Due to the expense of health care and the need to contain costs, many stroke patients are discharged from hospitals while still in an impaired condition. Using Tele-rehabilitation, these patients can receive rehabilitation services remotely. A pegboard is a conventional rehabilitation therapeutic device that integrates cognition, sensation and hand motor function. This study proposes a Tele-rehabilitation content with automated pegboard and shows its functional feasibility. The evaluation of the pegboard session was automated with RFID (radio frequency identification), and a 16-hole pegboard was rapid-prototyped. After a pegboard session is completed, the session result is uploaded to a server automatically for viewing on a web browser by a remote therapist. The therapist can also send messages to remote patients to encourage them or to manage the rehabilitation process.

This paper describes blower performance characteristics of a automated vacuum waste collection system. Blowers serially connected to six or seven centrifugal blowers are evaluated by experimental measurements to understand blower performances according to blower numbers operated. Two different blowers and duct diameters connected to the main blowers are considered. Data acquisition system is introduced to measure pressure and pressure difference at the main duct simultaneously, which is connected to several blowers serially. A auxiliary blower, which is installed between a filter room and an air deodorizing apparatus, is also added to simulate its performance effect on the main blower. Throughout the experimental measurements of the blower system, it is found that pressure and inlet velocity at the upstream of a blower increase 3.7 and 2.4 times separately by increasing the operating blower numbers from one to seven. It is noted that blower efficiency and pressure measured at the system vary according to the distance between a air intake and a blower system. Auxiliary blower is effective to increase blower inlet suction pressure, while total energy consumption is increased relatively.

Lv.4 이상의 자율주행차량의 주행 정보를 기록하는 자율주행 데이터기록장치(DSSAD)는 사고뿐만 아니라 차량의 상태에 대한 정보를 추가적으로 저장한다는 점에서 기존의 EDR과 차별점이 있으며, 이에 대한 기록항목을 도출하는 것은 추후 Lv.4 자율주행차량 상용화 시 발생할 수 있는 다양한 이벤트에 대응하기 위해 필수적이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 자율주행차량을 활용한 자동차전용도로 실증을 수행하고 수집된 위험상황 데이터를 분석하여 DSSAD의 기록 항목을 도출하였다. 본 연구에서는 약 2년간 자동차전용도로 자율주행 실증을 수행하였으며, 그 과정에서 발생한 제어권 전환 상황을 수집, 분석하였고 그 결과 자동차전용도로에서의 제어권 전환은 차선 변경 상황에서 51.6%가 발생함을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 제어권 전환 상황 분석에 필요한 DSSAD 기록항목으로 차선 변경 상태 정보를 도출하였으며, 향후 제어권 전환 상황 분석 연구에 대한 시사점을 제시하였다.

An automated, simple, and reliable method was developed for determining in vitro drug release rate from transdermal delivery dosage forms. The patch is held in position in the heating block by sandwiching it between the middle plate and the bottom plate of diffusion cell. The dissolution profile of the commercially available transdermal scopolamine patch was determined over a 72-h period, and the results were compared with those obtained with other methods; paddle-over-disk method, reciprocating method, and diffusion cell method. It was demonstrated that the flow-through method is equivalent in terms of release rate profile and accumulated released drug amount over the lifetime of the dosage form tested. Also this method is simple, reliable and reproducible. Therefore, this technique can be used in a quality control for assuring product uniformity.

Due to the miniaturization of semiconductor devices, their crystal structure on the nanoscale must be analyzed. However, scanning electron microscope-electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) has a limitation of resolution in nanoscale and high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) can be used to analyze restrictive local structural information. In this study, three-dimensional (3D) automated crystal orientation and phase mapping using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) (3D TEM-EBSD) was used to identify the crystal structure relationship between an epitaxially grown CdS interfacial layer and a $Cu(In_xGa_{x-1})Se_2$ (CIGS) solar cell layer. The 3D TEM-EBSD technique clearly defined the crystal orientation and phase of the epitaxially grown layers, making it useful for establishing the growth mechanism of functional nano-materials.

It is discussed how to assign delivery tasks to automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for multiple container cranes in automated container terminals. The primary goal of dispatching AGVs is to complete all the lading and discharging operations as early as possible, and the secondary goal is to minimize the total travel distance of AGVs. It is assumed that AGVs are not dedicated to a specific container crane but shared among multiple cranes. A mathematical formulation is developed and a heuristic algorithm is suggested to obtain a near optimal solution with a reasonable amount of computational time. The single-cycle and the dual-cycle operations in both the seaside and the landside operations are analyzed. The effects of pooling AGVs for multiple container cranes on the performance of an entire AGV system are also analyze through a numerical experiment.

In this paper, we propose a method of detecting the region for measuring intima-media thickness (IMT). The existing methods for IMT measurement are automatic, but the region used for measuring IMT is not detected automatically but often set by the user. Therefore, research on detecting the intima-media region is needed for fully automated IMT measurement. The proposed method uses a morphological feature of the carotid artery visible as two long high-brightness horizontal lines at the upper and lower parts. It uses Gaussian blurring, ends-in search stretching, color quantization using a color-importance-based self-organizing map, and morphological operations to emphasize and to detect the morphological feature. The experimental results for evaluating the performance of the proposed method showed a 97.25% (106/109) success rate. Therefore, the proposed method can be used to develop a fully automated IMT measurement system.

자동화 컨테이너 터미널의 생산성은 자동화된 트랜스퍼 크레인(Automated Transfer Crane, ATC)의 속도에 관계된 성능뿐 만 아니라 컨테이너 블록의 크기에 크게 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 ATC의 컨테이너 취급시간과 장치공간을 고려하여 수입 컨테이너 장치 블록의 크기를 어떻게 결정할 것인가에 대해서 다룬다. 먼저, 전형적인 수입 컨테이너 블록에서 ATC의 컨테이너 취급시간을 평가하는 모형을 제시한다. 둘째, 수입 컨테이너 블록의 크기를 결정하는 세 가지의 수리모형을 제시한다. 컨테이너 장치 블록의 크기를 결정하기 위해 제시한 모형들에 대한 수치예제를 제시한다.
