Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease are the most common neurodegenerative disorders. In this paper, we proposed a feature extraction method for classification of AD and PD based on micro-Raman spectra from platelet. The first step of the preprocessing is a simple smoothing followed by background elimination to the original spectra to make it easy to measure the intensity of the peaks. The last step of the preprocessing was peak alignment with the reference peak. After the inspection of the preprocessed spectra, we found that proportion of two peak intensity at 743 and $757cm^{-1}$ and peak intensity at 1248 and $1448cm^{-1}$ are the most discriminative features. Then we apply mapstd method for normalization. The method returned data with means to 0 and deviation to 1. With these three features, the classification result involving 263 spectra showed about 95.8% true classification in case of MAP(maximum a posteriori probability).

This paper presents a scale and rotation-invariant gait recognition method using R-transform, which is computed by projecting squared coefficients of Radon transform. Since R-transform is invariant to translation, rotation, and scaling, it particularly suitable for extracting object poses without camera calibration. Coefficients of R-transform are used to compute correlation, and the maximum correlation value determines the similarity between two gait images. The proposed method requires neither camera calibration nor geometric compensation, and as a result, it makes robust gait recognition possible without additional compensation for translation, rotation, and scaling.

We have fabricated and characterized MMI (Multimode Interference) coupled ring resonator with the total internal reflection mirrors and the semiconductor optical amplifier for the integration of the WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) system. The TIR (Total Internal Reflection) mirrors were fabricated by self-aligned process and had losses of about 0.71 dB per mirror. Coupling in and out of a resonator was achieved using the extremely small MMI couplers. The MMI length and width used in the experiment were $119{\mu}m$ and $9{\mu}m$, respectively. The resulting FSR (Free Spectral Range) and on-off ratio were approximately 1.333 nm (162 GHz) and 13 dB, respectively.

X-ray equipment, which is frequently used in radiology and treatment, is the most common and most used equipment in clinical practice. Equipment must provide accurate information to patients through continuous quality control. In case of manual quality control measurement, reproducibility may be poor and there may be a problem with reliability of evaluation results. In this study, an automated program was developed and attempted to measure how much the central ray between the focus of the X-ray tube and the variable aperture of the diagnostic X-ray generator used in clinical practice coincides. As a result of the experiment, it succeeded in calculating the coordinates of the two center points, and the distance between the two points was calculated in pixels and applied to the judgment and the automatic judgment value for whether the center line coincidence is within the normal angle or the abnormal angle is presented. The results of this study are considered to be very helpful in the quality control of the X-ray apparatus.

The PTO (Power Take-Off) shaft for aircraft, with welded construction using multiple thin membranes, was developed in the 1950s to improve the elasticity of the part. As it is lightweight, stable at high speeds, and has good flexibility, it is used in most of the fighter aircraft. It connects the AMAD (aircraft mounted accessory drive) gearbox with the EMAD (engine mounted accessory drive) gearbox and transmits the rotational power between them. It operates in the high speed range of 10,000-18,000 rpm. In this study, the safety of the PTO shaft made of Ti alloy was investigated using finite element analysis, and the ability to transmit power was demonstrated through a high-cycle fatigue test conducted in a laboratory. Further, the life of the ball joints of the aircraft under high-cycle fatigue test conditions was predicted, and the wear characteristics were analyzed.

GaInZnO는 투명 비정질 산화물 반도체로서 태양전지, 평판 액정 디스플레이, 잡음방지 코팅, 터치 디스플레이 패널, 히터, 광학 코팅 등 여러 응용에 쓰인다. 이 논문에서는 투명전자소자로 관심을 모으고 있는 GaInZnO의 전자적 그리고 전기적 특성을 측정하였다. GaInZnO 박막은 $SiO_2$ (100)/Si 기판위에 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 증착법으로 $Ga_2O_3:In_2O_3:ZnO$의 조성이 2:2:1로 된 타겟을 가지고 박막을 성장시켰다. 성장한 후에 RTP를 이용하여 30분간 열처리 하였다. GaInZnO의 전자적 특성을 나타내는 띠틈 및 실리콘 기판과의 원자가 띠 오프셋 값을 측정하였으며, 이 값들을 통해 GaInZnO박막과 실리콘 기판과의 띠 정렬도 수행하였다. 띠틈은 반사 전자 에너지 손실 분광법(REELS)을 이용하여 측정하였고, 원자가 띠 오프셋은 광전자 분광법(XPS)을 이용하여 측정하였다. 열처리 온도가 $400^{\circ}C$까지는 띠틈의 변화 및 XPS 결합에너지의 변화가 없는 것으로 보아 열적안정성이 우수함을 알 수 있다. 반면 $450^{\circ}C$에서의 띠틈이 감소하는 것으로 보아 $450^{\circ}C$에서는 열적안정성이 깨지는 것을 알 수 있다. GaInZnO 박막을 채널 층으로 하고 전극은 알루미늄(Al)으로 된 TFT를 제작하여 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. TFT 특성 결과 이동도가 약, subthreshold swing(S.S)이 약 1.5 V/decade, 점멸비가 약 $10^7$으로 측정되었다. 유리 위에 증착시킨 GaInZnO 박막의 투과율을 측정해본 결과 모든 시료가 가시광선 영역에서 80%이상의 투과율을 갖는 것으로 보아 투명전극소자로 응용이 가능하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

