  • A new piezoceramic $d_{15}$ shear-induced torsion actuation mechanism representative benchmark is proposed and its experimentations and corresponding 3D finite element (FE) simulations are conducted. For this purpose, a long and thin smart sandwich cantilever beam is dimensioned and built so that it can be used later for either validating analytical Saint Venant-type solutions or for analyzing arm or blade-based smart structures and systems applications. The sandwich beam core is formed by two adjacent rows of 8 oppositely axially polarized d15 shear piezoceramic patches, and its faces are dimensionally identical and made of the same glass fiber reinforced polymer composite material. Quasi-static and static experimentations were made using a point laser sensor and a scanning laser vibrometer, while the 3D FE simulations were conducted using the commercial software $ABAQUS^{(R)}$. The measured transverse deflection by both sensors showed strong nonlinear and hysteretic (static only) variation with the actuation voltage, which cannot be caught by the linear 3D FE simulations.

  • In order to evaluate performance of anti-vibration gloves, it is necessary to measure the transmitted vibration to the hand and the applied forces at the same time while gripping the vibrating handle. In the study a system was developed to measure both the vibration and the forces. The system consists of a measurement handle with eight strain gauges and two accelerometers and a PC-based system with a software for signal processing and evaluation of the hand-transmitted vibration and for control of applied forces in the pre-determined range. The handle was installed on the vibration shaker which is strong enough so as not to be affected by dynamic coupling with the hand-arm system. Whole procedure of ISO 10819 to determine the vibration transmissibility of anti-vibration gloves was programmed into the system. As an example of the application, three subjects joined the test to get vibration transmissibilities of anti-vibration gloves where each glove was tested twice a subject. Average and standard deviation of vibration transmissibility were also calculated.

  • Tetrasomy 18p is a genetic syndrome caused by an isochromosome consisting of two copies of the short arm of chromosome 18. Clinically, pediatric cases of tetrasomy 18p manifest with global developmental delay, similar to most cases of chromosomal abnormality. In addition, it causes various symptoms including abnormal muscle tone. We report a case of an infant with global developmental delay and remarkable spasticity, the typical phenotype of bilateral spastic cerebral palsy. However, she had a subtle anomaly in her face, and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were inconsistent with her strong upper motor neuron signs. Upon genetic testing, she was determined to have an 18p isochromosome, confirming de novo non-mosaic tetrasomy 18p. Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder that includes developmental delay caused by a non-progressive lesion in the developing brain. During diagnostic workup in patients with cerebral palsy, genetic testing should be considered when there are minor physical anomalies or equivocal MRI findings.

  • Recently the importance of the cargo handling equipments in a port has been increasing to get strong competition from other ports. Many ports are making efforts to modernize their cargo handling equipments. The kernel technology of such equipments is the speed control of DC motor which is used as an essential part of them. In this paper, we discuss the speed control of a DC motor as a basic work for building cargo handling equipments in a port. DC Motors are still widely used in industrial fields, as driving power motor for electrical fields. DC drives, being easy to control, are widely used in many variable-speed and position control drive system. Traditional analog control circuits used in such applications have many disadvantages. Complex control schemes are difficult to implement with analog components. All these factor and invention of the microprocessor has made it possible to use digital control circuits, using microprocessing system. These digital circuits have been found to be reliable, flexible, and also immune to noise. In this paper it presents the speed control of a SCR DC motor driver which using dual converter by 80c196kc microprocessor. We developed a thyristor power amplifier which does not cause damage thyristor because it is designed to prevent triggering the two SCRs in the same arm simultaneously. And it was analyzed voltage and currents wave at reactive load.

  • Objective: This study aims to compare the range of motion of the joints by applying the contraction and relaxation techniques used in manual therapy as electrical stimulation treatment. Based on this, we would like to propose the possibility of using motor nerve electrical stimulation therapy for musculoskeletal physical therapy. Design: Single-arm interventional study Methods: Active and passive straight leg raising tests were performed on 20 healthy men and women in their 20s to measure the angle of hip joint flexion. Then, the electrical stimulation time was set to 10 seconds and 5 seconds of rest, and motor nerve electrical stimulation of 1 Hz was applied with the maximum strength that could withstand the hamstring muscles for 10 minutes. After electrical stimulation, straight leg raising tests again to confirm the range of motion of the hip joint flexion. Results: As a result of this study, it was confirmed that the joint range of motion was significantly improved for both active and passive straight leg raising tests after application of motor nerve electrical stimulation(p<.05). Conclusions: With a strong electrical stimulation treatment of 1 Hz, the effect similar to the contraction and relaxation technique used in manual therapy was confirmed through the joint range of motion. In the future, motor nerve electrical stimulation therapy can be used for musculoskeletal physical therapy to provide a new approach for patients with reduced pain and joint range of motion due to muscle tension.

