The adhesive-tape of a liquid leak film sensor including the alarm system is developed. The sensing film is composed of three layers such as base film layer, conductive line layer, and protection film layer. The thickness of film is 300~500 um, the width is 3.55 cm, and the unit length is 200 m. On the conductive line layer, three conducting lines and one resistive line are formulated by the electronic printing method with a conducting ink of silver-nano size. When a liquid leaks for the electricity to be conducted between the conductive line and the resistive line, the position of leakage is monitored by measuring the voltage varied according to the change of resistance between two lines. The error range of sensing position of 200 m film sensor is ${\pm}1m$.

Objectives : The warm needling technique is a combination of acupuncture and moxibustion. The purpose of this study was to find the physical and thermal characteristics in order to identify the effects and mechanisms of the warm needling technique. Methods : In this study, the thermal changes were observed with a testo 845 device, which is an infra-red thermometer specifically designed for measuring a combustion of corn shaped moxibustion(moxa-corn). The thermal changes at the apex of the moxa-corn placed on the top of the an acupuncture were observed at the level of 1 cm and 2 cm from the apex to understand heat conduction through acupuncture needle for combustion of moxa-corn. Results and Conclusions : The thermal conduction through acupuncture needle from the moxa-corn was relative to the weight of moxa-corn and was inversely relative to the distance of the moxa-corn and acupuncture needle length. And the value of thermal conduction to the apex of the acupuncture needle from the moxa-corn was about $3{\sim}5^{\circ}C$. The above results suggest that the present study may be useful in finding the mechanism and effects of the warming needling technique.

Scanogram is that combine several practical images into one image to observation. So it is an important consideration in many clinical situation such as iliac measurement, leg alignment measurement and Scoliosis. Currently, scanogram examinations are mainly conducted for children and elderly patients. In this study, in order to apply the longbone detector to children or elderly patients who are difficult to cooperate with, we compared the longbone detector from D equipment with the G equipment discovery 656 Puls equipment in reproducibility of images, distribution of irradiation dose, scattering dose, irradiation time and image acquisition time. D equipment took more than twice as much time as G equipment. The scattered dose generated about 50% more G equipment than D equipment. In the whole spine scanogram and the measurement length of the lower leg, D equipment was also measured longer than G equipment. However, both methods did not show much difference from the CT scanogram, so there was no problem in measurement. The height of the thyroid radiation dose of G equipment was produced more radiation than D equipment. However, the longbone detector deviated from the x-ray center line relative to the tube rotation method, and was measured lower by the directionality of the measuring instrument, so that the error could not be corrected. In the conclusion of study, using the longbone detector is excellent for applying to children or elderly patients to reduce scattering dose. However, using CR may be useful to normal patients. Because, the image quality may deteriorate due to an imbalance of dose difference in thickness depending on the body part. So, it is useful to using a compensation filter or tube rotation method when we take a whole spine scanogram.

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of high-heeled shoes on walking of obese women as it was already proven an extrinsic factor of knee osteoarthritis in women with normal weight. In this study the aimed therefore in particular was to utilize high-heeled shoes in proving it's causal influence on knee osteoarthritis by measuring the angle and torque of the knee joint. Fifteen obese women (BMI>25 $kg/m^2$) were measured in their twenties. Each angle and torque of their knee joints during walking on 6.5 cm high-heeled shoes and with a bare feet, were compared with each other and analyzed with a 3D motion analysis system. There was no significant difference in walking speed, cadence and stride length between the two conditions. However, there was a significant increase in a double limb support time and the stance phase when walking on high-heeled shoes as when walking with bare feet. The peak knee flexion angle and peak knee varus torque was higher when walking on high-heeled shoes than with bare feet. On the contrary, the peak knee flexion angle in the swing phase was not statistically different. The prolongation of peak knee varus torque was also proven. There was a significant increase in peak knee varus torque in the initial and last stance phases during walking on high-heeled shoes as compared to walking on bare feet. Through the above results, it was proven that when obese women walked on high-heeled shoes, rather than with bare feet, peak knee flexor and varus torque increased along with the changes of the in knee joint angle. Therefore, the influence of high-heeled shoes might be a significant intrinsic factor in knee osteoarthritis of obese women.

In this study, we prepared reference data needed for clothing design for middle-aged women by analyzing body satisfaction of their body shape, which had been classified by collecting body features of middle-aged women. As for the study method, we have set five scales from 'never satisfied' to 'very much satisfied,' after analyzing body features of middle-aged women by measuring their body shape through the body meter and auxiliary tools. We used the SPSS 12.0 statistics program, and the results are the following: Body shapes of middle-aged women can be classified into the following four types. A middle-age women with an 'A silhouette' has a normal height, but fat nether limbs. A 'Y silhouette' is short with a fat upper body. The 'O silhouette' is short with fat nether limbs and upper body, and 'H silhouette' is tall and thin. Body shape I has displayed satisfaction with her own body shape, and body shape II showed the most dissatisfaction compared to other body shapes. Body shape III showed satisfaction on all items except face size and breast size, whereas body shape IV was dissatisfied with her face size, neck length, shape of her breast, waist, and buttocks. The result of this study is expected to contribute in accomplishing clothing production that will satisfy the desire of the consumers in the clothing business, while being utilized as the basic data for clothing design that fits their body shape by grasping the changing patterns of their body shape.

