근래 산업은 기계 자동화로 변화하고 있는 추세이며, 선박도 센서를 통해 기기 정보를 디지털 정보로 얻는다. 하지만 선박은 기기상태 점검을 위해 선원들이 정해진 시간마다 기관실을 순찰하며 기기들의 정보를 아날로그 게이지를 통해 확인하는데, 이는 순찰 중에 선원에게 발생할 수 있는 모든 안전 위험은 물론 시간과 기회비용 또한 소모된다. 자율이동로봇을 이용한 기관실 순찰 방법은 선원의 안전 위험은 물론 시간과 기회비용도 소모되지 않기 때문에 해결책으로 활발히 연구 중이다. 자율이동로봇을 이용한 아날로그 게이지 판독은 로봇이 게이지를 인식하기 위한 디지털화가 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 이미지 처리를 이용하였다. 아날로그 게이지 이미지는 이미지 전처리를 통해 노이즈 제거 및 특징을 부각 시켰다. 이미지 전처리를 완료한 이미지는 이미지 처리를 통해 아날로그 게이지의 중심점, 지침점, 최소값 및 최대값을 검출하였다. 이 점들을 연결한 직선을 통해 최소값부터 최대값까지의 각도 및 최소값부터 지침점까지의 각도를 획득하였다. 각도는 수식을 통해 현재 아날로그 게이지가 나타내고 있는 값을 디지털화하여 나타내었다. 실험을 통해 이미지 처리를 통한 아날로그 게이지의 디지털화가 잘되어 게이지의 현재 지시값을 근사하게 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 알고리즘을 순찰로봇에 적용한다면 기관실 순찰을 위한 선원의 안전 위험 및 시간과 기회비용까지 보전 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study is to present a methodology to evaluate the accuracy of intraoral scanners (IOS) used in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A specific feature-based gauge was designed, manufactured, and measured in a coordinate measuring machine (CMM), obtaining reference distances and angles. Then, 10 scans were taken by an IOS with the gauge in the patient's mouth and from the obtained stereolithography (STL) files, a total of 40 distances and 150 angles were measured and compared with the gauge's reference values. In order to provide a comparison, there were defined distance and angle groups in accordance with the increasing scanning area: from a short span area to a complete-arch scanning extension. Data was analyzed using software for statistical analysis. RESULTS. Deviations in measured distances showed that accuracy worsened as the scanning area increased: trueness varied from 0.018 ± 0.021 mm in a distance equivalent to the space spanning a four-unit bridge to 0.106 ± 0.08 mm in a space equivalent to a complete arch. Precision ranged from 0.015 ± 0.03 mm to 0.077 ± 0.073 mm in the same two areas. When analyzing angles, deviations did not show such a worsening pattern. In addition, deviations in angle measurement values were low and there were no calculated significant differences among angle groups. CONCLUSION. Currently, there is no standardized procedure to assess the accuracy of IOS in vivo, and the results show that the proposed methodology can contribute to this purpose. The deviations measured in the study show a worsening accuracy when increasing the length of the scanning area.

In the end milling operation the deflection of the cutter is an important factor affecting the accuracy of machining with implications on the selection of cutting parameters and economics of the operation. The deflection of the end mill was studied both experimentally with strain gauge, tool dynamometer, laser measuring apparatus and on a finite element model of the cutting using ANSYS software. The deflection of machining tool with various helix angles was studied with FEM simulation and experiment. ANSYS analysis performed on the finite element model of the end mill provides deflection results which agree within 15.0% with the experimental ones.

Tension control is an important factor in producing high quality knitted products and in maintaining good processing condition. Yarn tension during knitting is subject to be affected from many elements of the machine and process parameters. Several factors including yam feeding speed, feeding angle, and needle gauge that are considered to influence on the tension variation were investigated. Yam feeding speed did not show high contribution to the tension variation but feeding angle of yam did show high correlation with the tension. No or negative correlation of the tension with needle gauge was found from the results. In order to keep well-determined process condition in the knitting manufacturing, it is strongly suggested that all knitting elements and parameters should be in the integrated control circumstance.

