In the underwater acoustic systems. we can receive signals and retrieve information about a target by using a beamforming method. The most important thing in the beamforming is finding the way to optimize the mainlobe beamwidth and the sidelobe level to the desired value. One of the prominent results of beamforming method. which has been studied. is Philip's weighting function method(1) . Philip's method adaptively adjusts its weights of array to meet the desired mainlobe beamwidth and sidelobe level. It is very similar to the design method in adaptive filter. However. this method cannot easily bring us to the desired sidelobe level due to complementary relation between mainlobe beamwidth and sidelobe level. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm using partial constrained adaptation. This method makes us circumvent the above problem and meet the specification of design easily. The proposed algorithm presents a Pattern synthesis that designer can easily control the mainlobe beamwidth and the sidelobe level to the desired value while calculation time to converge is decreasing.

The EVRC (Enhanced Variable Rate Codec) is currently in service as a speech cosec in digital cellular systems in North America and Korea. In the EVRC, the LSP (Line Spectral Pairs) related to energy distribution of speech signals in the frequency domain are coded by weighted split vector quantization. Considering that the LSP codebooks might be trained with the language of the develop country of the codebooks or English, it is expected that codebooks trained with Korean provide the performance improvements in the communication in Korean. In this paper, the EVRC LSP codebooks are designed with korean adopting the LBG algorithm based vector quantization, and the performance improvement of the vector quantization and the accompanying speech quality improvement are demonstrated by spectral distortion, SNR and SegSNR measurements, respectively.

With the advent of the Smart information-communication era, the number of data has increased exponentially. Accordingly, figuring out and analyzing in which area and circumstance the data has been created becomes one of the factors for prompt actions. In this paper identifies how to analyze the data by implementing a route from the lowest module to highest one in an inverse order for the part judgement for the particular data. The script first identifies cluster analisys, paralizes the analysis using the sum of each factors of the cluster with the tree structure, and finally transpose the answer into number. Also, it is designed to place priority on particular answer, thereafter, draws the wanted answer real-time.

In this research, we developed an efficient real-time human exercise pose estimation system using multiple Kinects. The main objective of this system is to measure and recognize the user's posture (such as knee curl or lunge) more accurately by employing Kinects on the front and the sides. Especially it is designed as an extensible and modular method which enables to support various additional postures in the future. This system is configured as multiple clients and the Unity3D server. The client processes Kinect skeleton data and send to the server. The server performs the multiple-Kinect calibration process and then applies the pose estimation algorithm based on the Kinect-based posture recognition model using feature extractions and the weighted averaging of feature values for different Kinects. This paper presents the design and implementation of the human exercise pose estimation system using multiple Kinects and also describes how to build and execute an interactive Unity3D exergame.

This paper describes the design optimization of a rotating rectangular channel with staggered arrays of pin-fins by Kriging metamodeling technique. Two non-dimensional variables, the ratio of the height to the diameter of the pin-fins and the ratio of the spacing between the pin-fins to the diameter of the pin-fins are chosen as the design variables. The objective function that is a linear combination of heat transfer and friction loss related terms with a weighting factor is selected for the optimization. To construct the Kriging model, objective function values at 20 training points generated by Latin hypercube sampling are evaluated by a three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) analysis method with the SST turbulence model. The Kriging model predicts the objective function value that agrees well with the value calculated by the RANS analysis at the optimum point. The objective function is reduced by 11% by the optimization of the channel.

BLS adjustment methods have been able to provide more accurate estimates of total and make samples represent population characteristics by post-adjustment of design weights of samples. However, BLS methods use additional data, for instance number of employee, without this information or using other information, give different weight adjustment factors. In this paper we studied the sensitivity of the variables used in BLS adjustment. The 2007 monthly labor survey data is used in analysis.

The response surface method (RSM) is widely adopted for the structural reliability analysis because of its numerical efficiency. However, the RSM is still time consuming for large-scale applications and sometimes shows large errors in the calculation of sensitivity of reliability index with respect to random variables. Therefore, this study proposes a new RSM in which moving least squares (MLS) approximation is applied. Least squares approximation generally used in the common RSM gives equal weight to the coefficients of the response surface function (RSF). On the other hand, The MLS approximation gives higher weight to the experimental points closer to the design point, which yields the RSF more similar to the limit state at the design point. In the procedure of the proposed method, a linear RSF is constructed initially and then a quadratic RSF is formed using the axial experimental points selected from the reduced region where the design point is likely to exist. The RSF is updated successively by adding one more experimental point to the previously sampled experimental points. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, mathematical problems and ten-bar truss are considered as numerical examples. As a result, the proposed method shows better accuracy and computational efficiency than the common RSM.

최근에 발생하는 이상홍수로 인하여 설계규모를 초과하는 홍수가 발생하여 월류에 의한 제방붕괴 피해가 증가하고 있다. 초과규모의 홍수가 유하하더라도 월류에 의해서 제방이 붕괴되는 것과 붕괴되지 않고 단순히 월류하는 경우의 피해 정도는 매우 다른 양상으로 나타난다. 제방이 붕괴되는 경우, 제내지 유입량 및 유입기간의 증가로 인명 및 재산피해가 가중된다. 따라서 인구가 집중되고 재산이 밀집되어 있는 지역에 대해서는 제방붕괴에 의한 피해를 감소시키기 위한 특별한 대책이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기존 제방의 식생이 제방 월류 붕괴에 미치는 영향을 추정하기 위하여 수리실험을 수행하였다. 실험수로에 제작된 제방 뒷비탈에 인조식생을 부착시켜 유량에 따른 수심과 유속을 측정하였으며, 측정결과를 이용하여 조도계수를 산정하였다. 산정된 조도계수를 CIRIA(1987)의 보고서에 조도계수 산정 방법과 비교하고 분석하였다. 분석 결과, CIRIA(1987)에서 제시하고 있는 1V:2H제방의 조도계수 0.02보다 큰 값이 산정되었음을 알 수 있었다. 향후, 실제 식생에 대한 실험을 수행하여 흐름특성별 조도계수에 대한 추가적인 검토가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

In this paper, we propose a algorithm that apply different weight-sampling values according to the directions of the contour to reduce errors that can arise in extracting the feature of an contoured object. Especially, it 8is designed to have invariant property under the circumstances like the rotation, transition and scaling. The output matrix of feature set is made through the size function of the proposed algorithm, and the euclidean distance between the output matrix and that of the original image is calculated. Experimental result shows that the proposed algorithm reduces the euclidean distance between the original image and the changed image-by 57% in rotation and by 91% in scaling.

In an attempt to solve multiobjective optimization problems, weighted sum method is most widely used for the advantage that a designer can consider the relative significance of each object functions by weight values but it can be highly sensitive to weight vector and occasionally yield a deviated optimum from the relative weighting values designer designated because the multiobjective function has the form of simple sum of the product of the weighting values and the object functions in traditional approach. To search the design solution agree well to the designer's weighting values, we proposed new multiobjective function which was the functional of each normalized objective functions and considered to find the design solution comparing the distance between the characteristic line and the ideal optimum. In this study, proposed multiobjective function was applied to design high efficiency and low noise axial flow fan and the result shows this approach is effective for the case that the quality of the design can be highly affected by the designer's subjectiveness represented as weighting values in multiobjective design optimization process.
