A bucket-brigade is a way of transporting items where items are passed from one person to the next. The operation of the bucket brigade imitates the cooperative behavior of ants when brood, food or other resources are moved. Koo (2009) presented a bucket brigade-based assembly cell where each worker follows a simple rule: perform assembly operations on a product until the next worker downstream takes it over; then go back to the previous worker upstream to take over a new assembly job. In this way, the flow line is self-balanced without any predetermined job assignment. However, there are some productivity losses related to hand-off and blocking. This paper examines the hand-off and blocking losses and presents a new bucket brigade-based assembly cell where working areas for each assembler is restricted with the help of buffer interfaces. Simulation experiments are used to validate the performance of the new assembly system.

Recent general Press brake has many problems in cutting high accurate products in the progress of industry. Previous hand-operated press brake needs many pre-processing works to adjust bending ang1e and marking-off works to calculate bending length. Also, the hand-operating work makes many geometric errors and has difficulty for variety-mass production. To solve these problems, this paper proposes Computer Numerical Control (CNC) general press brake and development of servo-control system based on database for reduction of geometric errors and pre-processing work time and high accuracy bending work.

This paper discusses the peg-in-hole task of chamferless parts using force/moment/vision sensors. The directional error occurring during the task are categorized into two cases according to the degree of initial errors, And different Mechanical analysis has been accomplished for each cases. This paper proposes an algorithm which enables to reduce intial directional error using digital Images acquired from hand-eyed vision sensor, And to continue the task even with the large directional error by adjusting the error using digital image processing. The effectiveness of the algorithm has been demonstrated through experimentation using 5-axis robot equipped with a developed controller force/moment sensor and color digital camera on its hand.

The purpose of this study was to quantify the amount of remaining gutta-percha/sealer on the walls of root canals when three types of nickel-titanium rotary instruments and a hand instrument were used to remove these materials. Forty extracted mandibular premolars were prepared by step-back method and obturated with gutta-percha and sealer. Gutta-percha removal for group 1 was done using hand file with chloroform, group 2 using Profile and group 4 using K3. The following factors were evaluated : Time taken to reach working length, total time for gutta-percha removal and number of fractured instruments.(중략)

To study the feasibility of applying wireless communication technology to the control of train for the effective control of train and for the reduction of cost and time to construct the necessary infra structure, we investigate into the application of the existing commercial WCDMA network to CBTC (communication-based train control) to grasp the obstacles and propose the solutions to circumvent them. The obstacles can be categorized into the hand-off problem, the interference problem near the stations, and the problem of radio shadow areas. We propose, as solutions, the cell overlap method and multi-terminal approach for the hand-off problem, the cell sectoring method for the interference problem, and establishment of new base stations along the railroad both to provide the wireless train control and communication service to the customers on the train which was otherwise impossible because of the shadowing effect.

To investigate the influence of hand cream of domestic and foreign brands on the purchase tendency, a survey was conducted on hand cream application, purchase tendency, and perception of 105 women in a metropolitan area. Market research was then conducted to compare the hand cream cost, quantity, and total substance, and the hand creams were sorted according to high-price and low-price, and foreign brand and domestic brand, and a clinical demonstration was conducted by back-hand application on 17 recipients to analyze the moisture and skin oil differences and the moisture endurance. As a result, the percentage of subjects who perceived that the price and brand of hand cream affects the quality was higher than those who did not, and the hand cream prize per 1mg (g) varied as much as fourfold among the high-price and low-price, and among foreign and domestic brands. The result of the total substance comparison, glycerin the moisturizer and cetearyl alcohol the skin conditioner were included in all hand creams. As a result of the clinical demonstration, the difference in moisture and skin oil difference and moisture endurance between the high-price and low-price and foreign brand did not show a statistically significant difference. These results show that there are no relationships between skin moisture and sebeum of the brand. Therefore, considering that hand cream is a highly consumptive product that is used multiple times on a daily basis, these results might provide fundamental data that could contribute to the increase in hand cream product quality by determining the consumers' needs.

산업기술의 정밀화, 자동화가 진행됨에 따라 로봇 산업이 발달하게 되고, 로봇에 주로 사용하는 DC 모터 제어의 성능이 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 로봇에 적용되는 소용량 DC 모터의 경우, 전기자 권선의 인덕턴스가 작고 조항이 상대적으로 크다. 저항이 상대적으로 큰 DC 모터의 경우 저항에 흐르는 전류에 의한 전압 강하 성분이 속도에 비례하는 역기전력(Back-EMF)에 비해 무시할 수 없고, PWM 전압에 의한 전류맥동이 커서 평균전류 샘플링이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 DC 모터의 전기적 모델을 기반으로 속도 제어기의 출력 전압을 결정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 핸드 로봇에 제안된 방법을 적용하여 속도 제어기의 특성을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a method for computer-assisted slide presentation using vision-based gesture recognition. The proposed method consists of a sequence of steps, first detecting a hand in the scene of projector beam, then estimating the smooth trajectory of a hand or a pointing finger using Kalman Filter, and finally interfacing to an application system. Additional slide navigation control includes moving back and forth the pages of the presentation. The proposed method is to help speakers for an effective presentation with natural improved interaction with the computer. In particular, the proposed method of using finger pointing is believed to be more effective than using a laser pointer since the hand, the pointing or finger are more visible and thus can better grab the attention of the audience.
