Integrated-optic symmetric/asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometers at $1.3{\mu}m$ wavelength were studied as sensing part for electric-field measurement system. The devices were simulated based on the BPM software and fabricated utilizing Ti-diffused $LiNbO_3$ channel optical waveguides and lumped-type electrodes. A half-wave voltage of $V_{\pi}$=6.6V and modulation depth of 100% and 75% for a symmetric structure were measured for 200Hz and 1kHz electrical signal bandwidth, respectively. By the way, almost half-maximum power transmission was observed for asymmetric interferometers with ${\pi}$/2 intrinsic phase difference. Expected experimental measurements were observed for 1kHz electrical signal bandwidth.

This paper analyzes the detection probability of FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) radar based on Doppler frequency and analog-digital converter bit and designs and implements signal processing part of FMCW radar. For performance evaluation, the FMCW radar system consists of a transmitted part and a received part and uses AWGN channel. The system model is verified through analysis and simulation. Frequency offset occurs in the received part caused by the mismatching between the received signal and the reference signal. In case of Doppler frequency less than about 38KHz, performance degradation of detection does not occur in FMCW radar with 75cm resolution The analog-digital converter needs at least 6 bit in order not to degrade the detection probability. And, we design and implement digital signal processing part based on DDS chip of digital transmitted signal generator for FMCW radar.

The purpose of the direct cortical and subcortical stimulation technique is to prevent false positives caused by transcranial electrical motor evoked potentials (TceMEP) in surgery on patients with brain tumors that have occurred around the motor cortex and to preserve the correct mapping of motor areas during surgery and the corticospinal tract. In addition, it reduces the trial and error that occurs during the intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (INM) process and minimizes the test time, so that accurate information is communicated to the surgeon with quick feedback on the test results. The most important factors of this technique are, first, examination at a stimulus threshold of a certain intensity, and second, maintaining anesthesia depth at an appropriate level to prevent false positives from occurring during surgery. The third is the installation of a multi-level channel recording electrode on the opposite side of the area of operation to measure the TceMEP waveform and the response to direct cortical and subcortical stimulation in as many muscles as possible. If these conditions are maintained, it is possible to predict causes that may occur in other factors, not false positives, from the INM test.

최근 국내·외에서는 재래식 소류사량 채집기를 이용한 직접계측방법의 한계를 보완하기 위해 음향센서(하이드로폰)를 활용하여 소류사가 이동할 때 발생하는 충돌음 신호로부터 소류사량을 간접적으로 추정하는 방법이 개발 검토되고 있다. 이러한 방법은 하이드로폰에 계측된 음향신호의 특성 중 음향 펄스 수와 소류사량의 상관성을 해명하는 연구가 주를 이루고 있다. 그러나 기존의 펄스 카운트 알고리즘은 원시신호에 대한 불충분한 노이즈 필터링 작업과 음향특성 중 진폭만을 고려하여 임계치를 설정하였기 때문에 운송되는 소류사량이 많을 경우 신호 파형의 중첩으로 인한 펄스 수의 과소평가, 감지 가능한 상한 입자 크기가 제한되는 등의 결점을 가지고 있다. 또한 대다수의 연구가 소류사량의 총량과 시계열적인 변화를 추정하는데 주안점을 두고 있어 소류사량의 입도분포를 추정하기 위한 연구사례는 매우 부족한 실정에 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 위와 같은 한계를 극복하기 위해 다양한 입경과 유속 조건을 고려한 단독입자 공급 실험을 통해 하이드로폰에서 계측되는 소류사 입경별 충돌음의 진폭과 특정 주파수대역을 기준으로 음향특성치를 효과적으로 필터링 할 수 있는 개선된 Band-Passs Method 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법의 검증을 위해 기존의 음향신호 필터링 방법(증폭 채널 방법, 임계치 설정 방법)과 비교·분석을 수행한 결과 제안한 방법이 기존의 필터링 방법보다 높은 소류사량 추정률을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 아울러 단일입경 연속공급 실험을 수행하여 입경별 소류사량 추정관계식을 산출하고 혼합입경의 입도분포 추정 가능성을 확인하였다. 연구수행의 최종단계로 혼합입경 소류사량 추정이 가능한 입경별 통합 소류사량 추정 알고리즘을 개발하고 실측 소류사량과의 비교·분석을 통해 알고리즘의 소류사량 추정 정밀도를 검증하였다.

Next future, The bio technology will be a rapidly developing. This paper is the scattering beam measurement of the red blood cell (RBC) and the fabrication of the micro cell biochip using the bio micro electro mechanical system (Bio-MEMS) process technology. The Major process method of Bio-MEMS technology was used the buffered oxide etchant (BOE), electro chemical discharge (ECD) and ultraviolet sensitive adhesives (UVSA). All experiments were the 10 times according to the process conditions. The experiment and research are required the ultraviolet expose, the micro fluid current, the cell control and the measurement of the output voltage Vpp (peak to peak) waveform by scattering angles. The transmitting and receiving of the laser beam was used the single mode optical fiber. The principles of the optical properties are as follows. The red blood cells were injected into the micro channel. The single mode optical fiber was inserting in the guide channel. The He-Ne laser beam was focusing in the single mode optical fiber. The transmission He-Ne laser beam is irradiating to the red blood cells. The manufactured guide channel consists of the four inputs and the four outputs. The red blood cell was allowed with the cylinder pump. The output voltage Vpp waveform of the scattering beam was measured with a photo detector. The receiving angle of the output optical fiber is $0^{\circ}$, $5^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$. The magnitude of the output voltage Vpp waveform was measured in the decrease according to increase of the reception angles. The difference of the output voltage Vpp waveform is due differences of the light transmittance of the red blood cells.

