Our study is to verify validation of exercise effect that developing exercise and rehabilitation instrument using pneumatic actuators available rehabilitation and healthcare, while at the same time safer and more convenient for the user to select the desired exercise. Shares subject to the usual exercise is conducted in less than a week in the knee extension and flexion at the undergraduate level there is no more than 10 of the 20 patients were female. Subject performed knee exercise 3 set a day with 12times a set using fluid type exercise instrument and pneumatic exercise instrument that build in this study. Experiment has progressed in 4-weeks with 3-days a week. Our exercise load consist of two type. One is active exercise load with developed instrument in our study and the other one is passive exercise load with fluid instrument. Exercise program based on real-time muscle activation patterns and muscle activity before and after exercise by comparing the effects of exercise for rehabilitation has been verified. The results showed that muscular activity is higher in active exercise load than passive load, and improvement of muscle strength more increased too. Equipment more user-centered exercise more effectively exercise may enhance muscle strength was found. This study can adapt rehabilitation program and exercise for patient and weaker. Also our system can provide easily and convenient prescription of rehabilitation for expert related rehabilitation.

Pneumatic control system has been applied to build many industrial automation systems. But most of them are sequence control type because of their low costs, safety, reliability, etc. Pneumatic servo system is rarely applied to real industrial fields because accurate position control is very difficult due to its nonlinearity and compressibility of air. In pneumatic servo control system, a pneumatic servo valve can be applied, But it is very expensive and has no advantage of low cost compared with a common pneumatic system. This paper is concerned with the accurate position control of a rodless pneumatic cylinder using on/off solenoid valve. A novel Intelligent Modified Pulse Width Modulation(MPWM) is newly proposed. The control performance of this pneumatic cylinder depends on the external loads. To overcome this problem, switching of control parameter using artificial neural network is newly proposed, which estimates external loads on rodless pneumatic cylinder using this training neural network. As an underlying controller, a state feedback controller using position, velocity and acceleration is applied in the switching control the system. The effectiveness of the proposed control algorithms are demonstrated through experiments nth various loads.

본 논문에서는 chamfer가 없는 경우에도 조립이 가능한 로봇 조립용 손목기구를 개발하였다. 손목기구에서는 chamfer있는 경우에 우수란 적응능력을 가지는 RCC(Remote Center Compliance) 구조가 이용되었으며 위치측정용 sensor와 공압 actuator를 이용하여 조립시 생기는 RCC 구조의 변형을 측정하여 이로부터 능동적으로 오차를 교정하도록 하였다. sensor signal로부터 적절한 오차교정방향을 찾아내는 algorithm 으로는 신경회로망을 이용하였으며 이 결과 손목기구의 비선형성에도 잘 적응함을 볼 수 있었다. 제작된 로봇 조립용 손목을 이용하여 chamferless part의 조립을 실험한 결과 clearance ratio가 0.02인 경우 eccentricity가 2mm 까지 오차교정이 가능함을 볼 수 있었다.

본딩은 전기/전자 시스템뿐만 아니라 연료, 엔진, 비행제어, 유/공압계통 등에서도 안전한 전기적인 운용을 하기 위해서 필요하다. 항공기 개발에서 본딩은 설계시부터 요구조건을 두어 엄격히 관리해야 하며, 제작시에도 제시된 요구조건에 맞게 본딩을 해야 한다. 항공기의 전기/전자계통 설계시 요구성능과 항공기 및 운용자의 안전성 확보를 본딩 계통의 설계목표로 설정하고, 세부적인 본딩 요구조건과 유사기종의 설계개념을 보완하여 현실적으로 적용가능한 적용분야별 본딩 설치 및 설계 요구조건을 정립하는 것이 매우 필수적이라고 판단된다. 이 글에서는 항공기 설계시 고려해야 되는 본딩 일반요구조건에 대하여 기술해 보고자 한다.

Pneumatic system has been mainly used as main equipment for actuation and control of compressed air force in manufacturing industry, pneumatic circuit for the most part is used in Meter-Out circuit. Meter-Out circuit method is Flow Control Valve to fit in exhaust part of cylinder port. In the reverse, Meter-In circuit is Flow Control Valve to fit in input part of cylinder port. This study examines the dynamic characteristics comparison of Meter-In and Meter-Out Circuits in the pneumatic circuits. The results of the experimental research are obtained to the followings: i ) System Response is Meter-In Circuit more than Meter-Out one before cushion zone. ii) we conjectured that the collision of piston and head cover is ease to collide Meter-In Circuit more than Meter-Out one at the stroke end part.

