In this paper, we investigate path compensation scheme for the machining errors due to tool deflection in 2D contour machining. The significance of the deflection error is first shown by experiments, and a direct compensation scheme is sought. In the presented scheme, the tool path is evaluated and correcte based on the instantaneous deflection force model, until the desired contour can be obtained under the presence of tool deflection in actual machining. In the sense that the developed method estimates and compensates the machining errors via modifying the tool path, it is distinguished from the previous approach based on geometric simulation and cutting simulation. Further, it can be viewed as a direct and active method toward direct shape control in CNC machining. Simulation results are included to show the validity and adequacy of the path-modification scheme under various cutting conditions.

To apply induction hardening method to a press die having 3-D free surface, the induction hardening tool moves on a press die above 1～2mm gap with constant velocity. Since the induction hardening process requires its own hardening path for each die, a direct teaching method which generates working path directly guided by operators is more suitable than an offline method using CAD/CAM data. The direct teaching apparatus in this work includes a teaching tool with a force/torque sensor and data processing computer to finally generate robot's Induction hardening program , in direct teaching operation, an operator teaches working path maintaining contact with surface of press die by holding...

Path analysis is a useful method to find out direct or indirect effects between variables. Compared to regression analysis for studying the casual relationship, this method has a good advantage. In this study, I want to figure out direct or indirect relationships between golf skills and adjust average scores using path analysis. To analyze data, I applied AMOS in SPSS and collected data in 2010 PGA.

Dihaploid lines were derived from the anthers of the F, of single cross, "Va 115" x"SC 72" (Nicotiana tabacum L.). The path-analysis, correlation coefficient, and variation of characteristics among dihaploid families were evaluated. Dihaploid lines displayed much greater variation than their parents. The genetic correlation coefficient between yield and total alkaloids of dihaploids was significantly lower than that of conventional varieties and lines. In path-analysis which relates yield components to yield, number of leaves harvested and leaf width had a direct effect on yield. a direct effect on yield.

Deformability of RC members in shear is controlled by governing failure modes and material strength. Shear strength of members in D-regions has been explained by a direct load path (direct strut or arch action) and indirect load path (fan action or truss action). Indirect load path including truss action and fan action rely on bond along tension ties. Generally, superposition of two actions results in total shear strength when shear failure modes control. The ultimate deformation depends on controlling failure modes and thereby, their force transfer patterns. Proposed models are capable of explaining of limited deformability of RC members in D-regions.

Deformability of RC members in shear after flexural yielding is limited and controlled by governing failure modes and material strength. Shear strength of members in D-regions has been explained by a direct load path (direct strut or arch action) and indirect load path (fan action or truss action). Indirect load path including truss action and fan action rely on bond along tension ties. Generally, superposition of two actions results in total shear strength when shear failure modes control.

This paper proposes and efficient routing scheme named MP-DD(MultiPath-Direct Diffusion) which are simple enough to be applicable to the wireless sensor networks. Conventional DD(Direct Diffusion) uses only one optimal path, therefore it consumes more energy of specific nodes. MP-DD uses multiple path and has a information of hop upstream node in the direction of the base-station. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can increase network survivability compared to conventional DD and EAR(Energy Aware Routing) schemes.

Knowledge of the relationship between crop yield and yield-limiting factors is essential for precision farming. However, developing this knowledge is not easy because these yield-limiting factors are interrelated and affect crop yield in different ways. In this study, data for grain yield and yield-limiting factors, including crop chlorophyll content, soil chemical properties, and topography were collected for a small (0.3 ha) rice paddy field in Korea and a large (36 ha) upland corn field in the USA, and relationships were investigated with path analysis. Using this approach, the effects of limiting factors on crop yield could be separated into direct effects and indirect effects acting through other factors. Path analysis provided more insight into these complex relationships than did simple correlation or multiple linear regression analysis. Results of correlation analysis for the rice paddy field showed that EC, Ca, and $SiO_2$ had significant (P<0.1) correlations with rice yield, while pH, Ca, Mg, Na, $SiO_2,\;and\;P_2O_5$ had significant correlations with the SPAD chlorophyll reading. Path analysis provided additional information about the importance and contribution paths of soil variables to rice yield and growth. Ca had the highest direct effect (0.52) and indirect effect via Mg (-0.37) on rice yield. The indirect effect of Mg through Ca (0.51) was higher than the direct effect (-0.38). Path analysis also enabled more appropriate selection of important factors limiting crop yield by considering cause-and-effect relationships among predictor and response variables. For example, although pH showed a positive correlation (r=0.35) with SPAD readings, the correlation was mainly due to the indirect positive effects acting through Mg and $SiO_2$, while pH not only showed negative direct effects, but also negatively impacted indirect effects of other variables on SPAD readings. For the large upland Missouri corn field, two topographic factors, elevation and slope, had significant (P<0.1) direct effects on yield and highly significant (P<0.01) correlations with other limiting factors. Based on the correlation analysis alone, P and K were determined to be nutrients that would increase corn yield for this field. With the help of path analysis, however, increases in Mg could also be expected to increase corn yield in this case. In general, path analysis results were consistent with published optimum ranges of nutrients for rice and com production. We conclude that path analysis can be a useful tool to investigate interrelationships between crop yield and yield limiting factors on a site-specific basis.

The capacity criteria have been proposed in order to select a cooperative relay node in WSNs, under the environment where direct path has a poor link gain. This process may ensure the efficiency improvement of signal transfer between source and destination and reduction of energy consumption as well. Two criteria are incorporated to select a cooperative relay node. Firstly, calculate the energy gain ratio between the relay path and the direct path. These are defined as the ratio between the energy factors of 1/g and 1/B. Each stands for an inverse of direct path gain and relay path gain. Secondly, investigate the effects of relay node's usage in WSNs through the simulation in terms of energy consumption. In conclusion, using a selected cooperative relay node based on the selected criteria is effective in terms of both energy efficiency and capacity of WSNs especially when direct path gain is relatively low.
