Ultrafast ultrasound imaging has been applied to various imaging approaches, including shear wave elastography, ultrafast Doppler, and super-resolution imaging. However, these methods are still challenging in real-time implementation for three Dimension (3D) or portable applications because of their massive data rate required. In this paper, we proposed an adaptive quantization method that effectively reduces the data rate of large Radio Frequency (RF) data. In soft tissue, ultrasound backscatter signals require a high dynamic range, and thus typical quantization used in the current systems uses the quantization level of 10 bits to 14 bits. To alleviate the quantization level to expand the application of ultrafast ultrasound imaging, this study proposed a depth-sectional quantization approach that reduces the quantization errors. For quantitative evaluation, Field II simulations, phantom experiments, and in vivo imaging were conducted and CNR, spatial resolution, and SSIM values were compared with the proposed method and fixed quantization method. We demonstrated that our proposed method is capable of effectively reducing the quantization level down to 3-bit while minimizing the image quality degradation.

In liquid-fuel spray combustion, an experimental study was conducted to observe the effect of ultrasonic excitation on the ultrasonically-atomized liquid fuel flame by controlling pressure field through an ultrasonic standing wave. Flame of the ultrasonically-atomized kerosene aerosol was visualized by using a high speed camera, DSLR, and Schlieren photography. The amount of fuel consumed was obtained by a precise flow-rate measurement technique during combustion, through which the ratio of carrier gas (air) to fuel mass was able to be obtained, too. As a result, it could be found that the combustion reaction-rate of the liquid-fuel aerosol was increased by applying an ultrasonic standing wave to the secondary flame zone of the flame.

A study was conducted to scrutinize the behavior of the ultrasonically-atomized kerosene lifted-flame according to the carrier gas flow-rate and position of ultrasonic standing wave (USW). The combustion region of the kerosene-aerosol generated through a slit-jet nozzle was visualized using a DSLR, ICCD, high-speed camera, and Schlieren technique, and the fuel consumption was measured by using a precision balance. As a result, the flame was confined within the region bounded by the USW-field, and the fuel consumption decreased as the position of the USW field increased.

A study was conducted to analyze the behavioral change of the kerosene flame ultrasonically-atomized under an ultrasonic standing-wave. Combustion region was visualized through DSLR, ICCD camera and the Schlieren photography with high-speed camera. The fuel consumption was measured by a precise scale. As a result, in the case of ultrasonic standing-wave excitation, it was observed that the intensity of OH radical(OH^*) was enhanced and optimal combustion condition was formed around the upper edge of the standing-wave field.

보통사람의 성대는 일상회화중 1초에 100∼300번의 진동을 하며 노래를 하는 경우는 1,000번 이상도 진동하게 되므로 우리의 유안으로는 그 자세한 진동상태를 관찰할 수가 없어 특수한 기기를 사용해야만 한다. 현재로서 사용되는 특수기기로는 후두스트로보스코피(laryngostroboscopy), 초고속영화법(ultra high speed photography), 그로토그라피(glottography) 및 카이모그라피(kymography) 등이 있다. 이 중 초고속영화법은 1초에 3,000회 이상의 성대진동을 촬영할 수 있어 연구 및 교육에 대단히 유용한 기기이나 가격이 비싸고 그 data를 분석하는데 시간이 많이 걸려 일반임상검사로서는 부적당하며 그로토그라피는 성대자체를 직접 관찰하는 것이 아니고 그 관측결과를 그래프로 나타내주는 기기로서 에에는 초음파, 광전 및 전기를 이용한 방법등이 있다.

Hydro-Reactive metal Fuel (HRF) which has more fuel than general solid propellant reducing oxidizing agent is suitable for ultrahigh speed rocket motor in the water. However, burning rate of HRF has not been studied yet. Through the earlier studies, we established ultrasonics measurement system measuring burning rate of solid propellant as a function of pressure in a single test and verified its reliability. In this paper, we will measure burning rate of HRF using ultrasound with previous development measurement system.

An experimental study was performed to investigate the combustion characteristics of the liquid hydrocarbon fuel atomized by an ultrasonic oscillator. Configuration of the flame was caught by the high-speed camera, and images were analyzed in detail through a post-processing. In addition, the fuel consumption was measured using the balance during the combustion reaction. As a result, the consumption of atomized fuel increased with the increasing flow-rate of carrier-gas, but any correlation between the air/fuel ratio and carrier-gas flow-rate was not found. The variation of flame area was dependent on the fuel consumption and input power of the ultrasonic oscillator. FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) analyses using the flame area were conducted in order to discuss flame flickering.

An experimental study was performed for the combustion-field visualization of the burner which burns the liquid hydrocarbon fuel atomized by an ultrasonic oscillator. Configurations of the flame and combustion-field were caught by both high-speed camera and thermo-graphic camera, and those images were analyzed in detail through a post-processing. As a result, the combustion-field grew and reaction-temperature rose due to the strengthening of combustion reaction with the increasing flow-rate of carrier-gas. In addition, a phenomenon of flame flickering was discussed through the comparative analysis of the variational behaviors between the visible flame and IR (Infrared) flame-field.

Among the various diagnostic methods for the voice disorders, video laryngo-stroboscopy is one of the most practical techniques for clinical examination of the vocal fold vibration. It provides valuable informations about the nature of vocal folds' vibration, the extent of pathologic change and data recording for analysis. To obtain the stroboscopic characteristics of several voice disorders, and apply those informations to the diagnosis and management of disorders, we reviewed the stroboscopic findings obtained from the patients with voice disorders at Voice laboratory, the Institute of Logopedics and Phoniatrics form April 1992 to March 1993.
