The rapid development of airlines, has made airports busier and more complicated. The assignment of scheduled to available gates is a major issue for daily airline operations. We consider the over-constrained airport gate assignment problem(AGAP) where the number of flights exceeds the number of available gates, and where the objectives are to minimize the number of ungated flights and the total walking distance or connection times. The procedures used in this project are to create a mathematical model formulation to identify decision variables to identify, constraints and objective functions. In addition, we will consider in the AGAP the size of each gate in the terminal and also the towing process for the aircraft. We will use a greedy algorithm to solve the problem. The greedy algorithm minimizes ungated flights while providing initial feasible solutions that allow flexibility in seeking good solutions, especially in case when flight schedules are dense in time. Experiments conducts give good results.

A four-legged mobile robot can move on the plain terrain with mobility and stability, but if there exist any obstacles on the terrain of the motion direction, it takes extra times for a mobile robot to cross those obstacles and the stability should be considered during motion. The main objevtive is the study of a quadruped which can cross obstacles with better mobility, stability and fuel economy than any other wheeled or tracked vehicles. Vertical step, isolated wall and ditch are the basic obstacles and by understanding those three cases perfectly, a quadruped can move on any mixed rough terrain as 4-legged animal moves. Each leg of a determine the crossing capability in a static analysis. A quadruped can be simplified with links and joints. By applying the research method, a quadruped can determine the control procedures as soon as it receives the terrain informations from scanner and finally can be moved as animals move with mobility and stability.

Indoor localization for pedestrian is the key technology for caring the elderly, the visually impaired and the handicapped in health care districts. It also becomes essential for the emergency responders where the GPS signal is not available. This paper presents newly developed pedestrian localization system using the gyro sensors, the magnetic compass and pressure sensors. Instead of using the accelerometer, the pedestrian gait is estimated from the gyro sensor measurements and the travel distance is estimated based on the gait kinematics. Fusing the gyro information and the magnetic compass information for heading angle estimation is presented with the error covariance analysis. A pressure sensor is used to identify the floor the pedestrian is walking on. A complete ambulatory system is implemented which estimates the pedestrian's 3D position and the heading.

This research suggests pattern design methods for motion through an evaluation of the appearance and motion of three existing kinds of original patterns (K type, N type, and L type) and modified patterns designed by the researcher. The results of the study are as follows. First, the evaluation of appearances showed that the modified patterns of a standing posture received a higher evaluation compared to the original patterns only in N type and in a sitting posture. In addition, the degree of lowering or a natural feel by the pulling of the slacks waist belt in a sitting posture received a higher evaluation than the original patterns. Second, the evaluation of motions showed that modified patterns received a higher evaluation than the original patterns in almost all items. Per each pattern, it showed meaningful differences in questions asking about the degree of comfort as the whole in N type in crouching motions. The L type showed low scores as a whole (both in original patterns and modified patterns) and the K type showed meaningful differences in questions asking about the degree of comfort of the crista iliaca and groin region in the motion of walking at a normal walking pace, ascending stairs and bending the waist 90 degree to the front. Third, the measuring distance the between back waist point of the body and the back waist point of original patterns and modified patterns during motions showed that the modified patterns of all three patterns (N type, L type, and K type) showed less lowering compared to the original forms in the whole pattern as well as individual patterns. The design method of back waist point developed in this research can be regarded as a design method appropriate for motions.

