In this paper, a computer-vision based pipe shape inspection algorithm is developed. The algorithm uses the modified Hough transformation and a line-scanning approach to identify the edge line and radius of the pipe image, from which the eccentricity and dimension of the pipe-end is calculated. Line and circle detection was performed using Laplace operator with input image, which are acquired from the front and side cameras. In order to minimize the memory usage and the processing time, a clustering method with the modified Hough transformation for line detection. The dimension of inner and outer radius of pipe is calculated by proposed line-scanning method. The method scans several lines along the X and Y axes, calculating the eccentricity of inner and outer circle. by which pipes with wrong end-shape can be classified removed.

In this study we propose a novel approach to segment a terrain in two parts: ground and none-ground. The terrain is gained by a multi-channel 3D laser range sensor. We process each vertical line in each frame data. The vertical line is bounded by the sensor's position and a point in the largest circle of the frame. We consider each pair of two consecutive points in each line to find begin-ground and end-ground points. All points placed between a begin-ground point and an end-ground point are ground ones. The other points are none-ground. After examining all vertical lines in the frame, we obtain the terrain segmentation result.

A case of distal aortopulmonary septal defect associated with aortic origin of right pulmonary ar- tery, patent ductus arteriosus and hypoplasia of aortic isthmus in a 50-day-old female infant is presented. Ligation of patent ductus arteriosus, resection and end-to-end anastomosis of hypoplasia of aortic isthmus, implantation of rlght pulmonary artery to main pulmonary artery and autologous peri- cardial patch repair of aortopulmonary septal defect were performed under cardiopulmonary bypass as one-stage approach. Deep hypothermic total circulatory arrest was applied during repair of hypoplasia of aortic isthmus. The p stoperative course was uneventful.

Tree routing is one of appropriate routing schemes in wireless sensor network because the complexity of this approach is relatively low. But, congestion at a specific node may happen because a parent node toward a sink node is usually selected in one hop way, specially where large number of node are deployed. As feasible solution for this problem, multiple paths and sinks schemes can be applied. However, the performance of these schemes are not proved and analyzed yet. In this paper, we conduct diverse simulaton scenarios performance evaluation for these cases to identify the improvement and analyze the impact of schemes. The performance is measured in the aspects of packet transmission rate, throughput, and end-to-end delay as a function of amount of network traffic.

Routing overlay offers an ideal methodology to improve the end-to-end communication performance by deriving a backup path for any node pair. This paper focuses on a challenging issue of selecting a proper backup path to bypass the failures on the default path with high probability for any node pair. For existing backup path selection approaches, our trace-driven evaluation results demonstrate that the backup and default paths for any node pair overlap with high probability and hence usually fail simultaneously. Consequently, such approaches fail to derive a robust backup path that can take over in the presence of failure on the default path. In this paper, we propose a three-phase RBPS approach to identify a proper and robust backup path. It utilizes the traceroute probing approach to obtain the fine-grained topology information, and systematically employs the grid quorum system and the Bloom filter to reduce the resulting communication overhead. Two criteria, delay and fault-tolerant ability on average, of the backup path are proposed to evaluate the performance of our RBPS approach. Extensive trace-driven evaluations show that the fault-tolerant ability of the backup path can be improved by about 60%, while the delay gain ratio concentrated at 14% after replacing existing approaches with ours. Consequently, our approach can derive a more robust and available backup path for any node pair than existing approaches. This is more important than finding a backup path with the lowest delay compared to the default path for any node pair.

Vortex tube is the device that can separate small particles from the compressed gas, as well as compressed gas into hot and cold flow. In this study, computational approach has been performed to analyze the characteristics of the vortex tube. Energy separation characteristics of the vortex tube has been tested for various geometric design parameters. For the given conditions, it is found that as the tube is lengthened, hot end temperature is reduced but cold end temperature does not influenced much. As the orifice diameter decreases, cold end temperature decreases. Also, as hot gas fraction increases, hot end temperature decreases. The results from this study can be used for the basic design parameter of the $CO_2$ reduction device.

The management of malignant tumors of the oral cavity requires that the resection should be performed with adequate negative margins. To this end, the surgeon is sometimes required to increase the access to the oral cavity to resect with clear margins although most of our resections can be carried via the transoral route. This article highlights some of the most common surgical accesses to the oral cavity: Peroral approach, mandibulotomy and mandibular swing approach, visor flap approach, upper & lower cheek flap approach, pull-through technique. Also, various modes of management are grossly described according to primary site, size, and stage of the tumors.

This paper presents a new algorithm for solving the inverse kinematics in real-time applications. The end-tip movement of each link can be resolved into the basic resolution unit, .DELTA.l, which depends on link length, reduction ratio and resolution of the incremental encoder attached to the joint. When x- and y-axis projection of the end-tip movement are expressed in .DELTA.l unit, projectional increments .DELTA.x and .DELTA.y become -1, 0 or I by truncation. By using the incremental computation with these ternary value and some simple logic rules, a coordinate transformation can be realized. Through this approach, it should be noted that the floating-point arithmetic and the manipulation of trigonometric functions are completely eliminated. This paper demonstrates the proposed method in a parallelogram linkage type, two-link arm.

The main idea behind the Intelligent Networks (IN) concept is the separation of switching function from the service control, in order to meet various service requirements of subscribers and development of new services in time. The (N+l) architecture of the IN service system consists of front-end processors (FEP) and back-end processors (BEP), which is in service in a domestic telecommunication company, and balances the traffic load for services among the processors. Under this architecture, the IN service system can distribute the traffic load dynamically, and M services are easily launched and manipulated minimizing impacts on the existing services. This paper traces the performance of the (N＋1) structured system by means of the simulation approach, and shed a light on the result.
