A biped walking robot which is developed as a platform for researching walking algorithm is briefly introduced. The developed walking robot has 6 degrees of freedom per one leg. The origins of the last three axis do not intersect at a point, so the kinematic analysis is cubmersome with the conventional method. In the former version of the robot, Jacobian-based inverse kinematics method is used. However, the Jacobian-based inverse kinematics method has drawbacks for the application in which knee is fully extended such as stair-case walking. The reason far that is the Jacobian becomes ill-conditioned near the singular points and the method is not able to give adequate solutions. So, a method for giving a closed-form inverse kinematics solution is proposed. The proposed method is based on careful consideration of the kinematic structure of the biped walking robot.

In this paper we propose a region-adaptive CELP image coder for still images at low bit rates below 0.5 bpp. The proposed method partitions the image into stochastically similar regions by the minimum spanning tree method and finds prediction coefficients for each region using a 2- dimensional linear prediction model. Coding is carried out on 8$\times$8 blocks and when there are several regions included in a block, an image is synthesized using the prediction coefficients of each region. Computer simulation results show that the proposed method allows improved synthesized image over conventional block-adaptive CELP methods, especially at edges. In addition, performance comparison with the JPEG DCT method shows that while the JPEG method shows block distortion and staircase effects (ragged edges) at bit rates below 0.5 bpp, the proposed CELP method shows improved synthesized images with such effects reduced.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Effect of surface treatment of ceramic under loading does not appear to have been investigated. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of surface treatment of esthetic ceramic, which is performed to increase the bonding strength, on the fracture stress under controlled cyclic loading condition. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sixty 1.0 mm-thick specimens were made from Mark II Vitablocs (Vita Zahnfabrik, Germany) and divided into 3 groups: polished (control), sandblasted, and etched. Specimens of each group were bonded to a dentin analog material base including micro-channels to facilitate the flow of water to the bonding interface. Bonded ceramics were cyclically loaded with a flat-end piston in the water (500,000 cycles, 15Hz). Following completion of cyclic loading, specimens were examined for subsurface crack formation and subsequent stress was determined and loaded to next specimen by the staircase method according to the crack existence. RESULTS: There were significant differences of mean fatigue limit in the sandblasted (222.86 ${\pm}$ 23.42 N) and etched group (222.86 ${\pm}$ 14.16 N) when compared to polished group (251.43 ${\pm}$ 10.6 N) (P<.05; Wald-type pair-wise comparison and post hoc Bonferroni test). Of cracked specimens, surface treated group showed longer crack propagation after 24 hours. All failures originated from the radial cracking without cone crack. Fracture resistance of this study was very low and comparable to failure load in the oral cavity. CONCLUSION: Well controlled cyclic loading could induce clinically relevant cracks and fracture resistance of Mark II ceramic was relatively low applicable only to anterior restorations. Surface treatment of inner surface of feldspathic porcelain in the matsicatory area could influence lifetime of restorations.

본 연구에서는 단순한 형상의 지하역사를 대상으로 준3차원 침수 흐름 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 우수유입지점 수와 우수 유입량 변화에 따른 침수 흐름 특성 및 침수 위험도를 분석했다. 침수 해석 결과로부터 보행 안정성 평가를 위한 한계유속을 계산하여 미끄러짐 및 전도 사고 발생 가능 영역을 분석했다. 그 결과, 미끄러짐 사고는 침수계단에서 발생할 가능성이 있고 전도 사고는 침수계단과 지하2층 계단 주변에서 발생할 우려가 있었다. 침수 위험도에 대한 세부적 판단을 위해 4단계로 침수 위험도를 평가하는 Flood Hazard Degree (FD)와 3단계로 평가하는 Flood Intensity Factor (FIF)를 적용했다. 그 결과, FD가 FIF에 비해 더 넓은 영역에서 침수 흐름에 의한 위험이 있는 것으로 판단했다. 한계비력, 미끄러짐 및 전도 사고 발생 한계유속, FD, FIF 방법으로 평가한 침수 위험 발생 영역을 비교했을 때 한계비력은 다른 평가 방법에 비해 침수 위험 영역을 과대 산정했고, FIF는 과소산정하는 결과를 나타냈다. 또한 모든 평가 방법을 고려했을 때 우수 유입량이 우수유입지점 수보다 침수 위험도 평가 결과에 지배적 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 동일한 방향으로 침수 흐름을 일으키는 우수 유입 조건 보다 서로 충돌하는 침수 흐름을 일으키는 조건에서 침수 위험도가 증가했다.

Objective : Middle cerebral artery occlusion[MCAO] has widely been used to produce ischemic brain lesions. The lesions induced by MCAO tend to be variable in size because of the variance in the collateral blood supply found in the mouse brain. To establish a less invasive and reproducible focal ischemia model in mice, we modified the technique used for rat photo thrombosis model. Methods : Male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to focal cerebral ischemia by photothrombosis of cortical microvessels. Cerebral infarction was produced by intraperitoneal injection of Rose Bengal, a photosensitive dye and by focal illumination through the skull. Motor impairment was assessed by the accelerating rotarod and staircase tests. The brain was perfusion-fixed for histological determination of infarct volume four weeks after stroke. Results : The lesion was located in the frontal and parietal cortex and the underlying white matter was partly affected. A relatively constant infarct volume was achieved one month after photothrombosis. The presence of the photothrombotic lesion was associated with severe impairment of the motor performance measured by the rotarod and staircase tests. Conclusion : Photothrombotic infarction in mice is highly reproducible in size and location. This procedure can provide a simple method to produce cerebral infarction in a unilateral motor cortex lesion. In addition, it can provide a suitable model for study of potential neuroprotective and therapeutic agents in human stroke.

An image restoration problem with Poisson noise arises in many applications of medical imaging, astronomy, and microscopy. To overcome ill-posedness, Total Variation (TV) model is commonly used owing to edge preserving property. Since staircase artifacts are observed in restored smooth regions, higher-order TV regularization is introduced. However, sharpness of edges in the image is also attenuated. To compromise benefits of TV and higher-order TV, the weighted sum of the non-convex TV and non-convex higher order TV is used as a regularizer in the proposed variational model. The proposed model is non-convex and non-smooth, and so it is very challenging to solve the model. We propose an iterative reweighted algorithm with the proximal linearized alternating direction method of multipliers to solve the proposed model and study convergence properties of the algorithm.

This paper proposes the novel control of a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). This STATCOM system consists of cascade multilevel inverter which employs H-bridge inverter(HBI) The STATCOM system is modeled in the d-q transform matrix. This model is used to design a controller. The selective harmonic elimination method(SHEM) allows to keep the total harmonic distortion (THD) low in the output voltage. The switching method produces the staircase type waveform in cascade multilevel inverter. To balance the DC voltages in HBIs capacitor, the rotated switching scheme is newly proposed in this paper. The proposed control scheme is verified in the simulated results.

본 연구에서는 의사사인(Sine) 방식을 사용한 간단한 계단파 PWN을 소개하였다. 제어기의 구성은 기본파 성분인 Sine값을 계단 레벨로 분할하고 각각의 값을 디지탈 합성하여 3상 PWN 인버터를 구성하였다. 3상 출력 펄스는 캐리어 주파수를 일정하게하고 기본파만 변화시켜 낮은 주파수에서 고조파 감소 효과를 얻어냈다. 실험으로는 스위칭 주파수가 20[KHz]일때 0.5마력 유도 전동기 구동을 실행하였다.
