The objective of this paper is to make a model-based map for the localization of an autonomous mobile robot(AMR) from ultrasonic sensor measurements, that are acquired when the AMR explores unknown indoors. First, the AMR navigates on unknown space by wall-following and gathers range data from the ultrasonic sensor. Then, the range data are converted to a wall-marked gird map, from which lines representing the walls are extracted using the Hough transform. This process is implemented on an AMR having an ultrasonic sensor, and a preliminary experimental result is presented.

The later part of the Lee-Dynasty was a period that marked an important turning point in the history of the modern communication system in our country. This paper proposes to research the historic process of initiation and development of the modern communication system in that period through the communication administrative organ and the installation of the wire communication lines such as wastward lines, southward lines and northward lines extended from Han Seung (Seoul) as well as the submarine cables from Korea to Japan. The modernization of the communication system in our country had been achieved in the struggle of national uprising spirits of Korean people against the invasive avarices of the neighbouring nations such as Japan and China. The initiation of the modern communication system played a leading role in civilizing our country. Thus the fair spirits of our forerunners who had schemed to develop the independent communication system should be valued enormously.

Trauma, congenital malformation and aging process can be a cause of the deviation of laryngeal prominence in the thyroid cartilage. Among these, the senility is the most common cause. Usually, ossification in the thyroid cartilage has occurred symmetrically, but the asymmetrical event leads to the shift of laryngeal prominence. Also, such deformity can provoke protrusion of false vocal fold. A 75-year-old man with hoarseness and globus sense in throat visited our clinic. Five years ago, he experienced a blunt trauma on left midline neck and had a concave deformity in the left thyroid cartilage lamina. Laryngoscopic findings revealed a marked protrusion in the left false vocal fold. We performed the laryngeal microsurgery to discriminate the tumorous condition. The pathology revealed non-pathologic mucosa. We report a unique and didactic case with a brief literature review.

Steel slabs are marked with slab management numbers (SMNs). To increase efficiency, automated identification of SMNs from digital images is desirable. Automatic extraction of SMNs is a prerequisite for automatic character segmentation and recognition. The images include complex background, and the position of the text region of the slabs is variable. This paper describes an pre-processing algorithm for detection of slab information using robust feature points extraction. Using SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) algorithm, we can reduce the search region for extraction of SMNs from the slab image.

In the field of information technology, broadband, internet and information flow have been found to be the primary elements to indicate access to information in this current information age. We examine whether the country difference in Broadband use, Internet use and information flow existing in 1991 has been reduced and if so how fast. Convergence framework had been utilised to answer these questions for 43 African countries. The results indicated that all the three chosen information technology indicators for 43 African countries are converging toward a reduction of dispersion and a catch-up process during the period 1991-2015. However, there are marked differences exhibited in the convergence processes for the Total groups and for the subgroups of countries by income level.

Multi-server Markovian retrial model with heterogeneous servers is analyzed. Arriving customers constitute the MMAP(Marked Markovian Arrival Process). Distribution of the primary customers among the servers is performed randomly depending on the type of a customer and the number of the server. Customers from the orbit have the exponential service time distribution with a parameter depending on the server only. The choice of the server for a retrial is made randomly as well. Multidimensional continuous time Markov chain describing operation of the model is investigated by means of reducing to asymptotically quasi-toeplitz Markov chaius.

The marked increase in the number of environmental problems, combined with the increase in their intensity and spatial extent, has resulted in an ever-increasing need for constant monitoring. This is complicated by the occurrence of new and complicated environmental issues that often prevent a thorough understanding of the entire monitoring framework. In the present study, a diagrammatic method was developed to present the entire framework of a monitoring plan. The diagram was separated into three sections- "Problem Section", "Research Process and Data Section" and "Entities Section" - to clearly present the disparate relationships between monitoring objectives and the monitoring procedure. Notation of the diagrams was undertaken using Unified Modeling Language (UML). A hypothetical monitoring plan for an environmental problem was designed to assess usefulness of the diagrammatic method. The diagram was capable of reviewing and revising the monitoring plan and could be used to select a monitoring procedure according to the monitoring objectives of the plan. The results suggested that this diagrammatic method was effective for designing an appropriate monitoring plan for a given monitoring objective.

In order to improve adhesive force of TiN film, we sputtered titanium as interlayer before TiN deposition by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition. We observed changes of hardness and adhesion at a various thickness of titanium interlayer and also examined analysis. At the critical thickness of the titanium interlayer(about $0.2{\mu}$), adhesive force of TiN films were promoted mostly. But over the critical thickness, a marked reduction of adhesive force was showed, because of the internal stress of titanium interlayer. From AES analysis, the adhesion improvement of TiN films was mainly caused by nitrogen diffusion into titanium interlayer during TiN deposition process which relieved stress concentration at TiN coating-substrate interface.

To accomodate workers with efficient mobility, coveralls were redesigned, construted and evaluated. In this study, especially, image processing techniques were applied to the evaluation stage, to quantify thE ease of body movement. For the initial observation stage, car-center workers were interviewed and their movements were videotaped. By analyzing the videotape, the area of stress and strains on the work clothes were marked on the figure chert and considered for the pattern making. 4DM cut pattern were applied to the upper part of the work clothes and other alternations were made throughout the problem area. Honey comb slashes were made on the problem area of the original and newly designed coveralls. Open areas of honey comb slashes due to body movement between the original and newly designed coveralls were analyzed by image processing techniques. Other objective and subjective evaluation of newly designed coveralls was compared with the original one. Overall evaluation of functionally designed coveralls was appered to be positive and the image processing techiques were useful methology to quantify the amount of stress in this study.

This study was designed to investigate purchasing and post-purchase behaviors of middle-aged wives in buying townwears, an well as to examine socio-demographic variables, physical variables, psychological variables, and their influences on. The data included 374 housewives in Seoul and Pusan. Statistics used for data analysis were Frequencies, Means, Standard Deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's Correlation. The major finding are as follows: 1. The level of post-purchase satisfaction marked higher than middle point. 2. Post-purchase satisfaction differed significantly in income, health-state, identity, stress perceptivity, income satisfaction, sense of comparison, and propensity to consume.
