Objective: The purpose of this study is to show the effectiveness of performing squat exercises at various angles to show the maximum muscle activity of the Vastus Medialis Oblique (VMO) and Biceps femoris (BF). Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: A total of seventeen healthy young adults (8 males and 9 females) voluntarily participated in the study. All subjects randomly performed three different squat variations as follows: A squat performed with the ankle joint at $0^{\circ}$ of incline, a squat performed with the ankle joint at $5^{\circ}$ of incline, and a squat performed with the ankle joint at $10^{\circ}$ incline. Muscle activity was measured using surface electromyography. Electrodes were placed on the VMO and BF to measure the muscle activity on the various ankle angles for comparison analysis. Results: There was a significant increase in bilateral VMO muscle activation at $10^{\circ}$ of incline compared to $0^{\circ}$ and $5^{\circ}$ (p<0.05). Greater increases in muscle activation and exercise effect was observed with increasing incline angles of the board. Changes in bilateral BF muscle activity were found; however, none were found to be significant. Conclusions: Bilateral VMO activity was found to be significant when the squats were performed at an ankle angle of $10^{\circ}$ of incline when compared to at an ankle angle of $0^{\circ}$ and $5^{\circ}$ of incline. Squats performed on an incline can be recommended as an effective method to facilitate lower extremity muscle activities.

The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for a form of gait by comparing and analyzing gait motions on different grades and speeds. In order to accomplish the purpose, 6 university students, whose ages between 20 - 25, were selected. They have gaited on 3Km/h, 4Km/h, 5Km/h of speed and 4 video cameras were used to film them. The speed of filming was 60 frame / seconds. The special variations of kinematics in gait were fixed with ankle joint angle, knee joint angle, hip joint angle, ankle angular velocity, knee angular velocity and hip angular velocity. In this study, the SPSS 10.0 for windows statistical package was used to operate on significant level of .05 for statistical management. From the result of this study, we have succeeded to obtain following conclusions; 1. As the speed increased, the value of ankle joint angle increased. Also the value of ankle joint angle was larger on decline than on incline. 2. As the speed increased, the value of knee joint angle was increased. 3. As the speed increased, the value of hip joint angle was decreased. 4. As the speed increased, the value of ankle angular velocity increased. And the value of ankle angular velocity became higher on decline than on incline. 5. The value of knee angular velocity showed higher on decline than on incline. 6. As the speed increased, the value of hip angular velocity was increased. Also the value of hip angular velocity became higher on incline than on decline.

Heat distortion of the non-contacting mechanical face seal is affected by friction heat between primary seal and seal sheet. The fluid or gas in mechanical face seal maintains operating gap, cooling friction heat and lubricates at the face of seal. So we designed face of seal for inclined face. inclined face of seal improves fluid or gas flow at the face of seal and it increases circumferential velocity at outer radius of the seal so temperature of the seal is decreased by low heat transfer coefficient at there. In this paper, inclined face seal are analysed numerically using finite element method for proof improve inclined face seal performance. Angle of the incline face used for FEA is from 50$^{\circ}$to 90$^{\circ}$and for explaining the effects of inclined face in seal, we get temperature, face distortion, and stress in the seal with variable operating gap and rotating speeds. Result of analysis shows that angle of the incline face is 60$^{\circ}$come to good thermal distortion characteristics.

