In the recent field of Machining, with the improving efficiency of processing, the index table is a key unit according to the increase of parts in available processing when working with the three axes at the same time. As an essential product of MCT, the index tables effect an influence on product quality of machined parts. Therefore, it is necessary to design the shape of index table with stability, high stiffness, lightweight structure. In this study, the optimal shape of index table was proposed using by design of experiment. The maximum displacement and stress analysis were carried out by using FEM software. The optimized shape was verified by using the statistical software. The results of shape optimization were confirmed that both displacement and stress were reduced in comparison with initial model.

Objective: Patients with stroke generally diminished ankle range of motion, which decreases balance and walking ability. This study aimed to determine the effect of ankle self-mobilization with movement (s-MWM) on ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion, timed up and go test, and dynamic gait index in patients with chronic stroke. Design: Randomized controlled trial design Methods: Twenty-four post-stroke patients participated in this study. The participants were randomized into the control (n = 12) and self-MWM groups (n = 12). Both groups attended standard rehabilitation therapy for 30 minutes per session. In addition, self-MWM group was performed 3 times per week for 8 weeks. All participants have measured ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion, timed up and go test, and dynamic gait index in before and after the intervention. Results: After 8 weeks of training, self-MWM group showed greater improvement in ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion, timed up and go test, and dynamic gait index than in the control group (p<0.05). Further, self-MWM group had significantly improvement in all dependent variables compared to the pre-test (p<0.05). Conclusions: Our investigation demonstrates that self-MWM is beneficial for improving functional ability. Also, self-MWM was superior to control with respect to improving ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion, timed up and go test, and dynamic gait index.

This study focuses on the driving control design of an index, which is a key component of a rotary transfer machine that is effective in improving productivity and reducing manufacturing costs by shortening cycle time. Although various index studies have been conducted on the rotation of workpieces such as general-purpose machine tools and tilting indices, the development of an index for rotary transfer machines for transfer is insufficient. The index consists of a body, table, hydraulic cylinder, motor, reducer, and curved coupling. The torque of the table for driving was selected, and the angular velocity and torque pattern were simulated using the motor manufacturer's program. The specifications of the drive motor were determined based on the selected torque.

In this study, an optimization design of reinforced concrete structures is performed by using the structural optimization techniques based on the LRFD criteria. The target reliability index is estimated by the optimal reliability index considering the expected cost which is taken as a sum of the structural cost and the expected costs due to failure of the structure. The load and resistance factors calculated by using level I reliability theory with the target reliability index are compared for each load combination (D+L, D+L+w). The results of this study show that the resistance factors are ${\phi}_{M}$=0.90, ${\phi}_{V}$==0.70, ${\phi}_{C}$==0.65 and the load factors are 1.20D + 1.70L, 1.07L + 0.07L + 1.10W. The optimization techinques used to this study are S.L.P. The optimization design based on the LRFD criteria is more economical and rational than other criteria.

This paper proposed a service satisfaction index in the service design. We utilize the service blueprint as the basic tool for the service process analysis, construct a service flow fishbone diagram which consists of the encounters representing the interaction between customer and service deliverer. To evaluate the service satisfactions of the service element a service satisfaction function is used. The service satisfaction function has the generic properties of the prospect theory with the probabilistic utility value in order to evaluate the service bundle which Is constructed by tangible and intangible service elements. A numerical example using the A/S service of Electronic Co. is presented for the verification.

Reasonable disaster prevention signs play an important role in guiding evacuation. Through the field investigation on disaster prevention signs in shelters and surrounding areas in Beijing, some problems were found in the using of sign system. Based on the principle of integrated design, evacuation and rescue requirements, it is necesssary to make further study on aspects such as, design of function, systematic consideration, humanization design, as well as the internationalization using. This paper presents an evaluation index system for disaster prevention signs. Such a system is very important for strengthening the independent guiding function of sign systems and improving evacuation efficiency. An effective connection could be realized between the internal environment of buildings, evacuation routes, and emergencey shelters.

This study intends to the adequacy inspection of the room temperature variation rate that is available in the building heat performance evaluation index, so we performed the sensitivity analysis about the room temperature variation rate and the energy consumption in the room. For these purpose, we supposed the models which are composed of the various window area, insulation thickness and ventilation rate. Then we analyzed the simulation using the ESP-r and Seoul weather data. In this research, the pattern of the increasing & decreasing rate of annual load according to the change of the various design factors is similar to the pattern of increasing & decreasing rate of not the K-values but the room temperature variation rate. Also we derive the optimum value of the various design factors and the room temperature variation rate in this analysis model. Further study is to be required the development of convenient tool to use in the real design.

The concept of "Allowable Load Set (ALS)" introduced by the author allows an easy understanding of load and strength characteristics of a structure in relation to its integrity under uncertainties. Two criteria of safety are introduced: A relative safety index denotes the distance to the boundary of the ALS and a normalized safety index is a distance in terms of functional value. They have been utilized in several examples, including multi-body mechanical systems such as a biomechanical system. Both formulations amount to robust designs in the sense that designs most insensitive to uncertainties are obtained in the context of newly defined safety indices, without using any input probability information.
