The purpose of this study was to analyze the kinetic factors of the golf driver swing using the Inverse Dynamics function. For this purpose, joint force were calculated. In order to test the possibility of Inverse Dynamics function(motion-dependent interaction), a triple segmental system was set for wrist, left shoulder and lumbar and joint force working on the anatomical joint region was estimated. For this study, 7 professional golfers were sampled, and then, their driver swings were recorded with two high-speed digital video cameras (180 frames/sec.) to be synthesized into 3-dimensional images and coordinated. Then, Eular's equation was used to produce some kinematic data, which were used to calculate joint force and torque with Newton's function. All data were calculated using LabVIEW 6.1 graphic program. The results of this study can be summarized as follows; It was found that the joint force was generated on wrist, shoulder and lumbar joints in the direction of the target, and that the joint force was stronger in the direction of target immediately before impact. The joint force was generated towards the target to activate the nodes, and then, it was generated in the reverse direction to increase the speed during impact.

The purpose of this study was to determine how spandex wear with compressive band affects biomechanical parameters during a golf swing. Nine male golf players, each with at least 6 years golf experienc(handy 4.5${\pm}$5.4), were recruited as the participants. Eight pairs of surface electrodes were attached to the left and right side of the body to monitor the pectoralis major(PM), external abdominal oblique(AO), erector spinae(ES), and vastus lateralis(VL). This study showed that the angular velocity of the club in EG were increased during the down swing phase but X-Factor and X-factor Stretch were reduced. Average and maximum nEMG (normalized EMG) values of the left AO(external abdominal oblique) were less in EG(experimental group) compared with CG(control group) during the back swing, whereas those of left PM(pectoralis major) in EG were greater than CG. It is more likely that EG performed effectively golf swing without excess muscle activity. Thus, the spandex wear with compressive band played an important role in improving swing performance with injury prevention. This has led to suggestions of the need for further kinetic and kinematic analyses to evaluate its function.

A shared-capacitor charge-sharing ROM (SCCS-ROM) using dummy bit lines is proposed. The SCCS-ROM reduces the bit line swing voltage using the charge-sharing technique of the conventional charge-sharing ROM (CS-ROM). Although the CS-ROM needs three small capacitors per output bit, the proposed SCCS-ROM shares the capacitors so that it needs only three capacitors. The SCCS-ROM implements the capacitors using dummy bit lines. This not only increases noise immunity but also reduces power. A SCCS-ROM with 8K${\times}$15bits implemented in a 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS process. The SCCS-ROM consumes 8.63㎽ at 100MHz with 3.3V The simulation results show that the SCCS-ROM reduces 8.4% power compared to the CS-ROM.

본 논문에서는 영상 정보와 오디오 정보 분석을 이용하여 TV 골프 방송 프로그램에서 중요 이벤트 구간을 검출하고 요약 하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘에서는 입력되는 TV 골프 동영상을 영상 신호와 오디오 신호로 분리한 후에, 연속적인 오디오 스트림을 내용 기반의 오디오 구간으로 분류한 뒤 오디오 이벤트 구간을 검출하고, 이와 병렬적으로 영상정보에서 선수들의 플레이 장면을 검출한다. 플레이 장면 검출에 있어서는 방송 환경이나 날씨 등의 변화하는 다양한 조건에 대해 플레이 장면에 대한 오프라인 모델과 함께 경기 내에서 발생한 온라인 모델에 대한 학습을 혼합 적용함으로써 검출 성능을 높였다. 오디오 신호로부터 관중들의 박수소리와 스윙 사운드를 통해 검출된 오디오 이벤트와 플레이 장면은 이벤트 장면 검출 및 요약본 생성을 위해 사용된다. 제안된 알고리즘은 멀티 모달 정보를 이용하여 이벤트 구간 검출을 수행함으로써 중요 이벤트 구간 검출의 정확도를 높일 수 있었고, 검출된 이벤트 구간에 대한 요약본 생성을 통해 골프 경기를 시청하는 사용자가 원하는 부분을 빠르게 브라우징하여 시청하는 것이 가능하여 높은 사용자 만족도를 얻을 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the golf swing motion for a soft golf clubs and regular golf club. Soft golf is a newly developed recreational sports for all ages, including the elderly and the beginners of golf. To quantify the effect of using soft golf club, which much lighter club than regular clubs, a motion analysis has been performed using a 3D optoelectric motion tracking system that utilizes active infrared LEDs and near-infrared sensors. The subject performed swing motion using a regular golf club and a soft golf club in turn. The obtained motion capture data was used to build a 3D computer simulation model to obtain left wrist, elbow shoulder and lumbar joint force and torque using inverse and forward dynamics calculations. The joint force and torque during soft golf swing were lower than regular golf swing. The analysis gave better understanding of the effectiveness of the soft golf club.

