The present study demonstrated the effects of processing variable and alloying elements on the processing window of austempered cast iron, one of the heat-treatable cast irons, in order to elucidate the relation between heat treatment and microstructure in terms of time and temperature. Such microstructure is strongly affected by austenitizing conditions and alloying elements. The size of processing window tends to increase initially with increasing austenitizing temperature from 1123 to 1173 K, followed by a decline in the reverse direction between 1173 and 1223 K. Thus, the optimized processing window with large frame was found at an austenitizing temperature of 1173 K. To determine the effect of Sn addition, the processing window in the sample was created by the addition of 0.08 wt.% Sn, which appeared larger than that without Sn and with 0.06 wt.% Sn.

We are interested in the PON which is easy to install and inexpensive to maintain, as it is a solution of the FTTH that is a core technology of the BcN access network. When a new ONU is connected, TDMA PON has a procedure called ranging that OLT measures the distance and allocates the equalized delay to it in order to provide the same logical distance to all ONUs. For the procedure, the OLT has to open a time window several times and already activated ONUs cannot transmit a data to the upstream during the periods. Accordingly, it is important to reduce the window size for saving the bandwidth and providing a user the service smoothly. In this paper, we investigate the ONU activation method of G-PON based on ITU-T G984.3 and suggest an advanced method(algorithm I) that minimizes the window size without information of ONU distance. The size can be reduced by calculating the pre-assigned delay obtained during Serial number state. Also, we compare it with another(algorithm II) with information of distance. As a result, the window size reduces to $50{\sim}90%$ for the algorithm I and 99% for algorithm II during the ONU activation process.

Packet switch is a key component in high speed digital networks. This paper investigates congestion phenomena in the packet switching with input buffers. For large value of switch size N, mathematical models have been developed to analyze asymptotic maximum switch throughput under nonuniform traffic. Simulation study has also been done for small values of finite N. The rapid convergence of the switch performance with finite switch size to asymptotic solutions implies that asymptotic analytical solutions approximate very closely to maximum throughputs for reasonably large but finite N. Numerical examples show that non-uniformity in traffic pattern could result in serious degradation in packet switch performance, while the maximum switch throughput is 0.586 when the traffic load is uniform over the output trunks. Window scheduling policy seems to work only when the traffic is relatively uniformly distributed. As traffic non-uniformity increases, the effect of window size on throughput is getting mediocre.

The measured pulse shapes provided in the given data package demonstrated pulse distortions due to laser speckle. the distorted pulse shapes were carefully analyzed, modeled, and then applied to the DTTL(Digital-data Transition Tracking Loop)[1] bit synchronizer simulator to measure the mean time delay and its delay variation performance. The result showed that the maximum mean time delay variation with the modeled data was 12.5% when window size equals 1. All the data given were located within this modeled boundary and the maximum eman time delay variation was 7% in this case. The mean time delay variation was known to be smaller by reducing the window size [2][5][6]. The mitigated delay variation was 2.5% in the modeled case and 1.4% in the data set given when the windown size equals 0.1. With the digital DTTL insteal of analog DTTL, similar results was obtained.

When size and shape of moving object have been changed, a correlator often accumulates walk-off error. A success of correlation-based tracking largely depends on choosing suitable window size and position and thus transferring the proper reference image to the next frame. For this, we propose the Adaptive Window Algorithm with Four-Direction Sizing Factors (AWA-FSF) for fast adjusting a reference region to enhance reliability of correlation-based image tracking in complex cluttered environments. Since the AWA-FSF is capable of adjusting a reference image size more rapidly and properly, we can minimize the influence of complex background and clutter. In addition, we can finely tune the center point of the reference image repeatedly after main tracking process. Thus we have increased stability and reliability of correlation-based image tracking. We tested performance of the AWA-FSF using 45 real image sequences made of over 3400 images and had the satisfied results for most of them.

Generally, moving images contain the various components in motions, which reange from a static object and background to a fast moving object. To extract the accurate motion parameters, we must consider the various motions. That requires a wide search egion in motion estimation. The wide search, however, causes a high computational complexity. If we have a few knowledge about the motion direction and magnitude before motion estimation, we can determine the search location and search window size using the already-known information about the motion. In this paper, we present a local adaptive motion estimation approach that predicts a block motion based on spatio-temporal neighborhood blocks and adaptively defines the search location and search window size. This paper presents a technique for reducing computational complexity, while having high accuracy in motion estimation. The proposed algorithm is introduced the forward and backward projection techniques. The search windeo size for a block is adaptively determined by previous motion vectors and prediction errors. Simulations show significant improvements in the qualities of the motion compensated images and in the reduction of the computational complexity.

The preferred dimensions of the test opening for a window are $1250mm{\times}1500mm$ according to ISO 10140-1:2010. But tests done at actual size generally because not standardized for windows. In this study, we know the sound insulation characteristics by the size of windows using the single windows and double windows, consider the more effective performance evaluation method.

This paper deals with a tracking algorithm based on integral projection which tracks moving targets with varying brightness and size. An adaptive windowing technique is employed to reduce the sensitivity of the system to the complex background image and also to reduce the computational load. The threshold value is determined by considering both the size and the threshold value of the brightness intensity of the recognized target obtained in the previous processing step. Window position is estimated by using the information of the velocity and acceleration of the target. And integral projection is applied to find the position of the target in the window accurately. Experimental results show that moving targets with varying brightness and size can be tracked properly in noisy environments.

These days, use of multimedia streaming service and demand of QoS (Quality of Service) improvement have been increased because of development of network. QoS of streaming service is influenced by a jitter, delay, throughput, and loss rate. For guaranteeing these factors which are influencing QoS, the role of transport layer is very important. But existing TCP which is a typical transport layer protocol increases the size of congestion window slowly and decreases the size of a congestion window drastically. These TCP characteristic have a problem which cannot guarantee the QoS of UHD multimedia streaming service. In this paper, we propose a router buffer based congestion control method for improving the QoS of UHD streaming services. Our proposed scheme applies congestion window growth rate differentially according to a degree of congestion for preventing an excess of available bandwidth and maintaining a high bandwidth occupied. Also, our proposed scheme can control the size of congestion window according to a change of delay. After comparing with other congestion control protocols in the jitter, throughput, and loss rate, we found that our proposed scheme can offer a service which is suitable for the UDH streaming service.

The purpose of this study was to analyze characteristics of the bedroom environment of nursing homes for the elderly in Korea. Field case research was performed using a structured checklist and measurements, from Oct. 28th to Dec. 2nd, 2006. Collected data were analyzed for cognitive efficiency, privacy, safety, supportiveness and amenity. Based on nursing homes for the elderly nationwide (Ministry of Health and Welfare, 2006), we choose 43 facilities in which Seoul and six megalopolis areas that had answered our questionnaire in 2006. We then narrowed the list to 14 facilities, balanced them in terms of regional population. The contents of investigation consisted of eight categories: that general characteristics of the bedrooms (including number of residents per room, using a bed or floor mat, the size and shape of the chamber, space for wheelchair turning, signage), door of bedroom (including door, doorknob, door sill/level difference), windows in the bedroom(including type of window, window sill height, window treatment, window safety device/shape, view/daylight), furniture (including personal furniture and lock), finishes (material, character and color of wall, floor, ceiling), lighting (including types of lighting, night lighting, switch), bathroom in the bedroom (including signage, door size/type, doorknob shape, height of the washbowl, size of toilet bowl, handrail, finishes), and other facilities (including outlet and handrails).