사회 인구학적 특성을 보정 하였을 때 대사 증후군의 예측에 가장 높은 연관이 남녀 모두에서 비만-복부 비만군이라고 보고되고 있으며, 의료기기의 발전과 더불어 방사선에 대한 피폭선량이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 이에 흉부 X선 검사에서 복부의 비만정도를 가정하여 흉부팬텀에서 앞쪽방향(forward)으로 각도를 부여한 후 기준영상과 비교하여 입사표면선량과 영상의 왜곡 정도를 평가하였다. 흉부팬텀의 각도가 앞쪽방향으로 $5^{\circ}$ 증가할 때 마다 폐의 가로직경은 1.22%, 세로직경은 0.44% 증가하였다. 심장직경은 앞쪽방향으로 $5^{\circ}$ 증가할 때 마다 1.01% 증가, CTR은 0.27% 감소가 관찰되었다. 그 중 폐의 가로직경이 가장 큰 증가, 폐의 세로직경이 가장 작은 증가를 보였고 CTR은 작은 감소를 보였다. 그러나 팬텀에 입사하는 표면선량 측정의 경우, 흉부팬텀의 각도가 앞쪽방향으로 $5^{\circ}$ 증가할 때 마다 6.12%의 비교적 큰 증가를 보였다. 임상에서 흉부 X-선 후전방향촬영을 시행하는 경우, 복부비만 등으로 인해 흉부의 각도가 기울어짐에 따라 영상의 왜곡뿐만 아니라 환자에게 노출되는 선량이 증가되고 재촬영으로 추가적인 방사선 피폭이 발생될 수 있으므로 올바른 위치잡이에 주의를 기울여 환자의 방사선피폭 감소에 노력을 해야 할 것이다.

Recent studies on ankle-foot prostheses used for transtibial amputees have focused on the adaptation of the ankle angle of the prosthesis according to ground conditions. For adaptation to various ground conditions (e.g., incline, decline, and step conditions), ankle-foot prostheses should first recognize the ground conditions as well as the current human motion pattern. For this purpose, the ground reaction forces and orientation angle of the tibia provide fundamental information. The measurement of the orientation angle, however, creates a challenge in practice. Although various sensors, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, can be utilized to measure the orientation angles of the prosthesis, none of these sensors can be solely used due to their intrinsic drawbacks. In this paper, a time-varying complementary filtering (TVCF) method is proposed to incorporate the measurements from an accelerometer and a gyroscope to obtain a precise orientation angle. The cut-off frequency of TVCF is adaptively determined according to the human gait phase detected by a fuzzy logic algorithm. The performance of the proposed method is verified through experiments.

좁고 길게 굴착된 고랑형태의 되메움 지반의 토압에 관한 해석에 널리 사용되어져 오던 Marston(1913), Spangller(1982) 이론은 R.L. Handy(1985)가 굴착벽면과 되메움 흙과의 상호작용에 의한 최소주응력의 고리를 연결한 최소주응력 아치로서 표현함으로 보다 명확한 설명이 가능하게 되었다. 이후 C.G. Kellogg(1993)는 지금까지 주로 수직하게 대칭된 공간만을 대상으로 논의 되오던 되메움 공간형태를 경사지게 대칭된 공간형태에 대하여 연구를 확장하였다. 발표된 C.G. Kellogg(1993) 이론식은 이론식의 도출 과정에 있어 경사 벽면의 마찰저항이 아닌 경사단면 저부에서 연직한 되메움 흙 자체의 내부 마찰의 크기로서 가정하였다. 본 연구는 C.G. Kellogg가 적용한 경사단면 저부에서 연직한 면의 마찰저항은 경사진 단면에서의 마찰저항과는 다른 크기를 갖을 것이며 이 크기는 토압 산출에 영향을 미칠것으로 판단되어 이를 실내모형 토조실험, C.G Kellogg(1993) 이론식, 수치해석, 실제 경사벽면에 미치는 마찰저항을 고려한 수정된 C.G. Kellogg 이론식으로 규명하고자 하였다.

The three-dimensional profile of a solder fillet is predicted by minimizing the surface tension and gravity energies of the solder joint using finite element modeling. Geometric complexity stemming from the inclined plane of the gullwing lead is resolved by employing three element types. These element types are used to describe the joint profile formed on the vertical, inclined and interfacial planes. The predicted solder joint profiles show good agreements with the experimental data provided that the solder volume is adjusted considering the wicking effects. Effects of the pad length, inclined lead angle and solder volume on joint profiles are also investigated.
