By using the conceptual impedance and the elasticity of a serial chain of spring-damper system, a real-time collision-free trajectory generation algorithm is proposed. The reference points on a trajectory connected by the spring-damper system have a mechanism for self-Position adjustment to avoid a collision by the impedance, and the local adjustment of each reference point is propagated through the elasticity to a real robot at the end of the spring-damper system. As a result, the overall trajectory consisting of the reference points becomes free of collision with environmental obstacles and efficient having the shortest distance as possible. In this process, the reference points connected by the spring-damper system take role of virtual robot as global guidance for a real robot, and a cooperative optimization is carried out by the system of virtual robots. A control algorithm is proposed to implement the impedance for a car-like mobile robot.

In this paper, a statistical reference-free real-time damage detection methodology is proposed for detecting joint and member damage of truss bridge structures. For the statistical damage sensitive index (DSI), wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) in conjunction with the log likelihood ratio was suggested. A sensitivity test for selecting a wavelet packet that is most sensitive to damage level was conducted and determination of the level of decomposition was also described. Advantages of the proposed method for applications to real-time health monitoring systems were demonstrated by using the log likelihood ratios instead of likelihood ratios. A laboratory truss bridge structure instrumented with accelerometers and a shaker was used for experimental verification tests of the proposed methodology. The statistical reference-free real-time damage detection algorithm was successfully implemented and verified by detecting three damage types frequently observed in truss bridge structures - such as loss of bolts, loosening of bolts at multiple locations, sectional loss of members - without reference signals from pristine structure. The DSI based on WPD and the log likelihood ratio showed consistent and reliable results under different damage scenarios.

This work describes a 13b 100 MS/s 0.13 um CMOS four-stage pipeline ADC for 3G communication systems. The proposed SHA-free ADC employs a range-scaling technique based on switched-capacitor circuits to properly handle a wide input range of $2V_{P-P}$ using a single on-chip reference of $1V_{P-P}$. The proposed range scaling makes the reference buffers keep a sufficient voltage headroom and doubles the offset tolerance of a latched comparator in the flash ADC1 with a doubled input range. A two-step reference selection technique in the back-end 5b flash ADC reduces both power dissipation and chip area by 50%. The prototype ADC in a 0.13 um CMOS demonstrates the measured differential and integral nonlinearities within 0.57 LSB and 0.99 LSB, respectively. The ADC shows a maximum signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio of 64.6 dB and a maximum spurious-free dynamic range of 74.0 dB at 100 MS/s, respectively. The ADC with an active die area of 1.2 $mm^2$ consumes 145.6 mW including high-speed reference buffers and 91 mW excluding buffers at 100 MS/s and a 1.3 V supply voltage.

Biped locomotion can be simply modeled as a linear inverted pendulum mode. This model considers only the CG (center of gravity) of the entire system. But in real biped robot systems, the free-leg motion dynamics is not negligible. So if its dynamics is not considered in designing the reference CG motion, it is badly influence to the ZMP(zero moment point) position of the biped robot walking in the sagittal plane. Therefore, we modeled the biped locomotion similar to the linear inverted pendulum mode but considered the predetermined free-leg dynamics. To verify that the proposed biped locomotion is more stable than the linear inverted pendulum mode, we constructed a biped robot simulator and designed a serco controller to track both the reference motion of the free leg and the reference motion of CG of the biped robot using the computed torque control low. And through simulations, we verified that the proposed walking is better in stability than the one based on the linear inverted pendulum mode.

Measurement of the potential of a buried pipeline using the Cu/$CuSO_4$ reference electrode is the most widely used method for the estimation of the corrosion susceptibility of the pipeline. The recorded values, however, include inevitable errors due to the IR drop caused by the stray currents. In this paper, we describe the characteristics of the IR-free reference electrode used for more accurate measurement of the pipe line potential.

Ocean satellite altimetry-implied free-air gravity anomalies have had the shortest wavelengths removed during the processing to generate the optimal solution between multiple radar altimeter missions. ERS-1 168day mission altimetry was residualized to a reference geoid surface generated by integrating Anderson & Knudsen’s free-air gravity anomalies for the Barents Sea. The altimetry tracks were reduced and filtered to extract the shortest wavelengths (between 4 and 111 km) from both ascending and descending tracks, respectively. These data were recombined using existing quadrant-swapping techniques in the wavenumber domain to generate a correlated, high frequency gravity field related to the local geologic sources. This added-value surface adjusted the reference free-air gravity anomalies to better reflect features in the gravity field at a wavelength related to the distance between altimetry ground tracks.

본 논문에서는 RFID 시스템을 기반으로 거리 비종속(range-free) 방식의 위치추정기법을 제안한다. 이 기법에서는 위치가 알려져 있는 참조태그를 먼저 인식한 후, 함께 인식되는 대상태그들이 어떤 참조태그 주변에 존재하는지를 파악할 수 있도록 하는데, 이때 대상태그의 위치를 참조태그와의 관계(근접여부)로 표현할 수 있게 하여 위치를 추정한다. 이를 위해 RFID 시스템에서 인식 빈도에 따라 거리를 추정할 수 있도록 에이징 카운터(Aging Counter)를 이용한다. 제안하는 위치추정기법의 유효성을 증명하기위해 본 논문에서 개발한 기법을 도서관에서 사용할 수 있는 도서위치추정 시스템과 연계하여 설명하도록 한다.

The main objective of this study is to discuss the effect of free cash flow as a moderating variable on managers' decisions as regard earnings management. Companies with free cash flow are expected to refrain from taking opportunistic actions such as earnings management. The research used quantitative methods with sub-group moderating analysis. It is found that there is a significant relationship between past performance and earnings management, where the free cash flow is the moderating variable. The effect of past performance on earnings management is shown to slightly increase as free cash flow is considered. The findings of this study prove that earnings management is a practice that is often done by utilizing the flexibility of accounting recording and recognition mechanisms. Past performance becomes the main variable in encouraging managers to manage earnings by reducing revenue in the current period. This research can also be a reference in explaining managerial behavior and can be a reference to improving ethical human resource capabilities. This research focuses on companies in Indonesia that conduct earnings management by lowering profits as a result of declining past performance and examines aspects of free cash flow that reinforces the conduct of earnings management.

현재 MPEG에서 무료(royalty-free) 비디오 코덱으로 표준화 중인 IVC(Internet Video Coding)에서는 저지연(low-delay) 모드 부호화 구조에서 비참조 P 프레임 부호화 기법을 사용하여 부호화 성능 이득을 얻고 있다. IVC 시험모델 ITM(IVC Test Model) 4.0에 채택되어 있던 기존의 비참조 P 프레임 기법은 움직임 벡터(MV)의 크기를 이용하여 적응적으로 고정된 부호화 구조의 비참조 P 프레임을 적용하였으나 시퀀스에 따라서 오히려 부호화 성능이 크게 떨어지는 단점이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기존의 적응적 비참조 P 프레임 부호화 성능을 개선하기 위하여 기존의 고정된 비참조 P 프레임의 구조를 변경하는 기법과 MV와 함께 참조 프레임 대비 비참조 프레임의 발생 비트량 비를 함께 사용하는 적응적 기법을 제시한다. 실험결과 제안된 기법은 시퀀스에 따른 큰 성능 저하 없이 ITM 7.0 대비 6.6% 정도의 비트율 감소를 얻음을 확인하였다.
