  • Ignition Safe-Arm-Unit using micro-electromechanical systems(MEMS) for propulsion system was designed and manufactured. MEMS was designed according to the design schemes for conventional mechanical elements. By comparing the design results and the test data of the prototype, small discrepancy was found, which is due to the nonlinear characteristic of the structure and the machining accuracy. The applicability of MEMS for Safe-Arm-Unit was proved by testing MEMS which is assembled into SAU.

  • The position control accuracy of a robot arm is significantly deteriorated when a long slender arm robot is operated at a high speed. In this case, the robot arm needs to be modeled as a flexible structure, not a rigid one, and its control system needs to be designed with its elastic modes taken into account. In this paper, the vibration control scheme of a one-link flexible manipulator using adaptive input shaper in conjunction with PID controller is presented. The robot consists of a flexible arm manufactured with a thin aluminium plate, an AC servo motor with a harmonic drive for speed reduction, an optical encoder and an accelerometer. On-line identification of the vibration mode is done using the pruned decimation-in-time FFT algorithm to estimate the parameter of the input shaper. Experimental results of the flexible manipulator with a PID controller and input shaper are provided to show the effectiveness of the advocated controllers.

  • A rubber pneumatic controlled actuator is a new actuator. It is very light With a high power-to-weight ratio. In this thesis, a control method for a two link robot arm using the rubber actuator is developed. The structure of the servo control is made up of two sections. The position control is performed by PID feedback control. The air pressure is controlled by Servo Valve Unit driven by PWM and the control input is compensated by software operation. The numerical simulation of this control method to two link robot arm is presented to verify the performance of the closed loop system. The actual control of the real two link robot arm with rubber actuator is taken and its results are discussed.

  • The lateral arm flap was reported first by Song et al. in 1982, and Katsaros and colleagues described an anatomic study and clinical cases in 1984. This flap is thin, has relatively constant vascular anatomy, and provides relatively acceptable scar at the donor site. Despite its many advantages its wide application has been limited by its short vascular pedicle with small diameter of lumen, and its small skin paddle. We studied its anatomical structure to get longer length of vascular pedicle, wide diameter and thinner part of flap beyond the lateral condyle through 6 fresh cadaver dissection and dye injection study. We experienced 21 cases of lateral arm free flaps and 26 cases of forearm free flaps from May, 1992 to January, 1996. We compared its usefulness with forearm free flaps in the aspects of donor morbidity, operative factors, quality of flap, and versatility. In conclusion, lateral arm flap can replace the role of forearm flap in most cases so that patient's donor morbidity can be reduced especially in the women.

  • Recently, miniaturization and weight reduction is getting more attention due to various benefits in automotive components design. It is a trend that the design of experiment(DOE) and statical design method are frequently used for optimization. In this research, the safety of lower control arm is evaluated according to its material change form S45C to A16061 for the reduction of arm's weight. The variance analysis on the basis of structure analysis and DOE is applied to the lower control m. We have proposed a statistical design model to evaluate the effect of structural modification by performing the practical multi-objective optimization considering mass, stress and deflection.

  • This study proposes an intelligent control of manufacturing robot with dual arm based on neural network for smart factory implementation. In the control method of robot system, the perspectron structure of single layer based on neural network is useful for simple computation. However, the limitations of computation are emerging in areas that require complex computations. To overcome limitation of complex parameters computation a new intelligent control technology is proposed in this study. The performance is illustrated by simulation and experiments for manufacturing robot dual arm robot with eight axes.

  • This paper proposed a 2 stages 2-arm sinuous antenna that operates in frequency range 0.8-6GHz. The proposed antenna's total radius is 60mm, in which 1st stage's radius is 50mm which is designed as self-complementary structure(cell's angle width $90^{\circ}$) with 8 cell, and 2nd stage is composed of non-self-complementary structure with 0.5 cell of cell's angle width $720^{\circ}$ in the radius width 10mm. Measurement's result shows that -10dB return loss starts at 0.807GHz, but 1 stage 2-arm sinuous antenna that use the same radius starts at about 0.878GHz, so proposed the possibility of the miniaturization of the sinuous antenna.

  • Recently, domestic railway related institutes are developing pantographs for high speed trains; to lighten the upper arm, this device has a composite structure of CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) and aluminum instead of conventional steel. In the case of KTX-Sancheon, the pantograph must have a large current capacity because this system is of power-car type, supplying all necessary power for the train through a single pantograph. If the thickness of the pipe is arbitrarily increased in order to increase the current carrying capacity, without analyzing the thermal characteristics of the aluminum pipe, the increase in the weight of the upper arm may cause degradation of the current collecting performance. Therefore, in this paper, using the thermal analysis technique, we analyze the temperature change characteristics of the aluminum pipe of the upper arm over time, while receiving power at the stationary state of the KTX-Sancheon; we also examine the adequacy of the minimum thickness of the aluminum pipe in accordance with the proposed pantograph flow capacity.

  • Objectives : An error was found in the recent standard by the World Health Organization (WHO) on the locations of the Upper arm Route of Lung Meridian (URLM) and its acupoints LU3 and LU4. This possible incorrect information is being taught throughout Korean medicine colleges nationwide, which follow WHO standards. Therefore, an investigation is required to sort out this discrepancy based on the evidence in historical documents. Methods : The location of WHO's URLM and LU3 and LU4 were compared with corresponding information in the classical literature. The anatomical structure mentioned in these classical documents was examined. Finally, an assessment was conducted on whether this structure is reflected in the WHO standards. Results : Classical literature prior to the early 20th century records the locations of the Lung Meridian and LU3 and LU4 of the upper arm to be in the artery on the medial aspect. This artery corresponds to the brachial artery. The location established by the WHO is on the anterolateral side of the upper arm, where no large arteries exist that can be found by haptic search or angiographically. The anterolateral side of the upper arm belongs to the Yang aspect, which does not coincide with the Yin aspect of Lung Meridian. Conclusions : The WHO's URLM and LU3-4 standards do not agree with the classical literature. The correct route must coincide with the brachial artery passing through the medial side of the humerus. The actual location of LU3-4 is on the medial aspect of the arm, just medial to the border of the biceps brachii muscle, on the brachial artery, 3-4 B-cun inferior to the anterior axillary fold.

  • In this paper, we analyzed the signal distortion incorporating meander-shaped transmission line on PCB in broadband frequency range, up to 50GHz. This broadband characteristic provides reasonable analysis of digital pulse having very short rising time. Simulation results reveal suppression characteristic at multiband which is dependent on only the width of meander arm. This width of arm also can be adjusted using different permittivity because it provides different effective wave-length. It is found that the suppression characteristic shows sharpness with as a function of the number of arms. However, these characteristics shown limitation for microstrip line structure rather than for stripline structure, so we can avoid these unwanted phenomena using stripline structure.
