The assemblability is determined by the structure of product and the relationship between composing parts and machining parts. In this paper, the bolt was divided into bolt-head, -shaft, -thread and -end. For higher assemblability in bolting process, it was analyzed the geometric and technological characteristics of bolts were analysed regarding pre- and in-assembly process. And this paper presents the knowledge-based expert system to assist for designer in the processor of designing bolt for easier assembly. The developed expert system for supporting bolt design assemblability which is named as BDFA SYSTEM consists of two system such as "BOLT DESIGN SYSTEM" which provide feasible assembly bolt design to designer and "EVALUATION SYSTEM" which provide assembly evaluation to alternative of bolt design.

In this study, an interactive programming method for robot in electronic part assembly task is proposed. Many of industrial robots are still taught and programmed by a teach pendant. The robot is guided by a human operator to the desired application locations. These motions are recorded and are later edited, within the robotic language using in the robot controller, and play back repetitively to perform robot task. This conventional teaching method is time-consuming and somewhat dangerous. In the proposed method, the operator teaches the desired locations on the image acquired through CCD camera mounted on the robot hand. The robotic language program is automatically generated and downloaded to the robot controller. This teaching process is implemented through an off-line programming software. The OLP is developed for an robotic assembly system used in this study. In order to transform the location on image coordinates into robot coordinates, a calibration process is established. The proposed teaching method is implemented and evaluated on an assembly system for soldering electronic parts on a circuit board. A six-axis articulated robot executes assembly task according to the off-line teaching in the system.

Molecular self-assembled of surfactant viologen are of recent interest because they can from functional electrodes as well as micellar assemblies, which can be profitably utilized for display devices, photoelectrochemical studies and electrocatalysis as electron acceptor or electron mediator. Fromherz et al studied the self-assembly of thiol and disulfide derivatives of viologens bearing long n-alkyl chains on Au electrode surface[1]. The electrochemical behavior of self-assembled viologen monolayer has been investigated with QCM, which has been known as nano-gram order mass detector. The self-assembly process of viologen was monitored using resonant frequency(ΔF) and resonant resistance(R). The redox process of viologen was observed with resonant frequency(ΔF).

All manufactured parts and tooling have unavoidable variations from their nominal shapes. During assembly, compliant parts are further deformed by relatively rigid assembly tooling. Lack of Knowledge regarding variations and deformations often results in expensive problems. Most current computer-aided design systems are based on ideally sized, ideally located and rigid geometry. This paper proposes a model for the assembly of compliant, non-ideal part. We start by defining tolerance analysis as the process of simulation the variation of a product or a subassembly when given the tolerance of required parts. Analysis is then done by finite element analysis and using the material properties of the actual parts to be assembled. Using the result, estimate the weld process.

This paper is about the assembly of camera modules for mobile phones. We have particularly researched the assembly process proper for mega-pixel lens assemblies in the camera modules. Herein, we propose that self-adjustment function makes it possible to assemble these lens assemblies without fraction of components. In advance, we observed the assembly process of the lens assemblies to verify the possibility, and checked out it through experiments based on some assumptions.

The productivity and quality are most challenging problems facing all companies. This paper presents a process improvement of the SMPS(switching mode power supply) assembly line through elimination of unnecessary operations, a proper factory layout, motion study, and line balancing techniques. The proposed assembly line increases the productivity by 23.9%, and decrease the proportion of nonconforming items by 48.9%.

Printed circuit board (PCB) assembly line configuration is characterized by very long set-up times and high work in process (WIP) inventory level. The scheduling method can significantly reduce the set-up times and WIP inventory level. Greedy sequence dependent scheduling (GSDS) method is proposed based on the current methods. The proposed method is compared with the current method in terms of three performance measures: line throughput, average WIP inventory level, and implementation complexity.

An automotive air conditioning assembly consists of a condenser, a compressor and an evaporator. These major components are connected with rubber hoses and aluminum pipes. Once mounted on the automotive air conditioning assembly, it is exposed to a serious vibration environment for a long time. In some cases, there are vibration cracking on the assembly. In order to solve this vibration problem, several real vibration tests are performed on the assembly of which the lay-out was optimized, in spite of sample production cost and making time. In this study, a frequency response analysis, which is a kind of finite element method of the vibration, was performed to know the characteristic of the vibration transmission on the assembly lay-out. The analysis result indicated the damping performance, which is satisfied with the vibration standard of car maker, in rubber hoses and the whole assembly.

Tolerance analysis is one of the most important processes to improve the image quality of products. High resolution camera module for mobile phones needs precision assembly technology since the module becomes smaller and thinner. This paper will focus on the unit tolerance and the assembly tolerance which can affect the performance of the module. Lens shading and relative illumination were used to evaluate the optical axis scatter for each component on camera and estimate the assembly yield rate based on the evaluation result. A program was developed to analyze the impact on optical axis by each module, then to optimize the dimensions and tolerance for reducing the scatter of optical axis assembly. Through the simulation, though a rate of relative illumination was declined in where optical axis is displaced $100{\mu}m$ from sensor center, MTF performance is not influenced by increasing in optical axis displacement. It was seen that assembly yield was improved in result of simulation after correcting optical axis tolerance.

Public disapproval of National Assembly is resulted not only from the structural peculiarity of its decision-making process, but from the gap between public expectation of the National Assembly and its performance. While Korean electorate, being interested in politics with relatively high level of political efficacy, hold higher expectation from politics, the National Assembly fails to satisfy public expectation. In particular, irresponsible behaviors of representatives and the crippled operation of the National assembly are responsible for the low level of public trust to it. Institutional reform and individual efforts of representatives are necessary to promote public trust toward the National Assembly.
