In this study, we implemented an unconstraint ECG monitoring system on a chair. Nowadays, modern people spend most of their time sitting on the chair. Therefore, it is necessary to have an unconstraint ECG monitoring system that can be used for a long time. The implemented system can perform measurement even with clothes on and it has great advantage on motion artifacts. A pair of unconstraint electrodes are placed on the back of the chair. Amplifier and filters are designed to remove motion artifacts, The baseline noise and power line noise are filtered and very low level of bio-signal is amplified to give a final measurement. Control unit and wireless transmission unit are implemented. Analog signal is converted into digital signal and transmits biological signal to the PC and the smart phone. Therefore continuous ECG monitoring in daily life is made possible. A comparison experiment between Ag / AgCl electrode and unconstraint electrode is conducted to evaluate the performance of the implemented system. As a result, we confirm our unconstraint system can be used for daily life ECG monitoring.

본 연구에서는 작업용 의자를 설계하고 평가하기 위한 한국인의 좌판과 등판의 형태 (contour) 모형을 제시하고자 한다. 신장, 앉은키, 몸무게, L5폭, T7폭 등을 측정하여 통계적으로 분석한 결과, 앉은키와 AC폭, 몸무게와 L5폭은 상관관계가 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 따라서, 사람의 좌판, 등판 접촉 형태를 측정하기 위해서 몸무게와 앉은키에 따라 각각 세 그룹으로 나누어 총 아홉 그룹으로 분류하였다. 자체 제작된 좌판과 등판의 접촉형태 측정기를 사용하여 각 그룹별로 측정점에 대한 계측을 통하여 형태자료를 수집하고, 통계분석을 통하여 한국인의 형태모형을 추출하고, 컴퓨터 그래픽을 이용하여 시각적 평가를 가능하게 하였다. 이를 통하여 작업용 의자의 성능 및 안락도 향상을 위한 체계적 접근방법을 제시하고, 평가에 있어서는 정량적인 척도를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

This paper presents a design of seat mechanism for multi-postures controllable wheelchair. The possible seat postures are reclining, tilting, standing, which are controlled by four seat mechanisms using four linear actuators. The seat mechanisms designed in this study are reclining, tilting, forward-tilting, and elevation mechanism. Three postures except standing are controlled by corresponding mechanisms, but the standing posture is performed by combination of the reclining and the forward-tilting mechanism. Posture control system is composed of PID controllers and a planner to determine a feasible posture based on a posture transition diagram. Simulation results show that the seat mechanism and its control system are applicable to a multi-postures controllable wheelchair.

The purpose of this study is the investigation of the physically handicapped childrens' residentical life, using furniture and opinion of auxiliary furniture ot find out alternative forms of desirable furniture. This study consists of two parts: a survey of residential life and furniture usage and a new chair design based on the survey. Documentary research, observational investigation and questionaire survey methods were used. According to the survey, a chair was chosen as the most needed piece of furniture. The alternative chair was designed to accomodate to the individual physical needs of each child. The structural charasteristics of the chair form consist of four parts: 1) basic seat 2) supporting metal frame 3) detachable chair legs 4) detachable table top. Auxilliary options include adjustable parts such as a head rest, seat belt, arm rest and pedestal.

일반인은 잘못된 자세를 곧잘 인식하지 못하고 관절에 악영향을 주기 쉽다. 이는 발병으로 이어질 가능성이 있기에, 이를 예방하고자 본 연구에서는 자세 교정 의자 시스템을 제안한다. 해당 시스템은 압력센서로 수집한 데이터를 애플리케이션으로 통신하여, 애플리케이션을 통해 사용자의 자세에 대한 피드백을 제공한다. 또한, 자세와 통증에 대한 통계로 사용자의 자세 교정 및 자가 진단을 돕는다.

This study investigates the effects of seat-design elements such as seating arrangement, shape, and height on speech privacy in high-speed trains. For the evaluation of speech privacy, acoustic simulation software was used to reproduce room acoustical conditions in passenger cars on the basis of in-situ measurement data. The influences of speech source directivity and source height on privacy distance ($r_P$) were investigated, and it was found that $r_P$ determined using an omni-directional source was relatively shorter than that determined using a directional source. It was also found that $r_P$ decreased when the source height was lower than the height of the seat-back because the seat-back blocked the propagation of speech from the sound source. The effect of seating arrangement was not significant when comparing the vis-a-vis seating and one-side seating arrangements. In addition, among the alternative seat-designs, the seats that block the space between the seats and cover the space near the ear were found to show significantly enhanced speech privacy in high-speed train passenger cars.

CAD라 함은 computer Aided Design의 약자로서, 종종 컴퓨터 지원설계로 번역되고 있다. 그리고, CAM도 computer Aided Manufacturing의 약자로서 컴퓨터 지원제조로 번역된다. 컴퓨터가 실용화되고 설계에의 이용이 가능해졌을 당시는 설계의 자동화(DA : Design Automation)에 대한 기대가 컸다. 그러나 현실로는, 설계자가 설계하는데 있어서 컴퓨터와 주변장치들을 가까이 두고 도구로 이용하게 되었으나, 그것은 주로 제한된 비교적 단순한 제품의자동설계로서, DA의 발전은 예상외로 제자리 걸음을 하고 있었다. 인간을 대신하여 컴퓨터에 설계를 시킨다는 것이 얼마나 어렵다는 것, 특히, 그와같은 Software 개발이 어럽다는 것을 인식하게 되었다. 그래서 <생각하는 일>과 <창조하는 일>과 같이 본래 인간의 본질적인 기능 에 속하는 것을 인간(설계자) 이 하고, <설계하는 일> <제도하는 일> 과 같은 기계적 인 일을 컴퓨터에 시키는 분업이 생각하게 되었다. 이것이 컴퓨터 지원설계(CAD)인 것이다. CAC에 있어서, 설계의 주역은 어디까지나 인간(설계자)에 있으며, 컴퓨터는 설계자의 기계적(비인간적)인 일을 도와주는 도구인 것이다. 이와같이 설계에 있어서 컴퓨터의 위치가 정의된다.

Recently Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Based on Independent Subspaces (MDOIS), an MDO (multidisciplinary design optimization) algorithm, has been proposed. In this research, an MDO problem is defined for design of a belt integrated seat considering crashworthiness, and MDOIS is applied to solve the problem. The crash model consists of an airbag, a belt integrated seat (BIS), an energy absorbing steering system, and a safety belt. It is found that the current design problem has two disciplines - structural nonlin- ear analysis and occupant analysis. The interdisciplinary relationship between the disciplines is identified and is addressed in the system analysis step in MDOIS. Interdisciplinary variables are belt load and stiffness of the seat, which are determined in system analysis step. The belt load is passed to the structural analysis subspace and stiffness of the seat back frame to the occupant analysis subspace. Determined design vari- ables in each subspace are passed to the system analysis step. In this way, the design process iterates until the convergence criterion is satisfied. As a result of the design, the weight of the BIS and Head Injury Crite- rion (HIC) of an occupant are reduced with specified constraints satisfied at the same time. Since the system analysis cannot be formulated in an explicit form in the current example, an optimization problem is formu - lated to solve the system analysis. The results from MDOIS are discussed.
