Measurement or estimation of tilt angle is necessary for balancing robot such as Segway which is considered as a next generation transportation vehicle. However, it requires high-cost accurate sensors to hold balancing during stationary and moving situations. In this paper, a tilt angle estimation of a plane rotating in a vertical plane using low-cost sensors. Estimation using a set of 2-axis orthogonal accelerometers along with an inaccurate rate gyro has been considered. Feasibility and performance of the proposed technique has been verified through some experimental results.

High speed machining is a key issue in die and mold manufacturing recently. Even though this technology has great potential of high productivity. tool wear accelerated by high cutting speed to the hardened materials is other barrier. In this research, we attempted to reduce tool wear by considering tool inclination angle between tool and workpiece. The boundary lines describing machined sculptured surfaces were represented by both of cutting envelop condition and the geometric relationship of successive tool paths. Chip cross section, and cutting length could be obtained from the calculated cutting edge and the rotational engagement angle. From the simulation results, machining inclination angle of tool of $15^\circ$ was good enough from the point of tool wear and cutting force, and this value was verified through the cutting experiment of high speed ball end milling.

This paper proposes a tilt sensor made by MEMS technology. The sensor consists of an electrode glass a small mercury drop a circular channel and a cover glass. The mercury drop is used as medium of a current flow and in contact with two circular chromel electrodes used as an angular-motion resistance When this sensor inclines the mercury drop inside the circular channel moves into the bottom under the influence of gravity. A tilt angle can be measured by changed resistance as tilting this sensor, This sensor has a linear section between +50.$^{\circ}$ and -50.$^{\circ}$ with the accuracy of 2.$^{\circ}$. We are also studying about the enlargement of the linear section and the effect of the size of the mercury drop.

Bed material in natural streams is affected by geological characteristics of upstream and acting focre by flow of stream. Acting force in streams are also affected by bed slope and discharge of streams. Yamamoto(1994) suggested that channel reaches with similar slope share similar characteristics values in representative bed material size, tractive force, channel width and depth. He also suggested that main factors dominating channel characteristics are mean annual discharge, epresentative bed material size and bed slope. Bed material shows physical and ecological characteristics of channels. In this research, characteristics of bed material in natural or close to natural streams were studied and compared with Janpanese stream data. In the result, characteristics of gravel and sand material can be presented in the term of non-dimensional tractive force, bed slope and bed material size.

천수방정식과 같은 쌍곡선형 미분방정식의 불연속 해에 대한 Riemann 해법은, 1950년대 말 공기동역학 분야에서 S. K. Godunov의 선구적인 시도 이후, 다양한 영역에서 성공적으로 적용되고 있다. 당초 제안된 해법은 공간에 대해 1차 정도였으나, 2차의 정도를 얻을 수 있는 기법이 1970년대 말 B. van Leer에 의해 제안되었으며, MUSCL로 불린다. 서로 인접한 격자의 보존변수가 고려된 경사가 도입되어 두 격자에 의해 공유되는 변의 좌 우에서 선형으로 보존변수가 재구축되는 MUSCL은 제한자와 함께 이용될 때, 구조 격자 체계에서 비교적 단순하면서도 효과적인 적용성이 입증되었다. 그런데, 이 기법을 2차원의 비구조 격자 체계에 적용하는 경우, 인접한 모든 격자의 보존변수를 고려한 평면의 경사를 결정해야 하는 어려움이 따른다. 특히, 삼각형 비구조 격자에 적용할 경우 최적의 평면을 결정하기 위해 Green-Gauss 적분식이나 최소-자승법 등을 이용하게 된다. 이에 비해, 2010년 T. Buffard와 S. Clain이 제안한 다중경사 기법은 격자의 각 변에서 경사가 각각 결정되는 방법으로 계산량이 많은 Green-Gauss 적분식이나 최소자승법을 피할 수 있는 장점이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 정확해가 알려진 두 경우에 대해 몇 가지 제한자를 적용한 결과를 1차 정도의 해와 함께 비교하였으며, superbee 제한자에 의한 결과가 우수하였으나, 희유파와 충격파가 맞닿는 곳에서 수치 분산이 나타났다. minmod 제한자의 결과가 대체로 무난하였으며, 이를 2차원 댐 붕괴 문제에 적용하여 1차 정도의 해와 비교하였다. 마찰이 없고 초기 수심이 댐 상류에서 10 m, 하류에서 5 m로서 물이 차 있는 경우, 1차 정도의 해에서 나타나는 수치 소산이 2차 정도에서는 발생되지 않았다. 댐 하류에서 초기에 수심이 영으로 바닥이 드러난 경우에서 마찰의 영향을 검토하였다. 마찰이 있는 경우, 마찰 경사 항의 Manning 계수를 0.04로 두었으며, 마찰에 의한 영향이 잘 드러났다. 수심이 50 mm 보다 작은 경우에는 마찰을 적용하지 않았다. 이 연구는 환경부 '차세대 핵심환경기술개발 사업'의 지원에 의한 것이다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the changes in height and inclination of the articular eminence during the growth period. Methods: One hundred and sixty subjects (71 males and 89 females) with a normal skeletal pattern and TMJ function, ranging in age from 5.9 to 19.7 years were divided according to their chronological age into six groups. Lateral individualized corrected TMJ tomograms were taken of all subjects, and the height and inclination of the articular eminence were measured. UNIANOVA was used to compare the differences between the age groups. Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the differences between male and female subjects. Results: The height and the inclination of the articular eminence were increased and became steeper with age, and the height and the inclination were larger in male than in female subjects. Conclusions: Dynamic changes in the height and the inclination of the articular eminence were observed during the growth period, therefore a full understanding of the growth of the articular eminence is important for orthodontic and orthopedic treatment in this period.

In case of inclined crest groyne, flow constriction with water is different. Therefore, it is proper to apply to narrow channel or there is a risk of overflow with water level rising caused by installation of groynes. This study were conducted experiments on inclined crest groyne. Main factors of inclined crest groyne are angles of crests slope and changes of water level. Velocity profile around groyne was measured by LSPIV (Large Scale Particle Image Velocimetry). Flow fields around groyne were analyzed focused on main channel and recirculation area. From the results, Thalweg change has little an effect on rate length and height of recirculation rises on increasing rate length. Length of recirculation area was about 12$\sim$16 times of rate length of groyne. Maximum velocity in main channel area was measured about 1.45$\sim$2.1 times of approach velocity and has little an effect on crest angle of groyne. Back water velocity recirculation area was decreased on approach velocity. This result presents to make stable flow to bank protection.

This research experimented on the change of the multiple colleague scan angle facing one scan object facet to many directions of the form of 3D about the visual angle nervous system forming the cubic distribution with the gradient magnetic field of the mri system and considered the existing basic angle oblique direction test coverage and comparison. MR system can freely select various pulse sequence and image slice. To oblique imaging for optic nerve viewing, we have studied the variation of scan angle between typical oblique scan method (sagittal-coronal plane) and multi directional angles oblique scan method (sagittal-coronal-axial plane) using gradient of MR system. In this study, the subjects of the experiment were normal adults in our country. As a result, we confirmed that multi directional angles oblique scan method can display anatomical information of more wider area than typical oblique scan method. In addition, to clearly display optic nerve, we also confirmed that image slice thickness and pulse sequence have effect on it.
