This paper describes a new bike system for the postural balance rehabilitation training. Virtual environment and three dimensional graphic model is designed with CAD tools such as 3D Studio Max and World Up. For the real time bike simulation, the optimized WorldToolKit graphic library is embedded with the dynamic geometry generation method, multi-thread method, and portal generation method. In this experiment, 20 normal adults were tested to investigate the influencing factors of balancing posture. We evaluated the system by measuring the parameters such as path deviation, driving velocity, COP(center for pressure), and average weight shift. Also, we investigated the usefulness of visual feedback information by weight shift. The results showed that continuous visual feedback by weight shift was more effective than no visual feedback in the postural balance control It is concluded this system might be applied to clinical use as a new postural balance training system.

'JOBLESS GROWTH' is a word to explain the world's common problem of unemployment. But, 'highly educated youth unemployment' is the unique condition that Korea society is facing. In this paper, we determine the cause of the problem with causal loop diagram and reach the conclusion. It is the paradigm to be highly educated person and that paradigm became permanent after the Korean War. People think that only highly educated person can bring wealth and honor, so they spend much money for their children's private education to enter university. Though young people receive bachelor's degree, they spend much money to get job. To solve these problems, this paper suggest three solutions. The first is to shift the paradigm to be highly educated person. The second is to expand the opportunities of public education as education system of Finland. And the third is to support the youth aptitude.

This paper proposes a Phase-Shift Triple Full-Bridge (PSTB) Zero-Voltage Zero-Current-Switching (ZVZCS) converter with a high switching frequency and high efficiency. In the proposed converter, all three bridge legs are shared leading-legs, and all three transformers work in the Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM). Thus, all of the switches and diodes in the PSTB ZVZCS can be soft switched. Moreover, since all of the transformers can pass energy from the primary-side to the secondary-side when their primary-side currents are not zero, there is no circulating current. As a result, the PSTB ZVZCS converter can achieve a high efficiency at high operating frequencies. A theoretical analysis and the characteristics of the proposed converter are presented and verified on a 1MHz 200~300V/24V 1.2kW hardware prototype. The proposed converter can reach a peak efficiency of 96.6%.

This paper proposes a PWM phase-shift circuit to make that the LED lighting system distributes the channel currents evenly for any number of LED strings by generating evenly phase-shifted PWM signals for multiple LED driver ICs. The evenly distributed channel currents reduce the peak current, the decoupling capacitor size, and EMI noise. The PWM phase-shift circuit makes an arbitrary degree of PWM phase-shift by using a resistor and a capacitor. It measures the RC delay once. It reduces the number of external resistors and capacitors by providing zero and 180 degree phase-shift modes requiring no resistor and capacitor. An LED driver IC with the PWM phase-shift circuit was fabricated with a $0.35{\mu}m$ BCDMOS process. The PWM phase-shift circuit receives a PWM signal of 50 Hz~20 kHz at $f_{CLK}=450kHz$ and it generates a $0{\sim}360^{\circ}$ phase-shifted PWM signal with $R=0{\sim}1.1M{\Omega}$ at C=1 nF and $f_{PWM}=1kHz$. The measured phase errors are 1.74~3.94% due to parasitic capacitances.

본 논문에서는 손 모양 인식을 이용한 비전기반의 모바일 로봇제어 시스템을 제안한다. 손 모양을 인식하기 위해서는 움직이는 카메라로부터 정확한 손의 경계선을 추출하고 추적하는 것이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 초기 윤곽선 위치 및 경계에 강건하고, 빠른 물체를 정확히 추적할 수 있는 mean shift를 이용한 활성 윤곽선 모델(ACM) 추적 방법을 개발하였다. 제안된 시스템은 손 검출기, 손 추적기, 손 모양 인식기, 로봇 제어기 4가지 모듈로 구성된다. 손 검출기는 영상에서 피부색 영역으로 정확한 모양을 손으로 추출한 이후 활성 윤곽선 모델(ACM) 과 mean shift를 사용하여 손 영역을 정확히 추적한다. 마지막으로 Hue 모멘트에 이용하여 손의 형태를 인식한다. 제안된 시스템의 적합성을 평가하기 위하여 2족 보행로봇 RCB-1에서 실험이 수행되었다. 실험 결과는 제안된 시스템의 효율성을 증명하였다.

