장염비브리오균의 숙주 내 감염을 일으키는 기작을 이해하기 위하여 세포외 효소 중의 하나인 콜라겐분해효소의 유전자가 불활성화된 돌연변이체를 제작하였다. 콜라겐분해효소의 유전자인 vppC 유전자에 항생제 내성 유전자인 nptII를 삽입하여 제작된 재조합 DNA를 suicide vector인 pDMS197에 클로닝하여 pVCM03이라 명명하였다. 재조합 suicide 플라스미드 pVCM03을 E. coli 7213에 형질전환하여 접합을 통하여 원 균주인 V. varahaemolyticus 04에 전달하였다. 전달된 pVCM03 유래의 재조합 vvpC::npfII DNA는 homologous recombination에 의해 wild-type allele와 교환되어 돌연변이체를 형성하게 되고, 돌연변이체는 10% sucrose가 함유된 TCBS 배지에서 선별되었다. Allele exchange는 PCR에 의한 증폭된 DNA의 크기 비교로 확인하였다. 돌연변이체인 V. parahaemolyticus CM은 원 균주와 비교하였을 때 약 4배정도 낮은 콜라겐 분해 활성을 나타내었고, vero cell을 이용한 MTT assay에서도 원 균주에 비하여 낮은 세포독성을 보였다.

This paper presents one-axis high precision scanning system and illustrates the design of modified $X-Y-{\theta}$ stage as a tracker using VCM and commercialized air bearings for it. The scanning system for 100nm resolution is composed of the 3-axis stage and one axis long stroke linear motor stage as a follower. In this study a previous proposed and presented structure of VCM for the fine stage is modified. The tracker has 3 DOF($X-Y-{\theta}$ motions by four VCM actuators which are located on the same plane. So 4 actuating forces are suggested and designed to create least pitch and roll motions. This article will show about the design especially about optimal design. The design focus of this fine stage is to have high acceleration to accomplish high throughput. The optimal design of maximizing acceleration is performed in restrained size. The most sensitive constraint of this optimal design is heat dissipation of coil. There are 5 design variables. Because the relationship between design variables and system parameters are quite complicated, it is very difficult to set design variables manually. Due to it, computer based optimal design procedure using MATLAB is used. Then, this paper also describes the procedures of selecting design variables for the optimal design and a mathematical formulation of the optimization problem. Based on the solution of the optimization problem, the final design of the stage is also presented. The results can be verified by MAXWELL. The designed stage has the acceleration of about 5 $m/s^{2}$ with 40kg total mass including wafer chuck and interferometer mirror. And the temperature of coil is increased $50^{\circ}C$. In addition, the tracker is controlled by high precision controller system with HP interferometer for it and linear scaler for the follower. At that time, the scanning system has high precision resolution about 5nm and scanning resolution about 40nm in 25mm/s constant speed

This study was carried out to assess worker exposure to vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) and to present control measures in the factories processing and producing polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin. The conclusion remarks are as follows. Only two personal samples in the factory ("E") processing polyvinyl chloride resin were analysed to be 27.6 ppm and 12.6 ppm, respectively. But, these concentration exceed 1 ppm, Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) of OSHA. So, worker's exposure to VCM at "E" factory should be reevaluated. In "A", "B" and "C" factory producing polyvinyl chloride resin, the average worker's exposures to VCM were 0.12 ppm, 0.86 ppm and 1.23 ppm, respectivery. Worker exposure to VCM at distillation and dry process was higer than other processes at "A" factory. The average exposure concentration of worker at polymerization process of "B" and "C" factory was 1.23 ppm, and 1.46 ppm respcetively. These concentration exceed 1 ppm, Permissible Exposure Limits of OSHA. Control room of "B" and "C" factory had 0.91 ppm and 0.65 ppm of worker's exposure concentration respectively. "A" factory was evaluated to be "acceptable", but "B" and "C" factories were evaluated to be "not acceptable", by the workplace exposure assessment program of AIHA. Process other than bagging and control room of "A" factory was evaluated to "not acceptable". Immediate correction measures for preventing workers from exposure to VCM should be performed in the factories or process that were evaluated to be "not acceptable". After these control measures are taken, worker exposure to VCM must be reevaluated through personal air monitoring. Control measures presented by this study are complete sealing of connecting pipe lines, flanging, packing, bolting and nutting. Periodic leak test for leak parts is also required. And positive pressure facility should be constructed at control room of "B" and "C" factory. Fresh air through cleaner such as HEPA filter should be supplied to control room. In addition to these control measures, periodic personal monitoring for evaluating worker exposure to VCM should be performed.

Vinyl chloride monomer exists as gas phase at normal temperature and reacts with oxygen and strong oxidant in the air to form oxidized materials. Because of being easily synthesized, it is used as a main source at the synthetic reaction process of PVC synthesis factories. Ministry of Labor regulates its usage as a carcinogen and its exposure level as 1 ppm. But the amount of VCM production in PVC and VCM production process hasn't been exactly estimated. In addition, facilities of this factory are located in outdoor. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate effects of temperature on breakthrough of charcoal tube at a fixed concentration and temperature during VCM sampling based on NIOSH and OSHA methods which were used as methods of occupational environment measuring and analysis. During the sampling of VCM, methods of OSHA and NIOSH require flow rate of 0.05 lpm and sampling volume of $3{\ell}$, $5{\ell}$ respectively, at this time carbon molecular sieve tube and coconut shell charcoal tube are used to observe the breakthrough along with concentration and temperature. As a result, significant difference between average adsorbed amounts of OSHA methods but that of NIOSH methods cannot be found. NIOSH method is likely to be effected by high temperature and normal temperature in high concentration. Breakthrough is not found in the method of OSHA at different conditions of temperature and concentration. As the result of this study we could verify that breakthrough occurred in the process of sampling VCM with NIOSH methods. Therefor in summer time, breakthrough should be considered and research on the breakthrough volume should be done. It is considered the research about the specificity of the coconut shell charcoal and carbon molecular sieve sorbent should be done when sampling VCM in comming days.

