Every products, which made by mass production, is not identical in their size but have variations in some intervals specified by tolerance dimensions. Tolerances play major role in standardization of part and its quality, and also make a huge impact on manufacturing cost. The optimal condition for tolerances is giving the values as loose as possible for low production cost while satisfying quality specification, which usually demand tight control of tolerances. Tolerance analysis is necessary to get an optimal solution for this conflict situation. This paper have studied tolerance analysis for universal joint assembly of vehicle steering system and tried to find useful results of the study for product design and quality control.

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon condition and involvement of the glenohumeral joint is rare comparing its involvement of knee and hip. We report a case of synovial chondromatosis with its radiography, MRI and microscopic findings and treatment by arthroscopic synovectomy & loose body removal which have been developed in right shoulder of a 46 year-old-female and presented as impingement syndrome.

We consider a reverse supply chain with a production facility and a recovery facility, and address the joint control of production and disposal decisions for sustainable operations. Demands are satisfied from on-hand inventory of serviceable products, replenished via manufacturing or remanufacturing. Sold products may be returned after usage and each returned product is disposed of or accepted for recovery. Accepted returned products are converted into serviceable products after remanufacturing process. Formulating the model as a Markov decision process, we characterized the structure of the optimal production and disposal policy as two monotone switching curves under a special condition. Three types of heuristic policies are presented and their performance is numerically compared.

Generally, the laser vision sensor makes it possible design a highly reliable and precise range sensor at a low cost. When the laser vision sensor is applied to lap joint welding, however, there are many limitations. Therefore, a specially-designed hardware system has to be used. However, if the multi-lines are used instead of a single line, multi-range data can be generated from one image. Even under a set condition of 30fps, the generated 2D range data increases depending on the number of lines used. In this study, a laser vision sensor with a multi-line pattern is

In this paper, authors are trying to find optimum spot weldig conditions to minimize indentation of the plate surface which is crucial to quality of stainless rolling stocks. At first, to derive a simple equation to estimate the depth of indentation, a simplified one-dimensional bar model is proposed and validity of the model is confirmed by experiments. And also, to find proper welding conditions giving satisfied tensile strength of the welded joint, a simple formula is derived referring to the standard spot welding conditions by AWS. Optimization problem is formulated to find welding conditions such as welding current, time and applied force which give minimum indentation and proper tensile strength of joint, and solutions are found out. According to the results, the depth of indentation can be expressed by applied electrode froces and it can be shown that an optimum applied force exists.

Lightweight design, safety, vibration, energy absorption capability can no longer achieve without adhesive bond joint. Base on those concepts and cost reduction, adhesive bond FEM model development has been done. The FEM analysis and experiments were conducted in this study. Crash condition is 143 Kg Hammer weight and unit meter Height. and then These test results were used to develop resonable FEM model. To estimate which FEM model is resonable, compare hybrid joint specimen experiment results with FEM analysis results. Conclusively this study achieves optimization bonding model related crash and adhesive bond jointed hat profile crash characters.

This paper is concerned with computer simulations of a biped robot walking in dynamic gaits. To this end, a three-dimensional robot is considered possessing a torso and two identical legs of a kinematically ingenious design. Specific walking patterns are off-line generated meeting stability based on the ZMP condition. Subsequently, to verify whether the robot can walk as planned, a multi-body dynamics CAE code has been applied to the corresponding joint motions determined by inverse kinematics. In this manner, complex mass effects could be accurately evaluated for the robot model. As a result, key parameters to successful gaits are identified including inherent characteristics as well. Also, joint actuator capacities are found required to carry out those gaits.

Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation is one of the challenges in radio positioning. Distinguishing the transmission status of the communication as line-of-sight (LOS) or NLOS is of great importance for the wireless communication systems. This paper focuses on the identification of NLOS based on time-of-arrival (TOA) distance estimates and the received signal strength (RSS) measurements. We set a path loss threshold based on the joint TOA and RSS based NLOS detection method to determine LOS or NLOS. Simulation results show that the proposed method ensures the correct of detection for the LOS condition and can improve the NLOS identification for the weak noise and long distance.

Naviculocuneiform coalition is one of uncommon tarsal coalitions and especially symptomatic cases which need operative treatment are rare. Authors report 2 cases of pediatric naviculocuneiform patients who showed symptomatic condition as mainly pain. Plain radiographs, computed tomography or magnetic resolution imaging study showed bony bridge in naviculo-medial cuneiform joint. After over six months conservative treatment, excision of coalition and interposition $Tisseel^{(R)}$ was performed for motion preservation and relief of pain.

In this paper, we focus on a configuration control method of a redundant manipulator. The configuration of a redundant manipulator has been determined by geometry constraints and additional conditions, such as obstacle avoidance and dexterity optimization. This paper also utilizes optimization, and the additional condition (or performance index) to be optimized is stiffness of the end-effector and joints' torque. Stiffness and torque may be a natural attribute to be controlled during working and those vary as manipulator configuration does. So the optimal configuration from the viewpoint of stiffness and joint torque is studied. If the servo control mechanism of the joints Is assumed to be a...
