Lab effectively supplemented the effects of outside radiation on image plates in the process of image acquisition of CR (computed radiography) systems and conducted for effective utilization in the case of clinical application. For this, Lab classified the storage places and time periods of image plates and compared and analyzed the differences between small dark spots. Lab also assessed the concentration distribution within the boundaries of images. Lab compared and measured the number of dark spots in a light room and a dark room depending on the storage places of image plates and found that dark spots slightly increased in an image plate when stored in a light room on the first and second days. Dark spots increased in proportion to the length of time stored. In the case of the image plate stored in a dark room, the number of dark spots remarkably decreased. With regard to picture quality as related to the location of image plates, the damage to picture quality could be reduced by locating regions of interest in the center. With regard to differences in sharpness following changes in the thickness of subjects, fewer scatter rays occurred and sharpness improved by reducing the thickness of subjects as much as possible. To get medical images of excellent quality, image plates should be managed effectively and it is desirable to keep images plates in dark iron plate boxes and not to expose them to outside radiation for a long time.

Purpose: We wanted to evaluate the results of treating acromioclavicular joint dislocation using an AO hook plate. Materials and Methods: Between February 2008 and September 2009, 10 patients underwent implant removal after surgical treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation using a AO hook plate. The Constant-Murley scoring system was administered postoperatively for evaluating the clinical results, and simple X-ray was taken for evaluating the state of reduction. Results: All cases showed satisfactory results on the clinical and radiological study. The mean Constant-Murley score at follow-up was 90.5 (range: 84~95). Three patients had some degree of discomfort with the hook plate, but these symptoms were relieved on removal of the plate. The radiological evaluation showed restoration of the vertical displacement of the clavicle in all the patients. No complications occurred such as infection, plate failure or redislocation after removal of the plate. Conclusion: The short term follow-up results of treating acromioclvicular joint dislocation using an AO hook plate were satisfactory both clinically and radiologically.

In this paper, we propose a study on the development of deep learning structure for defective pixel detection of next-generation smart LED display board using imaging device. In this research, a technique utilizing imaging devices and deep learning is introduced to automatically detect defects in outdoor LED billboards. Through this approach, the effective management of LED billboards and the resolution of various errors and issues are aimed. The research process consists of three stages. Firstly, the planarized image data of the billboard is processed through calibration to completely remove the background and undergo necessary preprocessing to generate a training dataset. Secondly, the generated dataset is employed to train an object recognition network. This network is composed of a Backbone and a Head. The Backbone employs CSP-Darknet to extract feature maps, while the Head utilizes extracted feature maps as the basis for object detection. Throughout this process, the network is adjusted to align the Confidence score and Intersection over Union (IoU) error, sustaining continuous learning. In the third stage, the created model is employed to automatically detect defective pixels on actual outdoor LED billboards. The proposed method, applied in this paper, yielded results from accredited measurement experiments that achieved 100% detection of defective pixels on real LED billboards. This confirms the improved efficiency in managing and maintaining LED billboards. Such research findings are anticipated to bring about a revolutionary advancement in the management of LED billboards.

During Compression molding of polymeric composite materials, the flow characteristics should be obtained. Understanding the flow states may be useful for determination of optimum molding conditions, charge pattern etc. So far, for obtaining the flow analysis, no-slip boundary condition was applied on the mold surface. However, The study under consideration of the slip was conducted by Barone and Caulk. They have introduced the nondimensional parameter which is the ratio of viscous to friction resistance and governs the frictional condition. But the method for determining the parameter could not be proposed. In our work, the parameter which explains the interfacial friction is measured under a variety of molding conditions. Two-dimensional rectangular part and circular hollow disk are simulated with the measured parameter using the finite element method. Effects of the parameter on shapes of flow fronts are also presented.

This paper describes concerning the method of measurement for the intensity of ultrasonics in liquid. The probe which is added two sensive point of thermocople which is surrounded by the absorbed material of sonic wave on the both side of the refleftite plate have measured the intensity of ultrasonics indirectly by the difference of the temperature of two sensive point which had raised the temperature by the sonic wave and its reflective wave which transmitted the ultrasonic energy. This minify the influence from the temparature of liquid and time constant. Consequently, this is the basic industrial method which is with in the bounds of possibility on the simple measurement of the intensity of the local ultrasonics concerning direction of its propagation.

To construct its complex permittivity from the reflection coefficient of a thin film such as PCB substrate measured by open-ended coaxial probe, an integral equation is formulated using modal analysis and equivalent source. The accuracy of the conversion model based on the integral equation is confirmed in both cases of converted complex permittivities calculated from numerically computed and actually measured reflection coefficients. And the maximum valid frequency of open-ended coaxial probe is limited by the size of its flange.

