This paper proposes a new set of topological features (primitives) for use with a syntactic recognizer for high-accuracy recognition of printed alphanumeric characters. The recognition is accomplished on nine character groups, where each group has different combinations of four feature points. A skeleton enhancement eliminating isolated points and smoothing irregular points is developed. The tree automata processed in parallel enables the realization of high-recognition speeds and font-type independent recognition. The proposed character recognition system is tested for alphanumeric character fonts of dot matrix printer and plotter using IBM-PC/XT.

In this paper, robot endeffector tracking using sensory information from structured laser pattern diode, is described. In order to track robot endeffector robustly irrespective of translation, scaling and rotation of robot working tool, structured laser pattern is used as track feature. Structured laser patterns of crosshair, concentric circles, dot matrix, and parallel lines are illuminated to robot endeffector. Illuminated laser patterns are held invariently and coherently irrespective of various motions of robot endeffector. Extracting and tracking these invariant structured laser patterns as track feature, the whole system keeps tracking of the robot endeffector robustly and effectively provided that structured laser pattern is always assumed to aim at robot endeffector.

4족 반도체 원소 양자점들은 원소가 가지고 있는 반도체적 성질과, 양자점에서 나타나는 quantum confinements 적인 특성 때문에 전자재료나 광학적 분야, 특히 태양전지 분야에서 그 쓰임이 대두되고 있다. 이러한 4족 반도체 원소의 양자점들을 만들기 위한 여러 방법들이 시도되고 있는데, 그 중에서 특히 절연체 박막에 4족 반도체 원소의 양자점들을 만드는 방법에는 이온주입, PVD, 그리고 CVD 를 통한 multi-layer 증착후 열처리 과정을 반드시 포함하는 Stranski- krastanov 방법이 주로 사용되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 고체원소 이온주입이라는 방법을 통해 절연체 박막의 증착과 이온주입이 한 진공용기 내에서 연속공정으로 이루어 지면서, 별도의 열처리 과정 없이 결정화된 게르마늄 양자점을 만들어 보았다. 이는 (X-ray diffraction) XRD와 Raman spectroscopy로 결정화된 게르마늄을 확인할 수 있었으며, (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy)XPS 데이터로도 순수한 게르마늄이 표면에서 깊이 방향으로 약 $1,000\;{\AA}$ 만큼 게르마늄 양자점들이 만들어 짐을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로 (High resolution transmittance electron microscopy) HRTEM으로 그 양자점의 크기와 분포도 그리고 결정성을 알아 보았다.

최근 많은 분야에서 사용되고 있는 RF(Radio Frequency)를 이용하여 원거리에서 무선으로 소형전광판에 문자 데이터를 보낼 수 있도록 하여 손쉽게 문구를 바꿀 수 있는 광고용 전광판을 구현하였다. 구현된 전광판은 소프트웨어 부분과 하드웨어 부분으로 나누어서 살펴보면, 사용자로부터 전광판에 표시하려는 문장을 IBM PC에 입력 받아서 전광판으로 송신하도록 하는 윈도우용 프로그램과 전광판에 표시될 데이터를 무선으로 수신 받아서 전광판에 표시하도록 해주는 프로그램이 전광판에 사용되는 소프트웨어가 되겠다. IBM PC에서 전광판으로 데이터를 보내고 전광판에서 그 데이터를 받기 위해서 RF모듈을 사용하였고, 전광판에 수신된 데이터를 전광판에 표시하기 위해서 마이크로컨트롤러를 사용하였다. 구현된 전광판은 16×16크기의 도트 매트릭스를 각각 12개씩 사용하여 문자열 2줄을 표시할 수 있도록 제작하였다. 한 문자를 표현하는데 한 개의 도트매트릭스가 사용되므로 표시될 문자는 16×16도트에 맞는 문자 폰트를 가지며, 문자 폰트를 나타내는 방법은 완성형과 조합형이 있으나 프로그램을 간단히 하기 위해서 완성형을 사용하였다.

현재 활발한 연구가 진행중인 유전자 분석과 같은 분야에서는 유전자 염기 서열과 같은 대규모 서열 정보들에 대한 효과적인 분석기술을 요구하고 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 서열 정보들 사이의 유사도를 측정하고 분석하는 작업을 효과적으로 지원하기 위한 가시화 도구의 개발을 다룬다. 본 논문에서 사용하는 유사도 가시화 기법은 유전자 정보의 유사도 가시화를 위해 제안되었던 시각적 점-행렬 도면(Graphical Dot-Matrix Plots) 기법을 이용하는데, 이 시각적 점-행렬 도면 기법은 비교 대상이 되는 서열 정보의 크기가 커지면 효율적으로 가시화하기가 힘들다는 단점을 가진다. 본 논문은 시각적 점-행렬 도면 기법의 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 서열 정보 유사도 비교 결과를 화면의 해상도 내에서 표현할 수 있도록 데이터를 영역별로 분할하고 각 영역별 일치도를 이분 그래프(bipartite graph)의 최대 평면 일치(maximal planar matching)를 이용하여 결정하고 이를 하나의 화소(pixel)로 출력하는 기법을 제안한다.

