Understanding of 'spatial' pressure distribution is required to determine design loads on local structures, such as plating and framing. However, obtaining a practical 'spatial' pressure distribution is a hard task due to the sensitivity of the data acquisition frequency and resolution. High-resolution Pessure-Idicating Flm (PIF) was applied to obtain pressure distribution and pressure magnitude using stepped crushing method. Different types of PIF were stacked at each test to creating a pressure distribution plot at specific time steps. Two different concepts of plotting 'spatial' pressure-area curve was introduced and evaluated. Diverse unit pixel size was chosen to investigate the effect of the resolution in data analysis. Activated area was not significantly affected by unit pixel size; however, total force was highly sensitive.

This paper proposes S/W Watch-Dog method between Dual CPU using the different OS. The proposed watch-dog method performs that it distinguishes the status of channel between dual CPU and status of processor itself. We find out the ideal value of threshold and priority for load test task. and we evaluate the accuracy of the proposed S/W Watch-Dog Method at the result of evaluation. We figure out that the accuracy of proposed method is higher than the accuracy of general S/W Watch-Dog Method in case of variable data rate. Therefore we confirm that the proposed Method has high accuracy of watch-dog function with the ideal value of threshold and priority for load test task through the performance evaluation.

Typically the standard optimal allocation method distributes the sample for each stratum considering survey cost. In case of varying survey cost for each survey unit, we need to consider more practical allocation method. In other words, according to characteristics of an individual unit, we consider the optimal dynamic allocation method which first selects the survey unit having maximum value of benefit cost ratio. In terms of this, the proposed allocation method is different from standard optimal allocation method which allocate samples for each stratum and selects the random sample according to each size of sample. This paper is considered the dynamic optimal allocation method for the stratified randomized response technique which surveys for sensitive characteristic of survey units such as drug abuse, abortion, alcoholic. We prove the practical usefulness of proposed method using the numerical example.

In this paper, the improvement methods of the computational efficiency of the conjunction screening algorithm, which calculates the closest distance between primary satellite and space objects are presented. First method is to use GPU(Graphics Processing Unit) that has high computing power and handles quickly large amounts of data. Second method is to use Apogee/Perigee filter which excludes non-threatening objects that have low probability of collision and/or minimum distance rather than that of thresh hold. Third method is to combine first method with second method. As a result, the computational efficiency has been improved 34 times and 3 times for the first method only and second method only, respectively. On the contrary, the computational efficiency has been dramatically improved 163 times when two kinds of methods are combined.

An adaptive speech streaming method to improve the perceived speech quality of a software-based multipoint control unit (SW-based MCU) over IP networks is proposed. First, the proposed method predicts whether the speech packet to be transmitted is lost. To this end, the proposed method learns the pattern of packet losses in the IP network, and then predicts the loss of the packet to be transmitted over that IP network. The proposed method classifies the speech signal into different classes of silence, unvoiced, speech onset, or voiced frame. Based on the results of packet loss prediction and speech classification, the proposed method determines the proper amount and bitrate of redundant speech data (RSD) that are sent with primary speech data (PSD) in order to assist the speech decoder to restore the speech signals of lost packets. Specifically, when a packet is predicted to be lost, the amount and bitrate of the RSD must be increased through a reduction in the bitrate of the PSD. The effectiveness of the proposed method for learning the packet loss pattern and assigning a different speech coding rate is then demonstrated using a support vector machine and adaptive multirate-narrowband, respectively. The results show that as compared with conventional methods that restore lost speech signals, the proposed method remarkably improves the perceived speech quality of an SW-based MCU under various packet loss conditions in an IP network.

This paper describes a numerical method for estimating the elastic moduli of cement paste. The cement paste is modeled as a unit cell which consists of three components: the unhydrated cement grain, the gel, and the capillary pore. In the unit cell, the volume fractions of the constituents are quantified using a single kinetic function calculating the degree of hydration. The elastic moduli of cement paste are calculated from the total displacements of constituents when a uniform pressure is applied to the gel contact area. The cement paste is assumed to be a homogenous isotropic matrix. Numerical simulations were conducted through the finite element analysis of the three-dimensional periodic unit cell. The model predictions are compared with experimental results. The predicted trends are in good agreement with experimental observations. This approach and some of the results might also be relevant for other technical applications.

According to the MARPOL 73/78 of Convention, all ships should have oil filtering equipment and 15 ppm bilge which satisfy Requirements of MARPOL 73/78. This study is concerned with designing and manufacturing a prototype Oil content Meter(OCM) used in machinery area of ship. The prototype OCM is composed of two parts which are oil content sensing module and data processing unit. The oil content sensing module consists of infra-red light source, photo-diode light receivers, and a glass tube for bilge water sample. The data processing unit has a micro-processor as hard core and peripheral devices. The experimental results of prototype OCM and analysis of collected data reveal linear property between transmitted light and scattered light as long as the bilge water has low level content of oil. And this linear property leads to a oil content detecting method which is programmed and loaded into the data processing unit. The performance of the prototype OCM is compared with that of the commercial OCM in the market.

We developed a method for the solid angle estimation of acetabular coverage of the femoral head in 3D space. The superior half of the femoral head is modeled as part of a sphere. And the tangent lines connecting from a set of points of the acetabular outline to the center of the fitted sphere are obtained. The lines passthrough the unit sphere whose center is the same as that of the femoral head. The interesecting points form a boundary on the unit sphere. With the points on the unit sphere, we calculate the covered area of the femoral headand estimate the solid angle. Solid angle is defined asthe suface area within the boundary on the unit sphere. In this measurements, the solid angle of normal subjects is on an average 4.3(rad) and the corresponding acetabular coverage is 68%. Unlinke the conventional methods, this solid angle estimation shows real 3D acetabular coverage.

Light guide plate is one of most important components which are composed of back light unit, affecting the quality and performance of LCD. Average brightness and uniformity are especially key factors for designing the light guide unit. These qualities are affected and controlled by the pattern being attached to the back of light guide unit. In order to obtain high brightness and uniformity the optimized pattern design is adopted for LGP. In this study, optimized molding condition for LGP with 0.4 mm thickness was obtained by using the Moldflow simulation software and the optimized pattern for better brightness uniformity was designed for the thickness of the 0.4 mm by trial and error method. The brightness was measured for the different LGP thicknesses and the residual stress analysis was performed for 0.4 mmthickness by the photoelasticity and the results are compared with 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm thickness.
