This study was intended to compare the comfort of wearing each type of commercially available bralette. The trial wearing experiment was conducted on five women in their 20s who wear an average Korean bra size of 70A. The experimental bralettes were of four types: a bralette with both hooks and pads and a bralette without both, a bralette with hooks but no pads, and a bralette with pads but no hooks. The wearing test results are as follows. First, in terms of functional satisfaction, the padded bralette provided the greatest satisfaction in supporting the chest from the bottom up and bringing it to the center, and the bralette without the pad provided the least satisfaction. In addition, the level of convenience of attaching/detaching was about twice as high in the bralette with hooks than those without hooks. Chest compression was found to be greater in bralettes without hooks than in those with hooks. In terms of the pressure on the shoulder strap and on the lower chest band, it was found that bralettes with hooks had a greater sense of pressure than those without. In the appearance characteristics test, the unpadded bralettes scored higher than the padded one in the matter of feeling embarrassed, because in unpadded bralettes, the nipples were exposed underneath the clothes . This study is meaningful in classifying the design of the bralette and evaluating the fit for each design in the absence of prior research on the bralette.

An artificial sphincter implanted in the bulbous urethra to treat severe postprostatectomy urinary incontinence is effective, but embedding-associated complications can occur. We assessed the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of urethral graciloplasty cross-innervated by the pudendal nerve. A simulation surgery on three male fresh cadavers was performed. Both ends of the gracilis muscle were isolated only on its vascular pedicle with proximal end of the obturator nerve severed and transferred to the perineum. We examined whether the gracilis muscle could be wrapped around the bulbous urethra and whether the obturator nerve was long enough to suture with the pudendal nerve. In addition, surgery was performed on a 71-year-old male patient with severe urinary incontinence. The postoperative 12-month outcomes were assessed using a 24-hour pad test and urodynamic study. In all cadaveric simulations, the gracilis muscles could be wrapped around the bulbous urethra in a γ-loop configuration. The length of the obturator nerve was sufficient for neurorrhaphy with the pudendal nerve. In the clinical case, the postoperative course was uneventful. The mean maximum urethral closure pressure and functional profile length increased from 40.7 to 70 cm H₂O and from 40.1 to 45.3 mm, respectively. Although urinary incontinence was not completely cured, the patient was able to maintain urinary continence at night. Urethral graciloplasty cross-innervated by the pudendal nerve is effective in raising the urethral pressure and reducing urinary incontinence.

Nowadays, noise and vibration phenomena of a disc brake system have been given various names that provide some definitions of sound and vibration emitted such as grind, grunt, moan, squeak, squeal, judder and wire brush. The most common and annoying noise of a disc brake system is squeal noise. It is defined as noise whose frequency content is 1 kHz and higher with excessively high and irrigating sound pressure levels. In this paper, the noise and vibration characteristics of a disc brake system have been investigated to develop the fusion-type friction material, which overcomes the low steel and non-asbestos organic friction materials. For the purpose, both experimental evaluation and complex eigenvalue analysis have been carried out.

Stencil is used normally as a mask for seeder pasting on pad of PCB. The objective of this study is to develop stencil cutting system and determine optimal conditions which make good-quality stencil by using a Nd:YAG laser. The effects of process parameters such as laser power, type of mask, gas pressure, cutting speed and pulse width old the cut edge quality were investigated. In order to analyse fille cut surface characteristics(roughness, kerf width, dross) optical microscopy, SEM photography and roughness test were used. As a result, the optimal conditions of process parameters were determined, and the practical feasibility of the proposed system is also examined by using a commercial Gerber file for PCB stencil manufacturing.

The effect of mechanical parameters on chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of blanket and patterned aluminum thin films are investigated. CMP process experiments are conducted using the soft pad and the slurry mainly composed of acid solution and A1$_2$O$_3$ abrasive. The result for the blanket film showed that as the concentration of abrasive in slurry is increased, the surface roughness gets worse but the waviness gets better. The planarity of the patterned Al films is slowly improved by CMP when the width of and gap between the patterns are relatively small. It is tried to find the optimized CMP process conditions by that the patterned Al thin film can be planarized with fine surface. The most satisfiable film surface is obtained when the applied pressure is low (10kPa) and the abrasive concentration is relatively high (5wt%).

Fe nano powders were synthesized by plasma arc discharge (PAD) process and studied by means of X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). Pure Fe rod($99.9\%$) was used as a source of metallic vapor under argon and hydrogen mixed atmosphere. The synthesized Fe nano powders had nearly spherical shapes and core-shell type structures. The influence of process parameters on the structure and size was investigated. The powder size increased with increasing of the chamber pressure and input current. High hydrogen gas ratio in chamber atmosphere affected the particle size and amount of Fe nanopowder.

This paper describes an improved model that can be used for configuring a non-contact pneumatic head to handle a large sheet of glass. The cylindrical head model is of a large size (70 mm). It operates on vortex flow, which can simultaneously generate suction and repulsion over the flat object's surface. The head allows for the minimal non-contact lifting of objects weighing over 3N by using reference conditions (working pressure and head dimensions). Additionally, a functional flow-guide is applied for inducing a developing tangential vortex flow to increase suction and repulsion to the reference head. The cylindrical flow-guide is associated with relatively low tangential velocity. The improved model generates greater lifting force than the reference model, as verified experimentally.

A four-degree of freedom model is suggested to understand the basic dynamical behaviors of the normal interaction between two masses of the friction induced normal vibration system. The two masses may be considered as the pad and the disk of the brake. The phase space analysis is performed to understand complicated in-plane dynamics of the non-linear model. Attractors in the phase space are examined for various conditions of the parameters. In certain conditions, the attractor becomes a limit cycle showing the stick-slip phenomena. In this paper, on the basis of the in-plane motion not only the existence of the limit cycle but also the size of the limit cycle is examined o demonstrate the non-linear dynamics that leads the unstable state and then the normal vibration is investigated as the state of the in-plane motion For only one case of the system frequency(two masses with same natural frequencies), the propensity of the normal vibration is discussed in detail. The results show an important fact that it may be not effective when too much damping is present in the only one part of the masses.

A cellular power amplifier using an APCVD(Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition)-grown SiGe base HBT of ETRI has been designed with a linear simulation CAD. The Si/SiGe HBT with an emitter area of 2$\times$8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$^2$typically has a cutoff frequency(f$_{T}$) of 7.0 GHz and a maximum oscillation frequency(f$_{max}$) of 16.1 GHz with a pad de-embedding A packaged power Si/SiGe HBT with an emitter area of 2$\times$8$\times$80${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$^2$typically shows a f$_{T}$ of 4.7 GHz and a f$_{max}$ of 7.1 GHz at a collector current (Ic) of 115 mA. The power amplifier exhibits a Forward transmission coefficient(S21) of 13.5 dB, an input and an output reflection coefficients of -42 dB and -45 dB respectively. Up to now the III-V compound semiconductor devices hale dominated microwave applications, however a rapid progress in Si-based technology make the advent of the Si/SiGe HBT which is promising in low to even higher microwave range because of lower cost and relatively higher reproducibility of a Si-based process.ess.ess.