The purpose of this study was to assess knee joint loading in the target knee during a golf swing compared to loading rates of high impact activities such as cutting and drop landings. Nine healthy competitive golfers completed golf swings with the target foot both straight and externally rotated 30 degrees, as well as drop landings and cutting maneuvers. Motion capture data was collected at 240 Hz and ground reaction force data was collected at 2400 Hz. The frontal and transverse knee moments were examined using repeated measures ANOVA through SPSS. The abduction moments were higher in golf swings as compared to the other high impact activities (p=.010), while the external rotation moments were lower (p=.003). There were no significant differences between externally rotated and neutral golf swings. These results suggest moments applied to the knee during a golf swing are similar to those applied during a high impact activity.

We analyzed the electrical characteristics of platinum silicide schottky junction to develope the voltage swing in Integrated Schottky Logic gates, and simulated the characteristics with the programs in this junctions. Simulation programs for analytic characteristics are the Medichi tool for device structure, Matlab for modeling and SUPREM V for fabrication process. The silicide junctions consist of PtSi and variable silicon substrate concentrations in ISL gates. Input parameters for simulation characteristics were the same conditions as process steps of the device farications process. The analitic electrical characteristics were the turn-on voltage, saturation current, ideality factor in forward bias, and has shown the results of breakdown voltage between actual characteristics and simulation characteristics in reverse bias. As a result, the forward turn-on voltage, reverse breakdown voltage, barrier height were decreased but saturation current and ideality factor were increased by substrates increased concentration variations.

The purpose of this study was to describe and compare the selected electromyographical muscle activities of trunk and hip during Professional and Amateur golfer's Iron swing. Using surface electromyography, we evaluated muscle activities in 6 male professional golfers and 6 male amateur golfers during the golf iron swing. Surface electrodes were used to record the level of muscle activity in the right abdominal oblique, left abdominal oblique, right erector spinae, left erector spinae, right rectus abdominis, left rectus abdominis, right gluteus maximus, left gluteus maximus muscles during the golfer's swing. These signals were compared with IEMG(Integrated EMG) which was normalized by %RVC(Reference voluntary contraction). The golf swing was divided into three phases: take away, forward swing-acceleration, follow-through. We observed patterns of trunk muscle activity throughout three phases of the golf swing. The results can be summarized as follows: LES(Left Erector spinae) had statistically significant difference in take away and forward swing-acceleration phases. It was showed no significant difference in follow-through phase.

This paper proposes an adaptive robust control method for an acrobot system in the presence of input disturbance. The acrobot system is a typical example of the underactuated system with complex nonlinearity and strong dynamic coupling. Also, disturbance can cause limit cycle phenomenon which appears in the acrobot system around the desired unstable equilibrium point. To minimize the effect of the disturbance, we apply a fuzzy disturbance estimation method for the swing-up and balancing control of the acrobot system. In this paper, both disturbance observer and controller for the acrobot system are designed and verified through mathematical proof and simulations.
