The contact tip for gas metal arc welding has important functions to transmit the welding current to the wire and to guide the wire to molten pool. If the contact tip is damaged, it is a cause of lowering the welding productivity due to removal of welding defects and replacement of contact tip. In case of the use of a contact tip for a long time the arc is unstable because the processed hole in the contact tip center is larger, and the variation of aiming position of the welding wire causes a seam tracking error. In this study, gas metal arc welding experiments using contact tip of three different materials were performed. The contact tips with Cu-P, Cu-Cr, and Cu-ODS were used at the experiments, and the welding characteristics by each contact tip were evaluated. After welding contact tip appearance, welding spatter adhesion amount of the nozzle, and weld bead appearance were evaluated. The welding current and welding voltage were measured to verify arc stability during arc welding.

A small engine-oil-deterioration detection sensor was developed and installed at the tip of a dipstick gage. The sensor part was manufactured using printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing technology. A set of sensor covers was installed in order to protect the sensor and realize good signal stability. The small engine-oil-deterioration detection sensor system comprised a dual sensor having etched copper electrodes coated with gold and ceramic, a flexible PCB (FPCB) acting as electric wire, and a dummy PCB with only a lock connector. The sensor can easily be installed by insertion through the guide tube of a dipstick gage. Thus, a driver can easily handle it without further installation equipment. The sensor can determine the level of deterioration in the engine oil by estimating the corresponding dielectric constant of the engine oil.

Ferro-cement is a composite material made of portland cement mortar and wire(or chicken wire) reinforcement. In most cases, as a shipbuilding material, reinforcing steel rods and steel pipes are also used. This report will review the technique of ferro-cement boat building and will guide the working details. Beyond these, this report will present some test results of the ferro-cement test pannels and will compare those with the other well known shipbuilding material. As a matter of fact ferro-cement application to the shipbuilding material is quite not a new theory. There were already lots of case studies and actual ship building applications. But the technique to do this is not easily available to the interested persons and amateur shipbuilders. Therefore this report will stress most its "state-of-the-art review" and give kind guidance in using ferro-cement as a shipbuilding material. For the more interested research worker, technical references as much as listable are printed in the bibliography section on this report.

Buried bumper syndrome is a rare but potentially severe complication of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube insertion. Though this complication is uncommon, it may lead to pressure necrosis, bleeding, perforation, peritonitis, sepsis, or death. Each case of buried bumper syndrome is unique in terms of patient comorbidities and anatomic positioning of the buried bumper. For this reason, many approaches have been described in the management of buried bumper syndrome. In this case report, we describe the case of an adolescent Caucasian female who developed buried bumper syndrome three years after undergoing percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy insertion. We review diagnosis and management of buried bumper syndrome and describe a novel technique for bumper removal in which we use a guide wire in combination with external traction to maintain a patent gastrostomy lumen while removing the internal percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy bumper.

새로 개발된 다기능 위.십이지장관 코일 카테타의 유용성을 체외실험을 통하여 평가하고자 한다. 위.십이지장 코일 카테타는 전체길이가 150 cm되게 하여 두께 0.3 mm의 스테인레스 세선을 내경 1.3 mm 코일스프링으로 만들고 폴리에틸렌계의 열수축 튜브를 피복하였다. 카테타의 원위부 끝에서 2 0cm 지점까지 금 표식자 7개를 부착하여 방사선 투시상 길이 측정이 가능하게 하였으며, 원위부 7cm, 13 cm, 19 cm 지점에 조영제 분사가 가능하도록 측부 분사구를 제작하였다. 기존의 5 Fr. 혈관용 카테타와 새롭게 제작된 코일 카테타를 대상으로 방사선 불투과도와 조영제 분사능력을 평가하였다. 방사선 불투과도는 필름농도를 비교하였고, 조영제 분사능력은 아크릴을 이용하여 4개의 함을 제작하고 그 내부에 카테타를 위치시킨 후 자동주입기를 이용하여 생리식염수를 주입하여 카테타 내부에 안내철사를 삽입했을 경우와 하지 않았을 경우에서의 조영제 분사율을 측정하였다. 방사선 불투과도는 5 Fr. 혈관용 카테타에서 0.51, 새롭게 제작된 코일 카테타는 0.31이 측정되었고, 조영제 분사량은 5 Fr. 혈관용 카테타는 안내철사를 삽입한 경우와 삽입하지 않은 경우 동일하게 원위부에서만 99.5%분사하였다. 코일 카테타는 안내철사를 삽입한 경우 원위부로부터 각각 1.17%, 18.8%, 41.8%, 38.2%가 분사되었고 안내철사를 삽입하지 않았을 경우 원위부로부터 각각 19.5%, 32.6%, 27.7%, 20.3%가 분사되었다. 새로 개발된 위.십이지장 카테타는 기존의 카테타와 비교하여 방사선 투시상 확인이 용이하여 길이측정이 쉽고, 조영제 분사능력이 우수하여 위.십이지장의 중재시술시 유용하게 사용될 것으로 판단된다.

