수십 대의 PC들로 구성된 학교 PC 실 또는 교육 목적 PC 실에서는 컴퓨터들이 분산 구조로 되어 있어서 각 컴퓨터별로 셋업. 유지보수, 업그레이드가 각각 따로따로 수행된다. 이러한 분산 구조에 대한 대안으로 씬 클라이언트 컴퓨팅 환경을 고려해 볼 수 있다. 씬 클라이언트 컴퓨팅 환경에서, 클라이언트 쪽 장치는 사용자에게 친숙한 GUI 와 멀티미디어 지원과 함께 주로 IO 기능들을 제공하는 반면에 터미널 서버라 불리는 원격 서버들은 컴퓨팅 파워를 제공한다. 이 환경에서는 많은 클라이언트를 지원하기 위해서 터미널 서버들을 클러스터로 구성할 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 구조에서는 터미널 세션의 유지와 사용자의 다양한 컴퓨팅 사용 패턴 요인으로 부하 분산이 어렵고 결과적으로 터미널 서버 자원의 활용도가 낮아지는 단점을 가진다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 일해 본 논문에서는 적응적 터미널 클러스터를 제안한다. 이 구조에서는 부하가 적은 그룹에 속한 터미널 서버가 부하가 큰 그룹으로 실시간에 동적으로 재 할당될 수 있다. 제안된 적응적 터미널 클러스터를 일반적인 터미널 클러스터와 그룹 기반 비적응적 터미널 클러스터와 비교하고 실험을 통해 제안된 방법의 유효성을 검증하였다.

A system to non-invasively fix and monitor eye by a head mounted display (HMD) with a CCD camera for stereotactic radiotherapy (SRS) of uveal melanoma has been developed and implemented clinically. The eye fixing and monitoring system consists of a HMD showing patient a screen for fixing eyeball, a CCD camera monitoring patient's eyeball, and an immobilization mask. At flrst, patient's head was immobilized with a mask. Then, patient was Instructed to wear HMD, to which CCD camera was attached, on the mask and see the given reference point on its screen. While patient stared at the given point in order to fix eyeball, the camera monitored Its motion. Four volunteers and one patient of uveal melanoma for SRS came into this study. For the volunteers, setup errors and the motion of eyeball were analyzed. For the patient, CT scans were peformed, with patient's wearing HMD and fixing the eye to the given point. To treat patient under the same condition, daily CT scans were also peformed before every treatment and the motion of lens was compared to the planning CT Setup errors for four volunteers were within 1mm and the motion of eyeball was fixed within the clinically acceptable ranges. For the patient with uveal melanoma, the motion of lens was fixed within 2mm from daily CT scans. An eye fixing and monitoring system allowed Immobilizing patient as well as monitoring eyeball and was successfully implemented in the treatment of uveal melanoma for SRS.

Purpose: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) using an on board imager (OBI) can check the movement and setup error in patient position and target volume by comparing with the image of computer simulation treatment in real.time during patient treatment. Thus, this study purposed to check the change and movement of patient position and target volume using CBCT in IMRT and calculate difference from the treatment plan, and then to correct the position using an automated match system and to test the accuracy of position correction using an electronic portal imaging device (EPID) and examine the usefulness of CBCT in IMRT and the accuracy of the automatic match system. Materials and Methods: The subjects of this study were 3 head and neck patients and 1 pelvis patient sampled from IMRT patients treated in our hospital. In order to investigate the movement of treatment position and resultant displacement of irradiated volume, we took CBCT using OBI mounted on the linear accelerator. Before each IMRT treatment, we took CBCT and checked difference from the treatment plan by coordinate by comparing it with the image of CT simulation. Then, we made correction through the automatic match system of 3D/3D match to match the treatment plan, and verified and evaluated using electronic portal imaging device. Results: When CBCT was compared with the image of CT simulation before treatment, the average difference by coordinate in the head and neck was 0.99 mm vertically, 1.14 mm longitudinally, 4.91 mm laterally, and 1.07o in the rotational direction, showing somewhat insignificant differences by part. In testing after correction, when the image from the electronic portal imaging device was compared with DRR image, it was found that correction had been made accurately with error less than 0.5 mm. Conclusion: By comparing a CBCT image before treatment with a 3D image reconstructed into a volume instead of a 2D image for the patient's setup error and change in the position of the organs and the target, we could measure and correct the change of position and target volume and treat more accurately, and could calculate and compare the errors. The results of this study show that CBCT was useful to deliver accurate treatment according to the treatment plan and to increase the reproducibility of repeated treatment, and satisfactory results were obtained. Accuracy enhanced through CBCT is highly required in IMRT, in which the shape of the target volume is complex and the change of dose distribution is radical. In addition, further research is required on the criteria for match focus by treatment site and treatment purpose.

In order to reduce lean-time and cost, recently the technology of Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing(PR/M) has been used widely. So various RP/M methods have been developed and these systems commercialized several years ago. The machining process is one of these methods. It also offers advantages such as precision and versatility. But there are some considerations during machining. The most important problem among them is the fixturing. So we have to overcome the limitation because the fixturing time is depend on the complexity of geometry to be machined. In this paper, we have developed the fixturing technique using filling process that can be widely useful for rapid products within a short time. So we have carried out some kinds of rapid products such as plastic knob and metal fan using our fixturing process. In fixturing step, the filling material might chosen a resin or a alloy according to wether the work material is plastic or metal respectively. Also we developed the set-up equipment attachable on the table of the milling machine that provided practicable quality during a series of machining operations, named by two step milling process.

