A manipulator is operated for the motion of mechanical hands or arms by mechanical mechanism. When a cup including liquid inside is shifted by a manipulator, it is important to know how a free surface of the liquid moves. In this study, non-dimensional parameters have been found that affect the rise of the free surface in a cup moving with constant acceleration. The non-dimensional parameters are the dimensionless time, the ratio of inertia effect to vicous effect (Reynolds number), aspect ratio of the liquid inside the cup and acceleration ratio (Froude number). Through this study, the height of the free surface rise in a cup has been predicted. Generally the maximum rise of the free surface is dependent on the Reynolds number and Froude number strongly, but on the aspect ratio weakly. But the influence of the aspect ratio on the maximum rise of the free surface in not negligible in the range 10 < Re < 100.

In this paper, We propose an Image processing algorithm for a paper-cup inner defect inspection. First, we devide a cup image to four sections considering the characteristic of a cup and filter noises limit by using the flood-fill algorithm and median filter. Second, to obtain the clearer inspection result of the edge point inner cup, We apply the sharpening convolution filer to the objected inspect the edge points by using the LOG edge detector. Third, executing sub-pixel operation with the orignal image, we find the defect parts in the cup. Finally, denoting the inspected defect parts as rectangular, we recompose the images of the defected ones.

Gaps between the upper edges of brassiere mold cups and the breasts are one of the most serious issues in realizing comfort wearing of commercial brassieres for small-breasted women. The surplus ease amounts causing the fit problem were measured from 3D wearing images of the small-breasted women's brassieres. The effect after the removing the surplus ease amounts from the upper edge of mold cup was approved by subjective wearing evaluation. Since the volume distribution of mold cup can also affect the wearing sensation of brassiere, the subjective wearing sensation was compared for two brassieres of different volume distributions, V_L, of which volume was concentrated at the lower cup, and V_C, which has the thickest part at the nipple. As the results, the suitable sensation for cup volume and the natural wearing silhouette could be accomplished by removing the surplus ease amounts from the upper edge of mold cup to reduce the gaps between brassieres and the breasts, which could be accomplished through an approach reducing the volume near the upper edge of mold brassiere cup and making the volume concentrated at the lower cup. These works provide a useful information on the design of the brassiere mold cups for small-breasted women. Moreover, modeling methods of 3D scan data and 3D printing technique for making more accurate mold cases used in this research can be helpful to develop and evaluate clothing products in future.

In vitro true digestibility of cup-plant (Silphium perfoliatum L.) is higher than other alternative forages and comparative to alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) even at the high neutral detergent fiber (NDF) concentration. This study was conducted to determine whether the digestion kinetic parameters of cup-plant could explain high in vitro true digestibility of cup-plant at the several NDF levels. Cup-plant and alfalfa were both collected in Arlington and Lancaster, Wisconsin to meet the NDF content within 40 to 50% range. The collected samples were incubated with rumen juice to investigate the digestion kinetics at 3, 6, 9, 14, 20, 28, 36, 48, and 72 h. Kinetics was estimated by the model $R=D_0\;e-k(t-L)+U$ where R is residue remaining at time t, and $D_0$ is digestible fraction, k is digestion rate constant, L is discrete lag time, and U is indigestible fraction. Parameters of the model were estimated by the direct nonlinear least squares (DNLS) method. Digestion rate and potential extent of digestion were not statistically different in either forage. However, alfalfa had shorter lag time (p<0.05). The indigestible fraction increased with maturation in alfalfa and in cup-plant (p<0.05). The ratio of indigestible fraction to acid detergent lignin (ADL) was higher in cup-plant than in alfalfa (p<0.05). From the results, alfalfa is probably digested more rapidly than cup-plant, however, cup-plant maintains higher digestibility with maturation due to a relatively slower increase of indigestible fraction in NDF.

Cup-plant (Silphium perfoliatum L.) has potential to produce high biomass and highly digestible forage in the wetlands where other productive forages do not grow or produce well. However, high moisture content at harvest is a considerable disadvantage of cup-plant for the production of high quality silage. This study was conducted to determine the effect of moisture content on the characteristics of cup-plant silage. Harvested cup-plant was ensiled in farm scale plastic bag silos and laboratory silos. In the plastic bag silos, first growth (FG) and regrowth (RG) cup-plant was harvested, wilted and ensiled. Dry matter content of FG and RG was 280 g/kg and 320 g/kg after 48 hr of wilting. The silage made with FG had pH 5.3 and 5.63 g/kg DM of acetate as a major volatile fatty acid. The composition of lactate, butyrate and acetate production was 1.0: 0.9: 2.3. The pH of silage made with RG was 4.5 and lactate was a major fermentation end product (16.8 g/kg DM). In the laboratory silos, wilted and unwilted first growth cup-plant material was ensiled to compare the early fermentation end products at days 2, 4, 11, and 40. Wilting increased dry matter content by 42% in the harvested material. Wilted silage showed about one unit lower pH until day 11. The contents of ammonia nitrogen and acetate were higher in un wilted silage, while that of lactate was higher in wilted silage (p<0.05). Butyrate and propionate were not detected in the wilted silage until day 40. We conclude from the results that moisture control is essential for the production of high quality cup-plant silage and high pH of cup-plant silage is due to low concentrations of fermentation end products.

