Background : Patients mover more as their post operative pain decrease. With the increase in movement there will be a tendency for the epidural catheter to migrate out of its original position. We studied 2 methods of fixation of the epidural catheter and the changes in position as related to patient movement. Methods : Patients were divided into two groups. Patients in Group A had their epidural catheter formed with a circular loop at the (skin) exit site then directed over the right shoulder. Group B had the epidural catheter flxed with Fixomull on the exit site without forming a circular loop. At the end of the operation, 3 mg of epidural morphine was injected via indwelling epidural catheter for postoperative pain control. Epidural catheter depth was measured 24 hours later. Results : The overall rate of migration of epidural catheter was 61.9%. In Group A, number of patients whose catheter migrated over 0.5 cm was 23(69.9%) with 14 inward migration and 9 outward migration. Group B had 16(53%) patients catheters migrate over 0.5 cm, with 2 patients having inward migration and 14 outward migration. Conclusions : Although the rates of migration of epidural catheter were similar for both groups, the number of inner migration of catheter, which could result serious complications, was significantly lower in Group B than Group A. Based on our results we recommend the epidural catheter be fixed without a circular loop.

This paper has realized a control system of a vibrator using PM excited Transverse Flux Linear Motor(TFLM). Proposed vibrator can supply a vibration force up to 700[N] at rated current, wide operation range of vibration displacement and high frequency for a tested structure. Also, volume of a vibrator system can be decreased because of a high trust force rato(a thrust force per weight=N/Kg). A proposed vibrator instead of a hydraulic vibrator can improve efficiency and have may advantages of maintenance and management. A desired value command is a vibration frequency and displacement in a controller for a vibrator system and a controlled values we a instant position and velocity of a mover Output value of the controller is phase current controlled by PWM converter. In this research, Dynamic simulation has been executed for analysis of a control algorithm and dvnauuc characteristics and is compared with experimental result.

The objective of this study is to find out whether Korean main banks may have efficiency against Indian major banks. For this purpose, DEA analysis is used for checking relative efficiency levels. The study proposes, as a result, Shinhan bank, Woori bank and Kookmin bank in Korea may consider entering into Indian banking industry because these three banks have relative efficiency against main Indian banks like Yes bank, ICICI bank. The results of the study comply with actual facts since Shinhan bank already came to Indian banking market at first. Shinhan bank have three branches like Mumbai, NewDelhi etc. Wooribank also entered into India in 2012 as second case among Korean banks. But Kookmin bank did not come to India yet so they should consider coming to India. As a preliminary measures, they can send one person as a expatriate to survey the Indian banking industry like KDB in Korea. If they can utilize their core competence in real estate field at India, they may positively think about entering into India as quickly as possible. Although many Korean firms have penetrated into Indian market recently, they almost belong to manufacturing sectors so Korean service firms like banks should consider more coming to India because the most hot sector for FDI in India remain service sector and many foreign service firms already rush to Indian market. If Korean service firms like banks delay FDI further, good market opportunities would not be there any more. DEA analysis can be one of tools to check investment feasibilities. Since India becomes a compulsory subject for most of Korean firms, to increase possibilities of success in India, such Korean banks may consider applying fast-mover investment strategies to the Indian business fields.

Two stroke low speed diesel engines are widely used for marine propulsion or as power plant prime mover. These engines have many merits which includes higher thermal efficiency, mobility and durability. Yet various annoying vibrations occur sometimes in ships or at the plant itself. Of these vibrations, torsional vibration is very important and dictates a careful investigation during the engme's initial design stage for safe operation. With the rule and limit on torsional vibration in place, shaft strength fatigue due to torsional vibration however demands further analysis which possibly can be incorporated in the classification societies' rule and limit. In addition, the shaft's torsional vibration stresses can be calculated equivalently from accumulated fatigue cycles number due to transient torsional vibration in time domain. In this paper, authors suggest a new estimation method combined with Palmgren-Miner equation. A 6S70MC-C ($25,320ps{\times}91rpm$) engine for ship propulsion was selected as a case study. Angular velocity was measured, instead of shaft's strain, for simplified measurement and it was converted to torsional vibration stress for accumulated fatigue cycle numbers in shafting life time. Likewise, the accumulated fatigue calculation was compared with shaft fatigue strength limit. This new method can be further realized and confirmed in ship with two stroke low speed diesel engine.

