This paper proposes a novel fault diagnosis scheme using parameter estimation of the stator resistance, especially in the case of the open-phase faults of PMSM drives. The stator resistance of PMSMs can be estimated by the recursive least square (RLS) algorithm in real time. Fault diagnosis is achieved by analyzing the estimated stator resistance of each phase according to the fault condition. The proposed fault diagnosis scheme is implemented without any extra devices. Moreover, the estimated parameter information can be used to improve the control performance. The feasibility of the proposed fault diagnosis scheme is verified by simulation and experimental results.

Background: At present, there is no reliable objective test for the diagnosis of myofascial trigger points (MFTP). We evaluated the usefulness of skin resistance point finder for the diagnosis of MFTP. Methods: 40 subjects with clinical MFTPs at the upper trapezius muscle were included in this study. Using skin resistance point finder (UNIQUE S-2010$^{(R)}$, Seik medical, Korea), we tried to find out the point of low skin resistance. At three different current level, sensitivity and specificity of this method for the diagnosis of clinically identified MFTP was evaluated. Pressure threshold for pain of low skin resistance point was measured using Pressure Threshold Meter$^{(R)}$ (Pain Diagnostics and Thermography, U.S.A.). 3 groups of point detected at different current were compared in mean pressure threshold. Results: Fixed single current of skin resistance point finder showed variable sensitivity and specificity. But, by adjusting current level, skin resistance point finder detected all of 40 clinically identified MFTPs. Although it is partially statistically significant, the mean pressure threshold of points detected at high current was high. Conclusion: Skin resistance finder can be used as objective diagnostic tool of MFTPs. There is possibility that it can be useful in evaluating treatment effect. However, more investigation is necessary.

본 연구에서는 탄소섬유로 보강된 콘크리트의 전기저항 변화를 모니터링하는 방법에 의해, 콘크리트의 파괴에 대한 자가진단 적용 특성을 검토하였다. 미분쇄 탄소섬유와 코크스 분체로 구성된 신형 리브재가 포함된 CFGFRP (탄소섬유 유리섬유 강화 플라스틱)와 콘크리트 보강용 CF(탄소섬유) 시트에 휨 하중 재하 단계별로 하중을 가할 때 균열 또는 파괴가 발생하기 전후의 탄소섬유의 전기저항 변화를 조사하여, 각 인자의 관계특성(각 하중단계별 전기저항, 변형률, 처짐 등의 변화)을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 콘크리트 인장측 파괴시 탄소섬유 보강근, 신형 리브, 시트가 파괴될 때, 전기저항은 크게 증가하지만, CFGFRP의 경우는 그 후 하이브리드 FRP 재료 중 탄소섬유를 보강하고 있던 유리섬유가 나머지 추가 재하 하중에 저항할 수 있어 콘크리트 시험체의 전 파괴단계에까지는 이르지 않았다. 따라서 CFGFRP의 보강근과 신형 리브, CF시트는 FRP로 보강된 콘크리트의 파괴를 사전에 감지할 수 있는 자가진단 재료로서의 적용이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

CFRP(단일형), CRGFRP와 CFAFRP(하이브리드형)의 3종류로 보강된 콘크리트에 휨 하중 재하 단계별로 하중을 가하여 균열 또는 파괴가 발생하기 전후의 탄소섬유의 전기저항 변화를 조사하여, 각 인자의 관계특성(각 하중단계별 전기저항, 변형률, 처짐 등의 변화)을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 콘크리트 인장측 파괴 시 탄소섬유단이 파괴될 때 전기저항은 크게 증가하지만, 그 후 하이브리드 FRP 재료 중 탄소섬유를 보강하고 있던 유리섬유나 아라미드섬유가 나머지 추가 재하 하중에 저항할 수 있어 콘크리트 시험체의 전 파괴단계에까지는 이르지 않았다. 따라서 탄소섬유가 포함된 하이브리트 FRP 보강근은 콘크리트 시험체의 파괴를 사전에 감지할 수 있는 자가진단 재료로서의 적용 및 사용이 가능함을 알 수 있다.

