This paper presents the temperature-pressure characteristics of SMH actuator using a peltier module. The simple SMH actuator, consisting of the plated hydrogen-absorbing alloy as a power source, Peltier elements as a heat source and a cylinder with metal bellows a functioning part has been developed. The SMH actuator is characterized by its small size, low weight, noiseless operation and a compliance similar to that of the human body. A new special metal hydride(SMH) actuator that uses the reversible reaction between the heat energy and mechanical energy of a hydrogen absorbing ally. It is well known that hydrogen-absorbing alloys can reversibly absorb and desorb a large amount of hydrogen, more than about 1000 times as their own volume. To improve the thermal conductivity of the hydrogen-absorbing alloy, an electro-less copper plating has been carried out. The effects of the electro-less copper plating and the dynamic characteristics of the SMH actuator have been studied. The hydrogen equilibrium pressure increases and hydrogen is desorbed by heating the hydrogen-absorbing alloys, whereas by cooling the alloys, the hydrogen equilibrium pressure decreases and hydrogen is absorbed. Therefor, the SMH actuator has the characteristic of being light and easy to use and so is suitable for use in medical and rehabilitation applications.

최근에 인체 중심의 무선통신 기술에 대한 관심이 증가하면서 입을 수 있는 안테나에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 GPS 주파수를 수신할 수 있는 입을 수 있는 안테나를 제안하였다. 두께 0.7mm의 염소가죽을 유전체 기판으로 사용하고, 두께 0.08mm의 구리 폴리에스터 천을 방사체 및 접지판으로 사용하여 안테나를 제작하였다. 원형 편파 특성을 얻기 위해 정사각형의 패치에 대각선 방향에 놓인 모서리를 짤라서 방사체를 만들었고, 도전성 천과 가죽을 에폭시를 사용하여 접착하였다. 먼저 염소가죽의 유전율을 구하기 위해 크기가 다른 3개의 정사각형 패치 안테나를 만들고, 실험 및 시뮬레이션을 통해 염소가죽의 유전상수를 구하였다. 이것을 바탕으로 GPS 대역에서 동작하는 안테나를 설계하고, 제작하여 실험을 통해 안테나의 성능을 검증하였다. 옷의 어깨 부분에 설치하여, 사람이 입고 측정하여 특성의 변화를 실험하였고, 상용 세라믹 GPS 안테나와 수신 감도 특성을 비교하여 제작된 안테나가 비슷한 수준의 감도를 갖고 있음을 확인하였다.

신체 내 혈당 변화량과 $^1H$ 원자핵의 스핀-격자 완화시간의 변화량이 관련 있음과 원자핵의 스핀-격자 완화시간을 측정하는 방법으로 자기공명흡수법이 제안된 바 있다. 자기공병흡수법에 의하여 신체 내 혈당 변화량을 감지하기 위해서는 검출 영역내 고수준의 자기장의 세기와 균일도의 확보가 필수적이다. 가정에서 손쉽게 혈당의 변화량을 측정할 수 있도록, 본 논문에서는 가정용으로 적합한 크기와 무게를 가지면서 요구되는 자기장의 세기와 균일도를 확보한 무혈혈당측정기를 디자인하였다. 여러 형상과 재질을 갖는 초기 모델들을 설계, 제작하였고, 검출 영역의 자기 특성을 비교하여 최종 재질을 결정하였다. 또한, 유한요소 해석모델을 구축하고 형상 최적화를 통하여 최종 모델을 선정하였다.

Usability evaluation of physical products involves characterizing complex physical interactions between humans and products. Human models known as manikins have been widely utilized as usability evaluation tools for automobile interior package design. When combined with computer-aided design software programs, such manikins can be used to simulate driving postures and evaluate driver-interior fits early in the design process, and therefore, may greatly facilitate achieving high-quality design in a cost-efficient manner. The purpose of this study was to define a set of manikins for designing automobile interior packages for the South Korean male population. These manikins were conceptualized as "boundary" manikins, which represent individuals lacking in certain physical capacities or having usability-related issues (e.g., an individual with the 5th percentile forward reach capability, an individual with the 95th percentile shoulder width). Such boundary manikins can serve as an efficient tool for determining if an automobile interior design accommodates the majority of the population. The boundary manikins were selected from the large sample of Korean males whose anthropometric dimensions were described in the recent Size Korea anthropometric database. For each male in the database, his comfortable driving posture was represented using a kinematic body linkage model and various physical capacity measured and usability-related characteristics relevant to driver accommodation were evaluated. For each such measure, a boundary manikin was selected among the Korean males. The manikins defined in this study are expected to serve as tools for ergonomic design of automobile interior packages. The manikin selection method developed in this study was implemented as a generic software program useful for various product design applications.

