This research is first to analyze an electomygram reaction of the lower limbs among the muscles used during a back-round kicking of Taekwondo, second to analyze the relationship between the muscles of the kicking limb and those of the supporting limb, third to compare EMG activity of expert with novice. Measured muscles are as follows; rectus fermoris which control flexion and stretching of femora and knee joints, vastus medialis and vastus lateralis, which control flexion and stretching of legs, and biceps fermoris, which control stretching of femora, bending of knee joints and abduction of the crus. The electomygram reaction of all these selected muscles were analyzed. Three kicks were performed, and electomygram of each of kicks were measured. Then, electomygram reaction of the best kick was used for electomygram analysis.

3D 입체영상 변환 기술은 콘텐츠 확보의 측면에서 그 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 하지만 입체변환 기술은 매 프레임마다 모두 수작업을 거치기 때문에 다수의 인력과 오랜 작업 시간이 필요하여 생산성 문제가 발생하고 있다. 그 중 깊이영상의 외곽선을 벡터 곡선으로 그리는 작업이 수작업을 통해 이루어지고 있으며 오랜 작업시간이 걸리게 한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 입체영상 변환 과정의 자동화율을 높이기 위한 깊이영상 양자화 및 베지어 곡선 생성 방법을 제안한다. 연속적인 깊이값을 갖는 깊이영상을 입력으로 받아 선형 또는 비선형 기반의 양자화 방법을 이용하여 깊이영상을 양자화 한다. 이 때 경계부분에 발생하는 페더를 제거하여 양자화 깊이영상의 경계를 보정한다. 양자화 깊이영상에서 같은 깊이를 잇는 등심선을 생성하고 방향 변화가 큰 지점인 굴곡점들을 추출하여 등심선을 다수의 곡선으로 구분한다. 각 곡선의 양 끝의 굴곡점과 그 사이의 중간점을 이용하여 3차 베지어 곡선의 제어 포인트를 계산한다. 같은 수행 단계를 모든 등심선에 적용하여 사용자가 미세보정하기 쉬운 3차 베지어 곡선들을 생성한다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안하는 기법의 우수성을 확인하였다.

Existing Bayesian update method using ultrasonic sensors only for mobile robot map building has a problem of the quality of map being degraded in the wall with irregularity, which is caused by the wide beam distribution. For improving this problem, an infrared sensors aided map building method is presented in this paper. Information of obstacle at each region in ultrasonic sensor beam is acquired using the infrared sensors and the information is used to get the confidence of ultrasonic sensor information via fuzzy inference system and genetic algorithm. Combining the resulting confidence with the result of Bayesian update method, an improve map is constructed. The proposed method showed good results in the simulations and experiments.

Case of patients with weakness in cardiopulmonary system, other ambulatory function is normal, but oxygen supply function is problem. So they need reduce energy consumption for gait by assistance system. In this study, we designed and developed walking assistant device which helps flexion and extension of hip joint for cardiopulmonary patients. There are two motors, each at the left and right side of pelvis, providing torque to the hip joint. The target angle of the flexion and extension in the hip joint is set according to the normal gait. As a result, reduction of energy consumption was 14.8% by gait assistive device.

The purpose of this study is to prove the increase of range of motion of shoulder joint in the patients with shoulder adhesive capsulitis by applying the vibratory stimulation. In terms of subjects of the study, the experimental group 15(4 male, 11 female)and the control group 15(5 male, 10 female) were divided. The measurement of the shoulder range of motion was taken by measuring the degrees of flexion, abduction, and external rotation with a goniometer from pre treatment to one to four weeks. The results were as follows : In the experimental group and control group, there was the statistical significance in the range of motion of the shoulder flexion, abduction, and external rotation during four weeks. In summary, the vibratory stimulation are effective interventions for improving shoulder adhesive capsulitis, patient's range of motion of shoulder joint.

