  • Purpose: Traumatic telecanthus can result from nasoethmoid-orbital fractures. Repair of the medial canthal tendon (MCT) using transnasal wiring is regarded as a choice of method to treat telecanthus, however, is often complicated by incomplete anchoring and drift of canthus, extrusion of wire, in-fracture of orbital bone, and eye damage. The authors introduced oblique transnasal wiring method through the Hiraga's epicanthopalsty incision instead of well-known classical bicoronal approach. Methods: Five patients with traumatic telecanthus were treated with this method. Though the Hiraga's epicanthoplasty incision, we could approach the operative field; the medial orbital wall and detached MCT. Oblique transnasal wiring was performed as following steps. After slit skin incision on the contralateral nasal recession area, drill holes were made from this point to the superior and posterior point of lacrimal sac of deformed eye. A 2-0 wire was double-passed through the holes and MCT. Traction was applied to ensure pulling the MCT and the wires were twisted in the contralateral nose, securing the MCT in the correct position. Results: All patients except 1 person showed improvement and rapid recovery. On average each canthus was moved 5.6 mm medially. In all cases, there were no eyelashes disappear, lacrimal canaliculitis, lacrimal duct injury, or infections. Conclusion: The Hiraga's epicanthoplasty incision could give sufficient operative field to reattach the MCT in traumatic telecanthus patients. And the oblique transnasal wiring technique is effective for the Asians who have flat nose and exophthalmic eye. The authors conclude that this technique could be a simple, safe and scarless method to correct traumatic telecanthus.

  • This paper presents the protection effect of surge protective devices(SPDs) according to the conditions of installations. To propose the effective protection measures of information and communication equipments against lightning surges, actual-sized experiments in relation to the protection effects on the positions of installations of SPDs, the length of branch circuit, the wiring methods, and the materials of conduit, were conducted. The effective method of protecting information and communication equipments from lightning surges is to install SPDs in the vicinity of input terminals of each electronic equipments to be protected. The wiring method of connecting an SPD minimizing the length of leads is desirable when point-to-point wiring is to be used.

  • High speed info-communications equipment are required with development of highly information-oriented society, the intelligent industrial facilities and social systems such as administrative, financial and traffic systems, are gradually becoming to automation, which are composed of the integrated circuits and micro-semiconductors, remote control and operation. Thus modern micro-electronic circuits can frequently be damaged by lightning surge. The protection of electronic circuits from lightning overvoltages is concentrated very interesting. In this paper, for the purpose of providing the effective protection method of electronic devices such micro-computers from lightning surges in a residential building, the protection effect of surge protective devices according to types of system groundings were experimentally analyzed. Also the effective installation method of surge protective devices was examined and proposed. The installation of SPDs in retrofits was a high remnant voltage across the protected device owing to the inductance in the long wires to the SPDs. Finally the method of installing the SPD by twisted pain wires is remarkably effective for fast rising transient overvoltages.

  • Recently, there are increasing social needs for stable supply of electric power and securing high quality of information and communication services. In this work, to propose the effective protection countermeasures of information-oriented equipments against lightning surges, the protection effects of surge protective devices(SPDs) were experimentally investigated using actual-sized test circuits in various installation conditions. As a result, it was found that the protection effect of SPDs is quite different depending on the factors, such as the grounding system of power source, numbers of branch circuits, wiring method of grounding leads, and etc. In case of installing SPDs for information-oriented equipments, including all electric power lines and communication lines, the common grounding should be the most effective. Wiring method containing grounding leads with power lines in metal conduit is suitable to improve the surge cutoff performance of SPDs.

  • Many researches on fire risk for normal electric wiring have been pursued in advanced countries such as the USA and Japan, but comparative studies of the partial disconnection and normal state of electric wires have not been conducted. Detection system for the cause of partial disconnection is not developed and prevention countermeasure for electrical fire by the cause is not effective. Therefore, in this paper, partial disconnection characteristics on electric wires were derived and analyzed by experiment and electrical-thermal finite element method(Flux 3D) on the model wires which consist of VCTF(PVC insulated PVC sheathed Cap Tyre Flexible Cord, KS C 3304) and IV(lndoorwire PVC, KS C 3302). VCTF is used in wiring portable electric appliances and the IV is used indoors. Interrelationships between partial disconnection premonitory symptom and current were derived and analyzed by the characteristics based on experiments and thermal analysis for electric wire according to current under normal state and 200% overload state of rated current.

  • Three-phase four-wire electrical distribution systems are widely employed in manufacturing plants, commercial and residential buildings. Due to the nonlinear loads connected to the distribution system, the neutral conductor carries excessive harmonic currents even under balanced loading since the triplen harmonics in phase currents do not cancel each other. This may result in wiring failure of the neutral conductor and overloading of the distribution transformer. In response to these concerns, a cost-effective neutral current harmonic suppressor system has been proposed [6]. This paper proposes an improved control method for the harmonic suppressor system under unbalanced load conditions. The proposed control method compensates for only the harmonic components in the neutral conductor, and the zero-sequence fundamental component due to unbalanced loading is prevented from flowing through the harmonic suppressor system. This remedies overloading and power loss of the system. The experimental results on a prototype validate the proposed control approach.

  • Byteflight is developed based on RS-485 communication (an international standard), and it can be used as a data bus during the operation of an integrated avionics system in the latest aircraft. Therefore, the integrated avionics system can perform an effective and safe flight mission only when the accurate and seamless display of flight information, communication, and accurate functions of navigation are implemented. In this study, cause analysis and failure investigation were performed on screen abnormalities and communication interruptions due to signal interference in the Byteflight data bus of the integrated avionics system during aircraft operation. To improve signal interference between avionics units, the branch point and wiring path of the Byteflight data bus were changed, and the verification result of the improved method was also described.

  • The fractures of lateral end of clavicle can be treated by conservative or operative treatment, but many authors report the higher rate of non-union with conservative treatment and that the operative treatment is more effective for the type II fractures. The authors reviewed and analysed 15 cases of lateral end fracture of clavicle which had been treated at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Kyungpook National University Hospital from 1991 to 1996. The results were as follows; 1. Among the 15 patients, male was 6,female 9 and the average age was 46.2 years ranged from 21 to 72 years. 2. According to the classification by Rockwood, type II a was 8 cases and II b was 7 cases. 3. We treated operatively 12 cases, 9 cases with tension band wiring and 3 cases with intramedul-Iary K-wire fixation. And we treated conservatively 3 cases with Velpeau cast, but I case of nonunion was treated with tension band wiring. 4. The average follow-up was 3.2 years ranged from 2.1 to 4.7 years. 5. The functional results were evaluated with Weitzman's classification. 6. In the operatively treated cases, there were 4 cases(30.7%) in excellent, 7 cases(53.8%) in good and 2 cases(15.3%) in fair result. But, in the conservatively treated cases, there were 2 cases in good and I case in poor result, and the poor case did not united and had open reduction and internal fixation. 7. In conclusion, the operative treatment revealed good functional results in most cases (10/12) and early open reduction and internal fixation was better method than conservative treatment.
