We present a series of simple but novel nanopatterning methodologies inspired by traditional mechanical machining processes involving rolling, pullout, and forging. First, we introduce roll-to-roll nanopatterning, which adapts conventional rolling for continuous nanopatterning. Then, nano-inscribing and nano-channel lithography are demonstrated, whereby seamless nanogratings can be continuously pulled out, as in a pullout process. Finally, we discuss vibrational indentation micro- and nanopatterning. Similarly to the forging/indentation process, this technique employs high-frequency vertical vibration to indent periodic micro/nanogratings onto a horizontally fed substrate. We discuss the basic principles of each process, along with its advantages, disadvantages, and potential applications. Adopting mature and reliable traditional technologies for small-scale machining may allow continuous nanopatterning techniques to cope with scalable and low-cost nanomanufacturing in a more productive and trustworthy way.

Development of synthetic vinegar has been focused on the acidic taste typically caused by acetic acid. Recently, consumer interest in fermented vinegars which contain a variety of valuable nutrients increased growth of the beverage industry. Vinegar beverages made of a variety of foreign fruits such as pineapple, grapefruit, and aloe are being commercialized to meet market needs from female consumers interested in beauty. However, commercialization of traditional fermented vinegars using regional products such as rice has not been successful yet compared to fruit vinegar beverages. Systematic research for development and commercialization of functional value-added traditional vinegars made of regional agricultural products should be performed. In this study, type and manufacturing methods of traditional vinegar were reviewed based on classic literatures.

Background: There have been some concerns related to manual handling of large items in industry. Manual handling operations of large sheet metal may expose workers to risks related to efficiency as well as occupational safety and health. Large sheet metals are difficult to move and burdensome to lift/transfer, and handling the sharp sheet edges may result in contact stress and/or cut injuries on the workers. Methods: Through observation, interview, and immersive simulation activities, a few problems related to current handling of sheet metals were identified. A sheet metal trolley-lifter was then designed and fabricated to address these issues. A pilot study on the use of the developed trolley-lifter for handling sheet metals was conducted to compare between the new and traditional handling methods. Results: The pilot study of the trolley-lifter showed promising results in terms of improving the cycle time, manpower utilization, and working postures compared with the traditional handling method. Conclusion: The trolley-lifter offers an alternative solution to automation and a mechanized assistive device by providing a simple mechanism to assist the handling of sheet metals effectively and safely.

The text of 'Jeungbosallimgyeongjae' was reviewed to study the manufacture of vinegar and to investigate the changes made to the manufacturing process over time, other works such as 'Eumsigdimibang(1670s)', 'Sallimgyeongjae(1715)', 'Gyuhapchongseo(1815)', 'Juchan(1800년대경)' and 'Chosun-mussangsinsikyorijaebeop(1930)', 'Chosun-eumsikmandeneubeop(1946)' were compared. In both 'Eumsigdimibang', and 'Sallimgyeongjae' there are only three statements on vinegar manufacturing theory. For 'Sallimgyeongjae' these statesments are recorded specifically in the 'Chison' section. This book contains the following topics: the proper number of days for vinegar fermentation vinegar storage theory, how to maintain the vinegar in the pot, and nine vinegar manufacturing theories. 'Gyuhapchongseo' discusses the proper or improper number of days to ferment vinegar, and offers four general theories on vinegar manufacture. 'Ju-Chan' is a book of recipes from the latter era of the Chosun Dynasty. There are three statesments on 'yangchobang' recorded in this book. 'Chosun-mussangsinsikyorijaebeop' contains a general summary on vinegar that includes the theory of vinegar production, the right number of days for fermenting vinegar, clues for maintaining the vinegar in the pot, the method for making vinegar from spoiled alcohol, and finally, how to keep vinegar from molding The book also includes 11 statesments on the theory of vinegar manufacture. In 'Chosun-eumsikmandeneubeop', there are two statesments on vinegar manufacturing theory recorded. To study the use of vinegar in cooking as well as the change in manufacturing theories over time, we selected 'Eumsigdimibang', 'Sallimgyeongjae', 'Gyuhapchongseo', 'Chosun-mussangsinsikyorijaebeop' for a comparative analysis with the book 'Jeungbosallimgyeongje'. From this comparison of the texts we were able to learn the scientific nature of traditional foods. In addition, current vinegar manufacturing practices are changing the originally enjoyed flavors ghat are found with traditional vinegars. By the investigation of historic recipe book 'Ju-Chan,' and given the regular use of vinegar on cooking, we have found the means to reproduce the relished tastes of the past.

The automobile cowl cross bar which is a backbone frame part inside the cockpit module has been designed with more complex geometries recently due to demands of its enhanced functions and reduced weight of car. The traditional manufacturing process using welding between tubes with different diameters shows several problems such as poor mechanical characteristics and appearance, etc. Therefore, in this study, manufacturing processes which can eliminate the welding process were developed by applying one-piece metal forming processes such as tube drawing and radial swaging. As results, it was found that the one-piece manufacturing processes give better bending strength than the traditional welding process and the swaging process shows the lowest manufacturing cost.

This paper is intended to propose what manufacturing configuration (manufacturing planning and shop floor control) is suitable for the tire industry. Basically tire-manufacturing process is mixed-products, parallel-disconnected-flow-shop. Both throughput time and cycle tine are very short, the variety of tires is very high, the setup time is long, shop floor data reporting requirements is high, and there are many equipments and people working. And with no exception, tire industry also now confronts increasing requirements of delivery conformance with the above peculiar characteristics of tire manufacturing and changing market environments, this paper suggests, weekly master scheduling with no MRP is desirable and traditional kanban is right selection for shop floor control/scheduling. This paper describes why this configuration should be, using the manufacturing engineering principles and some new insights like four primitives of parallel flow shop. Generally known that shop with high parallel-product-mix and long setup time isn't good candidate for kanban. The four primitives of parallel flow shop explain why kanban is also useful scheduling technique in that environment.
