A new lateral MOS controlled thyristor, named Shorted Anode LMCT(SA-LMCT), is proposed and analyzed by a two-dimensional device simulation. The device structure employs the implanted n+ layer which shorts the p+ anode together by a common metal electrode and provides a electron conduction path during turn-off period. The turn-off is achieved by not only diverting the hole current through the p+ cathode short but also providing the electron conduction path from the n-base into the n+ anode electrode. In addition, the modified shorted anode LMCT, which has an n+ short junction located inside the p+ anode junction, is also presented. It is shown that the modified SA-LMCT enjoys the advantage of no snap-back behavior in the forward characteristics with little sacrificing of the forward voltage drop. The simulation result shows that the turn-off times of SA-LMCT can be reduced by one-forth and the maximum controllable current density may be increased by 45 times at the expense of 0.34 V forward voltage drop as compared with conventional LMCT.

The purposes of this study were to investigate kinematic parameters of racket head and upper extremities during squash back hand stroke and to provide quantitative data to the players. Five Korean elite male players were used as subjects in this study. To find out the swing motion of the players, the land-markers were attached to the segments of upper limb and 3-D motion analysis was performed. Orientation angles were also computed for angular movement of each segment. The results were as follows. 1) the average time of the back hand swing (downswing + follow-through) was 0.39s (0.24 s + 0.15 s). 2) for each event, the average racket velocity at impact was 11.17m/s and the velocity at the end of swing was 8.03m/s, which was the fastest swing speed after impact. Also, for each phase, 5.10m/s was found in down swing but 7.68m/s was found in follow-through. Racket swing speed was fastest after the impact but the swing speed was reduced in the follow-through phase. 3) in records of average of joints angle, shoulder angle was defined as the relative angle to the body. 1.04rad was found at end of back swing, 1.75rad at impact and it changes to 2.35 rad at the end of swing. Elbow angle was defined as the relative angle of forearm to upper arm. 1.73rad was found at top of backswing, 2.79rad at impact, and the angle was changed to 2.55rad at end of swing. Wrist angle was defined as the relative angle of hand to forearm. 2.48rad was found at top of backswing, 2.86rad at impact, and the angle changes to 1.96rad at end of swing. As a result, if the ball is to fly in the fastest speed, the body has to move in the order of trunk, shoulder, elbow and wrist (from proximal segment to distal segment). Thus, the flexibility of the wrist can be very important factor to increase ball speed as the last action of strong impact. In conclusion, the movement in order of the shoulder, elbow and the wrist decided the racket head speed and the standard deviations were increased as the motion was transferred from proximal to the distal segment due to the personal difference of swing arc. In particular, the use of wrist (snap) may change the output dramatically. Therefore, it was concluded that the flexible wrist movement in squash was very important factor to determine the direction and spin of the ball.

본 연구는 국내 안경산업의 발전을 위해 디자인과 브랜드에 대한 인지도를 전문가 집단과 비전문가 집단으로 나누어 조사하고, 국내 제품들이 외국 제품과의 경쟁에서 우위를 점하기 위해 어떠한 방향으로 나아가야 하는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 비전문가 집단에서는 국내 브랜드와 해외브랜드간의 가장 큰 차이점을 디자인으로 꼽았고, 전문가 집단 역시 제품선택에 있어서 디자인을 최우선으로 고려하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 비전문가 집단에서의 국내브랜드 인지도는 매우 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 전문가 집단에서는 해외브랜드 인지도보다 국내브랜드 인지도가 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 연구 조사 결과, 국내 안경산업의 재도약은 급히 처방하여 회복될 수 있는 상황이 아니며, 세계적인 브랜드로 도약하기 위해서는 기술과 품질의 향상뿐만 아니라, 다자인과 브랜드의 이미지 정착을 위한 노력과 투자가 선행되어야 할 것으로 나타났다.

A simple damper optimization method is proposed to find optimal damper allocation for shear buildings under both target added damping ratio and interstorey drift ratio (IDR). The damping coefficients of added dampers are considered as design variables. The cost, which is defined as the sum of damping coefficient of added dampers, is minimized under a target added damping ratio and the upper and the lower constraint of the design variables. In the first stage of proposed algorithm, Simulated Annealing, Nelder Mead and Differential Evolution numerical algorithms are used to solve the proposed optimization problem. The candidate optimal design obtained in the first stage is tested in terms of the IDRs using linear time history analyses for a design earthquake in the second stage. If all IDRs are below the allowable level, iteration of the algorithm is stopped; otherwise, the iteration continues increasing the target damping ratio. By this way, a structural response IDR is also taken into consideration using a snap-back test. In this study, the effects of the selection of upper limit for added dampers, the storey mass distribution and the storey stiffness distribution are all investigated in terms of damper distributions, cost function, added damping ratio and IDRs for 6-storey shear building models. The results of the proposed method are compared with two existing methods in the literature. Optimal designs are also compared with uniform designs according to both IDRs and added damping ratios. The numerical results show that the proposed damper optimization method is easy to apply and is efficient to find optimal damper distribution for a target damping ratio and allowable IDR value.

