A whole body counter (WBC) is used in nuclear power plants (NPP) to identify and measure internal radioactivity of workers who is likely to ingest or inhale radionuclides. WBC has several counting geometry, i.e. the thyroid, lung, whole body and gastrointestinal tract, considered with the location where radionuclides are deposited in the body. But only whole body geometry is used to detect internal radioactivity during whole body counting at NPPs. It is overestimated internal exposure dose because this measured values are indicated as the most conservative radioactivity values among the them of others geometry. In this study, experiments to measure radioactivity depending on the counting geometry of WBC were carried out using a WBC, a phantom, and standard radiation sources in order to improve overestimated internal exposure dose. Quantitative criteria, could be selected counting geometry according to ratio of count rates of the upper and lower detectors of the WBC, are provided through statistical analysis method.

The indirect-contact ECG measurement is a newly developed method for unconstrained and nonconscious measurement in daily life. This study introduced a new method of electrode circuit design developed for reducing the 60Hz power line noise observed at the indirect-contact ECG measurement. By the introduced common-mode-driven shielding, the voltage of the electrical shield surrounding the capacitive coupling electrode is maintained at the same as the common mode voltage. Though the method cannot reduce the level of common mode voltage itself, that reduces effectively the differential mode noise converted from the common mode voltage by the difference of cloth impedance between the two capacitive coupling electrode. The experiment results using the actual indirect-contact ECG showed that the 60Hz power line noise was reduced remarkably though the reduction ratio was smaller than the expected by the theory. Especially, the reduction ratio became large for the large difference of cloth. It is expected that the introduced method is useful for reducing the power line noise under condition of poor electrical grounding.

터보팬엔진등에서 발생하는 음장의 특징은 지배적인 음향모드 구조를 가진다는 점이다. 이러한 구조를 파악 해내는 것은 소음원을 찾아내고 그 소음원의 전파를 규명하여 소음을 저감하는데 중요한 기여를 할 수 있다. 음향모드의 검출을 위해서 많은 연구가 이루어져 왔으며 센서의 이용방식에 따라 원음장에서의 측정법, 회전형 갈퀴 (rotating rake)를 이용한 측정법, 덕트내 벽면에 센서를 분포시키는 측정법으로 나눌 수 있다. 이중 벽면에 센서를 위치시키는 방법은 다른 방법에 비해 빠르게 측정결과를 얻을 수 있으며 측정장치가 간단하다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 이 방법의 단점으로 여겨져 왔던 많은 수의 센서를 줄이는 새로운 센서 배치에 대해 기술하였으며 측정하고자 하는 주파수에 존재하는 전체 모드의 개수와 비교하여 최소한의 센서 개수를 설명하였다.

Mixed-mode (MM) designs in which data are collected by different modes in one design have become increasingly popular. An MM data collection has several advantages such as reductions of coverage error, non-response and cost. However, MM designs may introduce mode effects that are confounded by selection effects and measurement effects, which can make MM data quality poor. In order to investigate mode effects, SRI implemented a concurrent mixed-mode experiment in 2014 where respondents could choose between a self-administrated Web survey and a self-administrated paper survey. This paper separately estimates selection effects and measurement effects. We found that measurement effects on some items are large.

As analysis of the forced dynamic response and vibrational mode for the cantilevered beam is described. Experimental results are compared with the natural frequencies and vibrational modes for the cantilevered beam using the theory of Bernoulli-Euler and finite element method. We have found 1st and 2nd resonance frequency of the cantilevered beam by means of the various external frequencies, $1{\sim}70Hz$, using magnetic transducer. And we have studied the vibrational displacement at obtained resonance frequency of the cantilevered beam. The experimental results for the nodes of cantilevered beam were 0 in 1st mode and 0,0.786 in 2nd mode. close agreement between the theoretically predicted results and experimental result was obtained for the vibrational mode.

