Background Little is known about the sensate recovery of skin grafts over free non-neurotized muscle flaps. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity of free gracilis muscle flaps and meshed skin grafts without nerve coaptation. Methods Thirteen consecutive patients with a median age of 55 years (range, 21-70 years) who underwent lower extremity reconstruction between September 2014 and October 2016 were included. Complications, flap contour, skin perception, and sensate recovery were assessed. Results All flaps survived completely. In one patient, wound dehiscence and infection occurred 1 month after surgery. After a median follow-up of 14 months (range, 10-51 months), a satisfactory contour and skin perception were achieved. The Semmes-Weinstein (SW) monofilament test (154.8±22 g) and static two-point discrimination (2-PD) (12.6±0.7 mm) showed intermediate recovery compared to the surrounding site (41% and 76%, respectively). There was an intermediate correlation between flap size and sensate recovery (2-PD: r=0.27, P=0.36; SW test: r=0.45, P=0.12). Vibration sensation recovered to 60%, whereas thermal sensation remained poor (19% at 5℃ and 25% at 25℃). Conclusions Finer sensation could be partially restored. However, thermal sensation remained poor.

Recent advancements in optics technology enable us to realize fast scans of hands using two-dimensional (2D) image scanners. In this paper, we propose an automatic hand measurement system using 2D image scanners for customized glove production. To develop the automatic hand measurement system, firstly hand scanning devices has been constructed. The devices are designed to block external lights and have user interface to guide hand posture during scanning. After hands are scanned, hand contour is extracted using binary image processing, noise elimination and outline tracing. And then, 19 hand landmarks are automatically detected using an automatic hand landmark detection algorithm based on geometric feature analysis. Then, automatic hand measurement program is executed based on the automatically extracted landmarks and measurement algorithms. The automatic hand measurement algorithms have been developed for 18 hand measurements required for custom-made glove pattern making. The program has been coded using the C++ programming language. We have implemented experiments to demonstrate the validity of the system using 11 subjects (8 males, 3 females) by comparing automatic 2D scan measurements with manual measurements. The result shows that the automatic 2D scan measurements are acceptable in the customized glove making industry. Our evaluation results confirm its effectiveness and robustness.

The purpose of this study was to make a scale for measuring the subjective hand of fabrics. For this purpose subjective hand expressions which were published in the journals were reviewed. 11 pairs(9 biopolar-pairs, 2 unipolar-pairs) were selected after searching the definitions in a dictionary followed by focus group interview and survey. To find out if these terminological biopolar pairs are agreed with the biopolar pairs in human sensation, a survey of fabric hand was undertaken using a scale consisted of 20 words(18 words from biopolar-pairs, 2 words from unipolar pairs). Among 11 pairs, 10 pairs except [taktakhada-poksinhada] were accepted as biopolar pair of word terminologically and sensuously. [taktakhada-poksinhada] was recognized as a biopolar pair terminologically but not sensuously. These 20 words were classified as 5 factors-surface contour, density, flexibility, dampness, and extensibility

