It is very often for the experienced diesel locomotive drivers to identify the proper replacing time for the fuel adjustment tube only based on their experience. Because of that, sometimes the locomotive's fuel is burned out due to the unnecessary torque. Or sometimes, the locomotive does not operate with its accelerating performance because the fuel is not supplied at the appropriate moment. Meanwhile, recent typical auto vehicles provide drivers with the average fuel efficiency and the instant fuel efficiency in real-time. By providing the real time display mentioned above, it is one of the good examples that those drivers, who had driven their cars not properly and used a lot of fuel with their bad driving habits, obtain the efficient driving pattern by continuous educating effect. Similarly, if the diesel locomotive provides the train driver with the optimal driving pattern within a certain driving section, it will be effective for fuel saving. It is possible to make the most effective driving pattern by performing the repeated trial running especially for the railway because the track's operating routes, its grades, and etc are relatively precise. This research analyzes the result data which was obtained by many times trial running on the identical section after equipping the fuel use measuring device to a certain test vehicle, and confirms the fuel saving effect depending on the driving pattern along the test section. At the same time, the research to establish the optimal driving pattern was progressed.

In this study, the start-type molded material, silicone resin(RTV-3040) was used to develop a mold that is utilized for embossing pattern. After selecting a required pattern using the commercial package (Freeform), we examined whether this is applicable to components creating projective embossed side on the surface. We responded to products that require corrosive pattern, such as aluminum mold, by making the starting type when small amounts of components are developing. However, the development of silicone mold that is applied to corrosive pattern showed the possible reduction in time and cost.

The effect of coolant flow pattern on the metal temperature of the combustion chamber was studied in 1.5L and 1.8L gasoline engines. One of the main important points in the design of the water jacket is the increase of the coolant flow velocity. In this paper, the water jackets of the cylinder head and the cylinder block were visualized for the purpose of improving the coolant flow pattern. By the use of this technique, the optimal design of the size and th location of the water transfer fole was possible. And, to lower the metal temperatures of the thermally critical parts, the drilled water passages were employed. To investigate of effect of the improved flow pattern and the drilled water passages, the metal temperatures of the combustion chamber were measured. As a result of the temperature measurement, it was found out that both the change of flow pattern and the drilled water passages have significant effect on the reduction of the peak metal temperature.

The accuracy of chip alignment in inferior product inspection of COG(Chip On Glass) to be measured a few micro unit is very important role since the accuracy of chip inspection depends on chip alignment. In this paper, we propose the area segmentation pattern matching method to enhance the accuracy of chip alignment. The area segmentation pattern matching method compares, and matches correlation coefficients between the characteristic features within the detailed area and the areas. The three areas of pattern circumference are learned to minimize the matching error by bad pattern. The proposed method has advantage such as reduction of matching time, and enhanced accuracy since the characteristic features are searched within the segmented area.

A high speed laser texturing method that relies on laser scanner conditions, to form pattern shapes with micro-narrow surface detail such as dotted line features is demonstrated and analyzed. For example, this method may be used to piston ring and gear part for automotive. Data on friction characteristics of two laser patterns employed for STD61 steel will be shown. Comparison of pattern depths obtained by repetition overlapping process with laser scanner to the results on friction coefficient will be provide. It will be shown that friction characteristic in dotted line patterns can significantly depend upon interaction with the lubrication and laser pattern conditions. Laser pattern processing into a shallow depth provides only slight improvement in friction, while work into a deep shape indicates a significant improvement.

EMG pattern recognition is essential for the control of a multifunction myoelectric hand. The main goal of this study is to develop an efficient feature projection method for EMC pattern recognition. To this end, we propose a linear supervised feature projection that utilizes linear discriminant analysis (LDA). We first perform wavelet packet transform (WPT) to extract the feature vector from four channel EMC signals. For dimensionality reduction and clustering of the WPT features, the LDA incorporates class information into the learning procedure, and finds a linear matrix to maximize the class separability for the projected features. Finally, the multilayer perceptron classifies the LDA-reduced features into nine hand motions. To evaluate the performance of LDA for the WPT features, we compare LDA with three other feature projection methods. From a visualization and quantitative comparison, we show that LDA has better performance for the class separability, and the LDA-projected features improve the classification accuracy with a short processing time. We implemented a real-time pattern recognition system for a multifunction myoelectric hand. In experiment, we show that the proposed method achieves 97.2% recognition accuracy, and that all processes, including the generation of control commands for myoelectric hand, are completed within 97 msec. These results confirm that our method is applicable to real-time EMG pattern recognition far myoelectric hand control.

