  • In this paper, an improved method of environment map building and a region search algorithm for mobile robot are presented. For the environment map building of mobile robot, measurement data of ultrasonic sensors and certainty grid representation is usually used. In this case, inaccuracies due to the uncertainty of ultrasonic data are included in the map. In order to solve this problem, an environment map building method using a Bayesian model was proposed previously[5]. In this study, we present an improved method of probability map building that uses infrared sensors and shift division Gaussian probability distribution with the existing Bayesian update method using ultrasonic sensors. Also, a region search algorithm for ...

  • In this study, a new, relatively simple fabrication method for forming a mesoporous $Al(OH)_3$ film on Al substrates was demonstrated. This method, i.e., alkali surface modification, was simply comprised of dipping the substrate in a $5\times10^{-3}$ M NaOH solution at $80^{\circ}C$ for one minute and then immersing it in boiling water for 30 minutes. After alkali surface modification, a mesoporous $Al(OH)_3$ film was formed on the Al substrate, and its chemical state and crystal structure were confirmed by XPS and TEM. According to the results of the XPS analysis, the flake-like morphology after the alkali surface modification was mainly composed of $Al(OH)_3$, with a small amount of $Al_2O_3$. The mesoporous $Al(OH)_3$ layer was composed of three regions: an amorphousrich region, a region of mixed amorphous and crystal domains, and a crystalline-rich region near the $Al(OH)_3$ layer surface. It was confirmed that the stabilization process in the alkali surface modification strongly influenced the crystallization of the mesoporous $Al(OH)_3$ layer.

  • Two-dimensional tensile stresses are occurring at the back of the anchorage of the tendons of prestressed concrete bridges. A new method named "tensile stress region" for the design of the reinforcement is presented in this paper. The basic idea of this approach is the division of an anchor block into several slices, which are described by the tensile stress region. The orthogonal reinforcing wire mesh can be designed in each slice to resist the tensile stresses. Additionally the sum of the depth of every slice defined by the tensile stress region is used to control the required length of the longitudinal reinforcement bars. An example for the reinforcement design of an anchorage block of an external prestressed concrete bridge is analyzed by means of the new presented method and a finite element model is established to compare the results. Furthermore the influence of the transverse and vertical prestressing on the ordinary reinforcement design is taken into account. The results show that the amount of reinforcement bars at the anchorage block is influenced by the layout of the transverse and the vertical prestressing tendons. Using the "tensile stress region" method, the ordinary reinforcement bars can be designed more precisely compared to the design codes, and arranged according to the stress state in every slice.

  • This paper describes a development of traction unit for 2-motor driven electric vehicle (EV). The traction unit is consisted with an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM), a reduction gear and an inverter for electric vehicle that is driven by 2 motors without differential gear. For traction unit, prototype IPMSM and inverter have been developed. The IPMSM was designed by CAD program that was developed with both equivalent circuit method and FEM. Also the inverter was developed to drive 2 motors with 6 legs IGBT switches in a control board. The vector control algorithm was implemented with maximum torque control method in the constant torque region and field weakening control method in the constant power region considering inverter capacity. To verify that the traction unit is more high efficiency and has more high power density than a traction unit with induction motor with the same power, we would like to show the results about the design and analysis of the IPMSM and the experiment results about the traction unit.

  • This paper proposed an optimized design of a dual active bridge converter for a low-voltage charger. The dual active bridge converter among various bi-directional DC/DC converters is a high-efficiency isolated bi-directional converter. In the general design, when the battery voltage is high, the ZVS region is reduced. In contrast, when the battery voltage is low, the efficiency is low due to high conduction loss. In order to increase the ZVS region and the power conversion efficiency, depending on the battery voltage, variable switching frequency method is applied. At the same duty, the same power is obtained regardless of the battery voltage using the variable switching frequency method. The proposed method was applied to a 5kW prototype converter, and the experimental results were analyzed and verified.

  • This study was carried to identify a correct species and asses genetic diversity within the same species of Grifola spp. preserved in Division of applied Microbiology. Contaminated isolates showed different growth rates, morphology and color of hyphae. We have reconstructed the phylogenetic tree of a select group of Grifola spp. using nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region(ITS) region. The phylogenetic tree was constructed by using the neighbor-joining method. PELF primers of 20-mer were used to assess genetic diversity of preserved isolates. Sequence analysis showed that four strains were identified completely different nomenclature. According to the analysis of ITS sequences, the genus Grifola clustered into one group, most of which correlated with species-groups identified by RAPD method. Eight isolates included strain GM01 showed high similarity with Grifola frondosa. All isolates were collected in the Japan(GM01, GM02, GM03) was identified as Grifola frondosa and isolates of the China(GM05, GM06, GM08) was identified as Bjerkandera fumosa, Grifola frondosa and Dichomitus squalens, respectively. RAPD analysis of genetic polymorphisms of genus Grifola showed a very different band patterns on the isolat. As the result of RAPD and ITS region sequences analysis for preserved isolates, it seems likely that 4 isolates of Grifola spp. may be need to reclassify or eliminate from preserved catalogue.

  • A survey was conducted to study the ingredient and the nutrition of Yukwa consumed in Jeonbuk region. Additional survey was performed to the adult population in Jeobook region to identify the recognition and improvement of Yukwa. The ingredient and baking process varies from each region. The modernization of Yukwa baking process requires introduction of new flavour using new ingredient and simplification of the baking process as these two factors are holding back the modernization of the Yukwa. Top quality Yukwa can be produced by standardized baking process, using top quality agricultural goods, cultivated in Korea. The key to making Yukwa more accessible to the public is by simplifying the current baking process, including the drying process Bandegi, which is the most complicated process of all.

  • In this letter, we propose a new functionality to scalable video coding (SVC), that is, the support of multiple region of interests (ROIs) for heterogeneous display resolution. The main objective of SVC is to provide temporal, spatial, and quality scalability of an encoded bitstream. The ROI is an area that is semantically important to a particular user, especially users with heterogeneous display resolutions. Less transmission bandwidth is needed compared to when the entire region is transmitted/decoded and then sub-sampled or cropped. To support multiple ROIs in SVC, we adopt flexible macroblock ordering (FMO), a tool defined in H.264, and based on it, we propose a way to encode and, independently, decode ROIs. The proposed method is implemented on the joint scalable video model (JSVM) and its functionality verified.