This study illustrates and compares the platform strategy of Apple and Samsung, which have been operating their own App stores, by using the $IISI^n$ model. Apple, the first mover of the platform, has employed closed strategy for quality control of the platform and customer loyalty. On the other hand, Samsung has employed open strategy for increasing the platform network effects. The result of this study showed that the platform strategy "Openness", which is a free entry of participants, and "Sharing" of created value, are important along with the excellent platform environment. As a pioneering study of the platform strategy for the co-creation, this research contributes to both theory and practice.

In the TFT-LCD(Thin Film Transistor-Liquid Crystal Display) panel manufacturing industry, SAMSUNG, a late entry, can catch up to leading first mover, SHARP. The changes the note, monitor, TV, and mobile markets in the TFT-LCD industry were studied using a system analysis method. In addition, the fast response time technology in SAMSUNG TFT-LCD technology was developed using the TRIZ method. For example, a new liquid crystal mixture of a wide view angle and fast response time were developed by doping a new high birefringence liquid crystal material in a base mixture using the contradiction method and su-field method of TRIZ. The response time of a new liquid crystal mixture was improved to approximately 60%(16.2ms with base LC mixture, 9.8ms with a new LC mixture).

Servo system has commonly adapted PI controller with fixed gains, because of its simplicity and determinative relationship among the parameters. The fixed gains PI system may be applied well to some operation conditions, but not non-linearities, complex and time variant operation conditions. For solving these problems, another conventional method, 'variable gun schedule according to speed', is published. The value of gain is determined according to the absolute value of the mover real speed. In this paper, FSTPIC(Fuzzy Self-Tuning PI Controller) is proposed based on various experiences to rapidly reduce speed error and to secure a good speed response characteristics. The effectiveness of proposed algorithms is demonstrated by comparing to two conventional gain systems via 4-quadrant operation.

PMLSM is structurally simple and it have a lot of merits such high speed, high thrust force etc., but cogging force by slot-teeth structure of armature and cogging force by outlet edge effect occurs. This is the cause of thrust force ripple and generate the noise and vibration. Therefore, in this paper we proposed installation of an auxiliary pole to mover of the PMLSM in order to decrease cogging force by the outlet edge which came necessarily into being discontinuous arrangement of the armature. Also, outlet edge cogging force designed a form of the auxiliary pole which the minimum became, and we compared a outlet edge cogging force characteristic along a winding method of an armature as we used 2-D of finite element analysis.

The slotless linear synchronous motor(LSM) has the advantages that the structure of the mover is simple and it can control the trust force ripple by make the magnetic energy in a gap uniform by removing a slot of the primary iron core. Also, the application of the transportation system is becoming expansion because it high efficiency drive is possible and compares with the other LSM as control is more excellent. However, the application of the living field was unsatisfactory. Therefore, in this study, we examined the drive characteristics by the position feedback control for the living field application of the slotless LSM and we prove useful of the controller through load loading and the acceleration changing to get minimization of the speed vibration and stable answer characteristics.

We have five different types of observation modes with regard to the Deep Ecliptic Patrol of the Southern Sky (DEEP-South); Opposition Census (OC) for targeted photometry, Sweet Spot Survey (S1) for discovery and orbit characterization of Atens and Atiras, Ecliptic Survey (S2) for asteroid family studies and comet census, NEOWISE follow-up (NW) for near simultaneous albedo measurements in the visible bands, and Target of Opportunity (TO) observation for follow-up either for unpredictable events or targets of special interests. Different exposures with such different modes result in a wide range of background noise level, the number of background stars and the mover's projected speed in each image. The Moving Object Detection Program (MODP) utilizes multiple mosaic images being taken for the same target fields at different epochs at the three KMTNet sites. MODP employs existing software packages such as SExtractor (Source-Extractor) and SCAMP (Software for Calibrating Astrometry and Photometry); SExtractor generates object catalogs, while SCAMP conducts precision astrometric calibration, then MODP determines if a point source is moving. This package creates animated stamp images for visual inspection with MPC reports, the latter for checking whether an object is known or unknown. We evaluate the astrometric accuracy and efficiency of MODP using the year one dataset obtained from DEEP-South operations.
