In this paper, we propose an optimal posture control law for an unmanned bicycle by deriving linear bicycle model from fully nonlinear differential equations. We calculate each equilibrium point of a bicycle under any given turning radius and angular speed of rear wheel. There is only one equilibrium point when a bicycle goes straight, while there are a lot of equilibrium points in case of turning. We present an optimal equilibrium point which makes the leaning input minimum when a bicycle is turning. As human riders give rolling torque by moving center of gravity of a body, many previous studies use a movable mass to move center of gravity like humans do. Instead we propose a propeller as a new leaning input which generates rolling torque. The propeller thrust input makes bicycle model simpler and removes input magnitude constraint unlike a movable mass. The proposed controller can hold optimal equilibrium points using both steering input and leaning input. The simulation results on linear control for circular motion are demonstrated to show the validity of the proposed approach.

The analytical transfer matrix method suggests a new quantization condition for calculating bound state eigenenergies exactly. In the quantization condition, the phase shifts of bound state wave functions scattered at classical turning points are explicitly introduced. We calculate the phase shifts of eigenfunctions of the Morse potential with various boundary conditions in order to understand the physical meaning of phase shifts. The Morse potential is known to adequately describe the interaction energy between two atoms and, therefore, it is frequently used to determine the vibrational energy levels of diatomic molecules. The variation of Morse potential eigenenergies influenced upon by changing boundary conditions is also investigated.

This study describes an oscillometric-based blood pressure measuring algorithm by detecting turning points of oscillation signal from digitally filtered cuff signals of an automatic sphygmomanometer. The blood pressure measuring algorithm uses a characteristic ratios method from the turning points. The accurate values of the systolic/diastolic blood presures(SBP/DBP) are calculated using the peaks in the ranges of characteristic ratios. Performances of the proposed algorithm and four automatic sphygmomanometers are compared with the mercury manometer(manual type sphygmomanometer), regarding the SBP and DBP values of manual sphygmomanometer as the reference values. The performance test showed the proposed algorithm revealed the best results in errors and a statistical analysis. Therefore this algorithm can be usable in any automatic sphygmomanometers.ssure states. This may be compromising results for subject-independent sensibility evaluation using EEG signal.

The heat transfer and pressure loss characteristics of a rotating two-pass channel with a guide vane in the turning region have been studied using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) analysis, and the shape of the guide vane has been optimized using surrogate modeling optimization technique. For the optimization, thickness, location and angle of the guide vanes have been selected as design variables. The objective function has been defined as a linear combination of the heat transfer and the friction loss related terms with a weighting factor. Latin hypercube sampling has been applied to determine the design points as design of experiments. A weighted-average surrogate model, PBA has been used as the surrogate model. The guide vane in the turning region does not influence the heat transfer in the first passage upstream of the turning region, but enhances largely the heat transfer in the turning region and the second passage. In an example of the optimization, the objective function has been increased by 13.6%.

음소는 음성을 구성하는 최소 단위로서 음성을 인식하는데 있어 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문은 음소 기반 한국어 음성 인식의 일부로서, 한국어 음소 중 'ㅅ', 'ㅈ', 'ㅊ'에 대한 새로운 인식 방안을 제안한다. 제안하는 방식은 입력 음성 신호를 구성하는 각각의 블록에 대해 계산되는 변동성 지표와 전환점 지표에 기반한다. 변동성 지표는 블록 내의 인접한 샘플 값들의 차이의 총합이며, 전환점 지표는 블록 내에서 샘플 값의 증가와 감소의 방향이 전환되는 극점의 총수이다. 두 지표를 결합하여 음소 인식을 수행하는 인식 알고리즘은 두 지표와 관련하여 최적화된 임계치들을 활용하여 목표로 하는 세 가지 음소가 인식된 위치를 최종적으로 결정한다. 실험 결과를 통해, 제안하는 방식을 사용함으로써 기존의 방식들에 비해 FRR과 FAR의 관점에서 모두 오류율을 현저히 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

