Coronary Intervention treatment has become the core that is the test of cardiac catheterization to conduct treatment with Coronary Arteriography. Operators must be careful in Coronary Intervention treatment because the stent is inserted into the point of narrowing of blood vessel. So, the operator must correctly recognize the path of blood vessel to deal with the problems which are damages and ruptures of blood vessel, and there would be some errors of finding the path of blood vessel by bad qualify of the image. Therefore in this paper, median filtering is conducted by preprocessing to evaluate the performance of the effect of noise of the image that affects quality of the image and Fuzzy Edge Extraction Techniques is tested by using Soble Edge Extraction Techniques to compare the performance with The Fuzzy Edge Extraction Techniques. In result, the performance, removing the noise and extracting the signal of Fuzzy Edge Extraction Techniques using median filtering, demonstrates the superiority.

This research was performed to investigate the mechanical performance of lightweight concrete including phase changing material(Low temperature PCM). Micro capsulised PCM consisted of wax type core and melamine based wall. Also, for PCM of one single kind, paraffin wax was inserted into Vermiculite and the surface was coated with melamine resin. Interfacial polymerization is based on the principle that macromolecule reaction takes place on the surfaces between 1-dodecanol(core material) and water (solvent) to form the wall material. Lightweight concrete has compressive strength of 10 MPa, tensile strength of 1.5 MPa, and oven dried density of 1.0kg/liter which included 10%, 20%, or 30% PCM by weight. To do so, this study fabricated light-weight foamed concrete ($1.0kg/m^3$) in pre-foaming method and mixed it with PCM micro capsule of 1-dodecanol and melamine to examine its physical properties.

Remote control intervention surgery robotic system improves treatment effect on cardiovascular patients and reduces X-ray exposure. However, at the time of the first procedure, CT (computerized tomography) and other ultrasound diagnostic equipment should be used because the operator must insert the cannula directly into the patient's leg. Improvements to this have been un-met-needs of hospitals. In this paper, we developed a system that can insert the cannula intuitively and quickly by displaying blood vessels at a glance through the system using smart wearable glasses. The core development method is as follows. In order to project augmented reality onto the surgical image, CT scan angiography image is extracted and processed. In the process, three CT-Markers are used to create a coordinate system of blood vessel images. Additionally, a reference marker is photographed on a single camera to obtain a camera coordinate system. Since the CT marker and the reference marker are in the same position, 3D registration is performed. In the text, a detailed explanation will be given.

With increase of concern about the Ubiquitous application, the necessity of the computer system which is miniaturized is becoming larger. The ARM processor is showing a high share from embedded system market. In this paper, ideal method for RTD-1000 controller construction and development is described using ARM microcontroller. Existing RTD-1000 measures distance of disconnection or defect of sensing casket by measuring receiving reflected wave which was sent via copper wire inside the leaking sensing rod. Using this RTD-1000, leakage and breakage of water and oil pipe can be sensed and it reports damage results to the networks. But, existing RTD-1000 wastes hardware resources much and costs a great deal to installation. Also, it needs a cooling device because the heating problem, and has some problem of the secondary memory unit such as the hard disk. So, long tenn maintenance has some problems in the outside install place. In this paper, for the resolving the problem of RTD-1000, RTD-1000A embedded system based on ARM is proposed and simulated.

In this research, The way to decrease a patient's exposure dose by reducing the scattered radiation dosage outside a radiation field with an diagnosis X-ray was examined. The scattered radiation dosage reaching other parts outside the radiation field was to be reduced by attaching a self-produced $150{\times}190mm^2$ lead plate to the lower part of a collimator. When a lead plate was inserted additionally and the scattered radiation dosage of the X axis was measured in the direction of the central X-ray axis, It was found out to have been decreased by 26 to 36%, and in the direction of Y axis, which was vertical direction from the central axis, The scattered radiation dosage depending on whether a lead plate was used or not displayed no large differences. These results shows that the impact of the scattered radiation by the off focus X-ray that was generated around the focus was bigger than that generated by the shutter of the collimator. Therefore it has been concluded that installing an additional lead plate in the lower part of the existing collimator can decrease the scattered radiation dosage outside a radiation field.

