The new crown pneumonia (COVID-19) has become a global epidemic. The disease has spread to most countries and poses a challenge to the healthcare system. Contact tracing technology is an effective way for public health to deal with diseases. Many experts have studied traditional contact tracing and developed digital contact tracking. In order to better understand the field of contact tracking, it is necessary to analyze the development of contact tracking in the field of computer science by bibliometrics. The purpose of this research is to use literature statistics and topic analysis to characterize the research literature of contact tracking in the field of computer science, to gain an in-depth understanding of the literature development status of contact tracking and the trend of hot topics over the past decade. In order to achieve the aforementioned goals, we conducted a bibliometric study in this paper. The study uses data collected from the Scopus database. Which contains more than 10,000 articles, including more than 2,000 in the field of computer science. For popular trends, we use VOSviewer for visual analysis. The number of contact tracking documents published annually in the computer field is increasing. At present, there are 200 to 300 papers published in the field of computer science each year, and the number of uncited papers is relatively small. Through the visual analysis of the paper, we found that the hot topic of contact tracking has changed from the past "mathematical model," "biological model," and "algorithm" to the current "digital contact tracking," "privacy," and "mobile application" and other topics. Contact tracking is currently a hot research topic. By selecting the most cited papers, we can display high-quality literature in contact tracking and characterize the development trend of the entire field through topic analysis. This is useful for students and researchers new to field of contact tracking ai well as for presenting our results to other subjects. Especially when comprehensive research cannot be conducted due to time constraints or lack of precise research questions, our research analysis can provide value for it.

Generally, Hertz theory is used to analyze the contact problem of two bodies. It is simple derivation of solution in the contact part. And calculation time is short Moreover, it can mean well that many wear occurs relatively. However, material property becomes plastic deformation when large perpendicular pressure acts on a small contact surface product. In this case, Hertz theory is inapplicable. Therefore this thesis carried the finite element analysis in consideration of material elasticitystrain and the shape of the geometric from contact point. And it compared with Hertz theory that change of the contact surface and contact pressure.

Recently proposed control scheme for a stable teleoperation, which was based on two-port time-domain passivity approach[21], has been successful for a contact with high stiffness environments. However, we found several conservatisms during the contact with deformable environments and unconstrained motion. The two-port time-domain passivity controller was excessively dissipating energy even though it was not necessary for some cases of an unconstrained motion and soft contact. The main reason of those conservatisms was on the fact that the two-port time-domain passivity controller was activated without considering the amount of energy dissipation at the master and slave manipulators. Especially, the exclusion of the slave manipulator from the two-port was the dominant reason of the conservatisms. In this paper, we consider the amount of energy dissipation at slave manipulator for designing the time-domain passivity observer and controller. The measured interaction force between slave manipulator and environment allow the time-domain passivity observer to include the amount of energy dissipation at the slave manipulator. Based on the modified passivity observer, reference energy following method[24] is applied to satisfy the passivity condition in real-time. The feasibility of the developed methods is proved with experiments. Improved performance is obtained for an interaction with deformable environments and an unconstrained motion.

The wettability of silicon carbide (SiC) crystal, which has 6H-SiC and 4H-SiC regions prepared using the physical vapor transport (PVT) method, is quantitatively analyzed using dispensed deionized (DI) water droplets. Regardless of the polytypes in SiC, the average of five contact angle measurements showed a difference of about 6° between the Si-face and C-face. The contact angle on the Si-face (C-face) is measured after the removal of the native oxide using BOE (6:1), and revealed a significant decrease of the contact angle from 74.9° (68.4°) to 47.7° (49.3°) and from 75.8° (70.2°) to 51.6° (49.5°) for the 4H-SiC and 6H-SiC regions, respectively. The contact angle of the Si-face recovered over time during room temperature oxidation in air; in contrast, that of the C-face did not recover to the initial value. This study shows that the contact angle is very sensitive to SiC surface polarity, specific surface conditions, and process time. Contact angle measurements are expected to be a rapid way of determining the surface polarity and wettability of SiC crystals.

We propose a new contact detection algorithm for fine pitch wire bonding. Fast and stable contact detection of the z-axis in wire bonding is extremely important to maintain the quality of fine pitch gold wire bonding processes, which use a small pad less than $70{\mu}m$ in diameter. A small perturbation in the contact detection time causes a large difference in the size of the formed squashed ball. The new detection method is based on a statistical approach and designed for a discrete Kalman filter. It is faster and has smaller detection time variations than conventional detection methods. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed algorithm.

In bus delay-tolerant networks, the route of bus is determinate but its arrival time is indeterminate. However, most conventional approaches predict future contact without considering its uncertainty, which makes a limitation on routing performance. A novel approach is proposed by employing interval algebra to characterize the contact's uncertainty and time-varying nature. The contact is predicted by using the Bayesian estimation to achieve a better routing performance. Simulation results show that this approach achieves a good balance between delivery latency and delivery ratio.

This paper deals wi th the establishment of the method of non-contact surface roughness measurement by developed system. One of the most Important factor of determinating quality of a produced manufacture is surface roughness The tendency of manufacturing method is changing from small amount manufactures / high-volume production to large amount manufactures / low volume production, and the study of reducing time for surface roughness measurement has been actively investigated The non-contact surface roughness method by using laser which is different from contact method has been only used to the polished surface, so new surface roughness measurement method was adopted by virtue of Fraunhofer diffraction in the periodic surface for on-the-machine. in this paper, we establish the method of non-contact surface roughness measurement which can reduce measuring time in the periodic surface

In this study, the optimal condition of surface treatment for aluminum panel was determined by measuring the contact angle and T-peel strength. The contact angle was measured for various mixture ratios of acetylene gas and nitrogen gas. The mixture (acetylene gas to nitrogen gas) ratios used were 1:9, 3:7, 5:5, 7:3, and 9:1. The contact angle was also measured as a function of time of surface treatment. The results showed that the contact angle was a minimum for mixture ratio of 5:5. T-peel strength was a maximum for the treatment time of 30 second.

Conventional methods for railway vehicle dynamic analysis have mostly relied on the approximate method based on 2-dimensional contact analysis. Recently, 3-dimensional approaches to achieve an accurate solution for wheel-rail contact analysis have been proposed, but are not practical to apply to actual simulation due to time-consuming processes. The main focus of this study is to present a new method of railway vehicle dynamic analysis by calculating wheel-rail contact forces based on efficient 3-dimensional wheel-rail contact analysis. A 3-dimensional wheel-rail contact analysis and numerical analysis of wheelset dynamic equations will be presented.

A dynamic explicit finite element code for simulating sheet forming processes has been developed The code utilises the discrete Kirchhoff shell element and contact force is treated by a conventional penalty method. In order to reduce the computational cost a new and robust contact searching algorithm has been developed and implemented into the code. in the method a hierarchical structure of tool segments called a tree structure is built for each tool at the initial stage of the analysis Tree is built in a way to divide a trunk to 8 sub-trunk 2 in each direction until the lowest level of the tree(leaf) contains exactly one segment of the tool. In order to have a well-balanced tree each box on each sub level contains one eighth of the segments. Then at each time step contact line from a node comes out of the surface of the tool. Simulation of various sheet forming processes were performed to verify the validity of the developed code with main focus on he usefulness of the developed contact searching algorithm.
