Resistance welding processes are widely used in automotive applications. In particular, Mash-Seam resistance welding is typically used in Tailored Blank process. If spot welds are changed to a continuous weld, it's easy to reduce noise and to be more stable in cars. A arc welding, laser welding, seam welding using wheel electrode are available to make continuous welds on a car body, but they demand operator with advanced skills and expensive cost to develop. Therefore, flat electrode continuous mash-seam resistance welding process has been used to improve the weak points in currently available system in lap seam welding. This developed process has much more strength and air tightability, and also has much better plastic workability than laser welding. Moreover, commercial RSW machine can be readily used in this welding process.

영상 스티칭은 다수의 영상을 넓은 시야각을 갖는 하나의 영상으로 합성하여 사용자들에게 몰입감과 현장감을 제공하는 기술이다. 그러나 영상에 시차(Parallax)가 존재하는 경우 스티칭된 영상에서 왜곡이 발생할 수 있는데 이는 사용자의 몰입을 방해할 수 있다. 따라서 스티칭 영상의 다양한 활용을 위해서는 시차로 인한 왜곡을 최소화하여 자연스러운 스티칭 영상을 만드는 것이 중요하다. 기존 호모그래피 추정 방법으로 발생할 수 있는 고스트 현상을 최소화하기 위해서 seam 기반 스티칭 방법이 사용되었지만, 단순히 작은 특징값을 따라 생성된 seam은 사물 영역 정보가 반영되지 않아 seam이 특징이 있는 부분을 지나가면서 시차 왜곡이 발생할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 딥러닝 기반의 MegaDepth를 활용한 depth 예측 정보를 에너지 함수 기반의 seam 생성 행렬의 가중치로 사용하여 seam이 사물을 피해 생성되면서 시차가 작은 영역으로 유도되도록 하는 seam optimization 기법을 제안한다.

A seam-line determination algorithm is proposed to determine image border-line in mosaicing using the transformation of gray value differences and dynamic programming. Since visually good border-line is the one along which pixel differences are as small as possible, it can be determined in association with an optimal path finding algorithm. A well-known effective optimal path finding algorithm is the Dynamic Programming (DP). Direct application of the dynamic programming to the seam-line determination causes the distance effect, in which seam-line is affected by its length as well as the gray value difference. In this paper, an adaptive cost transform algorithm with which the distance effect is suppressed is proposed in order to utilize the dynamic programming on the transformed pixel difference space. Also, a figure of merit which is the summation of fixed number of the biggest pixel difference on the seam-line (SFBPD) is suggested as an evaluation measure of seamlines. The performance of the proposed algorithm has been tested in both quantitively and visually on various kinds of images.

This paper examined the garment formability and appearance of perspiration absorption, fast dry, and breathable fabrics. The mechanical properties and seam pucker properties of these fabrics were measured and regression analysis was conducted between fabric structural parameters and their mechanical and seam pucker properties. The superior total appearance value (TAV) of fast dry knitted fabrics for sports-wear was achieved in fabrics with high extensibility and bending rigidity; consequently, it increased with increasing stitch density and tightness factor. The formability of the fast dry knitted fabric also improved with an increasing stitch density and tightness factor. The seam pucker was influenced by bending rigidity and a good seam pucker was exhibited in the fast dry knitted fabrics with low stitch density and tightness factor. However, the formability (F) of the breathable fabric improved by increasing extensibility and bending rigidity that decreased with an increasing cover factor and the thickness of the breathable fabric. In addition, seam pucker deteriorated with an increasing cover factor and the thickness of the breathable fabric, which was similar to the results of the formability predicted in fabric mechanical properties. A superior seam pucker was achieved in fabrics with high extensibility and low bending rigidity.

In this paper, a new real time video scaling technique which preserved the contents of a movie was proposed. Because in a movie a correlation exists between consecutive frames, in this paper by determining the seam of the current frame considering the seam of the previous frame, it was proposed the real time video scaling technique without the shaking phenomenon of the contents even though the entire video is not analyzed. For this purpose, frames which have similar features in a movie are classified into a scene, and the first frame of a scene is resized by the seam carving at the static images so that it can preserve the contents of the image to the utmost. At this time, the information about the seam extracted to convert the image size is saved, and the sizes of the next frames are controlled with reference to the seam information stored in the previous frame by each frame. The proposed algorithm has the fast processing speed of the extent of being similar to a bilinear method and preserves the main content of an image to the utmost at the same time. Also because the memory usage is remarkably small compared with the existing seam carving method, the proposed algorithm is usable in the mobile terminal in which there are many memory restrictions. Computer simulation results indicate that the proposed technique provides better objective performance and subjective image quality about the real time processing and shaking phenomenon removal and contents conservation than conventional algorithms.

The sand layer deposited in clay is called a sand seam, which is formed by inflow of sands due to river flooding or slope failure in the middle of sinking and sediment of clay. When the sand seam exists in clay layer, the drainage direction changes from one way to both ways, and the time of consolidation may be reduced. However, it is not clearly proved due to lack of studies of sand seam and currently is not reflected in the design of soft soil improvement. As a fundamental study about sand seam, the oedometer tests and constant rate of strain tests with Rowe cell were conducted on clay specimens with sand seam. For tests, a frozen method was specially designed for making the sand seam. It was concluded that the test results showed the sand seam affects the coefficient of consolidation of clay. If the thickness of sand seam exceeds 0.05 times of specimen height, the sand seam works as drainage layer of pore water horizontally as well as vertically, and consequently the consolidation is accelerated.

Fatigue life at seam weldment of thick plate was estimated using the finite element and FEM-FAT(an exclusive fatigue solver). Finite element meshing at toe and root of weldment was based oil Radaj's theory. Also, the results of FE analysis were compared with experimental results in the point of Miner's Rule. The results of FE and FEM-FAT analysis were in accord with experimental results within 60% confidence. This result reveals that above techniques is useful in assessment of seam weldment and to be an alternative method instead of an object experiment.
