PURPOSES: Recently, many local governments have applied chicanes for traffic calming to ensure environment-friendly comfortable and safe roads. However, the geometry of a chicane is designed for speed reduction using a curved portion. This study aims to improve the road geometry conditions of chicanes for reducing carbon emissions and maintaining appropriate driving speeds by considering the relationship between road geometry and carbon emissions. METHODS: This study was conducted as follows. First, carbon emissions corresponding to changing acceleration of vehicles were studied. Second, vehicle acceleration caused by the relationship between the curve radius and the straight length was studied. Accordingly, desirable conditions of curve radius and length of the straight section for reducing carbon emissions were proposed. RESULTS: The existing literature on chicanes present the minimum value of stagger length and path angle in the primary variable condition. This study suggests the maximum values of the curve radius and length of straight section in the primary variable condition. Therefore, if a vehicle's speed at a chicane is 30 km/h, this study suggests a curve radius of up to 24 m. In addition, if the vehicle's speed is 24 km/h, this study suggests a length of straight section of up to 6.6 m. These are the geometric conditions for considering the control of acceleration to the vehicle's maximum speed. CONCLUSIONS: This paper proposes an application of geometric conditions to reduce carbon emissions and maintain appropriate speeds of vehicles through a combination of curve radius and length of straight section.

Sealing of lubricat-air mixture in the high performance machining conte is one of most the important characteristics to carry out enhanced lubrication. High speed spindle requires non-contact type of sealing mechanism. Evaluating an optimum seal design to minimize leakage is concerned in the aspect of flow control. Effect of geometry and leakage path are evaluated according to variation of sealing geometry, Velocity, pressure, turbulence intensity of profile is calculated to fina more efficient geometry and variables. This offers a methodological way of enhancement seal design for high speed spindle. The working fluid is regarded as two phases that are mixed flow of oil phase and air phase. It is more reasonable to simulate an oil jet or oil mist type high speed spindle lubrication. Turbulence and compressible flow model are used to evaluate a flow characteristic, This paper arranges a geometry of mostly used non-contact type seal and analyzes leakage characteristics to minimize a leakage on the same sealing area.

The moving picture experts group (MPEG) developed the MPEG immersive video (MIV) standard for efficient compression of multiple immersive videos representing natural contents and computer graphics. The MIV compresses multiple immersive videos and generates multiple output videos which are defined as atlases. However, there is a synchronization issue of multiple decoders in a legacy device when decoding multiple encoded atlases. This paper proposes and implements the geometry packing method for adaptive control of decoder instances for low-end and high-end devices. The proposed method on the recent version of the MIV reference software worked correctly.

A thermal model based on the chamber geometry of the industry-standard AST SHS200MA rapid thermal processing system has been developed for the study of thermal uniformity and process repeatability thermal model combines radiation energy transfer directly from the tungsten-halogen lamps and the steady-state thermal conducting equations. Because of the difficulties of solving partial differential equation, calculation of wafer temperature was performed by using finite-difference approximation. The proposed thermal model was verified via titanium silicidation experiments. As a result, we can conclude that the thermal model show good estimation of wafer surface temperature distribution.

In this paper we deal with visual servoing that can control a robot arm with a camera using information of images only, without estimating 3D position and rotation of the robot arm. Here it is assumed that the robot arm is calibrated and the camera is uncalibrated. We use a pinhole camera model as the camera one. The essential notion can be show, that is, epipolar geometry, epipole, epipolar equation, and epipolar constrain. These play an important role in designing visual servoing. For easy understanding of the proposed method we first show a design in case of the calibrated camera. The design is constructed by 4 steps and the directional motion of the robot arm is fixed only to a constant direction. This means that an estimated epipole denotes the direction, to which the robot arm translates in 3D space, on the image plane.

프리캐스트 세그멘탈 교량의 3차원적인 선형관리를 수행할 수 있는 S/W로서 GEOCON이 개발되었다. GEOCON은 기본적으로 제작장에서 세그멘트 제작관리를 통한 선형관리를 실시하고, 그 결과로서 자동적으로 계산되는 제작선형은 가설시 선형관리에 활용된다. 본 논문에서는 실제 현장에서 나타날 수 있는 검측오차등으로 인하여 수치계산상으로는 마치 정확한 선형관리가 이루어지는 것으로 나타날 수 있는 상황들을 방지하기 위해 GEOCON에서 채택하고 있는 기술적인 특징들에 대하여 논하고 있다. 또한 실제 현장적용을 통하여 GEOCON의 효용성을 검증하였다. GEOCON을 통하여 선형관리된 부산항 배후도로 현장은 총 길이 2109m의 프리캐스트 세그멘탈 교량구간을 포함하고 있으며 고임판의 사용없이 허용 관리치 내에서 매우 정확한 선형관리가 이루어졌다.

An inductor-capacitor-inductor (LCL) filter are widely adapted in grid-connected inverter applications. In this paper, the harmonic attenuations of the LCL filter are quantitatively analyzed, and then the design optimization of two inductance values, which are related on a cost and a size, is illustrated. Based on the design optimization, the LCL filter employing a Symmetric Geometry is proposed. Through the equivalent circuit analysis of the proposed LCL filter, the operating characteristics and validity are presented in detail. In addition, simple proportional-integral (PI) current controller suitable for the LCL Filter is designed to mitigate the resonance problem. From simulation results, it is seen that the proposed LCL filter and control method have a sufficient attenuation and stability for the high frequency distortions and load variations.

In this work, an effort is made to investigate the behavior of a chip, from its initial flow to its final breaking stage. The expression for chip flow in grooved tools is verified analytically using FEM. Cutting parameters like velocity and depth of cut have a profound influence on chip flow behavior. Chip curling increases and, for a given tool geometry, effectiveness of the groove increases with increasing depth of cut. The feasibility of tool design using FEM simulations is also demonstrated. Optimization of tool geometry results in better chip control.

Reported herein is the film morphology control of inkjet-printed 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS-pentacene) organic thin-film transistors for the improvement of their performance and of the device-to-device uniformity. The morphology of the inkjetted TIPS-pentacene films was significantly influenced by the bank geometry such as the bank shapes and confinement area for the channel region. A specific confinement size led to the formation of uniform TIPS-pentacene channel layers and better electrical properties, which suggests that the ink volume and the solid concentration of the organic-semiconductor solutions should be considered in designing the bank geometry.
