Laser sealing/cutting technique, one of the 4 core technologies to manufacture self-luminous glass tubes (SLGTs) has been developed. Through the analysis of commercial products it is found that Pyrex Is used for SLGTs. A CO2 laser, which is commonly used for glass work was used for the study The factors affecting the sealing/cutting were laser intensity, duration. Irradiation method, and pressure inside the tube. The whole Process is composed of 2 stages. In the first stage. both ends of the tubes are sealed while tritium is insected in the tubes. And the tritium sealed tubes are cut in the desired size in the second stage. Defocused beam was used for seal ing and focused beam was used for cutting. After the sealing/cutting, the tubes were heat treated to prevent fracture due to the residual heat stress.

The appropriate drying method in medicinal compounds and color of peony root was that predrying at briquet fire $(40{\sim}60^{\circ}C)$ for 6 hours or more, and then hot air drying at $40^{\circ}C$ during 60 hours. But this method needs too much time in drying. And the method that drying at $40^{\sim}C$ with hot air drying has bad result in color. In case Peony was seld by cutting product, before cutting, the Peony root was retted for 30 min. and sealed for 12 hrs. is good for drying time, Peoniflorin content and commodity.

This study presents sealing characteristics of multi-contact o-rings as functions of strain, compression stress, and contact normal stress using a FEM technique. The FEM results on the sealing characteristics show that the maximum strain, maximum compression stress, and maximum contact normal stress of multi-contact o-rings are approximately 1.7 times higher than those of conventional o-rings. This is due to a U-grooved cross section of multi-contact o-rings, and the multi-contact o-rings with a U-groove show more effective in sealing for high pressure vessels, valves, and gas equipments. And the extrusion failure in the multi- contact o-ring does not produce for an increased gas pressure due to a U-groove. This may extend sealing life compared to that of a conventional o-ring.

The effect of microperforated packaging films on fresh-cut apples was studied Apples (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Red Delicious) were cored and cut, packaged in laser microperforated film or non-microperforated polyolefin film, and stored for 3 weeks at 4C. The flesh firmness of apples packaged in microperforated film during the storage period was significantly higher than that of apples packaged in non-microperforated film, and the level of soluble solids was also higher. The browning index, titratable acidity, pH, acetaldehyde and ethanol levels were not affected by microperforation. These results show that microperforated films could be used for retention of flesh firmness in fresh-cut apples.

복숭아는 절단 후 표면의 갈변현상이나 당도 저하 등이 발생하여 신선편이 식품화시 품질열화의 원인이 된다. 이에 본 실험에서는 일차적으로 유명 품종에 한해 fresh-cut peach의 anti-browning chemicals를 탐색하고, 그 결과를 통해 이차적으로 효과가 우수한 chemicals를 선정하여 백향 품종에 농도별 실험을 행하였다. 유명 품종을 반으로 절단한 후 제핵하고 8등분하여 1% ascorbic acid, 1% sodium chloride, 1% sodium ascorbate monohydrate, 0.005% 4-hexylresorcinol 용액에 3분간 침지시켜 draining한 후, PP tray에 담고 PP film으로 밀봉하여 4$^{\circ}C$에서 저장하였다. 가용성고형분은 to sodium chloride 용액으로 처리한 구에서 가장 높게 유지되었고 pH 또한 비교적 일정하였으며, 1% sodium chloride과 1% sodium ascorbate monohydrate 용액으로 처리한 구의 L값이 높게 유지되었다. 따라서 fresh-cut peach에 효과가 있는 것으로 판단되는 이 두 chemicals의 농도별 용액을 조제하여 같은 방법으로 백향 품종의 갈변저해제로서 처리하였다. 그 결과 2% sodium chloride의 가용성고형분이 가장 높게 유지되었으며 2% sodium ascorbate monohydrate 다음으로 2% sodium chloride 용액 처리구의 L값의 변화 양상이 가장 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 종합적으로 살펴볼 때, 2% sodium chloride 용액의 처리가 fresh-cut peach의 품질 변화 억제에 적합하다고 판단되었다.

