An important component of a cooling tower is an axial fan, and there happens distortion in its shape which brings significant loss of efficiency. In this paper, a surface profile measuring system for large size axial fan of cooling towers is developed. A laser sensor is used as a measuring device and aluminum profiles and stepping motors are engaged into the system as frame structure and driving devices respectively. The measuring data are compared to the design data to compute the distortion of the axial fans. Two types of errors, axial and twist errors, are used to represent the precision of axial fan distortion. Genetic algorithm is used to solve the optimization problem during computing the precision. Results are displayed three dimensionally in a solid-modeler as well as 2-D drawings to help users find it with ease.

We developed an on-line lathe simulator which can be used for a CAM education on the internet. Previously, VRML or static images such as JPG have been commonly used to achieve the same goal. With the 3D tool like VRML, it was possible to describe the movement of 3D object effectively. However, G-code based modeling and real-time visualization for the cutting process including parts being machined could not be accomplished. By using the simulator, we can machine a part with G-code input from a user or modeler, and parts being machined can be visualized in 2D as well as 3D. The developed system is based on EMCO lathe from Eshed and can be used through a web browser.

This paper describes an in-line lossless data compression method using adaptive binary arithmetic coding. To achieve better compression efficiency , we employ an adaptive fuzzy -tuning modeler, which uses fuzzy inference to deal with the problem of conditional probability estimation. The design is simple, fast and suitable for VLSI implementation because we adopt the table -look-up approach. As compared with the out-comes of other lossless coding schemes, our results are good and satisfactory for various types of source data.

The verification of the STL file is essential to build the confident parts using a RP machine, because the STL file obtained from the CAD software has many errors-the orientation of triangle does not coincide with adjacent triangles or some triangles are omitted, overlpped and so forth. Especially, the STL file translated from the surface model has more errors than those translated from the solid model. In this study, all possible errors were classified with the most general from and the causes of errors were analyzed to verify and correct errors. Using the triangle based non-manifold geometric modeling, these errors were corrected. Especially, this study took the notice of the problem about the intersected triangles and non-manifold properties overlooked in the previous studies. But this study has a penalty on computing time of $O(n^2)$.

This paper proposes a method for determining optimal EDM parameters based on discharge area from the physical model of a tool electrode. Main parameters, which affect the EDM performance, are peak value of currents, pulse-on time, and pulse-off time. Such parameters are closely dependent on the discharge area in EDM process. In this paper the discharge area is estimated from the CMM scanning data to the tool electrode. The method is very useful when any geometric information to the tool electrode is not provided from tool modeler or producer. The method consists of following four steps. First a triangulation mesh is constructed from the CMM data. Secondly, the z-map is modeled from the triangulated mesh. Thirdly, the discharge area is estimated from intersection between the z-map model and a z-height plane. Finally, the machining parameters are easily calculated by some known EDM equations to the discharge area. An example is introduced to show that the machining parameters are calculated from the CMM data to a tool electrode.

It is difficult for most of passenger cars to attach various types of suspensions. The modular experimental vehicle, which is designed to exchange suspension systems, has been developed to evaluate the effect of design changes of a suspension upon ride and handling characteristics of a vehicle. In order to enable the assemblage between modules, the experimental vehicle design is based on a space frame construction through finite element analysis. Moreover, module frames and brackets are designed using three-dimensional solid modeler to check the interference between each part of a vehicle. Steady-state and transient road tests were performed. Multibody dynamic model and simplified linear vehicle model are made to compare with the tests. The results of simulations and tests show the performance and validity of this experimental vehicle.

In this paper, we propose the collaborative design system with which we can simultaneously modify the actual 3D CAD model by the remote control and have interaction on it. It enables instantaneous decision making among the multiple disciplines in distributed locations using the function of simultaneous access and video conference. It also provides the method of managing the consistency between design entities. This system consists of Collaborative Management Server, File Server, Solid Modeler Client, Remote Control Module and Client Module.

Corporate databases are usually denormalized, due to the data modelers' impetuous belief that denormalization could improve system performance. By providing a logical insight into denormalization, this paper attempts to prevent every database modeler from falling into the denormalization pit. We indicate loopholes in the denormalization advocates' assertions, and then present four criteria to analyze the usefulness and validity of denormalization; 1) the level of concurrency among transactions, 2) the database independence of the application program, 3) the independence between the logical design and the physical one, and 4) the overhead cost to maintain database integrity under various query patterns. This paper also includes experimental results to evaluate performance of denormalized and fully normalized structures under various workloads.

The synthesis of gates of injection-molded parts has been done empirically, since it requires profound knowledge about the gate design,. which is not available to designers through current CAD systems. GATEWAY is a knowledge module which contains knowledge to Permit non-experts as well as mold design experts to generate acceptable gate design of injection-molded parts. A knowledge-based CAD system is constructed by adding the knowledge module, GATEWAY, for gate synthesis and appropriate CAE programs for mold design analysis to an existing geometric modeler to provide designers, at the initial stage, with comprehensive process knowledge for gate synthesis. Performance analysis and feature-based geometric modeling.

XML 스키마가 등장하면서 DTD로는 할 수 없었던 부분이 스키마를 이용하여 세밀하게 설계한 수 있게 되었고, XML 스키마 설계가 DTD보파 한층 더 복잡하게 되었기 때문에 스키마 모델링이 중요한 문제로 대두된다. XML 스키마가 객체지향적이기 때문에 객체지향 설계의 표준인 UML(Unified Modeling Language)을 XML 스키마 설계에 이용한다. 본 논문은 XML 스키마 설계 후 응용 프로그램 개발 기반에서 개발을 시작하는 전반적인 응용 프로그램 개발 과정을 통하여 개발자에게 XML 스키마를 설계하고 바로 응용 프로그램 개발에 들어갈 수 있는 개발 방법을 제공하려고 한다. 본 논문은 OOAD UML Modeler를 이용하여 XML 스키마를 도입한 XML 기반의 XML CASE 툴을 설계하려고 한다. 이 XML CASE 툴은 DTD 기반의 XML 응용 프로그램 개발에서의 문제점을 XML 스키마를 도입함으로써 해결하고, 개발 단계에서 개발자가 XML 스키마를 설계하도록 제안하였다.
