This study has been doing research and development of 3-dimensional measurement method using the image processing technique for the measurement of dynamic displacement in shake table test. This measurement system is a very convenient system because it can measure the three-dimensional dynamic displacement in shake table test in which the several makers are only attached to the surface of an experimental structure. The system therefore is the most suitable measurement system for an evaluation of complex 3-dimensional behavior of experimental model. Fundamental hardware and software for the measurement system have been constructed until now. The fundamental dynamic measurement accuracy and effectiveness of the measurement system have been also confirmed from several shake table tests. This paper describes the dynamic measurement accuracy in shake table test in with the experimental model has several rotational behaviors, and also summarizes the synthetic performance of the proposed measurement system.

In this paper, the dynamic measurement accuracy in three measurement units on the assumption of practical use is described from the results of shake table tests in National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention using the collapse building and the inverted pendulum model.

In recent years, the importance of the fracturing test using the full-scale model is recognized in order to upgrade an earthquake resistant design. It is, moreover, important to develop a new measurement method which can measure a complex three-dimensional behaviour in such fracturing test. This study has been doing research and development of three-dimensional measurement method using an image processing technique for a measurement of dynamic displacement in shake table test without any contact. This measurement system is a very convenient system because it can measure the three-dimensional dynamic displacement in the simple experimental condition that the several makers are only attached to the surface of an experimental structure. The system therefore is the most suitable measurement system for an evaluation of complex 3-dimensional behavior of test model. Fundamental hardware and software for the measurement system has been constructed until now. The fundamental dynamic measurement accuracy and effectiveness of the measurement system has been also confirmed from several shake table tests. This paper describes the examination of the upgrading for the measurement accuracy in actual fracturing test. Moreover, the shake table test results using actual wooden house model were also indicated.

The objective of this paper is to classify Brain Computer Interfacing (BCI) competition III, dataset IIIA with low computational complexity and high classification accuracy rate. This study presents the investigation of self-filtering (SF) as a pre-processing technique and Wigner trispectrum as feature extraction technique followed by the proposed [Formula: see text]-means clustering SVM (KC-SVM) classifier. KC-SVM is an improved form of classifier, which comprises KC-SVM with 10-fold cross validation technique. To analyze each stage of classification, different evaluation indexes of respective methods are considered. Substantial improvement on the performance of proposed classification method is scrutinized. Performance measurement accuracy 98.1%, Kappa coefficient 0.94, mutual information of feature vectors 0.14 and Fisher score 6.5 are achieved for considered dataset. In summary, this paper demonstrates that the classification accuracy of proposed classifier together with SF and Wigner–Ville Trispectrum (WT) satisfies the required criteria of classification.

One of the advantages of scanning electron microscopy is the capability for processing the image contrast, i.e., the image processing technique. Crewe et al were the first to apply this technique to a field emission scanning microscope and show images of individual atoms. They obtained a contrast which depended exclusively on the atomic numbers of specimen elements (Zcontrast), by displaying the images treated with the intensity ratio of elastically scattered to inelastically scattered electrons. The elastic scattering electrons were extracted by a solid detector and inelastic scattering electrons by an energy analyzer. We noted, however, that there is a possibility of the same contrast being obtained only by using an annular-type solid detector consisting of multiple concentric detector elements.

The earliest distinctive lesions in human atherosclerosis are fatty streaks (FS), characterized initially by lipid-laden foam cell formation. Fibrous plaques (FP), the clinically significant lesions, differ from FS in several respects. In addition to foam cells, the FP also exhibit fibromuscular proliferation and a necrotic core region rich in extracellular lipid. The possible transition of FS into mature FP has long been debated, however. A subset of FS described by Katz etal., was intermediate in lipid composition between ordinary FS and FP. We investigated this hypothesis by electron microscopic cytochemistry by employing a tissue processing technique previously described by our laboratory. Osmium-tannic acid-paraphenylenediamine (OTAP) tissue preparation enabled ultrastructural analysis of lipid deposits to discern features characteristic of mature fibrous plaques.

Industrial microwave heating technology has emerged as a new ceramic processing technique. The unique advantages of fast sintering, high density, and improved materials properties makes it superior in certain respects to other processing methods. This work presents the structure characterization of a microwave sintered ceramic matrix composite.Commercial α-alumina powder A-16 (Alcoa) is chosen as the matrix material, β-silicon carbide whiskers (Third Millennium Technologies, Inc.) are used as the reinforcing element. The green samples consisted of 90 vol% Al2O3 powder and 10 vol% ultrasonically-dispersed SiC whiskers. The powder mixture is blended together, and then uniaxially pressed into a cylindrical pellet under a pressure of 230 MPa, which yields a 52% green density. The sintering experiments are carried out using an industry microwave system (Gober, Model S6F) which generates microwave radiation at 2.45 GHz with a maximum output power of 6 kW. The composites are sintered at two different temperatures (1550°C and 1650°C) with various isothermal processing time intervals ranging from 10 to 20 min.

When the size of a semiconductor is reduced by an appropriate materials processing technique to a dimension less than about twice the radius of an exciton in the bulk crystal, the band like structure of the semiconductor gives way to discrete molecular orbital electronic states. Clusters of semiconductors in a size regime lower than 2R {where R is the exciton Bohr radius; e.g. 3 nm for CdS and 7.3 nm for CdTe) are called Quantum Dots (QD) because they confine optically excited electron- hole pairs (excitons) in all three spatial dimensions. Structures based on QD are of great interest because of fast response times and non-linearity in optical switching applications.In this paper we report the first HREM analysis of the size and structure of CdTe and CdS QD formed by precipitation from a modified borosilicate glass matrix. The glass melts were quenched by pouring on brass plates, and then annealed to relieve internal stresses. QD precipitate particles were formed during subsequent "striking" heat treatments above the glass crystallization temperature, which was determined by differential thermal analysis.
