In this paper, we propose how to determine the optimal camera position using inverse kinematics of virtual link model and manipulability measure. We model the variable distance and viewing direction between a target object and a camera position as a virtual link. And, by using inverse kinematics of virtual link model, we find out regions that satisfy the direction and distance constraints for the observation of target object. The solution of inverse kinematics of virtual link model simultaneously satisfies camera accessibility as well as a direction and distance constraints. And we use a manipulability measure of active camera system in order to determine an optimal camera position among the multiple solutions of inverse kinematics. By using the inverse kinematics of virtual link model and manipulability measure, the optimal camera position in order to observe a target object can be determined easily and rapidly.

The E-Core Transverse Flux Machine is a different design of transverse flux machines combined with reluctance principle. Determination of the rotor position is important for the movement of the ETFM by switching the phase currents in synchronism with the inductance regions of the stator windings. It is the first time that rotor position estimation based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is purposed to eliminate the position sensor for the ETFM. Simulation and experimental tests are demonstrated for the feasibility of the proposed estimation algorithm for the exercise bike application of the ETFM.

This paper presents a new algorithm to determine the receiver position in satellite navigation for GPS(Global Positioning System). The algorithm which based on vector analysis is able to obtain simultaneously the receiver position and the direction vector which is from the receiver position to a satellite. In its first calculation stage it, does riot require the complex initial value which is used in the previous works and affects the accuracy of the observed receiver position. Furthermore, the algorithm tells us whether a selected configuration among the visible satellites is good or poor for the accuracy. Comparing the algorithm with the previous method, the effectiveness of the algorithm is verified through the experimental simulations.

In robot system, the robot manipulation needs the information of task and objects to be handled in possessing a variaty of positions and orientations. In the current industrial robot system, determining position and orientation of objects under industrial environments is one of major problems. In order to pick up an object, the roblt needs the information about the position and orientation of object, and between objects and gripper. When sensing is accomplished by pinhole model camera, the mathematical relationship between object points and their images is expressed in terms of perspective, i.e., central projection. In this paper, a new approach to determine the information of the supporting points related to position and orientation of the object using the robot vision system is developed and testified in experimental setup. The result will be useful for the industrial, agricultural, and autonomous robot.

In this paper, we propose a design procedure for determining the gate position robust to changes and inherent fluctuations in the process conditions during injection molding. To evaluate the robustness of the gate position, the signal-to-noise ratio is used, and noise conditions are implemented using orthogonal arrays, where the process variables are considered as noise factors and possible process fluctuations are set as the levels of the noise factors. To show the usefulness of the proposed robust design procedure, we apply it to a computer CPU baseplate. As a result, it is shown that a robust gate position can be determined that reduces the average warpage deflection by 2.4% and 1.7%, and the variance by 3.4% and 5.1%, compared to the two initial gate positions.

This paper proposes an optimum vision system analysis and a reliable high-precision positioning system that converges a GNSS and a vision system in order to resolve position error and outdoor shaded areas two disadvantages of GNSS. For location determination of the object, it should receive signal from at least four GNSS. However, in urban areas, exact location determination is difficult due to factors like high buildings, obstacles, and reflected waves. In order to deal with the above problem, a vision system was employed. First, determine an exact position value of a target object in urban areas whose environment is poor for a GNSS. Then, identify such target object by a vision system and its position error is corrected using such target object. A vehicle can identify such target object using a vision system while moving, make location data values, and revise location calculations, thereby resulting in reliable high precision location determination.

Palaeomagnetic studies accompany calculation and plotting of pole position. This paper explains three graphical methods for the determination of pole position and plotting problem. It also derives the numerical formula for pole calculation and explains the method how the pole plotted on the rear hemisphere can be transformed to the frontal hemisphere, which is not clarified elsewhere.

One of the important restraint conditions for determination of rotary tiller parameters is whether the outside of front cutting surface on blade in rotary tiller pushes untilled soil in operation. By theoretical analysis and graphic verification on computer, no sil-push conditions is put forward and formula for calculating the position angle of its bent line derived, as is convenient for selection of rotary tiller parameters and design and drawing of its blade.

The free vibration analyses of the isotropic and CFRP laminated composite rectangular plates with point supports at the fix edge is performed by FEM. We showed optimal position and mode shape of point supports that maximized fundamental natural frequency of the isotropic and CFRP laminated composite rectangular plates by each aspect ratio and the number of point supports.

Most of machines are physically or chemically degenerated by continuous usage. There- fore, a preventive maintenance is necessary. Producing defects are caused by process shift in mean and variance which are due to three types of degeneration. We develope the function of process variance from the experimental data and determine the optimal tool wear limit and the initial setting position of tool by considering the percent defective cost and the preventive maintenance cost.