52 Dental students without masticatory problems were selected for this study. They were trained on several mandibular position and mandibular movement exercise, that is, rest position, light bite, tapping, hinge opening, habitual opening, opening limitation, stretch exercise, resistance exercise and clenching. The objectives of this study was to investigate the effects of mandibular movement exercise, especially stretch and resistance, on the experimentally guided limited mouth opening. Muscle activity of the anterior temporalis and the masseter on above mentioned position or exercise were recorded with bioelectric processor EM2(Myotronics, U.S.A.) and the data were processed with SPSS. The obtained results were as follows : 1. Activity of the muscles at rest position were decreased with mandibular movement exercise. 2. Forceful mouth opening on opening limitation increased muscle activity greatly, especially of the masseter. 3. On opening limitation, stretch or resistance exercise was very efficient for decrease of muscle activities. 4. There were no difference of muscle activity between on hinge opening and on habitual opening. Therefore, for muscle relaxation, the two movement exercise can be used interchangeably.

Electrolytic capacitors have been widely used in power electronics system because of the features of large capacitance, small size, high-voltage, and low-cost. Electrolytic capacitors, which is most of the time affected by aging effect, plays a very important role for the power electronics system quality and reliability. Therefore it is important to estimate the parameter of an electrolytic capacitor to predict the failure. This paper proposed a novel fault diagnosis method of an electrolytic capacitor used for voltage smoothing in boost DC converter. The equivalent series resistance(ESR) of electrolytic capacitor estimated from FFT result of filtered waveform of capacitor voltage/current. Main advantage of the proposed method include circuit simplicity and easy implementation. Simulation and experimental results are shown to verify the performance of the proposed method.

The study was conducted on 162 adult male Haemonchus contortus of sheep collected from Avikanagar, Jaipur and Bikaner regions to diagnose the benzimidazole (BZ) resistance in H. contortus. The BZ resistance is primarily linked with the mutation in ${\beta}$-tubulin isotype 1 gene which substitute phenylalanine (Phe) into tyrosine (Tyr) at the 200 codon of the gene. An allele specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR) technique was used for diagnosis of BZ resistance in H. contortus. In AS-PCR, one reverse primer (TGG 312) was used in two separate reactions with each of 2 forward primers (resistant TGG 331 and susceptible CAW 106 primer) that differed only at 3' nucleotide position. Therefore, the amplified products from resistant and susceptible parasites were produced 267 and 266 bp, respectively. A total of 162 parasites were genotyped, of which 130 parasites found homozygous resistant 'rr', 22 heterozygous 'rS' and 10 homozygous susceptible 'SS' type. The prevalence of 'rr' individuals was higher in Jaipur (98%) followed by Avikanagar (93%) and Bikaner (50%) regions. Overall, the prevalence of BZ resistant allele (r) was higher (87%) as compared to 13% of BZ susceptible allele (S).

Currently, the rapid growth of electric vehicles and the collection and disposal of waste batteries are becoming a social problem. The purpose of this paper is to propose a fast and efficient battery screening method through a safe inspection and storage method according to the collection and storage of waste batteries of electric vehicles. In addition, as the resistance inside the waste battery increases, an instantaneous voltage drop occurs, and there is a risk of overcharging and overdischarging compared to the initial state of the battery. Accordingly, there are great difficulties in operation, so the final goal of this study is to develop a device for diagnosing aging through real-time battery internal resistance measurement. Final result As a result of simulation of the internal resistance measurement test circuit through external impedance (AC), the actual simulation value was 0.05Ω, RS = Vrms / Irms => Vrms = 8.0036mV, Irms = 162.83Ma. Substitute the suggested method. The result was calculated as Rs = 0.0495Ω. It is possible to measure up to 64 impedances inside the aging diagnostic equipment that enables real-time monitoring of the developed battery cells, and the range can be changed according to the application method.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal endocrine disorders in women of reproductive age. It consists of a heterogeneous collection of signs and symptoms that together form a disorder spectrum. The diagnosis of PCOS is principally based on clinical and physical findings. The extent of metabolic abnormalities in women with PCOS varies with phenotype, body weight, age, and ethnicity. For general population, the prevalence of hyperandrogenism and oligomenorrhea decreases with age, while complications such as insulin resistance and other metabolic disturbances increase with age. Obese women with PCOS have a higher risk of developing oligomenorrhea, amenorrhea, hyperandrogenemia, insulin resistance, and lower luteinizing hormone (LH) to follicle stimulation hormone (FSH) ratios than non-obese women with PCOS. The LH to FSH ratio is a valuable diagnostic tool in evaluating Taiwanese women with PCOS, especially in the diagnosis of oligomenorrhea. Overweight/obesity is the major determinant of cardiovascular and metabolic disturbances in women of reproductive age.
