Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical results after Steindler flexoplasty. Materials and Methods: We analyzed 6 cases who had nearly normal finger and wrist joint flexion function, but could not flex elbow joint actively because of upper arm type brachial plexus injury. We performed operation during the period from February 1997 to July 2003. There were 5 males and 1 female with mean age of 28 years (range: $19{\sim}51$ years) when Steindler flexoplasty was done. The average follow-up period was 3 years 11 months (range: 12 months${\sim}$7 years 4 months). We assessed active range of motion of elbow joint, muscle power and elbow function by Mayer & Green grade scale at last follow-up. We assessed how much they were favorable for Steindler flexoplasty and had improvement of upper extremity function and correction of deformity. Results: Postoperative, flexion range of elbow joint improved to average $111.7^{\circ}$ (range: $90{\sim}130^{\circ}$). $25.8^{\circ}$ (range: $15{\sim}45^{\circ}$) in flexion contracture and $16.6^{\circ}$ (range: $10{\sim}35^{\circ}$) in pronation contracture were remained. Range of motion of elbow joint improved to average $85.3^{\circ}$ (range: $45{\sim}105^{\circ}$). Flexion power of elbow joint improved to Grade 5 in all cases. Postoperatively on Mayer & Green grade scale, there were excellent in 3 cases(50%), good in 2 cases(33.3%), fair in 1 case(16.7%). On patient's own assessment of functional improvement, there were excellent in 4 cases(66.6%), good in 1 case(16.7%) and fair in 1 case(l6.7%). Conclusion: Steindler flexoplasty can reserve good clinical results with being improved to active flexion of elbow joint in cases who have functional hand and wrist, but paralysis upper arm muscle in brachial plexus injury.

This paper describes the influence on partial discharge characteristics of defects at the model XLPE/EPDM interfaces of power cable joints. The defects of void and copper which could inadvertently be present at the joint interface. We measured ${\Phi}-n,\;{\Phi}-q$ patterns by a computer-aided partial discharge measuring system. Several parameters i, e, maximum discharge $q_{max}$ [pC], average discharge q [pC/cycle], and average angle of discharge ${\Theta}g$ [deg] were found to depend upon the defect type varying applied voltage. As the result of time evaluation, partial discharges are small different at copper defects, but is decreasing obviously about 20 minutes at void defect. It considered that difference of magnitude of total positive discharge of Q+ [pC] and total negative discharge of Q- [pC] is SPMD(swarming pulsive micro discharges).

Purpose : To assess the clinical results of second toe-to-finger transfer in traumatic amputated index finger. Materials and Methods : For the clinical evaluation, we have analyzed 12 patients with ROM of finger joints, pinch power, static two point discrimination, life functional assessment, and patient's satisfaction. Results : In genral ROM was $54.4^{\circ}$ at MP joint, $17^{\circ}$ at PIP joint and $6.7^{\circ}$ at DIP joint. Pinch power was good in 3 cases, fair in 7 cases, and poor in 2 cases. Daily life activity and patient's acceptance were satisfactory. Conclusion : Although transfered toe function may be poorer than normal finger, the hand was restored to a useful, sensate and versatile functional unit.

To detect partial discharge of 154kV joint box, we have made experiment by using the HFCT sensor. Generally the signals which are detected in partial discharge test of underground power transmission cable are accompanied with both noises of high voltage and noises of surrounding Power cable. The most noise in near to end part of joint box is corona, beside other noises flowed from surrounding area. Partial discharge test is difficulty due to these noises. First, we test reliability on both injection of calibration signal in NJB and removal of low frequency. After that, we had analyzed frequencies by measuring signals in IJB with 300[m] distance from NJB. Also we had measured S/N ratio by using the indirected injection method of calibration signal in IJB. In this experiment, two measurement methods were difference of detection acquisition, but these had the equal frequency properties.

Solid state diffusion bonding is the joining process performed by creep and diffusion, which is accelerated by heating below melting temperature and proper pressing, in vacuum or shielding gas atmosphere. By this process we can obtain sufficient joint which can't be expected from the fusion welding. For Ti-6Al-4V alloy, the optimum solid state diffusion bonding condition and mechanical properties of the joint were found, and micro void morphology at bond interface was observed by SEM. The results of tensile test showed sufficient joint, whose mechanical properties are similar to that of base metal. 850$^{\circ}$C, 3MPa is considered as the optimum bonding condition. Void morphology at interface is long and flat at the initial stage. As the percentage of bonded area increases, however, small and round voids are found. Variation of void shape can be explained as follows. As for the void shrinkage mechanism, at the initial stage, power law creep is the dominant, but diffusion mechanism is dominant when the percentage of bonded area is increased.

Advanced nuclear power plants are generally large complex systems automated by computers. Whenever a rare plant emergency occurs the plant operators must cope with the emergency under severe mental stress without committing any fatal errors. Furthermore, The operators must train to improve and maintain their ability to cope with every conceivable situation, though it is almost impossible to be fully prepared for an infinite variety of situations. In view of the limited capability of operators in emergency situations, there has been a new approach to preventing the human error caused by improper human-machine interaction. The new approach has been triggered by the introduction of advanced information systems that help operators recognize and counteract plant emergencies. In this paper, the adverse effect of automation in human-machine systems is explained. The discussion then focuses on how to configure a joint human-machine system for ideal human-machine interaction. Finally, there is a new proposal on how to organize technologies that recognize the different states of such a joint human-machine system.

The performance of cable joints for extra high voltage XLPE cable system is rapidly advancing combined with the development of insulation materials. The current trend of joints is in the direction of requiring less jointing techniques and installation time. This paper describes the performance of currently used joints regarding to their practical aspects and analyses design and manufacturing techniques for Pre-Mold Joint and Pre-fabricated Joint Box. Especially, basic tests and their results to obtain the design Parameter of PMJ are introduced.

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.
