일반적인 평판 프린터 시스템은 PC와 전용 S/W로 구성되어 사용에 불편함이 존재한다. 결국, 평판 프린터 시스템 구성의 간소화, 스마트화 등을 통해 다양한 형태의 프린팅을 쉽고 편리하게 사용할 수 있는 기술이 필요하다. 즉, 한 대의 프린터로 여러 종류의 소재에 인쇄가 가능하며, 다양한 형태의 상품을 인쇄할 수 있는 다입체 프린터에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 Head Encoder/Trigger 제어를 이용하여 다입체 인쇄가 가능한 평판 프린터 시스템을 개발하였다. 이를 위해, 평판 프린터 내부 모듈을 입력 형태 감지 센서를 연계시키고, 별도의 메인 콘트롤러를 통해 프린터의 Head Encoder와 Head Trigger 신호에 의해 모든 동작 상태를 제어하는 평판 프린터를 개발하였다. 이를 통해, IoT 기술의 발전 및 보급의 확산으로 산업 전반에 걸쳐 스마트 환경의 프린터 제어가 발전된 형태로 확대될 것이며, 향후 3D 프린팅 산업 발전에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

The triggered vacuum switch (TVS) discharges high current through two processes. In the first process, an igniting plasma is generated at a trigger system, and the next process that a main discharge is taken place sequentially at a six-gap rod electrode within a few microsecond. In general, a triggered voltage producing the igniting plasma is increased. However, after several hundred shots, it goes down and stable, in our experiment the trigger voltage is about 5 kV after 250 shots. This triggered characteristics comes from the ceramic insulator which is covered by an electrode material, therefore we have focused on the first igniting plasma process. The igniting plasma has been generated at the surface of a ceramic insulator under a strong electric field. The electric field can be increased through modifying geometries of trigger components which compose of a trigger pin, a ceramic insulator and an enclosed holder. We fabricated not only two types of trigger pin which are a plane head and an umbrella head type, but two different holders which are a concave and a convex type. In this paper the result that the dependency of geometries for these four combined types is included, but the study of the ceramic insulator is not. The research of the ceramic insulator will be announced in the other paper.

A migraine is a recurrent, throbbing headache generally felt on one side of the head. Migraines usually begin in early childhood, adolescence, or young adult life. Its accurate pathogenesis is still unknown but migraines are caused by a rapid widening and narrowing of blood vessel walls in the brain and head. The classic migraine and the common migraine are the two main types. The onset of classical migraine may be signalled by visual disturbances in what is called the 'aura' stage. Visual aura is most common among the auras of classical migraine. Common migraine (or migraine without aura) and classical migraine may be accompanied by various combinations of symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Recently we have exprienced 2 cases of migraine patients and whose conditions were improved through trigger point needling and Oriental medical treatment.

Headache is a common disease of the general population. But the main problem in any study of headache has been that of defining the disease entities. In 1988, the Headache Classification committee of the International Headache Society introduced operational diagnostic criteria for all headache disorders into 13 major group; migraine, tension-type headache, cluster headache and chronic paroxysmal hemicrania etc. Sjaastad was the first to describe "cervicogenic headache", one of various head pain syndromes that probably originate in the cervical spine. Between March 1995 and June 1995, we studied 78 out-patients of the Department of Neuro pain clinic, Sanggye Paik Hospital, Inje university. We divided the patients into three study group: Fifty-three patients with tension-type headache, 13 with cervicogenic headache, and 12 with migraine headache. The reponse of trigger point injection and $C_2$-ganglion block in patients was investigated. We paid particular attention to the response of trigger point injection in patients of the three group. The effect of trigger point injection was more marked in tension-type headache group than in the other categories. The pain reduction after $C_2$-ganglion block was more marked in cervicogenic headache group than in the others.

Localized or radiating pain in the arm and shoulder joint may result after faulty alignment causing compression or tension on nerves, blood vessels, or supporting soft tissues. The critical site of faulty alignment is the quadrangular space in the axilla bounded by the teres major, teres minor, long head of triceps, and humerus. The axillary nerve emerges through this space to supply the deltoid and teres minor. The activity of the trigger point on teres minor compressing the axillary nerve causes pain to develop through the area of sensory distribution of cutaneous branch of the axillary nerve. Relieving compression on the axillary nerve and suprascapular nerve is the key point to relieving the pain. Spasm of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus compressing the suprascapular nerve caused pain to develop in the shoulder joint and scapular area. We treated those patients experiencing such pain with local anesthetic infiltration or I-R laser stimulation on the identified trigger points.

