Purpose : To evaluate the usefulness of comparison of the signal intensity of uterine septum in the differential diagnosis of bicornuate and septate uterus on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Materials and methods : Preoperative MR imaging findings of surgically proven 5 bicornuate and 6 septate uteri were retrospectively analyzed. Because preoperative differential diagnosis of both was possible in all cases in terms of the intercornual distance, external contour of uterine fungus, and divergent angle of two uterine cavities, these criteria were excluded in this study. The signal intensity of uterine septum in patients with bicornuate and septate uterus was analyzed on T1-weighted and fast spin echo T2-weighted images obtained in the axial and coronal planes, using a 1.5-T MR scanner. The signal intensity of uterine septum especially on T2-weighted images was compared with that of myometrium or junctional zone. Results : The signal intensity of uterine septum in patients with bicornuate uterus (n=5) and septate uterus (n=6) was similar to that of myometrium in all cases on T1-weighted images. The septum of bicornuate uterus (n=5) on fast spin echo T2-weighted images was isointense with myometrium in three and hypointense in two cases. The uterine septum of septate uterus (n=6) on T2-weighted images was isointense with myometrium in two, hypointense in two, and isointense with or more hypointense than junctional zone in two cases. No patient showed different signal intensity between upper and lower uterine septum. Conclusion : Because the MR signal intensity of the uterine septum in bicornuate or septate uterus is variable, it should not be used alone in the differential diagnosis of them. In these clinically important differentiation, therefore, comprehensive analysis of MR findings in terms of the external contour of uterine fundus, intercornual distance, divergent angle of two uterine cavities, in addition to the signal intensity of the uterine septum, should be considered.

We investigated surface-relief profiles of the TPHK(telecentric paraxial holographic kinofrm) used as a Fourier-transform lens employing exact geometrical raytracing. For the TPHK of F/8 and focal length of 15 mm, we consider the cases where the thickness of the substrate is 0 and 50 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, dividing the surface-relif profiles into fifty steps from plano-convex to convexplano shapes and varying the angle of incidence($0^{\circ},{2.5}^{\circ},5^{\circ}$). In order to identify appropriate surface-relief profiles, we employ, as criteria of performance, rms spot size, rms deviation from $f{\sin}{\theta}$, peak position and FWHM(full width at half maximum), number of rays abandoned from raytracing etc., which are determined from the result of exact raytracing. It is found that the profile with 80% of its relief thickness facing the image plane gives the best performance regardless of the presence of substrate.

Bidet is widely used and is being developed for multipurpose. However, use of this bidet varies by the elderly and disabled people. Therefore, this research compares and analyze need of bidet for elderly and disabled people and by many different types. This survey was conducted targeting 39 elderly and 120 disabled people. This survey is consist of questions that varies by bidet companies and includes questions like UI cognitive abilities, automatic water flushing, position of control box and necessary of embossment for icons. As a result, elderly and disabled people showed similar in result but for visually impaired person, the ratio of preference showed 1:9 which is opposite. As for visually impaired person, the ratio of preference showed 1:9 which is pretty high.

Purpose: A study was conducted to ensure the structural safety of a raised girder bridge with improved cross-sectional efficiency compared to the conventional PSC girder. For this purpose, the cross-sectional specifications such as girder length, height, and width were determined, the arrangement of the tendons was designed, and the practical performance of the raised girder under static and dynamic loads was verified. Method: The static performance experiment examined the serviceability limit state by measuring behavioral responses such as deflection and cracking to primary and secondary static loads. In addition, the dynamic load loading experiment measured the acceleration and displacement behavior response over time to calculate the natural frequency and damping ratio to examine the usability limit state. Result: As a result of the static performance test, the deflection value based on the maximum applied load showed stable behavior, and the crack width measured at the maximum applied load level was very small, satisfying the serviceability limit state. In addition, a natural frequency exceeding the natural frequency calculated during the design of the dynamic loading experiment was found, and a damping ratio that satisfies the current regulations was found to be secured.

When diffraction by arbitrary two-dimensional surface-relief dielectric gratings is analyzed using the rigorous three-dimensional vector coupled-wave analysis, it is found that the matrix eigenvalue problem pertaining to the analysis can always be simplified to that for a matrix which has the dimension of a quarter of the original, so that computing time and memory requirements for computer may be greatly reduced. However this kind of simplification can not be obtained in the case of volume diffraction gratings. tings.

단열 완충재의 하부단면에서 양각 형태가 전체 면적에서 .차지하는 비율에 따라 진동 충격음 저감량을 실험하였다. 양각 형태가 차지하는 비율이 높더라도 진동 충격음 저감량에는 큰 성능을 나타내지 않았다. 바닥 구조에서 슬래브와 상판 사이에 단열완충재를 설치할 경우 중량 충격음이 오히려 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 이것은 뜬 바닥 구조에서 완충재의 설치로 인하여 슬래브와 상판간의 거동이 다르게 발생하기 때문이다.

이미지 분석이나 데이터 베이스 인덱싱 또는 종이 문서를 전자 문서화 하는 문제는컴퓨터 비젼 응용분야에서 중요 관심사가 되어왔다. 이러한 문제들을 처리하기 위해서는 제일 먼저 이미지와 문자가 혼합되어 있는 문서에서 자동으로 문자와 이미지들을 분리해 내는 과정이 필수 적이다. 본 논문에서는 신문이나 광고등에서 볼 수 있는 이미지, 음각 문자와 양각 문자가 섞여 있는 문서에서 문자만을 추출하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 알고리즘은 Run-length code를 이용하여 문자나 이미지의 경계선(bound) 모양의 특징을 추출하여 음각 문자와 이미지, 양각 문자를 구분한다. 그리고 추출된 글자들을 3차원 공간상에 매핑한 후 3차원 면적 가중치 그래프를 이용하여 관련된 단어들로 묶어주는 3차원 그룹핑 알고리즘을 제시한다. 실험결과로는 추출된 문자와 그룹핑된 결과를 보여준다.

이 시스템은 '신발공장 라인'에서 신발 밑창 생산품을 자동적으로 측정하는 것이다. 즉 문자인식 기법으로 인식된 치수와 컴퓨터 비전에 의해 측정된 길이를 비교하여 불량품을 분류한다. 이 논문에서는 이 중 문자영역 추출에 대한 연구를 하였다. 우리가 인식하려고 g는 밑창제품의 양각된 문자의 경우는 배경과 거의 같은 밝기 값을 가지므로 하나의 임계치로 분리 불가능하며 따라서 인쇄된 문자를 인식하는 경우에와 같은 일반적인 방법으로는 양각된 문자영역을 추출하기는 쉽지 않다. 여기에서는 임계값을 달리한 에지 검출 결과에 레이블링 과정을 거친 후 객체로 인식하여 그 각각의 객체의 구성 성분을 PCA 및 기타 방법을 이용하여 해당 객체가 문자인지 아닌지를 판별하는 방법을 썼다. 이 방법의 장점으로는 다양한 환경, 물체의 색깔, 밝기가 달라져도 공통적으로 적용할 수 있는 장점을 지닌다.
