Wet multi-disk clutch, a power switching device of the ducted fan, was optimized and results were analyzed. The clutch was divided into two types depending on whether a mechanical lock-up was applied or not. It was optimized under each design condition. Transfer torque capacity, friction material surface pressure, friction surface temperature, and drag torque were calculated as factors to optimize the clutch. The volume of separator plate and drag torque were used as the objective function for optimization. In the case of Type 1, which did not include a mechanical lock-up, the clutch could be operated regardless of the pitch angle of the ducted fan. However, the outer diameter of the friction surface was doubled, the volume was increased by 5~7 times, and the drag torque was increased by 7~12 times compared to those of Type 2, which included a mechanical lock-up.

한 첩씩 복용하는 알약은 복용 여부를 정확히 판별하기 어렵다. 그래서 이러한 상황에서 벗어나고자 만든 스마트 약통을 제안하고 있다. 이 스마트 약통은 약의 오남용을 방지하고, 날짜별 복용 여부를 휴대폰 어플로 알려주는 장점을 가지고 있다. 장기간 복용하는 약은 한 번의 내원으로 많은 양의 약을 처방받아 오기 때문에 기억력이 좋지 않은 어른이 사용하기에 유용하다. 처방 받은 약통에 있는 QR코드를 최초 입력함으써 약 3일 정도의 데이터 수집기간을 통해 평균 복용시간을 인식하고, 평균 복용시간을 인식한 후에 약 먹을 시간을 알려주는 기능을 탑재하였다. 평상시에는 잠금장치를 통해 걸어 열 수 없게 프로그램을 설정하고, 복용시간에만 잠금장치를 해제하여 환자의 약물 오남용을 막고 안전하게 복용할 수 있을 것이다.

Self-closing drawers are used in high-end products, such as furniture, home appliances, and a range of other storage devices. In this study, a self-closing mechanism is proposed. A system consisting of a friction latch, constant force spring, rotary damper with rack, and pinion is developed. The retracting drawer can be latched at any position and can be reactivated by simple touch. The constant force spring and rotary damper offer smooth closing action. The ergonomic quality of the closing action is quantified by an index based on velocity-time behavior. The effects of various design parameters are analyzed with a dynamics model and experimentally validated by prototype testing.