Background: Tension-type headaches, which make up the highest proportion of headaches, are prone to develop into chronic tension-type headaches (CTTH). The characteristic of CTTH in patients is that the active myofascial trigger point (ATrP) which causes pain in the muscles of the back of the head is increased, compared to the normal headache and moves the head position forward. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of myofascial release (MFR) and posture correction in effectively improving neck function and sleep quality in the symptoms of CTTH patients. Design: Observer-blind study Methods: To reduce ATrP, MFR was applied and exercise was also applied to correct posture. The subjects of this study were 48 individuals randomly divided into three groups; The MFR group using the MFR technique; The MFR with exercise group subject to both the MFR technique and forward head position correction exercises (MFREx), and the control group. MFR and MFREx groups were given the relevant interventions twice a week for four consecutive weeks, and went through the number ATrPs, range of motion (ROM) of neck, Neck Disability Index (NDI) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) before and after the intervention. A physical therapist, who was fully familiar with the measuring methods of the equipment, was the measurer and not aware of the target's condition was blinded to take measurements only before and after intervention. Results: There was a significant improvement in the ATrP, Neck ROM, NDI and PSQI in the group of patients to whom the MFR technique and MFREx were applied. MFREx was more effective in increasing neck mobility. Conclusions: According to this study, the application of MFR is effective in improving neck movement and sleep quality in chronic tension headache patients.

PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of posture improvement exercise using virtual reality programs on the posture and balance of patients with forward head postures. METHODS: Thirty men and women in their 20 s, who had a forward head posture, were divided randomly into a group with posture correction exercise and a group with posture correction exercise combined with virtual reality programs. The posture correction exercise was composed of squats, XCO training, and chin-tuck exercise. In contrast, exercise with virtual reality games involved the Hot Squat, Climbey, and Baskhead programs while wearing a headset. Both groups performed the exercises 15 min a day, three times per week, for four weeks. The balance ability, distance between the acromion and earlobe, and neck joint range of motion were assessed before and after the exercises. RESULTS: Both groups showed significant reductions in the distance between the acromion and the earlobe, along with significant improvements in the range of joint motion. The group that performed the virtual reality exercises showed a significant increase in the limit of stability. Both groups showed a significant decrease in the sway length. In contrast, the group given the virtual reality exercises showed a significant reduction in the sway speed while standing with their eyes closed. CONCLUSION: Exercise applying virtual reality programs can be used in clinical and home programs to correct the postures of individuals with a forward head posture because they can trigger interest in inducing active participation.

This paper introduces the upper stage attitude control system of KSLV-I, which is the first space launch vehicle in Korea. The KSLV-I upper stage attitude control system consists of two electro-hydraulic actuators and a reaction control system using cold nitrogen gas. A proportional, derivative, and integral controller is designed for the electro-hydraulic thrust vectoring system, and Schmidt trigger ON/OFF controllers are designed for the reaction control system. Each attitude controller is designed to have enough stability margins. The stability and performance of KSLV-I upper stage attitude control system is verified via hardware in the loop tests. Hardware in the loop tests are accomplished for perturbed flight conditions as well as nominal flight condition. The test results show that the attitude control loop of KSLV-I upper stage is very stable and the attitude controllers perform well for all flight conditions. Attitude controllers designed in this paper have been successfully applied to the first flight of KSLV-I on August 25, 2009. The flight test results show that all attitude controllers of the KSLV-I upper stage performed well and satisfied the accuracy specifications even during abnormal flight conditions.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to measure the change in pain threshold of levator scapular muscle, carniovertebral angle, and head position angle when applying a head-weight device on healthy adult. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: This study was conducted with 21 healthy adult male and female who voluntarily agreed to participate in this study after being informed of the purpose and method of this study. After measuring the cervical angle and pain threshold of levator scapular muscle, subject was instructed to walk for 5 minutes on a treadmill at a speed of less than 5 km/h while wearing after wearing head-weight device of 0.5 kg. Then, cervical spine angle and pain threshold of levator scapula muscle were re-measured. Measurement of cervical spine angle was conducted with photo by using the Bluebeam Revu software and the pain pressure thresholds (PPTs) were measured using an electronic algometer over potential trigger points on the body. Results: The results cervical angle showed a significant change, from $49.62^{\circ}$ to $52.10^{\circ}$ (p<0.05). PPT showed a significant change, from 30.71 to 36.89 (p<0.05). Conclusions: These findings suggest that applying head-weight device has a positive influence on increasing cervical angle and reducing pain when applied as a therapeutic intervention method of forward head posture.