VCM 강판은 용융아연도금강판 위에 PET/PVC 코팅하여 가전제품의 외판 소재로 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 VCM 강판의 프레스 성형 중 발생하는 PET 코팅층의 찢김을 저감하기 위해 프레스 성형공정변수를 재설계하였다. 프레스 공정변수들이 PET 코팅층의 찢김에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. PET 코팅의 찢김 현상은 드로잉 성형시 제품의 코너부 소재두께의 증가로 인해 금형과 소재 사이의 과도한 마찰에 의해 발생한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 블랭크 형상의 변경을 통해 드로잉성형시 코너부의 소재두께 증가를 저감하였으며, 트리밍 공정시 플랜지부의 과도한 두께 증가부분을 제거하여 플랜지 성형시 소재두께가 금형간극 이하로 분포하도록 하였다. 또한 성형실험과 유한요소해석을 통해 재설계된 공정변수들을 검증하였다. 이를 통해 PET 코팅의 찢김이 없는 양호한 최종제품의 성형이 가능함을 확인하였다.

Various types of latch designs for hard disk drives using load/unload mechanism have been introduced to protect undesired release motions of a voice coil motor(VCM) actuator from sudden disturbances. Recently, various inertia-type latches have been widely used because locking performance is better than that of other types of latch. However there has been a limit in the inertia type in order to guarantee perfect latch and unlatch operations because of changes in latch/unlatch conditions due to mechanical tolerance and temperature-dependent friction. In this paper, a reliable and robust magnetic latch mechanism is proposed through only simple modifications of coil and yoke shapes in order to overcome the mechanical limit of current inertia-type latches. This new magnetic latch does not have only a simple structure but it also ensures reliable operations and anti-shock performance. The operating mechanism of the proposed latch is theoretically analyzed and optimally designed using an electromagnetic simulation.

Recently, strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with reduced susceptibility to vancomycin (VCM) have been clinically isolated. The antibacterial activity of a new drug, linezolid (LZD), in such a strain was evaluated by measuring bacterial metabolic activity. A total of 73 MRSA strains having various susceptibilities to VCM were subjected to a novel and highly sensitive chemiluminescence-based assay. LZD MIC in the tested strains, measured by the microbroth dilution method, was within the range 1-4 mg/l (mostly ${\leq}2$mg/l), except for one LZD-resistant strain (NRS127; MIC=7 mg/l), and showed no correlation with VCM resistance. The chemiluminescence assay demonstrated that bacterial metabolic activity was strongly suppressed with increasing LZD concentration. The chemiluminescence intensity curve had a low baseline activity without tailing in most strains. The present results suggest that LZD has strong antibacterial activity against MRSA strains, and would be effective for treatment of infections that are poorly responsive to VCM. The chemiluminescence assay facilitated sensitive and discriminative susceptibility testing within a relatively short time.

This paper presents a small loading and positioning device using VCM (voice coil motor). The developed device consists of a VCM-based linear actuating system, a capacitance displacement sensor and a cantilever deflection sensing system. The trust force of the VCM proportional to applied current moves the column supported on two pairs of parallel leaf springs. The infinitesimal displacement of moved column is detected by capacitance displacement sensor with a resolution of 0.1nm and a repeatability of 1nm. Also, a micro cantilever with known stiffness (200N/m), which is mounted on the end of the column, is used as a force sensor to detect the load applied to a specimen. After the cantilever contacts with the specimen, the deflection of cantilever and the load applied to the specimen are measured by using an optical lever system which consists of a diode laser, a mirror and a PSD (position sensitive detector). In this paper, an experimental system was constructed and its actuator and sensing parts were tested and calibrated. Also, the constructed system was applied to the indentation experiment and the load-displacement curve of aluminum was obtained. Experimental results showed that the developed device can be applied for performing nano indentation.

Recently the trends in information storage devices need small size, mobility, high capacity, and low power consumption etc. To satisfy those, the development of high performance actuator is an important issue. Compared with general linear actuator for optical disk drive, swingarm type rotary actuator is suitable to design in small form factor and has fast access time for random access. Swingarm actuator is designed considering the structural problem and the actuating force of VCM(Voice Coil Motor). The increase of mass caused by optical components makes vibration problems of swing-arm, therefore resonance frequency should be increased and inertia has to be reduced. ANSYS FEM tool is employed in optimizing swingarm. The VCM is designed using 3-D electro-magnetic analysis, and parameters of magnetic circuit are determined to matte large flux density. The large flux density enables to achieve low power consumption. VCM holder is designed to get the mass balance of total actuator and this balance reduces the magnitude of critical mode relative to pivot bearing, It is expected that swingarm type rotary actuator designed by this method is available to variable type of micro optical disk drives.
