Clinical laboratories endeavor to secure quality by establishing effective quality management systems. However, laboratory environments are complex, and single quality control procedures may inadequately detect many errors. Patient-based real-time quality control (PBRTQC) is a laboratory tool that monitors the testing process using algorithms such as Bull's algorithm and several variables, such as average of normal, moving median, moving average, and exponentially weighted moving average. PBRTQC has many advantages over conventional quality control, including low cost, commutability, continuous real-time performance monitoring, and sensitivity to pre-analytical errors. However, PBRTQC is not easily implemented as it requires statistical algorithm selection, the design of appropriate rules and protocols, and performance verification. This review describes the basic concepts, methods, and procedures of PBRTQC and presents guidelines for implementing a patient-based quality management system. Furthermore, we propose the combined use of PBRTQC when the performance of internal quality control is limited. However, clinical evaluations were not conducted during this review, and thus, future evaluation is required.

As a test for diagnosing fatty liver, recently, ultrasound and blood exam are being performed simultaneously. In particular, in the case of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in blood exam, it is used as an index indicating the level of inflammation in various parts of the body as well as cardiovascular diseases. Thus, this study was conducted to analyze the association between metabolic syndrome components, liver function, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels according to the degree of nonalcoholic fatty liver, and use it as a clinical indicator for fatty liver diagnosis. Metabolic syndrome components, liver function and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein blood test values analyzed from 1,139 men and women over 20 years of age with nonalcoholic fatty liver in abdominal ultrasonography from March 2021 to August 2021 at the Korea Association of Health Promotion, Gwangju-Jeonnam Branch. Analyzed for all men and women, the blood test values for subjects with mild fatty liver were AST 30 U/L, ALT 32.1 U/L, γ-GTP 41.2 IU/L, and hs-CRP 0.14 mg/dL. These values were lower than the blood test values of subjects with moderate fatty liver (AST 38 U/L, ALT 47.6 U/L, γ-GTP 54.9 IU/L, hs-CRP 0.22 mg/dL) and was statistically significant (p<0.001). In this case of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein test, it is statistically significant, showing higher values in Subjects with moderate fatty liver than Subjects with mild fatty liver. thus, it is considered that hs-CRP can be used as clinical data for the prevention and management of fatty liver.

In this paper, we presented Under Vehicle Inspection System by comparing two image signals. Two signals are generated by license plate number and under-vehicle pattern recognition. The test shows reliable precision within real-time of 2.8sec, which can be applicable commercially. In the future, more research will be conducted to enhance the precision by automatic image balance in many challenging situations.

본 논문은 gouging이 있는 free-formed parametric surface 모델로부터 간섭영역을 찾아 공구간섭을 검사하고 이를 제거하여 실시간으로 3축 NC가공을 할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 제안되는 방법은 parametri surface로부터 cartesian 경로를 따라 offset surface를 구하고 정의된 가공평면과의 교차곡선을 구하는 것에서 부터 시작한다. 교차곡선으로부터간섭 loop의 형성 여부를 검사함으로써 간섭영역을 찾을 수 있고 간섭을 제거하기 위해 간섭영역내의 모든 CC점이 공구 중심으로 부터 최소한 공구를 벗어나 위치하도록 공구를 공구의 측방향으로 이동시켰다. 이 논문은 free-formed surface의 gouging 부위에서 발생하는 공구간섭을 신속히 제거하고 CL data를 생성하여 실시간으로 3축 NC 가공을 하기 위한 하나의 접근이다.

The purpose of this study is to develop realistic painting simulation in real-time as well as to represent the thickness of the deposited paint on the surface. The Gaussian model is used for a painting deposition model to calculate the thickness of paints. For a painting simulation, rather than implementing particle systems, we propose a new heuristic algorithm for painting process based on a few number of rays. After we find the collision points of the rays with an environment, we compute the painted area using flood-fill searching method on the texture map and visualize paint effects. We analyzed time complexity of our method to verify that our system is suitable for real-time VR applications.

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) causes paratuberculosis or Johne's disease, an intestinal granulomatous infection in domestic and wild animals. The study aimed to develop and evaluate a panel of multiplex quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (mqPCR) assay for simultaneous detection of three MAP-specific genes (IS900, F57 and ISMAP02 genes). The analytic sensitivity (i.e., limit of detection, expressed as cells per 1 ml) was 150 for IS900, 1500 for F57, and 50 for ISMAP02. The specificity of the method was determined by testing 152 bovine fecal samples. Based on the test, it showed that the assay simultaneously detected the target genes in short period of time and at lower cost compared to laboratory routine tests. The test agreement between the assay and routine test was 94%. The discrepancy in the results was due to samples that were tested positive by the panel but negative by the routine tests, suggesting that the assay has higher sensitivity than the routine tests. In conclusion, the mqPCR assay could be a rapid and accurate testing tool for investigating paratuberculosis or Johne's disease cases in domestic and wild animals.

Ultrasonography is one of the fields on the imaging studies within intra-abdominal organs. A blood test is a typical method of clinical chemical examination on the in vivo test of clinical symptoms. Fatty liver is performed simultaneously two kinds of diagnostics methods, intra-abdominal ultrasound and blood tests. At an implementing this, the standard of blood tests value was the TBIL, TC, AST, ALT, ALP, GGT, TG, HDL-C, GLU. In this study analyzing the accuracy of the two kinds of test, ultrasonography and blood test, on patients with fatty liver. From January to March 2012, patients 459 determined fatty liver within 1350, who received health examination simultaneously on the intra-abdominal ultrasonography and blood tests. Same result of ultrasonography and blood test's patients were 459 ie, 60.8%. and different result of those examinations was 280 ie, 39.2%. Consequently diagnostic accuracy was 60.8%. It presumably caused by differences in the diagnostic performance of ultrasound professionals(Radiologist or Radiological Technologist). In order to overcome this, ongoing educational and study will be needed.

This study presents the development of a machine vision inspection system(MVIS) purposely for car seat frames as an alternative for human inspection. The proposed MVIS is designed to meet the demands, features and specifications of car seat frame manufacturing companies in striving for increased throughput of better quality. This computer-based MVIS is designed to perform quality measures by detecting holes, nuts and welding spots on every car seat frame in real time. In this study, the NI Vision Builder software for Automatic Inspection was used as a solution in configuring the aimed quality measurements. The techniques for visual inspection are optimized through qualitative analysis and simulation of human tolerance on inspecting car seat frames. Furthermore, this study exemplifies the incorporation of the optimized vision inspection environment to the pre-inspection and post-inspection subsystems. The system built on this proposed MVIS for car seat frames has successfully found the possible detections.

비파괴검사방식 중 자기누설 탐상법(Magnetic Flux Leakage, MFL)은 선박의 표면이나 인간의 손이 닿지 않는 곳의 부식상태를 파악하기에 적합한 방법이다. 실시간 모니터링 가능한 자기누설 탐상 시스템은 빠르고 정확한 검사가 요구되는 대형 선박의 교면 검사에서 유용하게 사용될 것으로 예상된다. 본 논문에서는 스파이더형의 소형 비파괴 검사기를 실시간 모니터링이 가능하도록 제작하였다.
