A series of pullout tests were carried out on waste tire treadmats of various weave arrangements, with confining stresses ranging from 9 to 59 kPa approximately, in order to investigate the pullout behavior and to apply the results to the design of treadmat reinforced soil structures. A treadmat reinforcement can be considered as belonging to the extensible type thus progressive failure would develop in every tread. The pullout capacity of a treadmat was found to be generally equal to the sum of capacities of the longitudinal treads, with minor enhancement realized due to the presence of transverse treads. Pullout failures occurred in treadmats under light surcharge and with treadmats with higher material presence per unit area, while breakage failures occurred in treadmats under heavier surcharge and with treadmats with higher ratio of opening. The pullout capacity of a treadmat increased with increasing surcharge height and treadmat stiffness. A pullout test on a commercially available geogrid was also carried out for comparison and the pullout capacity of a treadmat was found higher than that of the comparable geogrid under identical loading conditions, indicating the merit of using the treadmat as an alternative to the chosen geogrid.

We present an augmented reality (AR) application for cell phone where users put a virtual pet on their palms and play/interact with the pet by moving their hands and fingers naturally. The application is fundamentally based on hand/palm pose recognition and finger motion estimation, which is the main concern in this paper. We propose a fast and efficient hand/palm pose recognition method which uses natural features (e.g. direction, width, contour shape of hand region) extracted from a hand image with prior knowledge for hand shape or geometry (e.g. its approximated shape when a palm is open, length ratio between palm width and pal height). We also propose a natural interaction method which recognizes natural motion of fingers such as opening/closing palm based on fingertip tracking. Based on the proposed methods, we developed and tested the AR application on an ultra-mobile PC (UMPC).

This paper proposes engineering estimation equations of elastic-plastic J and COD fur axial through-wall cracked pipes under internal pressure. Based on detailed 3-D FE results based on deformation plasticity, the plastic influence functions for fully plastic J and COD solutions are tabulated as a function of the mean radius-to-thickness ratio, the normalized crack length. and the strain hardening. Based on these results, the GE/EPRI-type J and COD estimation equations are proposed and validated against the 3-D FE results based on deformation plasticity. For more general application to general stress-strain laws or to complex loading, the developed GE/EPRI-type solutions are re-formulated based on the reference stress concept. Such a reformulation provides simpler equations for J and COD, which are then further extended to combined internal pressure and bending. The proposed reference stress based J and COD estimation equations are compared with elastic-plastic 3-D FE results using actual stress-strain data for Type 316 stainless steels. The FE results for both internal pressure cases and combined internal pressure and bending cases compare very well with the proposed J and COD estimations.

EGR율이 증가할수록 $NO_X$ 저감에는 효과적이나, 과도한 EGR율은 오히려 불완전 연소의 주원인이 된다. 엄격한 배기규제를 만족하기 위해서는 엔진의 운행 조건에 최적화된 정밀한 EGR 밸브의 위치 제어가 뒷받침 되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 EGR 밸브 용 모터 특성 분석을 위해 수학적 모델링과 제어 이론에 대해 연구하고, 마이크로칩 개발 툴을 이용하여 EGR 밸브용 모터의 위치를 제어하기 위한 단계로서 PWM(Pulse Width Modulation)의 듀티(duty)비의 입력 값에 따른 밸브 위치를 측정하여 개폐 구간 별 EGR 밸브 모터 특성을 분석하였다.

In the process of oyster mushroom production, loading work of culture medium needs the most intensive labor power and cost. Therefore, the development of culture medium loading machine causes to reduce the manpower and cost. The main objectives of this study are identify cultivating environment, physical properties of culture medium and to make an element design of culture medium loading machine. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The moisture content and density of popularly used culture medium were 70%(w.b), $26\;kg/m^3$, respectively. 2. Pressure of the blower increased as the impeller speed increased, and the opening ratio of pressure controller decreased. 3. Recommendable c1earance(${\delta}$) between an impeller plate and a blower case was 25 mm at an impeller speed of 3183 rpm 4. Discharge device of type B with a hopper and suit was better than type A with a hopper.

In this paper, we propose a new affine shape adaptation scheme for the affine invariant feature detector, in which the convergence stability is still an opening problem. This paper examines the relation between the integration scale matrix of next iteration and the current second moment matrix and finds that the convergence stability of the method can be improved by adjusting the relation between the two matrices instead of keeping them always proportional as proposed by previous methods. By estimating and updating the shape of the integration kernel and differentiation kernel in each iteration based on the anisotropy of the current second moment matrix, we propose a coarse-to-fine affine shape adaptation scheme which is able to adjust the pace of convergence and enable the process to converge smoothly. The feature matching experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach obtains an improvement in convergence ratio and repeatability compared with the current schemes with relatively fixed integration kernel.

본 논문에서는 UHF RFID Reader 장치에서 고주파 신호 송신을 위한 발진기형 능동 안테나를 설계 제작하였다. 능동 안테나의 방사체로는 임피던스 정합이 용이하면서 좌선 원형 편파 특성을 갖는 소형화된 사각형 링 패치 안테나가 제안되었다. 이를 기반으로 링 패치 내부의 빈 공간에 RF증폭 회로를 위치시켜 사각형 링 패치와 상호연결하여 궤환 구조를 형성함으로써 발진 회로를 구성하였다. 발진 중심 주파수는 915 MHz이며 링 패치는 발진기의 공진기로 활용하였다. 실험 결과, 임피던스 대역폭 29 MHz, 3 dB 축비 대역폭 20 MHz, 3 dB 빔폭 $85^{\circ}$, 그리고 유효 방사 전력을 8.8 dBm을 얻었다.

Size control of therapeutic carriers in drug delivery systems has become important due to its relevance to biodistribution in the human body and therapeutic efficacy. To understand the dependence of particle size on the formation condition during nanoprecipitation method, we prepared nanoparticles from biodegradable, amphiphilic block copolymers and investigated the particle size and structure of the resultant nanoparticles according to various process parameters. We synthesized monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) block copolymer, MPEG-PCL, with different MPEG/PCL ratios via ring opening polymerization initiated from the hydroxyl end group of MPEG. Using various formulations with systematic change of the block ratio of MPEG and PCL, solvent choice, and concentration of organic phase, MPEG-PCL nanoparticles were prepared through nanoprecipitation technique. The results indicated that (i) the nanoparticles have a dual structure with an MPEG shell and a PCL core, originating from self-assembly of MPEG-PCL copolymer in aqueous condition, and (ii) the size of nanoparticles is dependent upon two sequential processes: diffusion between the organic and aqueous phases and solidification of the polymer.