성능위주 화재안전설계에서 요구 피난시간(Required safe egress time, RSET)의 정확한 평가를 위해서는 화재감지기 작동시간에 대한 정확한 예측이 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 실험 및 수치해석을 통해 화재감지기의 작동시험에 널리 적용되고 있는 Plunge test의 문제점이 검토되었다. 또한 이를 개선시킬 수 있는 새로운 Shield-cup test가 제안되었다. 측정의 정확성 및 재현성 확보를 위하여 개발된 Fire detector evaluator (FDE)가 적용되었다. 주요 결과로서, Plunge test에서는 감지기가 투입되는 순간에 급격한 유동변화로 인하여 연기감지기의 작동시간에 큰 측정오차가 발생되었으며, Shield-cup test에서는 감지기 노출 과정에서 장치 내부의 유동 변화가 거의 확인되지 않았다. 결론적으로 Shield-cup test는 모사된 화재환경에서 화재감지기의 응답특성을 보다 정확히 평가하는데 상당히 유용할 것으로 기대된다.

중금속 결합 단백질인 metallothionein (MT)를 발현하는 CUP1 유전자를 다중으로 함유하는 재조합 Saccharomyces cerevisiae의 균체성장과 중금속 제거특성을 조사하였다. CUP1 유전자를 다중으로 함유하는 재조합 효모는 중금속을 포함한 배지에서의 균체성장과 중금속 흡착능이 중금속에 대하여 내성을 가지고 있는 야생효모나 숙주세포에 비하여 우수하였다. 서로 다른 플라스미드를 함유하는 중금속을 함유하는 배지에서의 균체성장과 중금속 흡착능의 차이는 중금속에 대한 내성과 중금속 흡착에 MT 단백질의 발현 수준이 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 추정되었다. 구리를 함유하지 않고 고농도의 아연과 망간을 함유하는 배지에서 재조합 효모는 높은 균체 농도와 중금속 제거능을 나타내었는데, 이는 MT 단백질을 발현하는 CUP1 promoter가 아연과 망간에 의해서도 발현이 유도된다는 것을 알 수 있었다. MT 단백질을 효율적으로 발현하여 재조합 효모에 의한 중금속 흡착을 최대화 할 수 있는 최적의 구리농도는 0.31 mM로 결정되었으며, 비이온계 계면활성제인 Triton X-100은 재조합 효모의 균체성장과 중금속 흡착을 증가시켰지만, 대사 저해제는 균체성장과 중금속 흡착을 모두 저해하였다.

Background: Standardized procedures for the clinical application of fire cupping methods have not been established. In particular, the pressure parameters have not been fully characterized and described. Therefore, using various materials, this study investigated the pressure range exerted during fire cupping therapy. Methods: In this study, 3 differently sized (small, medium, large) glass and bamboo cups were used in the cotton ball fire cupping procedure to measure the pressure inside the cup applied to a human skin model. The pressure in each cup was measured 15 times for a total of 90 measurements. Results: A small bamboo cup had the minimum overall pressure (-305.4 mmHg), whereas the large glass cup exerted the maximum pressure (-401.3 mmHg), followed by the medium glass cup, large bamboo cup, small glass cup, and medium bamboo cup. The average pressure exerted by the cotton ball method for all cups ranged from -348.715 mmHg to -358.694 mmHg (95% confidence interval). Overall, the glass cups had a greater pressure than the bamboo cups in all groups (p < 0.001). Among the glass cups used, the larger the size of the cup, the higher the average pressure detected (-381.947 mmHg to -391.973 mmHg; p < 0.05). Conclusion: Large glass cups which are widely used in clinical practice, when used in the fire cupping method exerted pressure ranging from -381.947 mmHg to -391.973 mmHg (95% CI).

Both cylindrical cup drawing and square cup drawing are analyzed using membrane analysis as well as shell analysis by the elastic-plastic finite element method. An incremental formulation incorporating the effect of large deformation and normal anisotropy is used for the analysis of elastic-plastic non-steady deformation. The computed results are compared with the existing experimental results to show the validity of the analysis. Comparisons are made in the punch load and distribution of thickness strain between the membrane analysis and the shell analysis for both cylindrical and square cup drawing processes. In punch load, both analyses show very little difference and also show generally good agreement with the experiment. For the cylindrical cup deep drawing, the computed thickness strain of a membrane analysis, however, shows a wide difference with the experiment. In the shell analysis, the thickness strain shows good agrement with the experiment. For the square cup deep drawing, both membrane and shell analyses show a wide difference with experiment, this may be attributable to the ignorance of the shear deformation. Concludingly, it has been shown that the membrane approach shows a limitation for the deep drawing process in which the effect of bending is not negligible and more exact information on the thickness strain distribution is required.