Recently, life cycle and lead-time of products have been shortened with the demand of customers. Therefore, it is important to reduce time and cost at the step of manufacturing trial molds. High speed machining can be applied for this kind of purpose with a lot of practical advantages. In our research, several fundamental experiments are carried out to obtain machining parameters such as cutting force, machining time and surface characteristics for tool paths that are appropriate to high-speed machining. Moreover, a trial mold for an automatic transmission knob is fabricated with aluminum-7075 material. Using automatic set-up equipments, an ABS rapid prototype of a trial product of an AT knob is also manufactured with a filling process.

This paper is to provide the results of usability of the impact force response signal induced from initial and successive rebound impacting a rock specimen for assessing the compressive strength of rock non-destructively. For this study, a device was devised for impacting a rock specimen and a system for measuring the impact force was set up. The impact was carried out by an initial rotating free falling impact and following repetitive impacts from the rebound action which eventually disappears. Three different kinds of rock specimen were tested and an impact force response signal was measured for each test specimen. The total impact force signal energy which is assessed from integrating the impact force response signal induced from initial and rebound impacts was compared with the directly measured compressive strength for each rock specimen. The comparison showed that the total impact force signal energy has a direct relationship with the directly measured compressive strength and the results clearly indicated that the compressive strength of rock can be assessed non-destructively using total impact force signal energy.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare patient's body posture and its position at the time of simulation with one at the treatment room using On-board Imaging (OBI) and CT (CBCT). The detected offsets are compared with position errors of Rando Phantom that are practically applied. After that, Rando Phantom's position is selected by moving couch based on detected deviations. In addition, the errors between real measured values of Rando Phantom position and theoretical ones is compared. And we will evaluate target position's accuracy of KV X-ray imaging's 2D and CBCT's 3D one. Materials and Methods: Using the Rando Phantom (Alderson Research Laboratories Inc. Stanford. CT, USA) which simulated human body's internal structure, we will set up Rando Phantom on the treatment couch after implementing simulation and RTP according to the same ways as the real radioactive treatment. We tested Rando Phantom that are assumed to have accurate position with different 3 methods. We measured setup errors on the axis of X, Y and Z, and got mean standard deviation errors by repeating tests 10 times on each tests. Results: The difference between mean detection error and standard deviation are as follows; lateral 0.4+/-0.3 mm, longitudinal 0.6+/-0.5 mm, vertical 0.4+/-0.2 mm which all within 0~10 mm. The couch shift variable after positioning that are comparable to residual errors are 0.3+/-0.1, 0.5+/-0.1, and 0.3+/-0.1 mm. The mean detection errors by longitudinal shift between 20~40 mm are 0.4+/-0.3 in lateral, 0.6+/-0.5 in longitudinal, 0.5+/-0.3 in vertical direction. The detection errors are all within range of 0.3~0.5 mm. Residual errors are within 0.2~0.5 mm. Each values are mean values based on 3 tests. Conclusion: Phantom is based on treatment couch shift and error within the average 5mm can be gained by the diminution detected by image registration based on OBI and CBCT. Therefore, the selection of target position which depends on OBI and CBCT could be considered as useful.

In order to reduce the lead-time and cost, recently the technology of rapid protoyping and manufacturing(RPM)has been widely used. Machining process is still considered as one of the effective RPM methods that have been developed and currently available in the industry. It also offers practical advantages such as precision and versatility. Some considerations are still required during the machining process. One of the most important points is fixturing. There should be an effective method of fixturing since the fixturing time depends on the complexity of geometry of the part to be machined. In this paper, the rapid manufacturing process has been developed combining machining with automatic filling. The proposed fixturing technique using automatic filling can be widely applicable to free surface type of product such as a fan. In the filling stage, remeltable material is chosen for the filling process. An automatic set-up device attachable to the table of the machine has also been developed. The device ensures the quality during a series of machining operations. This proposed process has shown to be a useful method to manufacture the required products with the reduced the response-time and cost.

Recently, in order to satisfy the consumer's demand the life cycle and the lead-time of a product is to be shortened. It is thus important to reduce the time and cost in manufacturing trial products. Several techniques have been developed and successfully commercialized in the market RPM(Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing). However, most commercial systems currently use resins or waxes as the raw materials. So, the limited mechanical strength for functional testing is regarded as an obstacle towards broader application of rapid prototyping techniques. To overcome this problems, high-speed machining technology is being investigated worldwide for rapid manufacturing and even for direct rapid tooling application. In this paper, some fundamental experiments and analyses are carried out to obtain the filling time, materials, method, and process parameters for HisRP process. HisRP is a combination process using high-speed machining technology with automatic filling. In filling process, Bi58-Sn alloy is chosen because of the properties of los-melting point, low coefficient of thermal expansion and enviromental friendship. Also the use of filling wire is of advantage in term of simple and flexible mechanism. Then the rapid manufacturing product, for example a skull, is machined for aluminum material by HisRP process with an automatic set-up device of 4-faces machining.
