Pull-out strength of tie-bin used in pavement construction is not an issue because those are embedded in newly placed concrete slabs. However, sufficient pull-out strength should be secured in widening constructions because, in case, the tie-bars are inserted into drilled holes of the existing slabs with liquid filler. Insufficient pull-out strength will result in lowered load transfer efficiency between adjacent slabs in addition to poor serviceability and durability due to joint widening. The pull-out strength of the tie-bars installed by current method is evaluated and improved methods are proposed. The field pull-out strength obtained by the current method was only 42.7% of required strength. Its first counterproposal is using to insert the liquid filler into drilled holes and stoppers to prevent it from flowing out of the holes. However, this method was not judged to secure desired level of quality control. The second counterproposal which substitutes the existing type of the tie-bars by SL anchor bolts was judged to secure sufficient pull out-strength in addition to the quality control and constructibility.

Purpose : To evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of the subacromial bursoscopy with glenohumeral air infusion technique for detection of the full thickness tear which we used to think as a partial thickness tear, because it was hidden by bursal tissue. Materials and methods : We chose 65 cases and divided them into 2 groups. The group I was 18 cases with partial thickness rotator cuff tears on glenohumeral arthroscopic evaluation, and the group 2 was 37 cases with full thickness rotator cuff tears which were repaired. We inflated the glenohumeral Joint with 50-100ml of air and observed air bubble leakage simultaneously on bursoscopy. Results : In group I, we could detect air leakage in 3 cases and found that it was full thickness tear. In group II, 2 cases revealed too much air leakage proved that it was incomplete repair and was in need of additional suture. Conclusion : Air infusion technique is though to be a valuable method in differentiation between the partial and full thickness tear and for evaluation of the security of the repair.

최근 ISO/IEC의 MPEG과 ITU-T의 VCEG이 JCT-VC (Joint Collaborative Team for Video Coding)를 구성하여 HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) 차세대 비디오 압축 표준 제정을 위한 작업을 진행 중이다. 과거 압축률이 가장 좋은 것으로 알려진 H.264/AVC 보다 최대 50%까지 부호화 효율 향상을 목표로 하고 있다. HEVC는 H.264/AVC와는 상이한 부호화 구조를 채택하고 있고 작은 크기의 영상뿐만 아니라 크기가 큰 영상까지도 효율적으로 부호화할 수 있도록 설계되고 있다. 예측 및 변환 부호화 과정이 계층적 쿼드트리 구조를 가지며, 특히 변환 부호화는 작은 크기의 변환 블록으로부터 $32{\times}32$ 크기의 변환 블록까지 크게 확장되어 계층적 변환 구조를 이루며 부호화하도록 되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 코덱과는 상이한 부호화 구조를 갖는 쿼드트리 부호화 기반 HEVC 코덱 표준을 위한 율-왜곡 (Rate-Distortion) 모델을 제안한다. 기존의 코덱에서는 부호화되는 기본 단위가 $16{\times}16$로 일정하고, 변환 및 양자화되는 블록의 크기 역시 $4{\times}4$또는 $8{\times}8$ 크기 단위로 그 블록의 크기가 작을 뿐만 아니라 고정된 크기를 사용한다. 따라서 단일 확률 모형을 사용하여 율-왜곡 모델을 만들었으며, 그 정확도 역시 비교적 정확한 결과를 얻었다. 그러나 HEVC에서는 계층적 가변 블록 크기를 갖는 기본 부호화, 예측 및 변환/양자화 기법을 사용하기 때문에 기존의 단일 모델로는 정확한 율-왜곡 모델을 만들어 내기 어렵다. 제안하는 방법은 HEVC의 기본 단위인 CU (Coding Unit)별로 독립적인 확률 모형을 사용하여 율-왜곡모델을 사용하는 것으로 CU의 크기가 가변적이고 CU 내의 텍스처 역시 크기에 따라 매우 다른 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 단일 모델을 사용하는 것보다 매우 효율적인 것을 실험을 통하여 확인하였다.

