In recent years, environments of business are changing due to epoch-making development of information technology and the advent of digital economy ages. It is an active confrontation as to the environments for information. Unlike the large scale enterprises in those days, hower, many small & medium enterprises especially the enterprises which are engaged in the manufacturing industry-aren't participate in information's rank due to the lack of funds, manpower, insufficient management environments, and manager or staff's lack of cognition as to information. So, this paper make a base of establishment for ISP through the establishment of ERP that is used to management activity for small & medium manufacturing enterprises. A way for small & medium enterprises' ERP construction is SMERP S/W for the small & medium enterprises' ERP package which is offered by the Korea chamber of commerce & industry. And, that is applied to the real management environment.

Recently, small hydropower attracts attention because of its clean, renewable and abundant energy resources to develop. Therefore, a cross-flow hydraulic turbine is proposed for small hydropower development in this study. The turbine‘s simple structure and high possibility of applying to the sites of relatively low effective head and large flow rate can be advantages for the introduction of the small hydropower development. The purpose of this study is not only to investigate the effects of air layer in the turbine chamber on the performance and internal flow of the cross-flow turbine, but also to suggest a newly developed air supply method. CFD analysis for the performance and internal flow of the turbine is conducted by an unsteady state calculation using a two-phase flow model in order to embody the air layer effect on the turbine performance effectively. The result shows that air layer effect on the performance of the turbine is considerable. The air layer located in the turbine runner passage plays the role of preventing a shock loss in the runner axis and suppressing a recirculation flow in the runner. The location of air suction hole on the chamber wall is very important factor for the performance improvement. Moreover, the ratio between air from suction pipe and water from turbine inlet is also significant factor of the turbine performance.

This paper evaluates patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) in the treatment of small and multiple tumors by the CyberKnife system with fixed collimators, using an ion chamber and EBT3 films. We selected 49 patients with single or multiple brain tumors, and the treatment plans include one to four targets with total volumes ranging from 0.12 cc to 3.74 cc. All PSQA deliveries were performed with a stereotactic dose verification phantom. The A16 microchamber (Standard Imaging, WI, USA) and Gafchromic EBT3 film (Ashland ISP Advanced Materials, NJ, USA) were inserted into the phantom to measure the point dose of the target and the dose distribution, respectively. The film was scanned 1 hr after irradiation by a film digitizer scanner and analyzed using RIT software (Radiological Imaging Technology, CO, USA). The acceptance criteria was <5% for the point dose measurement and >90% gamma passing rate using 3%/3 mm and relative dose difference, respectively. The point dose errors between the calculated and measured dose by the ion chamber were in the range of -17.5% to 8.03%. The mean point dose differences for 5 mm, 7.5 mm, and 10 mm fixed cone size was -11.1%, -4.1%, and -1.5%, respectively. The mean gamma passing rates for all cases was 96.1%. Although the maximum dose distribution of multiple targets was not shown in the film, gamma distribution showed that dose verification for multiple tumors can be performed. The use of the microchamber and EBT3 film made it possible to verify the dosimetric and mechanical accuracy of small and multiple targets. In particular, the correction factors should be applied to small fixed collimators less than 10 mm.

In the present study, actuators with diaphragms of different thickness and chambers of different diameter are fabricated to examine experimentally how the behavior characteristics of the actuator diaphragm in a thermopneumatic micropump are affected by diaphragm thickness and chamber diameter under various operating conditions with different values of input voltage and frequency. The actuator comprises a microheater set on Pyrex glass, a chamber, and a diaphragm. For all values of the input energy, as the frequency decreases below 10 Hz, the maximum center deflection of the diaphragm greatly increases irrespective of diaphragm thickness and chamber diameter. At low frequencies, as the heat energy supplied to the chamber increases, the center of deflection of the diaphragm increases; the magnitude of deflection is high for thin diaphragms and for diaphragms whose chambers have small diameters. At frequencies higher than 10 Hz, all the design variables such as diaphragm thickness, chamber diameter, and the input energy have negligible effect on the center deflection of the diaphragm.

In this study, numerical simulations were performed to determine the dynamic characteristics of a pintle nozzle, with changes to the chamber boundary conditions. To apply movement, to the pintle, the nozzle and pintle were created separately by an auto-grid generation program using an overset grid method. The chamber boundary conditions were selected between a constant mass-flow rate condition and a propellant burn-back condition. The pressure and thrust characteristics of the constant mass-flow rate condition were determined by changing the ratio of the mass-flow rate in the inlet. The propellant burn-back condition was considered by formulation of the combustion rate. The burn-back conditions represented nonlinear phenomena, unlike the constant mass flow rate, and a small flow rate resulted in a large change in the chamber pressure.

Objectives: A fit test panel is needed to identify the fit performance of a respirator and its face seal. This is a criterion for selecting subjects that can represent the facial characteristics of users. Although anthropometry data has been developed for people in United States and China it is not yet present in Korea. This study aimed to develop a Korean fit test panel and test headform. Methods: For the 7th and 8th waves of the Size Korea anthropometry data, facial measurements of 11,429 people aged 15 to 69 years were used for analysis. PCA and bivariate panel were classified using the ISO16976-2:2022(E) anthropometrics analysis method. Based on this result, a static headform was developemed and a fit test chamber was constructed. Results: Of the 11,429 Korean people used for principal component analysis, 11,300 were included in the ellipse, marking an acceptance rate of 98.87% on PCA panel. The face types were classified into five types. Among them, a large, medium, and small static headform were printed using a 3D printer. In addition, 10,985 people (96.12%) were included in the bivariate panel based on face length and face width. The y-axis (face length) boundary was 97.87 to 134.59 mm, and the x-axis (face width) boundary was 120.75 to 158.23 mm. Conclusions: Compared to the ISO analysis, the Korean principal component was narrower in the width item (PC1) and longer in the length item (PC2). For the future, it is necessary to conduct a fit test using the developed headform and chamber device to confirm the usefulness of this Korean test panel. Therefore, this study is considered valuable as basic research for Korean test panels.

This paper presents a implantable intrathecal drug infusion pump for pain control in cancer patients. This device consists of micropump module, drug reservoir module and control module. The micropump module using cam-follower mechanism composed of small-sized four cams and four followers. Each followers is driven by a cam and liquid is discharged by a sequential reciprocal motion of the followers. The advantage of this structure is that it allows the pump to be clean and valveless. The drug reservoir module composed of drug chamber, gas chamber and diaphragm. The control module composed of battery, wireless communication unit and controller. To design a small-sized, low power pump some analysis were performed to determine the design parameters. To verify the feasibility of the experiment, a prototype was manufactured and its operating characteristics were investigated. Experimental results were in accordance with the expected results obtained from analysis.
