This paper presents the shape optimization process for the automotive wheel bearing seal lip using the finite element method and the response surface method. First, to predict performance of the bearing seal lip, we used the non-linear finite element analysis. And then, we compared the analysis results with the test results to verify the finite element model. The objective function in optimizing process was obtained from results of the mud slurry test, which is one of many tests for evaluating performance of wheel bearing. After the mud slurry test for the four models which have the similar cross-sectional shape, we measured the wear area of the seal lip and the moisture content in grease. The objective function has been chosen by comparing the results of mud slurry test and characteristics of seal lip, such as contact force, contact area, contact pressure, and interference. Finally, within limited design parameters, we suggested the optimized shape of seal lip, which is expected to improve the wear and the sealing effect of it.

This paper presents a multi-costraint optimization model for redundant system reliability. The optimization model is usually formulated as a nonlinear integer programming (NIP) problem. This paper reformulates the NIP problem into a linear integer programming (LIP) problem. Then an efficient 'Branch and Straddle' algorithm is proposed to solve the LIP problem. The efficiency of this algorithm stems from the simultaneous handling of multiple variables, unlike in ordinary branch and bound algorithms. A numerical example is given to illustrate this algorithm.

현재 음성인식 분야에서는 잡음이 심한 환경에서 음성 인식률을 향상시킬 수 있는 바이모달의 한 형태인 립리딩 기술에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 립리딩 연구에 있어서 가장 중요한 것은 정확한 입술 이미지를 찾아내는 것이다. 그러나 조명변화, 화자의 발음습관, 입술 모양의 다양성, 입술의 회전과 크기 변화 등의 환경 변화 요인 때문에 안정적인 성능을 예측하기가 힘든 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 보다 안정적 성능을 얻기 위해 시간영역에서 이미지를 임펄스 응답 필터링을 수행을 통해 향상된 인식성능을 보였다. 또한 본 연구에서는 입술 전체 영상을 대상으로 처리하는 립리딩 기법의 사용으로 인해 발생하는 데이터 용량 증가를 고려해 영상의 정보는 손실하지 않고 그 특징만을 추출하여 데이터의 양을 줄일 수 있는 주성분 분석을 전처리 과정으로 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 영상정보만을 사용하여 음성인식 성능 관찰을 위해 자동차 내에서 서비스가 가능한 22단어를 선정하여 인식실험을 하였다. 이 단어들의 인식 성능을 비교하기 위하여 음성 인식 알고리듬으로 잘 알려진 HMM(Hidden Markov Model)을 이용하였다. 실험결과 PCA(Principal component Analysis)하였던 경우 립리딩이 64%의 인식률을 보인 반면, 시간영역필터를 립리딩에 적용시 72.7%로 인식률의 향상을 보였다.

A split shaft device is commonly used to measure the radial force of lip seals. The radial force measured with this device includes some inevitable error. This error is caused by the fact that the split shafts cannot maintain a perfect circle when the interference becomes larger or smaller than some initial interference. In this study, a theoretical model for the calculation of the radial contact force has been carried out, and an explicit equation for the measurement error as a function of the initial interference and the interference to be measured has been obtained. The error when the interference is small is not dependent upon the material properties and the shape of the lip seal, but rather upon the amplitude of the initial interference and the interference to be measured. When the interference is larger or smaller than the initial interference, the measured contact force is always underestimated or overestimated.

기존의 립싱크 시스템은 음소 분할 후, 각각의 음소를 인식하는 2단계의 과정을 거쳤다. 하지만, 정확한 음소 분할의 부재와 음성이 끊긴 분할 된 음소로 이루어진 훈련 데이터들은 시스템의 전체 성능을 크게 떨어뜨렸다. 이런 문제를 해결하기 위해 Head-Body-Tail (HBT) 모델을 이용한 단모음 연속어 인식 기술을 제안한다. 주로 소규모 어휘를 다루는데 적합한 HBT 모델은 Head 와 Tail 부분에 문맥 종속 정보를 포함하여 앞 뒤 문맥에 따른 조음효과를 최대한 반영한다. 또한, 7개의 단모음을 입모양이 비슷한 세 개의 클래스로 분류하여, 클래스에 종속적인 코드북 3개를 가진 반연속HMM (Hidden Markov Model)을 적용하여 시스템을 최적화하고, 변이 부분이 큰 단어의 처음과 끝은 연속HMM의 8 믹스쳐 가우시안 구조를 사용하여 모델링하였다. 제안한 방법은 HBT구조의 연속HW과 대등한 성능을 보이지만, 파라미터 수는 33.92% 감소하였다. 파라미터 감소는 계산 양을 줄여주므로, 시스템이 실시간으로 동작 가능하게 한다.

Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is one of the most prevalent congenital craniofacial anomalies. It has a significantly greater incidence of dental abnormalities in number, size, shape, and eruption of the teeth. Knout-out mouse model can identify several genes which play an important role in tooth agenesis. Since disruption of these genes has been confirmed to result in tooth agenesis in humans, CLP associated with hypodontia may be the best models for isolated tooth agenesis. According to the studies of dental abnormalities in CLP, the severity of dental defect is known to be influenced by the CLP phenotype. The cumulative data obtained from mouse and human genetic studies indicated that MSX1, PAX9 and AXIN2 are considered as candidate genes in non-syndromic hypodontia, while Shh, Pitx2, Irf6, p63 and EDA pathway genes are involved in syndromic one. We expect that genetic approach of CLP can offer the basis for tooth regeneration and be a new target in hypodontia therapy.

In this paper, we studied about the extraction of the parameter and implementation of speechreading system to recognize the Korean 8 vowel. Face features are detected by amplifying, reducing the image value and making a comparison between the image value which is represented for various value in various color space. The eyes position, the nose position, the inner boundary of lip, the outer boundary of upper lip and the outer line of the tooth is found to the feature and using the analysis the area of inner lip, the hight and width of inner lip, the outer line length of the tooth rate about a inner mouth area and the distance between the nose and outer boundary of upper lip are used for the parameter. 2400 data are gathered and analyzed. Based on this analysis, the neural net is constructed and the recognition experiments are performed. In the experiment, 5 normal persons were sampled. The observational error between samples was corrected using normalization method. The experiment show very encouraging result about the usefulness of the parameter.

Generally, an adult cleft lip or/and palate patient shows some amount of maxillary deficiency due to limitation of bony growth caused by heavy scars resulted from previous operations such as a cheiloplasty and/or a palatoplasty at an early child age. To solve the problem, advancement of the maxilla is usually required during orthognathic surgery. However, severe tensional force resulted from heavy scars on the palate and/or the lip, as well as the bony defect at the cleft area limited sufficient advancement of the maxillary segment and finally caused relapse of the reposed maxilla. Therefore, distraction osteogenesis of the maxilla was introduced for the successful maxillary advancement inthose kinds of patients. As both hard and soft tissues can be simultaneously and gradually extended with this technique, tensional force caused by heavy scars opposed to forward movement of the maxilla can be reduced to an extent not to develop severe relapse of the advanced maxilla. Since distraction osteogenesis of the maxilla was applied as one of standard protocols for the treatment of the patients with severe maxillary hypoplasia dueto cleft lip and/or palate, the devices for the distraction was improved to control the vectors of distraction with better and more stable. We have treated a 23-year-old male cleft patient with a severe maxillary hypoplasia using a newly developed a maxillary distraction device and a RP model for a pre-operative simulation surgery. As a result, we could successfully move the maxilla as we designed pre-operatively and also reduce much of operation time. Therefore, we report of the case to share our experience with colleagues.

Purpose: Anthropometry can be divided into two methods, direct anthropometry and indirect anthropometry. The most ideal and accurate method is a direct anthropometry. However, it is difficult to measure in the case of children because of poor cooperation, and it lacks re-productivity. Cast model has advantages of three dimensional featuring, inexpensive and easy fabrication. This study is conducted to find out an accuracy of indirect anthropometry on cast model by comparing it with direct anthropometry. Methods: Total 48 cleft lip nasal deformity patients (unilateral, 40; bilateral, 8) were included in this study. Cast models were made before surgery under general anesthesia with alginate impression material and model plaster. Eleven linear measurements among 7 landmarks were taken as direct anthropometry before surgery with Castroviejo spreading caliper. At the same time, indirect anthropometry on cast model was done at the same linear distances as well. Results: Of the total 11 linear measurements, both ala lengths, both columella lengths, nose width, projective distance between facial insertion points of the ala, projective distance between the alar base points, right nostril floor width, and columella width were statistically correlated between indirect anthropometry on cast model and direct anthropometry. However, the nasal tip protrusion and the left nostril floor width were not statistically correlated. Conclusion: Accuracy of indirect anthropometry on cast model can be influenced by cast model fabrication techniques and correct identification of landmarks. Nasal tip protrusion could be reduced by compression of the nasal tip in the process of cast model fabrication and nostril floor width can be varied by muscle relaxation of anesthetics and incorrect identification of subalare in cleft lip nasal deformity. If sufficient care is taken to make cast model and to define landmarks exactly, indirect anthropometry on cast model can be a reliable method as direct anthropometry.
