This paper presents an adaptive slicing method based on merging vertical layer polylines. Firstly, we slice the input 3D polygon model uniformly with the minimum printable thickness, which results in bounding polylines of the cross section at each layer. Next, we group a set of layer polylines according to vertical connectivity. We then remove polylines in overdense area of each group. The number of layers to merge is determined by the layer thickness computed using the cusp height of the layer. A set of layer polylines are merged into a single polyline by removing the polylines within the layer thickness. The proposed method maintains the shape features as well as reduces the printing time. For evaluation, we sliced ten 3D polygon models using our method and a global adaptive slicing method and measured the total length of polylines which determines the printing time. The result showed that the total length from our method was shorter than the other method for all ten models, which meant that our method achieved less printing time.

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a method for measuring breast size from three-dimensional (3D) body scan image data. Background: Previous bra studies established reference points by directly contacting the subject's naked skin to determine the boundary of the breast. But some subjects were uncomfortable with these types of measurements. This study examined noncontact methods of extracting breast reference points from 3D body scan data that were collected while subjects were wearing standardized soft bras. Method: 3D body scan data of 32 Korean women were analyzed. The subjects were selected from the Size Korea 2010 study. The breast landmarks were identified by graphic analyses of slicing contour lines on 3D body scan data. Results: Three methods determining bra cup size were compared. The M1 and M2 methods determined cup size by calculating the difference between bust girth and under-bust girth. The M3 method determined bra cup size by measuring breast arc length. Conclusion: The researchers proposed an anthropometric bra cup sizing system with the breast arc length (M3 method). It was measured from the geometrically defined landmarks on the 3D body scan slicing contour lines. The new bra cup size was highly correlated with breast depth. Application: The noncontact measuring method used in this study can be applied to the ergonomic studies measuring sensitive body parts.

Purpose : To evaluate the bone densities measured on copper-equivalent image of cross sectional view of mandibular edentulous premolar area obtained by multifuctional panoramic x-ray machine, PM 2002 CC with transversal slicing system. Materials and Methods: Panoramic cross sectional views with 8 mm focal layer of aluminum step and blocks, of hydroxyapatite (RA) step, 6 HA blocks and copper step wedge having 0.03 mm thickness of each step, and of 3 bone blocks cutted by 8 mm thickness mesiodistally and a dry mandible with copper step wedge were taken by using transversal slicing system in PM 2002 Cc. All reference-equivalent images were made and analyzed by NIH image program. Results: The average copper-equivalent value of cancellous bone of bone blocks on the panoramic cross sectional view was 0.026 ± 0.020 mm Cu. The calculated average bone density was 0.38g/cm². There was no significant difference (P>0.1) between the bone densities on intraoral digital view and on the panoramic digital cross sectional view. Conclusion: The copper-equivalent image of panoramic digital cross sectional view obtained by PM 2002 CC with very thin copper step wedge was supposed to be useful to measure the bone density of cancellous bone of mandible at the premolar edentulous area.

In order to develop a better food preparation method in terms of vitamin retention in food service establishments, the retention rate of riboflavin in two kinds of Korean dish (stir-fried sausage with vegetables, stir-fried garlic young stems) were examined during various cooking stages, holding temperature and duration time. Riboflavin content of the sample was analyzed using by using a HPLC with a fluorescent detector at various holding durations and temperatures. Also the changes in the pH and water contents of the samples were measured during holding at various temperatures to find any relation among the pH, water contents and riboflavin content. In the results, there were significant differences in riboflavin contents at various cooking processes such as washing, slicing, blanching, soaking, etc. Also, the retention rates of riboflavin at various holding methods and temperature were significantly different from one another. Especially 50% reduction of riboflavin content occurred during blanching of young garlic stem and only 38% of riboflavin was left after slicing carrots for stir-frying of sausage.

Software engineers generally analyze the program behavior under the test case that revealed the error, not under any teneric est case. In this paper we discuss the dynamic slice consisting of all statements that actually affect the value of a variable occurrence for a given program input. We propose an efficient algorithm to make dynamic program slices. The eficiency of this algorithm is evaluated on some developed program. results are shown by a marking table of execution history. Dynamic Dependence Graph, and Reduced Dynamic Dependence Graph, Consequently, the efficiency of the proosed algorithm is also presented by the compariso with algorithm that was announced previously.

Rapid Prototyping(RP)이란 3차원 솔리드 모델을 단면화한 뒤 하나씩 적층하는 가공방식을 총칭한다. 이때 단면화하는 방법에 따라서 uniform, adaptive slicing으로 나뉘며, 입력 모델에 따라서 direct slicing과 STL을 이용한 방식으로 나뉜다. 적층 방법에 따라서는 연속된 2D 윤곽을 기반으로 적층하는 vertical layer 방식과 인접한 두 개의 2D 윤곽들을 연결하며 만들어진 3D layer를 기반으로 가공하는 sloping layer방식으로 나뉠 수 있다. 현재 상용 RP 시스템들에서는 거의 모든 경우 vertical layer 방식이 채택되어 사용되고 있다. RP와 절삭 공정, 예를 들면 CNC 밀링의 장점을 효율적으로 결합하기 위해서는 임의의 복잡한 형상을 갖는 솔리드 모델을 정밀도에 제한이 없이 제조할 수 있어야 한다. 그러나 절삭 공정은 특별한 전문적 지식들을 필요로 한다 또한 상용 RP에서 사용하는 순차적인 적층 작업으로는 가공할 수 없는 형상들이 많다. 대표적인 것으로 지지대를 필요로 하는 형상들이 있다. 이러한 형상들을 지원하기 위해서는 복잡한 3D 형상을 절삭 가능한 형식으로 분할하는 것과 적층 가능한 순서대로 공정 계획하는 것이 필요하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 SDM에서 제시된 3D 분할 방법이 솔리드 모델을 기반으로 전개되어 STL file과 같은 삼각다면체 형식으로 근사화된 모델에 적용하기 어렵다는데 착안하여 STL file에서 읽어들인 삼각 다면체 모델을 가공 가능한 3D 형상으로 분할하는 알고리즘을 제시하고자 한다.
