Korean medical device industry has laid the foundation for full-fledged growth and development with the G7 medical engineering technology development project that started in 1995, and the medical device production in 2020 increased by 8.52 times and the export by 13.94 times, compared to those in 2001. In early years, electronic medical devices such as ultrasound imaging device contributed greatly to Korean medical industry, but top ranks in medical device production and export in Korea has shifted recently to in vitro diagnostic medical devices and dental implants. However, the share of imported medical devices in the Korean medical device market have not changed much; it still ranges in 60 to 70%, as the Korean medical device industry produces and exports mid- to low-priced medical devices, and technology-intensive and capital-intensive high-priced medical devices are mainly imported. In this paper, we compare the leading medical devices produced by major Korean companies and those by global top medical device companies to suggest strategies for the Korean medical device companies to enter the global market.

Mobile communication technology is advancing forward to deliver more connected devices and richer content and applications. The number of subscriptions continues to grow along with an explosive increase in the mobile data traffic demand. Thereby, it creates a significant network capacity shortage concerns for mobile network operators. In order to address this problem, it is essential to increase the network capacity at a low additional cost. The device-to-device (D2D) communication based proximity service is believed to have a promising future mobile communication technology that is capable to create new mobile service opportunities and offload traffic to the eNB. In addition, it is also required to develop new mobile communication services and its business models not only to accommodate the increasing mobile traffic demand but also to foster profitability of mobile business service providers such as the network providers, contents providers and platform providers. In this article, we first analyze current mobile business eco-system in the context of CPNT based value chain. Then, propose service development framework and business model creation methodologies for the device-to-device communication based services in the beyond LTE/LTE-Advanced systems.

An impact-type seed-metering device was developed for the planting of rice-pellets. In this study, new design of pellet-metering device focused on simplicity and precision seeding for the planting of rice-seed pellets. In addition of seed-metering device, several devices were also developed such as seed-guiding device, seed-supplying tube and furrow opener for precision pellet planting. Field test was conducted to estimate the planting performance of the developed metering device. As a cam rotates, the impact bar of the metering device pushes a rice-seed pellet so that the seed can be discharged from the seed-supplying tube in the impact-type seed-metering device. Results of the tests showed that mean seeding spacing was 12cm at the traveling speed of 1.0m/s, corresponding to a target spacing for planting of rice-seed pellets. Also, both miss-seeded rate and damaged-seed rate were less than 2.0%, indicating acceptable levels for the precision planting. The developed mechanism of the impact-type metering device can be directly applied to the design of metering devices for the precision pellet planting of other crops.

In an examination of the temporomandibular joint disc, MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a useful method, and it is necessary to conduct an examination with one's mouth open for a long time to observe the accurate position change of the disc. Thus, this study would produce a TMJ device, using the 3-D printing technology, which would maintain the state of opening the mouth and would evaluate its usefulness as compared to the existing fixed device. As compared to the image using the existing TMJ device, the image taken with the self-produced TMJ device with a 3-D printer showed a somewhat lower SNR, but there was no defect for a clinical use. It is judged that benefits to costs would increase, since it can be customized for the individual patient and can contribute to the production of similar tools by utilizing the 3-D printing technology.

This paper proposes a new haptic device using a parallel mechanism with gimbal type actuators. This device has three legs actuated by 2-DOF gimbal mechanisms, which make the device simple and light by fixing all the actuators to the base. Three extra sensors are placed at passive joints to obtain a unique solution of the forward kinematics problem. The proposed haptic device is developed for an operator to use it on a desktop in due consideration of the size of an average Korean. The proposed haptic device has a small workspace for on operator to use it on a desktop and more sensitivity than a serial type haptic device. Therefore, the motors of the proposed haptic device are fixed at the base plate so that the proposed haptic device has a better dynamic bandwidth due to a low moving inertia. With this conceptual design, optimization of the design parameters is carried out. The objective function is defined by the fuzzy minimum of the global design indices, global force/moment isotropy index, global force/moment payload index, and workspace. Each global index is calculated by a SVD (singular value decomposition) of the force and moment parts of the jacobian matrix. Division of the jacobian matrix assures a consistency of the units in the matrix. Due to the nonlinearity of this objective function, Genetic algorithms are adopted for a global optimization.

