Traumatic chylothorax after blunt chest trauma alone is considered rare. Our patient was a 27-year-old female who was in a motorcycle accident and sustained blunt thoracic and traumatic thoracic aortic injuries with T1-T2 vertebral subluxation. She underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair from T4 to T9 without any thoracic or spinal surgery. On postoperative day 7, the drainage from her left chest turned into a milky-white fluid indicative of chyle leakage. The patient was treated conservatively for 2 weeks and then the chest drain was safely removed. The results show that traumatic chylothorax can be successfully managed with conservative treatment.

We developed to have an automatic transferring function of a two-motors-driven electrical scooter for women or seniors to use conveniently it since it has been previously to operate it in manual only. The function would be implemented by using master and slave micro-control units(MCU) in the system with the given input and output signals. The simulation and test of the system results show that the transition conditions of either higher accelerating speed and/or higher torque are demonstrated at the worst conditions, which means that the transition points might be set either at the 70% of accelerating speed or from the 100% of load torque. The developed equipment is very useful and has good performance in the real test and would be used for top brand and might be applicable to any other types of green cars.

This study deals with litter which has sunk and accumulated on the sea-bed of the Chinhae Bay obtained by using a beam trawler. The litter collected through the duration of survey (1997~1998) were distributed from 8.76~80.63 items/ha and 3.51~108.39 kg/ha, respectively, in quantities and weights. Especially bulky wastes(shell, tires, motorcycle and refrigerator) were composed of 76% of them, next metal and glasses, 29.5%. The seasonal variability of litters in the bay is large, as 62% in April, next August, 23%, in total weights.These discarded substances have the widespread distribution but varied in each sampled area. Therefore they exist in a significant pollutants, as threatening the fishing activities and near marine environment, and also potential damage to marine resources.

In this study, a experiment has been developed for measuring the exhaust pressure of muffler at inlet and outlet. The main experimental parameters were a engine speed and sound absorbing material in the muffler. The muffler sound absorbing material tested a steel wool and glass wool. The exhaust pressure was measured with pressure sensor. The phase of exhaust pressure with high speed was moved according to increasing engine speed comparing with exhaust pressure with low speed. Also, the distribution of exhaust pressure at the model-1, 2 and 3 are similar with distribution of exhaust pressure at muffler inlet.

To visualize sound field or to identify noise sources, we can use many methods such as intensity method, acoustic holographic method, source identification method using line array, etc. Conventionally all these methods are performed with the assumption of stationary condition in space and time. But for moving source, spatial characteristics and frequency components are changing, so we need another processing algorithm. This paper shows some experimental results - sound field by moving noise sources. In the experiment cross type microphone line array is used for sensing pressure and cars and a motorcycle are used as moving sources that are assumed to have constant speed. The processing methods are acoustic holographic method, spherical beamforming and spectrogram.

In this paper, Interior permanent magnet synchronous motor(IPMSM) with concentrated winding for 110cc electric motorcycle is introduced. Optimum design is performed so as to satisfy wide speed operation range. And output characteristics is analyzed according to shoe height in many variables. Because partial magnetic saturation in shoe affects the harmonics, output characteristics of motor could be confirmed that a significant change. As a result, the new shape and the optimal design parameters considering the partial magnetic saturation is obtained. Compared with the base model, wide operating range was confirmed.

Total extrusion of the talus is a very rare injury. If the talus is found in a short time, it can be restored to its original position. If the talus is missing or found too late, however, surgeons may attempt tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis or use a pseudoarthrosis without repositioning the talus. As direct tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis may shorten the lower extremity, tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis using a sandwich block can be performed. We performed tibiocalcaneonavicular arthrodesis using a sandwich block to treat a patient with open talus extrusion caused by a motorcycle accident and obtained good clinical results.

Studies on brake system recently are focused on braking performance, especially the consideration on safety of braking system in an extreme situation and reduction of vibration and noise during braking operation. The thermal crack and Judder from the friction between brake disc and pad can bring the threaten of passengers' safety in the end. Braking force comes from the change of kinetic energy to friction energy. Since heat energy is developed from here, the analysis on thermal stress and thermal strain can be the good data when selecting the material of brake pad and designing heat radiation holes on the disc and it will also be the data when designing the thickness of the disc. This paper is intended to show a creative design method by suggesting the thermal analysis data through FEM study and using shape design parameters.

CVT(Continuously Variable Transmission) is one of the most promising candidates for the future automobile transmission because of its continuously variable gear ratio and reduced shift shock. It is also possible to operate the power source at its high efficiency region with CVT. The CVT system consists of thrust plate, driving pulley, belt, driven pulley, and preload spring of output shaft. In this paper, the dynamic modeling of a CVT system is completed to obtain the static performances of CVT system. A simulator is implemented on Matlab(Simulink), which can analyse the static performances of a CVT system. The methods for improving the total efficiency of a motorcycle system are also proposed based on the simulation results. In this study we increase the capacity factor of CVT up to the three times of default specification.

A 21-year-old male visited our emergency room. He could not remember the mechanism of injury. He was found beside a motorcycle. Initial vital sign was stable. Observation and conservative treatment were planned at the intensive care unit (ICU). On the third day at ICU, he complained sudden flank pain. It was colicky and hard to control. Without the pain, he had no specific symptom, sign, or laboratory findings. On computed tomography, renal pelvis was filled with hematoma which induced hydronephrosis. Double-J catheter and percutaneous nephrostomy was implemented by an intervention radiologist. Hematome in the renal pelvis was aspirated during the procedure. Symptom of the patient was subsided after the procedure. He was discharged without specific complications.
