A process planning system for cold forging of non-axisymmetric parts of comparatively simple shape was developed in this study. Programs for the system have been written with Visual LISP in AutoCAD. Shape of the product must be drawn with the solid line and the hidden line, and with the plane and front view, as well. At the plane, the system recognizes the external shape of non-axisymmetric portions - the number of the sides of the regular polygons and the radii of circles inscribing and circumscribing the polygon. At the front view, the system cognizes the diameter of axisymmetric portions and the height of the primitive geometries such as polygon, cylinder, cone, concave, convex, etc. The system perceives that the list developed from the solid line must be formed by the operation of forward extrusion or upsetting, and that the list developed from the hidden line must be formed by the operation of backward extrusion. The system designs the intermediate geometries again by considering clearance between workpiece and die, and then finally the billet diameter, in reverse order from the finished product, on the basis of volume constancy and using the operations, the forming sequence, the number of operations and the intermediate geometries which were already designed. The design rules and knowledges for the system were extracted from the plasticity theories, handbook, relevant reference and empirical knowledge of field experts. Suitability of the process planning was analyzed using SuperForge of FVM simulation package. The results of analysis showed good formability.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to propose contrast metric which is based on the human visual perception and thus it can be used to improve the quality of digital images in many applications. Methods: Previous literatures are surveyed, and then the proposed method is modeled based on Human Visual System(HVS) such as multiscale property of the contrast sensitivity function (CSF), contrast constancy property (suprathreshold), color channel property. Furthermore, experiments using digital images are shown to prove the effectiveness of the method. Results: The results of this study are as follows; regarding the proposed contrast measure of complex images, it was found by experiments that HVS follows relatively well compared to the previous contrast measurement. Conclusion: This study shows the effectiveness on how to measure the contrast of complex images which follows human perception better than other methods.

This paper proposes an illuminant compensation method using a camera noise analysis without segmentation in the dichromatic reflectance model. In general, pixels within highlight regions include large amounts of information on the image illuminant. Thus, the analysis of highlight regions provides a relatively easy means of determining the characteristics of an image illuminant. Currently, conventional methods require regional segmentation and the accuracy of this segmentation then affects the illuminant estimation. Therefore, the proposed method estimates the illuminant without segmentation based on a conformity assessment of highlight regions. Furthermore, error factors, such as noise and sensor non-uniformity, can be reduced by the conformity assessment.

The part of the work of plastic deformation of metal goes into the changes in the total surface free energy. This contribution is dependent on the specific surface free energy, which is affected by the environment. Based on thermodynamical approach, volume constancy requirement and adsorption induced two distinct dislocation interaction mechanisms for strengthening or weakening of metals at surface, theoretical derivation has been made to show that the environmental contribution on the strain hardening, the stress and the energy required for plastic deformation can be expressed in terms of solid surface tension in vacuum (${\gamma}$$_{s}$), interfacial tension (${\gamma}$$_{se}$ ), surface dislocation density ($\rho$$_{s}$), internal dislocation density ($\rho$$_{i}$) and fraction of surface site uncoverage (f). On the basis of theoretical derivation, the various mechanical behaviours under different environments are predicted.d.d.

Color constancy는 다양한 광원 아래에서 사물의 색을 인지하는 능력이다. 사람의 눈은 절대적인 색상을 인지하는 것이 아니라 주변 환경과의 상대적인 색상을 인지하지만[1], 기계는 절대적인 색상 값으로 받아들이므로 기계가 광원의 영향을 받은 사물의 색상을 정확히 알기 위해서는 기계가 받아들이는 색상 값에서 광원의 영향을 제거해 주는 과정이 필요하다. 이를 카메라에서는 화이트 밸런싱 또는 칼라 밸런싱이라 부르기도 하며 이러한 과정을 위해서 다양한 기법들이 존재하는데, 영상 전체의 각 색상 채널의 평균값은 무채색이라는 Grey world 기법[2]부터, 영상에서 가장 높은 색상 값을 갖는 곳이 광원을 가장 잘 표현한다고 가정하는 White patch(Max RGB)기법[1], 색상 히스토그램 보정을 통한 화이트 밸런싱[3], 최근에는 무채색 지점에서의 각 색상 채널의 변화량이 모두 같다는 가정을 통해 무채색 지점을 찾는 Grey pixel[4] 등 많은 기법이 연구되었다. 본 연구에서는 칼라 히스토그램 보정으로 칼라 대비 개선 효과를 통해 각 색상 채널의 비율이 비슷한 곳을 무채색 지점으로 표본을 수집하여 해당 표본으로부터 칼라 벡터로서 PCA를 통한 대표 값을 추출하여 광원을 예측하는 기법을 소개한다.

