Scoliosis is a complex musculoskeletal dieses requiring 3-D treatment with surgical instrumentation. Conventional corrective surgery for scoliosis was done based on empirical knowledge without information of the optimum position and operative procedure. Frequently, post operative change of rib hump increase and shoulder level imbalance caused serious problems in the view of cosmetics. To investigate the effect of correction surgery, a reconstructed 3-D finite element model for King-Moe type V was developed. Vertebrae, clavicle and other bony element were represented using rigid bodies. Kinematic joints and nonlinear bar elements used to represent the intervertebral disc and ligaments according to reported experimental data. With this model, optimization technique was also applied in order to define the optimal magnitudes of correction. The optimization procedure corrected the scoliotic deformities by reducing the objective function by more than 94%. with an associated reduction of the scoliotic descriptors mainly on the frontal thoracic curve.

A captive trajectory simulation (CTS) system is used to investigate the separation behavior of the store model by moving the model to an arbitrary pose and position based on aerodynamic data. A CTS system operated inside a wind tunnel is designed to match the structure of the wind tunnel facility. As a result, each CTS system has different kinematic structure, and inverse kinematic analysis of the system is necessary. In this study, kinematic/inverse kinematic analysis for the CTS system with functional redundancy is performed. Inverse kinematic analysis with combined numerical and analytical approach is especially proposed. The suggested approach utilizes the redundancy to improve the safety of the system, and has advantages in real time analysis.

3-D photonic band-gap structures are fabricated from dielectric colloidal polystyrene beads through a centrifuge method. The fabricated photonic crystals exhibit opalescent colors under white light and show a clear diffraction peak dependent on the incident angle of the light beam. Also the scanning electron microscope image was taken to verify the face-centered cubic crystal structure. Bragg's law and Snell's law are employed to describe the position of angle resolved diffraction peaks. It was shown that the optically deduced effective refractive index and lattice constants were in good agreement with the crystal structure identified by scanning electron microscope.

In this paper, we propose a new model of the magnetic control force exerted on the levitation object in magnetic levitation systems. The model assumes that the magnetic force is a function of the voltage applied to an electromagnet and the position of a levitation object. The function is not explicitly expressed but represented through a 2D lookup table constructed from the experimentally measured data. Unlike the conventional model that reveals only local characteristics of the magnetic force, the proposed model shows global characteristics satisfactorily. Specially devised measurement equipment is utilized in order to gather the data required for model construction. An experimental procedure to construct the model is presented. We apply the proposed model to designing a sliding mode controller for a lab-built magnetic system. The validity of the proposed model is illustrated by comparing the performances of the controller adopting the conventional model with that of the controller adopting the proposed model.

A computational method of integral imaging is proposed based on the lenslet model which allows that the orthoscopic 3D image can be reconstructed at any arbitrary position without any restrictions. The proposed method is not rigidly adhere to the fixed reconstructed distance, but also requires no additional procedure during the depth conversion process. To show the usefulness of the proposed method, we carry out the preliminary experiments and present the experimental results.

In this paper, we propose a system that is configured with double stereo-visions to measure jaw movement. This new system measures not only left and right hinge points of jaw motion but also floating paths of hinge points during lateral and protrusive movement. The resulting 3D position and path data can also be used for 3D graphic simulation technique for occlusion diagnosis and therapy. The system also considers the compatibility with conventional occlusion therapy devices.

In direct-projected augmented reality, different position of user requires different projection on 3-D display surface. The problem is caused by the difference between the direction of projector-to-object and the direction of user-to-object. In this paper, it is demonstrated that the graphical contents are properly pre-warped according to user's viewpoint and projected onto 3-D display surface without geometric distortion.

We have developed a new tracking system of jaw movement. The system consists of two permanent NdFeB magnets and 32 elements of two-axial fluxgate sensor array, The two magnets are attached to head portion and front tooth. This system does not need any attachments of the head portion or mouth such as clutch or magnetic field sensor except magnets. The proposed system is applicable for five degree of freedom. Position accuracy within 2]m was achieved. We developed a 3D computer input device by using the above mentioned technique.

This paper presents the design of an SSIC chip for synchronization between main and sub pictures in the multi channel TV system (MUCTS). This chip can resolve problems in MUCTS, such as passing through and vertical jolt phenomena. In addition, this chip rpvivides compatibility for normal/doulble scan, interlace/progressive and normal (4:3)/wide (16:9) systems and has high hjorizontal and vertical resolutions (340) dots and 150 lines). In each mode there are 1 channel, 3 channel, and 4 position display functions. This MUCTS chip including three A/D coverters, a D/A converter and seven line memories was fabricated with one chip by using the $0.8\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS technology. The application areas of this MUCTS ASIC chip include the wide TV, projection TV and te next generation TV for the DBS (direct broadcast system).

The steam turbine rotor blade is designed using the Turbine Rotor Design Package developed by the authors. It can quickly accomplish blade shape design in the power plant industry. The quasi-3d code is employed for analysis of passage flow in the blade sections. Iterative change of each blade shape is made by moving position of control points in the Bezier curve under GUI(graphic user interface) environment. The full 3-D blade shape is obtained by stacking of the section blades.