Background: Dentists bend needles prior to certain injections; however, there are concerns regarding needle fracture, lumen occlusion, and sharps handling. A previous study found that a 30-gauge needle fractures after four to nine 90° bends. This fatigue life study evaluated how many 90° bends a 30-gauge dental needle will sustain before fracture when bent using a needle guide. Methods: Two operators at Element Materials Technology, an independent testing, inspection, and certification company tested 48 30-gauge needles. After applying the needle guide, the operators bent the needle to a 90° angle and expressed the anesthetic from the tip. The needle was then bent back to a 0° angle, and the functionality was tested again. This process was repeated until the anesthetic failed to pass through the end of the needle due to fracture or obstruction. Each operator tested 24 needles (12 needles from each lot), and the number of sustained bends before the needle fracture was recorded. Results: The average number of sustained bends before needle failure was 40.33 (95% confidence interval = 37.41-43.26), with a minimum of 20, median of 40, and a maximum of 54. In each trial, the lumen remained patent until the needle fractured. The difference between the operators was statistically significant (P < 0.001). No significant differences in performance between needle lots were observed (P = 0.504). Conclusion: Our results suggest that using a needle guide increases the number of sustained bends before needle fracture (P < 0.000001) than those reported in previous studies. Future studies should further evaluate the use of needle guides with other needle types across a variety of operators. Furthermore, additional opportunities lie in exploring workplace safety considerations and clinical applications of anesthetic delivery using a bent needle.

This study investigated the formation of silhouette and hemline shape of knit flare skirts according to the properties of knit material through virtual clothing with a 3D virtual clothing system called i-Designer of Technoa, thus building a database of the property data of knit material to reduce the number of sample making steps repeated and implemented several times in the process of clothes making. The results would help to estimate a silhouette in advance, offer assistance to the development of original knit wear, and explore ways to provide basic data for the development of the knit industry of the nation. The investigator made 12 kinds of experimental clothes to the angles(width of skirt: $90^{\circ}$ and $180^{\circ}$), gauge(7G, 12G, and 15G), and grain directions(wale and bias direction) of experimental clothes for virtual clothing. The dynamic characteristics of knit skirt samples according to each gauge were measured with the KES-FB system. Draper shapes were analyzed with the sectional shape data of hemline based on i-Designer. As for the measurements of the sectional shape of hemline and the formation of silhouette, the number of nodes, the average height of node mountains and valleys, and the hemline width right and left and before and after increased at the angle of $180^{\circ}$ than $90^{\circ}$. As gauges multiplied, the number of nodes, and silhouette angle dropping. When considering grain directions, the number of nodes and silhouette index increased in the wale direction at the angle of $90^{\circ}$ with the number of nodes and silhouette angle increasing in the wale direction at the angle of $180^{\circ}$.

스마트폰 등에서 사용되는 고성능 디스플레이에는 다양한 종류의 정밀한 플라스틱 박막 필름(Plastic Thin Film)이 사용되고 있다. 롤투롤(Roll-To-Roll) 공정으로 제조되는 플라스틱 박막 필름은 생산 공정 중에 실시간으로 필름의 두께가 계측되고, 정확하게 관리되어야 한다. 필름 제조 과정에서 필름에 장력이 작용하면서 주름이 발생되고, 이러한 주름 발생은 필름의 두께 방향과 두께 측정기의 광축이 서로 경사지게 한다. 결국 두께 측정기는 필름의 수직 두께가 아닌 경사진 두께를 측정하게 됨으로써 실제 두께보다 더 큰 값으로 측정하게 된다. 본 연구에서는, 플라스틱 필름의 경사로 인하여 발생하게 되는 두께 측정기에서의 계측값 오차를 보정하기 위하여, 필름의 경사 각도를 계측하는 연구가 진행되었다. 플라스틱 필름에 슬릿 빔 레이저를 조사하고, 필름에서 반사되는 슬릿 빔 레이저가 PSD(Position Sensitive Device)에 맺히는 광학 시스템을 구성하였으며, 실험을 통하여 필름의 경사 각도와 PSD 출력값의 관계를 1차 방정식 형태로 구하였다. 이를 이용하여 필름의 경사 각도를 측정하는 장치가 구축되었으며, 250KHz의 속도로 경사 각도의 측정이 가능하였다.

The modeling for the looper of a hot strip finishing mill to control the tension of the strip is presented. The looper is an arm pushing against the strip between stands in a tandem mill to keep the strip tension constant and to isolate the interactions of the adjacent stands. Tension is influenced by the difference in mass flow through the up stream and down-stream rolling stands. Tension is critical to strip quality, influencing width, gauge, and shape. This paper presents how looper angle and strip tension are controlled for a hot strip finishing mill.
