This paper proposes a new concept of a soft and wearable upper-limb exoskeleton. A novel actuation principle, called the twisted string actuation principle, is implemented to make it lightweight, soft, and therefore easily wearable. Its power transmission mechanism and harness are designed to be soft and wearable, yet have enough control accuracy for rehabilitation. In addition to force transmission optimization, a speed enlargement mechanism is newly introduced in order to increase the contraction speed of the twisted string actuation mechanism by sacrificing the unnecessarily large gear reduction ratio of the twisted string mechanism. A prototype has been tested for mirroring therapy, and the feasibility of the proposed mechanism has been shown through a sufficiently accurate tracking performance.

본 논문은 자계센서를 이용하여 원격 가스 검침 시스템을 구현하였다. 현재까지 개발되고 있는 스캔 방식은 온도, 습도, 분진, 진동에 영향을 많이 받는다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문은 가스의 유입량에 따라 회전하는 체인지기어의 가장자리에 영구자석을 부착하고, 계량기 몸체의 외벽에 영구자석의 자기장을 측정할 수 있는 홀 소자를 설치하였다. 체인지 기어에 의해 영구자석이 회동하여 홀 소자에 근접할 때 자기장을 검출하고, 그 검출된 신호를 카운트함으로써 가스 사용량을 검침하였다. 이 방식은 온도, 습도, 분진, 진동에 영향을 받지 않았으며, 높은 정확도를 나타내었다.

본 논문에서는 다양한 착륙환경변수를 고려한 달착륙선의 착륙안정성 평가를 수행하였다. 달착륙선의 착륙안정성에 대한 판단 기준을 안정착륙, 미끄러짐(Sliding)으로 인한 조건부 안정착륙, 전복(Tip-over)으로 인한 불안정착륙으로 3가지로 분류하였다. 특히 달착륙선 전복 각도 예측을 위해 달착륙선이 착륙할 때 무게중심이 낮아지고, 착륙장치의 풋패드 간격이 늘어나는 현상을 고려하는 변수를 사용하여 준정적 전복해석식을 정리하였다. 이 결과를 상용유한요소 구조해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS를 사용하여 달착륙선의 유한요소 모델해석을 통해 얻은 결과와 비교하여 타당성 및 정확성을 검증하였다. 검증된 유한요소모델을 착륙자세, 횡방향속도, 지면의 각도, 마찰계수 등 다양한 환경변수에 따른 해석을 실시하고 그 경향성에 관해 검토하였다.

This study aims to investigate effects of the length of the buoy and sand bag line on the loss of webfoot octopus pot. A numerical modeling and simulation was carried out to analyze the process that the pot gear affected by wave using the mass spring model. Through the simulation, tensions of sand bag line under various condition were investigated by length of buoy and sand bag line. The drag force and coefficient k of an artificial shell used in the webfoot octopus pot was obtained from an experiment in a circular water channel, and the coefficient k was applied to the simulation. To verify the accuracy of the simulation model, a simple test was conducted into measuring a rope tension of a hanging shell under flow. Then, the test result was compared with the simulation. The lengths of the buoy line in the simulation were 1.12, 1.41, 1.80, 2.23, 2.69, and 3.17 times of water depth. The lengths of sand bag line were 10, 20, 30, and 40 meters, and conditions of water depth were 8, 15, 22 meters. 4 meter height and 8 second period of wave were applied to all simulations. As a results, the tension of the sand bag line was decreased as the buoy and sand bag line were increased. The minimum tension of the sand bag line was appeared in conditions that the length of the buoy line is twice of water depth and the sand bag line length is over 40 meters (except in case of depth 8 meters.).

There have been many solar tracking systems developed for the high accuracy in solar tracking. One of the key components of any motion control system is software. LabVIEW offers an ideal combination of flexibility, ease-of-use and well-integration with other I/O pieces for developing solar tracking system. Real-time solar positions which vary with GPS's data are used simultaneously to control the solar tracker by a chain of operating modes between the open and closed loops. This paper introduces a step by step procedure for the fabrication and performance assessment of a precision solar tracking system. The system developed in this study consists of motion controllers, motor drives, step-motors, feedback devices and application. CRD sensors are applied for the solar tracking system which play a primary role in poor conditions for tracking due to a gear backlash and a strong wind. Mini-dish was used as a concentrator for collecting sun light. The solar position data, in terms of azimuth and elevation, sunrise and sunset times was compared with those of KASI(Korea Astronomy & Space Science Institute). The results presented in this paper demonstrate the accuracy of the present system in solar tracking and utilization.

