A camera module that gathers visual information via aerial observation reconnaissance is equipped inside a gimbal structure. This gimbal structure system must reduce dynamic responses in order to obtain clear images under all circumstances. Among many design specifications for this system, there is MIL-STD-810G as a shock standard. This specification indicates a limitation of the acceleration of the camera module under a base shock excitation on the gimbal structure. The satisfaction of this condition can usually be proved by experiment, because it includes bearings and dynamic isolators made of rubber. Numerical analysis must be proposed for design improvement of the gimbal structure. To achieve this goal, transient response analysis for the base shock excitation was performed using the finite element method. Experimental results were compared with numerical solutions and it is shown that the present method is useful.

The purpose of this study was to scrutinize the current tendency of Universal Design. The analysis unit was presentation in the proceeding of "The first International Universal Design Conference" which was held at New York in June, 1998. Sixty the presentations in the conference were analyzed using Content Analysis technique. The analysis criteria were academic vs. practical, themes, subjects, levels of UD concepts, design principles applied, and type of disability. The results were as follows. Compared with its early characteristics such as practical approach, architectural living environment, barrier free for the disabled, especially for person with mobile disability using wheelchair, and the emphasis of accessibility, UD characteristics shown in the conference evidenced a dramatic shift from them toward the new century : Its subjects became a wide range of people including the disabled departing from 'the disabled' only; The range of disability was expanded to include visual and audial disability departing from mobility only; Themes appeared very diverse such as both small and large scale environments, products, dissemination, and theory from the 'architectural environment'; Various design principles were added to early accessibility ; Commercialism was added to early Welfarism. Therefore, this conference provided empirical evidence that UD changed considerably from its early development in many aspects. It indicated the potential of UD as a big wave in the 21st century design.

In this paper, the safety diagnosis using thermal image analysis is described for power equipments. The conventional three-phase comparison method has only provided the results of thermal comparison for the equipments. The proposed method defines the conditions of poor connection by visual checks, and supports the criteria with each thermal rise step. As a result, the thermal difference from $5^{\circ}C$ to $10^{\circ}C$ meant the warning state. In addition, the thermal difference more than $10^{\circ}C$ meant that the connection status was unbalanced. In this case, the countermeasure might be the internal load distribution. If the thermal difference more than $20^{\circ}C$ is observed, it means a hot spot at the poor connection. If the hot spot is observed all over the surface, its cause was the unbalanced load, which made the conductive parts discolored and raised the possibility of oxidization or $Cu_2O$ generation. This diagnostic technology employing thermal image analysis method can be directly applied in the field and ensures the safety of equipments.

Recently, one of countermeasures against aging SOC infrastructures, performance-focused management including the serviceability, functionality, durability, and economics has been changed from the structural safety-focused evaluation has changed into The current inspection and diagnosis for the major SOC facilities in Korea has been carried out by the specific principle of details, and most of them checked by the visual inspection are focused on the repair and rehabilitation of the damaged structures, thus they are the preventive maintenance. However, the performance-focused management should be replaced for the effective and economic maintenance as wells as for the minimization of the damage. In this regard, this study the appropriacy of the current evaluation items about the concrete retaining wall, one of SOC infrastructures as the previous step forward the performance-focused management. In order to deduct the effective evaluation items in order, the entropy, analytic hierachy process (AHP), and promethee analysis were peformed and the results were compared and discussed.

New domains in the analysis of the behavior of moving objects, particularly within human social settings, are generating research interest due to significant advances in the accuracy and production cost of global positioning system (GPS) devices. However, although potential applications have been described in multiple research areas, practical and viable business implementations of GPS technology remain challenging. This paper combines the potential of GPS capabilities with the analytical power of OLAP and data visualization to examine data on the movements of visitors in a zoological garden. Based on this example, the benefits and limitations of the application of GPS technology to the analysis of human spatial behavior are discussed.

Listeria monocytogenes poses an increasing health risk, which in part is due to increasing health risk, consumption of ready-to-eat food products and the introduction of increasing numbers of food products from regions with different dietary habits. L. monocytogenes can be present in meat, shellfish, vegetables, unpasteurised milk and soft cheese and poses a risk if food containing these products is stored at refrigeration temperature and is not properly heated before consumption, as L. monocytogenes is psychrophilic. Amplified-fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis is the method of genotypic techinique in which adaptor oligonucleotides are ligated to restriction enzyme fragments and then used as target sites for primers in a PCR amplification. The amplified fragments are electrophoretically separated to give strain-specific band profiles. Single-enzyme approach that did not require costly equipment or reagents for the fingerprinting of strains of Listeria monocytogenes was developed. Single-enzyme amplified fragment length polymorphism (SE-AFLP) analysis was used to perform species and strain identification of Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia and E. coli. By careful selection of AFLP primers, it was possible to obtain reproducible and sensitive identification to strain level. The AFLP patterns of L. monocytogenes are divided by the kinds of specimens in which were isolated. SE-AFLP fragments can be analyzed using standard gel electrophoresis, and can be easily scored by visual inspection, due to the low complexity of the fingerprint obtained by this method. These features make SE-AFLP suitable for use in either field or laboratory applications.

In this paper, we propose an improved method of watermarking to increase the invisibility of a watermark and robustness against attacks for the purpose of removing the embedded watermark. The proposed method adaptively selects DCT blocks and determines position and intensity for watermarking based on the characteristics of human visual system. The used features are texture, luminance and contrast. We show the experimental results against image processing attacks such as cropping, image enhancement, low pass filtering, and JPEG compression, and then discuss the performance of the proposed method.

Decays of the ceiling jet front velocity under a circular ceiling are investigated. To simulate the ceiling jet in fires He and $N_2$gas were injected from a nozzle to the center of the ceiling. The jet fronts in the form of turbulent eddies were traced by a high-speed camera system. The instantaneous locations of the front were obtained from visual readings of visualized front, and the radial velocity was calculated from the information of the time and the location with respect to the front. The similarity and dimensional analysis were also carried out to reveal the relationship between the velocity decay and the radial distance. It was shown that the radial velocity of the front was inversely proportional to the radial distance in the fully developed region from the experimental results and the theoretical analysis.
