Signal measuring system to analyze ion concentrations in biofilm was constructed with ion selective microeleclrode and electrometer. In order to evaluate the performance and applicability of signal measuring system, the following characteristics, such as slope of calibration curve, detection limit, variation of response according to the time, and potentiometric selectivity coefficient, were investigated. The slope of calibration curve showed high degree of association for primary ion concentration. The response of the system was log-linear in standard solution down to $10{\mu}M$ and signal measuring system was not sensitive for interfering ions. In comparison with commercial electrometer, the fabricated electrometer system had similar tendencies for the slope of calibration curve, detection limit, and response time. Therefore the signal measuring system could be used to investigate ion profiles in biofilm as a cost effective and reliable measuring system.

In this study, corrosion potential ($E_{corr}$), corrosion rate, and polarization resistance were measured aimed at inorganic inhibitors (passive film type) and organic inhibitors (absorption type). The experiment was conducted using potentiostat for the variable molar ratio and chloride ion concentration of the components of inhibitors in an aqueous solution of saturated calcium hydroxide targeting corrosion. As a result, it was possible to ensure an anticorrosive performance of at least a 1.2 molar ratio of inorganic inhibitors. Also, the organic inhibitors ensured the prevention of the anticorrosive performance of at least about a 0.3 molar ratio. It also showed the tendency that between polarization resistance and corrosion rate, Ecorr and corrosion rate is inversely proportional to the linear. Conversely, the tendency between polarization resistance and Ecorr is proportional to the linear. Also, a distinct difference in organic and inorganic inhibitors' relationship to Ecorr, corrosion rate, and polarization resistance was not shown.

In order to develop an effective way of measuring the mode I stress intensity factor, $K_I$, by the technique based on the alternating current potential drop (ACPD), the effect of the magnetic flux in the air on the change in potential drop due to load for both ferromagnetic and paramagnetic materials containing a two-dimensional surface crack was investigated. Additionally the effects of the demagnetization and the crack length on the change in potential drop were examined. In the case that the measuring system was designed to induce a large amount of electromotive force, the amount of the change in potential drop due to load was shown to increase largely Also the relationship between the change in potential drop and that in $K_I$ was indicated to be linear without any treatment and it was shown that the demagnetization had almost no effect on the change in potential drop. The change in potential drop did not depend on the crack length but on the measuring system. For the application of the ACPD technique to determine $K_I$.

알루미늄-4%동 계에서의 ${\theta}$ 및 ${\theta}'$ 석출물과 석출물/기지 계면 전위를 투과전자현미경상으로 관찰하고 콘트라스트 실험 및 석출물 분석으로 석출물/기지 계면의 정합성과 여러 전위들의 Burgers 벡타를 규명하였다. 실험 결과, 변형장은 정벽면에 수직으로 되어 있고, 판상의 ${\theta}'$ 석출물은 {100}형 정벽면을 지니고 있었다. ${\theta}'$판 주위의 전위는 정벽면에 수직인 Burgers 벡타를 지닌 칼날전위였다. 그리고, 석출물과 기지 사이의 접합변형을 작게하기 위한 계면전위의 Burgers 벡타는 a<100>과 a/2<100>형이었다. 또한 Hornbogen의 예견과 일치하는 사실로, ${\theta}'$의 석출물의 끝부분에서 ${\theta}$상이 핵생성을 하는 사실을 발견하였다.

In this paper, we propose the methods not only to eliminate ELF(Extremely Low Frequency) EMI(Electro-Magnetic Interference) noice for extending recognition distance, but also to utilize the the PLN for detecting starting instance of a hand gesture using electric potential sensor. First, we measure strength of electric field generated in the smart devices such as TV and phone, and minimize EMI through efficient arrangement of the sensors. Meanwhile, we utilize the 60 Hz PLN to extract the starting point of hand gesture. Thereafter, we eliminate the PLN generated in the smart device and circuit of sensors. And then, we shield the sensors from an electric noise generated from devices. Finally, through analyzing the frequency components according to the gesture of target, we use the low pass filter and the Kalman filter for elimination of remaining electric noise. We analyze and evaluate the proposed ELF-band EMI eliminating method for non-contact remote sensing of the EPS(Electric Potential Sensor). Combined with a detecting technique of gesture starting point, the recognition distance for gestures has been proven to be extended to more than 3m, which is critical for real application.

