  • BiNem$^{(R)}$ displays have entered volume manufacturing in 2009. Applications range from e-labels to e-readers. We have developed 6-inch $960{\times}720$ pixels passive matrix BiNem prototypes achieving 40 % brightness and fluid user interface based on partial image / dynamic pointer addressing. Active-matrix addressing is proposed to provide even faster operation.

  • The present study was performed to investigate and discuss the aerodynamic characteristics of whispered and normal speech during reading paragraph tasks. 39 normal females(18-23 yrs.) read 'Autumn' paragraph with whispered and normal phonation. Their readings were recorded and analyzed by 'Running Speech' in Phonatory Aerodynamic System(PAS) instrument. As results, during whispered speech, the total duration was longer and the numbers of inspiration were more frequently shown than normal speech. The Peak expiratory and inspiratory rate were higher in normal speech, but the expiratory and inspiratory volume were higher in whispered speech. By correlation analysis, both whispered and normal speech showed significantly high correlation between total duration and expiratory/inspiratory airflow duration; numbers of inspiration and inspiratory airflow duration; expiratory and inspiratory volume. These results show that whispered speech needs more respiratory effort but shows poorer aerodynamic efficacy during phonation than normal speech.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze research trends of school library reading programs. Articles on school library reading programs were searched in four major library and information science journals and two journals specialized in reading, which resulted in total 138 papers. First article was published as early as in 1978, and after a long lull period, researches began to mushroom in 2002 and proliferated between 2013 and 2015. To identify reading programs by type, research on curriculum-linked programs including library assisted instruction and information literacy instruction accounted for 44.9%, whereas programs for promoting library use and reading interest provoking came up with a small research volume. Interdisciplinary convergence involving Korean language education fields and library and information science fields, more concern for developing useful school library reading programs and curriculum-linked programs.

  • In this paper we propose a novel volume hologram encryption system with binary amplitude masks rather than phase masks, in which volume holograms can be securely recorded against the attacks by a third party. In our system, the encryption is done by multiplexing two volume holograms in such a way that an original binary data page is first stored as a volume hologram by interference with a binary amplitude mask and then the complementary data page is stored as another volume hologram by interference with the complementary binary amplitude mask over the first hologram. The operation principle of our system is explained with the well-known theory of recording and reading a volume hologram in a photorefractive material and the experimental results are presented. Experimental data show that our encryption system is protected from blind decryptions by randomly-generated incorrect amplitude masks.

  • The purpose of this study was to analyze the measuring abilities of elementary school students by using a microgenetic method. The participants were seven elementary students in the fourth grade. To analyze their measuring abilities, students attended three physical quantities measuring tasks such as length, volume, and time task by six times. Results were as follows. First, in the measuring length task, students selected appropriate measuring instruments but they didn't consider measuring amounts. And as their measuring experience increased, they desirably improved management abilities of measuring instruments. In the measuring volume task, they dealed with measuring instruments, but not very well. And these tendency were maintained. In the measuring time task, they were not measure exactly. Second, as their measuring experience increased, their ability to read the scale marks improved. However, they had difficulties in estimating the volume between scale marks. Results indicate that, elementary students need to basic education about measuring instruments, their usage, and scale reading ability for their science experiment courses in schools.

  • The present study was performed to investigate the characteristics of breath groups while reading paragraph in normal adults and adult patients with voice disorders. 10 normal females(avr. 20.6 yrs.), 10 young voice disorder females(avr. 33.5 yrs., P1 group), and 10 old voice disorder females(avr. 56.3 yrs., P2 group) read a paragraph of 210 syllables. By using the 'Running Speech' program of the Phonatory Aerodynamic System(PAS), total duration, numbers of breath groups, duration per breath group, and numbers of syllables per breath group were measured, and their correlations with aerodynamic measurement results of reading were analyzed. As a result, in total duration, numbers of breath groups, normals scored highest and P2 group speakers, lowest. Normals showed the longest duration per breath group which was not significant. P2 group speakers showed the highest numbers of syllables per breath group. Correlation analysis showed significantly high correlation scores of total duration and expiratory airflow; numbers of breath groups and inspiratory volume.

  • The main purpose of this paper is to determine the dynamic optimal shapes of tapered column with constant volume. The linear, parabolic and sinusoidal tapers with the regular polygon cross-section are considered, whose material volume and span length are always held constant. The ordinary differential equation including the effect of axial load is applied to calculate the natural frequencies. The Runge-Kutta method and Regula-Falsi methods are used to integrate the differential equation and compute the frequencies, respectively. Then the dynamic optimal shape whose lowest natural frequency is highest is determined by reading the critical value of the frequency versus section ratio curve plotted by the frequency data. In the numerical examples, the tapered columns are analysed and the numerical result of this study are shown in table and figures.

  • This paper deals with the non-linear analysis of cantilever beams with constant volume. Numerical methods are developed for solving the elastica of cantilever ben subjected to a tip Point load and a tip couple. The linear, parabolic and sinusoidal tapers with the regular polygon cross-section are considered, whose material volume and span length are always held constant. The Runge-Kutta and Regula-Falsi methods, respectively, are used to integrate the governing differential equations and to compute the unknown value of the tip deflection. The numerical results obtained herein are shown in tables and figures. Also the shapes of strongest beams are determined by reading the minimum values form the deflection versus section ratio curves.

  • For the construction of safe and clear urban environment, it is necessary that we identify the rubbish waste volume and we know the accuracy volume. In this paper, we developed the algorithm which computes the waste volume using the stereo camera for enhancing the environment of waste repository. Using the stereo vision camera, we first computed the distortion parameters of stereo camera and then we obtained the points cloud of the object surface by measuring the target object. Regarding the points cloud as the input of the volume calculation algorithm, we obtained the waste volume of the target object. For this purpose, we suggested two volume calculation algorithm based on the uniform meshing method. The difference between the measured volume such as today's one and yesterday's one gives the reposit of waste volume. Using this approach, we can get the change of the waste volume repository by reading the volume reports weekly, monthly and yearly, so we can get quantitative statistics report of waste volume.
