Recently, there has been a gradual increase in the number of people who are interested in cycling, leading to an increasing number of cycling equipment consumers. However, many bicyclists get hurt because of their lack of knowledge about the right size of bicycle for their body. Although it is necessary for a rider to fit their bicycle to prevent injury, they reject a fitting service because of the long hours and high cost. In this study, we propose a bicycle fitting system that uses a depth camera to improve the limitations of existing manual fitting systems. With the defined formula, the system calculates the size of the bicycle using body image information extracted by a depth camera and visualizes a customized bicycle for a specific consumer. This system will not only save the customer time and money, but will prevent injury from the use of a bicycle that does not fit.

The purpose of this work is to develop the FES controller that can cope with the muscle fatigue which is one of the most important problems of current FES (Functional Electrical Stimulation). The feasibility of the proposed FES controller was evaluated by simulation. We used a fitness function to describe the effect of muscle fatigue and recovery process. The FES control system was developed based on the biological neuronal system. Specifically, we used PD (Proportional and Derivative) and GC (Gravity Compensation) control, which was described by the neuronal feedback structure. It was possible to control of multiple joints and muscles by using the phase-based PD and GC control method and the static optimization. As a result, the proposed FES control system could maintain the cycling motion in spite of the muscle fatigue. It is expected that the proposed FES controller will play an important role in the rehabilitation of SCI patient.

The natural frequency shift under cyclic environmental loads is a key issue in the design of monopile-based offshore wind power turbines because of their dynamic sensitivity. Existing evidence reveals that the natural frequency shift of the turbine system in sand is related to the varying foundation stiffness, which is caused by soil deformation around the monopile under cyclic loads. Therefore, it is an urgent need to investigate the effect of soil deformation on the system frequency. In the present paper, three generalized geometric models that can describe soil deformation under two-way cyclic loads are proposed. On this basis, the cycling-induced changes in soil parameters around the monopile are quantified. A theoretical approach considering three-spring foundation stiffness is employed to calculate the natural frequency during cycling. Further, a parametric study is conducted to describe and evaluate the frequency shift characteristics of the system under different conditions of sand relative density, pile slenderness ratio and pile-soil relative stiffness. The results indicate that the frequency shift trends are mainly affected by the pile-soil relative stiffness. Following the relevant conclusions, a design optimization is proposed to avoid resonance of the monopile-based wind turbines during their service life.

본 연구의 목적은 두 가지 실험용 소수성 상아질 접착제와 전통적인 3-step 상아질 접착제의 nanoleakage 양상을 load cycling 전, 후에 비교하여 상아질 접착제의 내구성을 예측해 보고자 하는 것이다. 두 가지 실험용 소수성 상아질 접착제 즉, 에탄을 포함 상아질 접착제, 메탄을 포함 상아질 접착제를 만들었다. 대구치 30개의 치관부 3분의 1을 절단하고 임의로 3군으로 나누어 각각 Scotchbond Multi-Purpose (3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA), 에탄올 포함 상아질 접착제 및 메탄을 포함 상아질 접착제를 사용하여 상아질 접착 후, 복합레진으로 치관부를 수복하였다. 각각의 접착 시스템을 Load cycling 여부에 따라 두 군으로 나누고 각각의 치아를 접착 계면에 수직으로, 약 2.0 mm의 두께가 되도록 절단하여 치아마다 2개의 시편을 얻어 각 군 당10개의 시편을 얻었다. 시편을 50 % ammoniacal silver nitrate를 이용하여 염색한 후 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 혼성층의 nanoleakage를 관찰하였다. 은 침착의 분포는 image analysis software (Scion Image Beta 4.03, Scion Corp., Frederick, MD, USA)를 이용하여 gray value로 계산하였고 이 원분산 분석법으로 통계처리 하였다. 3종의 상아질 접착제에서 모두 nanoleakage가 관찰되었으나, 에탄올 포함 상아질 접착제와 메탄을 포함 상아질 접착제에서 Scotchbond Multi-Purpose 보다 적은 양의 nanoleakage 가 관찰되었다 (p < .0001). 각각의 상아질 접착제에서 load cycling에 따른 nanoleakage 양상의 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 이상의 결과에서 친수성기를 줄이고 소수성기를 극대화 한 실험용 상아질 접착제가 접착 계면의 내구성 향상에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

We proposed a new system for the postural balance rehabilitation training. For the purpose, we used the virtual hiking system using virtual reality technology. We evaluated the system by measuring the parameters such as path deviation, path deviation velocity, cycling time, and head movement. From our results, we verified the usefulness of virtual reality technology in rehabilitation. Our results showed that this system was effective postural balance rehabilitation training device and might be useful as the clinical equipment.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the marginal sealing ability of "Silar". Using freshly extracted human teeth and 2% acquous methylene blue, the marginal leakage of dye in restorative materials such as Silar, Silar with acid etching technique, Hi-Pol, Hi-Pol Enamel Bond system, Adaptic and Amalgam were investigated at $37^{\circ}C$ and under temperature cycling in range of $4^{\circ}C-60^{\circ}C$. The results as follows; 1. All filling materials showed some degree of marginal penetration by 2% methylene blue dye. 2. Silar with acid etching technique revealed effective marginal sealing ability, but under temperature cycling it showed increased marginal leakage. 3. All composite resins showed greater marginal leakage than amalgam restoration. 4. Silar had the most effective marginal sealing ability in experimented composite resins.

One of the most important objectives of the schedules in a container terminal is to minimize the ship operation time, which consists of discharging and loading operation times. Recently, dual cycling techniques have been used for improving terminal operations, especially for reducing the total empty trips of handling equipment. The main focus of this study is to reduce the empty trip times of yard trucks with minimum delays for ship operations. A heuristic algorithm, modified from a previous algorithm, is proposed to solve this problem. A simulation study is conducted to evaluate the effect of different types of discharging and loading schedules and different locating methods for discharging containers in terms of the performance of the system, including the percentage of the dual cycle operations of yard trucks.

Redox cycling in between the two working electrodes in an electrochemical cell can lead a great signal enhancement. In this work, we report on a systematic examination of current amplification along with the decrease in the gap distance of a nanogap device which was fabricated by the combination of photo and chemical lithography [1]. The gap distance was controlled by the chemical lithographic process of surfacecatalyzed growth of metallic layer on pre-defined electrodes with wider initial gap. Enhancement of the redox current of ferri/ferrocyanide was observed upon gap distance reduction and the current is amplified about a thousand times in this redox system when the gap distance was decreased from 200 nm to 30 nm. The experimental results were discussed on the basis of the cyclic voltammetry (CV), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
