This paper presents hardware scheme of fuzzy inference engine, based on α-level set decomposition of fuzzy sets for fuzzy control of DC servo system. We propose a method which is directly converted to PWM actuating signal by a one body of fuzzy inference and defuzzification. The influence of quantity α-levels on input/output characteristics of fuzzy controller and output response of DC servo system is investigated. It is concluded that quantity α-cut 4 give a sufficient result for fuzzy control performance of DC servo system. The experimental results shows that the proposed hardware method is effective for practical applications of DC servo system.

It is difficult to understand a person's emotion, since it is subjective and vague. Therefore, we are proposing a method by which will effectively classify human emotions into two types (that is, single emotion and composition emotion). To verify validity of te proposed method, we conducted two experiments based on general inference and $\alpha$-cut, and compared the experimental results. In the first experiment emotions were classified according to fuzzy inference. On the other hand in the second experiment emotions were classified according to $\alpha$-cut. Our experimental results showed that the classification of emotion based on a- cut was more definite that that based on fuzzy inference.

The diffusion of fuzzy logic techniques into real applications requires specific software supports which save development time and reduce the programming effort. But we has been lack of a tool devoted to support the design of fuzzy controllers. In this paper, on the basis of the general fuzzy set and .alpha.-cut set decomposition of fuzzy sets, a set of fuzzy reasoning tool(FRT) devoted to support the design of fuzzy dontroller for servo systems is developed. The major features of this tool are: 1) It supports users to analyze fuzzy ingerence status based on input deta and expected results by three-D graphic display. 2) It supports users to prepare input data and expected result. 3) It supports users to tuned scaling factor of membership functions, rules and fuzzy inference. The paper shows how the suggested design tools are suitable to give a consistent answer to the tuning of fuzzy control system. This FRT is expected to exert good performance and devoted to support which the design of fuzzy controller is illustrated in the servo systems.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the use of fuzzy set theory for image processing and analysis. As an application example, the fuzzy method of edge detection is proposed to extract the edges of raised characters on tires.In general, Sobel, Prewitt, Robert and LoG filters are used to detect the edge, but it is difficult to detect the edge because of ambiguity of representations, noise and general problems in the interpretation of tire image. Therefore, in his paper, the fuzzy property plane has been extracted from the spatial domain using the ramp-mapping function. And then the ideas of fuzzy MIN and MAX are applied in removing noise and enhancement of the image simultaneously. From the result of MIN and MAX procedure a new fuzzy singleton is generated by extracting the difference between adjacent membership function values. And the edges are extracted by applying fuzzy $\alpha$-cut set to the fuzzy singletion, Finally, these ideas are applied to the tire images.

This paper aims to measure and evaluates the technical efficiency with two inputs and four outputs with the use of fuzzy DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis) in Korean RCC(Rescue Co-ordination Center)/RSC(Rescue Sub-Center). Especially, this paper included not only the marine accident data which occurred for the analysis in particular but also the possibility data of a potential marine accident by an Environmental Stress value and analyzed the technical efficiency. And in this paper, asymmetrical triangular fuzzy number is presented about inputs/ outputs data and a procedure is suggest for it solution. The basic idea is to transform the fuzzy CCR model into a crisp linear programming problem by applying an alternative ${\alpha}-cut$ approach. Also this paper propose a ranking method for fuzzy RCC/RSC using presented fuzzy DEA approach. The result, when ${\alpha}-cut$ is 0.5, efficiency priority should be in order to YS, BS, MP, TS, JJ, PH, US, IC, SC, DR, GS, TA, WD RCC/RSC. Finally, Inefficiency TA, WD RCC/RSC have to benchmarking with reference sets.

