  • Facial expression recognition is an important part in emotional interaction between human and machine. This paper proposes a facial expression recognition approach based on multi-classifier fusion with stacking algorithm. The kappa-error diagram is employed in base-level classifiers selection, which gains insights about which individual classifier has the better recognition performance and how diverse among them to help improve the recognition accuracy rate by fusing the complementary functions. In order to avoid the influence of the chance factor caused by guessing in algorithm evaluation and get more reliable awareness of algorithm performance, kappa and informedness besides accuracy are utilized as measure criteria in the comparison experiments. To verify the effectiveness of our approach, two public databases are used in the experiments. The experiment results show that compared with individual classifier and two other typical ensemble methods, our proposed stacked ensemble system does recognize facial expression more accurately with less standard deviation. It overcomes the individual classifier's bias and achieves more reliable recognition results.

  • Objective: Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of adaptation time and inclusion level of sugar beet pulp (SBP) on nutrient digestibility and to evaluate the ileal amino acid digestibility of SBP fed to pigs. Methods: In Exp. 1, thirty-six crossbred barrows ($85.0{\pm}2.1kg$) were allotted to 6 diets in a completely randomized design with six replicates per diet. Diets included a corn-soybean meal diet and 5 test diets containing 14.6%, 24.4%, 34.2%, 43.9%, or 53.7% SBP, respectively. The adaptation time consisted 7, 14, 21, or 28 d consecutively for each pig followed by 5 d for fecal collection. Feces were collected from d 8 to 13, d 15 to 20, d 22 to 27, and d 29 to 34, respectively. In Exp. 2, six pigs ($35.1{\pm}1.7kg$) with T-cannulas at the terminal ileum were fed to 3 diets in a replicated $3{\times}3$ Latin square design with 3 periods and 2 replicate pigs per diet. Each period consisted 5 d for diet adaptation followed by 2 d for digesta collection. Results: The digestible energy (DE) value and the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of gross energy (GE), dry matter (DM), ash, and organic matter in diets linearly decreased (p<0.05) as the adaptation time increased or as the dietary SBP increased, while the ATTD of neutral detergent fibre and acid detergent fibre in diets linearly increased (p<0.01) as the dietary SBP increased. The DE value and the ATTD of GE and crude protein (CP) in SBP linearly increased (p<0.05) as the adaptation time increased, while the ATTD of CP in SBP linearly decreased (p<0.01) as the inclusion level increased. The standardized ileal digestibility of Lys, Met, Thr, and Trp in SBP was 37.03%, 51.62%, 40.68%, and 46.22%, respectively. Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that the ATTD of energy and nutrients were decreased as inclusion rate of SBP increased.

  • A flat-type piezoelectric ceramic ultrasonic transmitter was successfully fabricated for application in acoustic devices with cone-free diaphragms. The transmitter, possessing a center frequency of 40.6 kHz, exhibited a higher displacement characteristic for a multilayer type compared with a single layer type. Surface roughness treatment of an Al elastic diaphragm influenced a slight increase (1.1 dB) in the sound pressure level (SPL) at $10V_{rms}$ due to the enlarged surface area. The fabricated multilayer piezoelectric ceramic ultrasonic transmitter showed increasing SPL with increasing input voltage, with a maximum SPL of approximately 123.6 dB at $10V_{rms}$. This implies a doubly increased SPL density of $3.6dB/mm^3$, superior to that of a commercial open-type transmitter with a cone.

  • This study identified smart manufacturing technologies using patent and topic modeling, and compared the technology development trends in countries such as the United States, Japan, Germany, China, and South Korea. To this purpose, this study collected patents in the United States and Europe between 1991 and 2020, processed patent abstracts, and identified topics by applying latent Dirichlet allocation model to the data. As a result, technologies related to smart manufacturing are divided into seven categories. At a global level, it was found that the proportion of patents in 'data processing system' and 'thermal/fluid management' technologies is increasing. Considering the fact that South Korea has relative competitiveness in thermal/fluid management technologies related to smart manufacturing, it would be a successful strategy for South Korea to promote smart manufacturing in heavy and chemical industry. This study is significant in that it overcomes the limitations of quantitative technology level evaluation proposed a new methodology that applies text mining.

  • In this paper, we have proposed a separable nose cap and its opening device to protect a seeker's window from aerodynamic heating and to decrease the drag force on missile body. The nose cap should be promptly deployed to secure the view field of seeker when it is needed. This cap consists of two nose cap structures and separation devices such as pyro puller and pusher. The performance of pyro puller was fully verified through analyses and several kinds of operating tests. We can obtain a sufficient confidence level of the pyro puller through many operating tests under various environments.

  • Virtualization technology has been applied in IA-32 based server or desktop systems. Recently it has been applied in ARM based mobile systems. Virtualization technology provides many useful features that are not possible in operating system level such as isolation, interposition, encapsulation and portability. In this research, we implement an ARM based VMM(Virtual Machine Monitor) by using the following techniques. First, we use "emulation" to virtualize the processor. Second, we use "shadow page tables" to virtualize the memory. Finally, we use a simple "pass-through I/O" to virtualize the device. Currently the VMM runs ARM Linux kernel 3.4.4 on a BeagleBoard-xM, and we evaluated the performance of the VMM using lmbench and dhrystone. The result of the evaluation shows that our VMM is slower than Xen on ARM that is implemented using paravirtualization but has good performance among the VMMs using full-virtualization.

  • Recently the quality improvement of the steel cord product is demanded by the tire market. After wire drawing process, produced residual stresses have a harmful effect on the durability of the wire and become the cause which decreases the quality of the product. Therefore, to improve the quality of the steel cord product, the research regarding the method of residual stress relaxation is necessary. To evaluate the quality of the drawn wire, it is important to measure the residual stress, because the residual stress decides a variety of the quality level which is demanded in the drawn wire. This study proposed a residual stress relaxation method in the drawn wire using FE analysis. The validity of the analysis results was verified by nanoindentation test.

  • The multilevel grid file(MLGF) is a dynamic multidimensional file organization supporting multi-attribute accesses efficiently. The paper proposes new method for batch-constructing MLGFs. Our method consists of two phases. The first phase begins by relocating all the objects in order that logically adjacent objects in multidimensional domain space are clustered in one dimensional physical space. For this, our method employs the Z-ordering scheme, which effectively maps multidimensional space into one dimensional space preserving proximity. The second phase paginates the relocated objects and creates leaf level directory entries, each of which corresponds to a object page. Simultaneously, it performs same actions on the directory entries recursively in a bottom-up fashion until the root directory fits in a page. For performance evaluation, we analyze our method in terms of the number of page accesses. The result shows the optimality of our method.