전형적인 비저항-온도 특성을 갖는 BaTiO$_3$계 PTC 세라믹을 일반적인 세라믹 공정을 이용하여 제조하였고, 결정립계면에 형성된 전위장벽의 높이를 구하였다. ZnO 바리스터의 전위장벽을 구하기 위해 이용되었던 커패시턴스-전압 관계식과는 다른 새로운 관계식을 제안하였고, 기존의 비저항-온도 관계식을 다소 변경한 관계식을 이용하여 전위장벽을 구하였다. 두 관계식으로부터 구한 전위장벽의 높이는 매우 유사한 값을 보이고 있으며 타 연구자들에 의해 보고된 값과도 잘 일치하고 있다. 비저항-온도 관계식과 커패시턴스-전압 관계식을 이용하여 130-18$0^{\circ}C$ 구간에서 구한 전위장벽의 크기는 각각 0.41-0.76V와 0.36-0.80V이었다.

말초 미각계 및 중추 미각계에서 산화질소의 역할과 그것의 합성효소의 존재는 아직 규명되지 않고 있다. 본 연구는 말초미각계인혀와 미각구심성신경 그리고 중추미각계인 뇌간고속핵에서 산화질소 합성효소의 분포 및 면역조직화학 방법과 고삭신경의 extracellular recording 뇌간고속핵 절편 whole cell patch 방법으로 조사하였다. 신경성 산화질소 합성효소는 혀의 전방에 위치한 심상유두와 유곽유두에 약하게 존재하였으며 미뢰주위와 결체조직에 존재하는 신경섬유 및 혀의 상피층에 풍부하게 존재하였다. 혀에 소금물을 가하여 증가된 고삭신경의 복합전위는 산화질소 유리제인 SNP에 의해 증가되었으며 내인성 산화질소 합성효소 억제제인 L-NAME와 soluble guanylate cyclase 억제제인 ODQ에 의해 억제되었다. 문측 연수에 존재한 문측 고속핵과 진전핵에서 nNOS가 풍부하게 존재하였다. 문측 고속핵의 신경들은 안정막전위가 $-48{\pm}52mV$였고 활동전위의 크기는 $74{\pm}11mV$였다. SNP에 의해 뇌간 고속핵 신경들이 탈분극되었으며 current clamp하였을 때 활동전압의 빈도가 증가하였다. 또한 SNP에 의한 문측 고속핵의 탈분극과 활동전압 빈도증가는 L-NAME와 ODQ에 의해 감소되었다. 이상의 실험결과는 산화질소 합성효소가 혀와 뇌간고속핵에 존재하며 여기서 유리된 내인성 산화질소가 말초성 및 중추성 미각기전에 관여하리라 사료된다.

A stress measurement method of structural member using piezoelectric property and electrostatic voltmeter is presented. The electric potentials of the surface of the piezoelectric element, which are proportional to the strain ${\varepsilon}$ on the structural member, are measured by an electrostatic voltmeter during load cycling. The stress ${\sigma}$ is calculated by this strain ${\varepsilon}$. Moreover, a stress distribution measurement tape which can be used for the stress distribution measurement along a specified line on the surface of structural member is developed, and the surface potential was measured by an electric static voltmeter of non-contact type. The applicability of the stress distribution measurement tape is examined through experiments using a notched specimen under cyclic loading. The measured distributions of x, y and xy are compared with those calculated by FEM analysis.

In these days, with development of industry, the use of machines and structures like ships, airplanes, bridges, power plants, and structure for construction has increased and these machines and structures are used in various corrosive environment. Especially, in case of STS 304, which is material for every kind of machine and chemical plant, it makes many problems related with corrosion and as a result of this, there are happening tremendous economic loss. Therefor, in this study, the test for polarization characteristics was carried out to study characteristics of crevice corrosion of STS 304 which is austenitic stainless steel, in NaCl environment.The main results obtained are as follows :1) Part of crevice is corroded, neighboring outside surface of crevice is passivation. 2) In polarization behavior, corrosion potential of STS 304 become more noble as the concentration of NaCl solution increased by 3.5% but the concentration increased over 3.5% that of STS 3.4 become less noble. 3) The current density under corrosion potential was high drained as concentration of NaCl solution increased by 3.5% but the concentration increased over 3.5%, the current density was low drained.
