With the developments in knitting, manufacturing, and polymers, coated gloves have been evolved in a way to maximize occupational safety and functionality. In this paper, we have considered the PU-coating process for the glove knitted by Dyneema to reduce the occurrence of the defects due to air bubble. This paper classifies the types of defect due to air bubble and traces their forming mechanisms. The air between coating layer of glove and mold's surface forms the defects if it is not evacuated fully in the process of submerging into water. The defects can be suppressed or avoided by forming air-evacuating path on the surface of the molds.

Objectives : The objectives of this study is to investigate the handwashing and use of personal protection equipment in dental hygienists and provide the basic data for dental infection control guideline. Methods : A questionnaire survey was performed in the dental hygienists who participated in the continuing education by the Daejeon City Commission in October 2012. The collected data were analyzed using PASW 18.0. Results : Handwashing was well practiced in group working for 3 to 5 years of employment. Those who took the infection cnotrol training used liquid soap, paper towel, dental mask, protective goggles, face shield, and gloves. Conclusions : Infection control is the most important practice in dental hygienists. So it is necessary to emphasize the inportnace of personal protection equipment including medical gloves, dental mask, and goggles.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the vibration attenuation effects of the different type of gloves and drilling mode while operating a light-weighted powered hand drill. For the experimental design, five different kinds of glove(barehanded cotton partly coated anti-vibration, and open-finger vibration glove) two types of push force level(100N and 200N) and two types of drilling mode(impact and non-impulsive) were considered. Six healthy male subjects were employed to drive screws into a vertically mounted marble plate with a powered hand drill in a randomly ordered experimental conditions. The findings of this study are summarized as follows; (1) It was found that the best combination of overall BMS transmissibility was using impact drilling mode with anti-vibration glove among evaluated experimental conditions (2) The wearing open finger vibration glove in mid-frequency level and anti-vibration glove with impact drill in high-frequency were the best in the result from mean corrected transmissibility equation of ISO 10819.

A novel high precision spatial positioning method utilizing the electromagnetic momentum, i.e., Electromagnetic Momentum Positioning (EMP), is proposed in this paper. By measuring the momentum of the electromagnetic field around the small current loop, the relative position between the sensor and the current loop is calculated. This method is particularly suitable for the application of close-range and high-precision positioning, e.g., data gloves and medical devices in personal healthcare, etc. The simulation results show that EMP method can give a high accuracy with the positioning error less than 1 mm, which is better than the traditional magnetic positioning devices with the error greater than 1 cm. This method lays the foundation for the application of data gloves to meet the accurate positioning requirement, such as the high precision interaction in Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and personal wearable devices network.

In this paper, we propose a flex sensor-based data glove to track the movements of human fingers for virtual reality education. By putting flex sensors and utilizing an accelerometer, this data glove allows people to enjoy applications for virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR). With the maximum and minimum values of the flex sensor at each finger joint, it determines an angle corresponding to the bending value of the flex sensor. It tracks the movements of fingers and hand gestures with respect to the angle values at finger joints. In order to prove the effectiveness of the proposed data glove, we implemented a VR classroom application.

This paper analyzes robotic technology developed for live-line electricity distribution and its applicability to domestic environment. In doing so, available robotic systems developed for the live-line work are thoroughly investigated and compared in terms of from robotic functionality to economic feasibility. To assess the technology readiness for domestic live-line robot, the rubber gloves based direct live-line engineering methods have been also analyzed and mapped into robotic technology requisites. The results are expected as a fundamental data to help with solving the safety and economics issues when considering development and introduction of compact live-line robot for complex domestic electricity distribution environment.

Immdeiate hypersensitivity reactions to natural rubber and latex products pose a significant threat to patients, healthcare workers, and the general population. The purpose of this study is to summarize the clinical syomptoms of latex rubber allergy and provide guidelines for the management of latex allergy. Contact dermatitis from the nearly constant use of latex gloves during the workday has become a real problem for many health care professionals. Moreover, the patient who come in contact with these gloves or with other latex-containing equipment may show reactons. Far worse than skin problems is life-threatening anaphyaxis, which can be the first indication that a person has latex sensitivity. In conclusion, nurses shold know the latex precautions such as risk factors, adverse reactons to latex, emergent treatment and so on.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of different yarn twisting methods on physical properties. Plain single jersey structured fabrics were knitted from Kevlar yarn, and from Kevlar/HPPE, and from Kevlar/Basalt fiber, and from Kevlar/Glass fiber and Kevlar/Stainless steel fiber blended and core-spun yarns. and then, The fabrics were coated NBR Latex. The physical properties, including tear strength, modulus, degree of penetration, heat resistance, and cut resistance of the knitted fabrics were investigated and compared. Kevlar/HPPE blended yarn fabrics recorded the highest heat resistance (13 Sec.). and Kevlar/HPPE blended yarn fabrics had good cut resistance (Cut Level 4).

The aim of this study is to understand problems with both fit and sizing system of gloves by analyzing the glove production industries with an emphasis on the sizing system, production measurement system, and general marking situation. Also, to suggest the basic raw materials for improving sizing system for gloves, actual glove control sizes were compared to the anthropometric data of the previous study Fifteen domestic production companies were participated in this study-Domestic glove production companies established their own sizing system by copying inter-national brand's glove sizing system or by their experience. The Korean Standard of gloves and the 1997 Korean Standard Anthropometrics Measurement for producing glove patterns are not considered because of its discordance with the reality of the required measurements. Domestic glove production companies used different size designation and labeling system. Size measurement unit also showed difference among the glove production companies. Some companies used 'cm', some used 'mm', some used 'inch' for the measurement unit. In general, companies produced 5 to 4 sizes in one design of glove and the production was the highest in M and L size. In 9 out of 15 companies preferred control size as hand length and hand circumference. For reference size, most of the companies preferred finger circumference, finger length, palm length, hand breadth, crotch height, and hand thickness. Actual glove sizes were compared to the anthropometric data of the previous study. The results indicated that most of the measurements of actual glove sizes were significantly larger than the anthropometric data.
