Nowadays, Cars are continuing to grow at an alarming rate but they also cause many problems such as traffic accident, pollutions and so on. One of the most effective methods that prevent traffic accidents is the use of traffic monitoring systems, which are already widely used in many countries. The monitoring system is beginning to be used in domestic recently. An intelligent monitoring system generates photo images of cars as well as identifies cars by recognizing their plates. That is, the system automatically recognizes characters of vehicle plates. An automatic vehicle plate recognition consists of two main module: a vehicle plate locating module and a vehicle plate number identification module. We study for a vehicle plate number identification module in this paper. We use image preprocessing, feature extraction, multi-layer neural networks for recognizing characters of vehicle plates and we present a feature-comparison method for improving the performance of vehicle plate number identification module. In the experiment on identifying vehicle plate number, 300 images taken from various scenes were used. Of which, 8 images have been failed to identify vehicle plate number and the overall rate of success for our vehicle plate recognition algorithm is 98%.

IT has affected the hospital management via information systems and multimedia systems such as hospital information systems(HIS) and Order Communication System(OCS). A large number of researches have been done on the topic of success factors of information systems implementation, but a few on the topics of hospital information systems. Thus in this study, the success factors of the military hospital information systems implementation was analysed. To this end, a number of previous researches were reviewed and about 71 items of success factors were deduced. For doing empirical analysis, a questionnaire with 71 items was prepared and sent to proper organizations. The statistical analysis such as factor analysis was applied to about 400 of them returned. The six success factors and 20 sub success factors were resulted from factor analysis. The six success factors include systems management factor, technology and organization factor, the efficiency of IT department factor, technology application factor, outsourcing factor and environment factors. This study finds the outsourcing and environment factors are very important factors as much as other success factors which previously were mentioned.

This paper proposes an estimation method of number of tags which may be necessary in improving anti-collision performance for ALOHA-based RFID systems. In ALOHA-based anti-collision algorithms, since the performance of the multi tag identification can be improved by allocating the optimal slot size corresponding to the number of tags, it is needed to exactly estimate the number of tags. The proposed method uses the a priori knowledge of the relation between the expectation of the number of empty slots and the number of tags. After measuring the number of empty slots in one ROUND, we estimate the number of tags which corresponds to the expectation of the number of empty slots nearest to the measured one. Simulation results show that the proposed method is superior to conventional methods in terms of the estimation accuracy and the computational complexity.

Modern graphic processors, multimedia processors and audio processors mostly use floating-point number. High-level language such as C and Java use both single precision and double precision floating-point number. In this paper, an algorithm which computes the reciprocal of double precision floating-point number using a 32 bit multiplier is proposed. It divides the mantissa of double precision floating-point number to upper part and lower part, and calculates the reciprocal of the upper part with Newton-Raphson algorithm. And it computes the reciprocal of double precision floating-point number with calculated upper part reciprocal as the initial value. Since the number of multiplications performed by the proposed algorithm is dependent on the mantissa of floating-point number, the average number of multiplications per an operation is derived from some reciprocal tables with varying sizes.

An optimal sensor placement (OSP) method based on structural subsection technique (SST) and model reduction technique was proposed for modal identification of truss structures, which was conducted using genetic algorithm (GA). The constraints of GA variables were determined by SST in advance. Subsequently, according to model reduction technique, the optimal group of master degrees of freedom and the optimal objective function value were obtained using GA in a case of the given number of sensors. Correspondingly, the optimal number of sensors was determined according to optimal objective function values in cases of the different number of sensors. The proposed method was applied on a scaled jacket offshore platform to get its optimal number of sensors and the corresponding optimal sensor layout. Then modal kinetic energy and modal assurance criterion were adopted to evaluate vibration energy and mode independence property. The experiment was also conducted to verify the effectiveness of the selected optimal sensor layout. The results showed that experimental modes agreed reasonably well with numerical results. Moreover the influence of the proposed method using different optimal algorithms and model reduction technique on optimal results was also compared. The results showed that the influence was very little.

In automated manufacturing systems, Automated Guided Vehicle(AGV) Systems are increasingly important in material handling and manufacturing operations. A considerably flexible AGV system needs to be operated with maximum effectiveness. This paper develops an algorithm for the determination of the entering point and the number of AGVs required in the Flow Shop Type FMS. We consider an AGV used as a carrier and mobile workstation. For the limited number of AGV, the entering point of an AGV on a simple loop is determined in order to maximize the utilization of AGVs. For the unlimited number of AGVs, the number of AGVs required in the FMS is determined on the basis of the entering point of AGVs. The result by the algorithm may be used as a criterion on the control of material flow and the assignment of AGVs in the FMS. A numerical example is given to illustrate the algorithm.

In this paper, we consider interval number-valued random variables and fuzzy number-valued random variables and discuss Choquet integrals of them. Using these properties, we define the Choquet expected value of fuzzy number-valued random variables which is a natural generalization of the Lebesgue expected value of fuzzy random variables. Furthermore, we discuss some application of them.

An RFID system consists of radio frequency tags attached to objects that need to be identified and one or more electromagnetic readers. Unlike the traditional bar code system, the great benefit of RFID technology is that it allows information to be read without requiring contact between the tag and the reader. For this contact-less feature, RFID technology in the near future will become an attractive alternative to bar code in many application fields. In almost all the 13.56MHz RFID systems, FSA (Framed Slot ALOHA) algorithm is used for identifying multiple tags in the reader's identification range. In FSA algorithm, the tag identification time and system efficiency depend mainly on the number of tags and frame size. In this paper, we propose a tag number estimation scheme and a dynamic frame size allocation scheme based on the estimated number of tags.
