Purpose: Interface pressure is a factor that contributes to the occurrence of pressure injuries. This study aimed to investigate interface pressure at common sites of pressure injury (occipital, gluteal and peritrochanteric areas), to explore the relationships among risk factors, skin condition and interface pressure, and to identify risk factors influencing interface pressure. Methods: A total of 100 patients admitted to the intensive care unit were enrolled at a tertiary teaching hospital in Korea. Interface pressure was recorded by a scanning aid device (PalmQ). Patient data regarding age, pulmonary disease, Braden Scale score, body mass index, serum albumin, hemoglobin, mean blood pressure, body temperature, and oxygen saturation were included as risk factors. Data collected from July to September 2016 were analyzed using binary logistic regression. Results: The mean interface pressure of the occipital, gluteal, and right and left peritrochanteric areas were 37.96 (${\pm}14.90$), 41.15 (${\pm}16.04$), 53.44(${\pm}24.67$), and 54.33 (${\pm}22.80$) mmHg, respectively. Predictive factors for pressure injuries in the occipital area were age ${\geq}70$ years (OR 3.45, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.19~9.98), serum albumin deficit (OR 2.88, 95% CI: 1.00~8.26) and body temperature ${\geq}36.5^{\circ}C$ (OR 3.12, 95% CI: 1.17~8.17); age ${\geq}70$ years (OR 2.81, 95% CI: 1.10~7.15) in the right peritrochanteric area; and body temperature ${\geq}36.5^{\circ}C$ (OR 2.86, 95% CI: 1.17~6.98) in the left peritrochanteric area. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that old age, hypoalbuminemia, and high body temperature may be contributory factors to increasing interface pressure; therefore, careful assessment and nursing care of these patients are needed to prevent pressure injury. Further studies are needed to establish cutoff values of interface pressure for patients with pressure ulcers.

In this paper, one general approach is proposed for the design of power system that can be applicable for next generation LEO satellite application. The power system consists of solar panels, battery, and power control and distribution unit(PCDU). The PCDU contains solar array modules, battery interface modules, low-voltage power distribution modules, high-voltage distribution modules, heater power distribution modules, on-board computer interface modules, and internal DC/DC converter modules. The PCDU plays roles of protection of battery against overcharge by active control of solar array generated power, distribution of unregulated electrical power via controlled outlets to bus and instrument units, distribution of regulated electrical power to selected bus and instrument units, and provision of status monitoring and telecommand interface allowing the system and ground operate the power system, evaluate its performance and initiate appropriate countermeasures in case of abnormal conditions. We review the functional schemes of the main constitutes of the PCDU such as the battery interface module, the auxiliary supply module, solar array regulators with maximum power point tracking(MPPT) technology, heater power distribution modules, spacecraft unit power distribution modules, and instrument power distribution module.

본 논문에서는 동영상 부호화기에서 프레임 메모리 인터페이스의 하드웨어 구현을 위해 기존의 DRAM이 아닌 SDRAM을 사용하여 효율적인 메모리 맵의 구조를 제안한다. 동일한 버스에서도 효과적인 메모리 맵과 내부 버퍼 크기를 줄여 하드웨어 복잡도을 개선하고 내부 로직을 간략화하여 면적을 최소화하였다. 기존의 시스템은 매크로 블록 단위로 메모리에 저장하고 다시 출력을 위해서 랜덤하게 저장되어 있는 데이터를 액세스하여 많은 시간을 소비한다. 따라서 데이터를 라인 단위로 저장 및 처리하므로 메모리의 엑세스 시간을 효과적으로 줄일 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다.

PJB(Prefabricated Joint Box) is consisted of three major components ; an epoxy unit, a stress relief cone and a spring unit. The insulation structure of PJB is maintained by the interfacial pressure, and the dielectric performance at the interface depends on the interfacial pressure which is regarded as the most important factor for preventing breakdown failure. This experiment was performed to investigate breakdown voltage characteristic and partial discharge patterns under the controlled pressure conditions at the simulated interface. Finally, this paper presents the optimal pressure conditions at the interface by analyasing the PD patterns.

As the interface bonding phenomenon between the matrix and the reinforcements has a large effect on the mechanical properties of MMCs, a sugestion of the strength analysis technique considering the residual stress and the interface bonding phenomenon is very important for the design of pans and the estimation of fatigue behavior. In this paper the three dimensional finite element anaysis is performed during the elasto-plastic deformation of the particulate reinforced metal matrix composites. It was analyzed with the volume fractions in view of microscale. Bonding strength. interface separation and matrix void growth between the matrix and the reinforcements will be predicted on deformation under tensile loading. An interface seperation is estimated by the fracture criterion which is a critical value of generalized plastic work per unit volume. The shape of the reinforcement is assumed to be a perfect sphere. And the type of the reinforcement distribution is assumed as FCC array. The thermal residual stress in MMCs is induced by the heat treatment. It is included at the simulation as an initial residual stress. The element birth and death method of the ANSYS program is used for the estimation of the interface bonding strength, void generation and propagation. It is assumed that the fracture in the matrix region begin to occur under the external loading when the plastic work per unit volume is equal to the critical value. The fracture strain will be defined. The experimental data of the extruded $SiC_p$>/606l Al composites are compared with the theoretical results.

The real-time computer consists of six TIC-40 processors connected in parallel. The seeker emulator is designed by using analog circuits coupled with mechanical equipments. The system unit provides interface function to match impedance between the components and processes very small electrical signals. Also real launch unit of missiles is interfaced to simulator through system unit. In order to apply the real-time parallel processing simulator to performance analysis equipment of rolling missiles it is essential to perform the performance verification test of simulator.

Microstructure plays an important role in controlling the fracture behaviour of carbon-carbon composites and hence their mechanical properties. In the present study effort was made to understand how the different interfaces (fiber/matrix interactions) influence the development of microstructure of the matrix as well as that of carbon fibers as the heat treatment temperature of the carbon-carbon composites is raised. Three different grades of PAN based carbon fibres were selected to offer different surface characteristics. It is observed that in case of high-strength carbon fiber based carbon-carbon composites, not only the matrix microstructure is different but the texture of carbon fiber changes from isotropic to anisotropic after HTT to $2600^{\circ}C$. However, in case of intermediate and high modulus carbon fiber based carbon-carbon composites, the carbon fiber texture remains nearly isotropic at $2600^{\circ}C$ because of relatively weak fiber-matrix interactions.

테이블 탑 디스플레이를 이용하여 만든 응용프로그램은 손을 사용함으로써 사용자에게 직관적인 인터페이스를 제공한다. 따라서 사용자는 테이블 탑 디스플레이에서 보여 지는 가상화면에서 실제 물체를 조정하는 듯한 현실감올 느낄 수 있다. 그러나 대부분의 테이블 탑 디스플레이 응용 증강현실 시스템은 시각적인 감각만을 충족시킨다는 제한사항을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 보다 현실감 있는 증강현실을 제공하기 위해 가상 객체에 충돌이 발생할 경우 객체 컨트롤 장치가 진통하게 함으로써 촉각 부분도 지원하는 다중 감각기반 인터페이스를 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 에어하키 응용 구현을 통해 시각 및 청각적인 증강현실과 연동하여 가상환경의 충돌 정보를 무선통신으로 전송함으로써 촉각적인 증강현실을 반영함을 보인다. 본 연구에서는 시각지원과 함께 촉각지원을 추가함으로써 증강현실의 현실감을 증대시키고, 손 이외의 다른 장치를 사용하여 테이블 탑 디스플레이의 사용 환경을 확장시켜 보다 실감나는 인터페이스 환경을 제공한다.
