  • Built on regulatory focus theory, this article develops a research model proposing the relationship between management controls (outcome, activity and capability), sales employees' prevention and promotion focus and their behavioral responses (feedback seeking from different sources and relationship investment). The model also suggests that salesperson perceived organizational fit (P-O fit) contributes by influencing the situational self-regulatory mechanism based on regulatory fit theory. To analyze the data, a structural equation model procedure using LISREL 8.5 was employed. To access the potential common method bias, the MV" marker method was applied using a scale theoretically unrelated to at least one scale in the analysis as the MV marker. The results showed that the greater the salesperson's perceived activity control system, the greater the extent of employee prevention focus. The findings also showed that output control and capability control system are positively related to the promotion focus of salespeople. Salespeople's prevention focus relates negatively to the relational investment and positively to organization feedback seeking. The results indicate that salespeople who have promotion focus exhibit the predicted positive influence on their relationship investment. A significant contribution of this research framework is suggesting salesperson regulatory focus as a mediator and its' effects on different types of sales-related behaviors. The author suggests that the motivational orientations of salespeople play key roles in shaping feedback seeking behaviors from different sources; broadly, that employees with a promotion focus will be more sensitive to customers' feedback, and employees with a prevention focus will seek more feedback from the organization. Furthermore, salespeople with a promotion focus will invest more resources to build relationships with customers than salespeople with a prevention focus. This research also explains the moderating role of person-organization fit on the effect of salespeople's regulatory focus and behavioral responses based on regulatory fit theory

  • The focus control mechanism of the multi-purpose camera can be required for the better quality image acquisition. A good image acquisition through the hardware system including the optics and image sensor, has to be processed before the post correction for improvement of image quality. In the case of the high-resolution satellite camera, the focus control is not a necessity, unlike a normal camera due to a fixed optical system, but may be required due to various reasons. Although there is a basic focus control method using a motor for satellite electronic optical camera, a focus control method using thermal control can be a good alternative because of its various advantages in design, installation, operation, contamination, high reliability and etc. In this paper, we describe the design method and implementation results for the focus control mechanism using the temperature sensor and heater installed in the telescope structure. In the proposed focus control method, the measured temperature information is converted into temperature data by the Kalman filter and the converted temperature data are used in PI controller for the thermal focus control.

  • 일반적으로 프로젝터는 심도(depth of field)가 제한되어 있기 때문에 스크린이 곡면일 경우, 일부 영역에서는 초점이 맞지 않게(out-of-focus) 된다. 이런 out-of-focus 영역의 정보는 블러링(blurring)되기 때문에 사용자에게 정확한 정보를 전달할 수 없다. 여러 대의 프로젝터를 이용할 경우, 각 프로젝터는 다른 in-focus 영역을 가지기 때문에 각 프로젝터 픽셀의 in-focus/out-of-focus 판별을 통해 in-focus 픽셀만을 투사함으로써, out-of-focus 픽셀의 영향을 제거할 수 있다. 그러나 여러 대의 프로젝터의 in-focus영역이 거의 일치할 경우, out-of-focus영역은 여전히 out-of-focus상태일 수 밖에 없다. 따라서, 각 프로젝터의 초점을 유연하게 조절하면서 동시에 여러 대의 프로젝터에 의한 in-focus 영역을 최대한 크게 할 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 각 프로젝터의 초점을 유동적으로 조절하면서 취득된 영상을 처리하여 in-focus 영역을 판별하고 각 프로젝터에 대한 in-focus 영역을 조합하여 전체in-focus 영역의 면적을 최대화하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법의 유용성을 검증하기 위해, 각 프로젝터의 in-focus 영역을 적절한 컬러를 이용해 시각적으로 표현해주고 이 정보를 참조해 각 프로젝터의 초점을 유동적으로 조절하여 전초점 영상을 만들어내는 시스템을 구현하였다.

  • Demand of Auto Focus for Camera module is increased very fast in these days and will be adapted to most of mobile phones in next few years instead of traditional method, fixed focus. To make auto focus function, 2 kinds of solutions, VCM(Voice Coil Motor) and Piezo linear motor are normally used. In this paper, VCM which commercially strong candidate for Auto focus mechanism was investigated to verify principles are match up to the actual operation. Auto focus algorithm is different between 1 chip and 2 chip solution. Normally 2 chip is more complicate than the other. To have best performance on this function, hysteresis and depth of field(DOF) table should be optimized.

