This paper presents design and control of a wheelchair robot for handicapped or elderly persons. Novel multi-functional design concepts are introduced. The first function is to balance the chair always parallel to the flat ground so that the driver feels comfortable when he/she drives on the slope. The second function is to help the driver to stand up by pushing the chair so that the driver can get out from the chair with ease. The third design is to make it foldable for easy carrying for automobiles. The last function is an immediate stop and start protection. Experimental studies are conducted to demonstrate the feasibility and functionality of each mechanical design.

Recently, the technology for flexible electronics such as flexible smart phone, foldable displays, and bendable battery is under active development. With approaching the real commercialization of flexible electronics, the electrical and mechanical reliability of flexible electronics have become significantly important because they will be used under various mechanical deformations such as bending, twisting, stretching, and so on. These mechanical deformations result in performance degradation of electronic devices due to several mechanical problems such as cracking, delamination, and fatigue. Therefore, the understanding of relationship between mechanical loading and electrical performance is one of the most critical issues in flexible electronics for expecting the lifetime of products. Here, we have investigated the effect of monotonic tensile and cyclic deformations on metal interconnect to provide a guideline for improving the reliability of flexible interconnect.

The Christianity that spread to Egypt in 3rd century in A.D. is called Copt. Coptic Church built a lot of monasteries along the lower stream of Nile River, which produced thousands of text and paintings. Ethiopia is well known for its worship to Virgin Saint Mary and produced many paintings of Virgin Saint Mary in different costumes. The pictures usually came in foldable small books containing 3 pictures. The paintings usually featured Virgin Saint Mary and Jesus Christ dressed as royalty in crowns, saints and angels. There are saints on white horse, mirroring the oriental influence on Coptic painting. This research will look into the patterns and colours on the Coptic textiles, mainly tapestry.

형태 변형이 가능한 스마트 디바이스 관련 기술이 급성장하고 있다. 스마트폰과 스마트패드의 등장이 사용자들의 콘텐츠 활용방식에 큰 영향을 끼쳤던 것과 같이 스마트 디바이스의 형태 변형은 사용자들의 콘텐츠 활용 경험에 많은 영향을 미칠 것이다. 이에 이 연구에서는 미래 디바이스의 형태변화 유형을 Bendable, Foldable, Stretchable, Squishable로 정의하고 형태 변형을 인터랙션 관점에 따라 Input과 Output의 영역으로 분류하며, 분류된 유형별 특성을 기존 연구를 기반으로 콘텐츠 경험의 관점에서 분석하여 향후 각 유형별로 형태 변화가 콘텐츠 조작 및 소비에 미치는 영향을 정립 및 예측하였다.

최근 노년인구의 증가로 이동 보조기기의 수요가 증대되고 있다. 이동 보조 기기 중 하나인 보행보조기의 수요도 늘고 있다. 보행보조기란 고령자나 환자들 같은 지역 이동이 불편한 사람들의 체중을 분담 받아 보행을 도와주는 기기이다. 본 논문에서는 현재 수동 보행보조기에 전동 기능을 탑재하여 사용자들의 보행을 도와주는 전동 보행보조기를 제작하였다. 또한 장거리 이동시 차에 실어 이동 시킬 수 있도록 경량의 접이식 구조를 적용하여 설계 및 제작 하였다.

미래형 전자소자는 높은 성능과 더불어 소형화, 박막화를 거쳐 휘어질 수 있고(flexible), 착용이 가능하며(wearable), 접을 수 있거나(foldable) 늘어날 수 있는(stretchable) 방향으로 발전해 가고 있다. 실리콘, 갈륨비소 등 무기소재를 기반으로 하는 전자소자의 경우 그 성능은 우수하나 딱딱하고 휘어질 수 없는 반면, 유기소재를 기반으로 하는 경우 보다 유연한 구조를 가질 수 있지만 성능이나 신뢰성면에서 아직 개선할 점이 많이 남아있다. 최근에는 성능이 우수한 무기소재를 초박막 형태로 구성하여 이를 휘거나 늘어날 수 있는 기판에 부착하는 형태의 소자들이 많이 개발되고 있으며 이를 통해 박막트랜지스터, LED, CMOS 회로, 태양 전지 및 각종 센서 등이 휘거나 심하게 변형될 수 있는 형태로 진화하였으며, 기존에 구현하기 어려웠던 피부에 부착이 가능한 전자소자, 반구형 구조를 갖는 이미지 센서 등의 구현이 가능하게 되었다. 무기소재 박막을 플렉서블 기판에 부착시키는 데에는 전사 프린팅(transfer printing) 방법이 핵심기술로서 주로 이용된다. 본 튜토리얼은 플렉서블/스트레쳐블 전자소자의 구현을 위한 전사 프린팅 방법을 소개하고, 구체적인 공정 방법과 이를 이용한 독특한 형태 전자소자의 개발에 대해 다루고자 한다.

In this paper, the concept of design for environment (DFE) was introduced to mechanical design and manufacturing of cellular phone case. A new evaluation method integrated in existing product manufacturing process was developed and applied to two different types of cellular phone cases: foldable type and slider type. The evaluation results suggested that scores for 'refurbishments & recycle' criterion were relatively low for their cases. This evaluation method may assist designers to draw a checklist of the product's weak points from the perspective of DFE. From the checklist, the designers can consider possible improvements in future design.

The breakthrough behaviour of activated charcoal cloth samples against an oxygen analogue (OA) of sulphur mustard has been studied using the modified Wheeler equation. Activated charcoal cloth samples having different surface area values in the range of 481 to $1290m^2/g$ were used for this purpose. Breakthrough behaviour was found to depend on the properties of the activated charcoal cloth, properties of the OA and the adsorption conditions. Activated charcoal cloth with a high surface area of $1290m^2/g$, relatively large surface density of $160g/m^2$ and coarser fiber structure exhibited better kinetic saturation capacity value, 0.19 g/g, against OA vapours when compared to others, thus confirming its potential use in foldable masks for protection against chemical warfare agents.

Generally, a structural system with large inextensional deformations, or in other words, non-strained deformation is called as 'Unstable Structure', Truss-linked structures, cable structures, membrane structures and movable structures as foldable space structures etc, are included in this category. In this paper, a dynamic analysis method for unstable structural systems is presented. Governing equations for dynamic analysis of unstable truss structures with inextensional displacements are derived. Because of singularity of inverse matrixin in practical analysis of unstable structure, the generalized inverse matrix is Introduced to resolve the singular problem. Also, the RREF technique is used to get the inextensional displacement mode. Two unstable truss structures are analyzed by using presented method. Damping is not considered. From the given results, it is known that proposed method is useful to figure out the dynamic behavior of unstable truss structures.

The purpose of this study is to explore an inquisitive and innovative approach to structure and form, Calatrava's morphogenetic mechanism and to trace the ideas behind his working methods and his theoretical preoccupations. The bridges and buildings of S. Calatrava possess a breathtaking rhythm and of them some are designed to expand and contract like living organisms. The analogy Calatrava has used as a creative tool to mutate human bodies into arcing roof forms and bridge suspensions is introduced to illustrate the morphogenetic process. At the same time, the analysis used developing how to design frame structures foldable with brilliant mathematical solution is also investigated. Consequently, the potentialities of Calatrava's morphogenetic mechanism to invent new systems are generated by methodological hypothesis; analysis and analogy.
