Communication device to use slight movement for serious disabled is proposed. This device is developed mainly for patients suffering from ALS or a cerebral infarction. They often have communication difficulty because of deterioration of muscular functions. Features of this device are that the device is wearable on the user’s body and that it detects the movement of eyebrow. Because of these features, it is quite easy to install the sensor on the patient’s body, not like the conventional sensors. Furthermore, an adaptive communication software is incorporated. A feature of this software is that the arrangement and size of the button and window on the display can be optimized depending on the user's physical ability. In the field test it is confirmed that the communication device developed in this study is successfully helped the people with disability for increasing their communication ability.

The demand for flexible devices including solar cells, memories and batteries has increased rapidly over the past decades. In most flexible devices, polymer-based materials are used to enable the mechanical deformations such as bending or folding. Shape Memory Polymers (SMPs) is a high molecular compound polymer with flexibility and shape recovery characteristics. In this work, flexible shape memory device was fabricated by simply coating the conducting material, carbon nano-tube (CNT), on a shape memory polymer. Furthermore, durability of the device under various type of mechanical deformations was assessed. It is believed that the result of this work will aid in realization of a stretchable and wearable electronic device for practical applications.

PACS의 도입에 발맞추어 시작된 digital 의료영상은 현재 방사선 진단 및 치료 영역에서 일반화되었으며 특히 진단영역에서는 눈부신 발전을 거듭하고 있다. 치료영역에서의 digital image 구현은 상대적으로 느린 성장과정을 거쳐 오늘에 이르고 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 analog에서 digital로 변화하는 흐름을 인식하여 정도관리(Quality Assurance) 업무 중 mechanical check 부분을 digital image base 업무로 대체하여 수행하고, 기존의 육면체 또는 사각형틀의 개념을 탈피한 구형(球形)의 Spherical mechanical check device(SMCD) 고안하여 그 실용성을 실험하였다. Source(target)에서 image detecter 간의 거리가 항상 일정하고, Spherical mechanical check device(SMCD)의 중심까지 거리가 일정하다면 어느 방향에서 SMCD를 exposure하더라도 그 크기는 항상 일정하게 영상으로 표현 될 것이다. 이를 위해 정확한 반구(半球)를 2개 정밀 제작하여 그것을 합쳤을 때 정원(正圓)의 구(球)가 되도록 하였다. 이를 이용하여 radiation field와 light field의 일치도, radiation field 크기의 정확도($(5{\times}5,\;10{\times}10,\;15{\times}15\;cm)$), Collimator field 크기의 정확도($5{\times}5,\;10{\times}10,\;15{\times}15\;cm$), Gantry rotation isocenter check, Collimator rotation isocenter check, Room laser accuracy check, Collimator rotation angle check와 Couch rotation angle check 등 기존의 mechanical check를 digital image를 이용하여 실행할 수 있었으며, 기존의 Flat 또는 정육면체 형태의 mechanical check device로는 쉽게 하기 힘든 non-coplanar field에 적용되는 Gantry와 Couch가 동시에 rotation되었을 때 그 isocenter의 일치도를 real time으로 확인할 수 있었다.

As the use of mobile devices increase, there is public interest in the utilization of the human motion generated mechanical energy. The human motion generated mechanical energies vary depending on the body region, type of motion, etc., and an appropriate device has to be designed to utilize them effectively. In this work, a device based on the principles of triboelectric generation and inertia was assessed in order to utilize the multi-axial mechanical energies generated by human motions. To improve the output performance we confirm the changes in the output that vary with the structural design, the reasons for such changes, and variations in performance based on the parts of the human body. In addition, the level of electrical energy generated based on motion type was measured; a maximum voltage of 30 V and a current of 2 ㎂ were generated. Finally, the proposed device was utilized in LEDs used for lighting, thus demonstrating that multi-axial mechanical energies can be harvested effectively. Based on the results, we expect that the developed device can be utilized as a sensor to detect mechanical energies, to sense changes in motion, or as a generator for auxiliary power supply for mobile devices.

The improved hitch device, which connecting the trailer to power tiller, was developed. This device, composed with spring and rubber, could reduce the vibration and shock levels during driven on off-road. The vertical vibration accelerations for the improved hitch device were measured at 6 positions, i.e. engine, hitch, seat, and three points in trailer (front, middle, and rear) for not driving but at low engine speed of 500 rpm, and compared with the existing hitch device. The results of this study could be summarized as follows; The average vibration acceleration up to 120 Hz was $0.4m/s^2$ at engine part, but it was 0.08 and $0.05m/s^2$ at trailer for existing and improved hitch device, respectively. About $38\%$ of average acceleration level could be absorbed for the improved hitch device compared with existing hitch device. The average vibration acceleration up to 40 Hz was reduced to 0.12 and $0.06m/s^2$ at trailer for existing and improved hitch device respectively, showing the reduction effect of $50\%$. The maximum acceleration occurred at up to 20 Hz of low frequency was much higher than total acceleration occurred at up to 120 Hz, which means that much loss or damage could be occurred during transporting of agricultural products on off-road. The portions of average acceleration occurred at up to 20 Hz of low frequency were $27\%\;and\;21\%$ for the existing and improved hitch device, respectively.

The purpose of this study is to develop the guideline of the physicochemical and mechanical properties evaluation for silicone gel filled breast implants. First of all, the use and development status for silicone gel filled breast implants were investigated, and then, standard and criteria about performance evaluation established by the international organizations such as ASTM, FDA guidance and ISO were examined. To evaluate the mechanical properties, data research and testing for breaking strength, elongation, tensile set, joint intensity, silicone gel cohesion, weight loss from heating, static rupture resistance, impact resistance test, fatigue test, and gel bleed were performed. On the other hand, to evaluate the physicochemical properties, volatile matter, extent of cross linking, heavy metals, and extractable were analyzed. In this study, results for general function, mechanical properties and physicochemical properties were examined and reviewed for the accordance with international standard, and objective and standardized guideline was provided.

In this paper, the stability and effectiveness of the force control with a 6-axis compliance device are verified by performing comparative experiments with a commercial F/T sensor. The position/force control algorithm based on the Cartesian stiffness of a compliance device is briefly introduced and the design result of a 6-axis compliance device with F/T sensing is presented. The comparative experiments show that the force control using a compliance device is much more stable than that with rigid F/T sensor due to the enough compliance of a compliance device larger than robot positional resolution.

Background: To review the experience that used both ventricular assist device(VAD) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO) for children with congential heart disease requiring postcardiotomy mechanical circulatory support. Material and Method: Between March 1993 and May 1995, we applied mechanical assist device using centrifugal pump to the 16 patients who failed to be weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass(n=15) or had been in cardiogenic shock in intensive care unit(n=1). The diagnosis were all congenital heart diseases and the ages of patients ranged from 20 days to 10 years (mean age=2.5$\pm$3.5 years). Result: The methods of mechanical circulatory support were LVAD(n=13), BVAD (n=1), and ECMO(n=2). The mean assist times were 54.0$\pm$23.7 hours. Post-assist complications were in orders: bleeding, acute renal failure, ventricular failure, respiratory failure, infection, and neurologic complication. It was possible for 9 patients(56.3%) to be weaned from assist device and 5 patients(31.3%) were discharged from hospital. There was no statistical significant between hospital discharged group and undischarged group by age, body weight, cardiopulmonary bypass time, and assist time. Conclusion: The ventricular assist device is an effective modality in salvaging the patient who failed to be weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass, but multiple factors must be considered for improving the results of mechanical circulatory support ; such as patient selection, optimal time of starting the assist device, and prevention and management of the complications.
