배 경 : 기관 내관 풍선(cuff)의 압력은 과도하게 높으면 기관에 손상을 일으키고, 낮으면 압력 누출이 초래되므로 적절한 압력 유지가 필요하다. 적절한 cuff의 압력을 유지하기 위해서 시행하는 최소 밀폐압 (minimal occlusion pressure) 방법에서 cuff의 압력은 최고 흡기압(peak inspiratory pressure)의 영향을 받는다고 알려져 있다. 그러나 최고 흡기압 이외의 다른 요소, 특히 환기 용적과의 관련성은 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 이에 저자들은 인공호흡기 치료를 받는 환자들에서 동일한 최고 흡기압을 유지하면서 상시량을 변화시키는 것이 기관 내관 cuff의 최소 밀폐압에 영향을 주는지 보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 인공 호흡기 치료 중인 환자 10명을 대상으로 cuff 압력 측정계를 이용하여 공기 누출이 일어나지 않는 cuff의 최소 압력(최소 밀폐압)을 구하였다. 최고 흡기압을 일정하게 유지하도록 인공호흡기의 설정을 조절하면서 1회 호흡량을 10% 증가시킨 용적과 10% 감소시킨 용적을 각각 적용하면서 최소 밀폐압을 측정하여 비교하였다. 결 과 : 초기 설정에서 최고 흡기압은 $32.6{\pm}4.72cmH_2O$ 였고, 최소 밀폐압은 $19.0{\pm}2.26$ mmHg 였다. 각 환자의 최고 흡기압과 최소 밀폐압 사이에는 의미 있는 상관관계가 있었다(r=0.77, p<0.01). 상시량을 10% 증가시킨 경우(high volume state)의 최소 밀폐압은 $20.3{\pm}2.41$ mmHg로 증가하였고(p<0.05), 상시량을 감소시킨 경우(low volume state)의 최소 밀폐압은 $16.8{\pm}3.01$ mmHg로 감소하였다(p<0.001). 결 론 : 최고 흡기압 뿐만 아니라 1회 호흡량도 기관 내관 cuff의 최소 밀폐압에 영향을 미칠 수 있다.

Sloshing of the fluid having a free surface produces an impact force on a tank wall subjected to external excitation. This paper investigates the effect of cylindrical structures in a rectangular sloshing tank under translational harmonic excitations. By varying the number of installed cylinders in the tank, the characteristics of the free-surface deformation is experimentally observed, and the peak pressure on the tank wall is extracted by threshold values. To predict the peak pressure, the numerical simulation is also conducted using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), and the peak values are compared with the experimental results. Furthermore, pressure and velocity fields in the tank and free-surface shape are analyzed at the moment of impact.

The torque is an important measure that represents the performance of a particular engine. Furthermore the information of engine torque can be used as a primary feedback parameter in modem engine management system. In this paper, a methodology is proposed for torque estimation of SI-engine. Since the proposed method uses cylinder pressure sensor, the torque can be estimated in a simple manner. The indicated torque is estimated from the peak pressure and its location, and the load torque is observed by the state observer based on the estimated indicated torque. The proposed method is accurate and robust against the variations that affect the torque production such as spark timing, mass air flow and others. This torque estimation method may be an alternative solution to the use of engine torque maps in a modem torque-based engine management system.

Full-scale measurements of wind action on the open roof structure of the WuXi grand theater, which is composed of eight large-span free-form leaf-shaped space trusses with the largest span of 76.79 m, were conducted during the passage of Typhoons HaiKui and SuLi. The wind pressure field data were continuously and simultaneously monitored using a wind pressure monitoring system installed on the roof structure during the typhoons. A detailed analysis of the field data was performed to investigate the characteristics of the fluctuating wind pressure on the open roof, such as the wind pressure spectrum, spatial correlation coefficients, peak wind pressures and non-Gaussian wind pressure characteristics, under typhoon conditions. Three classical methods were used to calculate the peak factors of the wind pressure on the open roof, and the suggested design method and peak factors were given. The non-Gaussianity of the wind pressure was discussed in terms of the third and fourth statistical moments of the measured wind pressure, and the corresponding indication of the non-Gaussianity on the open roof was proposed. The result shows that there were large pulses in the time-histories of the measured wind pressure on Roof A2 in the field. The spatial correlation of the wind pressures on roof A2 between the upper surface and lower surface is very weak. When the skewness is larger than 0.3 and the kurtosis is larger than 3.7, the wind pressure time series on roof A2 can be taken as a non-Gaussian distribution, and the other series can be taken as a Gaussian distribution.