In this paper, a novel design method for an ultra-wide band TEM horn antenna is proposed on the basis of parallel plate waveguide theory. A principle of TEM modes generation is analyzed and the characteristics of this antenna are experimentally investigated. The proposed TEM horn antenna has an exponentially tapered structure to increase matching bandwidth. Also, the designed TEM horn has shortened length but increased aperture so that the bandwidth for cutoff frequency is increased. The measured result show that the proposed TEM hem antenna has the frequency band of 75 MHz to 1200 MHz for VSWR less than 2.0 and the bandwidth of the TEM horn becomes more than twice comparing to that of a linearly tapered TEM hem. It is anticipated that the manufactured antenna is applicable to UWB systems for impulse response measurement.

화석연료를 대체할 새로운 청정 에너지원의 요구가 높아지고 있는 현 시점에서 고효율, 무공해, 무소음 등의 장점으로 인해 친환경적 에너지원으로 연료전지의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 연료전지 분리판으로 고밀도 흑연을 종래에 가공하여 제작하였는데, 가공이 어렵고, 비용이 크게 들며, 대량생산이 어렵다는 등의 문제로 스테인리스강을 위주로 한 금속 분리판 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는, 낮은 가격, 고속 증착, 우수한 가공성, 높은 기계적 강도 및 전기전도도, 화학적 안정성 및 내식성을 충족시키기 위하여 스테인리스 강박(0.1 mm이하)에 보호막으로 CrN을 선택하였다. 저가격화를 위하여 새로운 증착원인 스퍼터-승화형 소스의 가능성을 유도 결합 플라즈마에 Cr 봉을 직류 바이어스 함으로써 시도하였다. 10 mTorr의 Ar 유도 결합 플라즈마를 2.4 MHz, 400 W로 유지하면서 직류 바이어스 전력을 120 W (615 V, 0.19 A) 인가하였을 때 10분 동안의 증발양이 0.35 gr으로 측정이 되어 그 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 OES(Optical emission spectrometer)를 이용하여 RPS로 방전시킨 고밀도 ICP를 측정한 결과 842.4 nm, 811.4 nm, 772.3 nm 등의 파장에서 높은 intensity를 갖는 peak을 찾을 수 있었고, 이 peak 들은 Ar 중성의 peak임을 확인할 수 있었다. ICP+DC bias로 Cr rod를 가열하는 공정에서의 plasma를 OES로 측정한 결과 Ar 중성의 peak은 감소하고, 520.5 nm, 425.5 nm, 357.7 nm 등의 파장에서 높은 intensity를 갖는 peak을 찾을 수 있었으며, 이 peak들은 Cr 중성의 peak임을 확인할 수 있었다. OES 측정 data를 토대로 공정 중의 rod type Cr target의 교체 주기를 예측할 수 있고 공정 중 실시간 감시가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

In this study the experiment on water retention cure was conducted by using a volumetric pressure plate extractor for two different soils (SUS and KUS). When the volumetric pressure plate extractor is used, the volume of water removed from the soil sample at each increasing pressure step can be accurately measured and retained. When pressure values are subsequently reduced, the volume of water that returns to the soil can then also be accurately measured. The hysteresis effect of water retention curve was considered in the experiment. Parameters of water retention function were estimated by fitting experimental data with three proposed equations. Results of estimation showed that parameters of Gardner, Brooks-Corey and van Genuchten equations were found to be associated with air-entry value and width of size distribution. Consequently van Genuchten equation was proved to be best fined through the measured data points.

In this paper, in order to analyze property of frequency response in optical microphone, system was implemented. The capacitance microphone and fiber-optic transmission path type fiber-optic microphone (FOM) have weaknesses in directivity, size, weight, and price. However suggested optical microphone can be constituted by cheap devices, so it has many benefits like small size, light weight, high directivity, etc. Head part of optical microphone which is suggested in this paper is movable back and forth by sound pressure with the attached reflection plate. Operating point is determined by measuring the respond characteristics and choosing the point on which has maximum linearity and sensitivity while changing the distance between optical head and vibrating plate. We measured the output of the O/E transformed signal of the optical microphone while frequency of sound signal is changed using sound measurement/analysis program, Smaart Live and USBPre, which are based on PC, and compared the result from an existing capacitance microphone. The measured Optical microphone showed almost similar output characteristics as those of the compared condenser microphone, and its bandwidth performance was about 300[Hz]-3[kHz] at up to 3 [dB].
