  • Patent number: 10046866
    Abstract: An apparatus for automatically mounting and dismounting an aircraft fuselage includes stages disposed to be spaced apart from each other, positioners disposed between the stages and on which a plurality of fuselage parts are mounted, the positioners adjusting a position of each of the mounted fuselage parts in X, Y, and Z directions, and a transfer unit allowing the fuselage parts to be automatically respectively mounted on the positioners, the transfer unit automatically dismounting the assembled fuselage from the positioners to transfer the assembled fuselage after the fuselage parts are completely assembled with each other. The apparatus may automatically mount and dismount the fuselage to reduce assembly time, thereby improving productivity of the fuselage, assembly quality and workability.

  • Patent number: 8954299
    Abstract: Provided are an anthropometric product design method and a recording media storing a computer program for the same. The anthropometric product design method includes the operations of: (a) expressing the relationships between human body variables and design variables in equations, and establishing design equations for design variables, respectively, of a product to be designed; (b) generating a representative human model (RHM) for the product to be designed; (c) extrapolating postures according to changes in design dimensions through a computer simulation using the design equations and RHMs, and comparing data on the extrapolated postures with defined reference posture data to perform a design sensitivity analysis; and (d) determining optimal design dimensions for related design variables based on the design sensitivity analysis.

  • Patent number: 8798812
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a three-dimensional (3D) digital map system for implementing a navigation and ground collision preventing method using 3D terrain information. The 3D digital map system includes a terrain referenced navigation module configured to receive data from EGI (Embedded GPS/INS), a radio-altimeter (RALT) and a map database, corrects the data to perform accurate navigation computation, and outputs the corrected data, a collision avoidance warning module configured to generate a warning against collision of an aircraft with the ground or an obstacle using the corrected data, a 3D terrain database and an obstacle database, a terrain following module configured to generate a terrain following trajectory of the aircraft using the same information, and a Passive Ranging module configured to receive the 3D terrain database and line-of-sight (LOS) information of a target and calculate distance and position information of the target located on the ground.

  • Patent number: 8715038
    Abstract: Disclosed is a deburring apparatus. The deburring apparatus includes a transfer module installed on a base to form a transfer path of transferring a workpiece to be deburred, a deburring module provided on the transfer path of the workpiece installed on the base to deburr the workpiece, and a blocking cover installed on the base to reciprocate thereon to selectively prevent the transfer module and the workpiece on the transfer module from being exposed to an outside, and to prevent dust and noise, which are produced when a deburring work is performed for the workpiece by using the deburring module, from being delivered to the outside. The burrs, which are produced when a metallic produce or a non-metallic produce having a 3-D shape is molded or cut, are easily and rapidly removed.