The effectiveness of a binarization algorithm in image processing depends on how to eliminate the uncertainty of determining threshold in a reasonable way and on minimizing information loss due to the binarization effect. Fuzzy binarization technique was proposed to handle that uncertainty with fuzzy logic. However, that method is known to be inefficient when the given image has low intensity contrast. In this paper, we propose an improved fuzzy binarization method to overcome such known drawbacks. Our method proposes a trapezoid type fuzzy membership function instead of most-frequently used triangle type one. We also propose an adaptive ${\alpha}$_cut determination policy. Our proposed method has less information loss than other algorithms since we do not use any stretching based preprocessing for enhancing the intensity contrast. In experiment, our proposed method is verified to be more effective in binarization with less information loss for many different types of images with low intensity contrast such as night scenery, lumber scoliosis, and lipoma images.

학급에서의 아동 상호간의 관계 파악은 아동 성향 파악 및 생활지도 등에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 이러한 교우관계를 파악하게 되면 서로 잘 어울리는 친구들이나 외톨이로 있는 아동을 미리 찾아내어 아이들 상호간의 감정의 흐름을 파악할 수 있고 서로 협력하는 학급을 만들기 쉬울 것이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 학급 아동 상호간의 호감도에 의해 교우관계를 분석할 수 있는 시스템을 퍼지 (Fuzzy) 이론을 응용하여 설계하고 그룹화 할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 교우관계의 특성상 애매모호하고 불확실한 감정과 호감도를 몇 마디 말 또는 '좋아한다', '좋아하지 않는다'는 이분법적인 방법으로 분석하기에는 아동 상호간에 복잡한 감정을 다 표현하기 어렵기 때문에 퍼지이론을 적용하여 수치화된 정보로 상대적 비교가 가능하도록 함으로써 좀 더 정확한 아동 상호 관계를 분석할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 또한, 퍼지이론을 바탕으로 연결차수를 계산한 그룹화 방안을 제시하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 시스템과 분석화 방법의 특징은 첫째, 인간관계의 애매하고 모호한 점을 상대적 비교가 가능하게 함으로써 정확한 분석을 가능하게 하고, 둘째, 퍼지 이론의 적용을 통하여 해밍거리 (Hamming Distance)에 의한 유사도 분석이 가능한 시스템과 $\alpha$-수준집합 ($\alpha$-cut)에 의한 그룹화 방법을 제안하였으며, 셋째, 교육현장에서 발생할 수 있는 애매한 상황과 아동의 성향파악 등 수치적인 파악이 불가능한 부분을 분석이 가능한 데이터로 만들 수 있는 기초를 마련하였다.

Formaldehyde (FA) is widely used in industries, and it is an indoor and outdoor pollutant. Exposure to FA may cause inflammation and respiratory oxidative stress. Studies have demonstrated that FA can cause cancer in animal models. During the regeneration process of injured starfish (Asterina pectinifera), several changes have been observed in the expression of cytokines. In particular, higher TGF-${\beta}1$ expression has been detected in arm cut starfish extract after eight days. The current study was designed to elucidate the in-vitro and the in-vivo pharmacological effects of starfish extract on FA exposure. We investigated the protective effects of intact starfish extract and arm cut starfish extract on an IMR-90 cell line and on mouse lung injury in response to FA exposure. In the presence of FA, inhalation of the arm cut starfish extract was associated with more promising cell proliferation, TNF-${\alpha}$, NF-${\kappa}B$ decrement, and $I{\kappa}-B{\alpha}$ increment. In the experimental group, the pulmonary structure of the arm cut starfish extract-treated group in the presence of FA exposure was similar to the control group, whereas the FA exposure group showed damage to the pulmonary structure. Moreover, the arm cut starfish extracts was more effective than the intact starfish extracts in terms of the expression of TNF-${\alpha}$, NF-${\kappa}B$, $I{\kappa}-B{\alpha}$, and surfactant protein A. The results obtained in this study demonstrate that arm cut starfish extracts are more effective in protecting pulmonary structure and function against FA exposure than intact starfish extracts.

In this paper we propose a calculation method for fuzzy control based on quantized $\alpha$-cut decomposition of fuzzy sets. This method is easy to be implemented in analog hardware. The effect of quantization levels on defuzzified fuzzy inference results is investigated. A few quantization levels are sufficient for fuzzy control. The hardware implementation of this calculation method and the defuzzification by gravity center method by PWM are also presented.
