This paper introduces a new method that controls a humanoid robot detecting a human motion using a Kinect sensor. Processing the output of a depth seneor of the Kinect sensor, we build a human stick model which represents each joint of human body. We detect a specific motion by calculating the distance and angle between joints. We send the control message to the robot using Bluetooth wireless communication.

This study aims to build basic data for a optimization of a ventilation system for indoor environment improvement in school building. To this end, we conducted field tests and computation fluid dynamics simulations about a indoor environment in dependence on operation of a ceiling type inverter air conditioner and ventilation system. The results could be summarized as follows. (1) For the ventilation system of 350CMH, 500CMH and 850CMH, reduction of each $CO_2$ concentration was measured 662ppm, 748ppm and 526ppm. (2) A optimal discharge angle of the ceiling type inverter air conditioner system was evaluated 45 degree in heating and cooling.

The paper focuses on the establishment of optimized bucket path planning and trajectory control designated for force-reflecting backhoe reacting to excavation environment, such as potential obstacles and ground characteristics. The developed path planning method can be used for precise bucket control, and more importantly for obstacle avoidance which is directly related to safety issues. The platform of this research was based on conventional papers regarding the kinematic model of excavator. Jacobian matrix was constructed to find optimal joint angles and rotation angles of bucket from position and orientation data of excavator. By applying Newton-Raphson method optimal joint angles and bucket orientation were derived simultaneously in the way of minimizing positional errors of excavator. The model presented in this paper was intended to function as a cornerstone to build complete and advanced path planning of excavator by implementing soil mechanics and further study of excavator dynamics together.

Recent advances in positioning and photogrammetry technologies have made it possible to build a mobile mapping system (MMS) that can obtain 3D coordinates of geographic objects from stereo images recorded from a moving vehicle. In this paper, we present a design and detailed implementation of an MMS called a 4S-Van. Furthermore, we present four issues that have made major contributions to the performance of an MMS: 1) CCD camera calibration, 2) GPS signal condition, 3) integrating a GPS, inertial navigation system (INS), distance measurement indicator (DMI), and CCD cameras, and 4) the orientation angle of CCD cameras. In the experimental results, the performance of an MMS was analyzed for each component, giving an idea of how to effectively design and integrate each component in developing an MMS to get a maximal accuracy of 3D coordinates.

Power quality is a term that is now extensively used in power systems applications, and in this context the voltage, current, and phase angle are discussed widely. In particular, different algorithms that are capable of detecting the voltage sag and swell information in a real time environment have been proposed and developed. Voltage sag and swell play an important role in determining the stability, quality, and operation of a power system. This paper presents ANFIS (Adaptive Network based Fuzzy Inference System) models with different membership functions to build the voltage shape with the knowledge of known system parameters, and detect voltage sag and swell accurately. The performance of each method has been compared with each other/other methods to determine the effectiveness of the different models, and the results are presented.

In this paper, a new on-line high-voltage motor monitoring system is proposed. This system monitors the insulation condition of the stator winding by on-line measurements of partial discharge (PD). And this system displays magnitude and phase angle distribution of PD. Sensor, CC (Ceramic Coupler) is used for PD measurement. PD signals are continuously measured and digitized with a A/D converter to build the database of the high-voltage motor's insulation condition. Also, this system can communicate with the central monitoring system via RS-232, 422, and TCP/IP. This helps more efficient operation and maintenance of the high-voltage motor.

The Acousto-Optic Tunable Filter (AOTF) is a high-speed full-field monochromator which generates two spectrally filtered light beams with ordinary and extraordinary polarization state. Thus, AOTF is widely used to build full-field spectral imaging system or spectral domain interferometer. However, AOTF has a big problem that the angle of diffracted light changes according to the scanning of wavelength, which makes image shift on CCD plane In this paper, we propose an analytic design of prism system to compensate the image shift. The detailed analysis of light paths in a prism and basic experimental results are presented to verify our proposed compensation method. The experimental results agree with simulation results based on suggested prism model and image shift is minimized at optimal condition. Also, it can be extended to compensate the image shift for ordinary and extraordinary polarized light simultaneously.