Recently, building is rapidly develop more intelligently because of the development of industries. And people seek such as comfort, efficiency, and convenience in office environment and the living environment. Also, people were able to use a variety of devices. Smart TV and smart phones were distributed widely so interaction between devices and human has been increase the interest. A various method study for interaction but there are some discomfort and limitations using controller for interaction. In this paper, a user could be easily interaction and control LED through using Kinect and gesture(hand gestures) without controller. we designed interface which is control LED using the joint information of gesture obtained from Kinect. A user could be individually controlled LED through gestures (hand movements) using the implementation of the interface. We expected developed interface would be useful in LED control and various fields.

The semi-automatic gas metal arc welding equipment was developed and the weldability of zinc coated steel pipes was evaluated in terms of strength, porosity and welding parameters including shielding gas composition. The good bead appearance and the reduction of porosity in the welds could be possibly obtained by adding $O_2$ to Ar. The strength and joint efficiency of welds made by the semi-automatic welding equipment was about 1.8 times higher compared with welds manually made. The integrity of welds was confirmed by the water pressure test as well, Finally, it is expected that the weld productivity will be enhanced even unskilled welders can produce quality welds by operating the semi-automatic welding equipment.

At the initial design stage, the generation process of the production material information of a building block and the simulation process of the block erection, which are required to perform the production planning and scheduling, have been manually performed by using 2D drawings, data of parent ships, and design experiences. To make these processes automatic, the accurate generation method of the production material information and the convenient simulation method of the block erection using the 3D CAD model, which was generated from the initial hull structural design system early developed by us, were proposed in this study. For this, a 3D CAD model for a whole hull structure was generated first, and the block division method for dividing the 3D CAD model into several building blocks was proposed. The generation method of the production material information for calculating the weight, center of gravity, painting area, joint length, etc. of a building block was proposed as well. Moreover, the simulation method of the block erection was proposed. Finally, to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed methods for the generation of the production material information and the simulation of the block erection, these methods were applied to corresponding processes of a deadweight 300,000 ton VLCC (Very Large Crude oil Carrier). As a result, it was shown that the production material information of a building block can be accurately generated and the block erection can be conveniently simulated in the initial design stage.

In this paper, we propose a method in which the negative acknowledge (NACK) message is used as command for cooperation and spectrum sharing. This allows for an automatic request for cooperation and sharing when the direct link of the primary user is in outage, and also allows for saving the number of control messages in cooperation-spectrum sharing based paradigm. In the sharing phase, the selected relay shares a power fraction of $1-{\alpha}$ for secondary transmitted signal while the remaining of ${\alpha}$ is for primary retransmitted signal. In the case of no relay collected, primary transmitter uses NACK as a command to retransmit the signal with fully power fraction (${\alpha}=1$). Both systems are assumed to employ BPSK signals. In this scheme, we propose the joint optimal decoding in the secondary user. The frame error rate (FER) performance at both systems is then analyzed. The theoretical and simulation results validate the analysis and confirm the efficiency of the protocol.

In order to achieve high capacity and reliable link quality in wireless communication, the significant efforts should be concentrated on mitigating interference between cells. To solve the interference problem, the newly introduced concept of a Distributed Wireless Communication System (DWCS) can provide the capability of joint control of the signals at multiple cells. This paper proposes a new concept of virtual cell: the Dual Virtual Cell (DVC), and also proposes DVC employment strategy based on DWCS network. The proposed system manages two kinds of virtual cell. One is the Active Virtual Cell which exists for user's actual data traffic and the other is the Candidate Virtual Cell which contains a set of candidate antennas to protect user's link quality from performance degradation or interruption. The proposed system constructs DVC by using antenna selection method. Also, for multi-user high-rate data transmission, the proposed system introduces multiple antenna technology to get a spatial and temporal diversity gam and exploits space-Time Trellis Codes known as STTC to increase a spectral efficiency.
