The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of one-handed interaction modes for supporting the dead zone that users must be difficulty in performing the touch manipulation with only one hand. For the purpose, this study analyzed two existing one-handed modes in iPhone and Android smartphones, and proposed and implemented two additional one-handed modes. In order to investigate effectiveness of the one-handed modes, we performed the experiment that compared normal touch mode with the four one-handed modes. Experimental results showed that all one-handed modes required more time than normal touch mode because of the time requiring in both mode change and recognition. However, the participants had difficulty in manipulating continuous touches at dead zone area with only normal touch. Moreover, the subjective satisfaction was high in one-handed modes thanks to touch convenience and smooth transition effects in mode change. In special, the one-handed mode at iPhone was the most effective out of the tested modes.

Despite the development of computational resources, the need to analyze models is increasing. The size of model has been increased to analyze the entire structure more accurately and precisely. As the analysis model becomes larger and more complex, the computation time increases exponentially. Various industries use many structures that have repeated patterns. We focus on these structures with repeated patterns and propose a dynamic analysis method to efficiently calculate these repeated structures. To devise an efficient method for repeated structures, the substructuring scheme and the degree of freedom-based reduction method are used in this study. We modify the existing reduction method in consideration of the characteristics of the repeating structure. In the proposed method, the entire structure was expressed as a combination of substructures, where each substructure was represented as an unit cell of repeated structures. The substructures were condensed and assembled using the substructuring scheme and the modified condensation method. Finally, numerical examples were demonstrated to verify the efficiency and accuracy of proposed method.

디스플레이 기술이 발전함에 따라 다양한 크기의 디스플레이를 탑재한 장치들이 등장하게 되었고, 다양한 디스플레이 크기만큼 다양한 해상도를 사용하고 있다. 때문에 비디오 코덱과 scaler는 보편적으로 함께 사용된다. 그러나 기존의 scaler는 비디오 코덱의 복호화기와 화면 해상도 변환 모듈이 독립적으로 구성되고, 서로 간에 정보를 이용하지 않으므로 시스템의 성능 개선에 한계가 존재하였다. 즉, 비디오 코덱의 복호화기는 비트스트림으로부터 복호한 정보를 바탕으로 영상을 복원하고, 복원영상은 up/down scaler에서 확대/축소를 수행한다. 하지만 비디오 코덱의 비트스트림에 존재하는 정보는 영상의 특성을 반영하기 때문에 up/down scaler에서 비디오 코덱의 복호화기에서 복호된 정보를 이용하면 복잡도의 증가 없이 효율적인 확대/축소를 수행할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 비디오 코덱 중 차세대 비디오 코덱인 H.264/AVC 복호화기에서 생성된 복원 영상에 대해서 별도로 영상의 특성을 계산하는 모듈 없이 H.264/AVC 복호화기에서 복원된 정보 중 인트라 모드 정보를 바탕으로 영상의 특성에 맞는 up/down scaler를 구현하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 기존의 scaler들보다 물체의 경계영역을 더 선명하게 확대하는 효과를 보인다.

Thermal deformation of machine tools can be evaluated from the analysis of the whole temperature field. However, it is extremely inefficient and impossible to acquire the whole temperature field by measuring temperatures of every point. So, a temperature estimator, which can estimate the whole temperature field from the temperatures of just a few points, is required. In this paper, 1-dimensional heat transfer problem is modeled with modal analysis and state space equations. and then state observer is designed to estimate the intensity of heat source and the whole temperature field in real-time. The reliability of this estimator is verified by making a comparison between solutions by the proposed method and the exact solutions of examples. The proposed method is applied to the estimation of temperature distribution in a ball screw system.

An experimental study was conducted on baseline model updating and damage estimation techniques for the health monitoring of offshore wind turbine tripod substructures. First, a procedure for substructure health monitoring was proposed. An initial baseline model for a scaled model of a tripod substructure was established. A baseline model was updated based on the natural frequencies and the mode shapes measured in the healthy state. A training pattern was then generated using the updated baseline model, and the damage was estimated by inputting the modal parameters measured in the damaged state into the trained neural network. The baseline model could be updated reasonably using the effective fixity model. The damage tests were performed, and the damage locations could be estimated reasonably. In addition, the estimated damage severity also increased as the actual damage severity increased. On the other hand, when the damage severity was relatively small, the corresponding damage location was detected, but it was more difficult to identify than the other cases. Further studies on small damage estimation and stiffness reduction quantification will be needed before the presented method can be used effectively for the health monitoring of tripod substructures.

Four types of experiments were performed to check the similitude of member behavior between prototype and 1 /10 scale models : (1) Test of slender columns with P-$\Delta$ effect, (2) Test of short columns with and without confinement steel, (3) Test of simple beams without stirrups, and (4) 'T-beam test. Based on the results of experiments, the conclusions were made as follows : (1) The P-$\Delta$ effect of slender columns can be almost exactly represented by 1/10 scale model. (2) The effect of confinement on short columns by the hoop steel can be also roughly simulated by 1/10 scale model. (3) The failure modes of simple beams without stirrups are brittle shear failures in prototype whereas those of 1/10 scale models are the ductile yielding of tension steel followed by large diagonal tension cracking and compressive concrete failure. (4) The behaviors of prototype and 1/10 scale model in T-beams appear very similar.

A scaled version of a roller rig is developed to demonstrate the dynamic characteristics of a railway vehicle for academic purposes. This rig is designed based on Jaschinski's similarity law. It is scaled to 1/10 of actual size and allows 9-DOF motion to examine the up and down vibration of a train set. The test rig consists of three sub-hardware components: (i) a driving roller mechanism with a three-phase AC motor and an inverter, (ii) a bogie structure with first and second suspensions, and (iii) the vehicle body. The motor of the rig is capable of 3,600rpm, allowing the test to simulate a vehicle up to a maximum speed of 400Km/hr. Because bearings and joints are properly connected to the sub-structures, various motion analyses, such as a lateral, pitching, and yawing motion, are allowed. The slip motion between the rail and the wheel set is also monitored by several sensors mounted in the rig. After the construction of the hardware, an experiment is conducted to obtain the natural frequencies of the dynamic behavior of the specimen. First, the test rig is run and data are collected from six sets of accelerometers. Then, a numerical analysis of the model based on the ADAMS program is derived. Finally, the measurement data of the first three fundamental frequencies are compared to the analytical result and the validation of the test rig is conducted. The results show that the developed roller rig provides good accuracy in simulating the dynamic behavior of the vehicle motion. Although the roller rig designed in this paper is intended for academia, it can easily be implemented as part of a dynamic experiment of a bogie and a vehicle body for a high-speed train as part of the research efforts in this area.

As wireless network technology has advanced, demands for multimedia contents through mobile environment have tendered to upward. Since network situation is changing every moment and types of user terminals are diverse, it is difficult for a content provider to consider network situation and type of user terminal to provide multimedia contents. As one solution, transcoding techniques have been proposed, but those have much complexity. In this paper, in order to reduce computational complexity, we propose a fast mode decision using input modes, motion vectors, and residual energies which are obtained from input bitstream for 2:1 down-scaling spatial transcoding application. The proposed method reduces processing time in mode decision by restricting possible mode types based on input information. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves about 2.66 times improvement in encoding time compared to the normal encoding process while the PSNR is degraded by about 0.04dB, and bit-rate is increased by 1.6%.
