Hornbeam trees(Carpinus laxiflora BL.) are growing in Korea and have good characteristics such as relatively high density, fine texture, split- resistance, and white colour. However, they have seldom been used as manufacturing materials This study was carried out to evaluate the possibility of using hornbeam wood as bent, wood furniture materials. Softening methods were steaming and micro-wave heating. The specimens of $15{\times}15{\times}350mm$ were used green or air-dried, and were steamed at $100^{\circ}C$ for 20min, or microwave heat ed f or 60 seconds. The bending processing conditions are showed in Table 3. The minimum solid-bending radii of air-dried wood were 40mm for steaming and 200mm for micro-wave heating, respectively. And that of green wood were 40mm for micro-wave heating. In conclusion, both of the steamed wood and micro-wave heated green wood showed very good solid bending processing properties, but micro-wave heated air-dried wood were not sufficient for bent-wood furniture.

In this paper, we develop a real time lip-synch system that activates 2-D avatar's lip motion in synch with an incoming speech utterance. To realize the 'real time' operation of the system, we contain the processing time by invoking merge and split procedures performing coarse-to-fine phoneme classification. At each stage of phoneme classification, we apply the support vector machine (SVM) to reduce the computational load while retraining the desired accuracy. The coarse-to-fine phoneme classification is accomplished via two stages of feature extraction: first, each speech frame is acoustically analyzed for 3 classes of lip opening using Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) as a feature; secondly, each frame is further refined in classification for detailed lip shape using formant information. We implemented the system with 2-D lip animation that shows the effectiveness of the proposed two-stage procedure in accomplishing a real-time lip-synch task. It was observed that the method of using phoneme merging and SVM achieved about twice faster speed in recognition than the method employing the Hidden Markov Model (HMM). A typical latency time per a single frame observed for our method was in the order of 18.22 milliseconds while an HMM method applied under identical conditions resulted about 30.67 milliseconds.

This paper is motivated by a military cargo-plane routing problem which is a pickup-and-delivery problem in which load splits and node revisits are allowed (PDPLS). Although this recent evolution of a VRP-model enhances the efficiency of routing, a solution method is more of a challenge since the node revisits entail closed walks in modeling vehicle routes. For such a case, even a compact IP-formulation is not available and an effective method had been lacking until Nowak et al. (2008b) proposed a heuristic based on a tabu search. Their method provides very reasonable solu-tions as demonstrated by the experiments not only in their paper (Nowak et al., 2008b) but also in ours. However, the computation time seems intensive especially for the class of problems with dynamic transportation requests, including the military cargo-plane routing problem. This paper proposes a more scalable algorithm hybridizing a tabu search for pricing subproblem paused as a single-vehicle routing problem, with a column generation approach based on Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition. As tested on a wide variety of instances, our algorithm produces, in average, a solution of an equiva-lent quality in 10~20% of the computation time of the previous method.

The development of the frequency convertors using semiconductors devices makes it possible to control the speed of A.C. motors easily. It is now economically feasible to provide them with power at adjustable frequency using silicon-controlled rectifier (or thyristor) inverters. In such a case, in order to operate an induction motor efficiently over a wide speed range, it must be supplied from a variable frequency source of which frequency is adjustable over the speed range of the motor. It is desired to observe the changes in characteristics as primary current, torque-speed of induction motor etc. at any optional frequency. Although the characteristics can be obtained by means of the conventional methods, they require very complicated precedures of calculations. The Current Diagram Method in this paper suggests a new approach to simpler calculations of the characteristics, using the motor constants at reference frequency. The conclusions of this study are summarized as follows: 1) The equations of stator current at adjusted frequency were derived to construct graphical chart and the current circle required for the Current Diagram Method. 2) The radius, center of the current circle and the vector locus, the basis for calculating the characteristics, at any desired frequency could be easily determined with the aid of both the derived graphical chart and current circle at reference frequency. 3) The method was shown to be applicable to the various types of 3-phase induction motors and also dealt with its application to the split-phase, condenser motors.

