Fluoroscopy is performed when tissue or organ in the human body is examined, and it is used for diagnosis and procedure in back ailments. With regard to fluoroscopy equipment, distortion occurs on the peripheral part of fluoroscopic image rather than on its central part. This study measured distortion factors of vertical spacing ratio and distortion factor of diagonal spacing ratio before and after correction by applying a correction algorithm. According to measuring the vertical spacing ratio, post-correction standard deviation decreased by 0.04 in comparison with pre-correction one. Also measuring the diagonal spacing ratio, post-correction standard deviation decreased by 0.06 in comparison with pre-correction one. Consequently, the distortion of fluoroscopic image decreased after correction. A decrease in the distortion of image through the application of correction algorithm and the improvement of performance will be helpful in finding a correct position of lumbar puncture in nucleoplasty to treat lumbar disc herniation in the future.

The Cu(radius ra = $95{\mu}m$)/$Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$(outer radius $r_b$ = $120{\mu}m$) core/shell composite wire is fabricated by electrodeposition. The two diagonal components of impedance tensor for the Cu/$Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$ core/shell composite wire in cylindrical coordinates, $Z_{zz}$ and $Z_{{\theta}{\theta}}$, are measured as a function of frequency in 10 kHz~10 MHz and external static magnetic field in 0 Oe~200 Oe. The equations expressing the diagonal $Z_{zz}$ and $Z_{{\theta}{\theta}}$ in terms of diagonal components of complex permeability tensor, ${\mu}^*_{zz}$ and ${\mu}^*_{{\theta}{\theta}}$, are derived from Maxwell's equations. The real and imaginary parts of ${\mu}^*_{zz}$(f) and ${\mu}^*_{{\theta}{\theta}}$(f) spectra are extracted from the measured $Z_{zz}$(f) and $Z_{{\theta}{\theta}}$(f) spectra, respectively. It is presened that the extraction of ${\mu}^*_{zz}$(f) and ${\mu}^*_{{\theta}{\theta}}$(f) spectra from the diagonal impedance spectra can be a versatile tool to investigate dymanic magnetization process in the core/shell composite wire.

This paper reports an unscented Kalman filter approach for localization of a mobile robot in an indoor environment. The method proposes a new model of measurement uncertainty which adjusts the error covariance according to the measured distance. The method also uses non-zero off diagonal values in error covariance matrices of motion uncertainty and measurement uncertainty. The method is tested through experiments in an indoor environment of 100*40 m working space using a differential drive robot which uses Laser range finder as an exteroceptive sensor. The results compare the localization performance of the proposed method with the conventional method which doesn't use adaptive measurement uncertainty model. Also, the experiment verifies the improvement due to non-zero off diagonal elements in covariance matrices. This paper contributes to implementing and evaluating a practical UKF approach for mobile robot localization.

The effective linewidth was measured using the conventional cavity perturbation method at 9.43 GHz in room temperature for Ca-Zr substituted yttrium iron garnet plate. The experimental set-up consists of the network analyzer, the electromagnet and the cylimdrical TE001 cavity. Measurement was performed in the static magnetic field perpendicular to the sample plane. The real and imaginary parts of diagonal component of the microwave susceptibility tensor are obtained from the resonance frequency and the quality factor Q of the cavity. Variations of the effective linewidth was qualitatively explained with the spin wave scattering theory.

The method of estimating a position using a GPS has been applied to various fields including a navigation system of an automobile. However, since it is difficult to measure GPS signals indoors, it is difficult to locate specific objects indoors such as a building or factory. To overcome these limitations, this study proposes a system for object location estimation based on Bluetooth5 for the management of materials in factories. The object position estimation system consists of a Bluetooth signal generator, a receiver, and a database server. A signal generator based on Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE) is attached to the material and a receiver is appropriately arranged inside the factory. In this study, we propose "Diagonal Survey Method", a 4 - axis survey algorithm using four receivers to reduce the error of existing trilateration method. The proposed algorithm showed good performance compared to the conventional trilateration and we verified the effectiveness of the proposed system and algorithm by performing the experiment by installing the system in the factory.

