This study focuses on the separation effect analysis of rainfall data for 2-parameter log-normal, 3-parameter log-normal, type-extreme value, 2-parameter gamma, 3-parameter gamma, log-Pearson type-III, and general extreme value distribution functions. Difference in the relationship between the mean and standard deviation of skewness for historical data and relations derived from 7 distribution functions are analyzed suing the Monte Carlo experiment. The results show that rainfall data has the separation effect for 6 distribution functions except 3-parameter gamma distribution function.

The Pulse Coupled Neural Network (PCNN) is a kind of neural network models that consists of spiking neurons and local connections. The PCNN was originally proposed as a model that can reproduce the synchronous phenomena of the neurons in the cat visual cortex. Recently, the PCNN has been applied to the various image processing applications, e.g., image segmentation, edge detection, pattern recognition, and so on. The method for the image matching using the PCNN had been proposed as one of the valuable applications of the PCNN. In this method, the Genetic Algorithm is applied to the PCNN parameter learning for the image matching. In this study, we propose the method of the similar image rating using the PCNN. In our method, the Genetic Algorithm based method is applied to the parameter learning of the PCNN. We show the performance of our method by simulations. From the simulation results, we evaluate the efficiency and the general versatility of our parameter learning method.

This paper proposes a new method of reducing the processing time and the size of consummimg memories in Hough transform. In this method, only the functional patterns are considered. The candidate points which are accumulated into the parameter space are computed in a many-to-one fashion and the parameter space is quantized dynamically to maintain a fine precision where it is needed. And a coarse-to-fine extraction method is used to reduce the processing time. The many-to-one fashional computation results in a relatively high-densed accumulation of candidate points around the parameter points corresponding to the image patterns in the image space. So, the dynamic quantization procedure can be simplified and the local maxima can be determined easily. And more effective reduction can be obtained as the dimension of parameter space is increased.

Profiles of naturally fractured surfaces of three sedimentary rock samples were plotted from the measured data using a mechanical profilometer. Fractal dimension of these profiles were computed and statistical F-test indicates that fractal dimension (FD) values can be used as a parameter for distinguishing the rock types. The comparison between FD values and a commonly used profile-roughness parameter called the Mayer's $Z_2$ parameter shows the superiority of the FD values as roughness estimator. Two-dimensional fractal roughness parameters of the same naturally fractured rock surfaces were also studied from their scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images at various magnification levels. The most suitable level of magnification of the SEM images for the study of the 2-D fractal roughness parameter was identified. The values of 2-D fractal roughness parameter for three different rocks were also compared using different methods of fractal dimensioning.

The shear strength of jointed rock is influenced by effective normal stress, joint wall compressive strength, joint roughness and so on. Since joint roughness makes considerable influences on shear strength of jointed rock, many studies tried to get quantitative joint roughness parameter. Until now, Joint Roughness Coefficient, JRC proposed by Barton has been prevalently used as a rock joint roughness parameter In spite of its disadvantages. In this study, a quantification of rock joint roughness is performed using surface roughness parameter, Rs. Proposed method is applied to rock core specimens, field joint surfaces, and JRC profiles. The scale of fluctuation is introduced to extend the suggested method to the large scale field joint surface roughness. Based on the quantification of joint surface roughness, joint shear tests are performed with the portable shear box. The relationship between joint surface roughness and joint shear strength is investigated and finally, a rock joint shear strength equation is derived from these results. The equation has considerable credibility and originality in that it is obtained from laboratory tests and expressed with quantified parameter.

In order to drive motor control system precisely, the motor is to be controlled by mmfs and current with sinusoidal waveforms. In this paper the Delta Modulation (DM) Technique is used for generating PWM pulse with sinusoidal waveform. However the motor currents yet contain odd harmonics due to leakage inductances, speed and exitation. To reduce harmonics, the parameter adaptive control method is introduced. That is, Req.C parameter of Delta Modulator is controlled adaptively by parameter adaptor. The adaptive signal is achieved by the difference between motor current and reference waveform, and this signal is converted to the voltage commend signal by adaptive mechanism. The test reslts show that this system is operated smoothly over a wide range of motor speed and motor current is controlled to be sinusoidal waveform adaptively.

In recent years, high-speed recording CD-R has already become the mainstream of CD-R market. Therefore, to promote the efficiency of recording CD-R is of significant importance. This study uses Taguchi's parameter design to improve the yield rate for the process of CD-R substrate. We have found 13 three-level controllable factors from the fishbone diagram, repeated 10 times the experiment with the L27(313) orthogonal array, and measured seven quality characteristics. We employ four general methods to find the optimal parameter conditions individually. Then, we perform the confirmation experiment and compare the results. Finally, we obtain the optimal parameter conditions. According to the analysis of benefits, the optimal parameter conditions can reduce the quality loss of CD-R substrate to about 21%. In the future, the results can be extended to other research of DVD-R substrate.

We propose an alternative procedure to select penalty parameter in $L_1$ penalized robust regression. This procedure is based on marginalization of prior distribution over the penalty parameter. Thus, resulting objective function does not include the penalty parameter due to marginalizing it out. In addition, its estimating algorithm automatically chooses a penalty parameter using the previous estimate of regression coefficients. The proposed approach bypasses cross validation as well as saves computing time. Variable-wise penalization also performs best in prediction and variable selection perspectives. Numerical studies using simulation data demonstrate the performance of our proposals. The proposed methods are applied to Boston housing data. Through simulation study and real data application we demonstrate that our proposals are competitive to or much better than cross-validation in prediction, variable selection, and computing time perspectives.

Pneumatic cylinders are classified into rod-type pneumatic cylinders and rodless pneumatic cylinders depending on the presence of the rod. Rodless cylinders have a constant area and have no deflection. Rodless cylinders are widely used in automatic systems requiring high-speed performance and high-precision transportation. However, the research of the pneumatic cylinder has been focused on the structure and life characteristics. In this research, aging characteristics and shape parameter analysis which are related to the lifetime were investigated. By conducting the lifetime tests with two different materials for the transfer plate, the failure mode and lifetime characteristics were analyzed. By the Anderson-Darling (A-D) verification based on the complete data set, the analysis results of lifetime distribution, shape parameter, and scale parameter were provided.

The method for extracting the SPICE model parameter of Schottky diode under DC forward bias is proposed. A method for improving the accuracy of the SPICE model parameter at various temperatures is proposed. Three analysis steps according to the magnitude of the current is used in order to extract the parameters effectively. At each analysis step, initial parameters are calculated by using the current-voltage equations and the Levenberg-Marquardt analysis is proceeded. To verify the validity of the proposed method, the SPICE model parameters for the BAT45 and FSV1045 under DC forward bias is extracted. Schottky diode currents obtained from the proposed method shows the average relative error of 6.1% and 9% compared with the measured data for the BAT45 and FSV1045 sample at various temperatures.