As a mood-altering drug, long-term alcohol consumption have significant harmful effects on the human body and people's mental functioning. This study observed that the suppression of cell mediated immunity induced in spleen of ICR mouse by long-term alcohol administration. After 8% alcohol voluntary administered for 120 days, the splenic tissue irnmunohistochemically stained by following ABC method that used monoclonal antibody including L3T4(CD4), Ly-2(CD8), IL-2 receptor(CD25R) and NK-1.1(CD56) after embedding with paraffin. The results were as follows. 1. The size of marginal zone in splenic white pulp was diminished and the number of macrophage in marginal zone was decreased in test group than control group. 2. After alcohol administration, the number of Helper T lymphocyte, cytotoxic T lymphocyte, and IL-2 receptor were decreased in periarterial lymphatic sheaths of white pulp and penicilla artery of red pulp and the degree of CD4, CD8, and CD25R positive reaction were soften. 3. In test group, the number of NK cell were decreased. These results indicated that the secretion of lymphokine as IL-2 was inhibited by long-term alcohol administration and subsequently prevent to activate and proliferate splenic T lymphocytes and NK cells as cell mediated immunity component.

Functionally gradient porous $Al_2O_3-(t-ZrO_2)/HAp$ composites consist of 3 layers were fabricated using the multi-pass extrusion process at the various temperatures. The continuous pores were homogeneously formed in the $2^{nd}$ passed samples and their size was about $180{\mu}m$ in diameter. In the porous composites sintered at $1200-1400^{\circ}C$, the relative density and bending strength increased with the sintering temperature. The maximum values of relative density and bending strength in the $2^{nd}$ passed $Al_2O_3-(t-ZrO_2)/HAp$ composites were 62.2% and 107.8 MPa, respectively. In order to investigate the growth behavior of osteogenic cells on the functionally gradient porous $Al_2O_3-(t-ZrO_2)/HAp$ composites, an in vitro test was performed, using human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells. The cells were well attached and grown on the rough surface of the inside of the functionally gradient porous body.

생체인식(biometrics)은 인간이 갖는 신체적 특징을 활용하여 개인을 식별하는 연구로, 비밀번호나 ID카드 등의 전통적인 개인 식별 방법을 대체하거나 보완할 수 있는 방법으로 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 생체인식의 대상 중 손가락 관절문은 지문, 홍채, 귀, 장문에 비하여 비교적 최근에 연구가 시작되었다. 본 논문은 그레이디언트 방향 특징을 이용하여 손가락 관절문을 효과적으로 인식하는 방법을 제안한다. 손가락 관절문의 주요 특징은 주름의 크기와 방향으로, 이러한 특징을 안정적으로 획득하기 위하여 불균일한 조명과 낮은 대비를 개선하는 전처리를 수행한 후 그레이디언트의 방향 정보를 추출하여 특징벡터를 구성하였다. 제안된 방법의 성능을 측정하기 위하여 158명으로부터 획득한 총 790개 손가락 관절문 영상을 대상으로 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 99.69%의 인식률을 얻었으며, 기존 관련 연구에 비하여 1.882라는 높은 결정계수를 보여 제안된 방법이 손가락 관절문 인식에 효과적임을 확인하였다.

라돈가스는 암석이나 토양 등에 존재하는 자연 방사성 물질인 우라늄이 붕괴할 때 발생하는 무색, 무취, 무미의 가스이다. 인체가 연간 노출되는 방사선의 85%는 자연 방사선에 의한 것이고, 그 중 50%가 라돈가스이다. 미국 환경보호청(EPA)의 조사결과에 의하면, 라돈가스에 장시간 노출될 경우 흡연자는 1,000명 중 62명, 비흡연자는 1,000명 중 7명이 폐암 발병률에 노출된다. 이러한 라돈가스의 위해성을 저감하고자 활성탄소를 사용하여 경화체를 제작하여 그에 대한 공극 특성과 라돈가스 저감 특성에 대한 실험을 진행하였다. 활성탄소를 활용하였을 경우, 측정기간이 길어질수록 라돈가스 농도는 급격한 저감과 그래프 상의 변화를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 활성탄소의 재료적 특성 중 하나인 공극 분포와 미세공 특성을 파악할 수 있다.

This study compares the net effect of wearing different shoulder/arm armor systems on garment impediment perception and wearer acceptability. Two independent variables in this study were armor systems and shoulder/ arm movements. There were four armor systems of control garment and arm armor systems A, B, and C as well as five types of arm/shoulder movements, (shoulder flexion, should extension, shoulder abduction, shoulder horizontal flexion, and shoulder horizontal extension). Ten male volunteers wearing size medium battle dress uniform (BDU) with recent relevant military experience participated in this study. The volunteers performed shoulder/arm movements (while wearing each armor treatments) and completed the garment impediment perception as well as wearer acceptability scales. The body areas of neck side, shoulder top, and armscye front showed the highest frequency of reported impediments. Resistance to movement and localized pressure were the most frequently mentioned types of impediment. The armor system B had the most areas of impediment, and was rated as more restrictive than the control garment and armor system A for each movement. For wearer acceptability, no significant differences were found between the control garment and armor system A for all eight items; this indicated that subjects did not perceive a difference between wearing the control garment and armor system A. There was a trend for wearer acceptability to decrease from wearing the control garment to armor systems A to C to B.