The effects of catalyst, accelerator and blend composition on the cure behavior of unsaturated polyester resin (UPE), vinyl ester resin (VE) and their blends were studied using differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). The DSC thermograms strongly depend on each variable. The result shows that the small exothermic peak at 115$^{\circ}C$ is due mainly to the UPE component in the UPE/VE blends and the large one at 134~138 $^{\circ}C$ is due mainly to the VE component. The results also indicate that the change of the DSC thermogram measured after each blend was exposed to high temperature 18$0^{\circ}C$ and the fast curing conditions of a few tens seconds provide useful information on understanding the thermal processing of a blend at high speed. The measurements of resin flow time represent that there are three distinct stages of cure in the UPE/VE blends: induction, transition and macro-gelation stages, as similarly reported for UPE by others earlier. The thermal stability and flexural properties of the cured UPE are significantly improved by blending it with the VE, depending on the composition.

목적 : 요통 환자에서 Modified-Modified Schober Test (MMST)와 관절 운동 범위를 비교하여 시각 통증 등급 평가에 있어서 타당도의 우위를 추정하여 보고자 하였다. 방법 : 요통으로 입원한 31명의 환자들을 대상으로 MMST, 관절 운동 범위 및 시각 통증 등급을 주 3회씩 입원 기간 동안 측정하였다. 각 측정 방법의 시행 순서는 무작위로 선택되었으며, 환자들은 맨발로 환자복을 입은 채 측정하였다. 결과 : 각 자료의 상관성을 분석하기 위하여 피어슨 상관계수가 사용되었다. 요추의 MMST 측정값(r=-0.61 ; 99%CI)이 요추의 신전 및 굴곡의 관절 운동 범위 측정값보다 시각 통증 등급에 통계적으로 의미 있게 나타났다. 또한 요추의 MMST 측정값(r= -0.77 ; 99%CI)은 요추의 신전 관절 운동 범위 측정값보다 요추의 굴곡 관절 운동 범위 측정값과 통계적으로 의미 있게 나타났다. 결론 : 이상의 결과를 통하여 요통 환자의 평가에 있어서 MMST가 관절 운동 범위보다 높은 타당도를 가지는 것으로 추정된다.

Micro-tow deformation during forming of PVC foam-fabric composite sandwich structure is investigated to find out the correlation between forming condition and material deformation. The foams used in this research are PVC foams which have 4 different densities and the fabric composite is Carbon/epoxy prepreg which is plain weave (3k) as a skin material. Tow parameters such as crimp angle and tow amplitude are measured using microscope and a proper image tool and are compared with each other. In order to find out the effect of foam deformation during forming on tow deformation the compressive tests of foams are performed in three different environmental temperatures ($25^{\circ}C$, $80{\circ}C$, $125^{\circ}C$). The microscopic observation results show that the micro tow deformations are quite different from each other with respect to the foam density and forming pressure.

In this paper, elastic behavior of woven fabric composites with various fiber yarn structure were predicted through a theoretical calculation model. A representative volume elements (RVE) that can represent the mechanical properties of the woven composites were selected and crimp angle of the weave yarn was defined by several sinusoidal functions. The effective material properties of the woven composite such as young's modulus, shear modulus and poisson's ratio was predicted by classical laminate theory (CLT). The fiber volume fractions were calculated according to the shape and pattern (plain, twill weave) of the fiber yarn, and the elastic behavior of each woven composite was obtained through a theoretical calculation model. Also, to verify the theoretical predictions, woven composite specimens of plain and twill weave were fabricated by vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process and then mechanical test was conducted. As a results, a good correlation between theoretical and experimental results for the elastic behavior of woven composites could be achieved.

In this paper, an inverted-triangle patch UWB antenna with an uneven ground planes and an inverted T-slot for 5 GHz WLAN band rejection is presented. The operating bandwidth of the proposed antenna fed with the CPW line is expanded from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz for about -10 dB return loss using three angular parameters correlated to the main patch and the ground plane. The fabricated antenna on Taconic RF-60A substrate with 6.16 relative dielectric constant and 0.64 mm thickness has a main antenna patch size of 36 mm${\times}$19.5 mm. The measured results show return losses of about -10 dB and nearly omni-directional radiation patterns. The proposed UWB antenna has advantages of easily adjustable impedance characteristics by the three angular parameters and easily accomplishable band rejection characteristics by the inverted T-slot.
