Use of a glove made of materials with a low elasticity decreases the performance of the hand such as agility, dexterity, range of motion, and grip strength. The present study examined if the adverse effects of a low-elastic glove can be reduced by a design which accommodates the changes of hand surface lengths by hand motion. Two glove designs which provide patches of elastic cloth and pleats at the finger joints and knuckle were developed by considering the hand surface length changes, and then compared with two conditions(bare hand and conventional glove design that does not consider the dynamic characteristics of the hand dimensions) in terms of completion time in peg board insertion task, maximum grip strength, discomfort in hand motion, discomfort in force exertion, and overall discomfort by 24 right-handed participants. The test results confirmed that wearing of a glove significantly reduced the agility and grip strength capability of the hand and indicated that the novel designs were effective to lessen the performance decreases compared to the conventional design. Also, of the glove designs, the pleat glove design was found most preferred for both better hand performance and less subjective discomfort.

Glove valves are used for various purposes in the process control field because such valves enable easy control of temperature and pressure. However, such valves are associated with significant loss of pressure and also have the disadvantage of complicating the shape of the cage or plug to facilitate linear flow rate change. In this paper, the shape of the plug, one of the valve flow control elements, was designed to improve the flow characteristics of the glove valve, and then CFD analysis was performed using compressible fluid. The numerical analysis results of the glove valve were analyzed according to the opening ratio and the pressure ratio of the valve. From these results, it was found that the proper notch on the side of the plug contributed to reducing the energy loss of the fluid through the valve and improving the linearity of the valve.

최근 세계 각국의 경제적 성장과 함께 건강한 삶에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있으며, 이에 따른 스마트헬스케어 산업이 활성화 되고 있다. 스마트헬스케어 분야에서는 IoT기술의 부각에 따라 웨어러블 형태의 생체정보 계측기술이 부각되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 웨어러블 헬스케어에 응용이 가능하고 활동 중에도 편리하게 심박동의 모니터링을 수행 할 수 있는 장갑형태의 착용형 심박동 모니터링시스템을 구현하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 손가락 말초에서의 혈류량변화를 모니터링하고 디스플레이 할 수 있는 장갑형 웨어러블 헬스케어시스템을 제작하고 그 성능평가를 수행하였다. 실험결과 실제 일상생활 중 움직임을 수반하더라도 심박동의 모니터링이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

A mechanical device was developed for assisting the grasping function of a person whose fingers suffered cervical injury and thus are unable to grasp. This device is composed of a mechanical glove put on the user's hand and a muscle sensor to measure the activity of his or her muscle. The mechanical glove consists of a finger frame, a base and an air cylinder mounted on the base. With the kinematics carefully designed, the finger frame can achieve the grasping motion under the actuation of the air cylinder. For controlling this motion, an innovative sensor was developed to detect the user's motion intention. The sensor measures the change of the muscle stiffness...

A glove design which reflects the changes in hand surface by hand motion can reduce the undesirable effects of use of gloves on hand performance. The present study examined changes in hand length dimensions due to hand motion and identified significant factors affecting the length changes. Recruiting 120 males and females in their 20s and 30s having various hand lengths, this study measured 10 hand length dimensions, defined at 2 hand areas(phalangeal and metacarpal areas) for 5 digits, when the hand is stretched and in fist, and then calculated the percentage of length increase for each dimension. ANOVA and simple-effect analyses showed the length change percentages were mainly different depending on digit and hand area: 111-127% at the phalangeal area and 112-116% at the metacarpal area. The length change percentages of the index, middle, ring, and little fingers in the phalangeal area ascended in order and showed a high correlation(r = 0.94)with the ranges of motion of the fingers.

