Since welding process for most pipelines with large diameter has been carried out by the manual process, automation of the welding process is necessary for the sake of consistent weld quality and improvement in productivity. Therefore the development of the optimized algorithm to decide the welding condition is an effective technique to prove the feasibility of interface standards and intelligent control technology to increase productivity and reduce the cost of system integration. In this study, the pipe welding experiment has been carried out using plused GMA welding process to select optimal welding condition. And necessary information in root-pass welding has been obtained by applying in the pipeline using the selected welding conditions through the welding experiment.

The indication for submandibular intubation is the requirement for intraoperative maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) in the presence of injuries that preclude nasotracheal intubation. Thus, We reported 2 cased of endotracheal intubations via submandibular approach that is applicable in patients with skull base fractures for a reliable general anesthesia. Endotracheal intubation via submandibular approach was applied during general anesthetic procedures for open reduction in three patients with Le Fort II, III or nasoorbitoethmoid (NOE) fractures. No complications due to submandibular intubation, such as infection, postoperative scarring, nerve injury, hematoma, bleeding, or orocutaneous fistula, were observed following submandibular intubation. Endotracheal intubation via submandibular approach is effective in patients with skull base fractures. In our method, the tube connector is removed in orotracheal intubation in order to avoiding the tube removal or displacement. The advantages of this method are very simple, safe, and to provide the good operation field.

The influence of physical parameters (Al mole fraction, thickness, doping concentration) in the window and emitter on the efficiency characteristics of heteroface p-$Al_{x}Ga_{1-x}As/p-GaAs/n-GaAs/n^{+}$-GaAs solar cell is investigated. The maximum efficiency theoretically calculated in this device is obtained when a thickness of the window is in a range of (400-1000))$\AA$and a thickness/doping concentration of the emitter is in a range of (0.5-0.8)$\mu$m/(1-7)${\times}10^{17}cm^{-3}$, respectively. Also is the efficiency improved according to the increase of Al mole fraction in the indirect gap window(0.41${\le}x{\le}1.0$). The optimum designed heteroface cell with an area of 0.165cm$^2$fabricated using MOCVD exhibits an active area conversion efficiency of 17%, having a short circuit current density of 21.2mA/cm\ulcorner an open circuit voltage of 0.94V, and a fill factor of 0.75 under ELH-100mW/cm$^2$illumination.

Flash memory has been widely used in mobile devices, such as mobile phone and digital camera. Recently flash SSD(Solid State Disk), having same interface of the disk drive, is replacing the hard disk of some laptop computers. However, flash memory still cannot be considered as the storage of database systems. The FTL(Flash Translation Layer) of commercial flash SSD, making flash memory operate exactly same as a hard disk, shows poor performance on the workload of databases with many random overwrites. Recently In-Page Logging(IPL) approach was proposed to solve this problem. In this paper, we implement IPL approach on SQLite, a popular open source embedded DBMS, and evaluate its performance. It improves the performance by up to 30 factors for update queries.

In this paper, we propose a document summarization method using the pseudo relevance feedback and the term weighting based on semantic features. The proposed method can minimize the user intervention to use the pseudo relevance feedback. It also can improve the quality of document summaries because the inherent semantic of the sentence set are well reflected by term weighting derived from semantic feature. In addition, it uses the semantic feature of term weighting and the expanded query to reduce the semantic gap between the user's requirement and the result of proposed method. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves better performant than other methods without term weighting.

This paper presents an automated computer vision-based system to update BIM data by leveraging multi-modal visual data collected from existing buildings under inspection. Currently, visual inspections are conducted for building envelopes or mechanical systems, and auditors analyze energy-related contextual information to examine if their performance is maintained as expected by the design. By translating 3D surface thermal profiles into energy performance metrics such as actual R-values at point-level and by mapping such properties to the associated BIM elements using XML Document Object Model (DOM), the proposed method shortens the energy performance modeling gap between the architectural information in the as-designed BIM and the as-is building condition, which improve the reliability of building energy analysis. Several case studies were conducted to experimentally evaluate their impact on BIM-based energy analysis to calculate energy load. The experimental results on existing buildings show that (1) the point-level thermography-based thermal resistance measurement can be automatically matched with the associated BIM elements; and (2) their corresponding thermal properties are automatically updated in gbXML schema. This paper provides practitioners with insight to uncover the fundamentals of how multi-modal visual data can be used to improve the accuracy of building energy modeling for retrofit analysis. Open research challenges and lessons learned from real-world case studies are discussed in detail.

Methods for mode identification and accurate measurements of the unloaded Q ($Q_0$) of a dielectric-loaded $TE_{01{\delta}}$ mode cavity resonator with HTS endplates are proposed. A resonator with a sapphire rod and $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$(YBCO) endplates was prepared and its microwave properties were studied at temperatures above 30 K. The $TE_{01{\delta}}$ mode $Q_0$ of the resonator, designed to work as a tunable resonator with variations in the gap distance (s) between the sapphire rod and the top YBCO, was more than 1000000 at s = 0 mm and at 30 K with the resonant frequency of 19.56 GHz. The $TE_{01{\delta}}$ mode $Q_0$ decreases as s increases for s < 2 mm until mode couplings between the $TE_{01{\delta}}$ mode and other modes appeared at s = 2 mm. Significant dependence of the $TE_{01{\delta}}$ mode $Q_0$ on the input and output coupling constants was also observed. Applications of the open-ended $TE_{01{\delta}}$ mode cavity resonator for a tunable resonator with a very high Q as well as a characterization tool for the surface resistance measurements of HTS films are described.

The external quality factor ($Q_e$) is controlled by coupling condition between resonator and input/output ports in design of microwave filter. In this paper, we represent extracting method of external quality factor using phase response for resonator with input/output ports according to position of feed line from microstrip line resonator. The results regarding to position, coupling gap and line width for tapped line and coupled line structure are represented, and we got the exact $Q_e$ value from the this method. This results will be applied to coupled resonator filter design.

We have tried to compare two different IDSs which are widespread over the network administrator, Snort and Suricata, in functional and performance aspects. Specifically, we focused on analyzing upon what functions for detecting threat were added newly and what Multi-Threading introduced newly for Suricata has influenced in a performance aspect. As a result, we could discover that there are some features in Suricata which has never existed in Snort such as Protocol Identification, HTTP Normalizer & Parser, and File Identification. Also, It was proved that the gap of PPS(Packets Per Second) becomes wider, as the number of CPU Cores which are working increase. Therefore, we could conclude that Suricata can be an efficient alternative for Snort considering the result that Suricata is more effective quantitatively as well as qualitatively.
