Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the test-retest reliability and concurrent validity of the joint angle of the lower extremities during sit-to-stand movements with wearable sensors based on a portable gait analysis system (PGAS), and the results were compared with a analysis system (MAS) to predict the clinical potential of it. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Sixteen persons with stroke (9 males, 7 females) participated in this study. All subjects had the MAS and designed PGS applied simultaneously and eight sensor units of designed PGAS were placed in a position to avoid overlap with the reflexive markers from MAS. The initial position of the subjects was 90º of hip, knee, and ankle joint flexion while sitting on a chair that was armless and backless. The height of the chair was adjusted to each individual. After each trial, the test administrator checked the quality of data from both systems that measured sit-to-stand for test-retest reliability and concurrent validity. Results: As a result, wearable sensor based designed PGAS and MAS demonstrated reasonable test-retest reliability for the assessment of joint angle in the lower extremities during sit-to-stand performance. The intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) for wearable sensor based designed PGAS showed an acceptable test-retest reliability, with ICCs ranging from 0.759 to 0.959. In contrast, the MAS showed good to excellent test-retest reliability, with ICCS ranging from 0.811 to 0.950. In concurrent validity, a significant positive relationship was observed between PGAS and MAS for variation of joint angle during sit-to-stand movements (p<0.01). A moderate to high relationship was found in the affected hip (r=0.665), unaffected hip (r=0.767), affected knee (r=0.876), unaffected knee (r=0.886), affected ankle (r=0.943) and unaffected ankle (r=0.823) respectively. Conclusions: The results of this study indicated that wearable sensor based designed PGAS showed acceptable test-retest reliability and concurrent validity in persons with stroke for sit-to-stand movements and wearable sensors based on developed PGAS may be a useful tool for clinical assessment of functional movement.

팔꿉관절 측방향 일반촬영 검사 시 위팔뼈 양측 위관절융기의 정확한 겹침과 팔꿉관절의 적절한 분리는 매우 중요하다. 그러나 팔꿉관절의 복잡한 해부학적인 구조로 인해서 최적의 영상을 획득하기 어려워 반복적인 검사가 시행되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 팔꿉관절 측방향 일반촬영 검사 시 정확한 영상을 획득할 수 있는 환자의 각도를 조사하고자 하였다. 연구 대상은 20명의 환자로 정해진 연구 절차에 따라 시행되었다. 먼저 아래팔과 테이블 사이의 0°의 각도에서 X선을 수직 입사하여 영상을 획득하였다(대조군). 그 후, 팔꿉관절의 측방향 영상이 부적절하다고 판단될 경우 5° 및 10°의 기울기를 가진 스티로폼 지지대를 이용하여 아래팔의 각도를 조정하여 영상을 획득하였다(실험군). 평가 방법으로는 두 명의 평가자가 리커트 5점 척도를 통해 영상을 평가했고, 평가에 대한 신뢰성은 크론바흐 알파 값을 제시하였다. 결과적으로 처음 검사(대조군)에서 양측 위관절융기의 겹침과 팔꿉관절의 분리가 적절하지 않은 환자들은 아래팔뼈와 테이블 사이에 10° 각도를 설정하였을 때 가장 좋은 영상을 획득할 수 있었다. 이에 대한 정성적 평가 점수는 0°에서 1.6±0.8점, 5°에서 2.7 ± 0.8점, 10°에서 4.4 ± 1.3점이었고, 0°, 5°, 10° 각도에 대한 신뢰도 분석 결과 크론바흐 알파 값은 각각 0.867, 0.697 및 0.922였다. 결론적으로 기존의 검사 자세와 X선 입사 방식을 사용하여 정확한 영상을 얻을 수 없는 경우에는 아래팔과 테이블 사이의 각도를 10°로 설정한 후 우선적으로 영상을 획득하고 차츰 각도를 줄여가면서 영상을 획득한다면 반복 검사의 횟수를 줄이면서 최적의 영상을 얻을 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 JPEG(Joint Photographic Experts Group)영상 디코더에서 영상데이타를 디코딩하는 기술에 관한 것으로, 종래의 정지영상 처리기에서는 허프만 코드화 처리를 하여 제1영상을 부호화한후 분할기반 부호화 방식의 연속영상 처리기법을 사용하였으나 작은화면의 코드화시에도 많은 계산 알고리즘이 필요하고 이미지의 닮음정도를 객관적수치로 표현할 수 없어서 비슷한 이미지를 중복 코드화 및 전송 작업을 하는 결함이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위하여 이미지의 닮음정도를 수치화하고 기준값 이하의 영상은 코드화 작업을 하지않고 계산된 영상 변화값에 의해 구현된 영상으로 대체하여 저장 및 전송하도록 저장용량의 감축 및 시각적으로 전혀 거부감이 없는 정지영상을 구현하였다.

