Objectives: Nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) rotary instruments have some unexpected disadvantages including the tendency to screw-in to the canal. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of root canal curvatures on the screw-in effect of Ni-Ti rotary files. Materials and Methods: A total of 80 simulated root canals in clear resin blocks were used in the study. Canals with curvature of 0, 10, 20 and 30 degrees were instrumented with ProTaper instruments SX, S1, S2 and a ProFile of #25/0.06 to 1.0-2.0 mm beyond the initial point of root curvature. The screw-in force was measured with a specially designed device while canal was instrumented with a ProFile of #30/0.06 at a constant speed of 300 rpm. The data were subjected to one-way ANOVA and Scheffe multiple range test for post-hoc test. Results: Larger degree of canal curvature generated significantly lesser screw-in forces in all groups (p < 0.001). Conclusions: More attention needs to be paid when using rotary instruments in canals with less curvature than canals with more curvatures to prevent or reduce any accidental overinstrumentation.

The cure and rheological behavior of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F/nadic methyl anhydride resin system with the kinds of imidazole were studied using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and a rotational rheometer. The isothermal traces were employed to analyze cure reaction. The DGEBF/ anhydride conversion profiles showed autocatalyzed reaction characterized by maximum conversion rate at $20{\sim}40 %$ of the reaction. The rate constants ($k_1,\;k_2$) showed temperature dependance, but reaction order did not. The reaction order (m+n) was calculated to be close to 3. There are two reaction mechanisms with the kinds oi catalyst. The gel time was determined by using G'-G" crossover method, and the activation energy was obtained from this results. From measurement of rheological properties it was found that the logarithmic 1:elation time of fused silica filled DBEBF epoxy compounds linearly increased with the content of filler and decreased with temperature. The highly filled epoxy compounds showed typical pseudoplastic behavior, and the viscosity of those decreased with increasing maximum packing ratio.

Purpose: Misfit of implant components was very important in terms of prosthodontics. they has been linked to prosthetic complications such as screw loosening and fracture. Although there are many results about rotational freedom or machining tolerance between fixture and abutments, the data about domestic implant systems are lacking. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the rotational freedom of domestic external and internal connection implant systems between their fixtures/anlaogs and abutments comparing imported systems. Materials and Methods: Rotational freedom between abutments and fixtures/analogs was investigated by using digitalized rotational angle measuring device. (1) 1 domestic external connection system(Neobiotec) and 2 imported external connection systems(Nobel Biocare, Anthorgyr), (2) 1 domestic internal connection system(Dentium) and 4 imported external connection systems(Nobel Biocare, Anthorgyr, Straumann, Frident Dentsply), and (3) 1 domestic zirconia external connection abutment(ZirAce) were evaluated. Each group has 3 samples. Mean values for each group were analyzed. Results: The differences relative to rotational freedom between domestic and imported implant systems were observed but domestic external connection implant system showed about 2.67 degrees(in case of fixture) and internal connection system showed about 4.3 degrees(in case of fixture). Domestic zirconia abutment showed less than 3 degrees of rotational freedom in a situation where the abutment was connected to an implant fixture egardless of domestic or imported systems. Conclusion: Newly developed digitalized rotational angle measuring device has high measuring resolution. The rotational freedom of domestic implant systems were similar to imported implant systems.