The reults of the interlaboratory measurement comparison of the multimode and single mode fiber papameters are reported. 7 multi-mode fiber spools and 4 single mode spools are used and 5 independent domestic organizations (ETRI & 4 optical fiber manufacturing companies) are participated in the comparison study. Our results are compared with those of the comparison studies conducted in the foreign countries.

본 연구에서는 지진하중을 받는 구조물의 MR감쇠기를 이용한 모드제어를 구현하고자 한다. 모드제어는 저차의 모드만을 이용하여 구조물의 진동을 제어한다. 따라서 토목구조물과 같은 자유도가 많은 대형구조물의 제어에 적합하며, 제어기의 설계 역시 다른 제어이론에 비해 간편하다. 모드제어에 대한 앞선 연구들이 많이 있음에도 불구하고, 반능동제어, 특히 MR감쇠기에 대한 모드제어의 성능에 대한 연구가 없었다. 본 연구에서는 MR댐퍼에 대한 효율성을 검토하기 위해서, 모드제어이론을 지진하중을 받는 구조물에 구현하였다. 센서로부터 측정된 응답을 이용하여 모드응답을 예측하기 위해 칼만필터를 구현하였으며, Spillover problem을 해결하기 위해 low-pass filter가 적용되었다. 수치예제를 통해 저차의 모드만을 제어함으로써, 구조물의 거동이 효과적으로 줄어드는 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 줄어드는 정도는 제어기의 가중치행렬과 칼만필터에 사용되는 센서에 의해 측정된 응답에 따라 다르다

Most of receiving rooms for the measurement of floor impact sound have rectangular shapes with couple of meters of dimension, with reflective finishing, no furniture, no curtains. Modal overlaps in those condition are the major reason for the low reproducibility, and as a matter of course, the low credibility. It is the major purpose of this study that searching for a better measurement method which mitigate the effect of modal overlap on measurement. Two ways of methods are tested. One is the way described in ISO standards which enables controlling the room modes of receiving rooms, the other is the way which enables to get more precise spatial averages in receiving rooms with room modes. It is not easy maintaining the reverberation time of low frequency bands in the range between 1s and 2s, though it is proven to be effective controlling the room modes with base traps. Space-time average SPL's through combinations of rotating microphones are easy to measure, and have good consistencies with average SPL of entire receiving room.

The performance of satellite range measurement using tone method was analyzed in the presence of satellite link AWGN. The phase errors in range measurement are generated by AWGN of satellite up- and down-link and the degradations of satellite range measurement are dependent on the transmission mode and loop bandwidth of satellite measurement system. The analyzed effects for satellite measurement in presence of satellite link noise were also analyzed with the measured satellite range data via satellite range measurement system operating in satellite link AWGN. In RAU mode, the satellite range differences of 14.4 to 40.6 m were occurred according to the loop bandwidth of satellite range measurement system and the degradation of 0.3 dB compared with theoretical value was generated under condition of the signal-to-noise ratio of 43 dB. In RAU and TM mode, the performances of range measurement were approximately agreed to the that of RAU mode. In order to get the equal performance characteristics with RAU mode, the signal-to-noise ratio of satellite link for RAU and TM mode should be increased by signal power of 2.3 dB, which is a power loss due to transmission of telemetry signal.

In this paper, we proposed a mixed-mode s-parameter measurement system for measuring the performance of twisted pairs. A twisted pair is a balanced type component, its characteristics can not be directly measured using network analyzer, which is generally implemented as a unbalanced type. It is possible to convert between balanced signal and unbalanced signal by using a balun but it restricts the frequency range of the measurement system. The proposed system measures the performance of twisted pairs by measuring mixed-mode s-parameters using a 4-port vector network analyzer and a designed fixture, without using a balun. We measured the performance of a commercial Ethernet cable and compared with the results which measured by using baluns. The results showed that the proposed system is capable of measuring the performance of twisted pairs.
