Home service robot must recognize and build map for indoor and components of the house such as furniture and chair etc. The previous researcher has developed a indoor map building system by using CCD camera and ultra sonic sensor. %no stems have some problem in such a way that (1) a distun resolution can be changed according to the number of pixel when we use a CCD camera system, (2) a measured distance can be decreased when it transmitted to the rubber because of being absorbed the sound energy. This paper represents an intelligent sensor controller of module has been developed by using optic PSD(Position Sensitive Detector) sensor any at a low price. To deduce the switching noise from beam power module and diffused reflection noise, we proposed a heuristic soft filter. The performance of the developed system was compared with ultra sonic sensor system by detecting the indoor wall environment. Some experiments were illustrated for the validity of the developed system.

Social participation of the elderly and people with disabilities continuously becomes more active due to improvement of social systems and technological development. Various assistive systems, such as intelligence robots and intelligence home systems, have been developed to support the social participation, and obviously contributed to independent lives of the elderly and people with disabilities. These systems, however, usually require expensive special hardware. To relieve a financial burden software-oriented approaches, which utilizes existing hardware such as laptops, can be an alternative. The software should be developed considering users with physical limitation and without much knowledge of computers. This paper suggests software-oriented approaches to solve these problems and describes an actual development procedure of the software with related theories. We also introduce an unified user interface for a special work chair as a real application.

The 3D printing selective laser sintering (SLS) and stereo lithography apparatus (SLA) method used for bone model production has good precision and resolution, but the printers are expensive and need professional knowledge for operation. The program that converts computed tomography digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) file into STL (stereolithography) file is also expensive so requesting 3D printing companies takes a lot of time and cost, which is why they are not generally utilized in surgery. To produce bone models of fractured patients, the use of 3D imaging conversion program and 3D printing system should be convenient, and the cost of device and operation should be low. Besides, they should be able to produce big size bone models for application to surgery. Therefore, by using an fused deposition modeling (FDM) method 3D printer that uses thermoplastic materials such as DICOM Viewer OsiriX and plastic wires, this study developed 3D printing system for Fracture surgery Patients customized bone model production for many clinics to use for surgery of fracture patients by universalizing with no limit in printing sizes and low maintenance and production cost. It is expected to be widely applied to the overall areas of orthopedics' education, research and clinic. It is also expected to be conveniently used in not only university hospitals but also regular general hospitals.

In this study, we examined the distribution of dealers and the repair parts management system of a Japanese car manufacturer in the Chinese market in looking at the case of Toyota. We conducted our research by obtaining information from a GAC Toyota dealer about the current distribution of dealers and locations of warehouses throughout China, as well as the status of stocks and the distribution system for repair and maintenance parts. The results of our investigation showed that although GAC Toyota has 437 dealers throughout the country, there is an imbalance in distribution towards the coastal areas, after the population ratios and other measurements are factored in. Therefore, it can be said expansion towards the inland regions, where demand for automobiles has increased in recent years, has been stunted. On the other hand, there is a high correlation between gross GDP by region and the number of stores, and it can be pointed out that the company prioritizes the sale of high-priced vehicles in major coastal areas where the economy is large, rather than selling low-priced vehicles for inland consumers with a relatively small economic scale. The company also has difficulty in securing dealers that can provide sufficient after-sales service. According to the regulations of GAC Toyota, the company require dealers to have at least 1,500 repair and maintenance parts in stock. Also, when exchanging maintenance parts, GAC Toyota's emphasis is on increasing customer satisfaction by giving sufficient explanations for customers and obtaining consent from them. As a result, the company's dealers need financial resources to continue their business from a long-term perspective. However, it can be pointed out that such dealers are limited, and it is difficult to distribute profits among manufacturers and dealers.

반도체 소자나 디스플레이 패널 제조 공정에 가장 많이 사용되는 진공 펌프인 터보 분자 펌프는 오일을 사용하지 않고, 설치 방향이 자유로우며 넓은 작동 압력 영역을 가지고 있어서 고가임에도 불구하고 점점 더 사용 영역을 넓혀 가고 있다. 상하의 두 곳에 회전축을 지지하는 베어링이 필요한데, 기계식 금속 베어링을 채용하는 경우에는 반드시 윤활유를 공급해 주어야 하고, 고온, 부식성 또는 산화성 가스의 배기 시에는 퍼지 가스로 비활성인 질소나 알곤등을 이용하여 보호를 해주어야 한다. 반면, 자기 베어링을 채택한 모델은 윤활의 걱정에서 자유로울 수 있기 때문에 채용이 늘어나고 있다. 동일극의 반발력이나 반대극의 인상력을 이용한 구조를 갖게 되는데 갑작스러운 입구 쪽 압력의 증가 시에는 자석 끼리 부딪치는 일이 발생하고 이로 인해서 로터 모듈 전체에 큰 손상을 갖게 되므로 한 곳 정도에 비상용 터치 다운 베어링을 기계식으로 윤활제 없이 설치하기도 한다. 기본적으로 자기 베어링 방식은 로터 모듈의 부상과 제어를 위해서 3축 또는 5축 제어를 하게 되는데 여기에는 전자석의 전류를 미세하게 조정하여 피드백 하는 시스템을 활용하기 때문에 외부에서의 자기장이 일정값 이상 침투하게 되면 제어 회로의 기능에 문제를 일으키게 된다. 또한 축 방향에 수직인 자기장의 강도가 높아지면 고속으로 회전하는 금속 블레이드가 자속을 자르게 되므로 표면에 와전류가 발생하여 문제가 된다. 터보 분자 펌프는 회전자와 고정자 간격이 1 mm 이내로 작아서 약간의 진동이라도 발생하면 회전자와 고정자 간에 충돌이 일어나고 이는 곧 파손으로 이어진다. 그림 1에는 파손 원인 분석을 위한 회전자 모듈의 수치 해석용 모델의 일부를 나타내었고, 그림 2에는 실제로 외부 자기장에 의한 파손이 발생한 사례의 자기 베어링 모듈의 사진을 나타내었다. 본 발표에서는 외부 자기장의 형태에 따라 제어 자기장에 미치는 영향을 CFD-ACE+(ESI corp)를 활용하여 해석하였다.

AGVs are more and more utilized nowadays and magnetic guided AGVs are most widely used because their system has low cost and high speed. But this type of AGVs requires high infrastructure building cost and has poor flexibility of navigation path layout changing. Thus it is hard to applying this type of AGVs to a small quantity batch production system or a cooperative production system with many AGVs. In this paper, we propose a vision based guideline interpretation technique that uses the cheap, easily installable and changeable color tapes (or paint) as a guideline. So a vision-based AGV with color tapes is effectively applicable to the production systems. For easy setting and changing of AGV navigation path, we suggest an automatic method for interpreting a complex guideline layout including multi-branches and joins of branches. We also suggest a trace direction decision method for stable navigation of AGVs. Through several real-time navigation tests with an industrial AGV installed with the suggested technique, we confirmed that the technique is practically and stably applicable to real industrial field.

In order to overcome the 21st century's challenges such as national energy supply security, global warming, and resource depletion, we are struggling to accelerate the paradigm shift in our life style from fossil fuel-based economy to biomass-based economy. In the context of sustainable bioeconomy revitalization, we comprehensively review the development status of the biorefinery as a system for bioenergy/biochemicals co-products on the basis of the various categories according to six criteria.
