Vacuum cleaner is a close life product that can remove various dusts from our surroundings. However well vacuum cleaner clean our environments, many people are looking away from it, due to its loud noise. Its noise causes a big trouble in the usual life, for example, catch calls, TV watching and discussing etc. To reduce these inconveniences, noise reduction methods and systematic design of low noise vacuum cleaner are studied in this paper. At first, sound quality investigation is performed to get the noise level and quality that make people TV watching and catch calls available. Based on the European and domestic customer SQ survey result, sound power, peak noise level and target sound spectrum guideline are studied and introduced. As a second, precise product sound spectrums are designed into each part based on the sound quality result. Fan-motor, brush, mainbody, cyclone spectrums are decided to get the final target sound based on the contribution level. Fan-motor is the major noise source of vacuum cleaner. Specially, its peak sound, RPM peak and BPF Peak, cause the people nervous. To reduce these peak sounds, high rotating impeller and diffuser are focused due to its interaction. A lot of experimental and numerical tests, operation points are investigated and optimization of flow path area between diffusers is performed. As a bagless device, cyclones are one of the major noise sources of vacuum cleaner. To reduce its noise, previous research is used and adopted well. Brush is the most difficult part to reduce noise. Its noise sources are all comes from aero-acoustic phenomena. Numerical analysis helps the understanding of flow structure and pattern, and a lot of experimental test are performed to reduce the noise. Gaps between the carpet and brush are optimized and flow paths are re-designed to lower the noise. Reduction is performed with keeping the cleaning efficiency and handling power together and much reduction of noise is acquired. With all above parts, main-body design is studied. To do a systematic design, configuration design developments technique is introduced from airplane design and evolved with each component design. As a first configuration, fan-motor installation position is investigated and 10 configuration ideas are developed and tested. As a second step, reduced size and compressed configuration candidates are tested and evaluated by a lot of major factor. Noise, power, mass production availability, size, flow path are evaluated together. If noise reduction configuration results in other performance degrade, the noise reduction configuration is ineffective. As a third configuration, cyclones are introduced and the size is reduced one more time and fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh configuration are evolved with size and design image with noise and other performance indexes. Finally we can get a overall much noise level reduction configuration. All above investigations are adopted into vacuum cleaner design and final customer satisfaction tests in Europe are performed. 1st grade sound quality and lowest noise level of bagless vacuum cleaner are achieved.

Objective: The first aim of this study is to determine the effects of acupuncture on the autonomic nervous system (ANS) via Heart Rate (HR) and Pupil Size (PS), and to compare the effects of acupuncture on the subjects' ANS when they are in a sitting position with the effects when they are in a supine position. Methods: Ten healthy male subjects were randomized to receive either verum acupuncture stimulation in a sitting position (SitV), verum acupuncture stimulation in a supine position (SupV), sham acupuncture stimulation in a sitting position (SitS), and sham acupuncture stimulation in a supine position (SupS). Acupuncture stimulation was applied to Neguan point (PC6) on the forearm. The subject's electrocardiogram (ECG) and pupil size were recorded continuously from 5 min before stimulation to 12 min after stimulation. Results: Verum and sham acupuncture stimulation were found to have reduced heart rate (p<0.01) and to have increased pupil size (p<0.01) in all the subjects. But when the reduction in HR and the increment in PS after verum acupuncture stimulation (both sitting and supine position) were compared with those after sham acupuncture stimulation, it was found that the reduction in HR (74.48 and 73.47 bpm, p<0.063) and the increment of PS (7.32 and, 6.10 mm, p<0.001) after verum acupuncture stimulation were greater than those after sham acupuncture stimulation, and that the corresponding values were statistically significant. In addition, at the baseline, it was found that the subjects had a larger PS and a faster HR in a sitting position than when they did so in a supine position. And then the reduction and increment ratio in the subject's HR and PS when they underwent acupuncture stimulation in a sitting position was significantly different from the reduction and increment in their HR and PS when they underwent the procedure in a supine position-i.e., the reduction ratio in HR was greater when they underwent the procedure in a sitting position, and such reduction ratio was statistically significant (p<0.05). As for the increment in PS, it was greater when the subjects underwent the procedure in a supine position, and such increment was significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: Manual acupuncture stimulation on Neguan point (PC6) has more significant influence on the autonomic nervous system rather than sham acupuncture (tactile stimulation). And the position-induced different states of ANS have different influence on the acupuncture effect.

