  • Recently, the frequency of stroke disease is increased due to the rapid aging population, and is contributed to the major occurrence factors of the posteriori acquired disability. This study is about an postural change device for the control of supine posture which is an assisted equipment using in daily rehabilitation process for overcoming the disability by the aftereffects of the stoke disease. In this paper, the existing domestic and Japan postural appliances is examined and its comparison and categorization is performed according to its functions and purposes. Here, in order to control the supine posture state, the design method for advanced multi functional system is proposed, which is devised to have an unified mattress control operations of combining the bedsore prevention tube with the supine posture tilting tube. And also, in addition of an smart function, it is designed to enable to perform an RF functions such as the monitoring of the present device state, the alteration of the basic position and the control of alternative floating and supine posture. This system control hardware consists of three main parts : the sensor detection part, the motor driving /control part, and the system control part for bluetooth communication. In results, we confirmed that the system designed by this research is possible to make it practical as an advanced smart postural change device combined by IoT technology in the application field of the recent IT technology.

  • The purpose of this study was to identify the effectiveness of the modified distraction osteogenesis (DO) method with the concept of overdistraction and compression stimulation which have been previously suggested by the authors in 2002 and to explore the optimal distraction-compression ratio and appropriate latency period for the compression force application during consolidation. The experimental specimens were assessed with radiography, histologic findings, and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) after the conventional DO method and the modified DO technique had been applied on rat mandibles. Total 60 rats were used for the study. In experimental group of 54 adult rats, mandibular osteotomies between the first and second molar areas were performed and customized external distractors were applied. The surgeries on 6 rats of control group also were done with same osteotomy technique and DO device application. Final amount of distraction was set-up as 2 mm on both groups. But, in a experimental group of 54 rats, distraction osteogenesis with a compression force were performed with the different distraction-compression ratio and variant latency periods for compression. The three ratio-subgroups were made as distraction 4 mm group with compression 2 mm, distraction 3 mm group with compression 1 mm, and distraction 2.5 mm group with compression 0.5 mm. In addition, The three subgroups with 3, 7, 11 days latency period prior compression were allocated on each ratio-subgroups. Total 9 subgroups consisted of 6 rats on each subgroup. In control group of 6 rats, conventional distraction technique were routinely performed. The rats of control groups were sacrificed on postoperative 3, 6 weeks after 2 mm distraction. The rats in the experimental groups also were sacrificed on the same euthanasia days of control groups to compare the wound healing. Final available specimens were 55 rats except 5 due to osteomyelitis, device dislodgement. Distraction-compression combined group on 6 weeks generally had showed increased bone mineral density than the same period group of conventional distraction technique on the DEXA study. More matured lamellar bone state and extended trabecular pattern in the combined group than those of control group were also observed in the histologic findings on 6 weeks. In the distraction-compression combined groups, the bone density of 2.5 mm distraction subgroups with 0.5 mm compression showed the highest value on the DEXA study among various force ratio groups. In the distraction-compression combined groups, the bone density of 3 day latency period subgroups showed the highest value on the DEXA study among various latency period groups for the compression application. From this study, we could deduce that 1/5 force ratio for the compression versus distraction, 3 day latency period prior compression application would be the most effective condition if modified distraction osteogenesis technique might be applicable. The modified DO method with a compression force may improve the quality of bone regenerate and shorten total treatment period in comparison with conventional DO technique clinically.

  • Micro-fluidics is one of the major technologies used in developing micro-total analytical systems (${\mu}$-TAS), also known as “lab-on-a-chip”. With this technology, the analytical capabilities of room-size laboratories can be put on one small chip. In this paper, we will briefly introduce materials that can be used in micro-fluidic systems and a few modules (mixer, chamber, and sample prep. modules) for lab-on-a-chip to analyze biological samples. This is because a variety of fields have to be combined with micro-fluidic technologies in order to realize lab-on-a-chip.

  • We designed and fabricated a highly sensitive magnetotransistor which employes the emitter region as a Hall plate for inducing Hall voltage across the emitter. The Hall voltage modulates the emitter basic junction bias on both sides of the emitter so that a large collector current difference is resulted. The specially designed $p^+$ ring around the emitter enhances accumulation of drifted electrons in the emitter and thus the Hall voltage. A relative sensitivity of 240/tesla is measured by operating the device in the saturation mode.

  • Photovoltaic-thermal(PVT) collectors are a combination of photovoltaic modules with solar thermal collectors, forming one device that receives solar radiation and produces electricity and heat simultaneously. Of various PV modules, dye-sensitized solar cell(DSC) is a relatively new type of solar cell technology that can transmit light while they can generate electricity. With this aspect, DSC can be applied into solar thermal collectors. The object of this study is to evaluate the thermal performance of PVT collector with DSC. The thermal performance of the DSC PVT combind collector was measured in outdoor conditions with the solar radiation of over $700W/m^2$. In this study, the PVT collector with the 30% light transmittance of DSC achieved its thermal efficiency of about 36%.

  • Exhaust gas containing wood tar of high concentration is discharged from charcoal production kilns. The large amount of emissions are often found by operational failure. The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of an integrated treatment system in treating charcoal production exhaust. The system, which combined a tar collection device and a post-combustion unit, was proposed to remove moisture, wood tar, particulate matter, and other gas-phase pollutants (CO, $CH_4$, total hydrogen carbons) from exhaust gases. Heat recovery units were also applied in the system to utilize waste heat.

  • Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures built from two-dimensional layered materials provide an unprecedented opportunity in designing new material systems because the lack of dangling bonds on the vdW surfaces enables the creation of high-quality heterointerfaces without the constraint of atomically precise commensurability. In particular, the ability to build artificial heterostructures, combined with the recent advent of transition metal dichalcogenides, allows the fabrication of unique semiconductor heterostructures in an ultimate thickness limit for fundamental studies as well as novel device applications. In this talk, we will present the characterization of the electronic and optoelectronic properties of atomically thin p-n junctions consisting of vertically stacked WSe2 and MoS2 monolayers. We observed gate-tunable diode-like current rectification and a photovoltaic response across the p-n interface. Unlike conventional bulk p-n junctions, the tunneling-assisted interlayer recombination of the majority carriers is responsible for the tenability of the charge transport and the photovoltaic response. Furthermore, we will discuss the enhanced optoelectronic characteristics in graphene-sandwiched vdW p-n junctions.
