Objective: The aim of this study is to understand health effect of hand-arm transmitted vibration. Background: Electronic vibration tools have been used in many industries. These tools evoke hand-arm transmitted vibration that cause hand-arm vibration syndrome. Method: Various papers on the hand-arm transmitted vibration and its health effects have been reviewed to know what health effect caused. Results: Hand-arm transmitted vibration causes circulatory, neural, musculoskeletal and other disturbance. Conclusion: The previous studies focused on the epidemiology and physiology for hand-arm transmitted vibration. So, now we should focus on a prevention and guideline of hand-arm transmitted vibration. Application: These results can be used to know health effect of hand-arm transmitted vibration.

In this paper, a new master arm was developed as an input device of the remote control system for easy control of the industrial robot arm; it has a structure similar to the robot arm and is easy to wear. For control of the slave arm, related equations were derived about the joints between the master and slave arm; and thereby using them, the master arm control system was developed. Furthermore, a control simulator was developed for the convenient and accurate control of the slave arm. Experiments, about controlling the slave arm in applying the master arm, were performed to validate the developed simulator and the derived related equations.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the variations in gait parameters according to arm swing use in post stroke hemiparesis. Methods : Sixteen patients participated in this study and walked at self-selected speeds on a Rs-scan systems. The were randomly assigned conditions: self-selected arm swing, constraint arm swing, emphasis arm swing. Results : In the comparison of parameters in each trial, both affected step length, non affected step length, affected stride length, non affected stride length, affected single support time, and non affected single support time were significantly increased and double support time was significantly decrease in emphasis arm swing when compared with both self-selected arm swing and constraint arm swing(p<.05). However, Asymmetrical ratio was significantly increased in both emphasis arm swing and self-selected arm swing when compared constraint arm swing(p<.05). Conclusion : Therefore, In this study, gait rehabilitation of patients with hemiplegia depending on what you need to apply the arm swing is considered.

This study is concerned about the optimal design of the arm 1 and arm 2 in the SCARA robot. The mass and inertia moment of the arm I and arm 2 in a SCARA robot is greatly affected on the performance such as a cycle time, and torques loaded on $1^{st}$ axis and $2^{nd}$ axis. To reduce the mass and inertia moment, this study carried out optimal design by FEM analysis using parametric variables, which is a width, a height of the rib and a thickness of arm in the arm. The rib is adapted instead of reducing the thickness in the arm. And the simulation by computer was conducted on two given paths in X direction and Y direction. After optimal design, the result showed that maximum torque of $1^{st}$ axis and $2^{nd}$ axis reduced to maximum 9.5% on a given path.

The purpose of this study were to examine the characteristics of arm types proposed in the previous study and to present sleeve patterns according size and shape of 4 arm types. 31 direct and indirect items were measured. The subjects for this study were 132 females of twenties. The results were as follows. 1. All of the direct measurements showed significant difference by the arm types. especially at the front armhole part. Such a.: the items of arm gradients, armhole sizes belong to the indirect measurements made clear difference also. 2. By the discriminant analysis, 9 items including underarm length, front armhole girth, upper arm girth, degree of elbow point-wrist point discriminated arm type by the hit ratio of 90.4% Item related to shape of arm rather than size made a sharp distinction. 3. Through the examination of existing patterns and wearing tests on the subjects among 4 groups, sleeve patterns classified by the arm type were suggested.

This paper describes an anti-ARM technique using multiple decoy antennas. We investigate the radar and decoy antenna signal received at the ARM receiver to verify the effect of decoy antennas. And we develop a simulation program using Matlab for optimum positions of the decoys and the effect of ARM by distance between decoys. We suggest optimum positions and distance between decoys based on our simulation results.

