This paper presents an optimization method to determine the shoulder height of an angular contact ball bearing by 3D contact analysis using nondimensional-shaped variables. The load analysis of the ball bearing is performed to calculate the internal load distributions and contact angles of each rolling element. From the results of bearing load analysis and the contact geometry between the ball and inner/outer raceway, 3D contact analyses using influence function are conducted. The nondimensional shoulder height and nondimensional load are defined to give the generalized results. The relationship between the shoulder height and radius of curvature of the shoulder under various loading conditions is investigated in order to propose a design method for the two design parameters. Using nondimensional parameters, the critical shoulder heights are optimized with loads, contact angles, and conformity ratios. We also develop contour maps of the critical shoulder height as functions of internal loads and contact angles for the different contact angles using nondimensional parameters. The results show that the dimensionless shoulder height increased as the contact angle and dimensionless load increased. Conversely, when the conformity ratio increased, the critical shoulder height decreased. Therefore, if the contact angle is reduced and the conformity ratio is increased within the allowable range, it will be an efficient design to reduce the shoulder height of ball bearings.

자기공명영상(이하 MRI)은 복부 영상에서 국소 병변의 감지와 특성을 찾을 수 있는 것 때문에 중요한 역할을 한다. 그러나 MRI 검사에 상대적으로 긴 검사 시간과 호흡 유지 기법에서 움직임 관리와 같은 몇 가지 힘든 요인이 있다. 최근에는 검사 시간을 줄이면서 적절한 이미지 품질을 유지하는 기법인 평행 이미징, 압축 감지(compressed sensing) 및 최첨단 딥 러닝(deep learning) 기술이 등장하여 문제 해결 전략을 가능하게 하고 있다. 또한, 역동적 조영증강 영상에서 자유 호흡 기법은, 추가 차원(extra-dimensional)-부피 보간 호흡 유지 검사(volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination) 및 황금 각도 방사형 희소 병렬(golden-angle radial sparse parallel), 간 가속 볼륨 획득(liver acceleration volume acquisition) 스타와 같은, 심한 호흡곤란이나 마취 중인 환자에게서 복부 MRI를 시행하는 것을 돕는다. 이 임상화보에서는 시간을 줄이면서도 이미지 품질을 유지하기 위한 다양한 고급 복부 MRI 기술과 역동적 영상을 위한 자유 호흡 기술을 제시하고 또한 이를 통한 예시들을 보여주고자 한다. 이러한 첨단 기법들의 고찰은 적용된 시퀀스의 적절한 해석에 도움을 줄 것이다.

Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) is a significant concern when designing slender structures with square cross sections. VIV strongly depends on structural dynamics and flow states, which depend on the conditions of the approaching flow and shape of a structure. Therefore, the effects of the angle of attack on the coupling effects of VIV for a square cylinder are expected to be significant in practice. In this study, the aerodynamic forces for a fixed and elastically mounted square cylinder were measured using wind pressure tests. Aerodynamic forces on the stationary cylinder are firstly discussed by comparisons of variation of statistical aerodynamic force and wind pressure coefficient with wind angle of attack. The coupling effect between the aerodynamic forces and the motion of the oscillating square cylinder by VIV is subsequently investigated in detail at typical wind angels of attack with occurrence of three typical flow regimes, i.e., leading-edge separation, separation bubble (reattachment), and attached flow. The coupling effect are illustrated by discussing the onset of VIV, characteristics of aerodynamic forces during VIV, and interaction between motion and aerodynamic forces. The results demonstrate that flow states can be classified based on final separation points or the occurrence of reattachment. These states significantly influence coupling effects of the oscillating cylinder. Vibration enhances vortex shedding, which creates strong fluctuations in aerodynamic forces. However, differences in the lock-in range, aerodynamic force, and interaction process for angles of attack smaller and larger than the critical angle of attack revealed noteworthy characteristics in the VIV of a square cylinder.

