An approximate representation of discrete functions {f$_{i,j}\mid$｜i, j=-1, 0, 1, …, N+1}in two variables by a fuzzy system is described. We use the cubic B-splines as fuzzy sets for the input fuzzification and spike functions as the output fuzzy sets. The ordinal number of f$_{i,j}$ in the sorted list is taken to be the out put fuzzy set number in the (i, j) th entry of the fuzzy rule table. We show that the fuzzy system is an exact representation of the cubic spline function s(x, y)=$\sum_{N+1}^{{i,j}=-1}f_{i,j}B_i(x)B_j(y)$ and that the approximation error S(x, y)-f(x, y) is surprisingly O($h^2$) when f(x, y) is three times continuously differentiable. We prove that when f(x, y) is a gray scale image, then the fuzzy system is a smoothed representation of the image and the original image can be recovered exactly from its fuzzy system representation when it is a digitized image.e.

In this paper, we analyze the spectrum-sensing performance of a cooperative cognitive radio (CR) network consisting of a number of CR nodes and a fusion center (FC). We introduce the "log-average-SNR ratio" that relates the average SNR of the CR-node-FC link and that of the primary-user-CR-node link. Assuming that the FC utilizes the K-out-of-N rule as its decision rule, we derive exact expressions for the sensing gain and the coding gain - parameters used to characterize the CR network performance at the high SNR region. Based on these results, we determine ways to optimize the performance of the CR network.

Lightweight parts with very uniform precision are manufactured by an indent method and the press technique has been improved. Upon assembly with an indent method, a deformation force due to the compressive force occurs between the pin and hole and the contact surface is affected by damage. Therefore, a 3 dimensional model was made using the CATIA program and the damage on the surface contacted with indent was estimated through the ANSYS program in this study. In the analysis result, the maximum load applied at the PCB plate was 21.3 N when the pin goes through the PCB plate. When PCB plate came out of the pin, the maximum load was 19.24 N. As the structural analysis result, the maximum equivalent stress of Pin 1 was 192.96MPa because the maximum stress occurs at Pin 1 among all parts of this study model. By examining the damage property of the contacted indent and applying this study result to the design of real indentation, the damage can be prevented and the durability can be estimated.

There are many queueing systems where customers wait for service up to a certain amount of time and leave the system if they are not served during that time. This paper considers a finite capacity multi-server queueing system with Poisson input and Erlang service time, where a customer becomes a lost customer when his service has not begun within an exponential patient time after his arrival. Performance measures such as average queue length, the average number of customers in service, and the proportion of lost customers can be obtained exactly through the proposed numerical solution procedure.

In this paper, we propose an improved framework to analyze an N-ocular imaging system under fixed constrained resources such as the number of image sensors, the pixel size of image sensors, the distance between adjacent image sensors, the focal length of image sensors, and field of view of image sensors. This proposed framework takes into consideration, for the first time, the defocusing effect of the imaging lenses according to the object distance. Based on the proposed framework, the N-ocular imaging system such as integral imaging is analyzed in terms of depth resolution using two-point-source resolution analysis. By taking into consideration the defocusing effect of the imaging lenses using ray projection model, it is shown that an improved depth resolution can be obtained near the central depth plane as the number of cameras increases. To validate the proposed framework, Monte Carlo simulations are carried out and the results are analyzed.

The Engineering Test Satellite VIII(ETS-VIII) of Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency(JAXA) uses a 20mN class xenon ion engine subsystem(IES) for North-South Station Keeping(NSSK). The IES was modified for a larger satellite with longer lifetime based on the former IES. ETS-VIII, a three-ton class geosynchronous satellite with 10 years bus lifetime, was launched 18 Dec. 2006 JST; it reached the planned orbit and all bus systems were checked out. The IES showed good results and is now under normal operation. The total accumulated operation time of the IES in orbit was about 2300 hours till $19^{th}$ Dec. 2007.

The aerobic respiratory chain of Vibrio alginolyticus possesses two different kinds of NADH oxidase systems, i.e., an $Na^{+}$-dependent NADH oxidase system and an $Na^{+}$-independent NADH oxidase system. When deamino-NADH, which is the only substrate for the $Na^{+}$-dependent NADH oxidase system, was used as a substrate, the maximum activities of $N^{+}$-dependent NADH: quinone oxidoreductase and $Na^{+}$-dependent NADH oxidase were obtained at about 0.06 M and 0.2 M NaCl, respectively. When NADH, which is a substrate for both $Na^{+}$-dependent and $Na^{+}$-independent NADH oxidase systems was used as a substrate, the NADH oxidase activity had a pH optimum at about 8.0. In cGntrastl when deamino-NADH was used as a substrate, the NADH oxidase activity had a pH optimum at about 9.0. On the other handle inside-out membrane vesicles prepared from the wild-type bacterium generated only a very small $\Delta$pH by the NADH oxidase system, whereas inside-out membrane vesicles prepared from Napl, which is a mutant defective in the $Na^{+}$ pump, generated $\Delta$pH to a considerable extent by the NADH oxidase system. On the basis of the results\ulcorner it was concluded that the respiratory chain-linked components of V. atginotyticus affect each other.

Recently, InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well grown on GaN pyramid structures have attracted much attention due to their hybrid characteristics of quantum well, quantum wire, and quantum dot. This gives us broad band emission which will be useful for phosphor-free white light emitting diode. On the other hand, by using quantum dot emission on top of the pyramid, site selective single photon source could be realized. However, these structures still have several limitations for the single photon source. For instance, the quantum efficiency of quantum dot emission should be improved further. As detection systems have limited numerical aperture, collection efficiency is also important issue. It has been known that micro-cavities can be utilized to modify the radiative decay rate and to control the radiation pattern of quantum dot. Researchers have also been interested in nano-cavities using localized surface plasmon. Although the plasmonic cavities have small quality factor due to high loss of metal, it could have small mode volume because plasmonic wavelength is much smaller than the wavelength in the dielectric cavities. In this work, we used localized surface plasmon to improve efficiency of InGaN qunatum dot as a single photon emitter. We could easily get the localized surface plasmon mode after deposit the metal thin film because lnGaN/GaN multi quantum well has the pyramidal geometry. With numerical simulation (i.e., Finite Difference Time Domain method), we observed highly enhanced decay rate and modified radiation pattern. To confirm these localized surface plasmon effect experimentally, we deposited metal thin films on InGaN/GaN pyramid structures using e-beam deposition. Then, photoluminescence and time-resolved photoluminescence were carried out to measure the improvement of radiative decay rate (Purcell factor). By carrying out cathodoluminescence (CL) experiments, spatial-resolved CL images could also be obtained. As we mentioned before, collection efficiency is also important issue to make an efficient single photon emitter. To confirm the radiation pattern of quantum dot, Fourier optics system was used to capture the angular property of emission. We believe that highly focused localized surface plasmon around site-selective InGaN quantum dot could be a feasible single photon emitter.

The objective of this study was to develop an electronic-hydraulic depth control system. Simulation was carried out to investigate the responses of the control system, and indoor experiments were carried out to confirm the simulation results of the control system. Field experiments were carried out to compare the newly-developed electronic-hydraulic depth-control system with the existing mechanical-hydraulic position control system in terms of the performance of depth control. The electronic-hydraulic depth control system showed better performance than the existing mechanical-hydraulic hitch control system for the forward speeds of tractor less than 7 km/h. It is concluded that the new control system could be adapted to the existing tractors with slight modifications to the conventional mechanical-hydraulic hitch control systems.