In the current study, the authors propose a method for extracting license plate regions by means of a neural network trained to output the plate's center of gravity. The method is shown to be effective. Since the learning pattern presentation positions are defined by random numbers, a different pattern is submitted to the neural network for learning each time, which enables it to form a neural network with high universality of coverage. The article discusses issues of the optimal learning surface for a license plate covered by the learning pattern, the effect of suppression learning of the number and pattern enlargement/reduction and of concentration value conversion. Results of evaluation tests based on pictures of 595 vehicles taken at an under-ground parking garage demonstrated detection rates of 98.5%, 98.7%, and 100%, respectively.

Presently, 3D printers manufactured by material extrusion are economical and easy to use, so they are being used in various fields. However, this study conducted a tensile test on the infill pattern and density of the PLA+ material, due to the limitations of long printing time as well as low mechanical strength. The infill area for the infill density change was measured, using a vision-measuring machine for four infill patterns (concentric, zigzag, honeycomb, and cross) in which the nozzle path was the same for each layer. The tensile strength/weight[MPa/g] and tensile strength/printing time[MPa/min] of the tensile specimens were analyzed. In this study, efficient infill density and patterns are suggested, for cost reduction and productivity improvement. Consequently, it was confirmed that the infill area and infill percentage of the four patterns, were not constant according to the infill pattern. And the tensile strength of the infill density 40% of the honeycomb pattern and infill density 20% of the cross pattern, tended to highly consider the weight and printing time. Honeycomb and cross patterns could reduce the weight of the tensile specimen by 19.11%, 28.07%, as well as the printing time by 29.56%, 52.25%. Tensile strength was high in the order of concentric, zigzag, honeycomb, and cross patterns, considering the weight and printing time.

This study examined and analyzed the women's jeogoris in the Seoul Gwangjang Market and Busan Jin Market. They study explored the items to look into the current state of the Jeogori patterns, as well as investigate the flat pattern jeogoris, including its source and aspects of change. Korean women's body figure has become more westernized, and the purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of this change on the traditional jeogoris. We hope to gather valuable data, which can be used to propose a new direction for designing hanbok in the future. The study methods are as follows: First, the types of jeogori patterns were examined. Second, the current state of jeogori patterns in the Seoul Gwangjang market and Jin market in Busan were analyzed to look into how the patterns have transitioned. And lastly, the reason for the origination of the flat pattern jeogori and the type of changes will be examined. Current study results show that two pattern types are being used: the flat composition jeogori and the flat pattern jeogori. Surveys show that more than 90 percent of the jeogoris in the Seoul Gwangjang Market are of the flat composition pattern variety, while more than 90 percent of jeogoris in the Busan Jin Market are of the flat pattern variety. In 1998, western-style dress designers in Busan introduced the flat pattern jeogoris, which were used to get rid of the wrinkles caused by the extra space, into the market after the financial crisis period in Korea, as a way to revitalize the market. This new pattern was popular among tea aficionados and traditional Korean musicians. It was exposed to the public via different mediums, such as TV programs, magazines, and brochures. Busan was the first to be exposed, and then it spread to Seoul. It also seems that the reduction of production cost caused the increase of the flat pattern jeogori.

In this paper, we developed a 3D printing system using a photo-curing resin in order to reduce the surface roughness of a sculpture produced with the 3D printer. Using the pattern of the resulting variable thickness, that gave rise to a stepped shape, and the area error of the photo-curable sculpture, a study was carried out for the process to reduce the surface roughness. At a given value of stage velocity (40~70 mm/s) and output air pneumatic pressure (20~60 kPa), the minimum pattern thickness of the pattern was achieved $65{\mu}m$ and the maximum pattern thickness of up to $175{\mu}m$. To increases the pattern resolution to about $40{\mu}m$, the process conditions should be optimized. 3D surface Nano profiler was used to find the surface roughness of the sculpture that was measured to be minimum $4.7{\mu}m$ and maximum $8.7{\mu}m$. The maximum surface roughness was reduced about $1.2{\mu}m$ for the maximum thickness of the pattern. In addition, a FDM was used to fabricate the same sculpture and its surface roughness measurements were also taken for comparison with the one fabricated using photo-curing. Same process conditions were used for both fabrication setups in order to perform the comparison efficiently. The surface roughness of the photo-curable sculpture is $5.5{\mu}m$ lower than the sculpture fabricated using FDM. A certain circuit patterns was formed on the laminated surface of the photo-curable sculpture while there was no stable pattern on the laminated surface of the FDM based sculpture the other hand.