Objective : To improve pedicle screw placement accuracy with minimal radiation and low cost, we developed specially designed K-wire with a marker. To evaluate the accuracy of thoracolumbar pedicle screws placed using the novel guide-pin and portable X-rays. Methods : Observational cohort study with computerized tomography (CT) analysis of in vivo and in vitro pedicle screw placement. Postoperative CT scans of 183 titanium pedicle screws (85 lumbar and 98 thoracic from T1 to L5) placed into 2 cadavers and 18 patients were assessed. A specially designed guide-pin with a marker was inserted into the pedicle to identify the correct starting point (2 mm lateral to the center of the pedicle) and aiming point (center of the pedicle isthmus) in posteroanterior and lateral X-rays. After radiographically confirming the exact starting and aiming points desired, a gearshift was inserted into the pedicle from the starting point into the vertebral body through the center of pedicle isthmus. Results : Ninety-nine percent (181/183) of screws were contained within the pedicle (total 183 pedicle screws : 98 thoracic pedicle screws and 85 lumbar screws). Only two of 183 (1.0%) thoracic pedicle screws demonstrated breach (1 lateral in a patient and 1 medial in a cadaver specimen). None of the pedicle breaches were associated with neurologic or other clinical sequelae. Conclusion : A simple, specially designed guide-pin with portable X-rays can provide correct starting and aiming points and allows for accurate pedicle screw placement without preoperative CT scan and intraoperative fluoroscopic assistance.

In this study, we propose a system for setting a Destination on CNS(Car Navigation System) or PNS(Personal Navigation System). The present Navigation does set the destination by only static method like name search, address search and wire telegraph telephone number search. But, the kind of setting a static destination does not reflect the dynamic moving situation. So we suggest setting the destination of navigation using Identifier of moving terminal. And it includes privacy protection on personal position information

Group B Streptococcal sepsis and/or meningitis is one of the most serious and common diseases in the neonatal period with high mortality and frequent complications. We have experienced a case of late onset type group B streptococcal sepsis and meningitis with a complication of subclavian vein catheterization catheterization. This 29-day-old male neonate was admitted to intensive care unit with the presentation of fever and septic shock. He was born with Cesarean delivery at 36 weeks and 3 days of gestational age. He showed multiple episodes of seizure after admission and group B streptococcus was isolated from blood. CSF profiles 10 days after admission showed the features of bacterial meningitis without organism isolated. Diffuse cerebral infarction was detected on brain CT 24 days after admission. In the 13th hospital day, the complication of subclavian vein catheterization occurred; Guide wire was cut during insertion and the distal portion of it(2.5cm) was retained in the left subclavian vein. We removed the retained guide wire with goose-neck snare catheter via right femoral vein. This case was presented with a brief review of the literatures.

Arrhythmias are complications of tunneled cuffed hemodialysis catheter insertion. Most complications associated with arrhythmias occur during guide-wire access, where the guide wire can cause traumatic damage to the conduction system of the heart. Conducting system injury in tunneled cuffed hemodialysis catheter insertion often involves the right bundle, causing right bundle branch block (RBBB). Transient RBBB with sinus rhythm is not usually accompanied by abnormal vital signs. However if patients already have left bundle branch block (LBBB), new onset RBBB can cause complete atrioventricular block (AVB), which can lead to fatal complications requiring invasive treatment. We report on a patient with LBBB who developed complete AVB during hemodialysis catheter insertion.
