A CCD camera with a laser stripe was applied to realize the automatic weld seam tracking in GMAW. It takes relatively long time to process image on-line control using the basic Hough transformation, but it has a tendency of robustness over the noises such as spatter and arc tight. For this reason, it was complemented with adaptive Hough transformation to have an on-line processing ability for scanning specific weld points. The adaptive Hough transformation was used to extract laser stripes and to obtain specific weld points. The 3-dimensional information obtained from the vision system made it possible to generate the weld torch path and to obtain the information such as width and depth of weld line. In this study, a neural network based on the generalized delta rule algorithm was adapted for the process control of GMA, such as welding speed, arc voltage and wire feeding speed.

The refinement of microstructure and phase transformation near the interface of pure copper/carbon steel dissimilar metals joints with various friction welding parameters have been studied in this paper. The microstructure of copper and carbon steel joints were changed to be a finer grain compared to those of the base metals due to the frictional heat and plastic deformation. The microstructure of copper side experienced wide range of deformed region from the weld interface and divided into very fine equaxied grains and elongated grains. Especially, the microstructures near the interface on carbon steel were transformed from ferrite and pearlite dual structure to fine ferrite, grain boundary pearlite and martensite due to the welding thermal cycle and rapid cooling rate after welding. These microstructures were varied with each friction welding parameters. The recrystallization on copper side is reason for softening in copper side and martensite transformation could explain the remarkable hardening region in carbon steel side.

In this study, the effect of milling time on the microstructure and phase transformation behaviors of Ni-12 wt.%B powders was investigated using vibratory ball milling process. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the phase transformation of mixed Ni-B elemental powder occurred after 50 hours of milling, with a formation of nickel boride phases. Through the study of microstructures in mechanical alloying process, it was considered that ball milling strongly accelerates solid-state diffusions of the Ni and B atoms during mechanical alloying process. The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that most of B atoms in the powder were linked to Ni with a formation of nickel boride phases after 200 hours of milling. It was finally concluded that mechanical alloying using ball milling process is feasible to synthesize fine and uniform nickel boride powders.

We investigated chemical-wounding effect on Agrobacterium-mediated Chinese cabbage transformation via vacuum infiltration. Pre-germinated or germinating Chinese cabbage seeds were infiltrated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 cells carrying either GUS gene (pBI121) or hepatitis B virus surface antigen DNA (pBIHBsAg). Prior to agroinfiltration process, the seeds were soaked in sodium hydrosulfite (SHS) solution or just in sterile water as a control. Comparative transformation efficiency was determined by both of histochemistry and ELISA. We could demonstrate that SHS solution treatment especially to 1-day or 2-days old germinating seeds efficiently improved transformation process, and therefore, transient expression level. This strongly indicated that Agrobacterium infection could be facilitated indeed by SHS-causing wounds on Chinese cabbage seeds.

Property of insulation of electric machine is severely affected by process of electrical tree growing. Partial discharges(PD) have been used to determine degradation of insulations. In this paper, PD quantities detected and analyzed are PD magnitudes, repetition rates, phase angle distribution of PD pulses, and wavelet transformation. The wavelet transformation is an extended method of fourier transformation. The fourier transformation is a powerful tool for signal analysis, but it can't include informations for time. However the wavelet transformation analysis can include on the informations of time and frequencies at the same time. This paper discusses correlation between process of electrical tree growing and characteristics of PD in LDPE specimens.

E-business is one of business innovations to get competitive advantage over other competing companies by utilizing information technology which can make to enhance the efficiencies and effectiveness through connecting one or several value activities. E-transformation is the process of business innovation to trans brick and motor companies to brick and click companies to accomodate e-business environments by means of digitalizing business strategy, business system, business process, and company cultures. In this results, the company can develop entirely new value chain of business and render enhanced services to customers. In this paper, I will represent several e-transformation evaluation models which are used to realize e-transformation(trans from brick and motor companies to brick and click companies). Also, I propose the strategic thrust model, which is composed of strategic targets (customer, suppliers, partners) and strategic tools(technology innovation, integration). This model is differentiated with evaluation models in that it can capture the rapidly changing business environments, especially strategic targets(customers, suppliers, partners).

In this paper, a university curriculum of Automation Robotics Process(RPA) among several goals for digital transformation of companies was developed. In the process of the development of ICT technology and the 4th industrial revolution, the existing analog information has changed through the stages of digitization, digitalization, and digital transformation. Recently, digital transformation has been cited as an essential survival strategy following a disruptive revolution that changes the paradigm of existing industrial systems and business. It is defined as a continuous process by which a company adapts to or promotes disruptive changes in customers and markets by using digital capabilities to create new business models, products and services. To this end, process automation in companies or organizations is an important factor. Accordingly, the need for a curriculum of robotics processes automation in universities has been raised according to these changes, and the related education contents, which have been centered on companies, have been redesigned to introduce the curriculum for universities. Education contents are composed to help students to attain certificates of essential or advanced of AA.

This paper presents a new fractal coding scheme to find sub-optimal transformation by performing an iterative encoding process. An optimal transformation can be defined as the transformation generating the attractor which is closest to an original image. Unfortunately, it has been well-known that it is actually impossible to find the optimal transformation due to heavy computation. In this paper, however, by means of some new theorems related with the fractal transformation due the attractor, it is shown that for a special case the optimal transformation can be obtained as well as for a general case the sub-optimal transformation. The proposed method based on the theorems obtains the sub-optimal transformation performing an iterative process as if done in decoding. Thus, it requires more computation than the conventional method but improves the image quality. We verify the superiority of the proposed method through the experimental results fur real images, which shows that the proposed method approaches to the optimal method in the performance and is superior to the conventional method.

Using representations is essential for students to organize their thinking, to solve problems and to communicate each other. Students express information or situations suggested by problems easily and organize and infer them systematically using representations. Also, teachers are able to comprehend students' levels of understanding and thinking process better through them, and influence their representations. This study was conducted to understand mathematical representations of students uprightly and to seek implications for proper teaching of representations, by analyzing representations of students in mathematical problem solving process and the transformation process of representation via interactions.
