Computer Automated Radioactive Particle Tracking (CARPT) technique has been successfully utilized to measure the velocity profiles and mixing parameters in different multiphase flow systems where a single radioactive tracer is used to track the tagged phase. However, many industrial processes use a wide range of particles with different physical properties where solid particles could vary in size, shape and density. For application in such systems, the capability of current single tracer CARPT can be advanced to track more than one particle simultaneously. Tracking multiple particles will thus enable to track the motion of particles of different size shape and density, determine segregation of particles and probing particle interactions. In this work, a newly developed Multiple Radioactive Particle Tracking technique (M-RPT) used to track two different radioactive tracers is demonstrated. The M-RPT electronics was developed that can differentiate between gamma counts obtained from the different radioactive tracers on the basis of their gamma energy peak. The M-RPT technique was validated by tracking two stationary and moving particles (Sc-46 and Co-60) simultaneously. Finally, M-RPT was successfully implemented to track two phases, solid and liquid, simultaneously in three phase slurry bubble column reactors.

In this paper a design procedure via computer-aided molding simulation is presented to optimize the air-trap locations in a speaker encloser of mobile phone. The molding flow simulation reveals that the race-tracking phenomenon is the dominant feature in the current mold design. In obtaining an optimal filling pattern, the local modifications of the wall thickness such as in a flow leader attachment are considered as the primary control factor, and both the gate position and the filling time become the secondary control factor. In the one-at-a-time approach, the last location to be filled in the mold cavity could be successfully moved to the extremities of the part, allowing a natural ventilation of entrapped air through the mold parting plane.

본 논문에서는 레이저 센서를 장착한 자율 이동 로봇을 이용하여 실내에서 장애물들을 검출한다. 데이터에서 나오는 패턴을 인식해 사람과 정적 장애물을 실시간으로 구분한 후 사람의 속도와 로봇의 속도를 각각 비교하여 따로 지정해준 안전거리를 유지하며 주행한다. 예상치 못한 상황이 발생될 것을 대비해 로봇의 전방에 범퍼 센서를 장착하여 안전성을 고려하였다. 로봇의 자기 위치 인식을 위해 StarGazer센서를 이용하였다. 패턴은 레이저 센서 데이터의 거리, 각 값을 이용하여 다리 패턴의 너비를 구하고 너비의 가운데 점을 중심점으로 지정해 추적하며 구동하는 알고리즘을 구현하였다.

Necessarily, it is required to analyze interfacial mechanism between tire and road for understanding tire wear, vehicle tracking and breaking. Therefore, there have been some efforts to measure 3-axis pressure and 2-axis displacement on tire road interface. But it was so hard to couple precisely measuring sensor and desired point on tire tread pattern block that it was impossible to analyze the mechanism on commercial tire with tread pattern. To overcome such a problem, a on-line measurement system is proposed in this paper. And an automatic control system is designed to test the tire with similar configuration of real vehicle driving.

Liquid sloshing displays the highly nonlinear free surface fluctuation when either the external excitation is of large amplitude or its frequency approaches natural sloshing frequencies. Naturally, the accurate tracking of time-varying free surface configuration becomes a key task for the reliable prediction of the sloshing time-history response. However, the numerical instability and dissipation may occur in the nonlinear sloshing analysis, particularly in the long-time beating simulation, when two simulation parameters, the relative time-increment parameter a and the fluid mesh pattern, are not elaborately chosen. This paper intends to examine the effects of these two parameters on the potential-based nonlinear finite element method introduced for the large amplitude sloshing flow.

Objective: The aim of this study is to classify between intentional and natural blinks in vision based eye tracking system. Through implementing the classification method, we expect that the great eye tracking method will be designed which will perform well both navigation and selection interactions. Background: Currently, eye tracking is widely used in order to increase immersion and interest of user by supporting natural user interface. Even though conventional eye tracking system is well focused on navigation interaction by tracking pupil movement, there is no breakthrough selection interaction method. Method: To determine classification threshold between intentional and natural blinks, we performed experiment by capturing eye images including intentional and natural blinks from 12 subjects. By analyzing successive eye images, two features such as eye closed duration and pupil size variation after eye open were collected. Then, the classification threshold was determined by performing SVM(Support Vector Machine) training. Results: Experimental results showed that the average detection accuracy of intentional blinks was 97.4% in wearable eye tracking system environments. Also, the detecting accuracy in non-wearable camera environment was 92.9% on the basis of the above used SVM classifier. Conclusion: By combining two features using SVM, we could implement the accurate selection interaction method in vision based eye tracking system. Application: The results of this research might help to improve efficiency and usability of vision based eye tracking method by supporting reliable selection interaction scheme.

This paper presents an EMG pattern classification method to identify motion commands for the control of the artificial arm by SOM-TVC(self organizing map - tracking Voronoi cell) based on neural network with a feature parameter. The eigenvalue is extracted as a feature parameter from the EMG signals and Voronoi cells is used to define each pattern boundary in the pattern recognition space. And a TVC algorithm is designed to track the movement of the Voronoi cell varying as the condition of additive noise. Results are presented to support the efficiency of the proposed SOM-TVC algorithm for EMG pattern recognition and compared with the conventional EDM and BPNN methods.

This paper presents the intelligent external noise analysis method for nonlinear maneuvering target. After recognizing maneuvering pattern of the target by the proposed method, we track the state of the target. The external noise can be divided into mere noise and acceleration using only the measurement. divided noise passes through the filtering step and acceleration is punched into dynamic model to compensate expected states. The acceleration is the most deterministic factor to the maneuvering. By dividing, approximating, and compensating the acceleration, we can reduce the tracking error effectively. We use the fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering as the method to divide external noise. FCM can separate the acceleration from the noise without criteria. It makes the criteria with the data made by measurement at every sampling time. So it can show the adaptive tracking result. The proposed method proceeds the tracking target simultaneously with the learning process. Thus it can apply to the online system. The proposed method shows the remarkable tracking result on the linear and nonlinear maneuvering. Finally, some examples are provided to show the feasibility of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper presents the MPPT tracking algorithm using angle control of flexible PV in BIPV. The proposed algorithm is based on MPPT tracking algorithm for curtain wall using flexible PV. It is an algorithm to find optimal power generation condition by controlling the angle of flexible PV using the air layer of window. The angle of flexible PV tests the power generation by separating the center of flexible PV into the interior angle in the interior direction and the external angle in the center of flexible PV. When the angle of flexible PV was used as interior angle, the generation amount was increased by 15.79% and increased by 8.45% compared with the external angle. MPPT tracking is performed on the generation amount of the interior angle which has the most power after comparing the generation amount according to the bending shape of the flexible PV. This algorithm can be the most efficient method for the curtain wall using flexible PV because the bending pattern with the greatest amount of power generation may be different because the environment of the building applying the curtain wall is different.
