This study is intended to investigate the superyacht exterior design style from the viewpoint of marine architectural design. Especially it is focused on the exterior profile design of superyachts. Superyachts are passenger vessels whose hull exceeds 24m. They are a kind of luxurious leisure ships. Marine architectural designer can contribute in the field of exterior and interior design of superyachts. In this study we analyze outboard profile of 32 superyachts and extract key design elements of exterior profiles. Those are sheer line, stem line, bow line, house line and windows.

When checking the state of deterioration or damage structures, regular visual inspection has very important role. At this point, a visual inspection is performed mainly by sketch or photography with a camera of inspectors. If that happens, it takes a lot of effort and time to inspect appearance damages. The purpose of this study is to develop the automatic recognition system for a more efficient and effective inspection of appearance damages. In the process, the image processing technology and the data management & analysis system for damage recognition are mainly developed and applied. This automatic recognition system enables inspectors or clients to obtain correct data that can recognize a damage, such as, crack, water leakage, efflorescence, delamination (peeling), spalling, etc. In addition, this study takes aim at the effect of secure safety, functional maintenance and extension of design lifetime according to build up continuous and systematic data management system.

As a unify operational processes of the safety inspection for major national facilities, it is expected that the efficiency and professionalism of the project will be enhanced. Also it is being emphasized that the importance of visual inspection that initially find physical and functional defects in facilities. In this study, we developed an E-PAD-based condition evaluation system to check the safety of the facility to overcome the problems and limitations of the existing inspection method. This system consists of introduction, work list, visual inspection, defect table and so on. It is possible to download the inspection drawings at the site and input the damage information to the drawings and check the evaluation grade. In order to verify the E-PAD based condition evaluation system, the inspection data of 10 sample bridges were inputted into the system and the evaluation results were compared. As a result, it was confirmed that the safety grade calculated from the system and the existing safety grade are the same. The feasibility analysis of the AHP method also showed that the function increased by 10%, cost by 36%, and value by 30% compared to the existing method. Therefore, it is expected to contribute to systematic data and information analysis system for improvement of facility management.

This study was carried out to select the acceptance test influenced by some quality characteristics of rice, and may provide the basic information on rice grade of appearance quality as distinguished the numerical values. Forty-four Japonica rice varieties mainly cultivated in Korea were evaluated for a consumer acceptance test. Color preferences of rice were highly correlated with appearance quality (r=-0.897**) and redness (r=-0.893**). Especially, appearance quality value resulted from interaction of $redness{\times}yellowness$ values was expected as a specific character used for grade of rice appearance. Shape preferences of rice showed the positive correlation with grain width (r=0.527**) and grain size (r=0.454**). Result of the consumer acceptance test of rice appearance conducted through a cluster analysis revealed five groups. Our study suggests that it may be feasible to be graded by average of quality character among groups, grain width, and grain size in Duncan's multiple range test.

Purpose: Safety inspections by existing personnel have been limited in evaluation and data securing due to concerns about the safety of technicians or difficulty in accessing them, and are becoming a bigger problem as the number of maintenance targets increases due to the aging of facilities. As drone technology develops, it is possible to ensure the safety of personnel, secure visual data, and diagnose quickly, and use it is increasing as safety inspection of facilities by drones was introduced recently. In order to further enhance utilization, it is considered necessary to base a consideration standard for facility appearance investigation by drones, and in this paper, research was conducted on dams. Method: To calculate the quality, existing domestic safety inspection and drone-related consideration standards were investigated, and procedures related to safety inspection using drones were compared and analyzed to review work procedures and construction types. In addition, empirical data were collected through drone photography and elevation image production for the actual dam. Result: Work types for safety inspection of facilities using drones were derived, and empirical survey results were collected for two dams according to work types. The existing guidelines were applied for the adjustment ratios for each structural type and standard of the facility, and if a meteorological reference point survey was necessary, the unmanned aerial vehicle survey of the construction work standard was applied. Conclusion: The finer the GSD in appearance investigation using drones, the greater the number of photographs taken, and the concept of adjustment cost was applied as a correction to calculate the consideration standard. In addition, it was found that the problem of maximum GSD indicating limitations should be considered in order to maintain the safe distance.

Characteristic properties of fluorescent lamps operated by capacitively-coupled external electrodes have been investigated. External electrode fluorescent lamps(EEFLs) are typically operated at low currents less than 10 mA, and high voltages of about 1.5 kV. Luminance of up to 20,000 cd/$\textrm m^2$ with efficiency of above 40 lm/W is achieved in EEFLs driven by square pulses of the frequency lower than 100 kHz. It is also found that the brightness and efficiency of external electrode fluorescent lamps depend on the electrode length whose optimum length is about 3 cm.

Generally, the inspection is hard work and needs a lot of time. So, this work contains subjectivity of inspector owing to carry out the visual evaluations through naked eye. Thus, the result of inspection is not objective and reliable. The purpose of this study is to develop new inspection technique to solve above problems and to provide convenient inspection work. We make a new inspection system using digital image processing technology. This program can stitch each image and detect cracks of surface of concrete bridge. Also, It can extract an investigation drawing from the picture. Also, this program is a kind of management tools designed to have some functions such as converting the image data obtained from cameras to Data-Base format, searching and storing the data. At first, we try to make a automatic extracting program. But, changed by semiautomatic method because of various problems. Through field experiments, the application of this inspection system with specialty software has proven to be much faster, safer, and reliable than the inspections carried out by the naked eyes in managing safety of the bridges. The new inspection method may be able to make the inspection of bridge more efficient and reliable.

TFT-LCD(Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display)는 표시장치로서 실용화된 후 많은 상품에 적용중이다. 그러나, LCD는 자체 발광능력이 없으므로 그후면에서 LCD 화면을 밝혀주는 BLU(Backlight Unit)를 필요로 한다. BLU는 내부 광원으로 밝기가 균일한 평면광을 만들어 LCD 화면을 균일하게 면조사하는 역할을 한다. LCD가 적용되는 분야중 Note PC에는 광원으로 CCFL(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp)가 적용되어 왔지만, 최근 고휘도, 박형화, 저소비 전력을 달성하기 위해 CCFL로는 한계가 있어 LED(Light Emitting Diode)를 적용한 BLU를 제작하기 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 점광원인 LED 적용한 LED에 있어서 요구되는 휘도 균일성을 향상시키기 위해서는 LED광원이 적용된 BLU의 외관 품질 향상을 위한 도광판 입광부 구조 최적화를 광추적 Simulation을 통해 예측하고 향상시킬 수 있는 구조를 제안한다. Simulation결과, 외관품질 개선을 위해 도광판 입광면에 130도의 Serration과 휘도를 향상하기 위해 도광판 밑면에 렌즈 형상의 바 구조를 도출해 적용한 결과 외관품질향상과 휘도향상을 얻었다.
