  • A technique is presented for generating a compound human motion from its primitive motions obtained by a motion capture system. Some human fundamental motions are modeled in a 3-D way and registered as primitive motions. Because the factorization method is used for the motion capture, calibration of video cameras and connection of the motion in the direction of time is both unnecessary. Employing these motions, various compound human motions are generated by connecting the motions after having applied rotation and parallel transformation to them. Linear interpolation is done at the discontinuous boundary between primitive motions and smooth connection is achieved. Experimental results show satisfactory performance of the proposed technique. The technique may contribute to producing various complicated human motions without much effort using a strict motion capture system.

  • Objective To investigate and demonstrate persistent increase of peak cough flow after mechanical in-exsufflator application, in patients with neuromuscular diseases and pneumonia. Methods A mechanical in-exsufflator was applied with patients in an upright or semi-upright sitting position (pressure setting, +40 and $-40cmH_2O$; in-exsufflation times, 2-3 and 1-2 seconds, respectively). Patients underwent five cycles, with 20-30 second intervals to prevent hyperventilation. Peak cough flow without and with assistive maneuvers, was evaluated before, and 15 and 45 minutes after mechanical in-exsufflator application. Results Peak cough flow was 92.6 L/min at baseline, and 100.4 and 100.7 L/min at 15 and 45 minutes after mechanical in-exsufflator application, respectively. Assisted peak cough flow at baseline, 15 minutes, and 45 minutes after mechanical in-exsufflator application was 170.7, 179.3, and 184.1 L/min, respectively. While peak cough flow and assisted peak cough flow increased significantly at 15 minutes after mechanical in-exsufflator application compared with baseline (p=0.030 and p=0.016), no statistical difference was observed between 15 and 45 minutes. Conclusion Increased peak cough flow after mechanical in-exsufflator application persists for at least 45 minutes.

  • Studies on the controlled switching method have been done to prevent the power system surges which cause the insulation deterioration and electro magnetic compatibility (EMC) problems during closing and opening of a circuit breaker. The controlled switching method controls the closing and tripping time in coincidence with the voltage or current to suppress switching surge. It is used to switch condenser bank, no load transformer, and shunt reactor. In this study, basic concept of the controlled switching is introduced, and also the test is performed to find parameters of the controlled switching in a 24kV vacuum circuit. And then, the control device hardware using TMS320C31 DSP has been designed and manufactured. It has been found that the application of IT technology to a circuit breaker is very effective to depress the switching surge.

  • A field experiment was carried out to determine the effects of mechanical and chemical drying agents at mowing on the field drying rate and hay quality of orchardgrass dominant pasture plants. The mower conditioner /chemical drying agent ($K_2CO_3$ 2% conditioning, $K_2CO_3$ 2% + conditioning and control) were treated at different harvest stages (late boot, heading and bloom stage) for hastening hay manufacture in 1996. After field dry, four square bales were made by hay baler, and the visual estimation and nutritive value of hay were evaluated after storing two months. The field drying rate of pasture plants was higher with delayed stage of harvest, and mechanical and mechanical + chemical, but chemical alone was very low. In mower conditioning, the duration of field dry was shortened by 0.5 to 1 day compared with $K_2CO_3$ and 1.5 to 2 days compared with control. The dry matter loss of hay was reduced by late harvest and mechanical, and mechanical + chemical, but the score by chemical alone was very low. The visual score (leafiness, green color, odor and softness) of hay after storage was high in mechanical and mechanical + chemical, but the score by chemical alone was very low. Nutritive value (ADF, NDF, digestibility, and relative feed value) of hay was also high with treatment of mechanical and mechanical + chemical, but the quality by chemical alone was similar compared with control. The quality of hay was very low when harvested at bloom stage. In conclusion, mower conditioning can enhance the field drying rate of orchardgrass dominant pasture plants, however the drying efficiency of chemical drying agent was very low. Harvesting at early heading to heading stage was recommened for manufacture of high quality hay.

  • The surface properties of carbon microfibers (CMFs) are modified by chemical deposition of carbon nanofibers via the so-called ethylene processing. CMFs and the modified CMFs (MCMFs) are investigated as reinforcement additives to fabricate polyethylene (PE) composites with enhanced mechanical characteristics. The mechanical properties of the PE-MCMF composites are found to be better and favorable for applications under harsh climatic conditions such as those in Siberia. Improved adhesive interaction between MCMFs and PE is responsible for these enhanced mechanical properties.

  • Power electronic converters generate the harmonic voltage and current, and these harmonics have the harmful effects on the various components. For example, passive components such as capacitor and inductor, transformer, motor and other components are mainly affected in the power electronic system. Thus, the design and manufacturing of the power converters, which have the harmonic-free or mitigation strategies, are required. In particular, the lifetime and durability of these components are main requirement for enhancing the overall stability of the system. So, in this paper, the harmonics-related problems to the neighbouring components and mitigation research trends are presented.

  • In this paper, we studied the long term durability estimation for crystalline photovoltaic module while exposing to mechanical stress. Solar cell and PV module have many different kinds of stresses from cell to module fabrication. For this reason, some solar cell shows micro crack that decrease crystallization. In here, we expose artificial mechanical load on surface of PV module. Through this, the periodic external force on PV module might give an negative effect. The further analysis is described in the following paper.
