  • This paper presents a development of high accuracy aligner and describes a method to find the orientation of a substantially circular disk shaped wafer with at least one flat region on an edge thereof. In the developed system, the wafer is spun one 360 degree turn on a chuck and the edge position is measured by a linear array to obtain a set of data points at various wafer orientation. The rotation axis may differ from wafer center by an unknown eccentricity. The flat angle is found by fitting a cosine curve to the actual data to obtain a deviation. The maximum deviation is then corrected for errors due to a finite number of data points and wafer eccentricity by calculating an adjustment angle from data points on the wafer fiat. After determining the flat angle the wafer is spun to the desired orientation. The wafer eccentricity can be calculated from four of the data points located away from the flat edge region. and the wafer is then centered.

  • The parallel trabutary signals in the SDH-based transmission system have the frame phase skew due to uneven transmission delays in the data and the clock path. This phase skew must be eliminated prior to synchronously multiplexing process. A new twenty-four channel, 51.84Mb/s DFPA(Digital Frame Phase Aligner) has been designed and fabricated in 0.8.mu.m CMOS gate array. This unique device phase-aligns the skewed input signals with refernce frame synchronous signal and reference clok for subsequent synchronous multiplexing process. the performance of fabricated device is evaluated by the STM-16 transmission system and DS-3 meansurement set. The frame phase margin of +2/-3 bit periods has been demonstrated.

  • Optical fiber is indispensable for optical communication systems that transmit large volumes of data at high speed, but super precision technology in sub-micron units is required for optical axis adjustment. We developed the automatic optical fiber by image processing and automatic loading system. we have developed 6-axis micro stage system for I/O optical fiber arrays, the initial automatic aligning system software for a input optical array by the image processing technique, fast I/O-synchronous aligning strategy, the automatic loading/unloading system and the automatic UV bonding mechanism. In order to adjust the alignment it used on PC based motion controller, a $10{\mu}m$ repeat-detailed drawing of automatic loading system is developed by a primary line up for high detailed drawing. Also, at this researches used the image processing system and algorithm instead of the existing a primary hand-line up and fiber input array and waveguide chip formed in line by automatic.

  • Recent technological advance have greatly expanded the application of invisible orthodontic treatment using clear thermoplastic materials. However, the final outcomes using clear aligner system do not achieve the level of final goal frequently, which results in case refinement, midcourse correction, or fixed orthodontic treatment. Therefore, mechanical properties of thermoplastic materials should be considered to improve the quality of outcomes. The purposes of this special article were to evaluate the force and stress depending on the materials, deflection and thickness of thermoplastic materials and to evaluate the mechanical properties of thermoplastic materials after repeated loading. Thickness and amount of deflection rather than products and materials showed the largest effect on force and stress. In all products, at least 159 gf of force was required for more than 1.0 mm deflection or when materials with 1.0 mm thickness were deflected. Orthodontic forces delivered by thermoplastic materials depend on the materials, thickness, amount of activation, and intra-oral condition. Proper thickness of thermoplastic materials and deflection level of tooth movement should be decided for the efficient and physiologic tooth movement.

  • Objective: The purposes of this study were to measure the orthodontic forces generated by thermoplastic aligners and investigate the possible influences of different activations for lingual bodily movements on orthodontic forces, and their attenuation. Methods: Thermoplastic material of 1.0-mm in thickness was used to manufacture aligners for 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6 mm activations for lingual bodily movements of the maxillary central incisor. The orthodontic force in the lingual direction delivered by the thermoplastic aligners was measured using a micro-stress sensor system for the invisible orthodontic technique, and was monitored for 2 weeks. Results: Orthodontic force increased with the amount of activation of the aligner in the initial measurements. The attenuation speed in the 0.6 mm group was faster than that of the other groups (p < 0.05). All aligners demonstrated rapid relaxation in the first 8 hours, which then decreased slowly and plateaued on day 4 or 5. Conclusions: The amount of activation had a substantial influence on the orthodontic force imparted by the aligners. The results suggest that the activation of lingual bodily movement of the maxillary central incisor should not exceed 0.5 mm. The initial 4 or 5 days is important with respect to orthodontic treatment incorporating an aligner.

