As rate in an elderly population and expanding their range of activity rapidly increase, the demographics of the elderly population on a use of transportation also rise. Elderly pedestrians often find it difficult to react promptly to the traffic accidents as they are less perceptive of the dangers present under the situation. More than half of the elderly traffic accidents are elderly pedestrian accidents in road. Therefore, we design and implement smart safety hat for safety of elderly pedestrian. The smart safety hat binds stripe-shaped LED around a hat in order for a driver to perceive pedestrian easy and quickly. Features of smart safety hat include controlling the number of LEDs by using a light sensor and warning through vibration using a sound sensor. Also, we used Bluetooth to communicate with the smartphone to enable user customization of the light and numbers of LEDs.

The hat shaped section members, spot welded strength resisting structures are the most energy absorbing ones of automobile components during the front-end collision. Under the static axial collapse load in velocity of 10mm/min and quasi-static collapse load in velocity of 1000mm/min, the collapse characteristics of the hat shaped section and double hat shaped section member have been analyzed by axial collapse tests with respect to the variations of spot weld pitches on the flanges. In addition, the quasi-static collapse simulations have been implemented in the same condition to the experiment's using FEM package, LS-DYNA3D. The simulated results have been verified in comparison with these from the quasi-static axial collapse tests. With the computational approaches the optimal energy absorbing structures can be suggested. Simulations are so helpful that the optimized data be supplied in designing vehicles in advance.

Recently, as the proportion of the elderly population in Korea has increased rapidly, it has entered an aging society. As the scope of social activities of the elderly increases, the risk of safety accidents is also increasing. The traffic accident rate of elderly pedestrians is higher than ordinary people. Although various smart devices for the elderly are researched and developed, electronic components are often used. Electronic devices may not be able to be used if charging is not regularly. In this paper, a smart hat, a smart system for the elderly and the weak, was implemented using solar panels. The system uses solar energy to provide reliable use of smart devices. It is believed to be helpful not only for the elderly but also for the weak people by easy to wear the hat.

본 연구에서는 서열환경하에서의 안전모 착용과 관련된 생리학적 온열반응을 조사하고 아울러 일반적인 안전모에 통풍을 목적으로 구멍을 뚫어 놓은 안전모가 작업시 체열방산, 체온의 항상성과 같은 생리반응에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 검토를 실시하고자 성인 남자 5명을 대상으로 착용실험을 실시하였다. 구멍이 없는 일반적인 형태의 무공 작업 안전모와 통기를 목적으로 구멍을 뚫어 놓은 유공 작업 안전모를 대조군으로 하여, 온도 30$\pm$1$^{\circ}C$, 습도 55$\pm$10%R.H의 인공기후실에서 휴식과 운동을 되풀이하는 총70분간의 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 직장온과 심박수는 유공안전모 착용시가 무공안전모 착용시 보다 유의하게 낮게 나타났으며, 체열평형과 관련하여 신체기능의 항상성을 유지하는 데에 유공안전모를 착용하는 것이 더 효율적임을 알 수 있었다. 2.각 부위의 피부온과 평균 피부온은 유공안전모 착용시가 무공안전모 착용시보다 유의하게 낮았는데 특히 발한이 다른 부위보다 먼저 시작되는 이마에서 더욱 두드러지게 나타났다. 이는 안전모 착용으로 체온이 상승되어 피부온과 평균 피부온의 상승으로 이어지는 과정에서 유공안전모 착용시 가 무공안전모 착용시보다는 더 유리하다는 것을 알수 있었다. 3. 혈압은 전 구간에 걸쳐 유공안전모 착용시가 무공 안전모 착용시 보다 낮게 나타났다. 유공안전모 착용시가 무공안전모 착용시 보다 혈액을 통해 전달되는 체열의 상승이 억제되고 피부온과 심박수의 상승이 억제되는 것을 알수 있었는데 이것이 곧 혈압의 과다상승 방지와 인체부담의 경감으로 연결되었다고 사료된다. 4. 발한량은 유공안전모 착용시가 무공안전모 착용시보다 낮은 값을 나타내 보였다. 운동으로 인해 높아진 머리부분의 온도는 통풍을 목적으로 구멍을 뚫어 놓은 유공안전모를 착용했을 때 통기구멍으로 공기가 순환되어 온도가 과도하게 상승하는 것이 방지된다. 따라서 서열환경하에서의 체온상승이 억제됨에 따라 낮은 발한량을 나타내 보였다. 안전모내의 기후에서 유공안전모 착용시가 무공안전모 착용시보다 유의하게 더 낮은 온도를 나타내었고, 안전모내 습도는 운동시에 유공안전모 착용시가 무공안전모 착용시보다 다소 낮은 경향을 보였다. 통기를 목적으로 구멍을 뚫어 놓은 유공안전모를 착용함으로 인해 모자내의 더운 공기가 외부와 순환되어 무공안전모 착용시 보다는 온도가 낮게 나타났고 땀이 유공안전모의 구멍을 통해 증발을 일으켜 과도하게 습해지는 것을 방지 할 수 있었다. 5. 주관적 감각으로 온냉감, 습윤감, 쾌적감, 피로감을 측정하였는데 유공안전모 착용시가 무공안전모 착용시보다 더 낮은 주관적 감각 수치를 나타내어 착용감이 더 좋았음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 근력측정에서 무공안전모 착용시가 유공안전모 착용시 보다 평가 수치 가 낮게 나타나 더 피로한 것을 알수 있다. 이상의 결과에서 통기를 목적으로 구멍을 뚫어놓은 유공작업안전모가 심부온, 피부온, 혈압, 심박수, 발한량, 모자내 기후 등의 인체생리반응을 고려해 볼 때 더 바람직한 작업 안전모 형태라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 종래의 작업과 관련한 피복연구에서 작업복, 장갑, 신발에 대하여는 생리학적 연구가 이루어졌으나, 안전모에 관한 연구에서는 생리학적인 부분을 고려하지 않고 단지 안전 보호측면에서의 연구가 이루어졌을 뿐이었다. 따라서 서열환경하에서 머리부분의 쾌적성을 고려한 다양한 작업 안전모에 대한 계속적인 연구와 개발이 이루어진다면 물리적 측면에서 작업 안전을 만족시킬 뿐만 아니라 생리적 측면에서 체열 평형을 도모하여 작업 능률의 향상을 가져올 것이다.