Recently, improved capabilities of the mobile device is represented in a demand for same level services with the desktop device services but the service that is developed for desktop device is not compatible with mobile devices. To fulfill these demands, it is needed to provide services with considering features of mobile devices. This means that CP(Contents Provider) must do contents transformation in order to make suitable contents on mobile device. For managing some information that is required to do contents transformation, we need the DDR(Device Description Repository) which can store and search a variety of device information to grasp the constraints on the mobile device as compared with desktop devices. Also, defining standard API is required to offer a service regardless of platforms. Hereupon W3C(World Wide Web Consortium) introduced DDR Simple API. However that specifies the limited functions of DDR, which is inevitable to be added for more precise search services. In this paper, we expanded DDR Simple API and implemented DDR that supports DDL(Device Description Language) conversion and storing and searching device information.

Wolsong NPP are CANDU6 type reactors and there are 4 CANDU6 type reactors in commercial operation. CANDU type reactors require on-power refuelling by two remote controlled F/Ms (Fuelling Machines). Most of channels, fuel bundles are float by channel coolant flow and move toward downstream, however in about 30% of channels the coolant flow are not sufficient enough to carry fuel bundles to downstream. For those channels a special device, FARE (Flow Assist Ram Extension) device, is used to create additional force to push fuel bundles. It has been showing that during fuelling operation of some channels the channel coolant flow rate is reduced below specified limit (80% of normal), and consequently trip alarm signal turns on. This phenomenon occurs on selected channels that are instrumented for the channel flow and required to use the FARE device for refuelling. Hence it is believed that the FARE device causes the problem. It is also suspected that other channels that do not use the FARE device for refuelling might also go into channel flow low state. The analysis revealed that the channel How low occurs as the FARE device is introduced into the core and disappears as the FARE device is removed from the core. This paper presented the FARE device behavior, detailed fuelling operation sequence with the FARE device and effect on channel flow low phenomena. The FARE device components design changes are also suggested, such as increasing the number or now holes in the tube and flow slots in the ring orifice.

OLED는 유기재료를 사용하는 특수성 때문에 선명한 고품질의 화질을 얻을 수 있다. 유기재료에 따른 수명이 정해져 있지만 열에 약한 재료를 사용하기 때문에 출력되는 색의 변화를 동반할 만큼 불안정 하다. OLED는 RGB를 순서에 따라 유리 기판 상에 나열한 구조이며 각 화소의 양극과 음극은 가로와 세로로 서로 직교하고 있다. 이러한 OLED의 구조 때문에 직, 간접적으로 전이되는 열과 OLED Device에서 발생하는 자체 열로 인하여 유기소자의 특성이 변형되는, 이른바 열화현상에 쉽게 노출되어 있다. OLED Device를 제작한 후 72시간동안 8V의 전압을 인가하여 열화현상을 촉진시킨 Aging샘플을 확보 하였다. Aging된 Device의 인가전압을 3V ~ 6V까지 변화를 주고 측정해본 결과 각각의 모든 전압에서 Aging Device의 Nomalized Intensity가 상대적으로 20% 감소했음을 확인 하였다. 또한 Aging 된 Device는 As is Device에 비해 단파장 쪽으로 Shift 되는 결과를 보여주었다. 이를 분석하기 위해 CIE 색 좌표계의 NTSC (National Television System(s) Committee)를 이용하였는데, 범위 안에 있던 As is Device의 색 좌표가 Aging 후에는 NTSC범위 밖으로 이동하였는데, 이는 열화현상이 발생하기 전에 비해 방출되는 빛의 파장이 변했다는 것을 의미하며 정확한 색 재현이 안 된다는 것을 보여준다. 또한 I-V특성을 보면 Aging Device의 구동전압 (3.3V) 이 As is Device (2.7V) 에 비해 더 커지는 것을 확인하였는데 이것은 스트레스로 인해서 발생한 트랩에 의하여 캐리어의 이동도가 떨어졌기 때문에 구동 전압이 증가한 것으로 확인할 수 있다. 연구 결과를 통하여 OLED Device의 사용시간 누적에 따른 열화현상은 색 재현성과 휘도의 저하 그리고 구동전압 증가에 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인 하였다.

This paper concerns the kinematic characteristics of a coupling device in a deep-seabed mining system. This coupling device connects the buffer system and the flexible pipe. The motion of the buffer system, flexible pipe and mining robot are affected by the coupling device. So the coupling device should be considered as a major factor when this device is designed. Therefore, we find a stable kinematic device, and apply it to the design coupling device through this study. The kinematic characteristics of the coupling device are analyzed by multi-body dynamics simulation method, and finite element method. The dynamic analysis model was built in the commercial software DAFUL. The Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) method is applied to build the deep-seabed environment. Hydrodynamic force and moment are applied in the dynamic model for the FSI method. The loads and deformation of flexible pipe are estimated for analysis results of the kinematic characteristics.
