It is difficult to feed welding wire stably, when the distance between welding wire feeder and welding torch is far enough. In order to solve this problem, arranging a extension wire feeder between them could be one of useful methods. However, the welding wire could be twisted up in the extension cable between extension and terminal wire feeders in the case that RPM of extension wire feeding motor is higher than that of terminal motor. In this study, feeding problem of normal push-pull wire feeding system occurred at low welding current range less than 250A. In order to solve the problem, two new wire feeding systems of push-pull type were introduced. Welding wire feeding tests were preformed in the range of 150A to 400A with the developed push-pull feeding system. In addition, weldability test was performed at the welding current of 200A, 300A, and 400A. The welding wire twisting problem that was observed in the normal feeding system did not occur in the new push-pull wire feeding system.

In this paper present Low Drop-Out (LDO) regulator that improved load transient characteristics due to the push-pull detection structure. The response characteristic of the voltage delta value is improved due to the proposed push-pull sensing circuit structure between the input terminal of the LDO regulator pass transistor and the output terminal of the internal error amplifier. Voltage value has improved load transient characteristics than conventional LDO regulator. Compared to the conventional LDO regulator, it has an improved response speed of approximately 244 ns at rising time and approximately 90 ns at falling time. The proposed circuit was simulated by the samsung 0.13um process using Cadence's Specter and Virtuoso simulator.

Infill masonry walls are vulnerable to lateral loads, including seismic, wind, and concentrated push loads. Various strengthening metal fittings have been proposed to improve lateral load resistance, particularly against seismic loads. This study introduces the use of post-compressed wedges as a novel reinforcement method for infill masonry walls to enhance lateral load resistance. The resistance of the infill masonry wall against lateral-concentrated push loads was assessed using an out-of-plane push-over test on specimens sized 2,300×2,410×190 mm³. The presence or absence of wedges and wedge spacing were set as variables. The push-over test results showed that both the unreinforced specimen and the specimen reinforced with 300 mm spaced wedges toppled, while the specimen reinforced with 100 mm spaced wedges remained upright. Peak loads were measured to be 0.74, 29.77, and 5.88 kN for unreinforced specimens and specimens reinforced with 100 mm and 300 mm spaced wedges, respectively. Notably, a tighter reinforcement spacing yielded a similar strength, as expected, which was attributed to the increased friction force between the masonry wall and steel frame. The W-series specimens exhibited a trend comparable to that of the displacement ductility ratio. Overall, the findings validate that post-compressed wedges improve the out-of-plane strength of infill masonry walls.

In this study, we investigated the methods of improving the capturing ability of acid fume by assessing the performance of slot-type external hood installed on both sides of an open surface tank for acid washing process. A field survey and the results of computational fluid dynamics revealed that capturing performance of existing hoods is very poor. To solve such problem, 'push-pull hood' that pushes from one side of an open surface tank and pulls on the other side was suggested. The initial prediction was that if a push-pull hood is used, the acid fume of an acid-washing tank surface could be moved towards the hood through the push flow. However, this study has confirmed that if the push flow velocity becomes too high, it could spread to other areas due to flooding from the hood. Therefore, if the push air supply is maintained at around 25 $m^3/min$(push 10 m/s), proper control flow is formed on the surface of a tank and acid fume that stayed at the upper part of the tank is smoothly captured toward the hood, significantly enhancing the capturing performance.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the push-out bond strengths of resin cement/fiber post systems to post space dentin using different application methods of resin cement. Materials and Methods: Thirty extracted human premolars were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups according to the technique used to place the cement into root canal: using lentulo-spiral instrument (group Lentulo), applying the cement onto the post surface (group Direct), and injecting the material using a specific elongation tip (group Elongation tip). After shaping and filling of the root canal, post space was drilled using Rely-X post drill. Rely-X fiber post was seated using Rely-X Unicem and resin cement was light polymerized. The root specimens were embedded in an acrylic resin and the specimens were sectioned perpendicularly to the long axis using a low-speed saw. Three slices per each root containing cross-sections of coronal, middle and apical part of the bonded fiber posts were obtained by sectioning. The push-out bond strength was measured using Universal Testing Machine. Specimens after bond failure were examined using operating microscope to evaluate the failure modes. Results: Push-out bond strengths were statistically influenced by the root regions. Group using the elongation tip showed significantly higher bond strength than other ways. Most failures occurred at the cement/dentin interface or in a mixed mode. Conclusions: The use of an elongation tip seems to reduce the number of imperfections within the selfadhesive cement interface compared to the techniques such as direct applying with the post and lentulospiral technique.