Respiration motion causes movement of internal structures in the thorax and abdomen, making accurate delivery of radiation therapy to tumors in those areas a challenge. Accounting for such motion during treatment, therefore, has the potential to reduce margins drawn around the clinical target volume (CTV), resulting in a lower dose to normal tissues (e.g., lung and liver) and thus a lower risk of treatment induced complications. Among the techniques that explicitly account for intrafraction motion are breath-hold, respiration gating, and 4D or tumor-tracking techniques. Respiration gating methods periodically turn the beam on when the patient's respiration signal is in a certain part of the respiratory cycle (generally end-inhale or end-exhale). These techniques require acquisition of some form of respiration motion signal (infrared reflective markers, spirometry, strain gauge, thermistor, video tracking of chest outlines and fluoroscopic tracking of implanted markers are some of the techniques employed to date), which is assumed to be correlated with internal anatomy motion. In preliminary study for the respiratory gating radiation therapy, we performed to measurement of this respiration motion signal. In order to measure the respiratory motion signals of patient, respiration measurement system (RMS) was composed with three sensor (spirometer, thermistor, and belt transducer), 4 channel data acquisition system and mobile computer. For two patients, we performed to evaluation of respiratory cycle and shape with RMS. We observed under this system that respiratory cycle is generally periodic but asymmetric, with the majority of time spent. As expected, RMS traced patient's respiration each other well and be easily handled for application.

In this study, experiments on the improvement of the emotion classification, analysis and accuracy of EEG data were proceeded, which applied DEAP (a Database for Emotion Analysis using Physiological signals) dataset. In the experiment, total 32 of EEG channel data measured from 32 of subjects were applied. In pre-processing step, 256Hz sampling tasks of the EEG data were conducted, each wave range of the frequency (Hz); Theta, Slow-alpha, Alpha, Beta and Gamma were then extracted by using Finite Impulse Response Filter. After the extracted data were classified through Time-frequency transform, the data were purified through Independent Component Analysis to delete artifacts. The purified data were converted into CSV file format in order to conduct experiments of Machine learning algorithm and Arousal-Valence plane was used in the criteria of the emotion classification. The emotions were categorized into three-sections; 'Positive', 'Negative' and 'Neutral' meaning the tranquil (neutral) emotional condition. Data of 'Neutral' condition were classified by using Cz(Central zero) channel configured as Reference channel. To enhance the accuracy ratio, the experiment was performed by applying the attributes selected by ASC(Attribute Selected Classifier). In "Arousal" sector, the accuracy of this study's experiments was higher at "32.48%" than Koelstra's results. And the result of ASC showed higher accuracy at "8.13%" compare to the Liu's results in "Valence". In the experiment of Random Forest Classifier adapting ASC to improve accuracy, the higher accuracy rate at "2.68%" was confirmed than Total mean as the criterion compare to the existing researches.

The analysis of wide-angle seismic reflection and refraction data plays an important role in lithospheric-scale crustal structure study. However, it is extremely difficult to develop an appropriate velocity structure model directly from the observed data, and we have to improve the structure model step by step, because the crustal structure analysis is an intrinsically non-linear problem. There are several subjective processes in wide-angle crustal structure modelling, such as phase identification and trial-and-error forward modelling. Because these subjective processes in wide-angle data analysis reduce the uniqueness and credibility of the resultant models, it is important to reduce subjectivity in the analysis procedure. From this point of view, we describe two software tools, PASTEUP and MODELING, to be used for developing crustal structure models. PASTEUP is an interactive application that facilitates the plotting of record sections, analysis of wide-angle seismic data, and picking of phases. PASTEUP is equipped with various filters and analysis functions to enhance signal-to-noise ratio and to help phase identification. MODELING is an interactive application for editing velocity models, and ray-tracing. Synthetic traveltimes computed by the MODELING application can be directly compared with the observed waveforms in the PASTEUP application. This reduces subjectivity in crustal structure modelling because traveltime picking, which is one of the most subjective process in the crustal structure analysis, is not required. MODELING can convert an editable layered structure model into two-way traveltimes which can be compared with time-sections of Multi Channel Seismic (MCS) reflection data. Direct comparison between the structure model of wide-angle data with the reflection data will give the model more credibility. In addition, both PASTEUP and MODELING are efficient tools for handling a large dataset. These software tools help us develop more plausible lithospheric-scale structure models using wide-angle seismic data.
