We propose a sweeping machine is equipped with a polyester filter to retain small particles of dust. The filter is washable and can be easily removed for maintenance purpose or eventual replacement. Research continues into key areas such as making the structure of machine as ship' s floor grinder as possible, and designing algorithms and systems for efficiency-related system technologies.

There has been an ever increasing interest in mobile robot for home services. However, issues currently being investigated for path planning of the mobile robot is concentrated to solving the problem of finding the optimal path from the initial location to the final location under the given performance index. In this study, we newly present a sweeping algorithm for autonomous mobile robot to cover the whole closed area under the unknown environment. And we verify the validity the validity of the formalized algorithm by computer simulation with the changing environment conditions. In addition to this, we analyse the effect of real system implementation of the proposed algorithm to a experimental miniature mobile robit(Khepera).

Curling sweeping is one of important motion to control the position of the curling stone, and sweeping speed and applied force to the broom pad are major research subjects. In this study, a device was developed to measure the force applied to the curling broom pad in curling sweeping motion, and two load cells were mounted between the broom pad and pad holder. Analog signals generated from the load cells were sampled about 300 times per second using a micro controller, and then converted to 10-bit digital signals. Calibration of the load cell and set up of regression equations to convert the measured electrical signals into mass (force) was done by three M1 class weights, and the developed system was designed as wearable device to minimize increasing of total weight of the broom. Same force was applied to the developed system and a force plate that was using as a reference force measurement system in field of sports, and the difference between the measured values were showed about $0.909{\pm}1.375N$(mean and standard deviation). The developed system could be applied other kinds of study which required force measurement function similar to sweeping motion.

Not much work has been carried out on the load flow analysis of distribution networks. This paper introduces Newton-Raphson method using Distflow equation and Forward Sweeping method in the distribution networks. And that efficient solution scheme in a radial distribution network is presented. Also, simulation results of both Newton-Raphson method and Forward Sweeping method applied to a 22.9kV distribution system model with 120 load buses are analized and evaluated.

In this study, a test system which can test performance of curling pad was developed to support Korea curling team. The developed system consists of a water tank, a mechanical pad driving system that can perform sweeping movement using a curling pad on surface of ice made by the water tank, and temperature sensors monitoring ice and air temperatures. To control the temperature of ice and humidity/temperature of air around the ice, all system are installed in a chamber that can isolate the developed system from external environment. Eight kinds of curling pads were tested using the developed system. Test result showed that each curling pad revealed different rate of ice temperature increasing. The pad with the highest rate of ice temperature rising was found to be the same as the most preferred pad by the athletes. Therefore, it was confirmed that the method of measuring change of ice temperature by the sweeping performed in this study is an effective method to test the performance of the pad.

The present research is an experimental study on characteristics of cooling behavior for the adjacent copper blocks with surface roughness or micro-porous coated surface. The experiments were carried out at saturation state or within subcooled states of PF5060. The effects of heater orientation and the intervals between heating surfaces or substrates were investigated under various heat flux conditions. The boiling performance of copper block with micro-porous coated surface was better than that of copper block with surface roughness. It is understood that the bubble sweeping enhances boiling performance for the heaters with inclinations of $\theta=45^{\circ}\;and\;\theta=90^{\circ}$, where as the bubble flattening decreases boiling performance for the heaters with inclinations of $\theta=135^{\circ}\;and\;\theta=180^{\circ}$. In comparison to upper heater and below heater with orientation, the upper heater has lower superheat temperature than the below heater due to the bubble sweeping. It is also found that boiling performance decreases in the case of adjacent double heaters with only 0.2cm substrate interval.

In this study, to evaluate the abatement of runoff pollution loads by the road sweeping(cleaning), various investigations are implemented at the sample area of the highway. As the results of evaluating the removal efficiency of pollutants along road cleaning, TSS showed about 78 % of the removal efficiency and COD showed 49 % of removal efficiency through the operation of cleaning vehicle of vacuum suction method. In case of TN and TP, they showed the relatively-lower removal efficiency by 30~35 %. TSS removal efficiency along the number of cleaning appeared about 60 % in case of one time of cleaning and the additional removal effect did not appear though the number of cleaning increased to two times. With running speed of cleaning vehicle, TSS removal ratio is lessened from 60 % to 20 % when cleaning vehicle speed up to 20 km/hr from 6 km/hr. It seems that the reasons why the removal efficiencies are inversely proportional to its speed are related to the lower vacuum efficiencies and the disturbed particles on the road. In the pollutant build-up analysis, it is showed that it takes more time to the critical pollutant build-up in the shoulder than the center of the road. It is also showed that the proper cleaning cycle is recommended as 4~6 dry weather days without rainfall events.

The naval mine is the explosives that are installed in the water in order to attack surface ships or submarines. So mine warfare is a very important component of naval operations. In this paper, first, understanding of the general concept about mine warfare. Second, introduce the mine hunting progress and mine sweeping progress. And then, suggest the system design method of mine counter measure warfare using several functions. The functions are mine area detection algorithm for side scan sonar image using Adaboost algorithm, and calculation to mine hunting progress rate and mine sweeping progress rate. And techniques that lead the mine disposal vehicle(MDV) to mine.

This paper proposes a ranging and communicating system that uses the UWB frequency slope modulated chirp signal. Instead of using only the up-chirp and down-chirp with the same frequency sweeping rate, the proposed system uses several chirps that have different frequency sweeping rates with frequency hopping. This system performs better than the conventional communication and ranging schemes because it is capable of increasing the data transmission rate and at the same time decreasing the interference between sequences used by users. In this paper, we propose simulations of UWB communication system to show validity by using the MATLAB.

The distance join is a spatial join which finds data pairs in the order of distance when associating two spatial data sets. This paper proposes several methods to optimize the adaptive multi-stage distance join, presented in [1]. First, we optimize the sweeping index formula which is used for selecting sweeping axis during plane sweeping. Second, to improve the performance of a priority queue used for maintaining node pairs, we propose to use the maximum distance of a node pair as the second priority of the queue. Moreover, we compare trade-offs in estimating the cut-off distance between under uniformity assumption of data distribution and non-uniformity assumption. The experiments show that the proposed methods greatly improve the performance of the algorithm in CPU cost as well as in I/O cost.
