Effects of cavitation and hydraulic flip in circular and elliptical nozzles on the flow characteristics have been studied. Spray tests were conducted using injectors with different ratios of an orifice length(L) to a diameter(d) and of a major axis diameter(a) to a minor axis diameter(b). With the increment of an injection pressure drop, discharge coefficients slightly decreased in cavitation flows, and those suddenly dropped and were almost constant in hydraulic flip flows. For elliptical nozzles with L/b > 8 and L/a < 8, discharge coefficients and flow patterns showed different results from those in previous circular nozzles. When a flow in the elliptical nozzle was under steady condition, as the liquid column went downstream from the nozzle, its spray angle a little decreased in the plane of a major axis and increased in the plane of a minor axis.

Earlier research works focused on the seasonal patterns and bio-geochemical processes in sand dunes, and the satellite data and aerial photographs have been used only as a backdrop or for the multi-temporal delineation of sand dune area. In order to find the optimal way to extract features' characteristics, Gimnyeong sand dune area was selected as a study site. Field works have been carried out three times to collect ground control points and sand samples for laboratory analyses. The texture of sand dune is classified as fine sand, which has been derived from shell fragments. The sand dune penetrated into the island from northwest to southeast direction. An aerial photograph was re-sampled into one-meter resolution and rectified with software including Erdas Imagine and ENVI. Sub-scenes were chosen as samples for sand dune, urban area and rural area. K-group non-parametric analysis had been done for the geometric and spectral values of enclosed texture patches. Urban areas proved to have significant smaller patches than the others.

A barrel is a high length-to-diameter ratio cylinder that is influenced by environmental factors such as sunlight, precipitation, wind and clouds. Cross-barrel temperature differences caused by uneven heating or cooling lead to thermal deformation that degrades accuracy. Therefore, a barrel is covered by thermal shrouds to minimize the type of thermal deformation, "fall-of-shot". In this paper, an analytical and experimental study is presented to design the thermal shrouds for a gun barrel and to evaluate the thermal shroud effect. First, an analytical study on the thermal shroud effect to minimize thermal deformation of a gun barrel by sunlight and wind is performed. The coupled analysis of thermal fluid dynamics of the air flow between a barrel and thermal shrouds and thermal stresses of a barrel Is performed to clarify both the thermal shroud effect and the drift in gun muzzle orientation by thermal deformation. Second, experiments are carried out to test and evaluate the thermal shroud effect on the performance of a gun barrel. The drift in gun muzzle orientation against the solar radiation is confirmed by the experiments, and the results well agree with the analytical estimation. Third, three principal design factors that are presumed to have an effect on the performance of the thermal shrouds are also analyzed; sorts of shroud materials, wall-thickness of thermal shrouds, and distance of the gap between a barrel and thermal shrouds.

The current geometric and vector textbooks focus on the mechanical activities of finding focus, corner, etc. through elliptic equations. In this paper, we propose a process in which analogy and analytical methods are used in reversible activities of focusing from a given elliptic graph without a coordinate plane. The exploratory tool was used as Geogebra. At first, students tried to find the focus of the ellipse by randomly constructing the major a is and the minor a is in the given ellipse. However, we have experienced a method of constructing the circle of symmetry and analyzed this principle and deduced it to the ellipse. As a result, we could construct the center, long a is and short a is of the ellipse. Then, using the analytical method, the focus formula was recognized as the Pythagorean theorem, and the ellipse's focus was constructed by using the original drawing. Therefore, it is confirmed that analogy and analytical method can positively affect the elliptical focus.

Purpose : Accurate measurement of defect size is important in transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (ASD). We performed this study to analyze the difference between the measured ASD size and balloon occlusive diameter (BOD) by transthoracic (TTE) or transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Methods : We investigated 78 patients who underwent transcatheter closure of ASD. The defect size and the distance between the surrounding structures were measured by TTE and TEE. The BOD was measured by TEE during cardiac catheterization. Clinical characteristics and echocardiographic data were compared and analyzed. Results : The difference between BOD and diameter by TTE was $4.8{\pm}3.6mm$ on short axis view, $5.4{\pm}3.2mm$ on long axis view. The difference between BOD and diameter by TEE was $3.6{\pm}2.2mm$ on short axis view, $4.2{\pm}3.1mm$ on long axis view. The difference between BOD and the diameter of defects on TTE, TEE had statistically significant positive correlations with the age of the patients, distance between the, defect and posterior atrial septal wall, the distance between the defect and the mitral valve leaflet, and the diameter of defects and the length of the atrial septum on TTE (P<0.05). Conclusion : BOD of ASD can be estimated by the diameter on TTE and TEE. BOD is expected to measure larger, depending on the size of defects, the distance from surrounding structures and the location of defects on echocardiography. Our data offers important information on details of transcatheter ASD closure which can be helpful in predicting suitability and judging the procedural appropriateness during the procedure.