Accident reports from 1991 to 2000 of a steel company were used to analyze which factors induce industrial accidents. The subjects were 8,311 blue-collar workers, who sustained 114 occupational injuries and work on a continuous full-day 3-team 3-shift system of backward rotation(mornings to afternoons to nights). With respect to marital status, the occupational injury rate(OIR) on the married workers was significantly higher compared to unmarried workers. With respect to no, the OIR of those in their early 20s was significantly higher when compared to other age groups. The OIR of highly educated workers showed a reduction when compared with lower educated workers. The OIR of shift workers were significantly higher compared with the daytime workers. The OIR of type of work decreased across the steel manufacturing process, rolling process, machine maintenance section forwarding products section to the field management section. With respect to the block of shift work(morning, afternoon, and night shifts) by the type of work, the OIR of the night shift was higher than those of the morning shift in the steel manufacturing process or forwarding products section. The OIR of the machine maintenance section was slightly higher in the morning shift than those of the night shift. The OIR of the time of day of the shift workers reached a peak between 09:00 and 11:00. The OIR of a slight injury to shift workers decreased across the night, afternoon, to morning shifts whereas the OIR of a serious injury tended to decrease across the night, morning, to afternoon shift. The body parts most commonly injured were the arm and the crus.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the impact of a nurse shift improvement pilot project on nurses' shift adjustment, work-life balance, and turnover intention, as well as nurses' experiences of participating in the pilot project. Methods: An explanatory sequential mixed-methods study was performed. Survey data was collected from a total of 1,051 nurses both in participant and non-participant groups. For the qualitative study, focus group interviews were conducted with 22 nurses who participated in the shift improvement pilot, including 12 staff nurses, 7 nurse managers, and 3 substitute nurses. Results: There were significant positive effects on the key variables of nurses' shift adjustment, work-life balance, and turnover intention in the group that participated in the nurse shift improvement pilot project. Based on the qualitative study, participants in the shift improvement pilot project indicated that it enabled nurses to recover their circadian rhythm, and achieve a better work-life balance, and they wanted to continue working as a nurse, and hoped expanded application of the pilot project. Conclusion: In order for expanded implementation of the pilot project and continued improvement in the shift system, we recommend establishing compensation standard, systematizing the use of substitute nurses, developing guidelines for shift schedules, and expanding the shift improvement pilot project to other departments such as the emergency room.

We report on a new type dc-dc converter design that combines the advantage of dc ripple noise elimination and high efficiency. As potential low cost solar cells, DSC module and the panel's system efficiency and stability are still critical problems to the way of marketing. In this study, a new three-step dc-dc converter scheme with the phase-shift-carrier technology is proposed to apply for solar power system. We have achieved power conversion efficiency around 94.88%.

본 논문에서는 결합 변환 상관 평면에 이동 변위에 따른 위상 성분의 영향을 또 다른 암호화 매개변수로 이용하여 무작위 위상 영상과 매개 변수 값을 암호화요소로 사용하는 광 암호화방법을 제안하였다. 암호화과정 시 사용자만이 알고 있는 이동 변위 수치를 원 영상에 더하여 위상 변조한 후, 위상 변조한 무작위 위상과 공간 영역에서 곱한다. 곱해진 영상을 푸리에 변환을 하여 최종 암호화 영상을 생성하며, 이 때 키 영상은 무작위 위상 영상을 푸리에 변환하여 얻는다. 생성된 암호화 영상은 원 영상을 재생 시키 영상과 이동 변위 수치 정보가 동시에 필요로 하며, 키 영상은 복소함수로 세기 검출기로 쉽게 복제가 힘들뿐만 아니라 설사 키 영상이 복제하거나 도난 또는 분실된 경우에도 불법 사용자는 이동 변위 정보를 획득해야만 원 영상 정보를 재생할 수 있으므로, 좀 더 높은 암호화 수준으로 원 영상 정보를 보호할 수 있다. 복호화 과정은 결합 변환 상관 평면에 암호화 영상과 키 영상을 암호화 시 사용한 이동 변위 값에 따라 위치시켜 간단히 구현할 수 있으며, 간섭계 구조나 4-f 상관기 구조를 이용하지 않으므로 광축 정렬이나 외부 환경 변화에 영향을 받지 않고 원 영상을 재생할 수 있다.