This paper investigates the relationship between the two problems, supervisor reduction and observation function (projection) design, which arise in supervisory control of DEDS. It is shown through an example that a reduced supervisor of minimal size does not necessarily result in a maximal projection when a projection design method which uses the transition structure of a supervisor is applied. Also, if an L-realizable projection P is available and if a supervisor has a special structural feature, a cover C for supervisor reduction can be easily obtained. By investigating the control-compatibility of states of the reduced supervisor based on C, we can also check maximality of P in a simple manner.

This paper presents the method of low power optimization considering the glitch reduction in CMOS circuits. Our algorithm utilizes the information of MOS size, the load capacitance of fan-out, and input slew to calculate the output waveform by using the linear signal model. Therefore, the accurate waveform of glitch can be obtained for estimation of power dissipation caused by glitches. Our algorithm is applied to ISCAS’85 benchmark circuits and experimental results show 23% glitch reduction and 11% total power reduction.

실리카 콜로이드 용액의 정유량 한외여과에서 중력 방향에 대한 막모듈의 위치(경사각) 변화에 따라 발생되는 자연대류 불안정 흐름의 막오염 저감효과를 차압의 변화 정도를 측정하여 규명하였다. 막표면에 케이크 층을 형성함으로서 막오염을 발생시키는 나노 사이즈의 실리카 입자(평균 크기 = 7, 12, 22, 50 nm 및 78 nm)가 함유된 5가지 종류의 콜로이드 용액을 사용하여 중력 방향에 대한 막모듈의 위치(경사각 = $0^{\circ}{\sim}180^{\circ}$)에 따른 차압의 변화를 교반이 없는 dead-end 정유량 한외여과 실험을 통해 측정하였다. 상대적으로 크기가 작은 실리카 입자(7, 12 nm 및 22 nm)가 함유된 콜로이드 용액의 정유량 한외여과에서 막모듈 경사각을 $30^{\circ}$ 이상으로 유지하면 막모듈에 자연대류 불안정 흐름이 발생되어 막오염 형성을 크게 억제시켜 차압의 증가가 거의 나타나지 않았다. 이 자연대류 불안정 흐름의 발생은 막표면에 형성된 실리카 케이크층의 벌크용액으로의 역이동(back transport)을 유발시킴으로서 차압의 증가를 억제시키는 막성능 개선 효과를 나타내었다. 그러나 상대적으로 크기가 큰 실리카 입자(50 및 78 nm)가 함유된 콜로이드 용액의 정유량 한외여과에서는 자연대류 불안정 흐름 발생의 효과가 거의 없었다. 임계 플럭스 측정 결과 실리카 입자의 크기가 작을수록 그리고 막모듈 경사각이 클수록 막모듈에의 자연대류 불안정 흐름의 발생 강도가 커져 막오염 형성이 억제되었으며, 이로 인해 임계 플럭스가 증가하였다.

