The purpose of this study was to investigate impact of wearing low-level current wrist guards on pain scale, range of motion (ROM), and muscle strength in elderly women with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). Subjects were 12 elderly women aged between 65 and 85 years who were diagnosed with CTS symptoms. Measurements included grip strength and wrist ROM. Wrist ROM was assessed through flexion and dorsiflexion. Wrist guards were worn. After two weeks, pain level was assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results showed a significant reduction in VAS score in the MES group after stimulation, whereas there was no difference in the control group. However, there was no significant difference in ROM between the MES group and the control group. Grip strength increased in the MES group after two weeks (p ≤ 0.001). In conclusion, clinical trials suggest that MES wrist guards might be provided as an adjunctive treatment method for CTS patients. This study provides foundational data for the design and use of auxiliary devices such as gloves in the field of MES research for pain reduction, ROM improvement, and muscle strength enhancement resulting from CTS.

This paper presents an alternative technique for DOA (direction-of-arrival) estimation. For generating a weight vector orthogonal to the signal subspace, a modified version of MES (minimum eigenvalue searching ) method is introduced. The performance of the proposed technique is compared to that of the conventional ED (eigen decomposition) method in terms of angle resolution for a number of snapshots during agiven observation period as well as various SNR's. In addition, the superiority of the suggested technique is shown, by analyzing the required computational load of the proposed MES and conventional ED method. A novel procedure of simplifying the MES proposed in [1] is presented on that purpose. Another advnatage of the proposed technique is that it is performed independently of the detection of the number of signal components, which makes it possible to estimate the DOA's of clusters consisting of infinite number of inseparable signal components.

It is a fundamental requirement for the medium-sized manufacturing company with multiple-types of products and mixed process flows to have a real time feedback system for systematic production scheduling and process control to maximize the productivity and delivery achievement. However it is very inferior in actual condition to make infrastructure for a systematic production scheduling and process control in middle-sized manufacturing company, Proposed in this paper is an MES implementation approach for the successful construction of MES infrastructure, implementation and operation in medium-sized manufacturing companies with multiple-types of products and mixed process flows.

Point of Production/Manufacturing Execution Systems are an essential component of operations in today's competitive business environments, which require greater production efficiency and effectiveness. POP/MES focuses on the valuing-adding processes, helping to reduce manufacturing cycle time, improve product quality, reduce WIP, reduce or eliminate paperwork between shifts, reduce lead time and empowering plant operations staff. In this paper, we implement POP/MES to manage real-time plant floor data which is gathered by I/O server into database management system. I/O server is a software allows data exchange between factory real-time database and several hardware devices such as PLC, DCS, robot and sensor through ethernet TCP/IP protocol.

The target of this paper is the manufacturing system of mould plant and the object of system development is the reduction of lead times and the improvement of product quality. From the existing MES framework. we found the module to apply in the mould plant, designed and developed the function of the module. Also. as the environment of development is based on internet, we can check and analysis correctly the status of mould plant from remote site.

The purpose of this study was to verify working hypotheses of effective management proposed by Sharpe and Winter(1991). For this purpose Managerial Effectiveness Scale(MES) developed and investigated relation with family life satisfaction. MES was divided into four conditions, performance-condition, timing, high level, and middle range and was included twenty-five managerial elements. Conditions of MES were highly correlated one another. It was assumed that four conditions related to promote synergistic effectiveness of managerial actions. Also, MES was positively related with family life satisfaction. It was suggested that effective management actions should improve should improve satisfaction of family life in general, and so family needs and goals should actualize through effective managerial-processes.