We constructed a class Ⅳ Flextensional transducer, and analyzed the effects of the variation in its material properties and structure on the resonance frequency of the transducer. We used the FEM for the analysis. Major axis length, minor axis length, thickness and material properties of the shell turned out to have large effects, while volume of the insert material, material properties and thickness of the ceramic bar have little. Thickness of the nodal-plate has no effect on the resonance frequency. Results of the present work can be utilized to design Class W Flextensional transducers of various resonance frequency.

This paper presents a study of the elastohydrodynamic lubrication of elliptical contacts where lubricant entrainment coincides with the major axis of the Hertzian contact ellipse. A finite difference method and the Newton-Raphson method are applied to analyze the problem. Film contours and pressure distributions are compared with the results for lubricant entrainment coincides with the minor axis. Variations of the minimum and central film thicknesses with the radius ratio are also examined. The results showed that the present numerical scheme can be used generally in the analysis of the EHL of elliptical contacts where the lubricant entraining vector did not coincide with either of the principal axis of the conjunction.

본 논문에서는 뉴스 비디오의 정지 영상에서 뉴스 자막과 배경 문자를 추출하기 위한 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 일차적으로 입력 컬러 영상을 그레이 영상으로 변환한 후 입력 영상의 명암 대비를 강화시키기 위해 명암 대비 스트레칭을 적용한다. 이후 명암 대비 스트레칭된 영상의 분할을 위해 적응적 임계값을 적용하고 다음 단계에서 문자와 유사한 영역들을 적당한 크기 의 structuring element를 이용하여 제거하는 1차 하부 단계와 모폴로지 녹임(erosion)을 적용한 영상과 모폴로지(열림닫힘[OpenClose]+닫힘열림[CloseOpen])/2가 적용된 영상 사이의 차이 영상을 구하는 2차 하부 단계를 적용시킨다. 마지막 단계에서 각 후보 영역들 중 실제 자막 영역을 추출해내기 위해, 후보 문자 영역의 화소수 비율과 외곽선의 화소수의 비율, 그리고 장축과 단축간의 비율 등에 대해 필터링을 적용한다. 본 논문에서는 임의의 300개의 뉴스영상을 입력 값으로 실험한 결과 93.6%의 우수한 인식률을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 본 논문에서 제안한 방법은 structuring element의 크기 조절을 통해 크기가 다른 다양한 이미지에서도 좋은 성능을 거둘 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 입력된 영상을 구성하는 객체의 형태 특징을 이용한 영상 검색 시스템을 제안한다. 현재 MPEG-7의 XM에서 제안된 영상 검색 기술은 정확한 검색이나 유사도를 측정한 수 있는 기능을 가지는 객체정보를 정확하게 추출했다는 가정하에서 기술되고 있다. 그러나 실제 영상에서 물체의 외곽선을 정확히 추출하는 것은 매우 어려우며 물체 내부에 중요한 특징이 있을 때 이를 표현하기도 어렵다. 따라서 현재의 영상 검색 시스템에서는 물체의 추출 없이 물체 외곽선 및 내부 특징에 대한 대략적인 정보를 이용하여 검색을 할 수 있는 형태 위주의 정보가 필요하다. 이를 위해 8방향 chain code를 이용하여 입력 영상으로부터 물체의 중요한 특징 중 하나인 물체의 내부 외부의 경계선을 추출하여 영상의 특징으로 이용한다. 이렇게 함으로써 기존의 물체 추출의 과정없이 형태에 대한 영상 검색을 수행한 수 있다. 형태특징을 얻기 위해서 먼저 체인코드를 이용하여 경계선 추출을 추출하였다. 형태특징으로 객체의 경계선과 무게중심까지의 합, 표준편차 그리고 객체의 장축과 단축 비율 등을 추출하였다. 이러한 형태특징 정보를 이용하여 데이터 베이스에 저장된 영상과 질의 영상을 비교하여 유사도 순위에 따라 후보 영상들을 검색하였다. 환 실험의 결과 크기, 회전 이동 등의 변화에 둔감하였다.
