Since early model of powered toothbrush (Broxadent) was introduced in the 1960s, the design of powered toothbrush has changed significantly. Today powered toothbrushes can be categorized as mechanical and sonic. The main patterns of movements in the modern powered toothbrushes are oscillation, reciprocation, and rotational. Powered brushes especially helpful for people who have disabilities or dexterity issue. These brushes are also highly recommended for patients who require a larger handle because these are easier to grasp. By systematic review of Cochrane group in 2014, powered toothbrushes reduced dental plaque and gingivitis more than manual toothbrushing in the short and long term. Now we can recommend powered toothbrushes to people who need to enhance self-control dental plaque removal efficacy.

The objective of this paper is to develop a powered wheelchair controller based on EMG for users with high-level spinal cord injury using a proportional control scheme. An advantage of EMG is relative convenience of acquisition by a surface electrode to users. Direction information can be easily extracted from two EMG channels and force information can be acquired by proportional relationship between the amplitude of EMG and user's power, respectively. Pattern classification algorithm is a threshold method with a supervised learning process. Furthermore, the emergency situation can be avoided using an interrupt function. We evaluated the performance of powered wheelchair controller by navigating a pre-defined path with three non-handicapped people. The results show the feasibility of EMG as an input interface for powered wheelchair and other devices for the seriously disabled.

Flexible, wearable, and implantable electronic sensors have started to gain popularity in improving the quality of life of sick and healthy people, shifting the future paradigm with high sensitivity. However, conventional technologies with a limited lifespan occasionally limit their continued usage, resulting in a high cost. In addition, traditional battery technologies with a short lifespan frequently limit operation, resulting in a substantial challenge to their growth. Subsequently, utilizing human biomechanical energy is extensively preferred motion for biologically integrated, self-powered, functioning devices. Ideally suited for this purpose are piezoelectric energy harvesters. To convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, devices must be mechanically flexible and stretchable to implant or attach to the highly deformable tissues of the body. A systematic analysis of piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) for personalized healthcare is provided in this article. This article briefly overviews PENGs as self-powered sensor devices for energy harvesting, sensing, physiological motion, and healthcare.

최근 장애인의 이동권 보장에 대한 요구에 따라 전동보장구의 사용이 급증하고 있고, 이동권 확대 및 보조기기 사용편리를 위한 전동보장구의 충전 시설이 늘어나고 있다. 하지만 현재 국내에는 이들 충전 시설에 대한 기준이 없어 효율적인 설치 및 운영이 되지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 효율적인 전동보장구 충전소 설치 및 운영을 위해 이에 대한 국내외 규정 및 실태에 대한 조사연구를 실시하고, 장애인 당사자들을 대상으로 한 설문조사를 실시하여 실제 충전소 사용에 대한 문제점을 파악하고 사용자의 요구사항을 조사하였다. 이를 토대로 합리적이고 효율적인 국내 충전소 설치 및 운영방안을 마련하였다. 그 결과 현재의 충전소에 보급된 충전기로는 효과적인 충전 서비스를 제공하지 못하는 기기적인 문제점을 파악하여 이의 개선안을 제시하였고 국가, 지방자치단체의 건물 또는 도서관, 극장, 체육시설, 백화점, 박물관 등 일정 이상의 사람들이 사용하는 공용시설에서는 충전소 설치를 의무화하도록 제시하였다. 한편 충전소를 설치할 경우 독립된 공간을 확보하도록 하여 충전소를 이용하는 사람의 사생활을 보호하도록 하고 충전소 내 여러 가지 편의장비를 갖추도록 권고하여 이용자의 편리를 높이도록 하였다.

