Objective: The objective of this study is to understand the effect of angle and curvature of push-return switches, which are external factors in the operation environment inside the cars, on the feel of operation and to propose optimum alternatives. Background: Customers' needs for products are changing from functional and performance aspects to customer-led type where customers can reflect on their needs on the products. The operation inside cars is executed by HMI. The push-return switch is utilized as the most intuitive mode of HMI; therefore, this push-return switch, which is widely used, has to be developed by assessing the preference and satisfaction of the customer. Method: The angle and curvatures, which are external factors that affect the feel of operation, are drawn through surveying the preceding research literatures. The stages to construct alternatives in experiments are as follows: (1) the tactile switch is replaced after dismantling the switch assembly to evaluate the internal characteristics proposed by preceding researches, (2) a drawing is prepared by using a design software, is printed using 3D printer, and then it is attached on the switch assembly, and (3) evaluation for satisfaction of operation is carried out by using a driving simulator. Results: Both the angle and curvature that are external factors of switch significantly affect the feel of operation. However, interaction between the two factors is found insignificant. Therefore, an optimum alternative is proposed considering the experimental outcomes. Conclusion: This study evaluates the satisfaction in operation that affects the feel of operation environment inside the cars. Based on the study results, a guideline for switch design in the center fascia is proposed. Application: This study is expected to be used as basic data for designing automotive switches, as well as switches in the industries similar with the operation environments of cars.

The operation of wheel-loader is mainly divided into steering and excavating. The existing wheel-loader is used by handle for steering operation and by joystic for excavating operation. When we do steering and excavating operation simultaneously, we feel so uncomfortable because we have to use handle and joystic simultaneously. Therefore, we need to develop eletro-joystic steering system instead of hydraulic-handle steering system. So we can improve driving convenience in industrial field. This paper analyze spool of steering wheel and joystic and drive open area diagram. As a result, we can know characteristics of each valve before developing new electro-joystic steering system for wheel-loader.

A simple sustain driver employing an energy recovery function is proposed as a highly efficient driver of a plasma display panel. The proposed driver uses dual resonance in the sustaining mode operation: a main resonance between an inductor and an external capacitor to produce alternative pulses and a sub-resonance between an inductor and a panel to recover the energy consumption by the capacitive displacement current of the PDP. The operational principle and design procedure of the proposed circuit are presented with theoretical analysis. The operation of the proposed sustain driver is verified through simulation and experiments based on a 7.5-inch-diagonal panel with a 200 KHz operating frequency.

Disaster robots have accepted tele-operation in order to share the intelligence of human operators and robot systems. Virtual wall is one of the tele-operation technology to support recognition of human operator. If the virtual wall can block the robot from dangers, the operator will feel comfortable and can concentrate on fundamental missions. In this paper, we proposes and compares three methods for virtual wall visualization in tele-operation using 3D reconstruction. First is a virtual wall visualized only with edges. A wall filled with transparent color is the second method. Finally, third method is a texture-mapped virtual wall. In the experiments, we discuss their merits and demerits in view of robot tele-operation.

Forklift achieves transportation of freight and continues loading and unloading work repeatedly long for hours in industry spot. Therefore, drivers feel tired make a mistake for wrong operation of vehicle caused by continuous work. These components are resulted in CTDs, some industrial accident. That is the forklift need to ergonomics access. So, in this paper, requirements of forklift user were abstracted using questionnaire, produced important design factor for pedal and lever using QFD(Quality Function Deployment), and then suggested ergonomic considerations for industrial accident prevention.

Tilting train has been developed to increase the operational speed of the trains on conventional lines which have many curves. This train are tilted at curves to compensate for unbalanced carbody centrifugal acceleration to a greater extent than compensation produced by the track cant, so that passengers do not feel centrifugal acceleration and thus trains can run at higher speed at curves. This paper developed PDM(product data managemnet) to make a system engineering of TTX(tilting train express) with maximum operation speed 180 km/h.

A 31 year-old male patient underwent surgical treatment of the pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta complicating after the Bentall operation, He had undergone the replacement of the ascending aorta using the composite valved graft with direct coronary reimplantation under the diagnosis of the annuloaortic ectasia of ascending aorta associated with Marfan syndrome. Eleven months after the operation, he started to feel dyspnea and anterior chest pain, and was diagnosed as pseudoaneurysm around the ascending aortic graft. The second operation consisted of the dacron patch closure of the defect of the aortic graft which was the hole for previous coronary reimplantation, and the anastomosis between the coronary orifice and the aortic graft with the intermediate graft of a 10mm woven dacron tube, and suture closure of the fistula opening from the aneurysm. His postoperative course was uneventful and discharged without complication. He is doing well 10 months postoperatively.

EMU(Electric Multiple Unit) of Seoul Metro are equipped with air conditioning and six line flow fans for air circulation. In summer, the air conditioning and line flow fans usually work at the same time. Recently, high oil price leads more people to use public transportation, which in turn makes them feel hotter inside the rolling stocks and complain about air conditioning state. In order to improve indoor air quality in summer, it is inevitable to increase the cooling capacity of air conditioners, which costs a lot of money. Thus, we need to raise cooling efficiency by rearranging existing devices effectively. In this study, we found a better way to improve refreshment inside the trains by changing the operation method of line flow fans and door opening systems. The results will help improve the cooling efficiency of EMU in summer. Also, more precise experiments and analyses of our data can lead to various methods to increase energy efficiency.

The evaluation systems in SHS(Ship Handling Simulator) or ERS(Engine Room Simulator) give trainees the opportunity to feedback how they responded suggesting them the operation result by scores. If SHS and ERS are integrated each other by network to enable the synchronous training for both deck and engine officers these systems need to include inherently the function of integrated evaluation which produces the evaluation score for the team play of deck and engine officers. The integrated evaluation is effective especially when assessing the responses at emergency situation of ship or the matter of efficiency of ship operation even if assessors feel difficult in editing simulation scenarios for integrated evaluation. This study focuses on the property of integrated evaluation and considerations when editing them. It suggests also a useful procedure to estimate whether a scenario for integrated evaluation is reasonable and balanced or not based on the analysis in the proprieties and reasonabilities which are to be prepared by assessors before testing trainees or examinees.
