방사성폐기물 드럼내에 포함되어 있는 방사성 핵종의 양이 핵종분석장치로 측정할 수 있는 검출 하한치 이하이거나, 혹은 너무 높아 불감시간이 크게 증가될 경우에는 순수 Ge 검출기를 장착한 핵종분석장치로는 분석이 불가능하게 되므로 본 연구에서는 표면선량율과 Scaling Factor를 이용하여 드럼속에 포함되어 있는 핵종들의 양을 평가하는 방법을 제시하였으며, 불균일성이 높을 경우의 가능한 평가방법을 알아보기 위하여 점선원을 이용한 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 비균질 드럼에 대해서는 점선원을 이용한 자료를 이용하는 것이 합리적이고 기하학적 산술평균을 취함으로써 보다 정확도가 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 그 오차범위는 -25%∼5.5%로서 실제보다 상당히 낮게 평가되는 경향이 있으므로 적절한 비균질성 보정인자를 적용할 필요가 있는 것으로 생각된다.

와전류를 이용한 전위강하법은 시험체에 와전류를 비접촉식으로 발생 시킬 수 있어 기존의 방식에 비해 결함 검출시 발생하는 오차를 줄일 수 있고 물체의 결함 검출신호의 신뢰성을 향상 시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 와전류를 이용한 전위강하법의 전자기 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 3차원 유한요소해석과정에서 해석시간을 단축시키기 위해 각 영역별로 MVP, ESP, RMSP, TMSP의 미지수 변수를 부여하여 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 기존의 전위강하법에 와전류의 개념을 적용하기 위해서 결함의 깊이와 주파수에 대한 영향을 검토하였다. 정확한 결함검출을 위해 검사과정을 초기검사와 정밀검사로 나누어서 실시하여 결함의 위치를 $\pm$2[mm]까지 도출해 낼 수 있었으며 결함의 폭과 크기도 어느 정도 추측해 낼 수 있었다.

Coincidence summing correction effects are known to be greater as the efficiency of the detector increases and as the distance between the source and the detector increases. A point source($^{60}Co$) was used to vary the distance in the direction of the detector's center axis and in the radial direction to obtain the P/T ratio for Coincidence summing correction calibration. In this study, values for coincidence summing corrected calibration of the values in the central and radial directions were applied to the mixed volume source(450 ml CRM source) to compare the overall peak efficiency change according to P/T with Geant4. In addition, the efficiency obtained from the mapping method is applied to the seaweed, a marine sample, and the compatibility of the P/T ratio with the detector and sample very dose together. The efficiency corrected to 1,836 keV was applied to the energy zone affected by the efficiency of 500 keV and the relative error of the measured and corrected values was well matcched by the 3.2 % peak efficiency correction. As with 450 mL CRM source, the larger the volume, the lower the P/T ratio was by ${\pm}5%$. This is due to the increased scattering of gamma-rays emitted as the source becomes farther away from the detector, and this change in P/T has been confirmed to affect the Coincidence summing corrected peak efficiency.

Accurate measurement of uranium enrichment is very important in nuclear material accountability. The analysis uncertainty of the uranium enrichment measurement with gamma-ray analysis was studied in the present work. FRAM (Fixed energy Response function Analysis with Multiple efficiencies) code was used to determine the uranium enrichment. If the shield materials were placed between the detector and the sample, the error was measured and analyzed. Measurement time was varied and the dependency of the analysis uncertainty on the measurement time was studied. Transmitted gamma-ray intensities and FWHMs of the peaks in the energy spectrum were measured as the shield thickness was varied. The transmitted gamma-ray intensity follows shape of the exponential function, and the FWHM was almost independent of the shield thickness. The uncertainty of FRAM analysis was studied when the thick shield material was placed between the detector and the sample. Our work could be helpful in analysis of the fissile material in uranium sample.

In this paper, a new Smith predictor controller for a disturbance adding to input side of a time delay plant is proposed. A disturbance observer is obtained to estimate an input disturbance and the new Smith predictor controller to eliminate the effects of a disturbance is designed using the disturbance observer. As a result, the proposed Smith predictor controller can make a steady state error for step input disturbance zero quickly. The effectiveness and the improved performance of the proposed system are verified by computer simulation.

This paper presents balancing control of inverted pendulum on the ROBOKER arm using visual information. The angle of the inverted pendulum placed on the robot arm is detected by a stereo camera and the detected angle is used as a feedback and tracking error for the controller. Thus, the overall closed loop forms a visual servoing control task. To improve control performance, neural network is introduced to compensate for uncertainties. The learning algorithm of radial basis function(RBF) network is performed by the digital signal controller which is designed to calculate floating format data and embedded on a field programmable gate array(FPGA) chip. Experimental studies are conducted to confirm the performance of the overall system implementation.

To recover transmitted signal perfectly at DTV receiver, we have to acquire carrier frequency synchronization to compensate pilot signal which located in wrong position and rotated phase. Also, we need a symbol timing synchronization to compensate sampling timing error. Conventionally, to synchronize symbol timing, we use Gardner's scheme which used in multi-level signal. Gardner's scheme is well known for its sampling the timing error signal from every symbol and it makes easy to detect and keep timing sync in multi-path channel. In this paper, to discuss the problem when the received power level is out of range and we cannot get synchronization information. With this problem, we use 2 step procedures. First, we put a received signal power compensation block before Garder's timing error detector. Second, adaptive loop filter to get a fast synchronization information and averaging loop filter's output value to reduce the amount of jitter after synchronization in PLL(Phased Locked Loop) circuit which is used to get a carrier frequency synchronization and symbol timing synchronization. Using the averaging value, we can estimate offset. Based on offset changing ratio, we can adapt adaptive loop filter to carrier frequency and symbol timing synchronization circuit.

Modern automated culture systems have increased the isolation rate of microorganisms and shortened the time to detection, reducing experimental errors in diagnosis of infecting agents. BacT/ALERT 3D system is based on the colorimetric detection of $CO_2$ produced by the growing microorganisms. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the detection system, sterility test were performed using 6 bacteria. With standard aerobic and anaerobic bottles containing the liquid media, both three aerobic bacteria (P. aeruginosa, M. luteus, B. subtilis) and a facultative bacterium S. aureus were detected up to 1 CFU in 31.44 hr. In addition, growth of anaerobic C. sporogenes was recognized up to 1 CFU in 15.96 hr. The slowly growing bacteria P. acnes was detected up to 10,000 CFU in 129.36 hr. In comparison with conventional culture method, BacT/ALERT 3D automated culture system was more sensitive and saved detection time up to$2\sim10$ hr. Therefore, this automated culture system enables to efficiently detect bacteria in clinical samples and biological medicines.

This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter. The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively.
