Radioactive isotopes which are manufactured using a cyclotron in a radioisotope used for radiation diagnosis is affected by the production yield according to size and shape of the beam and beam uniform degree from irradiated location when the proton beam investigated the target by cyclotron. Therefore, in this paper developed the BPM(Beam Profile Monitor) device capable of measuring the beam cross-section at the cyclotron beam line. It was configured so as to be able to remote control the BPM device in LabView and used the BPM program it was to be able to easily monitor and display to analyze the graph of two-dimensional graph and a three-dimensional beam distribution numerical information of the beam obtained while scanning the tungsten wire to the X and Y axis. The time it takes to measure the beam can be confirmed 37seconds when step motor driving speed was 2000pps. Through a beam readjusted based on the measured beam distribution information by optimizing the beam distribution it can be made to maximize the RI production yield and contribute supply stabilization.

Ultrasound brain stimulation is spot-lighted by its capability of inducing brain cell activation in a localized deep brain region and ultimately treating impaired brain function while the efficiency and directivity of neural modulation are highly dependent on types of stimulus waveforms. Therefore, to optimize the types of stimulation parameters, we propose a cell-cultivable ultrasonic transducer having a series stack of a spin-coated polymer piezoelectric element (Poly-vinylidene fluoride-trifluorethylene, PVDF-TrFE) and a parylene insulating layer enhancing output acoustic pressure on a glass-coverslip which is commonly used in culturing cells. Due to the uniformity and high accuracy of stimulus waveform, tens of neuronal cell responses located on the transducer surface can be recorded simultaneously with fluorescence microscopy. By averaging the cell response traces from tens of cells, small changes to the low intensity ultrasound stimulations can be identified. In addition, the reduction of stimulus distortions made by standing wave generated from reflections between the transducers and other strong reflectors can be achieved by placing acoustic absorbers. Through the proposed ultrasound transducer, we could successfully observe the calcium responses induced by low-intensity ultrasound stimulation of 6 MHz, 0.2 MPa in astrocytes cultured on the transducer surface.

Commercial analysis has been used for a lot of reasons such as improving the distribution structure, operational cost savings. However, existing commercial assay system is mostly flow through the analysis of the population and the environment around the store. Therefore, in this paper, we design a path weighted data analysis system for efficient product arrangement. It is not applying the analysis method of the existing commercial sales center but the data analysis system applying the weight to the form of customers' paths in a store. In conjunction with the existing POS system, it provides effective product placement in department stores, such as supermarkets, convenience stores. To this end, a system that maximizes efficiency of product placement in stores, receiving path data, converting them into statistics data that apply the weight, and printing out them into a visualized monitering system for the manager to see was designed.

IRWMS(Integrated Real time Water Management System)은 우리나라의 수자원 운영환경에 부합하도록 하천유역에 수자원 통합관리 개념을 도입한 실시간 물관리 의사결정지원 시스템이다. 국내 기술로 개발하여 실무에 적용함으로써 수자원 이용 효율을 극대화하고 선진국 수준의 수자원 관리기술을 확보하기 위한 방안으로 개발되어졌다. 이러한 물관리 시스템 구축을 위해서는 통합 유역에 적합한 모형의 선택과 이수, 치수, 수질 관리 모델의 통합 방안, 해당 유역특성을 반영한 시스템 구성 방법, 각각의 모형의 입,출력 자료의 관리 및 실무에 적용하기 용이한 GUI 구성 등을 고려하여야 한다. 물관리 시스템은 GIS 기반의 해석모형과 웹기반의 정보, 지식 전달 시스템, 수문자료 관리를 위한 DB시스템 등으로 구성되어져 있으며 SOBEK, RIBASIM, MIKE BASIN, WEAP 등 다양한 물관리 시스템들은 각각의 개발 시기나 쓰임에 따라 해석모형과 DB의 사용유무 등 여러 기능들을 차별화하여 구성하고 있다. RIBASIM(RIver BAsin SIMulation)의 경우 다양한 해석모형 들을 각각의 과정에 따라 사용하고 있으며 CMT(Case Management tool), CAT(Case Analysis Tool)라 불리는 기능들을 통하여 각각의 과정을 순차적으로 진행하고 분석하고 있으며 자사의 수문DB관리 프로그램, 수질, GIS도구 등과 연동하여 사용되고 있다. MIKE BASIN의 경우 ArcGIS의 EXTENSION으로 강력한 GIS기능과 비쥬얼한 화면 구성을 그 특징으로 가지고 있다. IRWMS는 강우유출모형과 댐군 저수지 연계 운영모형, 수질모형으로 구성되어져 있으며 DB와의 연동을 통하여 실시간으로 의사결정자들이 의사결정을 지원하며 실무진 중심의 GUI구성을 통하여 실용성을 중심에 두었다. IRWMS는 금강, 낙동강의 구축사례에서 보듯이 실시간 운영으로 수자원 관리 실무진의 사용에 그 주안점을 두었지만 차후 범용화와 상기에서 언급한 여러 국내외 시스템들의 장점을 받아들인다면 각각의 유역특성에 맞는 다양한 활용으로 수자원기술의 선진화에 크게 기여를 할 것이다.

Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) has adopted a new rule that can provide a 1,200 MHz unlicensed spectrum to maximize the public benefits in the 5.925 ~ 7.125 GHz(6 GHz) band by expanding unlicensed broadband into the 6 GHz band while also ensuring that licensed services that operate in the band continue to thrive. In Korea, the M/W band of 6 GHz has been reallocated to introduce unlicensed services in the 6 GHz band. Considering the national interests, the entire 1,200 MHz will be supplied for the indoor uses, but only the 500 MHz of the lower bandwidth (5925 ~ 6425 MHz) will for the outdoor uses under the limited power to protect the incumbent services. The introduction of unlicensed devices is being actively promoted through the reallocation of the 6 GHz M/W band, but since it is desperately necessary to prepare technical requirements to operate them in Korea. In this paper, the US 6 GHz unlicensed rules has been analyzed, these results will be utilized for establishing Korean technical standards with the unlicensed spectrum expansion.

Because of the growing interest in supercritical carbon dioxide power cycle technology owing to its potential enhancement in compactness and efficiency, supercritical carbon dioxide cycles have been studied in the fields of nuclear power, concentrated solar power (CSP), and fossil fuel power generation. This study introduces the current status of the research project on the supercritical carbon dioxide power cycle by Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER). During the first phase of the project, the un-recuperated supercritical Brayton cycle test loop was built and tested. In phase two, researchers are designing and building a supercritical carbon dioxide dual Brayton cycle, which utilizes two turbines and two recuperators. Under the simulation condition considered in this study, it was confirmed that the design parameter has an optimal value for maximizing the net power in the supercritical carbon dioxide dual cycle.

To examine the performance of a diagnostic X-ray system, we tested a linearity, reproducibility, and Half Value Layer(HVL). The linearity was examined 4 times of irradiation with a given condition, and we recorded a level of radiation. We then calculated the mR/mAs. And the measured value should not be more than 0.1. If the measured value was more than 0.1, we could know that the linearity was decreased. The reproducibility was analyzed 10 times of irradiations at 80kVp, 200mA, 20mAs and 120kVp, 300mA, 8mAs. The values from these analyses were integrated into CV equation, and we could get outputs. The reproducibility was good if the output was lower than 0.05. HVL was measured 3 times of irradiation without a filter, and we inserted additional HLV filters with 0, 1, 2, 4 mm of thickness. We tested the values until we get the measured value less than a half of the value measured without additional filter. We tested the linearity, the reproducibility, and HVL of 5 diagnostic X-ray generators in this facilities. The linearity of No. 1 and No. 5 generator didn't satisfy the standard for radiation safety around 300mA~400mA and 100mA~200mA, respectively. HVL of No.1 generator was not satisfied at 80kVp. The outputs were higher in the three-phase equipment than the single-phase equipment. The old generators need to maintain and exchange of components based on the these results. Then, we could contribute to getting more exact diagnosis increasing a quality of the image and decreasing an expose dose of radiation.
