The aim of this investigation was to evaluate successfully functioning implants stability in the partially edentulous mandibular molar sites by resonance frequency measurements. Resonance frequency measurement is more objective and clinically non-invasive method than any other methods had been used. In this study, $Osstell^{TM}$ (Integration Diagnostics, Sweden) was used. 15 patients ( 7 males, 8 females ) were received each 2 implants in their mandibular unilaterally partial edentulous molar sites. Total 30 implants were installed, 28 implants were $Br{\aa}nemark^{(R)}$ self-tapping fixtures(MK II, Nobel Biocare, Sweden) and 2 were $3i^{(R)}$(USA) self-tapping fixtures. Minimum of functional loading durations was 12 months and there were no significant marginal bone resorptions and peri-implant problems. From this test, the following results were drawn: 1. Mean ISQ values of implants in the first and second mandibular molar area were $73.66{\pm}4.45$, $71.93{\pm}3.41$, respectively. There was no significant difference between two groups(p>0.05). Also mean ISQ value of total sum was 72.8. 2. Mean ISQ values of implants in males and females group were $71.64{\pm}4.06$, $73.81{\pm}3.76$, respectively. And there was no significant difference between two group(p>0.05). 3. Correlation between implant lengths and ISQ values was weak(r=0.128).

We build a local minimum free motion planning for mobile robots considering dynamic environments by simple sensor fusion assuming that there are unknown obstacles which can be detected only partially at a time by proximity sensors and can be cleaned up or moved slowly (dynamic environments). Potential field is used as a basic platform for the motion planning. To clear local minimum problem, the partial information on the obstacles should be memorized and integrated effectively. Sets of linked line segments (SLLS) are proposed as the integration method. Then robot's target point is replaced by virtual target considering the integrated sensing information. As for the main proximity sensors, we use laser slit emission and simple web camera since the system gives more continuous data information. Also, we use ultrasonic sensors as the auxiliary sensors for simple sensor fusion considering the advantages in that they give exact information about the presence of any obstacle within certain range. By using this sensor fusion, the dynamic environments can be dealt easily. The performance of our algorithm is validated via simulations and experiments.

본 연구는 탄성균열문제를 신속하고 정확하게 해석할 수 있는 새로운 개념의 그리드(grid) 없는 유한차분법을 제시한다. 이동최소제곱법을 이용한 Taylor 전개식 구성을 통해 직접적인 미분계산 없이 근사함수와 그 미분을 손쉽게 계산한다. 그리드로 인한 절점 간의 종속성이 없어 해석영역 내의 불연속면 모델링이 용이하여 차분식 구성시 균열로 인한 불연속 효과를 고려하는 과정도 자연스럽다. 유한차분법에 근간을 두고 있어 지배 미분방정식을 직접 이산화하기 때문에 수치적분이 필요한 수치기법에 비해 계산속도도 빠르다. 모드 I과 모드 II 균열문제 해석을 통해 본 해석기법이 정확하고 효율적으로 응력확대계수를 계산할 수 있음을 보였다.

So far as a solution of the given consistent linear system is concerned many numerical methods - both mathematically non-iterative as well as iterative - have been reported in the literature over the last couple of centuries. Most of these methods consider all the equations including linearly dependent ones in the system and obtain a solution whenever it exists. Since linearly dependent equations do not add any new information to a system concerning a solution we have proposed an algorithm that identifies them and prunes them in the process of solving the system. The pruning process does not involve row/column interchanges as in the case of Gauss reduction with partial/complete pivoting. We demonstrate here that the use of pruning as an inbuilt part of our solution process reduces computational and storage complexities and also computational error.

Exhausting fossil fuel and increasing concern of air pollution have brought on the change of the focus of developing new vehicles from performance to fuel economy and emission. The gasoline engines adopting the naturally aspirated way use the throttle-body for engine load control. Therefore, its pumping loss increases more than that of the diesel engine, and also mostly operating in a partial load condition has bad influence on fuel economy and emission. In these days, the continuous variable valve timing system and variable induction system are adopted in order to improve fuel consumption and emission. In this study, we optimize the runner length and operate region of variable induction system to simulataneously improve the performance, fuel economy, and emission of gasoline engine with employing GT-Power as a CAE tool for engine analysis and PIAnO as PIDO tool for process integration and design optimization.