  • Clear aligners are popular in the field of dental orthodontic treatment because they offer a discreet alternative to braces due to their use of transparent materials. They are formed from flat transparent polymer materials by hot pressed molding. It is necessary to know the mechanical properties of the polymer materials to be able to form the exact shapes of the clear aligners. However, this information is not publicly available. In this study, we present a method to reliably measure the mechanical properties of clear aligner polymer materials and analyze the factors effecting these mechanical properties. First, we surveyed standards related to the mechanical properties of polymer materials to obtain reliable data. Consequently, ISO 527 was selected for use in this study because of the size and thickness of the flat transparent polymer material. The uniaxial tensile tester was constructed and it was verified whether displacement of a crosshead could be regarded as a displacement of gauge-length by optical analysis. Uniaxial tensile tests of three thicknesses from three different companies were performed and each engineering stress-strain curve was measured. Tensile strengths and elastic moduli were obtained by analysis of the stress-strain curves. The tensile strength and elastic modulus of ISO 527 was found to be approximately 50MPa and 2.3GPa, respectively. Both values showed material and thickness dependency.

  • Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness and mechanism of clear aligner therapy for the correction of anterior open bite in adult nonextraction cases. Methods: Sixty-nine adult patients with anterior open bite were enrolled and classified into Angle's Class I, II, and III groups. Fifty patients presented with skeletal open bite (mandibular plane angle [MPA] ≥ 38°), whereas 19 presented with dental open bite. Fifteen cephalometric landmarks were identified before (T1) and after (T2) treatment. The magnitudes of planned and actual movements of the incisors and molars were calculated. Results: Positive overbite was achieved in 94% patients, with a mean final overbite of 1.1 ± 0.8 mm. The mean change in overbite was 3.3 ± 1.4 mm. With clear aligners alone, 0.36 ± 0.58 mm of maxillary molar intrusion was achieved. Compared with the Class I group, the Class II group showed greater maxillary molar intrusion and MPA reduction. The Class III group showed greater mandibular incisor extrusion with no significant vertical skeletal changes. Conclusions: Clear aligners can be effective in controlling the vertical dimension and correcting mild to moderate anterior open bite in adult nonextraction cases. The treatment mechanism for Class III patients significantly differed from that for Class I and Class II patients. Maxillary incisor extrusion in patients with dental open bite and MPA reduction with mandibular incisor extrusion in patients with skeletal open bite are the most significant contributing factors for open bite closure.

  • 우리나라에서 유효우량을 구하는 방법은 미국의 NRCS-CN 방법을 채택하여 사용하고 있으나, 70%가 산악지역인 우리나라의 지형적인 특성과 담수재배를 하는 논의 유출특성이 반영되지 않고 있다. 이러한 문제점으로 인해 NRCS-CN 방법으로 유효우량을 산정하는 경우 실제의 강우-유출 특성을 정확히 반영하지 못하고 있다. 정확한 실험과 연구를 통하여 우리나라의 토지이용 분류기준에 따른 유출곡선지수를 산정해야 하지만 현실적으로 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 대상지역을 선정하고 유출분석을 실시하여 대상지역의 유출곡선지수를 재산정하였다. 이를 위하여 먼저 유전자 알고리즘을 적용하여 토양형 A에 대한 유출곡선지수를 산정하고, 토양형 A의 유출곡선지수를 CN aligner 공식에 적용하여 나머지 토양형 B, C, D에 대한 유출곡선지수를 추정하였다. 초기 유출곡선지수와 계산된 유출곡선지수를 비교한 결과, 천왕은 0, 춘양은 -1, 장기는 -3의 차이를 보였다. 위와 같은 과정을 통하여 실제 강우-유출을 반영할 수 있는 토지이용 분류기준에 따른 유출곡선지수를 제시하였다.