The thermal response characteristics of nozzle liner for a solid rocket motor applying highly aluminized PCP or HTPB propellant with slotted tube grain have been investigated. The SEM photographs of aluminum oxide particles taken from nozzle liner show that the PCP propellant with the finer and less contents of oxidizer can offer greater possibility for increasing aluminum agglomeration than the HTPB propellant. The PCP propellant shows locally greater mechanical erosion at 4 circumferential areas of the nozzle entrance in line with grain slot due to the impingement of large particles, but the HTPB propellant shows greater thermochemical ablation at the nozzle blast tube, the throat insert and the exit cone because of relatively much more mole fraction of $H_2O\;and\;CO_2$ in combustion gases.

식도 천공의 치료는 최근 치료법의 발전에도 불구하고 여전히 난해한 문제이다. 이 환자들은 천공의 원인이나 위치, 심한 정도가 다양한 이질적인 군이며, 반수 이상이 이미 식도에 기존의 질환을 가지고 있어 문제를 더욱 복잡하게 한다. 따라서 절대적이고 획일적인 치료방법은 아직 확립되어 있지 않으며 많은 다양한 방법들이 제시되고 있다. 2002년 11월부터 2003년 7월까지 총 8명의 환자가 식도 천공으로 동아대학교병원 흥부외과에서 치료를 받았으며, 원인별로는 의인성(iatrogenic) 손상이 6례, 자발성(spontaneous) 손상이 2례였고 부위별로는 경부가 3례, 흥부가 5례였다. 의인성 손상에는 내시경 검사중 정상 경부 식도에 발생한 1례, 부식성 식도협착 환자의 풍선 확장술과 스텐트 삽입시 흉부 식도에 발생한 경우가 각각 1례씩, 외상성 경추손상의 수술시 정상 경부 식도에 발생한 경우가 2례, 선천성 식도폐쇄증(esophageal atresia)의 술후 문합부 누출이 생긴 경우가 1례 있었으며, 자발성 손상에는 하부식도에 발생한 기압성(barogenic) 손상 1례와 상흉부 식도암 천공 1례가 있었다. 경부 식도 천공 3례는 모두 경부 배액(drainage)과 식이용 장루술(feeding jejunostomy)을 시행하였고, 부식성 식도협착이 있던 환자 2례는 식도절제술과 흉부내 식도-위 문합을 시행하였으며, Boerhaave씨 증후군 환자는 1차 봉합술, 술후 문합부 유출이 있었던 환자와 식도암 천공이 있었던 환자는 식도절제 및 경부 식도루(esophagostomy), 배액용 위루(gastrostomy), 식이용 장루술을 시행하였다. 모든 환자는 패혈증 등의 심각한 합병증으로의 진행 없이 회복되었다. 현재 위장관의 연속성이 유지 혹은 복원된 환자는 경구식이 중이며 그 외의 환자들은 장루를 통해 영양을 공급하며 식도재건술을 기다리고 있다. 식도 천공은 최근 항생제의 사용, 과영양요법(hyperalimentation), 술후 환자관리의 개선 등으로 치료에 많은 발전이 있었으나, 치료 방침에 있어서는 여전히 논란이 있으며 높은 사망률을 보이는 난제로 남아있다. 비록 일반적인 지침이 도움이 되겠지만, 치료 방침은 환자 개개인의 상황에 따라 적절하게 선택해야 하며, 임상경과에 따라 언제라도 방침을 변경할 수 있는 유연함이 필요하리라 생각한다.

The effect of the concentric solid tube inserted inside the vibrator on the sound field distribution was analyzed for the sound waves focused on the center axis in the fluid - filled cylindrical piezoelectric transducer. The sound waves radiated from the inside of the cylindrical piezoelectric vibrator are transmitted through the fluid medium and are reflected or transmitted on the wall surface of the solid tube, and are focused on the central axis. At this time, the sound field distribution centered on the acoustic tube varies depending on the acoustic impedance and the thickness of the solid tube. In order to theoretically analyze this, the transfer matrix for each medium is derived, and the sound pressure level at the center axis is theoretically analyzed. For the acrylic tube with various thicknesses, the changing trend in the sound pressure level measured on the central axis agrees well with the result of the theoretical analysis, and it confirmed that the sound pressure formed at the center changes very sensitively with the thickness of the solid tube.
