The objective of this paper is to make the weighted graph map for path planning using the ultrasonic sensor measurements that are acquired when an A.M.R (autonomous mobile robot) explores the unknown circumstance. First, The A.M.R navigates on unknown space with wall-following and gathers the sensor data from the environments. After this, we constructs the occupancy grid map by interpreting the gathered sensor data to occupancy probability. For the path planning of roadmap method, the weighted graph map is extracted from the occupancy grid map using morphological image processing and thinning algorithm. This methods is implemented on an A.M.R having a ultrasonic sensor.

A numerical model for masonry is proposed by following an internal variable approach originally developed in the field of elastic-plastic analysis. The general features of the theoretical framework are discussed by focussing on finite element models applicable to incremental elastic-plastic problems. An extremum property is derived and its implications in terms of convergence for convenient algorithms are briefly discussed, by including the case of softening materials and damage effects. Next, a numerical model is presented, which is suitable for masonry, can be developed according to the same internal variable formulation and enjoys similar properties. Some numerical results are presented and compared with the response of a masonry shear wall subjected to pseudodynamic tests.

The medial wall and floor of the bony orbit are frequently fractured because of the delicate anatomy. To optimize functional and aesthetic results, reconstructive surgeons should understand the anatomy and pathophysiology of orbital fractures. Appropriate treatment involves optimal timing of intervention, proper indications for operative repair, incision and dissection, release of herniated tissue, implant material and placement, and wound closure. The following review will discuss the management of orbital floor fractures, with the operative method preferred by the author. Special considerations in operation technique and the complication are also present in this article.

The purpose of this study is to find out the preference and the opinion of feminine seniors on the life support appliances(video phone, medication dispenser, activity monitor and sleep monitor). The appliances may be improved reflecting the result of the preferred functions and designs. The respondents were 141 feminine seniors of 65 years & older, living in Ulsan city or Cheongju city, Korea. Following is the result. 1) All the responses answered that the medication dispenser, video phone and activity monitor, sleep monitor are useful appliances. 2) All the seniors expressed prefer to function of the appliances, and were highly concerned about the price, safety and convenience. 3)The preferred designs were (1) white or red standing medication dispenser,(2) wall-mounted video phone working by voice, (3) metal activity monitor sensor like white or yellow bracelet.

This paper present effective odometry error compensation using multisensor fusion for the accurate positioning of mobile robot in navigation. During obstacle avoidance and wall following of mobile robot, position estimates obtained by odometry become unrealistic and useless because of its accumulated errors. To measure the position and heading direction of mobile robot accurately, odometry sensor a gyroscope and an azimuth sensor are mounted on mobile robot and Complementary-filter is designed and implemented in order to compensate complementary drawback of each sensor and fuse their information. The experimental results show that the multisensor fusion system is more accurate than odometry only in estimation of the position and direction of mobile robot.

The electric charge generated by flowing insulation liquid can create hazardous spark in transfer line and receiving tank etc. These electrification has generally been measured by current measurement with a ammeter connected to the receiving tank. This paper reports on the experimental result obtained by this method. As a experimental results: The injected charge value for unit volume increased in the following condition, the edge of the needle electrode was sharp, the number of needle electrode was fewer, the edge of the needle electrode was located close to the inside wall. When the charge density in the charge reducer is constant, electrode current and electrode potential by the charge injection from outside increase with increasing of oil velocity and streaming current. The electrode potential in charge reducer is made maximum value at edge point of reducer inside and minimum value at center line of charge reducer.

A problem of oil supply for a reciprocating compressor is very significant for an evaluation of reliability. Since a rotational motion of a crank shaft for the reciprocating compressor with small capacity is used for a power source of oil supply, a centrifugal force of the rotational shaft provides a stroke of oil inside the shaft like a centrifugal pump. The pumped oil rises following an inner wall and provided to a bearing passed through an oil supply hole at the side of the shaft for lubrication of the bearing. In this study, the amount of oil supply has been investigated by a numerical analysis for various conditions such as a shape of a groove, rpm of the compressor, and a shape of a flow channel. Also, a method of increasing oil supply for a low rpm has been studied so that the function can be improved for a variable condition.

The purpose of this research is to build a quality-improved occupancy grid map for path-planning of an autonomous mobile robot(AMR) based on the measurements from a single ultrasonic sensor, which are acquired when the autonomous mobile robot explores unknown indoor environment. The AMR navigates in the unknown space by following the wall and gathers the range data using the ultrasonic sensor, from which the occupancy grid map is constructed by associating the range data with occupancy certainties. In order to increase the quality of the map we modify the Bayesian probability updating rule, reject non-systematic measurement errors and correct the predictable error of the AMR itself. These procedures are implemented and tested using an AMR, and primary results are presented in this paper.

This study has dealt with the ice making characteristics in a rectangular vessel cooled from below direction with experiment and numerical analysis. The experiment and numerical analysis were carried out under the following conditions which are the cooling wall temperatures of -5[$^{\circ}C$], -10[$^{\circ}C$], and -15[$^{\circ}C$]. The temperature profile of non-frozen layer was calculated by numerical analysis as the form of non-dimensional temperature. From this study, it is cleared that the existence of natural convection is clearly known. And also the non-dimensional freezing amount was derived from experimental result. This correlation equation will give a useful information to the designers of ice making system.

The Z-map is a special farm of discrete non-parametric representation in which the height values at grid points on the xy-plane are stored as a 2D array z[ij]. While the z-map is the simplest farm of representing sculptured surfaces and is the most versatile scheme for modeling non-parametric objects, its practical application in industry (eg, tool-path generation) has aroused much controversy over its weaknesses, namely its inaccuracy, singularity (eg, vertical wall), and some excessive storage needs. Much research or the application of the z-map can be found in various articles, however, research on the systematic analysis of sculptured surface shape representation via the z-map model is rather rare. Presented in this paper are the following: shape modeling power of the simple z-map model, exact (within tolerance) z-map representation of sculptured surfaces which have some feature-shapes such as vertical-walls and real sharp-edges by adopting some complementary z-map models, and some application examples.
