Applications such as vibration isolation, gravity compensation, pick-and-place machines, etc., would benefit from (long-stroke) cylindrical/tubular permanent magnet (PM) actuators with integrated passive gravity compensation to minimize the power consumption. As an example, in component placing (pick-and-place) machines on printed circuit boards, passive devices allow the powerless counteraction of translator including nozzles or tooling bits. In these applications, an increasing demand is arising for high-speed actuation with high precision and bandwidth capability mainly due to the placement head being at the foundation of the motion chain, hence, a large mass of this device will result in high force/power requirements for the driving mechanism (i.e. an H-bridge with three linear permanent magnet motors placed in an H-configuration). This paper investigates a tubular actuator topology combined with passive gravity compensation. These two functionalities are separately introduced, where the combination is verified using comprehensive three dimensional (3D) finite element analyses.

Efficient operation of a component placement machine with a multi-head in a PCB assembly process is considered. The problem consists of two subproblems, which are the optimal allocation of the component tape reels in the rack and the optimal mounting sequence of the components on a printed circuit board. We analyze the problem and propose a heuristic algorithm to solve it. The heuristic can be used for the one head case too. Computational experiences on some real world problems show the effectiveness of the heuristic in terms of speed and solution quality.

Background and Objectives: We aimed to measure the head dimensions on computed tomography (CT) images, to compare them to directly measured head dimensions, and to predict a new parameter of bone thickness for aiding bone conduction implant (BCI) placement. Subjects and Methods: We reviewed the facial and mandibular bone CT images of 406 patients. Their head sizes were analyzed using five parameters included in the 6th Size Korea project, and they were divided into age groups (ranging from the 10s to the 80s). We compared the head length, head width, sagittal arc, bitragion arc, and head circumference in the CT and Size Korea groups. We also added the parameter bone thickness for aiding BCI placement. Results: All the head size parameters measured using CT were significantly smaller than those measured directly, with head length showing the smallest difference at 7.85 mm. The differences in the other four parameters between the two groups according to patient age were not statistically significantly different. Bone thickness had the highest value of 4.89±0.93 mm in the 70s and the lowest value of 4.10±0.99 mm in the 10s. Bone thickness also significantly correlated with head width (p=0.038). Conclusions: Our findings suggested that the CT and direct measurements yielded consistent data. Moreover, CT enabled the measurement of bone sizes, including bone thickness, that are impossible to measure directly. CT measurements may complement direct measurements in the Size Korea data when used for developing bone conduction hearing devices (BCIs and headsets) for the Korean population.

Among the various manufacturing processes of composites, the tape lay-up process of thermoset prepreg has many advantages compared to autoclave or hot press forming. It has a high potential to process automation and continuous fabrication .. Fiber placement developed as a logical combination of filament winding and automated tape placement to overcome some of the limitations of each manufacturing method. Fiber placement uses a compaction device to apply direct contact between the incoming materials in the fiber placement head and Heat is added to the materials at the nip point of the compaction roller. This paper will discuss property of thermoset composite as compaction and heat effect in Automated fiber placement

This paper proposes a new method on the EMG AR(autoregressive) modeling in pattern recognition for various head motions. The proper electrode placement in applying AR or cepstral coefficients for EMG signature discrimination is investigated. EMG signals are measured for different 10 motions with two electrode arrangements simultaneously. Electrode pairs are located separately on dominant muscles(S-type arrangement), because the bandwidth of signals obtained from S-type placement is wider than that from C-type(closely in the region between muscles). From the result of EMG pattern recognition test, the proposed mIAR(modified integrated mean autoregressive model) technique improves the recognitions rate around 17-21％ compared with other the AR and cepstral methods.

Objective : Thoracic pedicles have special and specific properties. In particular, upper thoracic pedicles are positioned in craniocaudal plane. Therefore, manipulation of thoracic pedicle screws on the left side is difficult for right-handed surgeons. We recommend a new position to insert thoracic pedicle screw that will be much comfortable for spine surgeons. Methods : We retrospectively reviewed 33 patients who underwent upper thoracic pedicle screw instrumentation. In 15 patients, a total of 110 thoracic pedicle screws were inserted to the upper thoracic spine (T1-6) with classical position (anesthesiologist and monitor were placed near to patient's head. Surgeons were standing classically near to patient's body while patients were lying in prone position). In 18 patients, a total of 88 thoracic pedicle screws were inserted to the upper thoracic spine with the new standing position-surgeons stand by the head of the patient and the anesthesia monitor laterally and under patient's belt level. All the operations performed by the same senior spine surgeons with the help of C-arm. Postoperative computed tomography scans were obtained to assess the screw placement. The screw malposition and pedicle wall violations were divided and evaluated separately. Cortical penetration were measured and graded at either : 1-2 mm penetration, 2-4 mm penetration and >4 mm penetration. Results : Total 198 screws were inserted with two different standing positions. Of 198 screws 110 were in the classical positioning group and 88 were in the new positioning group. Incorrect screw placement was found in 33 screws (16.6%). The difference between total screw malposition by both standing positions were found to be statistically significant (p=0.011). The difference between total pedicle wall violations by both standing positions were found to be statistically significant (p=0.003). Conclusion : Right-handedness is a problem during the upper thoracic pedicle screw placement on the left side. Changing the surgeon's position standing near to patient's head could provide a much comfortable position to orient the craniocaudal plane of the thoracic pedicles.

The fracture of facial bone usually accompanies alveolar bone fracture and dislocation or fracture of teeth. Thus, aside from the reduction of fracture, the reconstruction of occlusion through the rehabilitation of lost teeth should be considered. The dislocation of tooth after trauma accompanying alveolar bone fracture needs bone grafting in case of implant treatment. Although autogenous bone graft shows good prognosis, it has the disadvantage of requiring a secondary surgery. This is a case of a mandibular condyle head fracture accompanied by alveolar bone fracture. The condylar head fragment removed during open reduction was grafted to the alveolar bone fracture site, thereby foregoing the need for secondary surgery.
