본 논문에서는 우선순위와 문턱치를 가지고 최적 후보의 조기 탐지를 이용한 움직임 추정의 고속 블록 매칭 알고리즘을 제안한다. 전 영역 탐색(full search) 알고리즘의 계산량을 줄이기 위해 많은 고속 움직임 추정 알고리즘이 발표되었지만, 여전히 움직임 추정 성능을 향상시키기 위한 많은 연구가 보고되고 있다. 제안된 알고리즘은 이전 부분 매칭 오류에서 우선순위가 높은 각 후보에 대한 블록 매칭 오류를 계산한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 대부분의 기존 고속 블록 매칭 알고리즘에 추가적으로 적용하여 속도를 높일 수 있다. 그렇게 함으로써 최소 오류 지점을 조기에 찾고 불가능한 후보에 대한 불필요한 계산을 줄임으로써 속도를 높일 수 있다. 제안된 알고리즘은 전 영역 탐색 알고리즘과 동일한 예측 화질을 가지면서 기존의 고속 무손실 탐색 알고리즘보다 적은 계산을 사용한다. 실험결과로서, 제안된 알고리즘은 예측 화질 저하 없이 PDE 및 전 영역 탐색 방법의 계산에 비해 30 ~ 70%까지 줄일 수 있으며, 다른 고속 손실 알고리즘을 사용하면 더욱 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다.

Translation of tornadoes is an important feature in replicating the near-ground tornado flow field which has been simulated in previous studies based on Ward-type tornado simulators using relative motion of the ground plane. In this laboratory investigation, effects of translation on the near-ground tornado flow field were studied using the ISU Tornado Simulator that can physically translate over a ground plane. Two translation speeds, 0.15 m/s and 0.50 m/s, that scale up to those corresponding to slowly-moving tornadoes in the field were selected for this study. Compared with the flow field of a stationary tornado, the simulated tornado with translation had an influence on the spatial distribution and magnitude of the horizontal velocities, early reversal of the radial inflow, and expansion of the core radius. Maximum horizontal velocities were observed to occur behind the center of the translating tornado and on the right side of its mean path. An increase in translation speed, resulted in reduction of maximum horizontal velocities at all heights. Comparison of the results with previous studies that used relative motion of the ground plane for simulating translating tornadoes, showed that translation has similar effects on the flow field at smaller radial distances (~2 core radius), but different effects at larger radial distances (~4 core radius). Further, it showed that the effect of translation on velocity profiles is noticeable at and above an elevation of ~0.6 core radius, unlike those in studies based on the relative motion of the ground plane.

The radar cross section (RCS) of a warship is one of the most important design features in terms of her survivability in hostile environments. Ocean waves continuously changes the attitude of an objective warship to hostile radar and distorts the RCS as a result. This paper presents a dynamic RCS analysis technique and procedure that considers temporal ship motion. First, data sets are prepared for ship motions in 6 degrees of freedom, which are numerically simulated for an objective warship via frequency to time domain conversion with response amplitude operators and specified ocean wave spectra. Second, a series of RCS analysis models are transformed geometrically by referring to ship motion data sets. Finally, temporal RCS analyses are carried out with the RCS simulation code, SYSCOS. As an example, RCS analysis results are given for a virtual warship, which show that ship motions temporally change RCS values and cause RCS reduction compared with static value in terms of mean values.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of interferential current therapy (ICT) on spasticity, ROM, and the balance function in patients with stroke. Methods: 30 inpatients with stroke were randomly divided into 2 groups: the ICT group (n=15) and the placebo-ICT group (n=15). Two groups have got the traditional rehabilitation for 30 minutes before applying either ICT or placebo-ICT stimulation. The stimulus of ICT has been applied to gastrocnemius at the level of 100 Hz, two times of sensation threshold, while the placebo-ICT group has put on the electrode without electrical stimulus. To assess spasticity in ankle, the modified Ashworth scale (MAS) was used, and goniometer was applied to measure the passive range of motion (PROM). Also, the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), the Timed-up and go (TUG), and the Functional Reach Test (FRT) were carried out to examine the balance ability. Results: The ICT group showed a significant reduction of spasticity and significantly increased PROM than the placebo-ICT group (p<0.05). The placebo-ICT group did not show significant changes in the BBS, the TUG, and the FRT, while the ICT group significantly improved the BBS, the TUG, and the FRT (p<0.05). Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that ICT applied to gastrocnemius effectively decreased spasticity and improved range of motion and balance function in patients with stroke.

