Modal analysis method (MAM) is introduced for the fully coupled structural dynamic problems. In this paper, the beam with active constrained layered damping (ACLD) treatment is considered as a representative problem. The ACLD beam consists of a viscoelastic layer that is sandwiched between the base beam structure and an active piezoelectric layer. The exact damped natural modes are spectrally formulated from a set of fully coupled dynamic equations of motion. The orthogonality property of the exact damped natural modes is then derived in a closed form to complete the modal analysis method. The accuracy of the present MAM is evaluated through some illustrative examples: the dynamic characteristics obtained by the present MAM are compared with the results by spectral element method (SEM) and finite element method (FEM). It is numerically proved that MAM solutions become identical to the accurate SEM solutions as the number of exact natural used in MAM is increased.

Conventional active sonar technology has relied heavily on the hearing of sonar operator, but recently, many techniques for automatic detection and classification have been studied. In this paper, we extract the image data from the spectrogram of the active sonar signal and classify the extracted data using CNN(convolutional neural networks), which has recently presented excellent performance improvement in the field of pattern recognition. First, we divided entire data set into eight classes depending on the ratio containing the target. Then, experiments were conducted to classify the eight classes data using proposed CNN structure, and the results were analyzed.

In this paper, we propose an active tunable bandpass filter (BPF) for efficient spectrum sensing in the TV White Space (TVWS) band. By designing a narrow bandwidth, it is possible to improve the sensing probability. The basic circuit configuration involves switching the PIN diode compromising capacitor bank to change the capacitance of the LC resonant circuit. To cover the whole TVWS band effectively, we add a varactor diode, and the bandwidth is set to 25-MHz. We improve the insertion loss by using the active capacitance circuit. The tunable BPF in the TVWS band with a 20-MHz interval is designed to have 11 channels with a bandwidth of 25 MHz and a low insertion loss of 1.7-2.0 dB.

A reducing variation of quality characteristics is a typical example of quality improvement. In such a case, we treat the quality characteristic, as a response variable and need to find active factors affecting the response from many candidate factors since reducing the variation of the response will be achieved by reducing variation of the active factors. In this paper, we first derive a method of selecting an active factor by linear regression. It is well known that correlation between factors deteriorates the precision of estimators. We, therefore, examine robustness of the selecting method against the correlation in the data set and derive an evaluation method of the deterioration brought by the correlation. Furthermore, some examples of selecting and evaluation methods are shown to demonstrate practical usage of the methods.

This paper proposes a video tracking method for a deformable moving object using an active contour model. In order to decide the convergent directions of the contour points automatically, a new energy function based on a frame difference map and an updating rules of the frame difference map are presented. Experimental results on a set of synthetic and real image sequences showed that the proposed method can fully track a speedy deformable object while extracting the boundary of the object exactly in every frame.

In the present work we introduce a new flare activity indicator, MAD and examine its characteristics by analyzing a set of successive three days' observations of a typical active region, AR2372. The computed MAD is compared with conventional activity indicator such as separator. It is found that. (1) MAD traces very well the separator, (2) it. singles out. local discontinuity of magnetic field lines and (3) it. is a good measure of describing the evolutionary status of active region.

A digital signal processor(DSP) is applied to realizing a compensator of control system of active magnetic bearings, to restrict a resonance caused by the first-order bending vibration of a flexible rotor, and to run the rotor beyond the critical speed. A full-order observer is applied to the translatory rotor-motion with the first-order vibration mode. A PID control is used for the conical motion. The rotor used in the experiments is symmetric, and an electromagnet and a displacement sensor are set in collocation.

An adaptive active contour algorithm which shows stable object tracking performance under the moving or deformable environments, is proposed. In order to cope with local deformation of the object, an energy map is generated from the difference of the consecutive images and a new energy function based on the energy map is presented. The algorithm is evaluated on a set of artificial and real images to verify the efficiencies and test results show the stable tracking performance for the moving objects.

Although automotive safety technologies have been developed steadily, the efforts for pedestrian protection still seems to be insufficient. In a car-pedestrian accident, the structures such as the engine under a hood, the lower part of a windshield and the A-pillar are the major causes of fatal pedestrian injuries. Recently, there have been several studies on the active safety system to reduce the pedestrian injuries. The safety system consists of an active hood lift system and a pedestrian airbag. In this research, the safety performance of the active hood lift system and the pedestrian airbag is investigated by using the finite element method. The finite element model of the system is set up based on the head impact test, and the impact analyses are performed. The necessity and the usefulness of the safety system are verified.