본 연구에서는 PAA를 사용한 액상환원법에 의해 은 나노용액을 합성하는 과정에서 실험변수로서 PAA의 분자량, PAA의 첨가량, 환원제, 분산제, 유기용매 등을 사용하여 은 나노입자의 크기와 분산특성을 조사하였다. UV-Visable spectrophotometer로 은 나노입자의 생성을 확인하였으며, SEM으로 nanometer 영역의 입자크기와 분산특성을 알아냈다. 초음파 파쇄시간이 증가할수록 은 나노입자의 덩어리가 작아지는 경향을 나타내며 3시간 이후에는 1-5개의 작은 덩어리 형태로 은 나노입자가 분산되었다. 초음파 파쇄와 함께 Copolymer with pigment affinic group을 주성분으로 하는 분산제인 BYK-192를 첨가해 주면 49.56-85.75 nm의 크기를 가진 비교적 구형에 가까운 균일한 은 나노입자가 균일하게 완전히 분산되는 되었다. PAA의 분자량이 증가할수록 은 나노입자의 평균크기가 36.82<50.66<56.06 nm 순으로 증가하였다. 또한 PAA의 첨가량이 늘어날수록 은 나노입자의 표면에 덧씌움 현상이 일어나서 은 나노입자의 크기가 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 환원제인 Hydrazine을 첨가하면 환원반응에 의해 많은 수의 핵이 생성되었기 때문에 상대적으로 작은 크기의 입자가 생성되었다. 유기용제(에타놀-아세톤)는 은 나노입자의 규칙적 배열을 도와주었다.

$Cu-Al_20_3 $ composite powders were prepared by hydrogen reduction of $Cu^{2+}$ from ammoniacal copper sulfate solution on alumina core using autoclave. The copper reduction rate and the properties of copper layer were investigated using Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM), X-ray diffractometer, size and chemical analyzers. The reduction rate of $Cu^{2+}$ showed the maximum value when the molar ratio of [$NH_3$]/[$Cu^{2+}$] was 2. In order to prevent the agglomeration of Cu powder and ethane reduction rate, $Fe^{2+}$ and anthraquinone which act as catalysis were added in the solution. Catalysis was effectively chanced with the addition of two elemerts at a time. Optimum conditions obtained in this study were hydrogen reduction temperature of 205$^{\cire}C$, stirring speed of 500 rpm and hydrogen partial pressure of 300 psi. Obtained $Cu-Al_20_3 $ composite Powders were found to have the uniform and continuous copper coating layer of nodule shape with 3~5 $\mu$m thickness.

The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics and quantity of the noise reduction by floor coverings. The characteristics on the reduction of the lightweight impact sound level by floor coverings is as follows. The insulation level attained by floor coverings tends to be smaller in actual buildings than in public laboratories. The reduction of the impact sound level to the tape is similar to the method of adhesives. For this reason, the reduction of impact sound level by floor coverings in public laboratories can be utilized to tape. And the reduction of impact sound level by floor coverings is not influenced by the size of specimen except the specific frequency.

Macroglossia can cause dentomusculoskeletal deformities, instability of orthodontic and orthognathic surgical treatment, and create masticatory, speech and airway management problems. To determine whether a reduction glossectomy is necessary, it will important to identify the signs and symptoms of macroglossia. Development of dentoskeletal changes directly related with tongue size, such as an anterior open bite or a Angle Class III malocclusion tendency, would indicate that reduction glossectomy may be beneficial. For reduction glossectomy, several techniques have been reported. However, in most techniques the tip of tongue is removed. So its excision causes the loss of most mobile and sensitive portion of the tongue, and creates ankylosed, globular tongue. To avoid such problems, central tongue reduction technique have been proposed. This article will introduce central tongue reduction for anterior openbite case associated with macroglossia.

Metallic tantalum powder is manufactured by reducing tantalum oxide ($Ta_2O_5$) with magnesium gas at 1,073-1,223 K in a reactor under argon gas. The high thermodynamic stability of magnesium oxide makes the reduction reaction from tantalum oxide into tantalum powder possible. The microstructure after the reduction reaction has the form of a mixture of tantalum and magnesium oxide, and the latter could be entirely eliminated by dissolving in weak hydrochloric acid. The powder size in SEM microstructure for the tantalum powder increases after acid leaching in the range of 50-300 nm, and its internal crystallite sizes are observed to be 11.5 to 24.7 nm with increasing reduction temperatures. Moreover, the optimized reduction temperature is found to be 1,173 K as the minimum oxygen concentration is approximately 1.3 wt.%.
