Objective: The arm swing is associated with gait ability in healthy young adults. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of arm swing during gait in healthy young adults. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Forty-five subjects without any orthopedic or neurological injuries participated in this study. All subjects performed all three conditions according to the arm swing type as follows: first procedure (condition 1), walking as usual without arm swing constraint; second procedure (condition 2), constraint of dominant arm swing walking as usual; third procedure (condition 3), constraint of both arm swing walking as usual. Gait parameters such as gait velocity, stride length, cadence, step time, single limb support, and double limb support were measured in all arm swing conditions performed randomly, with the mean value obtained from three measurements. A rest period of 5 minutes was given to prevent repetition of each condition and learning effect. All data was analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA to notice the changes between arm swing conditions. Results: Within walking conditions, significant difference of gait velocity, stride length, cadence, and double limb support was noticed (p<0.05), except step time and single limb support. Gait velocity and stride length were significant reduced, and in cadence and double limb support were increased (p<0.05). Condition 3 had the most significant decrease of gait ability compared with condition 1 (p<0.05). Conclusions: These finding suggested that constraint arm swing conditions reduced gait ability in healthy young adults. Also, these findings can be utilized as a reference to future studies that not only pelvic, knee and ankle, but also upper limb affect to gait ability.

본 논문에서는 단일 카메라로부터 입력된 2차원 측면 골프 스윙 비디오 영상으로부터 사람의 개입 없이 스윙을 자동으로 분석하는 방법을 제안하였다. 2차원 환경에서 스윙 자동분석에 필요한 특징들을 정의 및 추출하고, 에지 검출과 직선 추출을 비롯한 다양한 영상처리 기법을 이용하여 자동 스윙 분석 방법을 제시 하였다. 기존 스윙분석 시스템이나 관련 연구들과 비교하여 제안한 방법은 다음과 같은 두 가지 특징을 갖는다. 첫째, 기존의 스윙 자동분석이 상대적으로 복잡하고 고가인 3차원 환경에서만 가능하였지만 제안한 방법은 2차원 환경에 서도 가능하다. 둘째, 기존의 2차원 스윙분석 시스템들은 골프 전문가에 의한 분석이 필요하지만 제안한 방법은 사람의 개입 없이 자동적으로 이루어지므로 사용이 편리하다. 제안한 스윙특징 추출 및 분석 방법을 20장의 스윙영상에 대하여 실험한 결과, 제안한 방법이 스윙 특징 추출 및 분석에 유용함을 확인하였다.

The purposes of this study were to investigate kinematic parameters of racket head and upper extremities during squash back hand stroke and to provide quantitative data to the players. Five Korean elite male players were used as subjects in this study. To find out the swing motion of the players, the land-markers were attached to the segments of upper limb and 3-D motion analysis was performed. Orientation angles were also computed for angular movement of each segment. The results were as follows. 1) the average time of the back hand swing (downswing + follow-through) was 0.39s (0.24 s + 0.15 s). 2) for each event, the average racket velocity at impact was 11.17m/s and the velocity at the end of swing was 8.03m/s, which was the fastest swing speed after impact. Also, for each phase, 5.10m/s was found in down swing but 7.68m/s was found in follow-through. Racket swing speed was fastest after the impact but the swing speed was reduced in the follow-through phase. 3) in records of average of joints angle, shoulder angle was defined as the relative angle to the body. 1.04rad was found at end of back swing, 1.75rad at impact and it changes to 2.35 rad at the end of swing. Elbow angle was defined as the relative angle of forearm to upper arm. 1.73rad was found at top of backswing, 2.79rad at impact, and the angle was changed to 2.55rad at end of swing. Wrist angle was defined as the relative angle of hand to forearm. 2.48rad was found at top of backswing, 2.86rad at impact, and the angle changes to 1.96rad at end of swing. As a result, if the ball is to fly in the fastest speed, the body has to move in the order of trunk, shoulder, elbow and wrist (from proximal segment to distal segment). Thus, the flexibility of the wrist can be very important factor to increase ball speed as the last action of strong impact. In conclusion, the movement in order of the shoulder, elbow and the wrist decided the racket head speed and the standard deviations were increased as the motion was transferred from proximal to the distal segment due to the personal difference of swing arc. In particular, the use of wrist (snap) may change the output dramatically. Therefore, it was concluded that the flexible wrist movement in squash was very important factor to determine the direction and spin of the ball.