In nature, the swallowtail butterfly is known to be a versatile flyer using gliding and flapping efficiently. Furthermore, it has long tails on the hind-wing that may be associated with the enhancement of the gliding performance. In the present study, we investigate the aerodynamic property of swallowtail butterfly wing in gliding. We use an immersed boundary method and conduct a numerical simulation at the Reynolds numbers of 1,000 - 3,000 based on the free-stream velocity and the averaged chord length for seven different attack angles. As a result, we clearly identify the existence of the wing-tip and leading-edge vortices, and a pair of the streamwise vortices generated along the hind-wing tails. Interestingly, at the attack angle of $10^{\circ},$ hairpin vortices are generated above the center of the body and travel downstream.

In this paper, several optimizations are proposed to enhance the quality of lane detection algorithms in automotive applications. Considering the diagonal directions of lanes, the proposed limited Hough transform newly introduces image-splitting and angle-limiting schemes that relax the number of possible angles at the line voting process. In addition, unnecessary edges along the horizontal and vertical directions are pre-defined and removed during the edge detection procedures, increasing the detecting accuracy remarkably. Simulation results shows that the proposed lane recognition algorithm achieves an accuracy of more than 90% and a computing speed of 92 frame/sec, which are superior to the results from the previous algorithms.

For the improvement of the pump characteristics in the partial capacity range, it must be verified that the influence of the impeller design factor on the internal flows and the influence of the impeller internal flows on the pump characteristics. In this paper, in order to understand the influence of inlet angles on flow conditions and characteristics of a mixed flow pump, experiments were carried out for three kinds of impeller, which have the same outlet angle distributions and meridional section shapes. Results show that separation and stall in the partial capacity range can be controlled by the inlet angles. The relationship between the separation - stall at the impeller leading edge and the discharge flow conditions is clarified.

This paper describes the path planning method in an unknown environment for an autonomous mobile robot equipped with CCD(Charge-Coupled Device) camera. The mobile robot moves along the guideline. The CCD camera is used for the detection of the existence of a guideline. The wavelet transform is used to find the edge of guideline. It is possible for us to do image processing more easily and rapidly by using wavelet transform. We make a fuzzy control rule using image data as an input then determined the position and the navigation of the mobile robot. The center value of guideline is the input of fuzzy logic controller and the steering angle of the mobile robot is the fuzzy controller output. Some actual experiments show that the mobile robot effectively moves to target position by means of the applied fuzzy control.

This paper introduces an approach to detect motion areas of stationary objects when the camera slightly moves in the scene by computing optical flow. The flow field is computed by two pyramidal architectures of 5 levels which are built by down-sampling the size of the images by half at each level. Two pyramids of images are built and then optical flow is computed at each level. A warping process combines the information and generates a final flow field after applying edge smoothness and outliers reduction steps. Moreover, we convert the flow vectors in order of magnitude and angle to a color map using a pseudo-color palette. Experimental results in the Middlebury optical flow dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our method compared to other approaches.

New morphological positioning algorithm and inspection method are presented and compared with a method by means of the Hough transform. The positioning algorithm is the process of finding the center and the rotated angle of the surface mounted device (SMD). The inspection method is capable of detecting the location of broken or bent leads. In order to obtain the center and the orientation of the SMD rapidly, the Hough transform method utilizes feature points (concave points) and is executed on a DSP board. The proposed morphological method is implemented by using the morphological skeleton subsets, and an ultimate orientation is decided by the Hit-or-Miss transform (HMT). In the inspection process, two inspection methods also are presented. The first method utilizes the morphological methods, i.e., opening and closing. It is performed before the positioning process and called an initial inspection. The second method follows the positioning process and is performed by an inspection of intersections of rulers and the lead edge (or the skeleton). It is a ruling technique which is referred to as a detailed inspection. We find the morphological approach is preciser and faster than the Hough approach by the comparison of the proposed algorithms.
