Small sized companies have not been successful in systematically applying statistical process control because of insufficient human resources. In this paper we present a case study of automatic checking system for a small sized company which produces various types of gears. A systematic way of automatically measuring gears is proposed and statistical analysis methods are presented. To reduce variation in the measurement data, a standard operating procedure is also proposed. This case study can be helpful to quality assurance practitioners of small sized companies who are willing to develop checking or inspection systems for their products.

In this paper, a precise sensitivity measurement system of ultrasonic transducer in the frequency range from 1 MHz to 15 MHz, which can implement the reciprocity principle is constructed. All of the elements of this system such as the ultrasonic preamplifier, ultrasonic absorber, water tank, water degassing system, and four-axes translator and reflector are constructed. For the performance evaluation of the calibration system, a standard hydrophone precisely calibrated from PTB(Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt) in Germany are used. And the system parameters which affected the evaluation of the measurement accuracy and the reproducibility in various measuring conditions are considered. The measurement uncertainty of the calibration system is estimated within $\pm$ 2.0㏈.

Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) and thermocouple sensors are broadly used to measure temperatures in the engineering and research fields. The contents of this standard calibration procedure (SCP) describe procedures related to the calculation of an electrical temperature calibrator and show different ways to indicate the calibration results, such as measurement uncertainty. As an SCP for the electrical temperature calibrator has not been developed yet, we studied the SCP and found a solution to this problem. In this paper, we present a mathematical model of the data and measurement variations with the calibration data results.

Purpose Radioimmunoassay implement quality control by systematizing the internal quality control system for quality assurance of test results. This study aims to contribute to the quality assurance of radioimmunoassay results and to implement systematic quality control by measuring the average CV of internal quality control and external quality control by plenty of institutions for reference when setting the laboratory's own acceptable range. Materials and Methods We measured the average CV of internal quality control and the bounce rate of more than 10.0% for a total of 42 items from October 2020 to December 2021. According to the CV result, we classified and compared the upper group (5.0% or less), the middle group (5.0~10.0%) and the lower group (10.0% or more). The bounce rate of 10.0% or more was compared by classifying the item of five or more institutions into tumor markers, thyroid hormones and other hormones. The average CV was measured by the overall average and standard deviation of the external quality control results for 28 items from the first quarter to the fourth quarter of 2021. In addition, the average CV was measured by the overall average and standard deviation of the proficiency results between institutions for 13 items in the first half and the second half of 2021. The average CV of internal quality control and external quality control was compared by item so we compared and analyzed the items that implement well to quality control and the items that require attention to quality control. Results As a result of measuring the precision average of internal quality control for 42 items of six institutions, the top group (5.0% or less) are Ferritin, HGH, SHBG, and 25-OH-VitD, while the bottom group (≤10.0%) are cortisol, ATA, AMA, renin, and estradiol. When comparing more than 10.0% bounce rate of CV for tumor markers, CA-125 (6.7%), CA-19-9 (9.8%) implemented well, while SCC-Ag (24.3%), CA-15-3 (26.7%) were among the items that require attention to control. As a result of comparing the bounce rate of more than 10.0% of CV for thyroid hormones examination, free T4 (2.1%), T3 (9.3%) showed excellent performance and AMA (39.6%), ATA (51.6%) required attention to control. When comparing the bounce rate of 10.0% or more of CV for other hormones, IGF-1 (8.8%), FSH (9.1%), prolactin (9.2%) showed excellent performance, however estradiol (37.3%), testosterone (37.7%), cortisol (44.4%) required attention to control. As a result of measuring the average CV of the whole institutions participating at external quality control for 28 items, HGH and SCC-Ag were included in the top group (≤10.0%), however ATA, estradiol, TSI, and thyroglobulin included in bottom group (≥30.0%). Conclusion As a result of evaluating 42 items of six institutions, the average CV was 3.7~12.2% showing a 3.3 times difference between the upper group and the lower group. Cortisol, ATA, AMA, Renin and estradiol tests with high CV will require continuous improvement activities to improve precision. In addition, we measured and compared the overall average CV of the internal quality control, the external quality control and the proficiency between institutions participating of six institutions for 41 items excluding HBs-Ab. As a result, ATA, AMA, Renin and estradiol belong to the same subgroup so we require attention to control and consider setting a higher acceptable range. It is recommended to set and control the acceptable range standard of internal quality control CV in consideration of many things in the laboratory due to the different reagents and instruments, and the results vary depending on the test's proficiency and quality control materials. It is thought that the accuracy and reliability of radioimmunoassay results can be improved if systematic quality control is implemented based on the set acceptable range.

In order to measure the allergen penetration of micropore fabrics, it is necessary to develop a convenient and appropriate experimental method for measuring a pore size of micropore fabrics. In this study, a simple and economical experimental apparatus was developed for the analysis of the pore size of micropore fabrics by measuring the weight reduction rate. In addition, the allergen blocking properties was evaluated by measuring the pore sizes of various fabrics. According to this study, the size of the pores of the microporous fabric could be obtained by measuring the weight reduction rates. In addition, higher weight reduction rate was obtained as the suction pressure passing through the particle permeation device decreased and the suction time was increased. It is expected that the developed experimental method and apparatus can be utilized as an experimental standard for quality control methods to verify the effectiveness of micropore fabrics used for house dust mite blocking bedding.

In this paper the networked control systems (NCS) problem is discussed where plants and controllers are distributed and interconnected by a common network. NCS is designed with LQ regulator and applied to an inverted pendulum accounting for the multiple time delays. We are to deals with a networked control system with a single controller, multiple sensors and multiple actuators. Since these parts are distributed, they are interconnected by communication networks. An NCS with LQ regulator is designed and applied to an inverted pendulum as a benchmark plant to check its performance under time delays induced by the network. Network induced delays are composed of two parts. One is the delay from controller to plant, and another is from plant to controller. They are assumed to be constant in this paper, and the plant and controller are discretized. To apply the LQ regulator the NCS model is transformed to a standard model with delayed states as state variable. And real network induced delay is measuring in TCP/IP network assuming that two delays are constant.

Purpose: This study was done to identify nursing interventions clinically applicable to relieve displeasure and anxiety of patients having an operation in which loud noise was unavoidable. Methods: Participants were 34 patients scheduled to have a total knee replacement. They were assigned to either the control (17 patients) or experimental (17 patients) group. Data were collected from September to November 2010. The instruments used for the survey included noise-control earplugs, a noise level meter (TES-1358) and a structured scale measuring degree of noise perception, displeasure and anxiety. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, standard deviation, $x^2$-test, and t-test with the SPSS WIN 18.0 program. Results: Hypothesis 1: 'The displeasure levels of the experimental group of patients wearing earplugs will be lower than the control group patients without earplugs' was accepted (t=-20.769, p<.001). Hypothesis 2: 'The anxiety levels of the experimental group of patients wearing earplugs will be lower than the control group patients without earplugs' was accepted (t=-6.298, p<.001). Conclusion: Based on these findings, the wearing of earplugs for patients having a surgical operation with loud noises is recommended as an effective nursing intervention to relieve patient displeasure and anxiety during their surgical operations.