  • The study wanted to verify the effect of emotional sub-compression, a negative variable of emotional labor, on job performance, on security personnel working at private security companies, and further to verify how the impact on emotional sub-compression can affect job performance through the first draft of regulation. Empirical analysis through the study model showed that emotional edema was not a significant effect, but a negative effect on job performance, and that it did not affect the control focus itself. This revealed that emotional harmony has been shown to have a negative impact on performance due to the present state and conflicting situations in one's emotions, which means that emotional harmony does not affect negative or positive effects depending on a person's attributes. It also showed that the temperamental control focus on job performance had a positive impact on employees with an improvement focus and had a negative impact on employees with a preventive focus, and that a temperamental control focus between emotional dissonance and job performance had an effect. This indicated that job performance was affected by a temperamental control focus and that employees with an improvement focus had a positive effect and had a positive effect on performance. The implications of the study in this study are that it can have target differentiation in the areas where the study was conducted on guard workers, a social issue related to the study of emotional labor, and it can be meaningful that the study of emotional labor had a control focus and measured both positive and negative tendencies. It is also believed that there will be contributions to the verification of differences in performance resulting from employee propensity and by linking it with a variable called emotional instability. However, the data collected have the limitations of the subject and region, and the emphasis on cross-sectional analysis and the representative of the various emotions to verify the negative effects of emotional labor, and the problem of securing reliability related to the adjustment focus verification are the limitations of the research.

  • Optical monitoring using the chromatic aberration of focusing optics is applied to auto-focus control in laser welding. The spectral transmittance of thermal radiation from a weld pool through an aperture depends on the wavelength of the spectral band and on the distance of the weld pool from the focusing optics. Its dependence has been used to monitor the focus shift in laser welding by measuring the spectral band signals filtered by the aperture. The difference between pulsed and continuous laser welding is analyzed. Furthermore, the dependence of the focus shift monitoring on the weld pool size variation is optimized to monitor the focus shift independently from the laser power change at the weld pool. The performance of the auto-focus control with chromatic filtering is presented for pulsed laser welding.

  • The focus maintains and manages conference session in the conference service. Load of focus increases by the number of participants and it becomes the major reason that limits the extendability of the large-scale conference service. In this paper, a new distributed focus control method has been proposed to solve this problem. Load of focus has been distributed to several conference nodes to implement large-scale conference service in this architecture. Conference nodes which have focus function subscribe to conference server's conference information database, and focus hae been allocated dynamically to process participants needs according to total numbers of the conference participants. For this purpose a new conference control event package for focus load control has been suggested. Furthermore the exchange procedure of SIP messages between focuses and participants also been suggested. The performance of the proposed system has been evaluated by simulation.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of attentional focus and distance of external focus on the performance of balance task of upper extremity. Subjects (N=30) held a stick (2 m) and maintained it horizontally. All of the subjects performed balance task of upper extremity under four different attentional focus conditions: focus on hand (internal focus), marker at 10 cm inside of hand (external focus 1), marker at 10 cm outside of hand (external focus 2), marker at 20 cm outside of hand (external focus 3). The mean velocity of the bar (mm/s) and the muscle activity of biceps brachii (%RVC) were measured. They were decreased when the subjects focused on external focuses compared to internal focus and decreased as distance of attentional focus from body increased (p<.05). There were significant differences between groups (p<.05); internal focus-external focus 1, internal focus-external focus 2, internal focus-external focus 3, external focus 2-external focus 3. These results showed that external focus is more effective than internal focus in enhancing motor performance and focusing on more distant attentional focus results in enhanced motor performance promoting the utilization of more automatic control mechanisms.

  • Seeing is an intelligent act. Retina is the most important part among the components of eye which is comprised of iris, pupil, lens, optic disk, and so forth. Because retina acts like a photo receiver to detect light from every object, if damaged, animals have a severe problem to live along with themselves and sometimes they lose their sight. In the ophthalmology, doctors use special instrument to see exact retina image of object and operate the surgery by rotating focus control knob. In this study, a basic test is done to achieve the auto focus control instrument. Specially made sledge and attenuator are installed on the optic bed to change the distance and laser power between the first reflective mirror and the second one. Control panel which is compiled by Visual C t t to control stepping motors ,laser power and photodiode are implemented with ADA-board.

  • In this paper, we propose a new gel-type biomimetic variable-focus lens system. The miniaturization of conventional lens system is limited due to the use of a set of glass lenses for adjusting the focal length. Biologically inspired by the focus adjustment mechanism of the human eye, a gel-type single lens system with variable-focus is presented. The proposed system consists of a gel-type lens, mechanical parts such as body, rotation ring, and winding-type SMA actuator. In addition, the proposed system is designed to operate with a simple and miniaturized mechanical structure using a new attachment and driving mechanism. The focusing performance of the proposed system is verified through a series of experiments and measurements of the shape of the lens using tomography.
