  • Abstract :본 논문에서는 관리제어시스템의 동적특성을 허용언어(admissible language) 범위 이내에서 최적화시키는 최적 관리제어기법들을 소개한다. 본 논문에서 주로 다루고자 하는 최적 관리제어기법은 Kumar와 Garg에 의해 제안된 기법과 Cho와 Lim에 의해 제안된 계층적 최적 관리제어기법, 그리고, Sengupta와 Lafortune이 제안한 최적 관리제어기법 등이다. 첫 번째 기법에서는 우선 시스템의 최적화를 위해 고려되고 있는 비용함수(cost function)를 소개한 후, 최대흐름 최소분할생성 정리(max-flow min-cut theorem)를 이용한 최적 관리제어기 설계기법을 제시하고, 이를 부분관측 하에서도 최적 관리제어기를 설계할 수 있도록 확장한다. 그런 후 제시된 설계기법에 의해 설계된 관리제어시스템에서 발생 할 수 있는 문제점들을 지적하고, Cho와 Lim에 의해 제안된 완전 최소분할생성(complete min-cut)이라는 개념을 도입하여 지적된 문제점들을 해결할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다. 또한 시스템의 고장을 고려한 계층적 최적 관리 제어(layered optimal supervisory control)기 법을 소개한다 그리 고 마지막으로 Sengupta와 Lafortune이 제안한 최적 관리제어기법에 대해서 살펴본다.

  • BRDF (bidirectional reflectance distribution function) is critical in realistic simulation of material appearances since it models the directional characteristics of reflection of light. Although many BRDF models have been proposed so far, it is still not easy to find one specific model that could represent all the reflection properties of real materials such as generalized diffusion, off-specular reflection, Fresnel effect, and back scattering. In this paper, we compare three BRDF models including B-spline volume BRDF (BVB), Cook-Torrance, and Lafortune in their ability to represent the measured BRDF data for physically-based rendering. We show that B-spline volume BRDF surpass the others in quality of data fitting and rendering, especially for materials without specular reflections.

  • This paper presents the notion of time-coobservability as a core condition far the existence of a decentralized supervisor achieving a given language specification in a timed discrete event system (TDES). A TDES is modeled by the framework of Brandin & Wonham [5], and the decentralized supervisory control architecture presented is extended from the untimed architecture of Yoo & Lafortune [1]. To develop the time-coobservability of a language specification, specifically this paper presents the C&P time-coobservability and D&A time-coobservability in the consideration of the event tick and forcing mechanism of decentralized supervisors.

  • Athletic products must meet the needs of athletes and the demands imposed by sports through innovative design. These needs of athletes and requirements of sports are performance, protection and comfort related. In depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology, etiology of commonly reported injuries, and lower extremity mechanics form the basis of product creation/engineering. Game analysis which entails time and frequency surveys of the skills performed during a game, interviews with athletes and coaches, and discussions with medical staffs are used to identify the skills that are critical to the needs of athletes. In lab full biomechanical analyses of these skills and/or physiological responses of the athletes lead to clear functional criterions that serve as guidelines to be met by the design team. The concepts created by the design team are in turns subjected to the same battery of biomechanical analyses. The learning gathered through this pluridisciplinary process is used to further evolve design concepts. The evolution-testing loop is repeated until biomechanical and/or physiological, mechanical and perceptual tests indicate that the design concept meets the established functional design criterions. At that time, the design concepts is ready for manufacturing research and development. Additional biomechanical and physical tests are performed through that phase to confirm that the manufacturing processes preserve the functionality of the design concept. Durability and long term performance of production samples are evaluated through a final three month long weartest program. A rigorous research/testing program is crucial to create and engineer sport products that meet the performance, protection.
