Objective: This study was performed to investigate the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency (RF) myolysis under transvaginal ultrasound guidance. Methods: Transvaginal RF myolysis had been performed in one hundred nine women with uterine leiomyoma at Chung-Ang University hospital between Dec. 2004 and Mar. 2007. All patients, mean aged $42.8{\pm}5.8$ years, desired their uterine conservation. Patients underwent physical examination, transvaginal pelvic ultrasound for measurement of the lesions preoperatively. Follow up was done at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months after RF myolysis by same physician and measurement of size and volume of myoma and improvement of myoma specific symptoms such as menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea were checked at each visit. Results: The mean maximal diameter of myomas treated by RF myolysis was $6.1{\pm}0.5\;cm$ and average time of the procedure was $16.3{\pm}8.5$ minutes. A significant decrease of myoma size and volume was observed at 1 month after myolysis. Mean reduction in maximal diameter was $29.9{\pm}4.8%$ at 1 week (p<0.001), $41.5{\pm}1.5%$ at 1 month (p=0.05), $46.2{\pm}3.9%$ at 3 months (p=0.003), $54.6{\pm}6.1%$ at 6 months (p<0.001) after RF myolysis respectively. Mean reduction in volume was $44.4{\pm}8.3%$ (p=0.001), $68.1{\pm}4.2%$ (p=0.035), 73.9$73.9{\pm}4.8%$ (p=0.042), $84.5{\pm}5.1%$ (p<0.001) at the same follow up period respectively. Significant improvement of symptom was observed at 3 months after RF myolysis. Transient low abdominal pain and prolonged vaginal bleeding were detected in 3 patients each but spontaneously resolved and no serious complication has been noticed or found. Conclusion: This study shows transvaginal RF myolysis could be a safe and effective method to treat uterine leiomyoma, allowing uterine conservation with significant volume reduction and rapid return to normal activity.

본 연구에서는 밀폐형 2상 열사이폰의 액체 Pool에서 발생하는 핵비등현상과 유동영역에 대해 가시화 방법으로 연구하였다. 실험용 열사이폰은 스텐레스와 유리관을 이용하여 제작하였으며, 열공급은 증발부 주위에 설치된 유도 가열용 코일에 고주파를 가함으로써 스텐레스 외면에 발열이 일어나도록 하였다. 이에 따른 결과는 다음과 같다. 실험용 열사이폰은 고주파 가열등 열사이폰의 작동성능을 저해하는 여러 요인들이 포함되어 있었으나, 실험결과 이러한 문제는 실험 내용에 영향을 미칠만큼 크게 나타나지 않았다. 열속과 상당압력의 범위는 각각2$m^2$, 0.1

Background: The sinus conversion rate after the maze procedure in chronic atrial fibrillation using radiofrequency energy is lower than with either conventional 'cut and saw' technique or cryothermia. The creation of incomplete transmural lesions due to poor tissue-catheter contact is thought to be the main cause. To address this problem, the current study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a specially constructed compression device designed to enhance tissue catheter contact during unipolar radiofrequency catheter ablation. Material and Method: Circum-ferential right auricular epicardial lesions were created with a linear radiofrequency catheter in 10 anesthetized pigs. A device specially designed to increase contact by compression of the catheter to the atrial wall was used in 5 pigs (study group). This device was not used in the control group (5 pigs). Conduction block across the right auricular lesion was assessed by pacing, and the transmurality of the lesions were confirmed by microscopic examination. Result: Conduction block was observed in a total of 8 pigs; 5 in study group and 3 in control group. Transmural injury was confirmed microscopically by the accumulation of acute inflammatory cells and loss of elastic fibers in the endocardium. In two pigs with failed conduction block, microscopic examination of the endocardium appeared normal. Conclusion: Failed radiofrequency ablation is strongly related to non-transmural energy delivery. The specially constructed compression device in the current study was successful in creating firm tissue-catheter contact and thereby generating transmural lesions during unipolar radiofrequency ablation.

This paper proposed a novel SIT high frequency resonant inverter having drive signal phase shift control function. Phasor control type inverters using SIT can realize a power conversion on the high switching frequency with low switching loss. Especially, the high output power can be abstained by connecting the output voltage of two unit inverters In serIes. The stability of system using protection circuit for over current and the automatic follow-up control with load variation by PLL is presented. This inverter produce approximately sinusoidal waveform at a high frequency, switching frequency ranging from 180[kHz] to 220[kHz], and is applied to the 2[kW] induction heating. The operating characteristics of this inverter circuit are discussed from a theoretical point of view and compared with experimental results. results.

운전 중인 회전기기에서 고정자 권선의 절연 상태는 부분방전시험을 통해 검사, 평가할 수 있고 이를 통하여 사고예방을 위한 진단을 할 수 있다. 기존 센서인 SSC(Stator Slot Coupler)는 비접촉식으로 권선의 웨지 아래에 설치하므로 설치하기가 불편하고 Global VPI 방식으로 제작된 소형 회전기에는 사용할 수 없는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 소형 회전기에 사용 가능한 저, 고주파용 부분방전 센서를 제안하였다. 웨지 위에 설치 가능한 SSC 형태의 마이크로스트립 센서 및 2선 평행 전송선로 센서는 고주파에 적합하고 저렴하며 소형 회전 기에 설치 가능하다. 센서의 성능을 검증하기 위해 3차원 해석 프로그램을 사용하여 좋은 전자파 검출 성능을 도출할 수 있었다. 또한 저주파용으로 제안된 U 타입 센서는 유도전류를 검출하는 센서로서 슬롯 외부에 설치되어야 하고 시간차분 수치해석을 이용해서 저주파에서 효과적으로 방전 펄스를 검출함을 확인할 수 있었다.

전동기의 제어기법과 제어기 등의 발달로 유도전동기는 산업용으로 널리 보급되고 있으며, 유도전동기를 고효율로 제어하기 위하여 PWM 인버터가 널리 사용되고 있다. 그리고 IGBT와 같은 고속 스위칭 소자의 발달로 인해 전압형 PWM 인버터의 스위칭 주파수가 증가가 가능하게 됐으며, 그로 인해 매우 우수한 동작 특성을 가지게 되었다. 그러나 고속 스위칭은 전압과 전류의 급격한 변화로 인해 매 스위칭마다 발생하는 고주파 성분의 커먼 모드전압과 전류를 발생하게 되고 이들은 베어링 전류와 축전압, 전도 및 방사 EMI, 기기의 절연수명 단축, 등의 악영향을 유발한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 커먼 모드 전압과 전류에 대한 시스템 레벨 해석이 가능한 시뮬레이션 기법에 대해 실제 측정과 시뮬레이션을 통해 검정하였다. 이를 통해서 커먼 모드 전압과 전류가 PWM 인버터 시스템의 각 부에 미치는 영향을 쉽게 확인 할 수 있으며, 커먼 모드 전압과 전류의 저감을 위해 추가될 수 있는 부가적인 보조회로의 영향에 대해서도 제시된 시뮬레이션 기법을 통해 확인 할 수 있다.

A detailed analysis of the transistor wide-band feedback amplifiers using the hybrid-$\pi$ equivalent circuit has been made. It is considered both for the low freqnency and for the high frequency. The expressions of the gain, bandwidth. input impedance and output impedance have been presented. It is shown that a series feedback amplifier should be driven from the voltage source and should drive into the low resistance load, and a shunt feedback amplifier should be driven from the current source and should drive into the high resistance load. It is also shown that these stages can be coupled without use of the buffer stage or coupling transformer.