본 연구는 성장호르몬 활성화와 뼈 형성에 효과가 있도록 고안된 성장호르몬 활성화 신발과 일반 런닝화에서의 운동역학적 변인과 성장호르몬 분비에서 어떠한 차이가 나타나는 지에 대한 평가 및 검증을 수행하였다. 연구 수행 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 첫째, 성장호르몬 활성화 신발이 일반 런닝화에 비해 달리기 시 2km 이내 달리기시 통계적으로 성장호르몬 분비가 유의하게 증가되었다. 둘째, 4km 이내의 걷기 운동에서 청소년기에서는 일반 런닝화보다는 성장호르몬 활성화 신발에서 평균적으로 성장호르몬이 많이 분비되는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 성장호르몬 활성화 신발은 걷기동작에서는 일반 런닝화보다 더 큰 부하를 신체에 전이시키고, 달리기에서는 일반 런닝화 보다 더 큰 충격량을 신체에 전달하고, 동시에 신체 일부분에 집중되는 부하를 분산시키고 작은 부하율을 통한 부상 발생원인을 제거함으로써 부상 없이 몸에 자극을 크게 전달, 성장호르몬 분비를 활성화 시킬 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate changes in the balance ability of patients whose head positions were altered due to stroke. Subjects were divided into three groups to determine the effects of the training on dynamic balance and gait. Methods: Forty-two stroke patients were enrolled. The Visual Feedback Training (VFT) group performed four sets of exercises per training session using a Sensoneck device, while the Active Range of Motion (ART) group performed eight sets per training session after receiving education from an experienced therapist. The Visual Feedback with Active Range of Motion (VAT) group performed four sets of active range of motion and two sets of visual-feedback training per session using a Sensoneck device. The training sessions were conducted three days a week for eight weeks. Results: The comparison of changes in dynamic balance ability showed that a significant difference in the total distance of the body center was found in the VFT group (p<0.05) and Significant differences were found according to the training period (p<0.05). The comparison of the 10 m walk test showed that the main effect test, treatment period and interactions between group had statistically significant differences between the three groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Head-adjustment training using visual feedback can improve the balance ability and gait of stroke patients. These results show that coordination training between the eyes and head with visual feedback exercises can be used as a treatment approach to affect postural control through various activities involving the central nervous system.

본 논문에서는 시각장애인들이 보행 시 장애물이나 위험요소로부터 보다 안전하게 보행 할 수 있도록 보조장치를 구현하였다. 초음파 센서를 통해 전방에 있는 장애물을 감지하여 거리별, 각도별로 부저의 소리의 간격과 진동의 세기를 다르게 울리도록 했으며 그에 따라 보행자가 상황을 인지할 수 있게 설계하였다. 조도 센서의 CdS 저항값을 이용해 설정해놓은 빛의 밝기보다 주변이 어두워 졌을 시 LED가 자동 점등 되어 주변 보행자들이 시각장애인을 쉽게 인식할 수 있게 하였으며, 또한 자이로 센서의 기울기를 이용해 보행자가 보조 장치를 놓쳤을 시 부저를 통하여 보조 장치의 위치를 인식할 수 있게 하였다. 그리고 GPS와 블루투스를 이용하여 시각장애인의 위치 및 상황을 보호자에게 전송하여 안전보행을 확인할 수 있게 구현하였다.

Objectives: Chronic diseases, including back pain, result in significant patient morbidity and societal burden. Overall improvement in physical fitness is recommended for prevention and treatment. Walking is a convenient modality for achieving initial gains. Our objective was to determine whether neighbourhood walkability, acting as a surrogate measure of physical fitness, was associated with the presence of chronic disease. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of prospectively collected data from a prior randomized cohort study of 227 patients referred for tertiary assessment of chronic back pain in Ottawa, ON, Canada. The Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) was calculated from patient-completed questionnaires and medical record review. Using patients' postal codes, neighbourhood walkability was determined using the Walk Score, which awards points based on the distance to the closest amenities, yielding a score from 0 to 100 (0-50: car-dependent; 50-100: walkable). Results: Based on the Walk Score, 134 patients lived in car-dependent neighborhoods and 93 lived in walkable neighborhoods. A multivariate logistic regression model, adjusted for age, gender, rural postal code, body mass index, smoking, median household income, percent employment, pain, and disability, demonstrated an adjusted odds ratio of 2.75 (95% confidence interval, 1.16 to 6.53) times higher prevalence for having a chronic disease for patients living in a car-dependent neighborhood. There was also a significant dose-related association (p=0.01; Mantel-Haenszel chi-square=6.4) between living in car-dependent neighbourhoods and more severe CCI scores. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that advocating for improved neighbourhood planning to permit greater walkability may help offset the burden of chronic disease.