The purpose of this study was to analyze microbial hazards for cultivation environments and personal hygiene of strawberry and tomato farms at the growth and harvesting stage. Samples were collected from thirty strawberry farms and forty tomato farms located in Korea and tested for Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus. To investigate the change in the distribution of the S. aureus and B. cereus, a total of 4,284 samples including air born, soil or medium, mulching film, harvest basket, groves and irrigation water etc. were collected from eight strawberry farms and nine tomato farms for one year. As a result, total S. aureus and B. cereus in all samples were detected. Among the total bacteria of strawberry farms, S. aureus (glove: $0{\sim}2.1Log\;CFU/100cm^2$, harvest basket: $0{\sim}3.0Log\;CFU/100cm^2$, soil or culture media: 0~4.1 Log CFU/g, mulching film: $0{\sim}3.8Log\;CFU/100cm^2$), B. cereus (glove: $0{\sim}2.8Log\;CFU/100cm^2$, harvest basket: $0{\sim}4.8Log\;CFU/100cm^2$, soil or culture media: 0~5.3 Log CFU/g, mulching film: $0{\sim}4.5Log\;CFU/100cm^2$) were detected in all samples. The total bacteria of tomato farms, S. aureus (glove: $0{\sim}4.0Log\;CFU/100cm^2$, harvest basket: $0{\sim}5.0Log\;CFU/100cm^2$, soil or culture media: 0~6.1 Log CFU/g, mulching film: $0{\sim}4.0Log\;CFU/100cm^2$), B. cereus (glove: $0{\sim}4.0Log\;CFU/100cm^2$, harvest basket: $0{\sim}4.3Log\;CFU/100cm^2$, soil or culture media: 0~5.9 Log CFU/g, mulching film: $0{\sim}4.7Log\;CFU/100cm^2$) were detected in all samples. The contamination of S. aureus and B. cereus were detected in soil, mulching film and harvest basket from planting until harvest to processing, with the highest count recorded from the soil. But S. aureus and B. cereus were not detected in irrigation water samples. The incidence of S. aureus and B. cereus in hydroponics culture farm were less than those in soil culture. The amount of S. aureus and B. cereus detected in strawberry and tomato farms were less than the minimum amount required to produce a toxin that induces food poisoning. In this way, the degree of contamination of food poisoning bacteria was lower in the production environment of the Korea strawberry and tomato, but problems can be caused by post-harvest management method. These results will be used as fundamental data to create a manual for sanitary agricultural environment management, and post-harvest management should be performed to reduce the contamination of hazardous microorganisms.

치과 임상실습에서의 손의 수세와 장갑착용의 미생물 차단효과에 대해 알아보기 위하여 수세하지 않고 장갑을 착용하는 경우, 비누와 데톨로 수세한 후 장갑을 착용한 경우로 구분하여 손과 장갑의 일반 세균 수를 측정하였고 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 수세하지 않고 장갑을 착용한 손과 장갑에서는 $9.938{\time}10^3CFU/ml$, 비누로 수세한 후 장갑을 착용한 손과 장갑에서는 $9.44{\time}10^3CFU/ml$, 데톨로 수세한 후 장갑을 착용한 손과 장갑에서는 $6.58{\time}10^2CFU/ml$의 일반 세균이 검출되었다. 비수세의 경우 가장 많은 수의 일반 세균이, 비누로 수세한 경우에는 비수세와 유사한 일반 세균 수가 검출되었으나 데톨로 수세한 경우의 일반 세균 수는 급격히 감소하여 비누로 수세하는 것은 병원성 미생물 차단에 효과적이지 않지만 데톨로 수세하는 것은 일반 세균 수 감소에 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 수세하지 않고 장갑을 착용한 경우와 수세한 후 장갑을 착용한 모든 경우에서 일반 세균 수가 감소하여 장갑의 미생물 차단 효과가 명확하게 보여졌다. 비누와 데톨로 수세 후 장갑을 착용한 경우 일반 세균 수는 장갑 착용 3시간이 경과하여도 변화가 적었지만 수세하지 않고 장갑 착용한 경우 처음 장갑을 착용한 3시간 이후부터 일반 세균의 수가 다시 증가하는 경향을 보여 적어도 장갑 착용 3시간 이후부터는 같은 환자의 시술 중이라도 새로운 장갑으로 교체를 하는 것이 미생물 감염 발생 가능성을 최소화하기 위해 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

Skilled typists can type characters or words without looking at keyboard, relying on the finger's relative position. If the relative positions of the fingers can be identified, a virtual keyboard may be accomplished by applying the concept of "DataGlove" or "FingerRing". The virtual keyboard may be efficient as a new mobile input device supporting QWERTY keyboard layout. For the purpose of investigating skilled typing pattern, in this paper the touch-positions of the fingers are measured with a touchscreen while five skilled typists type a long sentence. From these measurements it can be observed that the groups of touch-positions are classified into alphabet characters. Though there are some overlapped groups we can find constant distances capable of being discriminated among the groups from investigation of the change of touch-position for touch-time. Based on the analysis, the prediction algorithm of the constant distance is proposed and evaluated, which is useful for realization of a portable virtual keyboard.le virtual keyboard.