이 연구는 배드민턴 경기기술 중 클리어에 대한 연구 대부분 경기분석 및 타법사용에 대한 연구에 국한되어 있어 여자중학생 배드민턴 선수를 대상으로 하이클리어 동작을 운동학적 변인으로 측정 분석하였다. 이 연구의 대상자는 충청북도에 위치한 C여자중학교 배드민턴 선수 4명이었으며, 동작의 분석 범위는 준비자세에서 동작의 시작순간, 라켓이 최대로 백 스윙 된 순간, 라켓과 셔틀콕이 임팩트 되는 순간, 임팩트 이후의 마무리 스윙동작까지로 단계별 동작을 설정하였다. 여자중학생 하이클리어 동작을 운동학적으로 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 피험자 대부분 백 스윙 단계에서 어깨 및 팔꿈치 관절을 충분히 회전하지 못한 것으로 나타났고, 특정 관절 부분에만 좋은 동작을 나타내 관절의 협용동작이 떨어지는 것으로 보였다. 피험자 S1과 S2가 임팩트 단계에서 어깨 및 팔꿈치 관절은 크게 천천히 스윙하다가 오른 손목관절 및 라켓헤드의 속도는 빠르게 나타나 다른 피험자 보다 관절의 협웅동작이 잘 이루어진 것으로 나타났다. 피험자 모두 성장기에 있는 학생으로서 관절의 유연성에 기인하여 오른 어깨각도 변화는 큰 각도를 보였고 각속도는 피험자 S3이 다른 피험자 보다 기술적 차이를 보여 개선될 점으로 나타났다. 피험자 모두 오른 팔꿈치 각도 변화는 비슷한 양상을 보였고 각속도에서 피험자 S2는 백 스윙단계부터 임팩트 시 심한 굴곡의 형태를 보여 힘을 효과적으로 사용하지 못한 것으로 나타났다. 피험자 모두 오른 손목각도의 변화는 백 스윙 직후 큰 각도를 이루지 못하고 임팩트 직후 손목의 빠른 굴곡이 형성되지 못하여 셔틀콕의 속도가 감속될 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 각속도는 피험자 S1과 S4는 임팩트 시 음(-)의 각속도 값을 보여 강한 스냅을 이용하고 빠르게 움직이고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 피험자 모두 임팩트 시 무릎각도의 크기는 큰 각도를 이룬 반면 고관절 각도는 작은 각도를 보여 무릎관절과 고관절과의 합성동작인 강한 허리힘을 이용하지 못한 것으로 나타났다.

Impairment in spinal inhibition caused by quantitative alteration of GABAergic elements following peripheral nerve injury has been postulated to mediate neuropathic pain. In the present study, we tested whether neuropathic pain could be induced or reversed by pharmacologically modulating spinal GABAergic activity, and whether quantitative alteration of spinal GABAergic elements after peripheral nerve injury was related to the impairment of GABAergic inhibition or neuropathic pain. To these aims, we first analyzed the pain behaviors following the spinal administration of GABA antagonists ($1{\mu}g$ bicuculline/rat and $5{\mu}g$ phaclofen/rat), agonists ($1{\mu}g$ muscimol/rat and $0.5{\mu}g$ baclofen/rat) or GABA transporter (GAT) inhibitors ($20{\mu}g$ NNC-711/rat and $1{\mu}g$ SNAP-5114/rat) into naive or neuropathic animals. Then, using Western blotting, PCR or immunohistochemistry, we compared the quantities of spinal GABA, its synthesizing enzymes (GAD65, 67) and its receptors (GABAA and GABAB) and transporters (GAT-1, and -3) between two groups of rats with different severity of neuropathic pain following partial injury of tail-innervating nerves; the allodynic and non-allodynic groups. Intrathecal administration of GABA antagonists markedly lowered tail-withdrawal threshold in naive animals, and GABA agonists or GAT inhibitors significantly attenuated neuropathic pain in nerve-injured animals. However, any quantitative changes in spinal GABAergic elements were not observed in both the allodynic and non-allodynic groups. These results suggest that although the impairment in spinal GABAergic inhibition may play a role in mediation of neuropathic pain, it is not accomplished by the quantitative change in spinal elements for GABAergic inhibition and therefore these elements are not related to the generation of neuropathic pain following peripheral nerve injury.