현재 국내의 경우 4륜 승용관리기가 개발되었으나 성능 미비와 편이성 부족으로 승용관리기 및 부속 작업기 보급이 매우 저조한 상태이다. 3륜 승용관리기는 작업기 복부 장착으로 작업의 정밀도, 편이성, 관측의 용이성 향상과 함께 지상고 제고, 차폭 조절, 조향 등의 성능 개선을 기할 수 있다. 국내에서는 3륜 승용관리기용 복부 장착 부속작업기가 거의 개발되어 있지 않으며, 특히 두류 재배에 있어서 일관기계화 작업을 위한 관리작업기의 개발은 매우 필요한 실정이다. 승용관리기에 의한 중경제초는 잡초방제는 물론 물 빠짐과 토양 속 통기가 좋아지고, 지온 조절, 쓰러짐 방지, 부정근 발생을 조장하여 콩의 생육과 결실을 좋게 함으로써 수량이 증가되는 효과가 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 3륜 승용관리기에 적합한 복부장착형의 중경제초기를 설계 제작하였다. 3륜 승용관리기용 중경제초기는 승용관리기의 복부 PTO에서의 구동력 전달을 위한 연결 조인트, 중간축, 기어 및 체인 전동기구, 구동축으로 구성된 동력전달부, 중경제초를 위한 5개의 로타리 날과 후방 1개의 제초날로 구성된 3조의 작업날, 경심 조절을 위한 바퀴, 다양한 조간거리에 적응을 위한 조간조정 나사부, 흙의 비산 방지를 위한 로타리 날 커버 및 케이스, 3륜 승용관리기에의 부착을 위한 프레임 및 부착보조 작업기 이동용 바퀴장치 등으로 구성 설계 제작하였다. 로타리 날은 기존 시판 관리기용 로타리 중경 날을 사용하였는데 진행방향에 역으로 회전하도록 하였고, 날의 회전반경은 약 330 mm, 조당 경운 폭은 약 250 mm, 최대 경심 100 mm로 설계하였다. 조간거리의 조절범위는 수동나사에 의하여 620~900 mm 범위로 무단조절 할 수 있도록 하였다. 중경제초기는 3륜 승용 관리기 복부의 평행링크에 부착되므로 작업기의 이동 및 부착 편이성을 위하여 이동용 바퀴를 설치하였다. 제작된 중경제초기의 크기는 길이${\times}$폭${\times}$높이가 $660{\times}2072{\times}880mm$, 중량은 약 200 kg으로 제작되었다.

4륜 승용관리기는 보통 후방이나 전방에 작업기를 장착하여 작업하나 3륜 승용관리기는 작업기를 복부에 장착함으로 작업의 정밀도, 편이성, 관측의 용이성 향상과 함께 지상고 제고, 차폭 조절, 조향 등의 성능 개선을 기할 수 있다. 국내에서는 3륜 승용관리기용 복부 장착 부속작업기가 거의 개발되어 있지 않으며, 특히 두류 재배에 있어서 일관기계화 작업을 위한 관리작업기의 개발이 매우 필요한 실정이다. 승용관리기의 중경배토기에 의한 작업은 기존 인력에 의한 작업보다 약 87%의 노력을 절감할 수 있으며, 잡초방제 효과도 인력에 비하여 크게 떨어지지 않고, 수량도 증가하는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 3륜 승용관리기에 적합한 복부장착형의 중경배토기를 설계 제작하였다. 3륜 승용관리기용 중경배토기는 승용관리기의 복부 PTO에서의 구동력 전달을 위한 연결 조인트, 중간축, 기어 및 체인 전동기구, 구동축으로 구성된 동력전달부, 4개의 로타리 날과 후방 1개의 배토날로 구성된 3조의 작업날, 로타리 날과 배토날의 경심 조절을 위한 3조의 바퀴, 흙의 비산 방지를 위한 로타리날 커버 및 케이스, 다양한 조간거리에 적응을 위한 조간조정 나사부, 3륜 승용관리기에의 부착을 위한 프레임 및 부착보조 작업기 이동용 바퀴장치 등으로 구성 설계 제작하였다. 로타리 날과 배토날은 기존 시판 관리기용 날을 사용하였다. 로타리 날은 진행방향으로 회전하도록 하였으며, 날의 회전반경은 약 330 mm, 조당 경운 폭은 약 230 mm 설계하였다. 최대 경심은 100 mm이며, 조간거리의 조절범위는 수동 나사에 의하여 620~900 mm 범위로 무단조절 할 수 있도록 하였다. 중경제초기는 3륜 승용 관리기 복부의 평행링크에 부착되므로 작업기의 이동 및 부착 편이를 위하여 이동용 바퀴를 설치하였다. 제작된 중경배토기의 크기는 길이${\times}$폭${\times}$높이가 $660{\times}2072{\times}880mm$, 중량은 약 200 kg으로 제작되었다.

To find out the appropriate defensive measures for protectors and radiation workers in rotating radiation generating devices such as CBCT and panorama, irradiation dose depending on the position was compared and analyzed. The devices such as panorama DP-90-P PAX-500 (Vatech, Korea) and CBCT DCT-90-P IMPLAGRAPHY Dental CT system (Vatech, Korea) were used. As irradiation dose measuring instruments, Ion chamber model 2026 and Reader 20X5-60E were used. The exposure conditions were set as the factor used in the clinical trial. The result of the experiment showed that panorama was the highest, 81${\mu}R$, at point A where the test starts first and the lowest, 53${\mu}R$, at point D where the test ends. In case of CBCT, it was the highest, 1,021${\mu}R$, at point D where the test ends and was measured as the highest, 809.67${\mu}R$, at point A where the test starts. If protectors and radiation workers are forced to examine a patient holding him, they should be positioned in the middle of the point where X ray tube starts to rotate and the point where it ends to avoid the position where radiation dose is the most. And due to the nature of equipment, it will be the safest for them to stand at the opposite side of the machine and to uphold it from the rear rather than upholding it from the side of a patient and they should wear appropriate the protection gear.