Liver transplantation is widely accepted as an effective therapeutic modality for a variety of irreversible acute and chronic liver diseases for which no satisfactory therapy is available. Following the first unsuccessful efforts at human liver transplantation in 1963, development of the procedure evolved at first slowly and steadily for 20 years and then rapidly over the past two decades. The growth of liver transplantation was facilitated by the conclusion of the national institutes of health consensus development conference in 1983 that liver transplantation is not an experimental procedure but an effective therapy that deserves broader application. The number of liver transplantations increased 2.4-fold(from 1.713 to 4.058) from 1988 to 1996. but the number of patients on the UNOS(united network of organ sharing) liver list increased 12.1-fold(from 616 to 7,467); as would be expected, the number of deaths of listed patients increased 4.9-fold(from 195 to 954), The current supply of donor livers is insufficient to meet this need, and organ donation has been stagnant or increased by only a few percent in recent years. These facts underscore the importance of the appropriate selection of candidates for liver transplantation and the development of operative procedures, such as living donor liver transplant, split liver transplant and auxiliary partial liver transplant.

Acoustics are increasingly regarded as a remote-sensing tool that provides the basis for classifying and mapping ocean resources including seabed classification. It has long been understood that details about the character of the seabed (roughness, sediment type, grain-size distribution, porosity, and material density) are embedded in the acoustical echoes from the seabed. This study developed a sophisticated yet easy-to-use technique to discriminate seabed characteristics using a split beam echosounder. Acoustic survey was conducted in Tongyeong waters, South Korea in June 2018, and the verification of acoustic seabed classification was made by the Van Veen grab sampler. The acoustic scattering signals extracted the seabed hardness and roughness components as well as various seabed features. The seabed features were selected using the principal component analysis, and the seabed classification was performed by the K-means clustering. As a result, three seabed types such as sand, mud, and shell were discriminated. This preliminary study presented feasible application of a sounder to classify the seabed substrates. It can be further developed for characterizing marine habitats on a variety of spatial scales and studying the ecological characteristic of fishes near the habitats.

일반인들이 '3차원업체영상'이라고 알고있는 홀로그램은 1947년 데니스가보 (D.Gabor)가 최초로 발견한 빛의 정보를 기록할 수 있는 특징을 가진 새로운 매체이다. 홀로그램은 물체에서 나오는 두 가지 파장의 간섭결과로서 이룩되는 간섭무늬를 기록하는 것으로 물체의 입체감 표현뿐만 아니라 빛과 공간 조형의 표현이 가능하기 때문에 시각적으로 한층 더 나은 결과를 기대할 수 있다. 홀로그램과 광고의 접목을 가정하여 기존광고매체와 홀로그램광고매체의 시각인지도를 측정 분석하여 홀로그램 광고는 기본방식의 광고보다 시각적 인지도가 높을 것인가에 대하여 알아보고, 하이테크 시대에 부합하는 새로운 광고매체로서, 홀로그램이 소비자에게 시각적으로 주의와 흥미를 유발하는데 우수하여 제3의 시각적 광고매체의 형태로 발전 가능성이 있는지에 대하여 알아본다.

To enhance the quality of defect detection for Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) during electronic product manufacturing, this study primarily focuses on optimizing the YOLOv7-based method for PCBA defect detection. In this method, the Mish, a smoother function, replaces the Leaky ReLU activation function of YOLOv7, effectively expanding the network's information processing capabilities. Concurrently, a Squeeze-and-Excitation attention mechanism (SEAM) has been integrated into the head of the model, significantly augmenting the precision of small target defect detection. Additionally, considering angular loss, compared to the CIoU loss function in YOLOv7, the SIoU loss function in the paper enhances robustness and training speed and optimizes inference accuracy. In terms of data preprocessing, this study has devised a brightness adjustment data enhancement technique based on split-filtering to enrich the dataset while minimizing the impact of noise and lighting on images. The experimental results under identical training conditions demonstrate that our model exhibits a 9.9% increase in mAP value and an FPS increase to 164 compared to the YOLOv7. These indicate that the method proposed has a superior performance in PCBA defect detection and has a specific application value.