Sounds of electrically powered vehicle components such as window lift system, roller blind, etc., are required to be more comfortable and not to irritate the people emotionally. In this paper, a study was conducted to identify the significant sound quality metric and compose the luxuriousness sound quality index of electrically powered vehicle roller blind which is part of vehicle sunroof system. Before conducting subjective evaluation, sound characteristics of roller blind was analyzed and set the target operating sound for subjective evaluation. Thus, transfer sound of roller blind which has the characteristics of sound modulation was used for subjective evaluation. Multiple linear regression analysis was carried out by chosen Zwicker's metrics which are pointed by comments of jurors. Loudness and sharpness related metrics are prime metrics in luxuriousness sound quality index we composed. Also, effect of roller blind assay when it is attached to real vehicle was identified to evaluate the validity of index.

Power can be generated from either renewable or non-renewable sources. Renewable sources are liked to maintain a strategic distance from contamination emanation and rely on upon fossil energizes which is decreasing day by day. The proposed sun powered vitality transformation unit comprises of a sun oriented exhibit, Bidirectional DC-DC converter, single stage inverter and AC. The inverter changes over DC control from the PV board into AC power and offered it to the heap which is associated with the lattice. The photovoltaic sun powered vitality (PV) is the most direct approach to change over sunlight based radiation into power and depends on the photovoltaic impact. The most extreme power point following of the PV yield for all daylight conditions is a key to keep the yield control per unit cost low for fruitful PV applications. Framework associated PV frameworks dependably have an association with people in general power matrix by means of an appropriate inverter in light of the fact that a PV module conveys just dc power. This project presents the new design, Development and Performance Analysis of a Grid Connected PV Inverter. Demonstrate that the proposed framework can lessen the Energy Consumption radically from the power board and give a solid support to the Grid.

Remarkable developments in the electric and electronic industry have given people's daily life much more convenience and abundance. However, in electrical communication, or electric and electronic fields, making electrical and electronic devices more functional, more integrated, and faster have put electromagnetic interference(EMI) into more complex forms, and lots of problems such as interruption, malfunction, or interference by noise between electrical communication systems occurs every day. In this research, the electromagnetic compatibility(EMC) filter in the high powered breaker was designed and fabricated as a counter measure. The filter attenuated noise more than 20${\sim}$50 dB in the range of 10 MHz${\sim}$1.5 GHz. And, when the electric fast transient(EFT) of 4 kV in the level 4 of IEC 61000-4-4 was induced, it was soon suppressed to 600 V.

최근 코로나19 사태로 캠핑 문화가 급속하게 많은 사람들에게 관심을 받고 있다. 많은 캠퍼들이 겨울철 사용하는 대류난방기구는 온도 성층화 문제를 가지고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 다양한 동력 서큘레이터가 활용되고 있다. 몇 가지 무동력 서큘레이터도 판매가 되고 있으나, 서큘레이터의 방향이 대류난방기구와 직각으로 디자인되어 있어 실제 공기 순환의 역할을 제대로 하지 못하고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 3D 프린터를 이용하여 대류난방기구의 방향과 같은 무동력 서큘레이터를 디자인하였다. 펠티어소자와, 세라믹페이퍼 등을 이용하여 무동력으로 전기를 만들어 냈으며, HTPLA-CF 필라멘트를 이용하여 열에 강하게 제작하였다. 3D 프린터를 이용하여 원가를 절감할 수 있었으며, 다양한 대류난방기구의 크기에 맞게 제작 할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구는 효율적인 대류순환을 통해 온도 성층화 문제를 해결할 수 있는 하나의 방법을 제시한다. 또한 3D 프린터를 이용하여 보다 저렴하게 제품을 제작하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다.

An alternative human interface enabling people with severe motor disabilities to control an assistive system is presented. Since this interface relies on the biosignals originating from the contraction of muscles on the face during particular movements, even individuals with a paralyzed limb can use it with ease. For real-world application, a dedicated hardware module employing a general-purpose digital signal processor was implemented and its validity tested on an electrically powered wheelchair. Furthermore, an additional attempt to reduce error rates to a minimum for stable operation was also made based on the entropy information inherent in the signals during the classification phase. In the experiments, most of the five participating subjects could control the target system at their own will, and thus it is found that the proposed interface can be considered a potential alternative for the interaction of the severely disabled with electronic systems.
