The purpose of this study was to examine the factors associated with health insurance expenditures of the employed in the US. The data were from the 1994 Consumer Expenditure Surrey and the sample selected was admits aged 18 to 64 who were either a single head of household or part of a married couple. Results of Tobit regression indicated that age, education, and occupation of household head, region of residence, number of earners, homeownership(as a proxy for wealth), total expenditure(as a proxy for income), health care expenditures(as a proxy for health status) are significantly related to out-of-pocket health insurance expenditures by the employed.

There have been two opposing views on the structure of the so-called head internal relative construction(HIRC) in Korean/Japanese, i.e., a view that analyzes the HIRC categorially as a nominal projection and functionally as an argument(Kuroda 1992, Watanabe 1992, Hoshi 1996, Jhang 1991/1994, among others) vs. a view that analyzes the HIRC categorially as an adjunct clause and functionally as a non-argument(Murasugi 1994). This paper on the one hand points out several phenomena indicating that Murasugi's analysis is more viable, while on the other hand proposing a more complex structure than Murasugi's to account for other facts as well. The no/kes clause in the HIRC will be analyzed as the complement of a null perception verb whose projection constitutes part of an adjunct clause.

A centrifugal water chiller using alternative refrigerant R134a have been developed. The prototype was designed to have refrigeration capacity of 300RT. Its compressor employs a single high-speed impeller, airfoil diffuser and collector. Newly developed enhanced tubes were installed in the evaporator and the condenser to reduce the required head for the compressor. Off-design characteristics at various conditions, performance test of the compressor and analysis of the refrigeration cycle were performed. So the probability of use in part load condition was checked and the direction for revision was suggested.

In order to improve the productivity of cold forging at low production cost, an integrated system's approach is necessary in handling the material preparation and the optimum process design, considering the forming machines, tooling, and operation including quality control. As the first step toward this approach, an expert system for multi-stage cold forging process design for fasteners with various head geometries is developed using Prolog language on IBM 486 PC. For effective representation of the complex part geometries, the system uses the multiple element input, and the forward inference scheme in determination of the initial billet size and intermediate forging steps. In order to determine intermediate steps, the basic empirical rules for extrusion, heading, and trimming were applied. The required forming loads and global strain distributions at each forging step were calculated and displayed on the PC monitor. The designed process sequence drawing can be obtained by AutoCAD. The developed system will be useful in reducing trial and error of design engineers in determining the diameter and height of the initial cylindrical billet from the final product geometry and the intermediate necessary sequences.

To insure accuracy in dental roentgenographs, it is important that the patient's head position and angulation of the x-ray tube. In 1907 Cieszynski applied the rule of isometry to dental radiography and established that in the production of an accurate image of a tooth, the central ray must be porjected perpendicularly to a plane bisecting angle formed by the longitudinal axis of the tooth and the film plane. Proper exposure of the film is a part of the production of a good dental radiograph, and correct processing also makes an essential contribution to the quality of the radiograph. The author analysed the failure of exposure and processing results, and recommended followings. 1. The patient head must be positioned that occlusal plane are parallel with the horizontal floor. 2. Central ray must be projected to the objective tooth and supporting structure and projected as perpendicularly to tooth axis and film surface as possible. 3. In processing, the temperature of the solution and the processing time must be correct.

This paper proposes how to solve a problem of FDM 3D printer's irregular output when changing volume of extrusion, adjusting movement speed of the printer's head and a way to fill new inner part. Existing slicers adjust directly to change the rotation speed of the stepper. In this method, the change of the extrusion area is delayed due to the gap between the stepper and the nozzle, so that precise control is difficult. We control the extrusion area adjusting the moving speed of the print head and making constantly the rotation speed of the stepper. Thus, the output time can be shortened by generating an efficient path having a short travel distance. For evaluation, we applied our method to lithophanes with detailed variation. Comparing existing methods, our method reduced output time at least 30%.

The term "deep holes" is used to describe the machining of holes with a relatively large length to diameter ratio. The main feature of BTA deep hole drilling is the stabilization of cutting force necessary for the self guidance of the drill head. An additional feature is the cutting tool edges that are unsymmetrically placed on the drill head. There is an increasing necessity to predict the hole geometry and other dynamic stability behavior of deep hole drilling guidance. In this study, the effects of BTA deep hole drilling conditions on the hole profile machined piece are analyzed using domain analysis technique. The profile of deep hole drilled work piece is related to cutting speed, feed rate, chip flow, tool wear, and so on. This study deals with the experimental results obtained during the BTA drilling on SM45C, SM55C carbon steels and SCM440 steels under various cutting conditions, and these results are compared with analytical evaluations.aluations.

The most problematic part in wearable terminals is the display device. To solve these problem, the HMD(Head Mounted Display) is used to wearable terminals. It is a kind of monitor worn like glasses. However, a problem exists in HMD. To select and execute the multimedia contents, it is required to manipulate the key, button, and mouse. These actions are very uncomfortable in HMD. The most fundamental way solving these problems is to develop a new interface. In this paper, we developed the wearable image watching system based on gesture recognition system.

Neurofibromatosis, now termed neurofibromatosis type I, is known as a congenital and familial disease presenting abnormalities of the skin, nervous system, bones, and soft tissue. We experienced a case of extremely large neurofibromatosis which developed on the orbital and temporal region of a 24-year-old man. The tumor was widely excised including normal skin margin, outer table of cranium, a part of zygoma and maxilla. Bony defect was reconstructed by rib bone graft and secondary cosmetic correction of blepharoptosis was performed using supratarsal fixation in postoperative 6 months.

The multi-point dieless forming technology is one of flexible forming technologies that can form 3D curved surfaces of various shapes utilizing a lot of punch arrangements. A new technology that can simultaneously apply high-temperature forming and flexible forming technology by fusing local heating effect to such multi-point dieless forming technology was proposed in the present study. A simple local heating multi-point dieless forming apparatus was fabricated to confirm the applicability of this new technology. This equipment was designed to be used as a heat source by inserting heating cartridges in the head of the multi-point punch. Cartridges were used for all individual punches. Using the manufactured equipment, the time to raise the temperature to the target temperature and the surface temperature of the punch head part in contact with the plate were measured. In addition, forming experiments were carried out according to sheet material temperature (100 ℃, 200 ℃, and 300 ℃) to obtain forming results for each condition. The applicability and feasibility of this technology were confirmed through experimental results.
