Background: The purpose of this study was to develop a sit-to-stand transfer assistive device, and to conduct a feasibility test. Design: A technical note. Methods and results: In this study, we developed a sit-to-stand transfer assistive device for the elderly and the disabled who have difficulty standing up independently from sitting positions. The sit-to-stand transfer assistive device allows the user to transfer the weight from a sitting position to a standing position while shifting the weight forward by grabbing and pulling a support stand. Ten healthy adults participated in the feasibility test of the device. Each participant used the developed sit-to-stand transfer assistive device and investigated supplementation through a brief interview. As a result of the feasibility test, the opinion was that the device could assist the sit-to-stand transfer to some extent. There were opinions that it needed a function to adjust the height of the knee protective plate in the sitting position according to the user's physical characteristics. Because of the inconvenience of operating the lock device for fixing the position and adjusting inclination, there was an opinion that the improvement for a locking device is needed. There were opinions that it would be better to reduce the size of the device due to its inconvenience of portability. Conclusion: In this study, we developed the sit-to-stand transfer assistive device for the elderly and the disabled who have difficulty standing up independently from sitting positions. In addition, it is considered that the upgrade of the device is necessary for the future since there are supplementary opinions on some points.

한국의 의료기기 산업은 1995년부터 시작된 G7 의료공학기술개발사업으로 본격적인 성장과 발전의 기틀을 마련하였으며 2020년 한국 의료기기 생산실적은 2001년에 비하여 8.52배, 수출 실적은 13.94배 성장하였다. 의료기기 국산화 개발 초기에 초음파 의료기기 등 전자 의료기기의 개발이 활발하였던 것과 비교하여 2020년에는 체외진단시약과 치과용 임플랜트의 생산 및 수출 실적이 상위권을 차지하고 있다. 그러나 한국 의료기기 시장에서 수입 의료기기가 차지하는 비중은 60-70%에서 큰 변화가 없는데 이는 한국의 의료기기 산업이 중저가 의료기기를 생산 수출하고, 기술집약적이고 자본집약적인 고가 의료기기는 주로 수입에 의존하고 있기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 한국과 세계시장의 주요 의료기기 회사들의 생산 품목을 비교하여 한국 의료기기 산업의 세계 시장 진출에 대한 전략을 제시하고자 한다.

스포츠화의 설계에서 신발 앞축 부분의 굽힘강성은 매우 중요한 설계인자이지만, 측정하기가 어렵다. 본 논문은 이러한 굽힘강성을 측정하는 장비를 소개한다. 장비는 알루미늄 프레임 구조와 AC 모터, 2개의 로드셀, 엔코더와 제어용 하드웨어로 구성되어있으며, 신발의 굽힘 모멘트를 측정하는 메카니즘을 소개하였다. 유용성을 입증하기 위하여, 신발의 소재와 디자인이 굽힘강성에 미치는 영향을 관찰하는데 사용되어 졌다. 실험을 위하여 신발 중창소재의 경도와 두께를 달리하여 완성신발 시편을 제작하였다. 이들 시편으로 굽힘실험을 수행하고, 최소자승법을 사용하여 굽힘강성을 구하였다. 실험결과 PU 중창으로 만든 신발이 PH 중창으로 만든 신발보다 굽힘강성이 높았으며, 중창의 두께가 중창의 경도보다 굽힘강성에 미치는 영향이 크다는 것을 알아낼 수 있었다. 따라서, 이러한 실험결과를 바탕으로, 본 측정장비는 유용한 실험결과를 도출할 수 있었으며, 이 장비를 통하여 측정된 신발의 굽힘강성은 신발 설계의 유용한 설계인자로 활용될 수 있다고 사료된다.

