The passenger security screening is a mandatory procedure for boarding the aircraft according to ICAO standard as well as national law of each country. The enhanced threat of terrorism have had the security procedure strengthened since 9/11 events. However the effectiveness of passenger screening is not satisfactory and the service level for passenger is getting worse because of tightened security measurements. This research studied the responsibility issue for the enhancement of the effectiveness and service quality in passenger security screening. The study concluded that a desirable responsibility assignment for passenger screening is to the airport authority at normal time and to the government authority at the time of high threat.

This paper addresses a fleet operation planning problem for a static freight container transportation system in which all the transportation requirements are predetermined at the beginning of a planning horizon. In the transportation system under consideration, a number of loaded containers are to be moved between container storage yards. An optimal fleet planning model is used to determine the minimum number of vehicles required. Based on the results from the optimal model, a tabu-search based algorithm is presented to perform a given transportation requirements with the least number of vehicles. The performance of the new procedure is evaluated through some experiments in comparison with two existing methods, and the it is found that our procedure produces good-quality solutions.

Vibration-based structural identification has become an important tool for structural health monitoring and safety evaluation. However, various kinds of uncertainties (e.g., observation noise) involved in the field test data obstruct automation system identification for accurate and fast structural safety evaluation. A practical way including a data preprocessing procedure and a vector backward auto-regressive (VBAR) method has been investigated for practical bridge identification. The data preprocessing procedure serves to improve the data quality, which consists of multi-level uncertainty mitigation techniques. The VBAR method provides a determinative way to automatically distinguish structural modes from extraneous modes arising from uncertainty. Ambient test data of a cantilever beam is investigated to demonstrate how the proposed method automatically interprets vibration data for structural modal estimation. Especially, structural identification of a truss bridge using field test data is also performed to study the effectiveness of the proposed method for real bridge identification.

Stud penetrate welding is an important item of composite floor in modern steel structure, especially in high-rise buildings. But it is difficult to get satisfied welding quality due to all kinds of factors. In this paper, the author put forward a new welding procedure named method of energy control through analysis and comparison of the wave curves of stud welding based on large amount of experiments and tests in laboratory and construction areas. The use of this welding procedure in some large engineering in recent years proved that this method is effective and practicable

In this paper, we present an efficient handover method avoiding ping-pong phenomenon in Wireless LAN systems. In order to provide the seamless VoIP service for terminals with mobility in Wireless LAN systems. Since the variation range of the received signal strength of the moving terminals is large, the handover procedure can be started by an instant drop of the signal strength. Then the handover procedure is repeated, which makes ping-pong phenomenon. Since the quality of service of VoIP can be lowered by ping-pong phenomenon, in this paper, we present the necessary condition to avoid the ping-pong phenomenon. Through LAB test, we show that the proposed handover method can provide an seamless service without the ping-pong phenomenon.

The traditional RAP (Redundancy Allocation Problem) of complex systems has considered only the redundancy of subsystem with homogeneous components. In this paper we extend it as a RAP of complex systems with heterogeneous components which is more flexible than the case of homogeneous components. We model this problem as a nonlinear integer programming problem, find its optimal solution by tabu search, and suggest an example of the efficient reliability design with heterogeneous components. In order to improve the quality of the solution of the tabu search, we suggest a modified tabu search to employ an adaptive procedure (1-opt or 2-opt exchange) to generate the efficient neighborhood solutions. Computational results show that our modified procedure obtains better solutions as the size of problem increases from 30 to 50, even though it requires rather more computing time. With some adjustment of the parameters of the proposed method, it can be applied to the optimal reliability designs of complex systems of ships.

Recently, advanced video coding techniques using segmentation technique have been actively researched as candidates for video coding of MPEG-4 standard. The conventional segmentation techniques are unsuitable for real-time process because they have sequential structure. In this paper, we propose a new image segmentation technique using competitive learning neural network for vector quantization. The proposed segmentation procedure consist of prefiltering, primary and secondary segmentation, and a small region ellimination process. Primary segmentation segments input image in detail. Secondary segmentation merges similar region using a repetitive FSCL(Frequency sensitive competive learning) neural network. In this process, it is possible to segment an image from high resolution to low resolution by adjusting the number of repetition. Finally, small regions are merged into adjacent regions. Experimental results show that the procedure described yields reconstructed images of reasonably acceptable quality at bit rates of 0. 25 - 0.3 bit/pel.

This report analyzes the Source Qualification Test which is composed of main functional and environmental tests for the localizing avionics(electronic subsystem for aircrafts and spacecraft) and high performance mechanical subsystem. Especially the detail test approaches of integrated servo actuators which is the main part to supply the power to the main and other flying control panel. Nowadays this subsystem works with mechanical and electrical engineering technique. In detail, electrical signal is used as input and transferring tool and mechanical part is the output as a power and manufacture the physical dimensions and functions. Finally in this review, the new test procedure to prove the function by the new manufacturer is established.

We present in this paper two versions of a general correction procedure applied to a classical linear iterative method. This gives us the possibility, under certain assumptions, to obtain an extension of it to inconsistent linear least-squares problems. We prove that some well known extended projection type algorithms from image reconstruction in computerized tomography fit into one or the other of these general versions and are derived as particular cases of them. We also present some numerical experiments on two phantoms widely used in image reconstruction literature. The experiments show the importance of these extension procedures, reflected in the quality of reconstructed images.

This paper describes the procedure of implementing a real-time speech codec, G.723.1 which was developed by DSP Group and standardized by ITU-T, using fixed-point DSP, ADSP-2181. This codec has two bit rates associated with it, 5.3 and 6.3 kbit/s. We implemented only one bit rate, 6.3 kbit/s, of the two with fixed-point 32-bit precision. According to the result of the experiment, the amount of computational burden is about 55 MIPS and its quality is similar to the result of the PC simulation with floating-point arithmetic. In this paper, we proposed a method to use a fixed-point DSP and a procedure for developing a real-time speech codec using DSPs and finally developed a G.723.l speech codec for ADSP-2181.
