Objective: This study aimed to quantify one of the useful upper extremity movements to evaluate motor control abilities between the groups of people with mild and moderate arm impairments performing a door handling task. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Twenty-one healthy participants and twenty-one persons with chronic stroke (9 mild stroke and 12 moderate stroke) were recruited for this study. Stroke participants were divided into 2 groups based on Fugle-Meyer Assessment scores of 58-65 (mild arm) and 38-57 (moderate arm). All they performed door handling task including the pronation and supination phases 3 times. We measured some movement factors which were reaction time, movement time, hand of peak velocity, hand of movement units to perform door handling task using the three-dimensional motion analysis. Results: The majority of kinematic variables showed significant differences among study groups (p<0.05). The reaction time, total and phase of movement time, hand of peak velocity, the number of movement units discriminated between healthy participants and persons with moderate upper limb stroke (p<0.05). In addition, reaction time, total and phase of movement time, the number of movement units discriminated between those with moderate and mild upper limbs of stroke patients (p<0.05). Conclusions: Three-dimensional kinematic motion analysis in this study was a useful tool for assessing the upper extremity function in different subgroups of people with stroke during the door handling task. These kinematic variables may help clinicians understand the arm movements in door handling task and consist of discriminative therapeutic interventions for stroke patients on upper extremity rehabilitation.

Forestry crane work in a forest harvester or forwarder is regarded as one of most hard work requiring a very high level of operation skill. The operator must handle two or more multi-axes joysticks simultaneously to control the multiple manipulators for maneuvering the crane-tip to its intended location. This study has been carried out to develop a crane-tip controller which can intuitively maneuver the crane-tip, resulting in improving the productivity by decreasing the technical difficulty of control as well as reducing the workload. The crane-tip controller consists of a single 2-axis joystick and a control algorithm run on microcontroller. Lab-scale forestry crane was constructed using electric cylinders. The crane-tip control algorithm has the crane-tip follow the waypoints generated on the given path considering the dead band region using LBO (Lateral Boundary Offset). A speed control gain to change the speed of relevant cylinders relatively is applied as well. By the P (Proportional) control within the control interval of 20 msec, the average error of crane-tip control on the predefined straight path turned out to be 14.5 mm in all directions. When the joystick is used the waypoints are generated in real time by the direction signal from the joystick. In this case, the average error of path control was 12.4 mm for straight up, straight forward and straight down movements successively at a certain constant speed setting. In the slant movement of crane-tip by controlling two axes of joystick simultaneously, the movement of crane-tip was controlled in the average error of 15.9 mm when the crane-tip is moved up and down while moving toward forward direction. It concluded that the crane-tip control was possible using the control algorithm developed in this study.

Objective: This study investigated the impact of a single piezocision in the maxillary alveolar process on the speed of tooth movement. The null hypothesis was that the speed of tooth movement will be equal with and without piezocision. Methods: All maxillary molars on one side were moved against the combined incisors in 10 ten-week-old male Wistar rats. Under general anesthesia, a force of 25 cN was applied on either side using a Sentalloy closed coil spring. After placing the orthodontic appliance, vertical corticision was performed using a piezotome under local anesthesia, 2 mm mesial from the mesial root of the first molar on a randomly selected side; the other side served as the control. At the beginning of the treatment, and 2 and 4 weeks later, skull micro-computed tomography was performed. After image reconstruction, the distance between the mesial root of the first molar and the incisive canal, and the length of the mesial root of the first maxillary molar were measured. Moreover, the root resorption score was determined as described by Lu et al. Results: Significantly higher speed of tooth movement was observed on the corticision side; thus, the null hypothesis was rejected. The loss of root length and root resorption score were significantly more pronounced after piezocision than before. A strong correlation was observed between the speed of tooth movement and root resorption on the surgical side, but the control side only showed a weak correlation. Conclusions: Piezocision accelerates orthodontic tooth movement and causes increased root resorption.