A nuclear power plant can be viewed as a large complex man-machine system where high system reliability is obtained by ensuring that sub-systems are designed to operate at a very high level of performance. The chance of severe accident involving at least partial core-melt is very low but once it happens the consequence is very catastrophic. The prediction of risk in low probability, high-risk incidents must be examined in the contest of general engineering knowledge and operational experience. Engineering knowledge forms part of the prior information that must be quantified and then updated by statistical evidence gathered from operational experience. Recently, Bayesian procedures have been used to estimate rate of accident and to predict future risks. The Bayesian procedure has advantages in that it efficiently incorporates experts opinions and, if properly applied, it adaptively updates the model parameters such as the rate or probability of accidents. But at the same time it has the disadvantages of computational complexity. The predictive distribution for the time to next incident can not always be expected to end up with a nice closed form even with conjugate priors. Thus we often encounter a numerical integration problem with high dimensions to obtain a predictive distribution, which is practically unsolvable for a model that involves many parameters. In order to circumvent this difficulty, we propose a method of approximation that essentially breaks down a problem involving many integrations into several repetitive steps so that each step involves only a small number of integrations.

State-of-charge (SOC) is one of the significant indicators to estimate the driving range of the electric vehicle and to control the alternator of the conventional engine vehicles as well. Therefore its precise estimation is crucial not only for utilizing the energy effectively but also preventing critical situations happening to the power train and lengthening the lifetime of the battery. However, lead-acid battery is time-variant, highly nonlinear, and the hysteresis phenomenon causes large errors in estimation SOC of the battery especially under the frequent discharge/charge. This paper proposes a novel estimation technique for the SOC of the Lead-Acid battery by using a well-known Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and an electrical equivalent circuit model of the Lead-Acid battery considering diffusion and hysteresis characteristics. The diffusion is considered by the reconstruction of the open circuit voltage decay depending on the rest time and the hysteresis effect is modeled by calculating the normalized integration of the charge throughput during the partial cycle. The validity of the proposed algorithm is verified through the experiments.

Bragg reflection of nonlinear waves is simulated by a 2D fully nonlinear numerical wave tank (NWT). The developed NWT was based on the Boundary Element Method (BEM) with potential theory and the mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian (MEL) time marching scheme with Runge-Kutta 4th-order time integration. A spatial variation of wave elevations and their Fourier amplitudes of each component are compared to investigate the effect of sea bottom ripples and their relative heights. The incident waves over an undulated sea bottom are partially reflected and changed to partial standing waves due to Bragg reflection. The present results are verified with linear calculations and experimental data. It is found that the 1st-order wave component is mainly affected by Bragg reflection and its spatial modulation is significant in front of the bottom ripples.

Some things come easily to humans, one of them is the ability to navigate around. This capability of navigation suffers significantly in case of partial or complete blindness, restricting life activity. Advances in the technological landscape have given way to new solutions aiding navigation for the visually impaired. In this paper, we analyze the existing works and identify the challenges of path selection, context awareness, obstacle detection/identification and integration of visual and nonvisual information associated with real-time assisted mobility. In the process, we explore machine learning approaches for robotic path planning, multi constrained optimal path computation and sensor based wearable assistive devices for the visually impaired. It is observed that the solution to problem is complex and computationally intensive and significant effort is required towards the development of richer and comfortable paths for safe and smooth navigation of visually impaired people. We cannot overlook to explore more effective strategies of acquiring surrounding information towards autonomous mobility.

본 논문은 유사변환기법을 이용한 새로운 3차원 연직 모우드 전개 모델의 개발에 대하여 기술한다. 기본방정식을 External 모우드와 Internal 모우드로 분리시킨 다음 Internal 모우드식에 Galerkin 방법을 적용하고 구성되는 행열방정식에 유사변환기법을 적용, 기저함수의 계수 값을 구하였다. 최종 얻어지는 기저함수의 계수 값은 마찰장을 제외하고는 비연계되어 시간 간격의 제약을 거의 받지않고 연직 구조를 구할 수 있기 때문에 경제성면에서 탁월하다. 수립된 모델은 어떤 기저함수라도 적용 가능하나 현 단계에서는 Chebyshev 다항식함수가 사용되었으며, 바람응력은 일정한 것으로 가정하였다. 모델 테스트로서 정상상태의 균일한 바람응력이 가해지는 장방형 Basin에 적용하여 모델의 적용 가능성을 검증하였다.
