Abstract: This is a space era for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with complex autonomous systems to have an objective research on interplanetary studies. The UAV design for the space application is a complicated approach due to its involvement with initial conditions such as the atmospheric data of that particular planet and in later stages, where the experimental testing setup requires a separate infrastructure to match that atmospheric conditions. So, where the planetary data required for design are density, temperature, viscosity, pressure and gravity. These are initial conditions which affects the design and performance parameters in the conceptual stage of the planetary UAV. This paper describes the UAV conceptual design methodology for the Mars application which includes the configuration selection, sizing, aerodynamic analysis and performance evaluation using low fidelity tools such as XFLR5 and OCTAVE (Low order code).

Abstract: The latest technology associated with Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have been designed with the aim to minimize the numbers of person injury in road accidents and improve the overall road safety. The driver behavior is one major concern in many accidents in HK urban road links. In particular, the driver's attitudes, such as fatigue, drowsiness and concentration are the major causes to road accidents. It will affect the driver's ability and decisions in properly controlling their vehicles. Very often, this kind of driver distraction is particularly obvious when driving after 2 to 3 hours from most research sources. In the traffic data sourced from Transport Department of HKSAR, around 82% of the personal injury in road accidents belongs to the driver's fault. This paper used the latest technology and applied it to a group of transport vehicles, i.e. taxi. The objective is set up to monitor, record and analyze the fatigue and drowsiness situation of drivers by means of advance

Authors: Antonio BADALA

Abstract: The study analyses the mechanical properties of the mortar samples collected from the surviving heritage masonry structures in eastern Sicily. The chemical attack was used to determine their composition: extracted purely lime-based binder mortars differ in the sand used according to the ancient recipe. Thus, new mortar samples were constructed to match those collected from the historical buildings. Their mechanical characteristic are, so, determined firstly at 30-60 days of curing and then after very long time of curing (20 years). More than 200 samples were tested under bending and compression. The data were compared each other in order to evaluate the time influence on the mechanical propierties.

13. IMPROVING THE LIFETIME OF A RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR FOR DOMESTIC REFRIGERATOR

Authors: Samson Mekbib Atnaw , SEONG-WOO WOO

Abstract: To enhance the lifetime of a newly designed reciprocating compressor in a refrigerator, parametric accelerated life testing (ALT) were developed using new definitions of the sample size equation and the B1 life index. In 1st ALT, compressor was locked due to the fracture of the suction reed valve. The failure modes and mechanisms of the suction reed valve in the accelerated tests were found to be similar to that of the failed product in the field. The root cause of the failure was the overlap between the suction reed valve and the valve plate in the suction port. The design faults in the design phase were modified by the trespan size, tumbling process, the material and thickness for the valve, a ball peening and brushing process for the valve plate. In 2nd ALT, compressor was locked due to the interference between the crank shaft and thrust washer. The corrective plan was to give heat treat the surface of crank shaft. During the third ALT, there were no problems. The B1 life of the com

16. REALIZATION OF A SMART FACTORY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE PROCESSING USING NFC

Authors: Dong-jin Lim , kuy-sik Kweon

Abstract: There are various types of manufacturing industries. The characteristic of the process industry is the production of products that have a continuous process and are difficult to shape. The need to build a smart factory is increasing in factories in the process industry. Due to the nature of continuous and atypical products, it is difficult to process production data. To solve this, we presented a methodology that utilizes an NFC sensor rather than handwriting data. To this end, the environment construction and design process, implementation of an analysis method through the pivot function of the EXCEL program, and information and intelligence methods for problem solving using data were presented. As a result, quantitative effects such as reduction of data duplication work and reduction of data processing time were obtained, and a method that can help to establish a smart factory in the process industry was derived.

17. RESEARCH ON PREVENTION AND IMPROVEMENT OF AC OVERCURRENT IN STATIC INVERTER

Authors: Fuh Shyong Yang , Go Long Tsai , Yu Ting Tseng

Abstract: The Static Inverter (SIV) failed occurs on the mainline of the EMU. It must be repaired and reset by the main work shop after the passenger evacuation, which will result in great loss in operation. The main purpose of this study is to find the root cause which influences the SIV abnormal performance. Through fault tree analysis (FTA) method and laboratory test, we found that sensor feedback is the main factor, not the SIV device self. The improvement is to add the limiter device at the position after the ramp starting in the current controller output. The voltage command will not rise rapidly when the static inverter (SIV) starts, then it will be verified by following the validation steps in the laboratory. These results can be used for reference in other railway systems. Whether it is a Static Inverter (SIV) in the form of GTO or IGBT, Inverter AC Over-Current (IAOC) issues can be solved.

Authors: MOSHE EBEN-CHAIME

Abstract: In 1997, the term critical chain was coined as an expansion of the critical path in project management and gained much popularity. The critical path has been a major breakthrough in modern management as it facilitates project management, thereby enabling effective and efficient management of gigantic projects almost independent of their size. The basic structure is the precedence diagram of the project, a directed graph which shows the project's logic the dependencies between the activities of the project. Adding estimated duration to each activity creates the project network. The longest path in this network is the critical path, whose length is a lower bound on the duration of the project. A major flaw of the critical path method is the disregard of the required resources and their availability, which might have significant effects on the project's schedule. Resource requirements and constraints are the primary concern of critical chains. However, there are much confusion and misconc

21. ON NEURAL ARTISTIC STYLE TRANSFER FOR TRADITIONAL CHINESE PAINTING

Authors: Chao-Hsiang Hung , Hsin-Yu Chen , Kan-Lin Hsiung

Abstract: Painting is a popular form of art. Style transfer is the technique of recomposing images in the style of other images. In the past, it takes lots of time for a well-trained artist to redraw an image in a particular style. Recently, inspired by the power of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Gatys et al. published a frontier paper [1] on how it was actually possible to reproduce famous painting styles on natural images. The main idea behind their proposed algorithm is to iteratively optimize an image with the objective of matching desired CNN feature distribution, which involves both the artwork's style information and the photo's content information. With the appearance of a given artwork, their proposed algorithm successfully produces fantastic stylized images. The seminal work of Gatys et al. has attracted much attention from both industry and academia. In this brief note, we present some preliminary results on neural artistic style transfer for traditional Chinese painting