The horizontal fillet joint is one of the most important weld joints in the shipbuilding industry. High-speed rotating arc welding, which can increase the leg length, is an effective way to improve the weld productivity and quality for the horizontal fillet welding. Based on the Taguchi method, the effects of welding parameters on bead characteristics - leg length, asymmetry, undercut, overlap - are investigated fur high-speed welding process. As a result, the adequate welding parameters are selected for the required leg length, symmetric bead and no undercut. Besides, considerably consistent leg length is observed for the horizontal fillet welding with gap variation up to 3mm.

Headaches are one of the most common conditions associated with temporomandibular disorder (TMD). In the present paper, we evaluated the relationship between headache and TMD, determined whether headache influences the symptoms of TMD, and reported two cases of TMD accompanied by headache. Our practical experience and a review of the literature suggested that headache increases the frequency and intensity of pain parameters, thus complicating dysfunctional diseases in both diagnostic and treatment phases. Therefore, early and multidisciplinary treatment of TMD is necessary to avoid the overlap of painful events that could result in pain chronicity.

Laser weldability of aluminized steels of 0.8mm thick has been investigated. Test materials were cut from the commercial steels that were produced at the Coating Mill of POCOS. Test coupons for welding were prepared by using a conventional shearing machine and no additional edge treatment was peformed. Nd:YAG laser welding system was mainly applied to make weld specimens. Test results revealed that almost no spattering was observed even though the welding was peformed with no overlap joint clearance. Bead quality of aluminized steel laser weld was smooth and stable. According to x-ray inspection results, it was proved that the laser welds of aluminized steels were metallurgically defect free.

Experimental analysis was carried out to understand the fatigue phenomena of different thickness stainless steel overlap joining structure by Nd:YAG laser welding. The fatigue life was obtained through fatigue tests with the various levels of applied load. The fatigue life is related with the parameters such as gap condition and penetration depth through experiment. As the results, tensile and fatigue strength were proportional in heat input level and bead width was identified the major factor for joining strength. Also the fatigue life were decreased depend on gap condition, it was more affected at the low load level.

This paper presents two sets of full three-dimensional thermoelastic finite element analyses of superimposed thermo-mechanically loaded Spar Wingskin Joints made with laminated Graphite Fiber Reinforced Plastic composites. The study emphasizes the influence of residual thermal stresses and material anisotropy on the inter-laminar delamination behavior of the joint structure. The delamination has been pre-embedded at the most likely location, i.e., in resin layer between the top and next ply of the fiber reinforced plastic laminated wingskin and near the spar overlap end. Multi-Point Constraint finite elements have been made use of at the vicinity of the delamination fronts. This helps in simulating the growth of the embedded delamination at both ends. The inter-laminar thermoelastic peel and shear stresses responsible for causing delamination damage due to a combined thermal and a static loading have been evaluated. Strain energy release rate components corresponding to the Mode I (opening), Mode II (sliding) and Mode III (tearing) of delamination are determined using the principle of Virtual Crack Closure Technique. These are seen to be different and non-self-similar at the two fronts of the embedded delamination. Residual stresses developed due to the thermoelastic anisotropy of the laminae are found to strongly influence the delamination onset and propagation characteristics, which have been reflected by the asymmetries in the nature of energy release rate plots and their significant variation along the delamination front.

For reliable determination of mechanical characteristics of adhesively bonded joints used e.g. as input data for computer-aided design of complex components, the thick-adherend tensile-shear test according to ISO 11003-2 is the most important material testing method. Although the total displacement of the joint is measured across the polymer layer directly in the overlap zone in order to minimize the influence of the stepped adherends, the substrate deformation must be taken into account within the framework of the evaluation of the shear modulus and the maximum shear strain, at least when high-strength adhesives are applied. In the standard ISO 11003-2 version of 1993, it was prescribed to perform the substrate deformation correction by means of testing a one-piece reference specimen. The authors, however, pointed to the excessive demands on the measuring accuracy of the extensometers connected with this technique in industrial practice and alternatively proposed a numerical deformation analysis of a dummy specimen. This idea of a mathematical correction was included in the revised ISO 11003-2 version of 2001 but in the simplified form of an analytical method based on Hooke's law of elasticity for small strains. In the present work, it is shown that both calculation techniques yield considerably discordant results. As experimental assessment would require high-precision distance determination (e.g. laser extensometer), finite element analyses of the deformation behavior of the bonded joint are performed in order to estimate the accuracy of the obtained substrate deformation corrections. These simulations reveal that the numerical correction technique based on the finite element deformation modeling of the reference specimen leads to considerably more realistic results.