본 논문은 조명의 변화가 심한 영상에서 손 형태를 안정적으로 인지하는 기법에 관한 것이다. 제안한 방법은 HSI 색상공간에서 색상(Hue) 및 색상 기울기(Hue-Gradient)를 기반으로 정의된 배경모델을 구축하고, 실시간으로 입력되는 영상과의 배경차분(background subtraction)기법을 이용하여 배경과 손을 구분한다. 추출된 손의 영역으로부터 18가지의 특징요소를 추출하고 이를 기반으로 다중클래스 SVM(Support Vector Machine) 학습 기법을 사용하여 손의 형태를 인지한다. 제안 기법은 색상 기울기를 배경 차분에 적용함으로써, 조명 환경이 배경 모델의 조명과 다르게 급격한 변화가 이루어졌을 때도 안정적으로 손의 윤곽정보를 추출할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한, 실시간 처리를 저해하는 복잡한 손의 특성정보 대신, OBB의 크기에 대하여 정규화된 두 개의 고유값과 객체 기반 바운딩 박스(OBB)를 구성하는 16개 세부 영역에서의 손 윤곽픽셀의 개수를 손의 특성정보로 사용하였다. 본 논문에서는 급격한 조명 변화 상황에서 기존 RGB 색상요소를 기반으로 하는 배경차분법과 색상을 기반으로 하는 배경차분법, 본 논문에서 제안하는 색상 기울기 기반 배경 차분법의 결과를 비교함으로써 제안 기법의 안정성을 입증하였다. 6명의 실험대상자의 1부터 9까지의 수지화 2700개의 영상으로부터 손 특성 정보를 추출하고 이에 대하여 훈련을 통한 학습 모델을 생성하였다. 학습모델을 기반으로 실험자 6인의 손 형태 1620개의 데이터에 대하여 인지 실험을 실시하여 92.6%에 이르는 손 형태 인식 성공률을 얻었다.

In this paper we present an efficient technique for sketch-based 3D modeling using automatically extracted image features. Creating a 3D model often requires a drawing of irregular shapes composed of curved lines as a starting point but it is difficult to hand-draw such lines without introducing awkward bumps and edges along the lines. We propose an automatic alignment of a user's hand-drawn sketch lines to the contour lines of an image, facilitating a considerable level of ease with which the user can carelessly continue sketching while the system intelligently snaps the sketch lines to a background image contour, no longer requiring the strenuous effort and stress of trying to make a perfect line during the modeling task. This interactive technique seamlessly combines the efficiency and perception of the human user with the accuracy of computational power, applied to the domain of 3D modeling where the utmost precision of on-screen drawing has been one of the hurdles of the task hitherto considered a job requiring a highly skilled and careful manipulation by the user. We provide several examples to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the method with which complex shapes were achieved easily and quickly in the interactive outline drawing task.

Sensory attributes and preferences that contribute to consumer satisfaction with artificial leather were measured by subjective evaluation, and subjective hand and preferences were analyzed in relation to its use. Using tactile and visual senses, 50 experts in fashion and textile industry evaluated leathers classified into two categories, suede and polyurethane coated, according to different manufacturing methods. They answered questions on subjective hand and preferences of different artificial leathers of various fashion items (jackets, purses, bags, shoes, boots, furniture, etc.), using specific adjectives to describe the hand properties. As a result, it was found that the subjective hand properties of artificial leathers were related to 'Thickness', 'Fullness/softness', 'Surface contour', 'Stickiness', and 'Elasticity'. The leather type from different manufacturing methods influenced their perceived hand and preferences relating to use. By use, different hands were preferred. The preferences for jackets and furniture of suede type leathers were related to their surface properties, whereas the preferences for items of the other type of leathers were associated with their resilience. On the other hand, in the case of polyurethane coated leathers, the preferences for jackets were significantly affected by their thickness, while those for the other items were influenced by their resilience and surface properties.

