Bilateral abducens nerve palsy related to ruptured aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery (ACoA) has only been reported in four patients. Three cases were treated by surgical clipping. No report has described the clinical course of the isolated bilateral abducens nerve palsy following ruptured ACoA aneurysm obliterated with coil. A 32-year-old man was transferred to our institution after three days of diplopia, dizziness and headache after the onset of a 5-minute generalized tonic-clonic seizure. Computed tomographic angiography revealed an aneurysm of the ACoA. Magnetic resonance imaging showed focal intraventricular hemorrhage without brain stem abnormalities including infarction or space-occupying lesion. Endovascular coil embolization was conducted to obliterate an aneurysmal sac followed by lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage. Bilateral paresis of abducens nerve completely recovered 9 weeks after ictus. In conclusion, isolated bilateral abducens nerve palsy associated with ruptured ACoA aneurysm may be resolved successfully by coil embolization and lumbar CSF drainage without directly relieving cerebrospinal fluid pressure by opening Lillequist's membrane and prepontine cistern.

Twenty-eight clinical isolates of Escherichia coil, composed of thirteen norfloxacin resistant isolates (MIC of >16${\mu}$g/ml), one intermediately resistant isolate (MIC of 8${\mu}$g/ml), and fourteen susceptible isolates (MIC of <4${\mu}$g/ml), were randomly selected to study the norfloxacin resistance mechanism and phylogeny in clinical isolates in Korea. Eleven nofloxacin resistant isolates and one susceptible isolate were multi-drug resistant (MDR). Every norfloxacin resistant isolate with MIC higher than 32${\mu}$g/ml had the same three mutations: Ser83\longrightarrowLeu and Asp87\longrightarrowAsn or Tyr in GyrA and Ser80\longrightarrowIle in ParC. Whereas a resistant isolate with MIC of 16${\mu}$g/ml had three mutations but Asp87 in GyrA was replaced with Gly instead of Asn. The intermediately resistant isolate had the same two mutations in GyrA but a different mutation in ParC, Glu84\longrightarrowLys. Among the susceptible isolates, two isolates with MIC of 4${\mu}$g/ml had one mutation: Ser83\longrightarrowiLeu in GyrA, and no mutation was found in the susceptible isolates. Resistant isolates showed higher efflux activity than the susceptible ones, with random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD), six susceptible isolates form a separate group from the rest of the isolates.

The miniaturization of the Air Handling Unit (AHU) has become an actual need because of the restriction of the using space on the vessel. In modern AHU’s construction, in which the fan section is at the end part of the ship, it’s very difficult to select a suitable capacity of evaporators, because the fan motor emits heat. Thus, the AHU structure has been changed as the fan section has been set before the cooling coil to get temperature values similar to the designed amount. Also, the air guider is installed in order to maintain equal air distribution after it passed the fan section. So, it is possible for air to equally pass the cooling coil. It is investigated three different geometries to find the best performance. Also, It is compared with the numerical and experimental results. The study found the case 3 gives the best results. The results of this study show the possible application of the new design.

A mechanical type pulsation dampener for the diaphragm metering pump has been developed. The pulsation pressure is an inevitable phenomenon for the positive displacement pump such as cam operated or solenoid operated metering pump. The pulsation pressure of the metering pump could be the noise source and would be harmful for the piping system which delivers hydraulic fluid. Developed pulsation dampener consists of three coil springs which have different spring constant and height each other. Depending on pressure magnitude of the piping system, total hydraulic pressure on damping diaphragm which compresses coil springs will be varied. Force equilibrium of the pulsation dampener will be set by manual by adjusting the compressed coil spring height. During the discharge stroke, pulsation dampener stores potential energy that is released as the pumping diaphragm back to an initial position during the suction stroke.

