This study is devoted to the detection of the 3-dimensional point obstacles on the plane by using accumulated scan line images. The proposed accumulating only one scan line allow to process image at real time. And the change of motion of the feature in image is small because of the short time between image frames, so it does not take much time to track features. To obtain recursive optimal obstacles position and robot motion along to the motion of camera, Kalman filter algorithm is used. After using Kalman filter in case of the fixed environment, 3-dimensional obstacles point map is obtained. The position and motion of moving obstacles can also be obtained by pre-segmentation. Finally, to solve the stereo ambiguity problem from multiple matches, the camera motion is actively used to discard mis-matched features. To get relative distance of obstacles from camera, parallel stereo camera setup is used. In order to evaluate the proposed algorithm, experiments are carried out by a small test vehicle.

The recent huge earthquake ground motion records in Japan result in the reconsideration of seismic design forces for nuclear power stations from the view point of seismological research. In addition, the seismic design force should be defined also from the view point of structural engineering. In this paper it is shown that one of the occurrence mechanisms of such large acceleration in recent seismic records (recorded in or near massive structures and not free-field ground motions) is due to the interaction between a massive building and its surrounding soil which induces amplification of local mode in the surface soil. Furthermore on-site investigation after earthquakes in the nuclear power stations reveals some damages of soil around the building (cracks, settlement and sand boiling). The influence of plastic behavior of soil is investigated in the context of interaction between the structure and the surrounding soil. Moreover the amplification property of the surface soil is investigated from the seismic records of the Suruga-gulf earthquake in 2009 and the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku earthquake in 2011. Two methods are introduced for the analysis of the non-stationary process of ground motions. It is shown that the non-stationary Fourier spectra can detect the temporal change of frequency contents of ground motions and the displacement profile integrated from its acceleration profile is useful to evaluate the seismic behavior of the building and the surrounding soil.

During stamping processes, the air trapped between sheet metal and the die cavity can be highly compressed and ultimately reduce the shape accuracy of formed panels. To prevent this problem, vent holes and passages are sometimes drilled into the based on expert experience and know-how. CAE can be also used for analyzing the air behavior in die cavity during stamping process, incorporating both elasto-plastic behavior of sheet metal and the fluid dynamic behavior of air. This study presents sheet metal forming simulation combined simultaneously with simulation of air behavior in the die cavity. There are three approaches in modeling of air behavior. One is a simple assumption of the bulk modulus having a constant pressure depending on volume change. The next is the use of the ideal gas law having uniform pressure and temperature in air domain. The third is FPM (Finite point method) having non-uniform pressure in air domain. This approach enables direct coupling of mechanical behavior of solid sheet metal and the fluid behavior of air in sheet metal forming simulation, and its result provides the first-hand idea for the location, size and number of the vent holes. In this study, commercial software, PAM-$STAMP^{TM}$ and PAM-$SAFE^{TM}$, were used.

It is the time-varying dissolved oxygen(DO) dynamics that requires controlling for maintaining the DO concentration in the aeration tank. Many linear controllers have thus been applied. Because of the nonlinearity of the oxygen transfer function together with the time-varying respiration rate, however, the linear controllers are found to poorly perform in many cases. To overcome this limitation, a number of advanced controlling techniques have been developed and applied. In this study, designed GA-PI Controller using genetic algorithm(GA). Genetic algorithms(GAs) are search algorithms based on the mechanics of natural selection and natural genetics. As result of computer simulation, GA-PI controller shows the better control performance especially under the condition of the continuously changing DO set-point. This result represents that GA-PI controller can be a good measure to control the DO concentration in the SBR process which requires the sequential DO set-point change to accomplish the nitrification and denitrification in a single reactor.

The public has only a superficial understanding of the computer games, in spite of it's psychological effects and social results. Therefore, in this study, one finds out the serious approach which leads the computer games to recognize its future in terms of new media. Stand-point from Freud to french post-structuralist, it helps the introduction to understand the computer games as a kind of contents in which we are able to observe psychological process. As a result, there are studies about the structure of the dream, the desire, and the language which allow to mention 'parmakon' ; 'difference' between self and object, it provokes the psychological dynamism and so on, the playing the game remains a real trace and change, at the level not only of our psyche but also of our body.

Micellization process of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) was studied by using the aromatic probe (benzene) which dissolved in aqueous DTAB solutions. Proton NMR chemical shift measurements of DTAB and DTAB-benzene system showed that benzene molecules solubilized near the micelle-water interface and that the solubilization sites within the micelles are different as the DTAB concentration is passing through 32.0 mM (hereafter we refer this concentration as the second CMC). The change of solubilization sites is also confirmed by abrupt changes of the chemical shifts and relaxation rates of benzene protons in DATB-benzene system at this concentration. It was revealed from the electrical conductivity and viscosity measurements that the solubilization of benzene caused the DTAB micelles to swell out and that the micelles prepared after the second CMC had a greater swelling effect than those prepared before the second CMC. The transition point which reflects the saturation of benzene molecules on the solubilization sites of micelles was observed at one benzene/micellized DTAB mole ratio from the electrical conductivity measurements. Along the different concentration of DTAB solution, this transition point is appeared clearly after the second CMC. From these results it is suggested that the shapes and/or sizes of DTAB micelles of the spherical micelle region prepared after the second CMC are different from those prepared before the second CMC.

Supercritical injection behavior of liquid hydrocarbon compounds, which are used as main components of propellant fuel, was analyzed. Decane and Methylcyclohexane (MCH) with different critical points were selected as experimental fluid and Shadowgraphy technique was used. Decane and MCH behave differently in the initial state under the subcritical condition. However, near the critical point, the enthalpy of evaporation became close to 0, so that phase change into supercritical fluid occurred, not vaporization process, and no breakup of both fluids occurred.

Paradigm shift in government services means the evolution to the service with active participation based on information technology. Opening public information proceeds to an extent that private sector participation can be a basis and driving force, and extends to a stage that free and practical use is possible for private sector. Therefore, the government is preparing for legal and institutional foundation for various fields. The government needs to build open network from user-oriented point of view rather than provider-centric point of view, improve communication, and change the way of working due to the fact that flexible and rapid business process is required. It is time to prepare development plans for public the functions of platform-type government that public sector can participate in the role of government, create new value, and give rise to innovation in order to change the functionality of the government and meet the new needs of citizen. This study tries to analyze platform-type government and to study efficient role allocation for sharing resources including informant and system between the government and the private sector, focusing on innovation of public information sharing.

Recently, it is important to process multimedia data efficiently. Especially, in case of retrieval of multimedia information, technique of user interface and retrieval technique are necessary. This paper proposes a new technique which detects cuts effectively in compressed image information by MPEG. A cut is a turning point of scenes. The cut-detection is the basic work and the first-step for video indexing and retrieval. Existing methods have a weak point that they detect wrong cuts according to change of a screen such as fast motion of an object, movement of a camera and a flash. Because they compare between previous frame and present frame. The proposed technique detects shots at first using DC(Direct Current) coefficient of DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform). The database is composed of these detected shots. Features are extracted by HMMD color model and edge histogram descriptor(EHD) among the MPEG-7 visual descriptors. And detections are performed in sequence by the proposed matching technique. Through this experiments, an improved video segmentation system is implemented that it performs more quickly and precisely than existing techniques have.