글래스(glass), 폴리머 또는 쿼츠와 같은 투명기판은 렌즈, 디스플레이, 광검출기, 광센서, 발광다이오드 및 태양전지와 같은 광 및 광전소자 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 소자들의 경우, 광추출 또는 광흡수 효율을 향상시키는 것이 매우 중요하다. 그러나 투명기판의 경우, 약 1.5의 굴절율로 인해 표면에서 4% 반사가 발생되는데, 이러한 광학적 손실은 소자의 성능을 저하시키는 원인이 된다. 따라서, 글래스와 공기 경계면에서 발생되는 광손실을 줄이기 위한 효율적인 무반사 코팅이 필요하다. 최근, 우수한 내구성 뿐만 아니라, 광대역 파장 및 다방향성에서 무반사 특성을 보이는 서브파장 주기를 갖는 나노구조(subwavelength structures)의 형성 및 제작 공정에 관한 연구가 보고되고 있다. 이러한 나노구조는 경사 굴절율 분포를 가지는 유효 매질을 형성하기 때문에 투명기판 표면에서의 Fresnel 반사로 인한 광손실을 줄일 수 있다. 또한, 무반사 서브파장구조를 형성하기 위한 패터닝 방법으로, 간단/저렴하고 대면적 제작이 용이한 열적 응집 공정을 이용한 자가정렬된 금속 나노입자 형성 기술이 널리 사용되고 있다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 열적 응집현상에 의해 형성된 비주기적 금 나노입자 식각 마스크 패턴 및 유도결합 플라즈마 장비를 이용하여 글래스 기판 위에 무반사 서브파장 나노구조를 제작하였다. 금 나노패턴 및 제작된 글래스 서브파장 나노구조의 식각 프로파일은 주사전자현미경을 사용하여 관찰하였으며, UV-Vis-NIR 스펙트로미터를 사용하여 빛의 투과율을 측정하였다. 또한, 제작된 샘플들에 대해서, 표면 접촉각 측정 장비를 이용하여 표면 wettability를 조사하였다.

Over the past decade, liquid crystalline epoxy (LCER) has attracted much attention as a promising matrix for the development of efficient heat dissipation materials. This study presents a comprehensive study including synthesis, preparation and chacterization of polymer/inorganic composites using typical 4,4-diglycidyloxybiphenyl (DP) epoxy among LECR. To confirm the thermal conductivity of composite materials, we have prepared composite samples composed of epoxy resin and single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) as a filler. In particular, DP composites exhibit higher thermal conductivity than commercial epoxy composites that use the same type of filler due to the highly ordered microstructure of the LCER. In addition, the thermal conductivity of the DP composite can be controlled by controlling the amount of filler. In particular, the DP composite containing a SWCNT content of 50 wt% has the highest thermal conductivity of 2.008 W/mK.

This paper concerns the spin-stabilization for the second stage of KSR-III(Korea Sounding Rocket-III). The error sources in the second stage are defined, and then the effect on attitude error of KSR-III is analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Based on the analysis, some conditions for optimal spinning frequency and optimal steady-spinning duration are suggested. Among several solutions, an optimal value can be determined in the point of minimum impact-point error. An approach to a sub-optimal solution is also suggested. Application to the KSR-III shows that a proper spinning frequency and a steady-spin duration to give the smallest impact-point error can be effectively determined.

The Bark Coherence Function (BCF) defies a coherence function within perceptual domain as a new cognition module, robust to linear distortions due to the analog interface of digital mobile system. Our previous experiments have shown the superiority of BCF over current measures. In this paper, a new BCF suitable for VoIP is developed. The unproved BCF is based on the wavelet series expansion that provides good frequency resolution while keeping good time locality. The proposed Wavelet based Bark Coherence function (WBCF) is robust to variable delay often observed in packet-based telephony such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). We also show that the refinement of time synchronization after signal decomposition can improve the performance of the WBCF. The regression analysis was performed with VoIP speech data. The correlation coefficients and the standard error of estimates computed using the WBCF showed noticeable improvement over the Perceptual Speech Quality Measure (PSQM) that is recommended by ITU-T.