Purpose : For the purpose of quality assurance of self-developed stereotactic radiosurgery system, a multi-purpose phantom was fabricated, and accuracy of radiation dose distribution during radiosurgery was measured using this phantom. Materials and Methods : A farmer chamber, a 0.125 cc ion chamber and a diode detector were used for the dosimetry. Six MV x-ray from a linear accelerator (CL2100C, Varian) with stereotactic radiosurgery technique (Green Knife) was used, and multi-purpose phantom was attached to a stereotactic frame (Fisher type). Dosimetry was done by combinations of locations of the detectors in the phantom, fixed or arc beams, gantry angles $(20^{\circ}\~100^{\circ})$, and size of the circular tertiary collimators (inner diameters of $10\~40\;mm$). Results : The measurement error was less than $0.5\%$ by Farmer chamber, $0.5\%$ for 0.125 cc ion chamber, and less than $2\%$ for diode detector for the fixed beam, single arc beam, and 5-arc beam setup. Conclusion : We confirmed the accuracy of dose distribution with the radiosurgery system developed in our institute and the data from this study would be able to be effectively used for the improvement of quality assurance of stereotactic radiosurgery or fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy system.

The purpose of this study is to develop the basic algorithm for the finite element method modeling of individual malocclusions. Usually, a great deal of time is spent in preprocessing. To reduce the time required, we developed a standardized procedure for measuring the position of each tooth and a program to automatically preprocess. The following procedures were carried to complete this study. 1. Twenty-eight teeth morphologies were constructed three-dimensionally for the finite element analysis and saved as separate files. 2. Standard brackets were attached so that the FA points coincide with the center of the brackets. 3. The study model of a patient was made. 4. Using the study model, the crown inclination, angulation, and the vertical distance from the tip of a tooth was measured by using specially designed tools. 5. The arch form was determined from a picture of the model with an image processing technique. 6. The measured data were input as a rotational matrix. 7. The program provides an output file containing the necessary information about the three-dimensional position of teeth, which is applicable to several finite element programs commonly used. The program for a basic algorithm was made with Turbo-C and the subsequent outfile was applied to ANSYS. This standardized model measuring procedure and the program reduce the time required, especially for preprocessing and can be applied to other malocclusions easily.

A gerotor can be manufactured in a miniature size because it has a high discharge per cycle and a simple structure. Gerotors are widely used for the lubrication oil of an engine and as the hydraulic source of an automatic transmission. Recently, improvements in fuel efficiency and noise reduction have come to the fore in the automobile industry, and it has been necessary for better fuel efficiency to continuously improve the flow rate and noise of internal gear pumps through the optimal design of the gerotor and port shape. In this study, gerotors were generated based on the equations derived for a lobe shape with multiple profiles (ellipse 1-elliptical involute-ellipse 2). The ranges of the design parameters were considered to prevent a cusp and loop. In addition, the optimal lobe shape was obtained by determining the influence of the lobe shape on the performances (flow rate, irregularity, etc.), according to the values of the design parameters.

When a mechanism transfers a motion to an intersected shaft, a cylindrical cam mechanism may be the best choice among the mechanisms. The cylindrical cam with a roller follower provides to transfer the motions to the intersect shafts simply without other connecting equipments of the intersect shafts. Typical example may be a roller-gear-cam mechanism. But the shape of the cam must be exactly defined in order to satisfy the conditions for the prescribed motion of the follower. This paper proposes a new method for the shape design of the cylindrical cams and also a CAD program is developed by using the proposed method. The relative velocity method calculates the relative velocity of the follower versus the cam at a center of roller, and then determines a contact point by using the geometric relationships and the kinematic constraints. The constraint used in the relative velocity method is that the relative velocity must be parallel to a common tangent line at the contact point of two independent bodies, i. e. the cam and the follower. Then, the shape of the cam is defined by the coordinate transformation of the trace of the contact points. Finally, this paper presents an example in order to prove the accuracy of the proposed methods in this paper and the application of the CAD program"CamDesign".
