In this Paper, we present analysis on the dynamics of human swing and its realization by a miniaturized humanoid robot. Since the motion of legs is the most important in the swing, the swing system can be approximated as a double pendulum. Based on Lagrangian analysis, the leg motion is designed to make the swing motion as sustained oscillation. In order to detect the peak instant of the swing and to synchronize the leg motion with the swing, we use ADXL acceleration/inclination sensor. The miniaturized humanoid in this paper has total 20 DOFs including 6 DOFs in each leg, 34cm in height, and 2kg in weight. As a result of realization of the swing by the humanoid, the sustained oscillation is verified through experiments.

This paper presents the swing motion analysis of the container crane headblock with the passive control device using hydraulic motors and anti-swing ropes. The device hauls at the headblock to opposite direction of its swing motion using the tension difference between anti-swing ropes connected to the headblock. To consider this control mechanism, the headblock is modelled as the rigid bar suspended by two hoist ropes at the overhead trolley and its non-linear equation of motion is derived using Lagrange's equation. Some numerical experiments using the equation are carried out to investigate the swing motion characteristics of the headblock under the variation of geometric relation among the cargo handling components and to evaluate the performance of the anti-swing device.

The purposes of present study were to determine the major check-points of golf swing from the review of previous studies, and to suggest additional information on the teaching theory of golf. The golf swing motion of 6 male and female elite university golf players were filmed with 16mm Locam II high speed cameras at the speed of 200f/s, and variables such as time, displacement, angle, velocity were calculated and analyzed by 3D Cinematography using DLT method. The results were: 1. Differences were shown in the ratio of weight distribution on the feet, cocking angle, take-back velocity, club-head velocity at impact depending upon the physical characteristics and club used for swing. 2. Time for the down-swing and impact were $0.27{\sim}0.29s$ in men and $0.29{\sim}0.32s$ in women, which was 1/3 of the time for the back-swing. Women showed longer total swing time than men because of longer time in back-swing, follow-through and finish. 3. Men showed larger range of motion in shoulder and knee joints than women, on the other hand women showed larger range of motion in hip joint than men. 4. Cocking motion and right elbow flexion were occurred at the top of back-swing and cocking release was occurred at the moment of impact. Maximum rotations of shoulder and hip joints were found between the top of back-swing and down-swing phase. 5. Women showed lower back-swing velocity than men, and men showed higher club velocity(men: $38.2{\sim}38.6m/s$, women: $35.1{\sim}36.4m/s$) than women.

Soft Golf is a newly developed recreational sport in our research team aimed to become a safe and easy-to-learn sport for all ages. The advantage of Soft Golf stems from lighter weight of the club and much larger area of the sweet spot. The purpose of this study is to analyze ground reaction force(GRF) and joint angle during soft Golf club and regular golf club swing. The GRF of golf swing was recorded by 3-D motion analysis system and forceplate. The joint angle of golf swing was obtained from computer simulation model. The GRF and joint angle of golf swing are used to analysis of golf swing pattern. The pattern of GRF and joint angle during soft golf club swing was similar to that during regular golf club swing. This result means that soft golf club reduces the risk of injury and has an effect on similar entertainment of regular golf.

The purpose of this study was to develop a shirt pattern that enhances the functionality of golf swing motions. The pattern was made with 3D body surface shape data that changed according to dynamic golf postures. The data were collected from the golf swing motions. The 3D body surface data in golf swing postures piled up on the 3D surface data in a static posture. The results showed that the surface shape data changed more in the address, back swing, and finish postures than the other swing postures. The experimental pattern was developed with 3D surface scan data in those three golf swing motions. The pattern had raglan sleeves and the front-bodied piece was divided into two pieces with a princess line, which comes from armscye line of the address posture. The back bodice piece was divided into three pieces with a yoke line and a back princess line. The yoke line was made by back shoulder shape in the back swing posture. The level of comfort of the experimental garment and commercial golf shirts was evaluated by 38 women golfers. The experimental garment pattern was evaluated to be more comfortable in golf swing postures than commercial golf shirts.

People today belong to many different subcultures and have diverse interests. Their job no longer defines who they are, while their pastimes can be a bigger reflection of their inner self. This article examines swing dancers in Korea, and focuses on their self-identity and how they express this through clothes. Based on in-depth interviews, observations and photographs of swing dancers with different day jobs, the study results find that most of the subjects intentionally incorporate swing dance cues in their daily work wardrobe, and that this makes them feel more comfortable, honest and satisfied with their job and identity, both as a swing dancer and working professional.

This paper describes a new low-swing inverter for low power consumption. To reduce a power consumption, an output voltage swing is in the range from 0 to $V_{ref}-V_{TH}$, where $V_{ref}=V_{DD}-nV_{TH}$. This can be done by the inverter structure that allow a full swing or a swing on its input terminal without leakage current. Using this low-swing voltage technology, we propose a low-power $4\times4$ bit parallel multiplier. The proposed circuits are simulated with HSPICE under $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS standard technology. Compare to the previous works, this circuit can reduce the power consumption rate of 11.2% and the power-delay product of 10.3%.

Objective: Identification of meaningful patterns and trends in large volumes of unstructured data is an important task in various research areas. In the present study, we gathered golf swing image data and did quantitative analysis of swing image. Method: We collected golf swing images of 30 novice players and 30 professional players in this study. Results: We selected important features of swing posture and employed data mining algorithm to classify whether a player is an expert or a novice. Moreover, our proposed method could offer quantitative advices for golf beginners for correcting their swing. Conclusion: Finally, we found a possibility that our proposed method can be expanded to golf swing correction system

In this paper, we describe a new swing analysis system. We design this system to provide various information about golf swings and to help to correct wrong swings. We visualize three-dimensional skeletal information obtained from Kinect through various views. Golfers can see their swing behavior through these views. This system can calculate the similarity between the two trajectories obtained from Kinect to determine the similarity of swing trajectories of different golfers. Input trajectories are resampled to have equal spacing and are performed scaling and translation for accurate trajectory comparison. We have verified the usefulness of the proposed system through various analyzes.