We propose a neuron computer for tracking motion of particles in multi-dimensional space. The neuron computer is constructed of neural networks and their connections, which is a simplified model of the brain. The neuron computer is assemblage of neural networks, it includes a control unit, and the actions of the unit are represented by instructions. We designed a neuron computer to recognize and predict motion of particles. The recognition unit is constructed of neuron-array, encoder, and control part. The neuron-array is a model of the retina, and particles crease an image on the array, where the image is binary. The encoder picks one particle from the array, and translates the particle's location to Cartesian coordinates, which is scaled in [0, 1] intervals. Next, the encoder picks another particle, and does same process. The ordering and reduction of complex processes are executed by instructions. The instructions are held in the control part. The prediction unit is constructed of a multi-layer neural network and a feedback loop, where real time learning is executed. The particles' future locations are forecasted by coordinate values. The neuron computer can chase maximum 100 particles that take evasions.

A slide-rail system is widely used in home appliances, furniture, mechanical rigs, and so many other applications; due to its high strength and performance for easy moving heavy objectives. In general, a pair of side slide-rails is set on both sides of a drawer to support and move it. So an unbalanced sliding motion can occur during opening and closing a drawer with pull and push force. To settle this problem, single central slide-rail having three collapsible rail-bodies was firstly proposed in this work. 'H'-beam shaped rail-body was newly designed to have enough bending and twisting strength. The experimental test showed that the proposed rail could be applied to large-size home appliances for easy moving drawer with heavy weight.

Platform Screen Door(PSD) has been installed and operated at seoul subway line $1\sim4$ in the manual train operation mode(ATS/ATC) by SeoulMetro since 2005. SeoulMetro uses the wireless (RF) communication system and the train door detection system for the link between the train and PSD doors opening/closing motion in the manual train operation mode. For the convenience and safety of passengers, the train doors and the PSD doors opening/closing shall be synchronized as much as possible. In ATO(Automatic Train Operation) mode which provides the interface between train control system and PSD system, ATO signaling system makes the train doors and PSD doors open/close command signals systematically, so PSD doors can be opened/closed almost simultaneously with the train doors. But, in the manual train control(ATS/ATC) mode, PSD system needs to detect the train doors open/close operation and make PSD open/close command signals to actuate PSD doors. These PSD open/close commanding process cause time delay of PSD doors opening/closing motion in response to the train doors opening/closing motion. Sometimes the response delay time can be over 1 second, which is not proper to operate PSD, and need to be reduced This paper presents the reduction method of the PSD response delay time to improve the convenience and safety of passengers.

Supplementary damping systems, such as tuned mass dampers (TMDs) and tuned sloshing dampers (TSDs) - also known as tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) - have been successfully employed to reduce building motion during wind events. A design of a damping system consisting of a TMD and two TSDs performing in unison has been developed for a tall building in Taiwan to reduce wind-induced motion. The architecturally exposed TMD will also be featured as a tourist attraction. The dual-purpose TSD tanks will perform as fire suppression water storage tanks. Linearized equivalent mechanical TSD and TMD models are coupled to the structure to simulate the multi-degree of freedom system response. Frequency response curves for the structure with and without the damping system are created to evaluate the performance of the damping system. The performance of the combined TMD-TSD system is evaluated against a conventional TMD system by computing the effective damping produced by each system. The proposed system is found to have superior performance in acceleration reduction. The combined TMD-TSD system is an effective and affordable means to reduce the wind-induced resonant response of tall buildings.

In recent years, various studies have been conducted on oscillating-water-column-type wave energy converters (OWC-WECs) with multiple chambers with the objective of efficiently utilizing the limited space of offshore/onshore structures. In this study, a numerical investigation based on a numerical wave tank was conducted on single, dual, and triple OWC chambers to examine the hydrodynamic performances and the energy conversion characteristics of the multiple water columns. The boundary value problem with the Laplace equation was solved by using a numerical wave tank based on a finite element method. The validity of the current numerical method was confirmed by comparing it with the measured data in the previous experimental research. We undertook a series of numerical simulations and observed that the water column motion of sloshing mode in a single chamber can be changed into the piston motion of different phases in multiple OWC chambers. Therefore, the piston motion in the multiple chambers can generate considerable airflow at a specific resonant frequency. In addition, the division of the OWC chamber results in a reduction of the time-dependent variability of the final output power from the device. As a result, the application of the multiple chambers leads to an increase of the energy conversion performance as well as a decrease of the variability of the wave energy converter.
