This paper describes an implementation of virtual teeth modeling for a haptic dental simulation. The system allows dental students to practice dental procedures with realistic tactual feelings. The system requires fast and stable haptic rendering and volume modeling techniques working on the virtual tooth. In our implementation, a volumetric implicit surface is used for intuitive shape modification without topological constraints and haptic rendering. The volumetric implicit surface is generated from input geometric model by using a closest point transformation algorithm. And for visual rendering, we apply an adaptive polygonization method to convert volumetric teeth model to geometric model. We improve our previous system using new octree design to save memory requirement while increase the performance and visual quality.

The problem in improving the positioning precision of a permanent magnet linear synchronous motor(PMLSM) is the large detent force caused by the permanent magnet. The detent force is thought to arise from the difference of the position of a permanent magnet end and a tooth position. In this paper, Three methods of reducing detent force is presented The first method is adjusting the width of permanent magnet. The second method is varying the shape of armature teeth. The third method is the arrangement of the permanent magnet end. This paper compares with the ratio of reducing the detent force according to the three methods.

Because of linear operation by direct drive and compact system, and the free accumulation of position error, LPM is suitable for proportional control valves actuator. In this study, to develop electromagnetic proportional valves actuator we designed tooth shape of double sides LPM and suggested the driving principle based upon the excitation method, It's the magnetic structure is so complex by the cubic effect configuration that finite element analysis is required. By the 3D finite element analysis, we got the magnetic distribution of LPM and analyzed static thrust force characteristics. By this analyzation, we obtained basic data required for the practical use of driving system for the proportional control valves. Thus, considering electrical and mechanical constants we could design and manufacture double sides LPM for the proportional control valves.

In this paper, a new stator shape for axial flux motor was proposed. It consists of tooth and back-yoke laminated and be assembled with each other. The method assembling together has a significant characteristic. It is different direction of lamination between core and back-yoke. This paper shows analysis method considering the lamination direction and analyze characteristic of axial flux motor with stator proposed using 3D finite element method.

In this paper, we evaluated the effect the tooth shape influenced against the thrust force which then was confirmed by experimentation. We analyzed the effect of by measuring static thrust force of the Phases of A and B. With this result, we found that there is an area where the thrust force abruptly decreases because the variance of the airgap permeance is very small following the positions of the stator and the mover. And the unbalance among phases showed almost equal, which means that static thrust force of the phases of A and B is very small because magnetic path of the 2-phase 8-pole HB-type is almost equal.

Broaching is widely used for the machining of inner shaped slots in work-pieces. The broach tool is moved vertically (usually by hydraulic power) through the work-piece. Broaching occurs with the work-pieced fix while the broach tool traverses through material and shears it. To produce a T/F driven gear both an outside cutting and an inside cutting are needed. The outside cut determines the tooth profile and the inside cut determines the inner dimension. Broaching can cause problems with concentricity. In the current study, the characteristics of shearing along the cutting blade and the broaching of a T/F driven gear are considered.

Dental caries is one of the most popular oral disease. The aim of automatic dental cavity detection system is helping dentist to make accurate diagnosis. It is very important to separate cavity from the teeth in the detection system. In this paper, We compared two active contour algorithms, Snake and DRLSE(Distance Regularized Level Set Evolution). To improve performance, image is selected ROI(region of interest), then applied bilateral filter, Canny edge. In order to evaluate the algorithms, we applied to 7 tooth phantoms from incisor to molar. Each teeth contains two cavities of different shape. As a result, Snake is faster than DRLSE, but Snake has limitation to compute topology of objects. DRLSE is slower but those of performance is better.

Composite resin restoration on class II cavities is a challenging procedure since it is tough to replicate proper contact, the natural shape of the tooth, etc. Moreover, it is not familiar with the procedure and tools for this specific situation, neither. Nowadays the patients, however, request more and more composite restorations which are relatively quick and more esthetic. In this case report, the class II composite resin restoration procedure is illustrated step by step. Every step must be considered its final consequence thoroughly. In this approach, we can minimize the finishing procedure and save our effort and time.

As a result of continuous taxonomic studies on the Korean crabs, Carcinus aestuarii Nardo, 1847 belonging to the superfamily Portunoidea is newly reported from Korean waters. Carcinus aestuarii has characteristics as followings: cardiac, hepartic and brachial regions are divided by deep furrow; shape of three lobes in frontal area is flatter with hairy; inside of carpus is with one sharp tooth; the posterior-lateral margin of the carapace is concave, and so on. The examined specimen doesn't have hairy and bump on outer margin of the chelipeds which differed from the previous description of the specimens collected from Tokyo Bay, Japan. Here, the diagnosis and the picture of Korean specimen is provided. Korean portunoids currently consist of 20 species belonging to 10 genera.

The torsion bar, which is a steering torque sensor, is mounted between the steering pinion and the input shaft in the IPA(input pinion assembly). Accurate torque measurement is important to improve the sense of operation, and the straightness of the torsion bar can affect torque measurement. In this study, the amount of bending was measured and the exact shape was analyzed regarding the bending phenomenon in the press-fitting process for torsion bars. The effect of alignment error was analyzed through finite element forming analysis. Process data analysis was conducted for the double-end press fit model. If there is an alignment error of about 10% of the serration tooth height, the indentation load is reduced by about 10%. If there is an alignment error, the torsion bar is rotated.
