The garment industry is one of the most labor-intensive manufacturing industries, with its sewing process relying almost entirely on manual labor. Its costs highly depend on the efficiency of this production line and thus is crucial to determine the production rate in real-time for line balancing. However, current production tracking methods are costly and make it difficult for many Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) to implement them. As a result, their reliance on manual counting of finished products is both time consuming and prone to error, leading to high manufacturing costs and inefficiencies. In this paper, a production tracking system that uses the sewing machines' energy consumption data to track and count the total number of sewing tasks completed through Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) classifiers is proposed. This system was tested on two target sewing tasks, with a resulting maximum classification accuracy of 98.6%; all sewing tasks were detected. In the developing countries, the garment sewing industry is a very important industry, but the use of a lot of capital is very limited, such as applying expensive high technology to solve the above problem. Applied with the appropriate technology, this system is expected to be of great help to the garment industry in developing countries.

As the clothing materials have been more functional and advanced, the cotton fabrics for dress shirts or blouses have been more qualified and the sewability for high degree of completion has been required. This study aims to identify the seam strength depending on the change of stitch density of fine cotton fabrics by fabric and thread and so the general seam performance of fine cotton fabrics by analyzing the seam efficiency and breaking mode of seams. For an experiment, 3 kinds of fine cotton fabrics and 2 kinds of threads were selected and the sample was made by changing the stitch density by four steps. Then, the seam strength was measured. Next, the seam efficiency and breaking mode of seams were analyzed on the basis of the results of seam strength measurement. The results are as follows: All fabrics showed the similar tendency in seam strength. The seam strength is related to the tensile strength and thread strength, it increased only to a certain stitch density. When the stitch density exceeded a certain level, fabrics were destroyed or threads were cut. Then, the seam strength didn't increase. Furthermore, the more the seam strength increased, the more the seam efficiency increased. For increasing the maximum stitch density, it was required to use the fabrics and threads which had similar properties, in other words, the high thread strength for the high tensile strength and the low thread strength for the high tensile strength.

In this study, seam strength, seam elongation and seam efficiency of polyurethane coated fabrics were examined under various sewing conditions using three kinds of fabrics, four kinds of sewing threads and three kinds of stitch lengths. And the sewability of polyurethane coated fabrics were evaluated by FAST system. The results were as follows: 1. Seam strength decreased with the increase of stitch length. The loop strength of sewing thread and the type of base fabric than the type of coated surface had an effect on seam strength. 2. Seam elongation also decreased with the increase of stitch length and was affected by the type of base fabric. The tensile elongation of polyurethans coated fabric had an effect on seam elongation. 3. Sean efficiency also was related to stitch length, the type of base fabric, and seam strength. The suitable seam efficiency was within 50%∼65% in which polyurethane coated fabric and sewing thread broke at the same time. Therefore PS thin and PPC thin sewing threads and 3mm stitch length were suitable to polyurethane coated fabrics. 4. The relaxation shrinkage(RS) of polyurethane coated fabric was smaller than the smallest value of control chart in FAST system. And the extensibility(E) and the shear rigidity(G) were larger than the largest value.

지난 수년동안 정부출연(연)의 연구개발활동의 효율화를 도모하기 위하여 정부와 과학기술계에서 논의되어 왔던 출연(연)의 석박사 교육과정 설립에 관하여 출연(연)관련자들의 의견을 모아 구체적인 설립모델을 제시하였다. 먼저 정부출연(연)에 석박사 교육과정 설치가 필요한 이유와 기대효과를 제시하고, 다음으로 단설대학원의 설립모델로는 크게 3가지 유형이 고려되었다. 가장 중요한 설립목적 및 기대효과로는 출연(연)의 목표지향적(mission-oriented) 연구에 파급지향적(diffusion-oriented) 메카니즘을 도입함으로써 출연(연)의 연구성과가 경제사회로 효과적으로 이전될 수 있도록 하기 위함이다. 단설대학원의 설립모델로서 첫째 유형은 각 출연(연)이 교육과정을 운영하는 개별대학원 모델이다. 이는 출연(연)의 연구기능과 교육기능을 현장에서 융합시켜 운영하는 것으로 설립이 비교적 용이하며 개별 출연(연)의 특수성을 살릴 수 있다. 출자형식으로 별도의 학교법인을 설립하는 방식과 내부규정으로 부설대학원을 설치운영하는 두 가지 방식 있을 수 있다. 둘째 유형은 출연(연) 연합대학원 모델이다. 출연(연)들이 연합으로 하나의 학교 법인을 설립하고 여기에 각 출연(연)들이 공동운영자로서 참여하는 방식이다 이때 연합대학원은 일종의 Virtual University 형태를 취하며 모든 교육은 참여 출연(연)에서 이루어지는 형태이다. 세 번째는 대학과 출연(연)이 연계대학원을 운영하는 모델이다. 대학의 대학원을 개방하여 출연(연) 측과 공동으로 운영하는 것으로 이는 별도의 학교법인 설립이 필요없다. 본 연구에서는 KAIST와의 연계대학원을 고찰하였다. 본 연구에서는 이들 각각의 모델에 대한 의미와 장점, 단점을 비교분석하고, 각 모델로 설립시의 법적 고려사항, 그리고 학사운영체제 등에 관해 구체적으로 고려하였다. 추가적으로 단설대학원의 설립에 관한 그간의 반대 및 우려사항에 대한 검토도 첨부하였다.한다. 선진국의 경우에도 우선 지원분야에 대한 연구비 배분은 5-10%사이이다.

The computational cost of clothing simulation and rendering is mainly depends on the type of mesh and its quality. Thus, quadrilateral meshes are generally preferred over triangular meshes for the reasons of accuracy and efficiency. This paper presents a method of quadrangulating sewing pattern based on the recursive geometry decomposition method. Herein, we proposed two simple improvements to the previous algorithms. The first one deals with the recursive geometry decomposition in which the physical domain is decomposed into simple and mappable regions. The second proposed algorithm deals with the vertex validation in which the invalid vertex classification can be validated.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the direct investment decision factors in the Kaesong Industrial Complex and Vietnam, and to contribute to the creation of domestic jobs and the revitalization of the inter-Korean economy. According to the analysis, most of the Kaesong Industrial Complex and Vietnamese investment companies are entering the complex for the purpose of utilizing cheap labor, cheap factory locations, sales/development of local markets, and bypass export production bases in third countries. This can be divided into production-efficient investors using differences in production price such as labor costs and market-oriented investors to sell and expand the local market, which seems to be consistent with global direct investment patterns such as Nike, Apple, and Amazon. However, even if the North Korea-U.S. denuclearization talks ease or lift sanctions, Vietnamese investors' willingness to invest in the North Korea has been most burdened by the possibility of closing special economic zones due to political risks. Last but not least, it is important to note that those willing to invest in North Korea are mostly smaller enterprises in textiles, sewing, footwear and leather industries-those that benefit from low-cost labor. Since their size is small, they need policy support in financing, especially in the early stages of their business. Even after they grow past the early stages, those without collateral would still need state guarantee letters to get financing. Thus, it is worth considering to use the Inter-Korean Cooperation Fund to compensate commercial banks for bad loan loss or for low-interest loans for smaller SMEs. The interviews with SMEs found that red-tape is one of the biggest difficulties they face. Thus, it is recommended that a one-stop service agency should be established to cover all processes and issues related to inter-Korean economic cooperation to eliminate redundancy and expediate government support for SMEs.
