In this paper, we propose a technique for high speed removal of sea-fog using a graphic processor. This technique uses a host processor(CPU) and several graphics processors(GPU) capable of parallel processing to remove sea-fog from the input image. In the process of removing sea-fog, the dark channel extraction, the maximum brightness channel extraction, and the calculation of the transmission are performed by the host processor, and the process of refining the transmission by applying the bidirectional filter is performed in parallel through the graphic processor. To verify the proposed parallel processing method, three NVIDIA GTX 1070 GPUs were used to construct the verification environment. As a result, it takes about 140ms when implemented with one graphics processor, and 26ms when implemented using OpenMP and multiple GPGPUs. The proposed a parallel processing algorithm based on the graphics processor unit can be used for safe navigation, port control and monitoring system.

In this paper, a new method for predicting the 1 dB gain compression point of cascaded N amplifiers is proposed. With the proposed method, the transfer function of each amplifier is derived from scalar data available from the manufacturers data sheet and all transfer functions are producted with scalar in order to also derive the overall transfer function of the subsystem under the assumption that the input and output port of each amplifier are matched. Therefore, the 1 dB gain compression point of the subsystem can be predicted or estimated, reversely, utilizing the overall transfer function obtained with the proposed method. The proposed method can be used irrespective of the number of scalar data but, in this paper, it is analyzed only with two scalar data (linear power gain and 1 dB gain compression point) and three scalar data(linear power gain, 1 dB and 0.5 dB gain compression points). With two sample amplifiers operated in Ku-band, the predicted results by the proposed and previous method, respectively, and the experimental results are together presented in order to confirm its utility.

We have proposed a solution to multicast services and an advanced quality of service (QoS) mechanism on a packet transport system (PTS) based on PBB-TE. The point-to-multipoint (PtMP) connection in the PBB-TE system have been realized by grouping point-to-point (PtP) PTL trunks and mapping a BSI onto the PtP PTL trunks using a multicast backbone destination address. To provide end-to-end QoS of the PtMP services, the hierarchical QoS scheme for backbone service instances and connection-oriented paths has been implemented in the PTS. For providing different capabilities for service selection and priority selection, the PTS offers to customers three basic types of the port-based, C-tagged, and S-tagged service interface defined by the IEEE 802.1ah. To offer to customers different capabilities of the layer 3 applications and services, moreover, an IP-flow service interface have been added. In order to evaluate traffic performance for PtMP services in the PTS, the PtMP throughputs for the link capacity of 1 Gbps at the four service interfaces were measured in the leaves of the ingress edge node, the transit node, and the egress edge node. The throughputs were about 96 % because the B-MAC overhead of 22 bytes occupies 4% of the 512-byte packet. The QoS performance is ability to guarantee an application or a user a required bandwidth, and could be evaluated by the accuracy of policing or shaping. The accuracy of the policing scheme and the accuracy of the shaping scheme were 99% and 99.3% respectively.

In this paper, we proposed one of the methods for building thesaurus in Science & Technology domain and investigated its applicability as an inference service based on ontology. There exist as many building methods for thesaurus as its role and function, and actually many thesauri capable of ensuring the accuracy and efficiency in information search are being built by many experts. After examining the previous studies related to the principles of building thesaurus and relevant concept "facet", we focused on its characteristics and applied it to building thesaurus. The facet is classified into 2 categories, conceptual facet and relational facet. The latter contains 3 subcategories: category relational facet, attribute relational facet and thematic relational facet. The thesaurus for Science & Technology domain using facets can be applied as a web-based inference service. As a result, the three types of inference service, COP(Communities of Practice), Researcher Tracing and Research Map are provided by means of ontology, and can be applied for the Query Expansion.

Macrobeilthic fauna were collected using a van Veen grab $(0.1m^2)$ to investigate the spatial characteristics of the macrobenthos community at 28 stations near the Nakdong River estuary, Southeast Korea, in September 2001. A total of 203 species were sampled with a mean density of $1,554 ind./m^2$ and a biomass of $252.3 gWWt/m^2$. Annelids were the dominant faunal group in terms of species and density, with 68 species and a mean density of $1,031ind./m^2$, which comprised 33.5% and 66.3% of the total benthic animals, respectively. Based on density, three Polychaetes were dominant Tharyx sp· $(420ind./m^2)$, Lumbrineris longifolia $(143ind./m^2)$, and Sternaspis scutata $(118ind./m^2)$, along with a bivalve Theora fragilis $(129 ind./m^2)$. On cluster analysis, the benthic community was classified into four groups based on the species composition: Group-1 occurred in disturbed areas, Group-II in coastal regions, Group-III in central mariculture grounds, and Group-IV offshore. Environmental factors (mean gain size, organic carbon, and depth) were primarily correlated with the macrobenthos community structure. A benthic pollution assessment based on the macrobenthos community structure showed that Group-I and Group-II were located in a coastal area that had been severely disturbed by construction of Busan new port and various pollutants, Group-III was gradually polluted, while offshore Group-IV was the most stable.