The ration of payload to weight of industrial robot amounts form 1:10 to 1:30. Compared with man who have a ration of 3:1, it is very low. One of the goals for the next generation of robots will be a ration. This might be possible only by developing lightweight robots. When two-link flexible arm is rotated about an joint axis, transverse vibration may occur. In this paper, vibration dynamics of flexible arm is modeled by using Bernoulli-Euler beam theory and Lagrange equation. Using the fact that matrix $\dot{D}-2C$ is skew symmetric, new controllers which have a simplified structure with less computational burden is proposed by using Lyapunov stability theory. We propose deterministic and adaptive control laws for two link flexible arm, and the validity of the proposed control scheme is shown in computer simulation for two-link flexible arm.

In order to investigate an influence of carrier trap by quantum dots (QDs) on the solar parameters, in this study, the $p^+-QD-n/n^+$ solar cells with InAs/GaAs QD active layers are fabricated, and their characteristics are investigated and compared with those of a GaAs matrix solar cell (MSC). Two different types of QD structures, the Stranski-Krastanow (SK) QD and the quasi-monolayer (QML) QD, have been introduced for the QD solar cells, and the parameters (open-circuit voltage ($V_{OC}$), short-cirucuit current ($I_{SC}$), fill factor (FF), conversion efficiency (CE)) are determined from the current-voltage characteristic curves under a standard solar illumination (AM1.5). In SK-QSC, while FF of 80.0% is similar to that of MSC (80.3%), $V_{OC}$ and $J_{SC}$ are reduced by 0.03 V and $2.6mA/cm^2$, respectively. CE is lowered by 2.6% as results of reduced $V_{OC}$ and $J_{SC}$, which is due to a carrier trap into QDs. Though another alternative structure of QML-QD to be expected to relieve the carrier trap have been firstly tried for QSC in this study, it shows negative results contrary to our expectations.

Objective: The left and right sides of the brain has different roles. This study investigated the differences in cognitive driving ability between stroke survivors with damage to the left brain and right brain. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the driving cognitive ability of left and right hemispheric drivers following stroke. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: The Stroke Drivers' Screening Assessment (SDSA) from the UK was translated to the Korean Stroke Drivers' Screening Assessment (K-SDSA) to meet the specific traffic environments of Korea. The SDSA is composed of 4 tasks :1) a dot cancellation task that measures concentration and visuospatial abilities necessary for driving, 2) a directional matrix task to measure spatio-temporal executive function required for driving, 3) a compass matrix task to measure accurate direction determination ability required for driving, and 4) recognition of traffic signs and reasoning ability to understanding traffic situation. The SDSA assessment time is about 30 minutes. The K-SDSA was used to compare the cognitive driving abilities between 15 stroke survivors with left and 15 stroke survivors with right brain damage. Results: There were significant differences between the persons with stroke patients with left brain lesions (right hemiplegia) compared to the persons with stroke with right brain lesions (left hemiplegia) (p<0.05). It was found that the cognitive driving ability of those with right brain damage was lower than that of the group of left brain damage. Conclusions: This research investigated the driving cognitive ability of persons with stroke. The therapists can use this information as basis for the driving test and training purposes. It could also be used as a basis to understanding if the cognitive ability of not only stroke survivors but also those with brain damage is adequate to actually drive.

Water-soluble terpolymer of acrylamide, diacetone acrylamide, and acrylic acid was prepared by redox initiators in aqueous medium. One component photoresist was synthesized by reaction of terpolymer with 4-azidoaniline. By blending the aqueous acrylamide/diacetone acrylamide copolymer solution with bisazide, 4,4'-diazidostilbene -2,2'-disulfuric acid sodium salt, two component photoresist was prepared. The photosensitivity per azido group unit mole of one component photoresist was 4 times higher than that of two component photoresist. The dot-type pattern was successfully achieved with one component photoresist at low exposure energy, which is prospective to be used as black matrix negative photoresist.

This study is aimed to the numerical modeling of the surface plasmon-polariton excitation by a layer of active (electrically pumped) quantum dots embedded in a semiconductor, covered with a metal. It is shown that this excitation becomes much more efficient if the metal has a form of a thin (with thickness of several nanometers) film. The cause of this enhancement in comparison with a thick covering metal film is the partial surface plasmon-polariton localized at the metal-semiconductor interface penetration into air. In result the real part of the metal+air half-space effective dielectric function becomes closer (in absolute value) to the real part of the semiconductor dielectric function than in the case of a thick covering metal film. This leads to approaching the point of the surface plasmon-polariton resonance (where absolute values of these parts coincide) and, therefore, the enhancement of the surface plasmon-polariton excitation. The calculations were made for a particular example of InAs quantum dot layer embedded in GaAs matrix covered with an Au film. Its results indicate that for the 10 nm Au film the rate of this excitation becomes by 2.5 times, and for the 5 nm Au film - by 6-7 times larger than in the case of a thick (40 nm or more) Au film.