현재 반도체나 이동통신 분야는 사용자의 요구에 따라 PCB의 회로선폭이 갈수록 좁아지고 있다. 이러한 정밀 부품을 제조하기 위한 제조공정에서 각광받기 시작한 기술 중 하나가 대기압 플라즈마 기술이다. 본 연구에서는 미세패턴 형성이 가능한 에폭시 본딩 필름위에 무전해 도금공정을 통한 패턴 도금법을 이용하여 패턴을 형성하였고, 형성된 패턴에 대기압 플라즈마 처리 횟수에 따른 접촉각(Contact Angle)과 Peel Strength의 변화를 분석하였다. 또한 에폭시 본딩 필름을 이용한 Build-up공정을 거쳐 Micro Via를 형성하여 대기압 플라즈마 처리 횟수에 따른 Via 표면을 분석하였다. 대기압 플라즈마 기술은 진공식에 비해 소규모 장비를 이용한 전처리가 가능하고, 초기 설비비용을 절감하는데 탁월한 효과가 있어 널리 사용하는 기술 중 하나이다. 이 연구를 통하여 대기압 플라즈마 처리 횟수에 따른 표면에너지의 변화로 인한 접촉각이 좋아지는 것을 알 수 있으며, 대기압 플라즈마 처리를 한 패턴표면이 친수성으로 변하면서 현상된 드라이 필름 사이로 도금액이 원활히 공급되어서 미세패턴 모양이 우수하게 구현되었음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 Via Filling에도 뛰어난 효과가 있었음을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presents a method that estimates face pose for a given face image and synthesizes any posed face images using Active Appearance Model(AAM). The AAM that having been successfully applied to various applications is an example-based learning model and learns the variations of training examples. However, with a single model, it is difficult to handle large pose variations of face images. This paper proposes to build a model covering only a small range of angle for each pose. Then, with a proper model for a given face image, we can achieve accurate pose estimation and synthesis. In case of the model used for pose estimation was not trained with the angle to synthesize, we solve this problem by training the linear relationship between the models in advance. In the experiments on Yale B public face database, we present the accurate pose estimation and pose synthesis results. For our face database having large pose variations, we demonstrate successful frontal pose synthesis results.

Objective : To understand the anatomic characteristics of the aortic arch (AA) and its major branches to build a foundation toward performing endovascular surgery safely. Methods : A total of 25 formalin fixed Korean adult cadavers were used. The authors investigated : anatomical variations of the AA and its major branches; curvature of the AA; distance from the mid-vertebrae line to the origin of the major branches; distances from the origin of the major branches of AA to the origin of its distal branches; and the angle of the three major branches, the brachiocephalic trunk (BCT), the left common carotid artery (LCCA) and the left subclavian artery (LSCA) arising from AA. Results : The three major branches directly originated from AA in 21 (84%) of the cadavers. In two (8%) of remaining four cadavers. orifice of LCCA was slightly above the stem of BCT. In remaining two (8%) cadavers, the left vertebral artery (LVA) was directly originated from AA. Average angle of AA curvature to the coronal plane was 62.2 degrees. BCT originated 0.92 mm on the right of the mid-vertebrae line. LCCA and LSCA originated from 12.3 mm and 22.8 mm on the left of the mid-vertebrae line. Mean distance from the origin of the BCT to the origin of the RCCA was 32.5 mm. Mean distance from the origin of the LSCA to the origin of the LVA was 33.8 mm. Average angles at which the major branches arise from the AA were 65.3, 46.9 and 63.8 degrees. Conclusion : This study may provides a basic anatomical information to catheterize AA and its branches for safely performing endovascular surgery.
