  • The purpose of this study is to get related appropriate data for correct awareness and education of the university students who are using contact lens by investigating university students' awareness, present status, using habits and complication of contact lens. The method of survey was made by questionnaires which were spread to the group of 408 university students. The result indicated some characteristics including using daily wear soft lens of 55.7%, the major motive of using them is for cosmetics of 45.6%. Among them, 54.9% experienced complication, and the xerophthalmia was the most conspicuous case in the aspect of the kinds of the complication. In the aspect of the place where they purchased the contact lens, 93% of the users bought them at eye glasses stores. But when they experienced inconveniences of the contact lens, only 18.8% consulted the Stores. In the fact, I think, the users don't seem to trust the stores fully. Furthermore, 43.5% endure the inconveniences when they get them without any treatment. The fact indicates that they don't realize the seriousness of the complication due to contact lens. Reviewing above-stated facts, information and education for correct awareness and managing methods of contact lens, the complication seem 10 be required. In addition, optician specialized knowledge on contact lens and the sense of duty on national eye health improvement seem to be required.

  • Previously fabricated electronic devices were used for vacuum manufacturing processes such as conventional semiconductor manufacturing. However, they are difficult to apply to continuous processes such as roll-to-roll printing, which results in very high device manufacturing and processing costs. Therefore, many developers have been interested in applying continuous processes to contact printing or noncontact printing technologies and they proposed various continuous printing techniques instead of conventional batch coating. In this paper, we proposed improved gravure offset printing process as one of the contact printing technique. We used etching pattern geometry with soft core blanket roll for printing of ultra fine line below the 10um.Using this technique we obtained flexible metal grid mesh film as transparent conductive film.

  • This study made use of four kinds of mating balls that were made with stainless steel but subjected to different annealing conditions in order to achieve different levels of hardness. In all load conditions, testing results demonstrated that the harder the mating materials, the lower the friction coefficient was. Conversely, the high friction coefficient found in soft martensite balls appeared to be caused by the larger contact area between the DLC film and the ball. Raman Spectra analysis showed that the transferred materials were a kind of graphite and that the contact surface of the DLC film seemed to undergo a phase transition from carbon to graphite during the high friction process.

  • A mathematical framework for deriving acceleration bounds from given joint torque limits of two cooperating robots are described in this paper. Especially when the torque limits are given in 2-norm, the resultant geometrical configuration is ellipsoid(the ellipsoid is often called manipulability ellipsoid in many works). At first, the mathematical derivation starts from the dynamics of both object and robots as well as the kinematics of the robots, and is finally arranged in a form of equation relating joint torques to object acceleration through a complete constraint contact(or “very-soft contact”). To show the usefulness of the proposed method, two examples are included, and especially the case where friction effects the ellipsoid shape is also considered In the example.

  • Lens centration was the fitting variable that was most dependent on base curve radius. Flatter lenses tended to decenter more. A flatter contact lens will likely have to move into the periphery to reach this point of stability. In most cases, the decentration was in the superior and/or temporal direction. It was also found that comfort complains were more common with flatter lenses. The optimal fits was highest with the 8.4mm base curve lens for all three ranges fit eyes decreased as base curve radius was increased. These lenses with steeper radii lead to better centration and therefore to better fit and comfort for more patients than do thin lenses with flatter radii.

  • After ACL reconstruction. abrasion or wear of graft appeared frequently because of contact stresses between femoral tunnel and ACL. To minimize these problems. optimal shape of femoral tunnel is necessary. In this study. we evaluate friction force by degree of wear due to abrasion of soft tissue and develop 3-dimensional FEM model using ANSYS 5.5.1 version to analyze stress growths between femoral tunnel and ACL, We conclude that femoral tunnel angle must be slacked parallel to tunnel direction to minimize contact stress.

  • Tribological testing of DLC films was conducted using a rotating type ball on a disk friction tester in a dry chamber. This study made use of four kinds of mating balls that were made with stainless steel but subjected to diverse annealing conditions in order to achieve different levels of hardness. In all load conditions using martensite mating balls, the test results demonstrated that the friction coefficient was lower when the mating materials were harder. The high friction coefficient found in soft martensite balls appeared to be caused by the larger contact areas. The wear track on the mating balls indicated that a certain amount of material transfer occurs from the DLC film to the mating ball during the high friction process. Raman Spectra analysis showed that the transferred materials were a kind of graphite and that the contact surface of the DLC film seemed to undergo a phase transition from carbon to graphite during the high friction process.

  • The APAM's quantitative effectiveness and comparative study in preventing and treating pressure ulcer has not been sufficiently evaluated mainly because of uncertainty of pressure load input and lack of interpretation of dynamic perfusion recovery characteristics of soft tissue. The purpose of this paper was to quantify and analyze the alternating pressure characteristics of APAM as a preventive measure for pressure ulcers. To quantify the alternating load to human body, we introduced alternating pressure profile concept and developed parametric model of the profile. Regarding pressure level and cycle time, 3 global and 7 local periodic parameters were used to define the profile such as light, standard, typical and heavy duty profile shape. Pressure impulse ratio of light duty is the lowest but pressure fluctuation is significantly high. For the same duty shape, contact conditions are changed with alternating cycle time and more dramatically in shorter alternating cycle time conditions. We can conclude that if we use shorter alternating cycle time on APAM's operation we can get more positive effects regarding to inflated contact time condition. We proposed the quantitative methods on tissue viability study of external loading by simultaneous measurement of interface pressure and tissue perfusion with proper alternating pressure profile conditions.

  • Interfacial and rheological properties of selected hydrogel formulations were studied to understand the contact-lens comfort in end use. It was concluded that protein adsorption from aqueous solution decreased monotonically with increasing surface energy (water wettability) of tested hydrogels. Also, it has revealed that friction coefficient of polydimethylsiloxane-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PDMS-PVP) was significantly larger that 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) based hydrogels. Interestingly, in artificial tear solution, friction coefficients of HEMA based hydrogels were larger than silicone hydrogels.

  • Phenomelocial evidences for three-dimensional crystallizing $\pi$-bondings are investigated in case of the soft layer very near the suface of the metal , the surface layer of certain crystaline thermoplastics. the increased contact area of the metalic frictional interface and the delaminated sheet-like wear particles of the metal . The wear mechanisms are the cracks at the boundaries of the grains and their propagations parallel to the surface. The cracks are made by the reorientations of the atoms in the grains and the rotations of the grains.