유비쿼터스 시대가 다가오면서 앞으로 가정 및 회사 등 인간이 거주하며 생활하는 공간에서의 좀 더 편리하고 효율적인 다양한 정보를 인지시켜 줄 수 있는 환경이 구축되어야 한다. 이를 기반으로 유비쿼터스 주변 장치들의 네트워크는 인간에게 많은 정보와 편리성이 좀 더 효율적으로 이루어져야 할 것이다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 센서모듈에서 추출되는 데이터를 신경망과 퍼지 알고리즘을 사용해 동작인식의 패턴을 분류하여 인간행동의 사고를 파악한다. 이러한 패턴의 분류를 통해 홈 네트워크 시스템과의 센서모듈의 통신제어가 가능하게 된다. 이를 바탕으로 패턴이 분류된 행동들의 명령으로 여러 가전기기라든지 홈 네트워크 시스템의 제어방식을 더욱 간단히 제어하며, 인간의 건강상태를 파악함으로써 인간행동과 상태에 따른 유비쿼터스 환경의 제어가 이루어 질 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of low-power laser irradiation on the periodontium of the orthodontically moved tooth of rat. The experimental materials were 30 male rats. Orthodontic appliances were placed bilaterally between maxillary first molar and incisor teeth and the force was 1 Oz. Experimental animals were divided into eight groups as follows: no movement, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 14th, and 28th day groups. In all experimental animals except no movement group, low-power laser was irradiated on the unilateral maxillary first molar (experimental side), but on the contralateral side, only orthodontic force was applied (control side). The histologic effects of laser on the periodontium of the orthodontically moved tooth on the consecutive experimental days were as follows: In the experimental side, by the biostimulating effect of laser, 1. Hyalinized tissue was formed later and eliminated earlier than in the control side. 2. Undermining bone resorption was occurred earlier than in the control side. 3. More osteoid tissue was deposited and calcified earlier than in the control side. 4. The most prominent changes were formation of new blood vessels and dilatation of old blood vessels.

Most previous robots had used the wheels as means for movement. These structures were relatively simple and easy to control and this is why the method had been used until currently. However, there are many realistic problems to move from one place to another in human life, for instance, steps and edges. So we need to develop the two-legged walking humanoid robot. The 2-legged walking Robot system has been vigorously developed in so many corporations and academic circles of several countries. However, 2-legged walking Robot has been mostly studied in view of the static walk. We design a stable humanoid Robot which can walk in high-speed through the research of the dynamic walk in this paper. Especially, worldwide companies have been interested in developing humanoid robots for a long time to solve the before mentioned problems so that they can become more familiar with the human form. The most important thing, for the novel two-legged walk, is to create a stable and fast walking in two-legged robots. For realization of this movement, an optimal mechanical design of 12 DOFS, a distributed control and a parallel processing control are implemented in this paper. This paper proves that high speed and stable walking can be achieved, through experiments.

An attitude controller for a 6-DOF hovering autonomous underwater vehicle (HAUV) is implemented. We add a vertical thruster, an underwater camera, a wireless communication device, and a DVL to the HAUV that was developed a year ago. The HAUV is composed of 5 thrusters, 2 servo-motors, and 4 apparatus parts. Two rotating thrusters control the surge, heave, and roll of the vehicle. The vertical thruster controls the pitch, and two horizontal thrusters control the sway and yaw of the vehicle. The HAUV’s movement in each direction is controlled by 6 PID controllers. Each PID controller controls the propulsive force and angle of a thruster. In a horizontal and vertical movement experiment, we showed the feasibility of the proposed controller by maintaining a given depth and heading angle of the HAUV.

단진자 운동의 분석은 일반적으로 분석하며, 분석 결과는 자료에서 찾아볼 수가 있다. 일반적으로 단진자 운동의 해석은 뉴턴 제2법칙에 의해 선형화된 모델에서 속도, 주기, 시간에 따른 각도등이 계산된다. 본 논문에서는 단진자 운동을 비선형 하중제어 모델로 구현해 진자의 주기 운동을 해석한다. 즉 운동하는 진자의 위치에 따라 실시간으로 변화하는 하중을 분석해본다. 그리고 운동하는 진자의 위치 제어를 위해 필요한 하중 제어 값을 찾아보고, 마지막으로 선형화된 모델에서 구해진 값과 비선형 모델에서 구해진 값과 비교한다. 이와 같이 진자의 운동 및 비행체를 포함한 운동하는 물체를 제어하기 위해 비선형 하중제어 모델이 다양하게 적용될 수 있음을 나타낸다.