In this paper, we propose a vision-based detection of container hole for container location measuring. We use a method for container position using detection of diagonal container holes, because containers have holes that are linked to spreader headblocks. First, we extract images from spreader and detect straight lines to detect container in images using hough transform. Next, proposed method finds positions of cross at the right angles and set candidates of the corner that is linked to spreader headblocks. Finally, this method performs template matching to detect a right corner of containers. Experimental results show that proposed method performed well at detection of container position.

This study attempts to identify the ways of reducing the floor impact sound, by applying six different types of the reinforced bar girders and stirrup arrangements to the Structure: (1) the longer-direction girder arrangements (2) the shorter-direction girder arrangements (3) the diagonal-direction arrangements (4) the longer-direction girder arrangements with stirrups (5) the shorter-direction girder arrangements with stirrups (6) the diagonal-direction arrangements with stirrups. In order to identify the most effective structural changes, each slab was tested with bang machines, measuring the level of the sound impact. The results showed that the longer-direction girder arrangements with stirrups were the most effective one. In addition, the effectiveness of slab was found to be remarkable, showing the level of minimum 1dB to maximum 5dB, where the slab was compared with the control models without girders and stirrups. In conclusion, it is suggested that the longer-direction girder arrangements with stirrups could possibly be applied to the Wall Structures to minimize the floor impact sound.

The purpose of this paper is to improve the performance of Polymer electrolyte fuel cell(PEMFC) by studying the channel dimension of bipolar plates using commercial CFD program 'Fluent'. Simulations are done ranging from 0.5 to 3.0mm for different size in order to find the channel size which shoves the highst hydrogen consumption. The results showed that the smaller channel width, land width, channel depth, the higher hydrogen consumption in anode. When channel width is increased, the pressure drop in channel is decreased because total channel length Is decreased, and when land width is increased, the net hydrogen consumption is decreased because hydrogen is diffused under the land width. It is also found that the influence of hydrogen consumption is larger at different channel width than it at different land width. The change of hydrogen consumption with different channel depth isn't as large as it with different channel width, but channel depth has to be small as can as it does because it has influence on the volume of bipolar plates. however the hydrogen utilization among the channel sizes more than 1.0mm which can be machined in reality is the most at channel width 1.0, land width 1.0, channel depth 0.5mm and considered as optimum channel size. The fuel cell combined with 2cm${\times}$2cm diagonal or serpentine type flow field and MEA(Membrane Electrode Assembly) is tested using 100W PEMFC test station to confirm that the channel size studied in simulation. The results showed that diagonal and serpentine flow field have similarly high OCV and current density of diagonal (low field is higher($2-40mA/m^2$) than that of serpentine flow field under 0.6 voltage, but the current density of serpentine type has higher performance($5-10mA/m^2$) than that of diagonal flow field under 0.7-0.8 voltage.

본 연구는 공간적 정보의 청각적 제시 가능성을 확인하기 위해 머리전달함수(head-related transfer function: HRTF)를 통해 생성된 3D 사운드를 가상공간상 대상 위치의 직각형태(orthogonal pattern), 혹은 대각형태(diagonal pattern)의 조합으로 배열하여 투시장치(See-Through HMD)로 증강현실을 경험하고 있는 사용자 과제수행의 정확성을 측정하였다. 본 연구에서 실시한 실험들의 결과를 종합하면, 3D 사운드로 대상의 위치 정보를 제시할 때는 사용자로부터의 방향은 직각으로 위치시키는 정보 배열이 정확성을 확보할 수 있고, 또한 가상적 깊이를 이용하여 정보를 배열하는 것도 그 깊이를 구분할 수 있으나 정확성이 떨어짐을 확인하였다. 특히 보다 현실적인 과제 상황에서의 수행을 비교하기 위해 일차과제(primary task)를 하는 동안 제시된 청각자극 조건에서 이런 정확성의 차이가 마찬가지로 나타났다. 이런 결과를 통해 3D 사운드로 대상의 위치와 같은 공간적 정보를 제시 가능한 최적의 배열 형태를 제안하는데, 이는 어떤 패턴으로 정보를 구조화하여 제시하느냐에 따라 청각적 위치 정보 제시의 성공 여부가 결정된다는 것을 의미한다.