Construction is one of the most dangerous job sectors, which reports tens of thousands of time-loss injuries and deaths every year. These disasters incur delays and additional costs to the projects. The safety management needs to be on the top primary tasks throughout the construction to avoid fatal accidents and to foster safe working environments. One of the safety regulations that are frequently violated is the wearing of personal protection equipment (PPE). In order to facilitate monitoring of the compliance of the PPE wearing regulations, this paper proposes a vision based method that automatically identifies whether workers wear hard hats and safety vests. The method involves three modules - human body detection, identification of safety vest wearing, and hard hat detection. First, human bodies are detected in the video frames captured by real-time on-site construction cameras. The detected human bodies are classified into with/without wearing safety vests based on the color features of their upper parts. Finally, hard hats are detected on the nearby regions of the detected human bodies and the locations of the detected hard hats and human bodies are correlated to reveal their corresponding matches. In this way, the proposed method provides any appearance of the workers without wearing hard hats or safety vests. The method has been tested on onsite videos and the results signify its potential to facilitate site safety monitoring.

To resolve several arguments raised for the current analysis of a structure like top hat, which is composed of flange, cylinder and plate, the dynamic response analysis is performed for the full and half models. The dynamic characteristics are investigated for full and half models and the results are compared between them. The responses such as bolt reactions and stresses due to random loading are also obtained using the analysis capabilities between commercial programs which have the routine for the random vibration analysis. Several general purpose structural analysis programs are used to get the response due to the random loadings. Also the application of the random loading and the effect of correlations such as fully correlated, partially correlated and fully uncorrelated cases are studied and the general directions for the generation of design loads due to random loading are suggested.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Epigenetic regulation by nutrients can influence the development of specific diseases. This study sought to examine the effect of individual nutrients and nutrient families in the context of preventing chronic metabolic diseases via epigenetic regulation. The inhibition of lipid accumulation and inflammation by nutrients including proteins, lipids, vitamins, and minerals were observed, and histone acetylation by histone acetyltransferase (HAT) was measured. Correlative analyses were also performed. MATERIALS/METHODS: Nutrients were selected according to information from the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Selected nutrient functionalities, including the attenuation of fatty acid-induced lipid accumulation and lipopolysaccharide-mediated acute inflammation were evaluated in mouse macrophage Raw264.7 and mouse hepatocyte AML-12 cells. Effects of the selected nutrients on in vitro HAT inhibition were also evaluated. RESULTS: Nitric oxide (NO) production correlated with HAT activity, which was regulated by the amino acids group, suggesting that amino acids potentially contribute to the attenuation of NO production via the inhibition of HAT activity. Unsaturated fatty acids tended to attenuate inflammation by inhibiting NO production, which may be attributable to the inhibition of in vitro HAT activity. In contrast to water-soluble vitamins, the lipid-soluble vitamins significantly decreased NO production. Water- and lipid-soluble vitamins both exhibited significant inhibitory activities against HAT. In addition, calcium and manganese significantly inhibited lipid accumulation, NO production, and HAT activity. CONCLUSIONS: Several candidate nutrients and their family members may have roles in the prevention of diseases, including hepatic steatosis and inflammation-related diseases (i.e., nonalcoholic steatohepatitis) via epigenetic regulation. Further studies are warranted to determine which specific amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids and lipid-soluble vitamins or specific minerals influence the development of steatosis and inflammatory-related diseases.
