Seafood is attracting attention as a future food industry. In recent years, the demand for fishery equipment of mechanization, automation, and unmanned was increased due to the environment affected by seafood processing, stricter regulations on safety, decline and aging of fishery worker. Ark shell (Scapharca subcrenata) was being produced in many steps in the production process. The process has been made such as collection-landing-washing-first sort (goods/non-goods)-transports-second sort (size). It was undergone first and second steps by delivering to the consumer. Here, the first step is to sort goods to collection and the second step is to sort by size. The fishery workers need ten people in first step and six people in second step. The workload of one hour per kg is 4,247 kg/h in first step and 2,213 kg/h in second step. In addition, the goods ratio by work process was 79% in first step and 98% in the second step. In this process, a lot of fishery worker and working time is needed. Therefore, this study developed elemental techniques for an automated size sorting system considering the working process problem, time and situation for washing and sorting of ark shell.

Sanitary management with step-by-step working process and dietician's perception against them at 98 food service institutions located in Jeollabuk-Do were surveyed. Food service institutions included 13 hospitals, 38 schools,40 enterprises, and 7 others. Practice ratio of sanitary management items at purchasing and receiving step of food and food materials in food service institutions were 59.2-98.0%, and they were higher than those of other steps. In pre-treatment step, practice ratio of 'Undoing treatment of foods on the ground' in hospital was higher (53.8%) than those of enterprise (32.5%) and school (34.2%), and needed the improvement of pre-treatment procedure in enterprise and school. Practice ratio of all sanitary management items in cooking step were below 30%, and needed the improvement of cooking procedure. In storage step, the improvement of cooking procedure in school and enterprise were needed. Practice ratio of all sanitary management items in distribution step were low, and needed the improvement of this working procedure. However, in spite of low practice ratio on these items, dietician's perception against sanitary management items in all steps was low. Therefore, we estimated that the improvement of working processes and the conversion of dietician' perception on sanitary managements in food service institutions were needed.

The purpose of this study is to execute the investigation of injurious factors causing muscle-skeletal diseases at an automotive glass manufacturing company and, on the basis of the results, to enhance productivity by the improvement of working environment. By using an survey and an ergonomic evaluation method, symptoms of muscle-skeletal diseases of workers and working postures at each process were analyzed, and quantitative evaluation of muscle-skeletal disease risk against each process was performed. Based on the result of the evaluation, to enhance the working environment, improvement of worktable, working space, tools, and outfit was suggested, and induction of mechanical system was also suggested. Suggested improvement plan was applied to the workplace step by step and it is confirmed that improvement plan not only removes the injurious factors of muscle-skeletal diseases but also is effective to enhance productivity.

During sheet metal forming on a double-action press, drawbeads on the blankholder supply a restraining force which controls the flow of metal into the die. The sheet formability can be improved by the optimum drawbeads installation when the punch enters into the die opening. Experiments on the various drawbeads, circular, step, double circular, and circular-step drawbead, have been performed under various working conditions.

The Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) approach is a widely used statistical method for analyzing longitudinal data and clustered data in clinical studies. In dentistry, due to multiple outcomes obtained from one patient, the outcomes produced from an individual patient are correlated with one another. This study focused on the basic ideas of GEE and introduced the types of covariance matrix and working correlation matrix. The quasi-likelihood information criterion (QIC) and quasi-likelihood information criterion approximation ($QIC_u$) were used to select the best working correlation matrix and the best fitting model for the correlated outcomes. The purpose of this study is to show a detailed process for the GEE analysis using SPSS software along with an orthodontic miniscrew example, and to help understand how to use GEE analysis in dental research.

Laser thin film process with a Q-switch pulsed YAG laser was performed for micro machining. In this research, we performed basic Cr thin film on glass substrates removal machining experiments. Form experiments, it happens not only evaporration of thin film but also spatter and cohesion of melting substance in working region, when machining a Cr thin film by Q-switch YAG laser beam irradiation. Critical energy of surface irradiation type by irradiation direction of laser in a face composing thin film on the glass is higher than that of back irradiation type, but the latter is favorable because of spatter appearance. In case of image formation position when laser beam is irradiated, the defocus is permitted to a certain extent within forcus depth. Ifexceeds focus depth, formation of pattern is vanishing step by step.

The port, differently from general working places, is a closed area required for security, customs, and quarantine procedures. The loading and unloading is being done differently by ports, cargoes, and ships. To do loading and unloading, a lot of equipment and different types of labor are required, which flow is complicated and safe management is essential. As above mentioned the port is very unique and very deteriorated working place in its working environment. The purpose of this study is to propose ways to reduce and prevent from port accidents. As first step to do this, we have collected 923 accidents happened at Incheon Port during the period of 1994 to 2003. We have thoroughly analyzed characteristics, harmfulness, and risk of the loading/unloading they have done, as well as the accident frequency and relationship between the accidents. As second step to further analyze, We have employed DMAIC technology, an advanced process of 6 sigma presently in spotlight as the best program for management innovation. This analysis results in recognition of important accident characteristics, causes and effects analysis, critical causes of accident, and suggestions to decrease accidents.
