The estimation of muscle force is important to understand the roles of the muscles. The static optimization method can be used to figure out the individual muscle forces. However, muscle forces during the movement including muscle co-contraction cannot be considered by the static optimization. In this study, a hybrid static optimization method was introduced to find the well-matched muscle forces with EMG signals under muscle co-contraction conditions. To validate the developed algorithm, the 3D motion analysis and its corresponding inverse dynamics using the musculoskeletal modeling software (SIMM) were performed on heel-rise movements. Results showed that the developed algorithm could estimate the acceptable muscle forces during heel-rise movement. These results imply that a hybrid numerical approach is very useful to obtain the reasonable muscle forces under muscle co-contraction conditions.

In the present study, a new wood boiler was developed through the performance test. The efficiency of the boiler was obtained up to about 63.7%, which is 67% higher than that of conventional wood boiler, about 38.2%. The structure of the new boiler is more complicated than the conventional boiler. The passage of combustion gas is sufficiently long to exchange heat well with heating water. Therefore, the obtained efficiency is so high, and the temperature of exhaust gas was lower than 200$^{\circ}C$, which is as low as that of light oil boiler. The composition of exhaust gas was measured, and the CO gas concentration was obtained more than 3000 ppm. So, it seems that more study is needed to lower the concentration of CO gas.

Multi-Spinner 장비는 반도체 제조공정과정 중 Photo공정에서 노광(Exposure)공정을 제외한 PR 형성공정 및 현상(Development)을 수행하는 복합적인 장비이다. 이 복합적인 Multi-Spinner 장비의 각 수행 과정에서는 웨이퍼를 이동 작업하는데 있어서 이동경로를 최적 스케줄링 한다면 반도체 생산량 향상에 크게 도움이 된다. Multi-Spinner 장비내의 각 공정과정들은 PR 형성공정 및 현상 공정 순서에 맞게 순차적으로 진행되며, 이 과정들을 위해 이송 로봇이 순차적으로 웨이퍼를 이동하며, 이 과정에서 일정의 대기시간이 발생하게 된다. 대기시간을 줄이기 위해 C/S 유닛에 담겨 있는 수십 장의 웨이퍼들을 다음 공정으로 이송 시 이동경로의 최적 스케줄링이 필요하다. 본 논문은 스케줄링 문제를 풀기 위해 인공 신경회로망(Artificial Neural Network)을 이용한 최적 스케줄링 방법을 제안한다.

In this study, we developed a robotic gait trainer which induces the active gait training based on predefined continuous proper lower extremity joint movements. AC servo motors and linear actuators were used to control hip and knee joints of patients and the weight support system was used to support the patient's weight during the gait training. We also implemented a Gill program to set the gait training pattern with several training parameters and to confirm states of patients and the system through the visual feedback. The effectiveness of the gait training system will be determined by the long-term clinical experiments in the future. We expect that the developed robotic gait training system could be applied very practically to recover gait abilities for persons with gait disorder.

Nine accessions of red rices collected from different regions were tested for germination characteristics in relation to seed maturity and several storage conditions after harvest. No red rice seeds germinated at five days after anthesis (DAA). Wanjuaengmi (long-grain red rice) seeds at 10DAA germinated up to 30% of total samples, producing only abnormal seedlings, whereas 10D-AA-seeds of normal cultivar showed only 3.3% germinability. Some red rice seeds absorbed more water than cultivated varieties, and showed less decrease in germination rate than cultivated varieties when seeds were exposed at -1, -5 or -1$0^{\circ}C$ for up to 60 hours after soaking. Red rice accessions maintained more than 95% germination when stored. indoor for 120 days. Two short-grain red rices showed about 50% germination when overwintered in the field, while other long-grain red rices and cultivated rices germinated less than 10%. Germination of seeds overwintered in clay loam soil was lower than that in loam soil, and seeds on surface germinated less than those in 1~7cm depth.

Twenty two polyphenols containing ten gallotannins, seven ellagitannins, two phenylpropanoids and three stilbenes isolated from the higher plants were tested inhibitory effects on melanogenesis in cultured B-16 mouse melanoma cell lines. Among the tested samples, 1-desgalloyleugeniin exhibited the most potent inhibitory effect on melanogenesis in cultured cell lines.

According to increase in the use of the LED, the demand for low power consumption LED display design of the controller block has increased. In this paper, the low power LED controller block was designed through the power source supply that leads adiabatic operation from constant current source circuit operated by digital signal control. The proposed circuit was implemented using a 0.35um CMOS process. and it demonstrated linear operation of the circuit. From the simulation result, the proposed circuit was evaluated with about 82% power consumption reduction effect in comparison with conventional LED controller block. This research is expected to be helpful for the low power operation and the solution for heat problem of LED display.

Emission characteristics of gaseous odor compounds emitted from the charcoal manufacturing process were investigated, and evaluated the odor removal efficiency of odor control devices. It was found that the measured odor dilution ratio of emission gases ranged from 10,000 to 44,814, which exceed largely the emission standard in the stack. Methylmercaptan, trimethylamine, hydrogen sulfide, acetaldehyde were turned out as major odor compounds of the charcoal manufacturing process. It was revealed that the odor removal ratio of odor control devices were very low due to the its improper maintenance and wrong design.