심근관류 SPECT의 영상획득 방법에는 Body contour와 Circular 방식이 있고, 환자와 검출기 사이의 거리를 줄이기 위해 Body contour 방식을 주로 사용한다. 그러나 이중(Dual) 검출기 장비에서 수직방식으로 검출기를 설정하여 영상을 획득하는 경우에는 환자와 검출기 사이의 거리가 Body contour 방식이 Circular 방식에 비해 더 증가하는 경향이 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 이중 검출기 장비에서 수직방식으로 검출기를 설정하여 영상을 획득하는 경우, Body contour 방식과 Circular 방식에서 환자와 검출기 사이의 거리를 비교하고, 거리에 따라 영상에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 영상의 질을 높이기 위한 방안을 제시하고자 시행하였다. 실험에 사용된 장비는 GE INFINIA Gamma Camera와 Anthropomorphic torso 모형에 심장 모형을 삽입하여 영상을 획득하였고, 2011년 8월 본원에서 심근관류 SPECT를 시행한 환자 40명을 대상으로 하였다. 모형 제작은 실제 환자조건과 동일하게 하기 위하여 심근에 74 kBq (0.22 mCi)/cc, 폐에 2.59 kBq ($60{\mu}Ci$)/cc, 연부조직에 11.1 kBq (2.2 mCi)/cc의 201-Tl을 주입하여 제작하였고, 영상획득 조건은 회전각 $6^{\circ}$, 50 sec/frame으로 환자와 동일한 조건으로 하였다. 영상획득 방식에 따른 차이를 확인하기 위해 Body contour와 Circular 방식으로 영상을 획득하여 환자와 검출기 사이의 거리를 각각 측정하여 비교하였고, 정상군과 비 정상군의 영상을 육안 분석하였다. 거리에 따라 영상에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해, 모형 실험에서 Circular 방식으로 회전반경을 18.8, 21.8, 23.8, 25.8, 28.8 cm 로 다르게 설정하여 영상을 획득하였고, 각 영상에서 심첨(Apex)에 관심영역을 설정하여 반치폭을 비교하였다. 모형 실험 결과, Body contour를 이용한 실험에서 산출된 반치폭은 6.23 mm이고, Circular mode에서 18.8, 21.8, 23.8, 25.8, 28.8 cm의 회전반경으로 산출된 반치폭은 각각 5.41, 6.24, 6.33, 6.42, 6.93 mm이다. 환자 데이터에서 Body contour의 회전반경이 -3.5 cm ~ 9.5 cm으로 차이를 보였고, Circular mode에 비해 평균 2.5 cm 더 큰 차이를 보였다. 본 연구를 통해, INFINIA 장비에서 Circular mode가 Body contour를 사용한 영상 획득 방법보다 낮은 반치폭을 보였다. 비록 INFINIA장비의 두 가지 영상 획득 방식에 대한 비교였지만, INFINIA장비를 이용한 심근관류 검사에서는 Circular mode 의 영상 획득 방식이 더 적합하다고 사료된다.

Soybean fatty acid, the largest byproduct in the production of soybean oil, was formulated for hand cream, oil in water emulsion base, to improve the suppleness and elasticity of skin. The stability of emulsion observed by a macroscopic method was used as a characteristic index for deciding an optimum formula of hand creams. The optimum formula of the most stable hand cream was obtained from polynomial regression equation, contour graphs and partial derivative graphs. The values of soybean fatty acid and stearyl alcohol in the obtained optimum formula were 9.75 and 14.75 w/w%, respectively, and sodium lauryl sulfate was not needed. Experimental value for the stability of hand cream prepared according to the optimum formula was 76,14 days, and the prediction value by computation method was 73.25 days. From the results of accelerated tests by elevated temperature, the stability of hand cream by optimum formula was 1.7 year at room temperature $(25^{\circ}C)$. The hand cream containing soybean fatty acid was found to be free of primary irritant substance to the skin by Draize technique.

A total stroke of an opening or closing motion of a hinge mechanism for a folder-type mobile phone is composed of two portions. In the first portion, human fingers act a torque to open or close the folder. In this portion, the rotating folder compresses the coil spring installed in the hinge mechanism. In the last portion, this compressed coil spring generates a torque to rotate the folder. In this study, we have developed an algorithm to design a hinge mechanism to be operated by an arbitrary continuous torque in the first portion of the total stroke. Consequently, we can design hinge mechanisms that satisfy various demands of consumers. A pair of contours installed in the mechanism plays an important role. It transforms the folder's rotational motion into translation to compress the coil spring in the first portion; on the other hand, it transforms translational motion into the folder's rotation in the last portion. Using this algorithm we have designed the pair of the contour curves operated by an arbitrary continuous torque.