  • This study carried out a horticultural program for people with mental disabilities to determine suitability of the horticultural activity program and to actually apply to vocational rehabilitation. The program was carried out in 16 sessions from April 12 to June 7, 2018 with nine people with a strong will to participate in vocational rehabilitation at a health center for persons with mental disabilities. The tools used were the Horticultural Activity Performance Assessment (psychological behavior) and Purdue Pegboard Test that examines functions of hands and arms. The subjects sold the products they made during class time and obtained the profits. After the program, the scores increased with a significant difference (p = .000) in the psychological behavior area of the Horticultural Activity Performance Assessment. Hand and arm movement also showed continuous improvement along the program with a significant difference (p = .000), as well as finger dexterity also with a significant difference (p = .018). The net profit was 314,000 KRW (subtracting cost of goods 314,000 KRW from total sales 628,000 KRW). The profit was shared equally among the nine subjects, each receiving 34,900 KRW. Therefore this study proved horticultural activity class is suitable for vocational rehabilitation of people with mental disabilities proved by the positive effects. We also expect that the subjects will be able to make more profits if they learn more skills, since they are interested the process of making such profits.

  • 실시간 운영체제(Real-Time Operating System: 이하 RTOS라 함) 개발환경에서 제공하는 도구 중에 하나인 RTOS 시뮬레이터는 타겟 하드웨어가 호스트에 연결되어 있지 않아도 호스트에서 응용프로그램의 개발과 디버깅을 가능하게 해주는 타겟 시뮬레이션 환경을 제공해 줌으로서, 개발자로 하여금 빠른 시간 내에 응용프로그램을 개발할 수 있도록 지원하며 하드웨어 개발이 완료되기 전에도 응용프로그램을 개발할 수 있게 해 준다. 그러한 이유로 현재 대부분의 상용 RTOS 개발환경에서는 RTOS 시뮬레이터를 제공하고 있다. 그러나 현재 상용 RTOS 시뮬레이터들은 대부분 RTOS의 기능적인 부분들만 호스트에서 동작하도록 구현되어 있어서 RTOS나 RTOS 응용프로그램이 실제 타겟에서 실행될 때의 실질적인 시간 추정이 불가능하다. 이러한 문제점은 실시간 시스템이 정해진 시간 내에 결과를 출력해야 하는 시스템임을 감안한다면 RTOS 시뮬레이터의 가장 큰 결점이 되기 때문에 실행시간 추정 기능을 가지면서 실용화도 가능한 RTOS 시뮬레이터가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하여 RTOS와 RTOS 응용프로그램이 실제 타겟에서 처리될 때의 실행시간 추정이 가능하고 상용화가 가능한 기계 명령어 기반(machine instruction-based)의 RTOS 시뮬레이터를 연구 개발하였다. 나아가 실행시간의 주요 요소인 파이프라인과 캐쉬의 영향도 고려함으로서 실행시간 추정의 정확도를 향상시켰다 본 연구에서 사용된 RTOS는 한국전자통신연구원(ETRI)에서 2000년에 개발된 Q+이고, Q+가 동작하는 타겟 하드웨어는 ARM 계열의 StrongARM SA-110 마이크로프로세서와 21285 주제어기가 장착된 EBSA-285 보드이다. 측정하면서 수행하였다. 검증 결과 random 상태에서는 문헌자료에 부합되는 예측결과를 보여주었으나, intermediate와 constant 상태에서는 문헌보다 다소 낮은 속도를 보여주었다 이러한 속도차는 추후 현장 데이터를 수집하여 보다 실질적인 검증을 통하여 조정되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.지발광(1.26초)보다 구애발광(1.12초)에서 0.88배 감소하였고, 암컷에서 정지발광(2.99초)보다 구애발광(1.06초)에서 0.35배 감소하였다. 발광양상에서 발광주파수는 수짓의 정지발광에서 0.8 Hz, 수컷 구애발광에서 0.9 Hz, 암컷의 정지발광에서 0.3 Hz, 암컷의 구애발광에서 0.9 Hz로 각각 나타났다.

  • I try to solve the problem of the usage of the general software interrupt with the nested call of the software interrupt and the effective passing way of the parameters. The software interrupt should be protected against the indiscriminate access because it is used to call the system functions or to use the system resources by generating a software interrupt. But, it is difficult to effectively handle the SWI instruction because of its limited usage. I designed and implemented nested call of the software interrupt and the effective way that handle the parameters in the software interrupt service routine to solve this problem in this paper. In other words, from the single SWI call to the nested SWI call, I improved the software interrupt use all the more flexibly, and I compared and analyzed the strong and weak points of the two passing ways of the parameters. The main differences between these two ways are speed and readability. The stack pointer getting way incurred a lot of overhead although it has a very great readability. But, the stack pointer passing way producted 19% of the effectivity in speed by reduce overhead.

  • The purpose of this study was to provide information about kinematic variables of the gliding and delivery motion of Hyung-Keun Lee, a high school shot putter who was ranked 1st at the 2011 National Sports Festivals. Three-Dimensional motion analysis using a system of 4 video cameras at a sampling frequency of 60 Hz was conducted during shot-putting events at the 2011 National Sports Festivals. During the gliding and delivery phase of the player the results showed following characteristics; 1) The gliding technique types of the player appeared to be the short-long technique as the gliding and stance length ratio were $42.3{\pm}3.87$ % and $57.7{\pm}3.87$ %, respectively. In addition, the trajectory of shots during the gliding and delivery phase showed different trajectory patterns with "S-shaped" type of elite players due to the deviation from a central axis of the APSS (athletic-plus shot system). 2) The horizontal velocity of COG made from gliding should maintain the velocity during transition and release phase, but the player showed a small momentum for a gradual decrease of velocity. 3) Therefore, the player requires to adjust an appropriate ratio between gliding and stance length with a strong muscle power at the trunk, throwing arm, and the lower extremity during gliding and delivery phase.