The factors and mechanism of arm surface changes were analyzed by regression analysis for the relationship between changes in arm joint angle and arm surface changes, according to the direction of upper extremity motion. Body surface change patterns among subjects were tested also. Experiments were carried out on 3 female subjects of different body types to examine 26 motions in 4 directions for 4 upper extremity parts. The major conclusions of the study are as follows: 1. The expansion or contraction of arm surface length depends on the direction of upper extremity motion. 2. Arm surface length changes by linear expansion or contraction according to the joint angle of the direction of motion. The mechanism of arm surface changes is represented by a linear relation between arm surface changes and the (actors of the direction of upper extremity motion and arm joint angle. 3. Arm surface length shows the same pattern of body surface changes regardless of body type. A quantitative model of body surface changes at upper extremity should be developed for functional sleeve design.

We succeeded to build a cost effective assistance robotic arm with a compact and lightweight body. The robotic arm has three joints, and the tip of robotic arm to install tools consists of a closed link mechanism, which consisted of two actuators and several links. The robotic arm has been made possible by the use of actuators typically used in radio control devices. The controller of the robotic arm consists of a single chip PIC only. The robotic arm has a friendly user interface, as the operators are aged and disabled in most cases. The operator can manipulate the robotic arm by voice commands or by pressing a push button. The robotic arm has been successfully prototyped and tested on an elderly patient to assist with eating. The results of field test were satisfactory.

ARM processors are being utilized in a variety of embedded systems. It is also that most ARM processor accepts C application, and then generates ARM assembly code using GNU gcc Cross-compiler. For the purpose of improving the quality of code generated and the efficient code generation, the various researches are underway. In this paper, we generates the ARM assembly code from the ANSI C programs using Syntax-directed Translation Techniques, and then the performance evaluation results for our research experimental compare to GNU gcc Cross-compiler are described. The techniques are presented in this research compared to GNU gcc cross-compiler very simple and convenient in extension of the production rules.

I. 목적 : arm-up holder는 흉부 및 복부 질환 치료의 환자고정에 유용하게 사용하고 있으나 손잡이 부분과 어깨가 닿는 부분까지 거리 때문에 동일한 자세를 유지하는데 불편함이 있다. 특히 긴장을 많이 하거나 기력이 없는 환자는 방사선 치료 시 자세의 불안정으로 인하여 치료의 정확성이 떨어질 수 있다. 이에 본원에서는 현재 사용하고 있는 arm-up holder에 팔의 지지를 위한 보조기구를 제작하여 유용성을 평가하였다. II. 대상 및 방법 : 기존의 arm-up holder에 어깨받침대를 부착하여 개선된 arm-up holder를 제작하였다. 실험을 위하여 기존의 arm-up holder를 사용하는 환자그룹과 개선된 arm-up holder를 사용하는 그룹으로 구분하여 자세 변화를 평가하였다. 두 그룹의 환자를 대상으로 모의 치료를 실시한 후 치료실에서 L-gram 을 2회 씩 촬영하여 치료하고자 하는 portal film과 isocenter의 변화를 측정했다. 각 그룹 당 10명씩의 환자를 선정하여 반복 조사하였다. III. 결과 : 개선된 arm-up holder를 사용한 그룹의 isocenter 의 변화는 최대 2mm, 최소 0.5mm 평균 1.2mm 이다. 기존의 arm-up folder를 사용한 그룹과 비교하여 평균변화는 약 2배로 나라났고, 최대 변화는 2.5배의 오차범위가 측정되었다. IV. 결론 : 현재 사용하고 있는 arm-up holder는 흉부 및 복부의 사방향 방사선 치료 시 팔에 의한 방사선 감약을 예방할 수 있는 유용한 고정용구이다. 하지만 팔을 올리고 있는 자세는 환자에게 불편함을 야기 시키며 이로 인한 치료의 정확성을 감소시킬 수 있다. 따라서, 기존의 arm-up holder에 보조기구를 제작하여 사용함으로써 환자의 불편함을 개선하고, set-up 의 안정성과 재현성을 향상시킬 수 있었다.
