According to most studies, assessment of aging structure is trend to detect flaw size by sensor than using existing subjective evaluation by expert for objective evaluation. But Uncertainties existing in the sensor make difference between measured flaw size and actual flaw size, In this paper, Probability of Detection(POD) have been used to quantify the uncertainties and POD is updated by relationship measured flaw size and actual flaw size (Heasler, 1990), also we proposed probabilistic updating approach method to improve measurement accuracy(the difference of measured PDF and actual PDF) by using updated POD.

In this paper we present a barcode reader to decode two-dimensional symbology PDF-417 and propose a novel method to extract the bar-space patterns directly from the gray-level barcode image, which employs the location and the distance between extreme points of each row of the barcode image. This algorithm proves to be very robust from the high convolution distortion environments such as defocussing and warping, even under badly illuminating condition. If the scanned barcode image is a result of the convolution of a Gaussian-shaped point spread function with a bi-level image, popular image segmentation methods such as image thresholding can not distinguish between very narrow bar-space patterns with a couple of pixels wide. The proposed algorithm shows improved performance over current barcode readers.

The multi-environment probability density function model has been applied to simulate the turbulent stratified premixed flames. The direct quadrature method of moments (DQMOM) has been adopted to solve the transport PDF equation due to its computational efficiency and robustness. The IEM mixing model is employed to represent the mixing process and the chemical mechanism is based on Gri 3.0 mechanism. Numerical results obtained in this study are precisely compared with experimental data in terms of unconditional and conditional means for scalar fields and velocity fields.

Entropy is the basic concept of information theory. It is well defined for random varibles with known probability density function(pdf). For given data with unknown pdf, entropy should be estimated. Usually, estimation of entropy is based on the approximations. In this paper, we consider a kernel based approximation and compare it to the cumulant approximation method for several distributions. Monte carlo simulation for various sample size is conducted.

The harmonic currents generated along with the operating speed of electrical railroad traction are very difficult to analyze because of its nonlinear characteristics. This paper therefore presents probabilistic approach for the evaluation of harmonic currents about the operating speed of the arbitrary single traction. To use probabilistic method for railroad system, PDF(Probability Density Function) using measuring data based on the realistic h 따 monic currents per operating speed is calculated. Measuring data of harmonic current per operating speed is obtained using the result data of PSCAD/EMTDC dynamic simulation based on an IAT(Intra Airport Transit) in Incheon International Airport. The means(expected values) and variances of harmonic currents of single traction also are obtained by the PDF of the operating traction speed and harmonic currents. The uncertainty of harmonic currents can be calculated through the mean and variance of PDF. The probability of harmonic currents generated with the operating of arbitrary many tractions is calculated by the convolution of functions. The harmonics of different number of tractions are systematically investigated to assess the TDD(Total Demand Distortion) for the railroad system. The calculation of TDD was carried out using Monte-Carlo Simulations(MSCs) and the results of TDD evaluation of the power quality in the IAT power feeding system.

The probability distributio function (pdf) of transmitted symbols should be asymmectric for recovering the received data in the 3rd order blind equalizer system. In this paper, we hav edesigned the blind equalizer using symmetric-asymmetric (SA) and asymmetric-symmetric (AS) transforms for less computational complexities and robustness in the noisy environments. The method of SA and AS transform was peformed using natural logarithmic operation. This paper proves that the proposed in this paper can be performed as real time operation. This paper proves that the compression factor k has no effet on transmitted symbols. Also 3rd order equalization method proposed in this paper can be performed as real time operation. As a result of computer simulatio, the computational complexity of proposed algorithm is reduced to be an half of 4th order method and MSE is enhanced as 10dB at the case of 4-PAM and 15dB at the case of 8-PAM respectivley. Conclusively, we have found that 3rd order blind equalizer can be implemented when the pdf of transmitter is asymmetric.

Magnitude of generated harmonic currents along with the operation of AC traction has nonlinear characteristics, and generated harmonic currents for high speed traction are more and more in high speed railroad(HSR) systems, especially. This paper presents probabilistic approximation method for the harmonic currents analysis about the operating speed of AC traction. To use probabilistic method for HSR system, probability density function(PDF) for collected operating speed based measure data is calculated. Mean and variance of harmonic currents of single traction are obtained based on the operating speed PDF and electrical traction model. The results of Monte Carlo Simulation(MCS) are in well accordance with the experimental and analytic methods. The harmonics of different number of trainloads are systematically investigated. It is assessed by the total demand distortion(TDD) for the HSR system.

The effect of fluctuation of Equivalence Ratio (ER) in a turbulent reactive field has been studied in order to check the global combustion characteristics induced by the local fluctuation. When the flow is premixed on a large scale, closer examination on a small scale reveals that local fluctuations of ER exist in an imperfectly premixed mixture, and that these fluctuations must be considered to correctly estimate the mean reaction rate. The fluctuation effect is analyzed with DNS by considering the joint PDF of reactive scalar and ER, followed by modeling study where an extension of stochastic mixing models accounting for the ER fluctuation is reviewed and tested. It was found that models prediction capability as well as its potential is in favor to this case accounting the local ER fluctuation. However, the effect of local fluctuation did not show any notable changes on the mean global characteristics of combustion when statistical independence between the reactive scalar and ER field is imposed, though it greatly influenced the joint PDF distribution. The importance of taking into account the statistical dependency between ER and combustible at the initial phase is demonstrated by testing the modeled reaction rate.

A magnitude of generated harmonic currents along with the operation of traction has nonlinear characteristics. The harmonic currents generated along with the operating speed of electrical railroad traction is to analyze very difficulty. This paper therefore presents probabilistic approach for the harmonic currents evaluation about the operating speed of the arbitrary single traction. To use probabilistic method for railroad system, probability density function(PDF) using measuring data based on the realistic harmonic currents per operating speed is calculated. Mean and variance of harmonic currents of single traction also are obtained the PDF of the operating speed and electrical railroad traction model. Uncertainty of harmonic currents expects to results through mean and variance with PDF. The probability of harmonic currents generated with the operating of arbitrary many tractions is calculated by the convolution of functions. The harmonics of different number of tractions are systematically investigated. It is assessed by the total demand distortion(TDD) for the railroad system.

Non-linear equalization techniques using decision feedback structure are highly demanded for cancellation of intersymbol interferences occurred in severe channel environments. In this paper decision feedback structure is applied to the linear blind equalizer algorithm that is based on information theoretic learning and a randomly generated symbol set. At the decision feedback equalizer (DFE) the random symbols are generated to have the same probability density function (PDF) as that of the transmitted symbols. By minimizing difference between the PDF of blind DFE output and that of randomly generated symbols, the proposed DFE algorithm produces equalized output signal. From the simulation results, the proposed method has shown enhanced convergence and error performance compared to its linear counterpart.
