Medical devices separated by a committee of the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC TC (Technical Committee) 62 medical electrical equipment being promoted by the International standards. Actually, a lot of standards were existed, but many national and international standards for medical devices were lacking in practical standards that can be applied to their development. Most international standards were focused in electrical and mechanical safety of medical devices. Therefore, there were few practical standards which contain essential performance evaluation. Although medical device regulations do not enforce a fixed lifecycle model, activities are presented in a sequential manner, thus hinting at a waterfall process. Meanwhile, for a decade or more, software teams have benefitted from agile development methods. Several medical device manufacturers have adopted agile practices while keeping development in compliance with regulations, but conflicts arise and decisions have to be taken in favor of agility or formality. However, if there are new practical standards of medical devices, it must be possible to promote the medical devices industry in their nation. To do this, there is a need to develop a new standard could apply to the international market through the analysis of the medical device related technology. Consequently, new standards such as NP (New proposal) or NWIP (New Work Item Proposal) should be developed through international standardization of medical device technology.

The Taekwondo uniform has remained consistent since it was officially designed in a V-neck form in 1976. Taekwondo is a martial art that emphasizes social etiquette; therefore, it is necessary to dress in a uniform that reflects Korean traditions and ancient oriental philosophy. However, the current official uniform has limitations in endowing traditionality and many usability problems. Thus, recognizing the problems raised with the uniform, the Kukkiwon (World Taekwondo Headquarters) developed a new style official uniform in 2011. This study is to endow traditional meaning to a new style uniform and proposes some design modifications that can convey a more traditional adequacy. The development of the new official uniform began with a specific plan for change from the existing uniform, this study as subsequent work is significant in that its endowment of symbolism and modification proposal is for the actual execution and global dissemination of traditional Taekwondo culture. The results of this study are as follows. First, we can endow Korea's traditional historicity and symbolism to the new uniform in form and colors. All contents of the design (in which the front side is open, the top is adjusted rightward, the rear length is shorter than the front length, comfort provided by side vents, dual collars for children's uniforms, and a belt) are adapted from the Korean traditional costume. Consequently, historicity can be endowed to the uniform. It is also confirmed that the traditional oriental philosophy including heaven and earth (天地), Yin-Yang (陰陽), and Five Elements (五行) can be endowed in the use of colors. Second, in order to project deeper historicity and symbolism to the form of the new uniform, this study proposes design modifications based on the selection as an item of Simui (深衣), a type of traditional clothing that contains a high symbolism similar to the Taekwondo uniform. It proposes giving shape to the practice of manners, the righteous life, and the straightforward mind by modifying the design of the uniform in the fish belly part of the sleeves, collars, back stitches, and side seams.

For the reduction of electric energy consumption and its efficient use at homes or buildings, a new work item proposal for new architecture and functional requirements of Energy Saving System (ESS) was proposed to IEC TC 100 and accepted as a new project, IEC PT 62654 in 2009. Recently, the final ballot for publication passed without negative votes and IEC TS 62654 was finally published in August 2012. For the verification of this standard, Prototype of ESS system composed of an ESS server, ESS clients, and portable ESS terminal were especially implemented in parallel with the standardization. Electric Power Control and Management (EPCM) protocol for the communication between ESS server and clients was also implemented, which supports self-configuration of ESS network, power consumption monitoring, remote power control, and additional functions for intelligent energy saving services.

전자파 잔향실(Reverberating Shielded Enclosure)의 개념은 전자파 차폐실(Shielded Enclosure)에서 얻어진 측정결과를 개선하기 위하여 1968년도에 제안되었다. 이후 Reverberating 또는 Mode-Stirred Chamber는 EM Immunity 측정뿐만 아니라 EMI측정에서도 많이 적용되어 왔지만, 국제 표준 방식으로 적용되어 오지 못하다가 최근 EMI 복사 전력 측정 및 EM Immunity 측정시설로 유용하게 사용될 수 있다는 점이 부각되어 국제 표준 방식으로 적용하자는 분위기가 무르익어 이에 대한 활발한 논의가 계속되어 오고 있다. 이러한 전자파 잔향실을 이용하여 EMI 및 EMS 시험을 실시할 수 있는 방법을 규격화시키자는 제안이 '96년 프랑스 Mandelieu 국제 전자파 장해 특별위원회(CISPR:International Special Committee on Radio Interference)회의에서 검토된 후 '97년 일본 Yokosuka CISPR 회의에서 정식의제로 채택되었다. 이 안건에 대하여 대부분의 국가들이 제안 취지에 찬성하여 NWIP(New Work Item Proposal) 문서가 각국에서 회람되었다. 초기 전자파 잔향실은 전자파 장해 및 복사 내성 측정을 위한 대용시험 시설로서 1968년 미국 Mendes에 의해 전자파 차폐실 구조에 Stirrer를 이용하여 필드의 균일도를 확보할 수 있다는 전자파 잔향실 개념이 처음으로 제안되었다. 이후 이 분야의 연구는 미국 표준 기술 연구소(NIST: National Institute of Standard and Technology)등에서 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 국제 표준화 기구인 CISPR에서 전자파 장해 및 내성 시험을 위한 대용시험 시설로서 활용하기 위하여 규격 작업이 진행중에 있다. 또한 최근 전자파 장해 방지를 위한 규제 주파수가 1∼18㎓ 까지 확장됨에 따라 이 주파수 대역에서 시험장으로 활용할 수 있는 전자파 잔향실이 새롭게 부각되고 있다. 전자파 잔향실은 기본적으로 공진 모드를 활용하기 때문에 일정한 크기의 잔향실 내부에서 전자파 균일성을 확보할 수 있는 모드 수에 의해 하한 주파수가 결정되며 충분한 모드 분포상태에서 Stirrer를 사용하여 필드 경계를 이동시킴으로서 확률적으로 균일한 필드분포를 확보하게 된다. 주파수가 증가함에 따라 모드수는 증가하기 때문에 하한 주파수 이상의 대역에 대한 시험시설로 활용할 수 있으며, 특히 ㎓ 대역에서 사용하기에 적합한 대용시험시설이라고 볼 수 있다.

Silver films have been of considerable interest for years due to their better performance relative to other metal films for engineering applications. A series of multi-layer silver coatings with different thickness (i.e. 0.3 um to 1.5 um) were prepared on Aluminium substrate containing copper undercoat by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering method. For the comparative purpose, similar thickness silver coatings were prepared by electrolytic deposition method. Microstructural, morphological, and mechanical characteristics of the silver coatings were evaluated by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Surface roughness test, microhardness test and nano-scratch test. From the results, it has been elucidated that the silver films prepared by DC magnetron sputtering method has superior properties in comparison to the wet coating method. On the other hand, DC magnetron sputtering method is relatively easier, faster, eco-friendly and more productive than the electrolytic deposition method that uses several kinds of hazardous chemicals for bath formulation. Therefore, a New Work Item Proposal (NWIP) for the test methods standardization of DC magnetron sputtered silver coatings has recently been proposed via KATS, Korea and a NP ballot is being progressed within a technical committee "ISO/TC107-metallic and other inorganic coating".
