Tibial eminence fracture is caused by distortion, excessive flexion and extension, varus and valgus injury of the knee joint in the form of avulsion fracture. A failure over the exact anatomical reduction of fragment can lead to instability and limitation of joint motion. Recently, a variety of arthroscopic assisted reduction and fixation technique have been used. In the tibial eminence fracture, we created an arthroscopic pull-out wire fixation technique using a cannulated screw that is easy and more convenient than in the conventional technique. So we report this technique with a review of current literatures.

Postoperative temporal hollowing is a common complication of craniotomy. Damage and repositioning of the temporalis muscle can lead to a depression in the temporal side of the skull with inferior bulging, worsening aesthetic outcomes. We report a case of cranioplasty with three-dimensional (3D) printed mesh involving an additional correction using a temporalis muscle sling to help address this problem. A 3D-printed bioabsorbable mesh was prepared based on preoperative facial computed tomography, and was fixed to the hollowed area for tissue augmentation. The temporalis muscle was elevated and fanned out to its original position, and a sling was attached to a screw that was fixed to the mesh. For reinforcement, an additional sling was attached to another screw fixed to the mesh 2-3 cm vertically above the first screw. Aesthetic results were confirmed immediately after surgery and later during outpatient follow-up. Both depression and lateral bulging were resolved, and there was no delayed drooping of the temporalis muscle on 6-month follow-up. There were no complications, and the patient was satisfied with the appearance. This is a simple yet effective technique with a low risk of complications, and should be considered for postoperative temporal hollowing patients, especially those with severe lateral bulging.

This paper presents the thermal behavior of a synchronous linear motor with high speed and force. Such a linear motor can successfully replace ball lead screw in machine tools because it has a high velocity, acceleration and good positioning accuracy. On the other hand, low efficiency and high heating up during operation are disadvantage of linear motors. For the application of linear motors to machine tools a water-cooling system is often used. In this research, structure of the linear motor and water cooler is changed to improve the thermal behavior of the linear motor. Some important effects of an integrated cooler, an U-cooler and a thermally symmetrical cooler are presented.

With conventional positioning apparatus, it is very difficult to simultaneously achieve the desired driving range and precision at the sub-micrometer level. Generally, lead screw and friction drive, etc., have been used as servo control systems. These have large driving ranges, and high-speed positioning is feasible. In this study, we present a global servo system controlled by a laser interferometer acting as a displacement measurement sensor for achieving positioning accuracy at the sub-micrometer level.

The study was carried out development a pricision positioning apparatus, consisting of DG servo motor and piezoelectric actuatior. This system is composed of fine and coarse apparatus, measurement system and control system. Peezoelectric actuator is designed for fine positioning. Coarse positioning using lead screw is droved by DC servo motor. Control system output a signal from laser interfermeter and capacitive sensor to amplifer of DC servo motor and piezoelectric actuator after digital signal processing (DSP). Resolution of this apparatus measure with laser interferometer and microsense

Linear motors can drive a linear motion without intermediate gears, screws or crank shafts. Linear motors can successfully replace ball lead screw in machine tools, because they have a high velocity, acceleration and good positioning accuracy. On the other hand, linear motors emit large amounts of heat and have low efficiency. In this paper, heat sources of a synchronous linear motor with high velocity and force are measured and analyzed. To improve the thermal stiffness of the linear motor, an insulation layer with low thermal conductivity is inserted between cooler and machine table. Some effects of the insulation layer are presented.

The lower toughness or brittle materials for mechanical test lead to the additional requirement that applied displacements be controlled with high resolution. Biaxial tension and shear tester using stepper motor with harmonic driver is shown. The device had to be high resolution so that the crack initiation process of slow extension and steady growth could be examined, Grip plates were connected to a linear bearing and actuator. The actuators consisted of stepper motors with harmonic driver connected to pre-loaded ball screw and nut assemblies. The encoders and motor controllers were connected to a personal computer so that arbitrary displacements histories could he prescribed in normal and tangential directions. The linear bearings were used to react loads perpendicular to their axes while allowing low friction, parallel movement of the attached grips. Load cells measured the reactions normal and tangential. the loads measured the reactions were recorded by the computer.

The OMM(On-Machine-Measurement) system has many advantages compare to conventional measurement in the way the time and cost. But, the sensor suitable to OMM system is restrictive use. Touch trigger probe sensor has long time for measurement and non-contact sensor has directional demerit. Because the long mechanical parts such as gear and lead screw for pump, injector and machine tools has big and heavy, unclamp and transferring for measurement in machining process is very difficult. This paper presents a development of ultra miniature eddy current displacement sensor with 3 axes for On-Machine-Measurement system. The accuracy of the sensor is experimentally proved in the grinding machine. In experimental results, the accuracy has under ${\pm}5\;{\mu}m$.

연삭 가공은 인류가 생존을 위한 도구를 만들 때 사용한 2,000년 이상의 가장 긴 역사를 가지는 가공법이며 다른 기계에서 가공된 것을 마지막으로 마무리(Finishing)작업을 하는 가공이다. 연삭 공작기계 발달은 숫돌(Grinding wheel) 기술 발달과 연삭가공 기술 발달과 더불어 진행되어 왔다. 기록에 의하면 1846년 미국에서 선반에 숫돌을 붙인 장치가 등장했으며 이것이 세계 최초의 연삭반이라고 볼 수 있다. 미국 Brown & Sharp사는 1876년 만능 연삭기를 제작했고 미국 Norton사가 평면 연삭기(Surface Grinding Machine)를 제작하였다. 숫돌(Grinding wheel)의 원료인 Carborundum의 제조 방법을 1891년에 Norton사에서 발명하였으며 원통 연삭반은 그 회사가 1901년에 제작하였다. 1924년 Swiss에서 Lead screw 연삭기를 제작하였으며 1930년에 독일 Berlin 대학의 Schesinger 교수가 연삭이론의 기초가 되는 연삭력에 대한 이론을 발표하였다.
