate Korean fashion.

In cryptographic applications, the key protection is either knowledge-based (passwords) or possession-based (tamper-proof device). Unfortunately, both approaches are easily forgotten or stolen, thus introducing various key management issues. By incorporating biometrics technologies which utilize the uniqueness of personal characteristics, the security of cryptosystems could be strengthened as authentication now requires the presence of the user. Biometric Cryptosystem (BC) encompasses the design of cryptographic keys protection methods by incorporating biometrics. BC involves either key-biometrics binding or direct key generation from biometrics. However, the wide acceptance and deployment of BC solutions are constrained by the fuzziness related with biometric data. Hence, error correction codes (ECCs) should be adopted to ensure that fuzziness of biometric data can be alleviated. In this overview paper, we present such ECC solutions used in various BCs. We also delineate on the important facts to be considered when choosing appropriate ECCs for a particular biometric based solution from accuracy performance and security perspectives.

Existing models for the shear strength degradation of reinforced concrete members present varied conceptual approaches to interpreting test data. The relative superiority of one approach over the others is difficult to determine, particularly given the sparseness of ideal test data. Nevertheless, existing models are compared using a suite of test data that were used for the development of one such model, and significant differences emerge. Rather than relying purely on column test data, the body of knowledge concerning degradation of concrete as a material is considered. Confined concrete relations are examined to infer details of the degradation process, and to establish a framework for developing phenomenologically-based models for shear strength degradation in reinforced concrete members. The possibility of linking column shear strength degradation with material degradation phenomena is explored with a simple model. The model is applied to the results of 7 column tests, and it is found that such a link is sustainable. It is expected that models founded on material degradation phenomena will be more reliable and more broadly applicable than the current generation of empirical shear strength degradation models.

Rational harmonic mode-locking of an Er-doped fiber ring laser has been successfully demonstrated up to the 16-th harmonic, of the RF frequency applied to the electro-optic modulator. This is the highest harmonic reported so far to our knowledge.
