Recent clinical studies have shown that computer navigation for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) provides improved component alignment accuracy. However, femoral stress fracture after computernavigated TKA have been reported due to the pin hole and we hypothesized that osteoporosis would be one of the key factors in pin hole fracture after computer-navigated TKA. We investigated the von-Mises stress around the femoral pin-hole for different elastic modulli and ultimate stresses and four different pin penetration modes to understand the aging effect on femoral stress fracture risk after computer-navigated TKA by finite element analysis. In this study, aging effect was shown to increase the femoral stress fracture risk for all pin penetration modes. Especially, aging effect was shown dramatically in the transcortical pin penetration mode.

A pin fin with variable fin base thickness is analysed by using the one dimensional analytic method. Heat loss and fin thermal resistance are presented as a function of the fin base thickness, pin fin outer radius and convection characteristic numbers ratio. The relationship between the fin outer radius and fin base thickness for the same amount of heat loss is shown. One of the results indicates the fin thermal resistance decreases as the fin outer radius and/or convection characteristic numbers ratio increase whereas the fin thermal resistance is independent on the variation of fin base thickness.

It is necessary to study about moment performance of glulam-dowel connections which had been applied rotation. To analyze and predict the moment performance, angled to grain load was replaced with parallel to grain load and perpendicular to grain load. The dowel bending strength and dowel bearing strength were tested. And tensile strength test for connections of two different end distances was performed. Specimens of rotation test were composed with different drift pin numbers and drift pin arrangement. Connection deformation was occurred by plastic behavior of drift pin after yield when tensile load applied at connection. And the absorbing drift pin deflection by end distance continued the connection deformation. When rotation applied at connection that 2 drift pins were arranged parallel to grain (b2h), it showed similar performance with tensile perpendicular to grain. And connection that 2 drift pins were arranged perpendicular to grain (b2v) showed similar performance with tensile parallel to grain. Connection capacity that 4 drift pins were arranged rectangular (b4) showed 1.7 times as strong as connection that 2 drift pins were arranged parallel to grain (b2h). These results agreed predicted values and it is available that rotation replaced with tensile load.

Assembly using a bolt and nut, and rivet or pin have been used widely for forming mechanical joints. The indent method is an easier process than other manufacturing techniques and the toughness of the material is excellent. On the other hand, there are many cases in which the cracks occur on the manufacturing process as the indent method. Therefore, two kinds of models, in which a pin goes into and out PCB plate in this study were developed using the CATIA program and finite element methods were performed using the ANSYS program. When a pin was passed through a PCB plate in cases 1 and 2, the maximum loads applied to the PCB plate were 79.708N and 90.277N, respectively. When the PCB plate came out of the pin in cases 1 and 2, the maximum loads were 63.783N and 33.75N, respectively. The damage prevention and durability can be improved by applying the study results to the design of real indentation.

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of MRI after ACL reconstruction with femoral tunnel at 10 o'clock position. Materials and Methods: MRI findings of 29 patients after ACL reconstruction using hamstring tendon autograft were evaluated. The mean period from operation to MRI was 18.9 months($7{\sim}40$ months). Signal intensity, morphology and continuity of graft, femoral insertion, graft angle, roof impingement, cross pin breakage and position were evaluated. Those findings were compared with KT-2000, Lysholm knee score and pivot shift test. Results: There was no significant correlation between signal intensity of graft and the duration to MRI. Most common pattern of the morphology was straight, and the continuity was well-preserved. 13 cases of femoral tunnel insertion were zone 4 and 16 were zone 3. There were no roof impingement. 10 cases showed cross pin breakages, of which 5 were found at the outside of distal femoral posterior cortex. 9 showed cross pin directed posteriorly in axial view. There was no significant correlation between clinical results and cross pin breakage. Conclusion: MRI examinations after ACL reconstructions are useful to evaluate the graft status, position of the graft and cross pins. Since the direction of the cross pin is important especially in 10 o'clock femoral position, care should be taken to avoid cross pin breakage.

In the injection molding process, a core that builds a space for a product is installed at the internal place in the mold and fabricated as the frame of the mold. In this make up, the fabricating partial form of the mold at a pin is a core pin. The core pin is finer because an injection mold produces miniaturization and integration. On the other hand, when the core is manufactured using the existing centerless grinder, it generates vibrations because of the lack of a fixed zig for a micro size workpiece. For this reason, an existing centerless grinder without a micron size fixed zig, makes a defective product due to vibration and deformation. In this study, a compact grinding system that can be installed using an existing centerless grinder was fabricated to make a micro size core pin. Using the compact grinding system, grinding experiment for core pin was carried out. The performance of the system was confirmed by measuring the surface roughness, roundness, and cylindricity.

In this paper, the bearing strengths and fracture behaviors of the pin-jointed carbon fiber/epoxy composites were investigated through pin loading test. The composites were fabricated by a filament winding process, and two types of laminated patterns were considered. According to the results, type 1 pattern revealed a net-tension failure mode, whereas type 2 pattern exhibited a bearing failure mode. Also, acoustic emission energy of the type 2 pattern was higher than that of the type 1 pattern. Therefore, the type 2 pattern was found to be structurally safer than the type 1 pattern.

With the wide application of fiber-reinforced composite material in aero-structures and mechanical parts, composite joint have become a very important research area because they are often the weakest sites in composite structures. In this paper, the failure strengths of the bolted joint and pin joint which have variable hole clearance were evaluated and compared. From the tests, the first failure loads of the bolted joint and pin joint with $880{\mu}m$ hole clearance have decreased by 24.2 % and 51.3 % compared to those of joints with $0{\mu}m$ hole clearance, respectively. Also, the failure index of the joints were calculated by the finite element method and compared with experimental results.

It has been increased that communicate each other things such as consumer electronics, mobile equipments and wearable computer with serial communication protocol. The conventional method of SPI and I2C high speed serial communication is widely used with 2 pin of clock and data pin. It has been more important than the speed of data transfer to simplify the hardware structure because the IoT components is reduced the hardware complexity. In this paper, we describe the protocol and implementation of serial data transfer with only one pin. The proposed protocol is suitable for the mobile products that send and receive the small amount of data with low speed and low power consumption.
