Porous hydroxyapatite has been widely used as clinical implanted material. However, it has poor mechanical properties. To increase the strength as well as the biocompatibility of the porous HAp based artificial bone, it was fabricated by multi-extrusion process. Hydroxyapatite and graphite powders were mixed separately with ethylene vinely acetate and steric acid by shear mixing process. Hydroxyapatite composites containing porous microstructure were fabricated by arranging it in the die and subject it to extrusion process. Burn-out and sintering processes were performed to remove the binder and graphite as well as increase the density. The external and internal diameter of cylindrical hollow core were approximately 10.4 mm and 4.2 mm, respectively. The size of pore channel designed to increase bone growth (osteconduction) was around 150 ${\mu}m$ in diameter. X-ray diffraction analysis and SEM observation were performed to identity the crystal structure and the detailed microstructure, respectively.

The probe with a 110mm diameter is originated and fabricated to measure hole accuracies of extremely deepholes. It consists of a measuring unit, an actuator unit, an active rotation stopper and a feed unit. The rolling of the probe is restricted and adjusted by the active rotation stopper. The probe is fed by the feed unit. In this measurement, accuracies are measured by using a rolling proof apparatus and machine table of deep hole boring machine instead of the stopper and the feed unit, respectively. Straightness, roundness and a diameter of a 110-mm hole are measured by the probe and testers made for each measuring purpose ...

A SMA actuator fabricated in this paper generates the large force and it´s structure is very simple. The SMA actuator was fabricated by small size with diameter of 9mm and length of 27mm and also it´s actuations toward all the directions can be acquired because of three springs which was fabricated with diameter of 2.4mm and 28 turns, We showed into applicability to smart catheter by analyzing accurately the dynamic characteristics such as heading angle, force, displacement.

In this study, the tensile tests and hardness tests were carried out for the joints characteristics in friction stir welds of Al 5052 alloy. Three way factorial design was applied to optimal welding conditions, whose control factors were shoulder diameter, rotation speed and welding speed of tool. From the results of this study, the optimum condition for maximum yield strength was predicted as the shoulder diameter of 15 mm, welding speed of 500mm/min and rotating speed of 1000 rpm. And the presumed optimal yield strength was estimated to be $167.36{\pm}7.82MPa$ with 99% reliability. In addition the increaser rotation speed of tool and the decreaser welding speed, the decreaser the hardness at welding part.

Ship operators use anchor dredging for the collision avoidance or safety of ship handling in a harbour or narrow channel. This paper clarifies the technique of the anchor dredging known as a common sense for. the seafarers A mathematical model at low speed range is established for the estimation of ship motion under the assumed environment, simulate the advance speed , and turning ability under the anchor dredging or not. The results shows good agreement with the conventional seamanship and their experiences as follows. Ahead speed used the anchor dredging is slower(speed reduction ratio:40%) than the normal ahead speed and the stopping distance is shorter (distance reduction ratio:40%)than the normal ahead distance without the anchor dredging.. Turning speed used anchor dredging is slower(speed reduction ratio:72%)than the normal ahead speed and the tactical diameter is shorter(distance reduction ratio:24%)than the diameter by the normal turning without the anchor dredging.

In this study, the micro shaft was fabricated by high speed etching process. The integration of the kinetic energy of circumference and the effect of etching takes less time to fabricate the micro shaft than any other conventional methods. First, the end part of the rod(SKD11) was dipped in chemical solution(FeCl$_3$) and the rod rotated at high speed(3500-10000rpm). Experimental setup was simply composed of high speed motor. chemical solution and $\Phi$ 1 mm rod. The main factors of diameter control are chemical concentration, reaction time and rpm. has a result. the diameter of the dipped rod was decreased by 200${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ by high speed rotation and its shape and surface was good. From this experiment, we found the possibility to manufacture micro shaft without very expensive equipment.

Pipe cooling method is widely used for reduction of hydration heat and control of cracking in mass concrete structures. However, in order to effectively apply pipe cooling systems to concrete structure, the coefficient of flow convection relating the thermal transfer between inner stream of pipe and concrete must be estimated. In this study, a device measuring the coefficient of flow convection is developed. Since a variation of thermal distribution caused by pipe cooling has a direct effect in internal forced flows, the developed testing device is based on the internal forced flow concept. Influencing factors on the coefficient of flow convection are mainly flow velocity, pipe diameter and thickness, and pipe material. finally a prediction model of the coefficient of flow convection is proposed using experimental results from the developed device. According to the proposed prediction model, the coefficient of flow convection increases with increase in flow velocity and decreases with increase in pipe diameter and thickness. Also, the coefficient of flow convection is largely affected by the type of pipe materials.

For investigation into gas permeation characteristics, the porous alumina membrane with asymmetrical structure, having upper layer with 10 nanometer under of pore diameter and lower layer with 36 nanometer of pore diameter, was prepared by anodic oxidation using DC power supply of constant current mode in an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid. The aluminium plate was pre-treated with thermal oxidation, chemical polishing and electrochemical polishing before anodic oxidation. Because the pore size depended upon the electrolyte, electrolyte concentration, temperature, current density, and so on, the the membranes were prepared by controling the current density, as a very low current density for upper layer of membrane and a high current density for lower layer of membrane. By control of current quantity, the thicknesses of upper layer of membranes were about $6{\;}{\mu}m$ and the total thicknesses of membranes were about $80-90{\;}{\mu}m$. We found that the mechanism of gas permeation depended on model of the Knudsen flow for the membrane prepared at each condition.

It is very important to achieve a high reproducibility in the ultrasonic measurement of bone mineral density. In this study, we examined number of sampling waveform, control of temperature, diameter of region of interest as factors to improve reproducibility. We decided the optimal number of waveforms to be converted to frequency domain as period of 1. We have minimized the effects of variable temperature and constrained generation of micro bubble by keeping temperature within a range of $32\pm0.5^{\circ}C$ with a precise temperature controlling algorithm. We also found the optimal diameter of region of interest to be 13mm. In this paper, we demonstrated the improved reproducibility by controlling various factors affecting the ultrasonic measurement of bone mineral density.
