This paper presents vibration characteristics of magnetorheological(MR) elastomer, whose elastic modulus are controllable by applied magnetic field. By using this property, the material can be applied to vibration absorber, so that the stiffness of the absorber can be changed and actively controlled according to the magnetic flux density. However, the various performances of MR elastomer depends on different polarized direction of particles by applied magnetic field and dimension during the manufacturing process. In this paper, in order to obtain the optimal characteristics of MR elastomer, MR elastomers with different types and dimensions are prepared for a series tests. Using this test setup, extent of natural frequency shifted against magnetic field at various excitation frequencies can be measured. Specimens are prepared with 3 types, as cylinder samples exposed to magnetic field vertically, horizontally and unexposed during cure, respectively. Also, a set of design variables are considered to produce MR elastomers. Through the modal tests of mass structure with MR elastomer, the optimal design as well as the polarization direction of MR elastomer is obtained among the various dimensions and 3 directional types of MR elastomers.

In this paper, sound pressure sensitivity of the fiber optic acoustic sensor according to sensor direction and mandrel material were investigated experimentally. Three different directions were selected as stand, lay, and hole. Hollow cylinder type mandrel dimension is 30 mm in outer diameter, 45 mm in length, and 2 mm in thickness, and about 50 m optical fibers were wounded on the surface of the mandrel. Non-directional sound speaker was used as a sound source. Sagnac interferometer and single mode fiber, a laser with 1,550 nm in wavelength, $2{\times}2$ coupler were used. Based on the experimental results, lay direction's sensitivity is the highest in the frequency range of 2 kHz~4 kHz. 'PTFE+carbon' material is more sensitive than PTFE in the frequency range of 5 kHz~20 kHz. Sound pressure detection sensitivity depends on the mandrel direction and material under certain frequency.

A simplified view of array design and application process was introduced. Array design is critical to achieve a successful phased array measurements. A planar microphone array is designed to produce optimum performance and also to fit economic requirement in integrating data acquisition system. Certain performance characteristics are of primary concern when designing arrays. These characteristics include array resolution, spatial aliasing and array sidelobe suppression. Every array has its directional pattern that shows such characteristics. Assuming that a monopole source is located in center, beam-patterns have been simulated varying measurement conditions such as number of sensors. array aperture size, distance between array and source, frequency of interest and so on. Sensor correction was conducted on very channel using magnitudes and phased of FRF with respect to a reference microphone channel. Then with a spiral type array, measurements have been made with two point sources of same frequency in order to investigate array resolving abilities. It is observed that higher frequency source achieves better resolution than lower one does.

Pattern Recognition is one of the fundamental areas of computer vision. The recognition of patterns with varying size and severe defects is especially important. However, it is known that the conventional algorithms such as GHT or structural approaches have limitations in speed and accuracy. In this paper, in order to avoid above-mentioned problems, we propose a new recognition algorithm which exploits the histogram of contour directions and the sampled spot matching method. While the former provides little influence against size variation, the latter has strong immunity to noise and defects. We applied those proposed algorithms for the recognition of numbers extracted from the car number plates and shapes of aircraft. Experimental result shows that it is possible to solve above-mentioned problems by complementary uses of those two suggested algorithms. The contour directional histogram method resulted in high-speed of average 0.013 sec/char and 0.1 sec/aircraft-image on IBM-386. The accuracy of recognition is as high as 99%. Sampled spot matching method has less speed than the former one, however, it showed fairly strong immunity to noise and defects.

In this paper, a iterative image restoration method is proposed to restore for noisy-blurred images. In conventional method, regularization is usually applied to all over the without considering the local characteristics of image. As a result, ringing artifacts appear in edge regions and the noise amplification is introduced in flat regions. To solvethis problem we proposed an adaptive regularization iterative restoration using directional regularization operator considering edges in four directions and the regularization operator with no direction for flat regions. We verified that the proposed methods showed better results in the suppression of the noise amplification in flat regions, and introduced less ringing artifacts in edge regions. As a result it showed visually better image and improved better ISNR further than the conventional methods.

To restore image degraded by motion blur and additive noise, it is very difficult. In conventional restoration method, regularization is usually applied to all over the image without considering the local characteristics of image. As a result, ringing artifacts appear in edge regions and the noise amplification is introduced in flat regions. To solve this problem we propose an adaptive restoration method using directional regularization operator considering edges and the regularization operator with no direction for flat regions. We verified that the proposed method showed better results in the resolution. As a result it showed visually better image and improved better ISNR further than the conventional methods.

The AWG-filtering effect was investigated on a bidirectional 100-GHz-channel-spacing WDM-PON link using spectrum-sliced and RSOA-amplified light sources for downstream signals and a wavelength reuse technique for upstream signals. Signal performances of three different filtering AWGs, including Gaussian, trapezoidal, and rectangular types, were compared on link transmission with fiber nonlinear effects. As an extinction ratio of a downstream signal varied, the effect for both directional signals was analyzed and optimized. It was found that there was an optimal pass bandwidth of an AWG for the balance between relative intensity noise decrement and cross phase modulation noise increment as the bandwidth got wider.

In this paper, we propose a directionally adaptive aliasing and noise removal using dictionary learning based on space-frequency analysis. The proposed aliasing and noise removal algorithm consists of two modules; i) aliasing and noise detection using dictionary learning and analysis of frequency characteristics from the combined wavelet-Fourier transform and ii) aliasing removal with suppressing noise based on the directional shrinkage in the detected regions. The proposed method can preserve the high-frequency details because aliasing and noise region is detected. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can efficiently reduce aliasing and noise while minimizing losses of high-frequency details and generation of artifacts comparing with the conventional methods. The proposed algorithm is suitable for various applications such as image resampling, super-resolution image, and robot vision.

Called VISTA (Variable-stability In-flight Simulator Test Aircraft), the one-of-a-kind NF-l6D has a simulation system that can mimic several aircraft. Though housed in an F-l6 Fighting Falcon airframe, VISTA can also act like the F-15 Eagle or the Navy's F-14 Tomcat. More importantly, such flexibility allows for improved training and consolidation of some sorties. Consequently USAF Test Pilot School students will have an opportunity to learn how to test future integrated cockpits. In this paper we will use the multiple model adaptive estimation (MMAE) and the multiple model adaptive controller (MMAC) techniques to model the aircraft's flight control system containing the longitudinal and lateral-directional axes. Single and dual actuator and sensor failures will also be included in the simulation. White Gaussian noise will be included to simulate the effects of atmospheric disturbances.