Quality attributes of fresh-cut green onion(Allium fistulosum L.) as affected by rinsing and packaging were investigated in terms of flesh weight, color, viable cell counts, sensory properties during storage at $10^{\circ}C$. Fresh green onions were trimmed, cut, and rinsed with cold water(approximately $5^{\circ}C$) as well as chlorine solution(100 mg/L) and then packaged in low density polyethylene film pouches of $63\;{\mu}m$ thickness. Rinsing treatments with cold water or chlorine solution did not significantly influence changes in microbial populations but sensory characteristics, resulting in cut green onions of better visual quality as compared to the control without rinsing. Fresh-cut green onions were also rinsed with cold water and packaged in sealed bags of low density polyethylene films with different thickness(22, 36, $63\;{\mu}m$), and stored at $10^{\circ}C$ for 18 days. Thickness of polyethylene film was a significant factor for microorganisms populations and sensory attributes. Mesophilic aerobic bacterial count after 13 days for the control, packed in punched film bags, was $3.07{\times}10^6}$ CFU/g, while those for samples in hermetically sealed bags ranged only $1.74{\sim}2.02{\times}10^5}$ CFU/g. Gas composition within the sealed packages changed from normal air to about $1.3{\sim}5.4%\;O_2$ and $4.0{\sim}8.0%\;CO_2$ after 13 days of storage. Particularly, the visual sensory quality of cut green onion samples was retained better in polyethylene film bags of $63\;{\mu}m$ thickness(gas transmission rate: 600 $O_2\;mL/day{\cdot}m^2{\cdot}atm;\;2,500\;CO_2\;mL/day{\cdot}m^2{\cdot}atm$) than in the others.

To develop and extend the shelf-life of vitamin C enriched fresh-cut apples using CA stored Fuji apples, dipping in 10% L-ascorbic acid and packaging with 0.03 mm LDPE, 0.04 mm PP and 0.08 mm Nylon/PE film(N$_2$displacement) were carried out. The changes of gas concentrations in the packaging and quality attributes of fresh-cut apples were examined during storage at 10$^{\circ}C$. The concentrations of O$_2$was maintained lower in Nylon/PE film than the other film, the level of O$_2$was in the range of 1∼3%. The increase of C$_2$H$_4$ concentrations in Nylon/PE film bag was more suppressed than the others. The vitamin C content of fresh-cut apples was enriched by dipping in L-ascorbic acid solution up to 241 mg$.$100 g-1 f.w., and the loss or that content was retarded differently by the package conditions of lower O$_2$level during storage. Browning in fresh-cut apples was shown after 6 days of storage in LDPE and PP film. but it was not shown by 14 days of storage in Nylon/PE film. Spoilage and off odor in fresh-cut apples were not detected up to 14 days of storage in Nylon/PE film. The results indicated that the vitamin C enriched fresh-cut apples can be processed from the long-term CA stored apples, and maintaining high quality of the products ill be possible in cases of the application of sealing packaging after O$_2$removal with film having low O$_2$permeability.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of sealer placement in simulated root canal extensions. Forty resin blocks were attained from the Endo-training Bloc. In each block. The simulated root canal was made with $\#20$, 80taper GT file. After each block was longitudinally split into two halves, a standardized groove was prepared on one canal wall of two halves to simulate the canal extensions with various irregularities. The two halves of each block were assembled and all simulated root canals were obturated by single cone method with AH26 sealer. Four different methods of sealer placement were used: group A, $\#20$ K-file; group B, ultrasonic file; group C, lentulo spiral; group D, EZ-Fill bi-directional spiral. All obturated blocks were stored in $100\%$ humidity at $37^{\circ}C$ for 1 week, Using a low speed saw, each block was sectioned horizontally. Images of the sections were taken using a stereomicroscope at $\times$ 30 magnification and a digital camera. The amount of the sealer in the groove was evaluated using a scoring system, a higher score indicated better sealing effectiveness. The data was statistically analysed by Fisher's Exact Test. The sealing score was the lowest, specially at the middle area of canal extensions in group A, and that was statistically significant difference from other groups. In conclusion, the ultrasonic file, lentulo spiral and EZ-Fill bi-directional spiral were effective methods of sealer placement in simulated canal extensions. The K file was the least effective method, specially at the middle area of canal extensions.