An internal lobe pump is suitable for oil hydraulics of machine tools, automotive engines, compressors, constructions and other various applications. In particular, the pump is an essential machine element of an automotive engine to feed lubricant oil. The subject of this paper is the theoretical analysis of internal lobe pump whose the main components are the rotors: usually the outer one is characterized by lobe with elliptical and involute shapes, while the inner rotor profile is determined as conjugate to the other. And the integrated design system which is composed of three main modules has been developed through AutoLISP under AutoCAD circumstance plus CFD-ACE+. It generates new lobe profile and calculates automatically the flow rate and flow rate irregularity according to the lobe profile generated. CFD simulation results show trends similar to those carried out in experiments, and a quantitative comparison is presented. Results obtained from the automotive integrated design system enable the designer and manufacturer of oil pump to be more efficient in this field.

The Internet telephony service is one of the commercially successful Internet application services. VoIP technology makes the service come true. VoIP deploys H.323 or SIP as the standard protocol for the distributed multimedia services over the Internet in which QoS is not guaranteed. VoIP carries the packetized voice over the RTP/UDP/IP protocol stack. The data transmission trouble is caused by UDP when the service is provided in private networks and some ISP-provided Internet access networks in the private address space. The Internet telephony users in such networks cannot listen the voices of the other parties in the public Internet or PSTN. Making the problem more difficult, the Internet telephony service considered in this paper gets the incoming voice packets of every session through only one UDP port number. In this paper, three schemes including the terminal proxy, the gateway proxy, and the protocol translation are suggested to solve the problems. The design and implementation of the NAT proxy server based on gateway proxy scheme are described in detail.

Pile reinforcement systems with enlarged upper section are newly introduced by using a mechanism that most of horizontal forces are resisted in the upper part of the pile. The new systems are expected to be effectively applicable to the marine structures including port and harbor facilities. In this study, three different reinforcement methods such as bucket pile type, top base pile type, and grouting reinforcement type were utilized in the 3-D. numerical simulations. The parametric study deals with the effects of various factors including soil types and stratigraphy, reinforcement methods, type and dimension of the pile on the lateral behaviors of the pile. The results show that the reinforcement method with bucket pile is the most efficient one compared to the top base pile type and grouting reinforcement type.

The main subject to become a hub port is automation. The automated container terminal has already operated in advanced ports and it has been planned for the basic planning and operation design in domestic case. The key of automated container terminal is effective operation of both ATC(automated transfer crane) and AGV(automated guided vehicle) which is automated handling equipments. This is essential to productivity of automated container terminal. This study suggests the most optimal method of equipment operation in order to minimize loading time using each three types or effective ATC operation methods and AGV dispatching rules in automated container terminals. As the automated equipment operation causes unexpected deadlocks or interferences, it should be proceeded on event-based real time. Therefore we propose the most effective ATC operation methods and AGV dispatching rules in this paper. The various states occurred in real automated container terminals are simulated to evaluate these methods. This experiment will show the most robust automated equipment operation method on various parameters(the degree of yard re-marshaling, the number of containers and the number of AGVs)

This paper resents a novel cargo system adapted for a sea port subjected to severe time-varying tide. The proposed system can perform loading or unloading by using a sort of hydraulic elevator associated with real-tim position control. As a preliminary phase, a small-sized model of the cargo system is designed and constructed. The model consists of three principal components ; container palette transfer(CPT) car, platform with lifting columns and cargo ship. The platform activated by the electro-rheological(ER) valve-cylinder is actively controlled to track the position of the cargo ship subjected to be varied due to the time-varying tide and wave motion. Following the derivation of the dynamic model for the platform and cargo ship motions, an appropriate control scheme incorporating time sequence and PID(proportional-integral-derivative) controller is formulated and implemented. Both the simulated and the measured control results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed cargo system.