보는 수로나 하천의 수위를 조절하고 취수 등의 편의를 제공하기 위해 건설되는 하천 구조물이다. 일반적인 보(고정보)는 상시 담수 되어 농업용수, 생활용수, 공업용수 등의 취수원으로 활용되지만, 최근에 설치되는 보(가동보)들은 수문을 설치하여 필요에 따라 수위를 조절할 수 있게 되어 있다. 이와 같은 보의 운영은 보 상류의 유속, 수심, 흐름 특성, 하천 형상 등의 변화를 발생시킨다. 특히 하류 보는 운영현황에 따라 하천 흐름에 직접적인 영향을 주기 때문에 하천 흐름 특성에 핵심적인 요소로 볼 수 있다. 따라서 이에 대한 모니터링이 필요하며 이에 따른 수위-유량관계를 규명할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 함평천 유역에 위치한 함평군(영수교)관측소를 대상으로 하류 약 1.3km에 위치한 개량형 공압식 가동보의 2021년 기립각도 변화에 대한 보 모니터링을 실시하여 수위-유량관계 변화를 분석하였다. 2021년에는 가동보의 기립각도 변화 및 취수조건에 따라 총 37회의 수위관측 및 유량측정을 하였으며 총 29회의 가동보의 기립각도를 계측하였다. 2021년 전반기에는 부분개방1, 부분개방2, 부분개방3, 완전개방, 취수조건으로 기간 분리되었고 후반기에는 완전개방, 부분개방3, 부분개방4, 부분개방5 조건으로 가동보의 기립각도에 따라 총 6개의 기간분리가 발생하였다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서는 하류 가동보 운영현황에 대한 보 모니터링과 흐름 특성이 변화하는 기간의 유량측정성과 확보를 통해 신뢰도 높은 수위-유량관계곡선식을 개발하였고 이를 통해 생산된 유량자료는 정확도가 매우 높은 것으로 분석되었다.

Ten acute and chronic in vivo studies were utilized to develop a pneumatic ventricular assist device (VAD) as a bridge to heart transplantation or a circulatory assist device for patients with end-stage heart disease or poor myocardial funct on after cardiac surgery. Two sizes of blood pump of 70cc for adult patients and 34cc for pediatric patients were implanted in the animals. Ventricle of the blood pump was made from the polyurethaae to enhance antithrombogenecity. The VAD was implanted between the left atrium and the descending aorta. Average flow rate was 2.38 L/min for adult and 0.41 L/min for pediatric VAD at the rate of 60 bum. The duration of support ranged from 1 to 26 hours. The most frequent complication was bleeding. Main causes of death were heart failure and respiratory failure. The device function was good for short term use. Studies to date suggest that, with further refinement, a reliable long term VAD that will have clinical application can be developed.

The subject of basic fluid power practice which is used in various industries requiring factory automation aims at understanding of the composition and operating principles of pneumatic components and programming of electric sequential circuits, building the design ability of pneumatic system. This subject goes by 3 hour classes with theory and practice side by side. So it is not enough time to instruct students various contents related in this subject. In this research a supplementary learing using E-learning is proposed as a solution for this problem. The off-line classes of this subject went with E-learning side by side and analyzed the effects of E-learning as a supplementary learning through the students survey who attended the class. And further needed research is presented.

In this study, the exoskeleton orthosis for the assistance of dorsiflexion torque in ankle joint to prevent foot-drop was developed. It was consist of three part; 1) the power part using artificial pneumatic actuator, 2) wearing part of ankle and knee joints to fix the orthosis, and 3) control part to detect the gait phase using physiological signal. The dorsiflexion torque was generated by the artificial pneumatic actuator connected with wearing part between ankle and knee joint. The accurate timing to assist dorsiflexion torque is made up of physiological signal in foot sole part that detect the gait phase, that is, stance and swing phase in each foot. We conduct the experiment to investigate the effect of exoskeleton orthosis to the 7 elderly people and 10 healthy people. The result showed that the muscular activities in tibialis anterior muscle were reduced because of the assistance of dorsiflexion torque in ankle joint using the exoskeleton orthosis.