무선이동통신 단말기의 기능 및 서비스가 복잡해지면서 단말기의 소프트웨어도 복잡해져서 관리의 대상이 되었다. 통신, 방송이 융합되고 텔레매틱스나 홈네트워크가 활성화되면 단말기 소프트웨어는 더욱 복잡해지고 관리의 필요성은 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 단말기 관리에 관한 세계적인 표준으로서 많이 적용되고 앞으로 더욱 확산될 것으로 예상되는 기술이 바로 OMA DM이다. 본 논문에서는 OMA DM 표준을 기반으로 무선단말기 관리 응용으로서 무선이동통신 단말기의 소프트웨어를 관리하는 ThinkSync DM SoftMan의 개발 결과를 제시한다. 본 논문에 앞서 실시한 ThinkSync DM SoftMan의 설계결과를 요약하고 설계에 따라서 구현한 결과와 시험을 실시한 결과를 제시한다

In this paper, we intend to demonstrate a new intuitive force-feedback device for advanced VR applications. Force feed-back for the device is tension based and is characterized by 7 degrees of freedom (DOF); 3 DOF for translation, 3 DOF for rotation, and 1 DOF for grasp). The SPIDAR-G (Space Interface Device for Artificial Reality with Grip) will allow users to interact with virtual objects naturally by manipulating two hemispherical grips located in the center of the device frame. We will show how to connect the strings between each vertex of grip and each extremity of the frame in order to achieve force feedback. In addition, methodologies will be discussed for calculating translation, orientation and grasp using the length of 8 strings connected to the motors and encoders on the frame. The SPIDAR-G exhibits smooth force feedback, minimized inertia, no backlash, scalability and safety. Such features are attributed to strategic string arrangement and control that results in stable haptic rendering. The design and control of the SPIDAR-G will be described in detail and the Space Graphic User Interface system based on the proposed SPIDAR-G system will be demonstrated. Experimental results validate the feasibility of the proposed device and reveal its application to virtual reality.

Even though graphene was introduced with a great hope to replace silicon in future, small (or zero) band gap and poor stability have become major challenges in graphene electronics. Especially, rectification and amplification function which are the elemental functions of silicon device, is very difficult to implement without a bandgap. However, the graphene can still be used in many other device applications if the merits of graphene are creatively utilized. For example, graphene can be applied to almost any kind of substrate. Its conductivity can be varied in some degree using electric field, charge dipole, attached molecules, and many other ways. Recently, graphene stacked with ferroelectric materials or piezoelectric materials has been actively studied for various device applications. In this talk, various device applications of graphene using hybrid stack or novel device structure will be introduced and their prospect will be discussed.

Existing input devices for desktop computers are not suitable for wearable computers because they are neither easy to carry nor convenient to use in a mobile working environment. Different input devices for wearable computers must be developed. In this paper, a wireless glove-based input device for wearable computers is proposed. The proposed input device consists of a pair of chording gloves. Its keys are mounted on the fingers and their chording methods are similar to those of a Braille keyboard. RF (Radio Frequency) and IrDA (Infrared Data Association) modules are used to make the proposed input device wireless. Since the Braille representation for numbers and characters is efficient and has been well established for many languages in the world, the proposed input device may be one of good input devices to computers. Furthermore, since the Braille has been used for visually impaired people, the proposed one can be easily used as an input device to computers for them.

We proposed AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) using thermal oxidation for NiOx passivation. Auger electron spectroscopy, secondary ion mass spectroscopy, and pulsed I-V were used to study oxidation features. The oxidation process diffused Ni and O into the AlGaN barrier and formed NiOx on the surface. The breakdown voltage of the proposed device was 1520 V while that of the conventional device was 300 V. The gate leakage current of the proposed device was 3.5 ${\mu}A/mm$ and that of the conventional device was 1116.7 ${\mu}A/mm$. The conventional device exhibited similar current in the gate-and-drain-pulsed I-V and its drain-pulsed counterpart. The gate-and-drain-pulsed current of the proposed device was about 56 % of the drain-pulsed current. This indicated that the oxidation process may form deep states having a low emission current, which then suppresses the leakage current. Our results suggest that the proposed process is suitable for achieving high breakdown voltages in the GaN-based devices.

The spiral coil contains the moxa in order not to drop the moxa while operating Results The direct temperature on the burning moxa were measured by TK-305 infrared thermometer. But the direct temperature on the needle of acupuncture-moxibustion device were not able to measure by TK-305 infrared thermometer. By definition equation, the indirect temperatures on the needle of acupuncture-moxibustion device were able to be calculated. Conclusion A very safe, small and cheap acupuncture-moxibustion device for GV20(Baihui) of head is proposed. It will be useful to generate the heat shock protein and to operate in preventing and curing the Alzheimer's disease.
