The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a non-elastic fixation belt on the balance ability and fall prevention in elderly women. Elderly women experience reduced balance ability and an increased risk of falls due to a weakening of the surrounding sacroiliac joint and pelvic muscles during childbirth and menopause. On the other hand, specific studies are still needed. The subjects were allocated randomly to two groups: control (n=20) and experimental (n=20). The experimental group used a non-elastic fixation belt, whereas the control group had no fixation belt. The balance ability and the fall index were measured in all subjects using a balance measurement device, and the low abdominal muscle thickness was determined in the experimental group using ultrasound imaging for the exact application of the non-elastic fixation belt. The following statistical analysis was performed: an independent t-test for the general characteristics of the subjects, $2{\times}2$ analysis of variance with repeated measures for the balance and fall index score, and a paired t-test for the abdominal muscle thickness. The group ${\times}$ time interaction effect showed significant improvement in the General Stability Index (F1,38=47.24, p=0.001), Fourier Harmony Index (F1,38=88.83, p=0.001), Weight Distribution Index (F1,38=50.21, p=0.001), and Fall Index (F1,38=21.59, p=0.001). The thicknesses of the transverse abdominal (p=0.001) and internal oblique (p=0.001) muscles were increased significantly in the experimental group after using the non-elastic fixation belt. Overall, the application of a non-elastic fixation belt could be effective in improving the balance ability and fall prevention in elderly women.

In this study, we investigated the effects of five EMS lumbar back pressure belts produced on an anatomical basis on lumbar spine stabilization. Five core muscles were selected, including the urinal, vertebral column, endotracheal, external abdominal, and large back muscles, and patterns were designed using a conductive fabric considering the appropriate muscle shape and pain-causing points. We experimented with four motions to examine the effects of different EMS abdominal compression belts on lumbar spine stabilization. Five healthy men in their 20s were selected. The selection conditions include no back pain history for the past three months, no restricted movements through pre-inspection, and the muscular strength of the body should belong to the normal grade. Using SLR, the sequence of experimental actions was chosen from the following but not limited to left-hand, body-hand, and back-line forces. Resting between movements lasted for 2 min, and the experiments were conducted after wearing the EMS abdominal pressure belt. Electrical stimulation was applied for 10 min to increase blood flow and muscle activation. The statistics of the experimental results were analyzed for specific differences by conducting the Wilcoxon and Friedman tests with nonparametric tests. The ranking results of each pattern were successfully assessed in the order of 5, 4, 3, 1, 2 for the five patterns, and we could identify slightly more significant results for experimental behavior associated with each muscle movement. Patterns produced based on anatomy showed differentiated effects when electric stimulation was applied to each muscle in different shapes, which could improve the stabilization of the lumbar spine in everyday life or training to the public. Based on these results, subsequent research would focus on developing smart healthcare clothing that is practical in daily life by employing different anatomical mechanisms, depending on the back pain, to utilize trunk-type tights.

섬유산업은 fiber로부터 시작하여 yarn, fabric을 거쳐 최종 섬유제품인 clothing을 생산하는 긴 stream을 가지고 있으며, 이와 같이 여러 단계의 공정을 거치는 가운데 섬유물은 새로운 형태를 가지게 되며 부가가치가 형성된다. 특히 garments manufacturing 공정에는 fusing press기가 사용되는데 이 방식은 같은 각속도와 지름을 가진 cylinder로 구동되는 두 개의 상하 벨트구동기구와 내부에 열전식 heather로 구성되어 상하 벨트의 내부로 원단과 심지를 통과시키며 열을 가함으로써 원단과 심지를 접착시킨다.

Continuously variable transmission (CVT) mechanisms considered here is a V-belt drive with two variable-diameter pulleys and effective diameters. One pulley was set by a mechanical link while the other was spring-loaded to provide automatic correspondence. The center distance between the two variable-diameter pulleys was fixed. Experimental studies were executed to analyze efficiencies as change of its speed ratio.

There are two kinds of method to calculate the equivalent friction coefficients at V groove. One is to consider the firction in radial direction. The other is to neglect the friection in radial direction. The values calculated from the two methods is different of which ratio is in the range from two times to five times. So it is necessary to study which is correct in the view of force equilibrium and machine design.

본 논문에서는 트레드밀의 풀리 벨트를 통해 회전하는 앞 롤러와 러닝 벨트를 통해 회전하는 뒤 롤러의 경계조건과 하중조건을 적용하여 ANSYS로 구조해석을 수행하여, 변위(displacement), 응력 (stress), 변형률(strain)을 구하여 구조적 타당성을 검토하는데 있으며, 각각의 롤러를 모달해석을 통해 고유진동수(natural frequency)를 알아보고 얻어진 데이터 값을 통해 진동 발생 요소인 모터의 회전을 제어함으로서 공진(resonance) 현상을 피하는데 있다.

기술의 발달로 경제, 산업 분야에 큰 변화가 일어날 것으로 전망되는 가운데 기업 경영의 커다란 원동력으로 자리 잡은 기업가 정신의 중요성은 점점 더 부각되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 미국의 대표적 공업지대로 번창했다가 몰락한 러스트 벨트와 첨단 산업 중심지로 부상한 실리콘 밸리의 배경을 비교하여 살펴보고, 씨써클 관점의 기업가 정신을 통해 새로이 형성될 산업을 '골드 밸리'로 명칭하고 러스트 밸리에 적용하고자 한다.
