Purpose: The purpose of this study was designed to identify the effects of heat therapy on dysmenorrhea, heat being provided using a far infrared rays heating element. Methods: The research design for the study was a non-equivalent control group quasi- experimental design. Participants were 22 students for the experimental group, and 26 students for the control group. Data were analyzed using SAS WIN 9.1 program. Results: The experimental group had significantly lower mean scores for menstrual pain, dysmenorrhea, and blood pressure than those in the control group. However, no significant differences were found between two groups for pulse, respiration, and temperature. Conclusion: These findings show that thermotherapy was effective for reduction of menstrual pain, dysmenorrhea, and B/P. Therefore, this therapy could be used as a nursing intervention for students with dysmenorrhea.

This paper presents an innovative prototype of a new conceptual electromagnetic induction heated type far infrared rays radiant heating appliance using the voltage-fed edge-resonant ZVS-PWM high frequency inverter using IGBTs for food cooking and processing which operates under a constant frequency variable power regulation scheme. This power electronic appliance with soft switching high frequency inverter using IGBTs has attracted special interest from some advantageous viewpoints of safety, cleanliness, compactness and rapid temperature response, which is more suitable for consumer power electronics applications.

The outer-most electrons of metal atoms and the remining valence electrons of any molecular atoms make three dimensional crystallizing $\pi$-bondings. The electrons on the $\pi$-bonding orbital rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise and they then make electro-magnetic waves between atoms on the orbital because electron move between plus charged ions. The three dimensional crystallizing $\pi$-bonding orbitals are quantum-mechanically modeled by a cyclic Kronig-Penny Model and energy band structures are analyzed with their potential barrier thickness. The waves generated between plus charged ions are the particular $\pi$-far infrared rays, which have dual properties between material and electro-magnetic waves and can be measured not by modern electro-magnetic tester but biosensor such as finger's force tester. Because the $\pi$-rays can be modulated with electro-magnetic waves it can be applied for harmful electro-magnetic wave killers. Because the $\pi$-rays make new three dimensional crystallizing $\pi$-bonding orbitals in the material the food and drink can be transformed into a helpful physical constitutional property for human health. Distinction between crystalline and amorphous metals is possible because very strong crystalline $\pi$-bonding orbitals can not easily be transformed into another. The $\pi$-rays can also be applied for biofunctional diagnostics and therapy. Gravitational field is one of the electro-magnetic fields. And also magnetic field and gravitational force field make charge's movement. ($\times$ = q, : magnetic field, : force field, q: plus charge, : velocity field)

Sintered $Al_2TiO_5$ has a very low thermal expansion and an infrared radiative selectively emitting large amounts of far infrared rays. However, it is week in mechanical strength. Spectral infrared emittance, thermal expansion coefficient, and mechanical strength of $Al_2TiO_5$-clay composites were studied to develop a material for far infrared radiators. The composites containing 10~50 mass% Jungsan clay had high emittance in the range of 2,000~500cm-1. The bending strength of the $Al_2TiO_5$-clay composites increased with increasing clay content. The $Al_2TiO_5$-clay composites with a clay content of 50mass% and heat-treated at $1,200^{\circ}C$ had a large strength for infrared radiators ; 86MPa. The average linear thermal expansion coefficient from $200{\sim}1,000^{\circ}C$ of the 50mass% jungsan clay containing compo sited heat-treated at $1,200^{\circ}C$ was lower than $3.87{\times}10-6/^{\circ}C$.

Carbon fiber shows excellent heat generation value and thermal efficiency comparing with the metallic materials because of its far infrared-rays and radiant heat. So, high performance and economic steam boiler system for the industry can be manufactured by using the carbon fiber heater. The far infrared ray radiation rate was more than 90 % of carbon fiber. Steam boiler system with carbon fiber heater in this study is made up of heating section. In the proof test of steam boiler, the aimed temperature and dwelling time were at $500^{\circ}C$ for 8,000 hours, $600^{\circ}C$-3,000 hours, and $700^{\circ}C$-1,000 hours. The temperature rise rate of steam boiler with carbon fiber heater was about 40% faster than that of the conventional boiler.

본 논문에서는 가시광선과 원적외선 전반의 파장대역에 걸쳐 사용 가능한 동축 듀얼카메라를 설계 및 분석하였다. 광학계는 빔 스플리터를 이용한 동축광학계 시스템으로 설계되었으며, 가시광선 광학계에서 적외선으로 인한 열 전달을 최소화하기 위해 hot mirror 타입의 빔 스플리터를 사용하였다. 원적외선 카메라는 비냉각형 검출기로 640×480의 센서 배열을 가지고, 가시광선은 1,945×1,097의 센서를 사용한다. 최적화 과정을 거친 후 최종 설계된 광학계의 정합도는 90% 이상이며, 기존에 존재하던 듀얼카메라에 비해 정합도가 향상된 효율적인 설계 결과를 얻었고, 테스트를 통해 향상된 정합도를 확인하였다.

Treatment of patients with pain is directed at relieving pain and restoring function. Heat therapy has been used as a pain treatment. The mean temperatures were 40 and 41℃. Our device, Dr.Pakk heats special silicone to 41℃ with far-infrared rays and attaches it to the painful knee using a vacuum to show the effect. The core technology of the Dr.Pakk is that deep heat is generated when the heat is transmitted deeply by attaching it to the skin. In our experience, Dr.Pakk can be especially effective for knee pain.

Background: The current typical drying methods for red ginseng are sun drying and hot-air drying. The purpose of this study was to investigate drying characteristics of red ginseng by using far-infrared drying. Methods: The far-infrared drying tests on red ginseng were conducted at two drying stages: (1) high temperature for 24 h drying and (2) low temperature drying until the final moisture content was $13{\pm}0.5%$ (wet basis). The high temperature drying stage included three drying chamber temperature conditions of $60^{\circ}C$, $65^{\circ}C$, and $70^{\circ}C$. The low temperature drying stage was conducted at temperatures of $45^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$. Drying characteristics were analyzed based on factors such as drying rate, color changes, energy consumption, and saponin content. The results were compared with those of the hot-air and sun drying methods. Results: The results revealed that increases in drying temperature caused a decrease in drying time and energy consumption for far-infrared drying. The saponin content decreased under all drying conditions after drying, the highest value (11.34 mg/g) was observed at drying conditions of $60{\sim}50^{\circ}C$. The sun drying condition showed the lowest color difference value when compared with far-infrared and hot-air drying. Conclusion: The far-infrared drying showed a faster drying rate, higher saponin content, lower color difference value, and a decrease in energy consumption than seen in hot-air drying.