연속교통류 운영 및 설계에서는 최대통과교통류율에 따른 교통류 상태변화 분석이 중요하다. 최대통과교통류율은 연속교통류 운영상태를 평가함에 있어 기준이 되고 있으며, 병목현상과 같은 지 정체 발생시 최대통과교통류율이 급격히 감소하게 된다. 현재까지 이러한 연속교통류 운영과 관련된 다양한 연구들이 수행되었지만, 변화되는 교통량을 명확하게 식별하지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 교통운영 및 설계 등의 다양한 연구를 수행하는 데 있어 가장 중요한 실시간 교통량 변화 검지 방법론에 대한 연구를 실시한다. 이를 위하여 도시고속도로 자유로 구간의 24시간 레이더검지기의 시계열 자료를 이용하며, 교통류 상태 구분에는 통계적 기법의 일환인 터닝포인트 분석(Tunring Point Analysis, 이하 TPA)를 적용한다. TPA는 베이지안 접근법(bayesian approach)을 이용하며, 차량도착은 포아송 분포로 가정한다. 분석대상 구간에 대한 터닝포인트(Turning Point, 이하 TP)를 도출하였으며, 교통량이 변화되는 시점을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 실시간 교통상태변화 검지를 위한 방법으로 TP지속시간을 설정하여 분석을 실시하였으며, 실시간으로 교통량의 변화를 검지하였다. 이는 기존의 직관적이고 경험적인 접근법의 한계를 극복할 수 있는 장점을 가지며, 실시간으로 교통량 변화를 식별할 수 있어 램프미터링(ramp-metering), 가변차로 등의 교통운영관리에 적용이 가능하다.

We consider the experimental design problem of selecting values of design variables x for observation of a response y that depends on x and on model parameters $\theta$. The form of the dependence may be quite general, including all linear and nonlinear modeling situations. The goal of the design selection is to efficiently estimate functions of $\theta$. Three new criteria for selecting design points x are presented. The criteria generalized the usual Bayesian optimal design criteria to situations n which the prior distribution for $\theta$ amy be uncertain. We assume that there are several possible prior distributions,. The new criteria are applied to the nonlinear problem of designing to estimate the turning point of a quadratic equation. We give both analytic and computational results illustrating the robustness of the optimal designs based on the new criteria.

This paper proposes an LOS(line-of-sight) guidance system of a ship for path following. From the viewpoint of a control configuration, guidance is a special type of compensation algorithm that is placed in front of the controller to accomplish navigational objects. A guidance system generates a reference trajectory for trajectory tracking or path control and decides the desired velocity, position and heading angle. A control system executes commands based on a reliable guidance law during navigation. An LOS vector from the vessel to a point on the path between two way-points in straight-line navigation or a point among turning circle in turning navigation is selected, and then a heading angle is calculated to converge the desired path based on the LOS vector. The LOS guidance law is defined for the straight-line and the turning circle, respectively. The effectiveness of the suggested LOS guidance system is assured through computer simulation.

Background: In the stroke patients with the characteristics of hemiplegic gait, turning direction of the affected and unaffected side influences turning time. Therefore, it is important to investigate the walking response to turning directions in stroke patients. Objects: This study aimed to measure the walking time while turning direction in hemiplegic patients depending on balance ability measured by Berg Balance Scale. Methods: A group of forty-five subjects with stroke (Berg Balance Scale score${\geq}46$ were twenty-eight, Berg Balance Scale score${\leq}45$ were seventeen) were enrolled in this study. Subjects were asked to perform the Timed Up and Go test. Testing indications included two directions for turning in each subject. These indications were for turning toward the affected and unaffected side in stroke patients. The duration of total analysis duration, sit to stand phase, stand to sit phase, mid-turning phase, and end turning phase were recorded. The obtained data were analyzed by using paired t-test and Wilcoxon signed rank test in the group that are below and above 45 points of Berg Balance Scale score. The significance level was set at ${\alpha}=.05$. Results: There were significant increase time in the analysis duration and end turning phase duration while subjects were turned the unaffected side in stroke patients that presented a Berg Balance Scale score${\leq}45$ (p<.05). However, the comparison between the affected side and the unaffected side in the stroke patients with Berg Balance Scale score${\geq}46$, revealed no significant differences of the measured parameters. Conclusion: This finding should be suggested in the specific definition of turning direction for evaluation with Timed Up and Go test in the Berg Balance Scale score${\leq}45$, and other intervention for hemiplegic patients need to be suggested the direction of turning during walking training program.

Effects of artificial thermal aging on color variations of various commercial papers (fine paper, coated paper, newsprint and filter paper) were investigated. With thermal aging at $105^{\circ}C$, most of papers showed a special trend in $a^*-b^*$ plane: the $a^*$ (red-green) values of the samples were initially reduced (heading to - $a^*$ side) and after a turning point they increased to +$a^*$ side while the $b^*$(blue-yellow) values were kept increased to +$b^*$ side (yellowing of paper). Different papers had different turning points for $a^*$ value. The filter paper consisted of a pure chemical pulp and the copy paper with OBA (optical brightening agent) showed the latest turing points. In addition, the papers without OBA showed less reduction in brightness compared with that with OBA, suggesting that OBA could adversely influence the brightness stability during thermal aging.
