In this paper, we perform a mechanism analysis and optimal design of the feeding system in a industrial sewing machine. Sewing machines are classified by the transfer mechanism as (1) transferred by feeddog only (2) transferred by feeddog and needle (3) transferred by feeddog, needle and pressure bar. The sewing machine classified as (2) is studied which is more efficient in transferring fabrics than the machine classified as (1). In analyzing the mechanism, we divide the feeding mechanism as feeddog mechanism and needle bar mechanism. The two mechanisms are conneted with each other kinematically because fabrics are transferred by two needles and a feeddog simultaneously and stitched by two needles which pass through the feeddog in every stitch cycle. We define good stitch as coincidence of stitch between the forward and reverse motion of feeding. We optimize the feeding mechanism for that purpose. It is illustrated that stitching performance of the optimized mechanism is compared to original feeding mechanism.

In this paper, four-bar linkage mechanism for the knee joint is developed which is used in prosthetics. But unlike the prosthetics, the feature of this mechanism is that the instantaneous center of rotation of the four-bar linkages can be moved behind the ground reaction force vector so that it can be passively supported without any external power. In addition, this mechanism is developed similar to the structure of the human knee joint for eliminating the sense of heterogeneity of the wearer. In order to design the mechanism with these two objectives, optimization design process is done using the PIAnO tool and detailed design is carried out through optimized variable values. The developed mechanism is attached to the robot which can assist the hip and ankle joints. In order to verify the operation of the developed knee mechanism, an insole type sensor was attached to the shoes to compare data values before and after wearing the robot. Result data showed that wearer wearing the exoskeleton robot with the knee mechanism was the same value regardless of whether the heavy tool is loaded or not.

Perpendicular guideway mechanism has a different behavior with horizontal guideway mechanism due to the slider weight. So, to decrease its weight effect, counter balances such as weight type and hydraulic cylinder type are used. But it can also make another motion behavior by weight rate of slider and counter balance, its connected position. Therefore, it is necessary to find design parameters and analyze their effect. This paper dealt with the optimal design of perpendicular guideway mechanism. For analysis, the theoretic model as same as real machine tool and sib plate to adjust the clearance was used. Rotational angle and displacement of slider, pressure distribution, friction distribution were calculated. Stick slip, intermittent motion of slider according to friction change was adapted to the perpendicular guideway mechanism.

In this paper, a double scotch yoke mechanism for moving simultaneously the fixed contact and moving contact of a gas circuit brake, is proposed and designed to improve the breaking characteristics of the circuit breaker. Firstly, the design parameters of the scotch yoke are kinematically determined from the desired design condition of the circuit breaker. Next, the stroke curve of the moving contact is designed by considering the design parameter and the specified opening characteristics of electric contacts. Based on the scotch yoke and stroke curve, the dynamics of the electric contacts is analyzed using ADAMS model of switch mechanism.

Cam mechanism is a machine part frequently used in machinery. Specially, conjugate cam mechanism is very suitable for the high speed working and the heavy power translation. Then a conjugate cam mechanism need high precision for the relations between cam profiles and follower rollers. So, its design and manufacturing are very difficult. Thus, this study is a branch of exclusive CAM systems for design and NC machining of conjugate earn mechanism based on a master plate earn profile in order to exchange an old plate cam mechanism to a new conjugate earn mechanism. For the design of the other cam profile by using a master cam profile, some calculation processes were used by vector summation methods, from master cam profile data to the center data of master follower, from the center data of master follower to the center data of the other follower considered in link mechanism, and offsetting in the center direction of base circle of the other cam from the center data of the other follower. Finally, a sample conjugate cam was selected and machined m order to prove the contents of this study.

Walking mechanism, there are many types. Prior to the modeling and design, we thought about a variety of mechanisms based on the Janssen mechanism to design a walking mechanism optimized for walking. The more the legs increases the stability of the structure, while the weight is heavy and if that advantage had the disadvantage, the legs are easier to walk in the utilization and structural aspects of the torque had fewer advantages. The disadvantage is that the instability mechanism, four-legged, but improve it and look forward to the idea of utilization and cost-effectiveness, its future utilization will be endless. To study this, we utilized a variety of software, such as m-sketch, Edison design program, we have seen the actual production through scientific experiments box.

In this paper, arm-type lifting mechanism which is attached under the frame of truck is analyzed. The three types of motions which are divided into rotation, pure lifting and automatic tilting motions are analyzed kinematically. These motions are visualized by computer graphics using Visual Basic. This program will be used for designer to demonstrate the arm-type lifting mechanism before making real machines. Also this program can change design parameter interactively.

Hybrid RMU is a kind of power circuit breaker and protects electric devices from over-current. In this paper we built a dynamic model of RMU driving mechanism using ADAMS and performed a optimal design of several design parameters. Finally we developed a prototype of RMU driving mechanism through results of analysis and confirmed it to satisfy design requisitions.

In the future, an increasing number of heterogeneous networks will be connected with each other. Each of them has its own interest. Existing systems lack good incentive mechanisms to attract more networks to participate in cooperations. In this paper, we design an auction-based incentive mechanism for routing protocols applied in heterogeneous networking which is computationally efficient, individually rational, profitable, and truthful. Through several simulations, we evaluate the performance and validate the properties of our mechanism.