In the aminolysis of phenacyl bromides ($YC_6H_4COCH_2Br$) with benzylamines ($XC_6H_4CH_2NH_2$) in acetonitrile, the Bronsted βx (βnuc) values observed are rather low ( βX = 0.69-0.73). These values are similar to those (βx $^~_=$ 0.7) for other aminolysis reactions of phenacyl compounds with anilines and pyridines, but are much smaller than those ( βx = 1.1-2.5) for the aminolysis of esters with benzylamines which are believed to proceed stepwise with rate-limiting expulsion of the leaving group. The relative constancy of the βx values (βx $^~_=$ 0.7) irrespective of the amine, leaving group and solvent can be accounted for by a bridged type transition state in the rate-limiting expulsion of the leaving group. Thus the aminolysis of phenacyl derivatives are proposed to proceed stepwise through a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate ($T^{\pm}$), with rate-limiting expulsion of the leaving group from $T^{\pm}$. In the transition state, the amine is bridged between the carbonyl and α-carbons, which leads to negligible effect of amine on the leaving group expulsion rate.

As transmission line is installed by manual operation, it is necessary to scheme the automatic system for stringing transmission wire. For this necessity, the objective of this paper is developed automatic control system for a stringing of transmission wire. In this paper, transmission wire with suspended pattern and ac servo motor for torque generating are modeled. On the basis of wire model, algorithms to determine the reference tension is presented, so as the dip of transmission wire is keep constancy. The control scheme is proposed by the ac servo motor for torque generation and a load cell for a detected tension of transmission wire and implemented. We experimentally show that the performance of the tension response is satisfactory. And also proposed scheme verified the utilities for tension control of transmission wire.

Image processing systems have been used to measure the plant parameters such as size, shape and structure of plants. There are yet some limited applications for evaluating plant colors due to illumination conditions. This study was focused to present adaptive methods to analyze plant leaf color regardless of illumination conditions. Color patches attached on the calibration bars were selected to represent leaf colors of lettuces and to test a possibility of health monitoring of lettuces. Repeatability of assigning leaf colors to color patches was investigated by two-tailed t-test for paired comparison. It resulted that there were no differences of assignment histogram between two images of one lettuce that were acquired at different light conditions. It supported that use of the calibration bars proposed for leaf color analysis provided color constancy, which was one of the most important issues in a video color analysis. A health discrimination equation was developed to classify lettuces into one of two classes, SOUND group and POOR group, using the machine vision. The classification accuracy of the developed health discrimination equation was 80.8%, compared to farmers' decision. This study could provide a feasible method to develop a standard color chart for evaluating leaf colors of plants and plant health monitoring system using the machine vision.

The digital camera is impossible to preserve the appearance of a scene containing high dynamic range due to a limitations of the sensing hardware. The Retinex was proposed on the purpose to solve these problems. While the Retinex enhances visibility and color constancy, it sometimes suffers from color distortion, halo effect and reduced global contrast. This paper presents an advanced Retinex algorithm working on the YCbCr color coordinate to reduce the processing time and to improve the global contrast and color. Simulation results show that our algorithm significantly reduces the total processing time, and provide the superior result image by improving the global contrast and color consistency as well as by reducing the halo effect around the boundaries.

Second-order rate constants have been determined spectrophotometrically for reactions of S-p-nitrophenyl substituted thiobenzoates with various phenoxide ions and S-aryl substituted thiobenzoates with $HO^-$ ion. Thiol esters have been found to be more reactive than the corresponding oxygen esters toward phenoxide ions. The high reactivity of thiol esters relative to oxygen esters becomes insignificant as the basicity of the nucleophile increases. Furthermore, the highly basic $HO^-$ ion is less reactive toward thiol esters than oxygen esters. The significant dependence of the reactivity of thiol esters on the basicity of nucleophiles has been attributed to the nature of the HSAB principle. The present kinetic study has also revealed that the reactivity of thiol esters compared to oxygen esters is not so pronounced as expected based on the enhanced nucleofugicity of thiol esters. However, the effects of substituents in the nucleophile and in the acyl moiety of the substrate on rate appear to be significant. These kinetic results have led to a conclusion that the present reactions proceed via a rate-determining formation of a tetrahedral intermediate followed by a fast breakdown of it. The magnitude of the ${\beta}$ values shows no tendency either to increase or to decrease with the intrinsic reactivity of the reagents. The constancy of ${\beta}$ values in the present system is suggestive that the RSP should have limited applicability.
