최근 입력소자로 활용되는 터치스크린은 키보드나 마우스와 같은 입력장치를 사용하지 않고, 스크린에 손가락, 펜 등을 접촉하여 입력하는 방식이다. 터치패널의 구현방식에 따라 저항막(Resistive) 방식, 정전용량(Capacitive) 방식, SAW (Surface Accoustic Wave; 초음파) 방식, IR (Infrared; 적외선) 방식등으로 구분된다. 특히 최근 관심을 받고 있는 IR 방식은 적외선이 사람의 눈에는 보이지 않으나, 직진성을 가지고 있어 장애물이 있으면 차단되는 특성을 이용한 방식이다. IR방식의 터치패널은 발광(Light emitting)소자와 수광(Light detecting)소자가 마주하도록 배치되어 터치에 의해 차단된 좌표를 인식하게 되며, ITO 필름 등이 필요 없어 Glass 1장으로도 구현이 가능하며 투과율이 우수하다. 이러한 IR 방식의 터치패널을 제작하기 위하여 사용된 IR 광검출기는 광학적 band-gap이 작은 박막물질을 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 IR 광검출을 위한 물질로 SiGe를 co-sputtering 기법을 이용하여 성장시켰다. 일반적으로 SiGe 박막을 성장시키기 위하여 저압화학기상증착법(low pressure chemical vapor deposition, LPCVD)이나 고진공 LPCVD를 사용하지만 본 연구에서는 CVD에 비하여 무독성이면서 환경친화적이고 초기투자비용이 낮은 증착장비인 sputtering을 이용하였다. 본 연구에서 성장된 SiGe 박막은 400$^{\circ}C$에서 rf plasma가 인가된 Ge과 dc plasma가 인가된 Si의 power를 조절하여 결정화도가 70% (Fig. 1)이고 결정성장방향이 (111)과 (220)방향으로 성장하는 SiGe 박막을 얻을 수 있었다. 본 논문에서는 co-sputtering 성장조건에 따라 성장된 SiGe의 박막 특성을 논의할 것이다.

This study the problem of deposition uniformity observed during Mist-CVD deposition experiments. The TRIZ's ADRIGE algorithm, a problem-solving technique, is utilized to systematically analyze the issue and propose solutions. Through problem and resource analysis, technical contradictions are identified regarding the precursor's volume and its path when it encounters the substrate. To resolve these contradictions, the concept of applying the principle of dimensional change to transform the precursor's three-dimensional path into a one-dimensional path is suggested. The chosen solution involves the design of an enhanced Mist-CVD system, which is evaluated for feasibility and analyzed using computational fluid dynamics. The analysis confirms that the deposition uniformity consistently follows a pattern and demonstrates an improvement in uniformity. The improved Mist-CVD equipment is validated through analysis, providing evidence of its feasibility and yielding satisfactory results.

Medical treatment for animals is very difficult as the opinions of pets' masters take priority over treatment regardless of the seriousness of pets' disease or the needs of medical treatment. In case that a pet has heart disease, especially, it is difficult to get the direct answer from the pet's master on the decision or confirmation of treatment. For those reasons, it is almost impossible to predict and treat the pet before an emergency like the heart failure or an unexpected death happens. Using stethoscope can be the first diagnosis method to check the heart or any kinds of disease inside the body. High-tech equipments like CT, X-ray or Ultrasound can be used, but they can only be used as a second choice of diagnosis method since it requires professional skills and its high price. That's why stethoscope is still the best diagnostic tool when one makes the first diagnosis. In this study, we give a detailed account of digital diagnosis system in which veterinarians can analyze the sound from stethoscope without bringing it to their ears and make a diagnosis wherever they are. And we suggest a new concept of diagnosis system surrounding, which shows the relativeness of disease through Level Crossing Rate(LCR) and energy level from the stethoscope sound made in this system.

In geophysical field surveys, commercial equipments often fail to resolve the subsurface target or even sometimes fail to be applied because they do not fit to the various field situations or the physical properties of the medium or target. We developed a geophysical measurement system, which can be easily adapted for the various field situations and targets. The system based on PXI with A/D converter and some stand alone equipment such as Network Analyzer was applied to borehole radar survey, borehole sonic measurement and electromagnetic noise measurement. The system for borehole radar survey consists of PXI, Network Analyzer, dipole antennas, GPIB interface is used for PXI to control Network Analyzer. The system for borehole sonic measurement consists of PXI, 24 Bit A/D converter, high voltage pulse generator, transmitting and receiving piezoelectric sensors. The electromagnetic noise measurement system consists of PXI, 24 Bit A/D converter, 2 horizontal component electric field sensors and 2 horizontal and 1 vertical component magnetic filed sensors. The borehole radar system has been successfully applied to detect the width of the artificial tunnel through which the borehole pass and to image buried steel pipe, while the commercial borehole radar equipment failed. The borehole sonic system was tested to detect the width of artificial tunnel and showed a reasonable result. The characteristic of electromagnetic noise was grasped at an urban area with the data from the electromagnetic noise measurement system. The system is also applied to characterize the signal distortion by induction between the electric cables in resistivity survey. The system can be applied various geophysical problems with a simple modification of the system and sensors.