A coelostat is often used for solar observations, because it corrects the image rotation automatically by guiding sunlight into a fixed telescope with two plane mirrors. For the purposes of education and spectroscopic observation, the solar group at Seoul National University (SNU) plans to develop the SNU coelostat (SNUC) and install it in the SNU Astronomical Observatory (SAO). Requirements of the SNUC are < 1" positioning accuracy with 30 cm beam size on the entrance pupil in the compact dome. To allow for installation in the small dome, we design a compact slope type coelostat with a 45 cm primary plane mirror and a 39 cm secondary plane mirror. The motion of the SNUC is minimized by fixing the position of the slope frame. Numerical simulations of the available observational time of the designed coelostat shows that the sun can be observed ay all times from June to early August and at least three hours in other months. Since the high accuracy driving motors installed in the SNUC can be affected by external environment factors such as humidity and temperature variations, we design a prototype to test the significance of these effects. The prototype consists of a 20 cm primary plane mirror, a 1 m slope rail, a direct drive motor, a ballscrew, a linear motion guide, an AC servo motor, a reduction gear and a linear encoder. We plan to control and test the accuracy of the prototype with varying atmospheric conditions in early 2019. After testing the prototype, the SNUC will be manufactured and installed in SAO by 2020.

차량의 변속기어가 체결된 주행 상태에서 가속페달을 방치하는 경우 연료차단 주행이 시작된다. 적극적인 연료차단 주행을 활용하면 차량 연비가 개선된다. 본 연구에서는 차량의 속도, 가속도, 도로구배를 입력데이터로 사용하여 연료차단 주행 여부를 예측할 수 있는 딥러닝 기법을 제안하였다. 약 12km 정도의 도로주행을 통해 측정한 9600개의 데이터에 은닉층 3~10개, 매개변수 10~20개의 딥러닝 연산법을 적용하여 연료차단 주행여부를 예측하였다. 연산 결과, 렐루함수를 활성화함수로 적용하고 은닉층 7개, 매개변수 10개인 경우 정확도 84.5% 수준으로 예측할 수 있었다. 입력데이터인 속도, 가속도, 도로구배의 변화율이 연료소모율 데이터의 변화율에 비해 큰 것이 오차의 원인으로 판단된다. 따라서 입력데이터 정규화 과정을 통해 정확도를 높일 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구의 특징은 차량의 연료분사 인젝터나 OBD 데이터를 사용하지 않고 GPS 등에서 쉽게 측정할 수 있는 데이터에 딥러닝을 적용한 방식이다. 또한 연산량이 적어 본 연구에서 제안한 방식으로 친환경 경제운전에 적용하기 용이할 것으로 기대된다.

The under-drive brake piston is an important component in automotive transmissions. It changes the velocity by controlling the gear ratio. It has been traditionally manufactured by hot forging. Recently, there has been an effort to replace this traditional manufacturing method with cold forging in order to improve the dimensional accuracy and decrease the surface roughness. Cold forging uses a smaller amount of initial material and also has a shorter cycle time since the forged surface can be the final surface without the need of post-processing such as machining or grinding. In the current study, finite element analysis was conducted to evaluate a process design using an initial plate with reduced thickness. This smaller thickness decreases the amount of material needed for the part as well as the machining to produce the final product.

A barrel cam is used as a very important part of an index drive unit. The index drive unit must have an intermittent-rotational motion. The barrel typed cam and roller gear mechanism has the advantages of high reliability to perform a prescribed motion of a follower. This paper proposes a new method for the shape design of the barrel cam and also a CAD program is developed by using the proposed method. As defined in this paper, the relative velocity method for the shape design calculates the relative velocity of the follower versus cam at a center of roller, and then determines a contact point by using the geometric relationships and the kinematic constraints, where the direction of the relative velocity must be parallel to a common tangential line at the contact point of two independent bodies, i.e. the cam and the follower Then, the shape of the cam is defined by the coordinate transformation of the trace of the contact points. This paper presents two examples for the shape design of the barrel cam in order to prove the accuracy of the proposed methods.

There have been many developed systems for harnessing the solar energy such as solar water heaters, solar thermal power systems, PV systems, daylighting and solar hydrogen systems. all of them are capable of reducing $CO_2$ emission. However, the efficiency of those systems which work without a solar tracker is lower. This paper is a step by step procedure for fabrication and a performance test of a solar tracking system. The system developed in this study consists of motion controllers, motor drives, step-motors, feedback devices and application. CdS sensors are introduced into the solar tracking system for playing a primary role in poor conditions for tracking due to a gear backlash and a strong wind. Mini-dish was used as a concentrator for collecting sun light. The solar position data, in terms of azimuth and elevation, sunrise and sunset times was compared with those of KASI(Korea Astronomy & Space Science Institute). The results presented in this article provide the high accuracy of the present system in solar tracking and indicate a potential for energy savings.