The purpose of this study was to assess the peak plantar pressure distribution under foot areas according to the height of heel lifts in obese adults and non-obese adults during walking. Thirty-one participants volunteered for this experiment. The average body mass index (BMI) value of the fourteen subjects in the obese group was $26.5{\pm}1.4kg/m^2$ (from 25.1 to 29.3 $kg/m^2$), and of seventeen subjects in the non-obese group was $20.0{\pm}1.1kg/m^2$ (from 18.7 to 22.7 $kg/m^2$). The subject ambulated while walking in the sneakers, walking with 2 cm heel lifts, and walking with 4 cm heel lifts in the shoes. We measured the peak plantar pressure under the hallux, 1st, 2nd, 3~4th, and 5th metatarsal head (MTH), mi foot, and heel using F-scan system. The obese group had significantly higher peak plantar pressure under all foot areas than the non-obese group regardless of the height of heel lifts (p<.05). The peak plantar pressure under the 5th MTH and heel was significantly decreased, also the peak plantar pressure under hallux, 1st, and 2nd MTH was significantly increased according to the height of heel lifts in the obese group and non-obese group (p<.05), We proposed that individuals with heel lifts in shoes should be careful, as there is high plantar pressure under the forefoot.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the change of the peak plantar pressure distribution under the foot areas and the range of motion (ROM) of ankle joint according to gradients in treadmill gait. Method : Thirty normal subjects (15 male and 15 female) walked on treadmill at three gradient conditions ($0^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, and $15^{\circ}$) in normal speed. The ankle ROM was measured using the CMS70P that is three dimensional analyzer for excursion of ankle ROM, plantar flexion, and dorsi flexion. The peak plantar pressure distribution under the hallux, 1st metatarsal head (MTH) and heel was measured using the F -Scan system with an in-shoe sensor. Data was collected from 9 steps of left sife foot in at each gradient condition while all subjects walked. Result : As the treadmill gradient increased, the excursion of ankle joint was significantly increased (p<.05). Also, plantar flexion and dorsi flexion was significantly increased according to treadmill gradients (p<.05). The peak plantar pressure under the 1st MTH was significantly increased (p<.05) and the peak plantar pressure under the heel was significantly decreased (p<.05) as the treadmill gradient increased. No significant different in the peak plantar pressure under the hallux was observed. Conclusion : This study suggests that physical therapy for patients who have limited ankle ROM should be considered sufficient range of motion for functional ambulation. And individuals that have painful forefoot syndromes, including metatarsalgia, hallux valgus, and plantar ulceration should be careful in walking to uphill, as there is high plantar pressure under the forefoot.

본 연구는 언제 어디서나 건강관리를 할 수 있는 u-health care를 위해 cuff를 사용하지 않고 손쉽게 혈압을 측정할 수 있는 기술을 개발하였다. ECG와 PPG 시그널(signal) 만을 이용하여 혈압을 실시간으로 측정할 수 있는 기존 기술은 PTT를 분석 할 때 노이즈나 진폭의 변화로 인해 Peak 추정의 오류가 자주 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 이를 해결하기 위해 적응적 peak 추정 기술을 개발하여 Peak 추정의 정확도를 향상시켰다. 이를 적용하여 측정데이터를 분석한 결과 PTT의 표준편차는 28%감소하였으며, 노이즈 탐지 성능은 18%증가하였다. 또한 PTT와 혈압간의 상관성에 대해 분석한 결과 수축기 혈압= -0.044 $\cdot$ PTT + 133.592의 상관식을 도출하였다. 도출된 상관식을 적용하여 PPG와 ECG 만으로 수축기 혈압을 연속적으로 측정할 수 있는 시스템을 구축하였다.

Measurements of plantar pressure provide an indication of foot and ankle function during gait and other functional activities because the foot and ankle provide necessary support and flexibility for weight bearing and weight shifting while people are performing these activities. Plantar pressure is being increasingly used in both research and clinical practice to measure the effects of various footwear and physical therapy intervention. The influence of walking speed and ground inclination on plantar pressure parameters However has not been evaluated in detail. So, in this study to determine the effect of changes in walking speed and ground inclination on plantar pressure treadmills with different walking speeds and inclination were used. Plantar pressure parameters were measured with the Parotec system using the walking and running in 20 healthy participants(10 male, 10 female) aged $20{\sim}28$(mean 22.22, S.D.2.26 years) when slow walking and running. The result of this study with increased die walking speed, the peak pressure of 1st, 5th metatarsal head and total contact time and impulse total at the forefoot was affected by walking speed; however, die peak pressure, contact time and impulse total at the forefoot was not affected by ground inclination.

In this study, the characteristics of wind pressure distribution on circular retractable dome roofs with a low rise-to-span ratio were analyzed under various approaching flow conditions by obtaining and analyzing wind pressures under three different turbulent boundary layers. Compared to the results of previous studies with a rise-to-span ratio of 0.1, it was confirmed that a lower rise-to-span ratio increases the reattachment length of the separated approaching flow, thereby increasing the influence of negative pressure. Additionally, it was found that wind pressures varied significantly according to the characteristics of the turbulence intensity. Based on these experimental results, a model for peak net pressure coefficients for cladding design was proposed, considering variations in turbulence intensity and height.

Accurate description of starting transient history allows and justifies the use of small margin of safety for the engine parts, resulting in high motor mass ratio in addition to satisfying the control and guidance requirements of the vehicle. Studies have been carried out for the prediction and reduction of ignition peak and pressure-rise rate during the starting transient of solid rocket motors. Numerical studies have been carried out using a two dimensional Navier-Stokes solver. It has been inferred through the parametric studies that, in the case of solid rocket motors with uniform port, high ignition peak is observed at high spread rate and low pressure-rise rate. In the case of the port with sudden expansion configuration, high ignition peak is observed at relatively high average spread rate and high-pressure rise rate. These studies are expected to aid the designer in reducing the ignition peak by altering the propellant properties or igniter characteristics without sacrificing the motor performance.
