Process of screw-pumping system (SPS) was optimized for mass production of encapsulated bifidus. SPS entrapment device was composed of feeding component, with optimized nozzle size and length of 18G (0.91 cm) and 4 mm, respectively, screw pump, and 37-multi-nozzle. Screw component had five wing turns [radius (r)=26 to 15 mm] from top to bottom of axis at 78-degree angle from middle of the screw, and two wings were positioned at screw edge to push materials toward nozzle. For nozzle component, 37 nozzles were attached to 20-mm round plate. Air compressor was attached to SPS to increase productivity of encapsulated bifidus. This system could be operated with highly viscous (more than 300 cp) materials, and productivity was higher than $1128\;{\pm}\;30\;beads/min$. Viability of encapsulated bifidus was $5.45\;{\times}\;10^8\;cfu$/bead, which is superior to that of encapsulated bifidus produced by other methods ($2.51{\times}10^8\;cfu$/bead). Average diameter of produced beads was $2.048\;{\pm}\;0.003\;mm$. Survival rate of SPS-produced encapsulated bifidus was 90% for Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem test and 88% in fermented milk (for 14 days). These results show SPS is effective for use in development of economical system for mass production of viable encapsulated bifidus.

이 논문은 1년에 몇 일 혹은 몇 시간 동안 만 최대 에너지가 공급된다. 그러므로 일반적인 경우에는 대부분 최대 에너지의 50%나 이보다 적은 양의 에너지를 얻게 된다. 이런 작은량의 에너지가 공급되는 Alternative Energy system (P. Voltac System)하에서 용수공급을 위해 기존의 Centrifugal pump를 사용 할 때와 Screw type pump를 사용할 때 공급된 용수량을 비교하였다. 연구 결과 Screw type pump 사용 시 alternative Energy system의 높이에 상관없이 단지 Screw type pump의 speed에 영향을 받으며 낮은 Energy 하 에서도 비교적 높은 효율을 낸다는 것을 실험적으로 비교 검토 하였다.

본 실험은 Bifidus균의 위 장관 내 공급 시 균의 사멸에 대한 안정성을 높이기 위해 제조하는 microcapsule화 된 비드의 생산성을 향상시킬 목적으로 실시하였다. Bifidus균의 세포 포집 시 유사 위액과 담즙산에 높은 생존률을 보인 것으로 조사된 여러 종류 첨가물의 최적 농도로 비드를 제조하였을 때, material의 점도가 멸균 후 300cp 이하로 감소하였으며, cell 첨가 시 alginate bead 제조 한계 점도인 300cp 부근까지 증가하였다. 이상의 조건에서 고 점도의 alginate solution을 이송, 압출할 수 있는 SPS를 구성하였다. 비드의 생산성 비교 실험에서 18G, 4mm 규격의 nozzle을 13개 장착한 multi-nozzle은 $308{\pm}3ea/min$ 의 생산성을 보였으며 airgun 및 sylinge를 이용해 제조한 경우보다 각각 2.18배, 14.09배의 생산량 증대효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper presents the development of the underwater cleaning robot platform for a higher efficiency in manufacturing industry. Human operators directly go into the cistern and clean sludge after drainage of the water so far. It is sometimes dangerous because of the harmful chemical materials from the product making process. In addition, it takes long time for water drainage and supplying it back. However, the robot cleaning operation does not need to drain water so that it could be applied to the sludge cleaning work at any time without the plant pause. Moreover, it can prevent the safety accidents because human operators are not necessary to enter directly the sludge cisterns. This paper shows the performance of cleaning work that can be applied in the industrial field through the design and development of underwater cleaning robot platform. And these results demonstrate that the developed underwater cleaning robot has great possibilities to clean other industrial water cisterns.

An electromechanical type is the most useful mechanism in the various pumping mechanisms. It, however, requires a movement converting system including a ball screw, a helical cam, or a solenoid-beam spring, which makes the device complex and may lessen reliability. Thus, the authors have hypothesized that an electromagnetic actuator mechanism can eliminate the movement converting system and that thereby enhance the mechanical reliability and operative simplicity of an electro­pneumatic pump. The purpose of this study was to show a novel application of electromagnetic actuator mechanism in pulsatile pump and to provide preliminary data for further evaluations. The electromagnetic actuator consists of stators with a single winding excitation coil and movers with a high energy density neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnet. A 0.5mm diameter wire was used for the excitation coil, and 1000 turns were wound onto the stators core with parallel. A prototype of extracorporeal electro-pneumatic pump was constructed, and the pump performance tests were performed using a mock system to evaluate the efficiency of the electromagnetic actuator mechanism. When forward and backward electric currents were supplied to the excitation coil, the mover effectively moved back and forth. The nominal stroke length of the actuator was 10mm. The actuator dimension was 120mm in diameter and 65mm in height with a mass of 1.4kg. The prototype pump unit was 150mm in diameter, 150mm in thickness and 4.5kg in weight. The maximum force output was 70N at input current of 4.5A and the maximum pump rate was 150 beats per minute. The maximum output was 2.0 L/minute at a rate of 80bpm when the afterload was 100mmHg. The electromagnetic actuator mechanism was successfully applied to construct the prototype of extracorporeal electro­pneumatic pump. The authors provide the above results as a preliminary data for further studies.