In this research, the application of ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) test as a nondestructive method for estimating some of the mechanical and dynamic properties of reactive powder concrete (RPC) containing steel and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers, as well as their combination was explored. In doing so, ten different mix designs were prepared in 19 experimental groups of specimens containing three different volume contents of steel fibers (i.e., 1, 2, and 3 %) and PVA fibers (i.e., 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 %), as well as hybrid fibers (i.e., 0.25-0.75, 0.5-0.5, and 0.75-0.25 %). The specimens in these groups were prepared under the two curing regimes of normal and heat treatment. Moreover, the UPV test results were employed to estimate the compressive strength, dynamic modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson's ratio of the RPC concrete and to investigate the quality level of the used concrete. At the end, the effect of the specimen shape and in fact the measuring distance length on the UPV results was explored. The results of this research suggest that the steel fiber-containing RPC specimens demonstrate the highest level of ultrasonic pulse velocity as well as the highest values of the mechanical and dynamic properties. Moreover, heat treatment has a positive effect on the density, UPV, dynamic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and compressive strength of the RPC specimens, whereas it leads to a negligible increase or decrease in the shear modulus and static modulus of elasticity. Furthermore, the specimen shape affects the UPV of fiber-lacking specimens while negligibly affecting that of fiber-reinforced specimens.

In this study, the characteristics of the structure of buried type capacitor for RF multi- chip-module are investigated. We developed many kinds of structures to minimize the space of capacitor in module and the value of parastic series inductance without any loss in capacitance, and in this procedure the effect of vias especially position, size, number length are analyzed and optimized. This characteristics of structures are checked through HFSS(high frequency structure simulator) of HP, and the value of parastic series inductance is calculated by equivalent circuit analysis. And ensuing the result of simulation, we made buried type capacitors using LTCC (low temperature cofired ceramic) material. In measurement of this sample, we found out the effective and precise method can be applied to buried type and characteristics of vias and striplines added for measuring are quantified.

With 3-D vision measuring, camera calibration is necessary to calculate parameters accurately. Camera calibration was developed widely in two categories. The first establishes reference points in space, and the second uses a grid type frame and statistical method. But, the former has difficulty to setup reference points and the latter has low accuracy. In this paper we present an algorithm for camera calibration using perspective ratio of the grid type frame with different line widths. It can easily estimate camera calibration parameters such as focal length, scale factor, pose, orientations, and distance. But, radial lens distortion is not modeled. The advantage of this algorithm is that it can estimate the distance of the object. Also, the proposed camera calibration method is possible estimate distance in dynamic environment such as autonomous navigation. To validate proposed method, we set up the experiments with a frame on rotator at a distance of 1,2,3,4[m] from camera and rotate the frame from -60 to 60 degrees. Both computer simulation and real data have been used to test the proposed method and very good results have been obtained. We have investigated the distance error affected by scale factor or different line widths and experimentally found an average scale factor that includes the least distance error with each image. It advances camera calibration one more step from static environments to real world such as autonomous land vehicle use.

A LVDT is an electromechanical transducer that produces an electrical output proportional to the displacement of separate movable core. A convential LVDT in construction has a disadvantage which the measurement range to the length ratio is small. This paper proposed a new type LVDT, which improved methodes of construction. The proposed LVDT and a conventional LVDT with the same dimension are simulated by FEM. In the process of the simulation and construction, the performance of two type LVDTs are evaluated. Linearity error of a conventional LVDT was ${\pm}3\;%$ in measuring range of ${\pm}5\;mm$ and linearity error of the proposed LVDT was ${\pm}0.5\;%$ in the same range. It was evident from the theoritical relationships and the experimental results that the proposed LVDT has been better performance than a convential type.

In school mathematics, gakdo(korean, ie angular measure in english) lost effectiveness as a term, on the other hand, an expression gak-ui-kugi(korean, ie size of angle in english) is prevalent these days. So it is necessary to accept this expression. It is necessary to specify in textbook that the size of angle rely on the degree of gap between two edges regardless of the length of edges. The content of curriculum manual and the content of textbooks must be reconciled. Random units for measuring the size of angle are not contained in textbooks. It can be possible, but it is not carried out actually. So, it is necessary not to require it in curriculum manual considering this circumstance. In curriculum manual, it is necessary to specify the role of 1-right angle as a standard unit, and situations to use it must be presented in textbooks. In cut-paste method of finding the sum of the size of three angles in a triangle and the sum of the size of four angles in a quadrilateral, keeping a straight angle and one rotation in mind, an explanation is based upon a premise that students know how to express the $180{^{\circ}}$ and $360{^{\circ}}$ in figure as a result. It is a leap of logic.