This paper deals with artificial neural network approach for automatic detection of severity level of stator winding fault in induction motor. The problem is faced through modelling and simulation of induction motor with inter coil shorting in stator winding. The sum of the absolute values of difference in the peak values of phase currents from each half cycle has been chosen as the main input to the classifier. Sample values from workspace of Simulink model, which are verified with experiment setup practically, have been imported to neural network architecture. Consideration of a single input extracted from time domain simplifies and advances the fault detection technique. The output of the feed forward back propagation neural network classifies the short circuit fault level of the stator winding.

We have demonstrated that the cylindrical micelles self-assembled from coil-rod-coil molecules can be interconnected by addition of a small amount of rod-coil-rod molecule as a bridging agent. Subsequently, these dynamic interconnections lead to stiff bundles composed of cylindrical micelles that are responsible for the formation of a reversible nematic gel. The results described here represent a significant example that dynamic bridging of supramolecular cylinders in aqueous solution can provide a useful strategy to construct one-dimensional nematic structure with three dimensional elastic properties.

This paper presents a new nonmechanical rehabilitation system driven by magnetic force. Typically, finger rehabilitation mechanisms are complex mechanical systems. The proposed method allows wireless operation, a simple configuration, and easy installation on the hand for active actuation by magnetic force. The system consists of a driving coil, driving magnets (M1), and auxiliary magnets (M2 and M3), respectively, at the finger, palm, and the center of coil. The magnets and the driving coil produce three magnetic forces for an active motions of the finger. During active actuations, magnetic attractive forces between M1 and M2 or between M1 and M3 enhance the flexion/extension motions. The proposed system simply improves the extension motion of the finger using a magnetic system. In this system, the maximum force and angular variation of the extension motion were 0.438 N and $49^{\circ}$, respectively. We analyzed the magnetic interaction in the system and verified finger's active actuation.

In this paper, application of NN (Neural Network) as a method of pattern discrimination of PD(partial discharge) which occurs at the stator coil of traction motor was studied. For PD data acquisition, three defective models are manufactured such as internal discharge model, slot discharge model and surface discharge model. PD data for recognition were acquired from PD detector and DAQ board which is able to analysis the PD signal and perform the pattern discrimination. Statistical distributions and parameters are calculated to discriminate PD sources. And also these statistical distribution parameters are applied to classify PD sources by BP and has good recognition rate on the discharge sources.

Middle cerebral artery (MCA) fusiform aneurysms often have an unfavorable geometry that may limit surgical or endovascular treatment. Herein, we present a case of a fusiform aneurysm of the proximal MCA, which was successfully treated using stent-assisted coil embolization. A 42-year-old man presented with repeated headache and syncope. Five years earlier, a right MCA aneurysm had been treated by aneurismal wrapping. Magnetic resonance images (MRI) revealed a partially-thrombosed proximal MCA aneurysm at the right perisylvian region. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) revealed a multilobulated fusiform-shaped aneurysm. The patient underwent stent-assisted coil embolization under general anesthesia and symptoms resolved postoperatively. A three-month follow-up angiography revealed no recanalization of the aneurysm and indicated tolerable blood flow through the right MCA, as compared to the preoperative angiography. We suggest that in selected patients, stent-assisted coil embolization of proximal MCA fusiform aneurysms can be an effective treatment modality.

In this paper, we investigated the variations of initial fault current limiting instant according to fault angles in the flux-lock type SFCL. The flux-lock type SFCL consists of the coil 1 and the coil 2 that are wound in parallel each other through an iron core. The operation of the flux-lock type SFCL can be divided into the subtractive polarity winding and the additive polarity winding operations according to the winding directions between the coil 1 and coil 2. The subtractive polarity winding operation could be analyzed with three modes. On the other hand, the additive polarity winding operation could be analyzed with five modes. The variations of initial fault current limiting instant in two winding directions were dependent on the fault angles. It was confirmed from experiment that the fault current limiting instant was getting faster and the magnitude of fault current at the initial fault time was getting higher for higher fault angle.
