We have fabricated nanodot arrays by using phase separated (PS- b- PMMA) diblock copolymer film and anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane as templates with hexagonal arrays of cylindrical microdomains perpendicular to the substrate. Pulsed laser deposition technique was used to deposit various kinds of materials including Ag, Ni, ZnO, Si:Er, and Co/Pt onto Si substrates. The size and separation of nanodots correspond to those of the templates used, The density of nanodots was estimated to be $6{\times}10^{11}/cm^2$ and $1{\times}10^{10}/cm^2$ when the diblock copolymer and AAO were used, respectively. In particular, the optical properties of ZnO and Si: Er nanodot arrays were investigated and the strong photoluminescence at 380 nm and $1.54{\mu}m$ was observed from ZnO and Si:Er nanodot arrays, respectively.

In this paper, we propose a simple and efficient algorithm for head pose estimation using a single camera. First, four subimages are obtained from the camera image for face feature extraction. These subimages are used as feature templates. The templates are then tracked by Kalman filtering, and camera projective matrix is computed by the projective mapping between the templates and their coordinate in the 3D coordinate system. And the user's face pose is estimated from the projective mapping between the user's face and image plane. The accuracy and the robustness of our technique is verified on the experimental results of several real video sequences.

Applications running under embedded systems require various device drivers designed for different types and versions of the OS to manage resources effectively. In this paper, an automated device driver generator system which can generate the device drivers to be used in newer versions the target OS is proposed. In the proposed system, the structures of device drivers of specific OS are designed in the templates and stored in a library, and the target device drivers are generated by adding codes to the stored templates. Once device drivers are generated, they are registered into the kernel. The experimental results show that data transfer time has been slightly increased when compared against manually created drivers for TFT-LCD driver, USB interface keyboard/mouse driver, and AC'97 controller drivers. The code size for the generated drivers after compilation has also been increased slightly when compared with manually designed device drivers.

In this paper, we propose a synthesis method of software fault tree from software requirements specification written in NuSCR formal specification language. The software fault tree, proposed in this paper, reflects requirements on both structure and behavior and it is an integrated form. The software fault tree can be used for analyzing safety in the view of structure and behavior. We propose templates for each components in NuSCR specification language and a synthesis method of software fault tree using the templates. The research was applied into the main trip logic of the reactor protection system of ARP1400, the Korean next generation nuclear reactor system, developed by KNICS. And we evaluate feasibility of our approach through this case study.

In this study, physically and chemically stable core-crosslinked amphiphilic polymer (CCAP) nanoparticles were prepared using amphiphilic reactive precursors via soap-free emulsion process. Obtained CCAP nanoparticles were used as templates for synthesis of nanostructured $TiO_2$ nanoparticles. First, CCAP nanoparticles dispersed aqueous solutions were mixed with titanium isopropoxide to prepare stable organic-inorganic hybrid sols, and then obtained sols were spin coated onto glass substrate to prepare hybrid thin films onto glass, and then hybrid thin films were calcinated at various temperature to remove CCAP. Nanostructure of calcinated thin fims were examined by SEM. To study effect of CCAP nanoparticles on nanostructure of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles, the morphology of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles prepared using various CCAP templates was compared with that of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles prepared using conventional organic template, nonionic surfactant, Triton X-100.

This paper proposes an algerian of generating a tuner-template from multiple fingerprint impressions using a data fusion technique for fingerprint enrollment. The super-template is considered as a single fingerprint template which contains most likely true minutiae based on multiple fingerprint images. The proposed algorithm creates the super template by utilizing a recursive Bayesian estimation method (RBEM), which assumes a sequential fingerprint input model and estimates the credibility of the minutiae in previous input templates froma current input template. Consequently. the RBEM assigns a higher credibility to commonly detectable minutiae from several input templates and a lower credibility to rarely found minutiae from other input templates. Likewise, the RBEM is able to estimate a credibility of the minutia type (ridge ending or bifurcation). Preliminary experiments demonstrate that, as the number of fingerfrint images increases, the performance of recognition can be improved while maintaining the processing time and the size of memory storage for tile super-template almost constant.

Although Sequencing & Navigation(S&N) of ADL SCORM 2004 specifies relatively simple ones of possible sequencing behaviors based on IMS SS(Simple Sequencing) in learning context, it is practically not easy to implement the sequencing properly within SCORM content packages. Actually, many Korean content developers construct SCORM content packages by choosing one out of well-known LSAL sequencing templates and just inserting their contents into it. In this paper, we survey a number of widely used SCORM sequencing templates provided by LSAL, ADL and Xerceo, and also domestic conventional SCORM sequencing models, and then present a new SCORM sequencing models well conformant to Korean e-learning environments. We finally develop 3 types of SCORM sequencing templates and their contents samples by applying our sequencing models to a number of available domestic SCOs. We expect that our products can be widely used and referenced as a guidance by content developers troubled in implementing a variety of SCORM sequencings.

Fall event detection is one of the most common problems for elderly people, especially those living alone because falls result in serious injuries such as joint dislocations, fractures, severe head injuries or even death. In order to prevent falls or fall-related injuries, several previous methods based on video sensor showed low fall detection rates in recent years. To improve this problem and outperform the system performance, this paper presented a novel approach for fall event detection in the elderly using a subtraction between successive difference images and temporal templates in real time environment. The proposed algorithm obtained the successful detection rate of 96.43% and the low false positive rate of 3.125% even though the low-quality video sequences are obtained by a USB PC camera sensor. The experimental results have shown very promising performance in terms of high detection rate and low false positive rate.

Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are being faced with rapid changes in their business environments due to evolution of technologies and innovation in societal eco-systems. Particularly, dynamic interactions between such environments and enterprise activities have become significant, so technology planning, which is a process of identifying appropriate directions regarding product and technology development, has received much attention to cope with such dynamics proactively. However, SMEs typically have limits in performing independent, strategical and systematical technology planning activities due to the lack of human, material and financial resources. This paper proposes the development of a product roadmapping method so that SMEs carry out efficient technology planning activities with interconnections of external business environments. The present work provides product roadmap templates that directly accommodate the influence of business environments on the product's system and its associated super/sub-systems with the use of external environment analysis techniques including TRIZ methodology, PEST and 5Forces analysis. These templates are useful to efficiently forecast the directions of product's development and evolution, which arise from changes in external environments. Consequently, the present work enables SMEs to flexibly cope with the era of the next R&D generation, which pursues value creation through mutual interconnection between business environments and technology development.

Abstract Perspective views provide a powerful depth cue and thus aid the interpretation of complicated images. The main drawback of current perspective volume rendering is the long execution time. In this paper, we present an efficient perspective volume rendering algorithm based on coherency between rays. Two sets of templates are built for the rays cast from horizontal and vertical scanlines in the intermediate image which is parallel to one of volume faces. Each sample along a ray is calculated by interpolating neighboring voxels with the pre-computed weights in the templates. We also solve the problem of uneven sampling rate due to perspective ray divergence by building more templates for the regions far away from a viewpoint. Since our algorithm operates in object-order, it can avoid redundant access to each voxel and exploit spatial data coherency by using run-length encoded volume. Experimental results show that the use of templates and the object-order processing with run-length encoded volume provide speedups, compared to the other approaches. Additionally, the image quality of our algorithm improves by solving uneven sampling rate due to perspective ray di vergence.