This paper investigated the real-time generator swing prediction by some researchers. And the first swing stability assessment based on EAC(Equal-Area Criterion) by using phasor measurement unit is proposed. Also we proposed the multi-swing prediction techniques, which is to estimate system parameters by using least square method / extrapolation with phasor measurement units. And the multi-swing prediction is performed with the estimated parameters. Future works are necessary to verify the proposed approaches in this paper.

A polishing machine adopting a new unique structural mechanism has been developed, named as a swing-arm type polishing machine. The mechanism is such that the tool path tracks on a spherical surface, of which the diameter is adjusted by setting up the machine mechanism properly. It has a strong benefit especially for polishing axis-symmetric concave mirror surfaces. The swing-arm type polishing machine with 5-axes has been designed in order to polish a concave mirror surface lip to diameter of 2 meters. The drawings are made using 3D CAD and strain-stress analysis has been done by finite element method. AC servo-motor has been used to move the swing arm and a operating software has been developed using a LapVIEW tool. Result of the test run was satisfactory which convinces the usefulness of the swing-arm type polishing machine.

In general, the swing motion of the crane is controlled and suppressed by activating the trolley motion. In this paper, we suggest a new type of anti-sway control system of the crane. In the proposed control system, a small auxiliary mass(moving-mass) is installed on the spreader and the swing motion is controlled by moving the auxiliary mass. The actuator reaction against the auxiliary mass applies inertial control forces to the container to reduce the swing motion in the desired manner. In this paper, we apply the $H_{\infty}$ based control technique to the anti-sway control system design problem. And the experimental result shows that the proposed control system is shown to be useful and robust to disturbances like winds and initial sway motion.

본 연구에서는 에탄올-n-헵탄 이성분계 공비 혼합물의 분리를 위해 압력변환 증류공정(pressure-swing distillation, PSD)을 사용하여 전산모사 및 공정 최적화를 진행하였다. 저압-고압 컬럼 배열과 고압-저압 컬럼 배열을 통해 고순도 에탄올과 고순도 n-헵탄을 얻기 위한 압력변환 증류공정을 수행하였다. 전산모사 결과, 저압-고압 컬럼 배열 공정보다 고압-저압 컬럼 배열 공정을 사용할 경우 heat duty 값이 약 5.8% 정도 감소되어 에너지 소모량 면에서 더 경제적임을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, a new fuzzy-logic anti-swing control scheme is proposed for a three-dimensional overhead crane. The proposed control consists of a position servo control and a fuzzy-logic control. The position servo control is used to control the trolley position and rope length, and the fuzzy-logic control is used to suppress load swing. The proposed control guarantees not only prompt suppression of load swing but also accurate control of trolley position and rope length for the simultaneous travel, traverse, and hoisting motions of the crane. The effectiveness of the proposed control is shown by experiments with a prototype three-dimensional overhead crane.

In this paper, we propose the method and development of custom-made golf insole recommender system to optimize the foot balance during golf swing. This system development procedures are as follows : (1) Using the measured data of the golf swing, the analysis of the individual golf hitting and balance will be done. (2) Based on the analysis results, the system will recommend the golf custom-made insole to optimize the individual balance using recommender algorithm. (3) After the golf custom-made insole is recommended, the modeling and design of the recommended insole is processed. Golf custom-made insole will be possible to reduce the excessive shaking and increase the lower-body supporting force. Therefore, we have expected that the recommended insole will improve the swing results through the optimization of golf swing balance. In the future, it is necessary to secure the higher validity and reliability through the more diverse experiments and research.