Recently, geophysical prospecting methods have played very important roles in civil and environmental engineering problems. Technical advances in geophysical instruments and computer system made it possible to get underground images with very high resolution far purposes to resolve those problems. It was possible partly due to ever increasing demand for development of technologies needed to precisely detect polluted areas and prevent ground-related accidents. Based on the same demand, integrity tests of cast-in place piles draw more attention and development of accurate test procedures is required. Ultrasonic methods is one of most advanced non-destructive procedures. In the paper, a geotomography method is employed for the cast-in place pile integrity test using ultrasonic waves. The image of pile interior is scanned and scrutinized far better and more accurate decision in the cast-in place pile integrity. In this study, we firstly examined the accuracy fur tomography program with idealized synthetic models built in water tank: their position and size were changed in the tank and each case was studied. In the next stage, real concrete pile models were fabricated and images of anomaly areas inside the pile were scanned to successfully locate those areas.

Purpose: Until now the general study for breast cancer patient has been mammography, breast sonography for anatomic diagnostics and $^{18}F$-FDG whole body PET for functional one. But the PEM (Positron Emission Mammography) was developed to increase sensitivity, specificity and accuracy to improve the disadvantage of each study. Therefore this present study aims to describe availability of PEM for improving diagnosis of breast cancer. Materials and Methods: During 3 months from January in 2010, PEM was performed on 100 patients who had history of breast cancer. Using Naviscan's PEM Flex Solo II scanner, PEM images of breast were acquired. And then we evaluated sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of PEM data by comparing results of PEM images with postoperative pathologic finding. Results: On the 100 patients, it could reveal 89 true positive, 9 false positive, 7 false negative and 87 true negative. Thus the results of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for PEM was evaluated 92.7%, 90.6% and 91.7%. Conclusion: The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy have been reported 83.7%, 68.5% and 77.1% in mammography, and that was 89.1%, 79.1% and 83.4% in breast sonography. However the results of PEM were more increased than others. Therefore the results of this study will be available that PEM used diagnosis with breast cancer, used preoperative operation plan and helps to discovery of a part recurrence.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of lumbar stabilization exercise using the PNF techniques on the lumbar deep muscles thickness and functional activity in chronic low back pain patient. Group I(n=10): general physical therapy group; Group II(n=10): general lumbar stabilization exercise group; Group III(n=10): lumbar stabilization exercise using PNF techniques(stabilizing reversal, rhythmic stabilization, combination of isotonic) group. Change of pain was measured with visual analog scale(VAS). To observe muscle thickness changes, we measured transverse abdominis(TrA), external oblique(EO), multifidus with real time ultrasound scanning. The functional activity were measured with Oswestry Disability Questionnaire(ODQ) and Roland & Morris Disability Questionnaire(RMDQ). In VAS test, group III had more significantly decreased than before exercise. In muscle thickness test, group III had more significantly increased than before exercise in right/left TrA, EO, multifidus. In ODQ & RMDQ test, group III had more significantly decreased than before exercise. This study show that the PNF techniques is effective in improving the lumbar stability and functional activity in chronic low back pain patients.

The static and fatigue characteristics of polyurethane foam cored sandwich structures are investigated. Three types of the specimens with the glass fabric faces and the polyurethane foam core are used; non-stitched. stitched, and stiffened sandwich specimen. Especially additional structural reinforcements with the twisted polyester and glass fiber for thickness direction are made to stitched sandwich structure panel to minimize the delamination of structure which is stitched the upper and lower faces through the core and the resin is impregnated Into stitched fiber with the characteristics of low viscosity of resin at resin flow temperature and cured together with during the curing process. Bending strength of stitched specimen which is 50 mm $50{\times}50{\;}mm$ pitched is improved by 50 % as com-pared with non-stitched specimen and stiffened specimen is improved 10 times more than non-stitched structure. After fatigue testing of $10^6$cycles by 20% of ultimate load under monotonic load, the bending fatigue strength of non-stitched specimen is decreased by 27% of monotonic bending strength, 39% for stitched structure and 20% for stiffened specimen. To verify the aging effect of polyurethane form core, Ultrasonic C-scanning equipment is used to detect the damage of skin laminate alone after fatigue test. From results of UT C-scan images, there is no defect that can be damaged occurred during fatigue test. It is concluded that the decrease of bending strength for foam cored sandwich specimen is caused by the decrease of stiffness due to the aging of polyurethane foam core during fatigue cycles.
