A low energy large aperture(LELA) pulsed electron beam generator of a cold cathode type has been developed for environmental applications, for example, waste water cleaning, flue gas cleaning, and pasteurization etc. The operational principle is based on the emission of secondary electrons from cold cathode when ions in the plasma hit the cathode, which are accelerated toward exit window by the gradient of an electric potential. We have fabricated the LELA electron beam generator with the peak energy of 200keV and beam diameter of 200mm and obtained the large aperture electron beam in air. The electron beam current density has been investigated as a function of glow discharge current, accelerating voltage and radial distribution in front of the exit window foil. The plasma density and electron temperature have been measured in order to confirm the relation with the electron beam current density. We are going to upgrade the LELA electron beam generator in the electron energy, electron beam current and stability of operation for various applications.

The intermediate range of temperatures($100{\sim}300^{\circ}C$) which can be achieved with CPCs(Compound Parabolic Concentrators) without tracking device provides both economic and thermal advantages for solar collector design. The present paper summarizes critical design considerations for CPC with cylindrical absorber and its optical performance using ray tracing program. Concentration ratios vary as acceptance half angle, ratio of reflector height to aperture width and ratio of reflector area to aperture area. This effects showed that the concentration ratio was increased as acceptance angle but optimum ratio of reflector height to aperture width existed at critical value. As a result of ray tracing, solar ray losses was maximized at acceptance half angle and this problem was solved by increasing absorber tube diameter. The concentrating flux distribution on the absorber surface was uniform but peak flux existed.

The study on the flow characteristics and analysis of groundwater in discontinuous rock mass is very important, since the water inflow into the underground opening during excavation induces serious stability and environmental problems. To investigate the flow through single rock joint, the effect of various aperture distribution on the groundwater flow has been analyzed. Observed through the analysis is the "channel flow", the phenomenon that the flow is dominant along the path of large aperture for given joint. The equivalent hydraulic conductivity is estimated and verified through the application of the joint network analysis for 100 joint maps generated statistically. Both the analytic aproach based on isotropic continuum premise and the joint network analysis are tested and compared analyzing the gorundwater inflow for underground openings of different sizes and varying joint density. The joint network analysis is considered better to reflect the geometric properties of joint distribution in analyzing the groundwater flow.ater flow.

Integrating spheres play a central role in the radiometric calibration of remote sensors. With the development of the wide field of view (FOV) remote sensors, aperture diameters of remote sensors are becoming larger and larger. To satisfy the radiometric calibration requirements of full FOV and full aperture, an 8000mm diameter large aperture integrating sphere uniform source with a variable exit port was designed and manufactured. This integrating sphere will be used for pre-launch test and radiometric calibration of remote satellites. In this paper, optical theories were used to design the output spectral radiance. The LightTools software based on ray-tracing simulation method was used to determine the best combination and distribution of inner light sources. A spectral experiment was made to verify the spectral radiance design. To reduce the influence of longtime power-on, a new characteristic measurement method was developed to obtain the radiation characteristic of the integrating sphere, which could greatly improve the measuring efficiency. This method could also be applied to measure other large aperture uniform sources. The obtained results indicate that the spatial uniformity is 98.35%, and the angular uniformity at center position is 98.78%.

To overcome with large size noise source distribution network design difficulty in interferometric radiometer system, especially for sub-Y-type array, a new on-board calibration technique using noise re-radiation is proposed in this paper. The suggested calibration technique is using noise re-radiation effect of center antenna after noise source injection from matched load. This approach is especially proper to sub-Y-type array interferometric synthetic aperture radiometer in mm-wave frequency band. Compared with noise injection network of a conventional synthetic aperture radiometer, the system mass, volume, and hardware complexity is reduced and cost-effective. Only one internal noise source, matched load, is used for injection using noise re-radiation technique a small set of sub-Y receiver channels is calibrated. Detailed calibration scenario is discussed and simulation results about noise re­radiation effect are presented.

This paper deals with accurate image reconstruction of gamma camera using a coded-aperture mask based on pixel-type CsI(Tl) scintillator coupled with silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) array. Coded-aperture imaging (CAI) system typically has a smaller effective viewing angle than Compton camera. Thus, if the position of the gamma source to be searched is out of the fully-coded field-of-view (FCFOV) region of the CAI system, artifacts can be generated when the image is reconstructed by using the conventional cross-correlation (CC) method. In this work, we propose an effective method for more accurate reconstruction in CAI considering the source distribution of partially-coded field-of-view (PCFOV) in the reconstruction in attempt to overcome this drawback. We employed an iterative algorithm based on compressed-sensing (CS) and compared the reconstruction quality with that of the CC algorithm. Both algorithms were implemented and performed a systematic Monte Carlo simulation to demonstrate the possiblilty of the proposed method. The reconstructed image qualities were quantitatively evaluated in sense of the root mean square error (RMSE) and the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR). Our simulation results indicate that the proposed method provides more accurate location information of the simulated gamma source than the CC-based method.

슬라이스 두께(slice thickness)와 선속시준(beam collimation, BC)의 변화에 따른 CT gantry aperture 내의 선량 분포와 영상의 질을 알아보고자 하였다. CT장치로는 64-slice MDCT 스캐너(Brilliance 64, Philips, Cleveland, USA)를 사용하였다. 피사체가 없는 경우(air scan)의 선량측정을 위해 CT용 전리함을 gantry aperture내의 회전중심점(isocenter)과 12시, 3시, 6시, 9시 방향에서 회전중심점으로부터 5 cm 간격으로 30 cm까지 BC를 변화시키면서 각각 측정 하였다. 또한 5개의 구멍(팬텀의 중심과 12시, 3시, 6시, 9시 방향)으로 구성된 CT head and body dose phantom을 gantry aperture 내에 위치시키고 각 지점에서 선량을 측정하였다. Gantry aperture 내 피사체의 위치변화에 대한 영상의 노이즈를 비교하기 위해서 AAPM CT용 팬텀의 물통을 회전중심점과 12시 방향으로 5 cm와 10 cm 이동시킨 후 BC를 변화시키면서 스캔한 후 팬텀의 중심과 12시, 3시, 6시, 9시 방향의 지점에서 노이즈를 측정하였다. 이 중에서 몇 군데의 위치는 영상 영역에서 벗어나서 측정 할 수가 없었다. 이때 노이즈 측정을 위해서 영상재구성의 슬라이스 두께는 5 mm로 하였다. 측정한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다: 첫째, CTDIw는 회전중심점으로부터 멀어질수록, BC가 넓어질수록 감소하였다. 둘째, BC의 넓이가 비슷한 경우의 CTDIw는 거의 유사한 값을 보였다. 즉, CTDIw는 검출기 배열의 수나 화소의 크기 보다는 전체적인 BC의 넓이에 의존하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 셋째, air scan과 phantom scan 경우 모두에서 CTDIw는 BC가 증가될수록 감소하였다. 그러나 air scan의 경우보다 head phantom scan 시 약 30%, body phantom scan 시 약 52% 정도 CTDIw의 값이 감소하였다. 넷째, BC와 팬텀의 위치 변화에 따른 노이즈 값은 $2{\times}0.5\;mm$의 BC을 제외하고는 head phantom scan한 경우 3.9~5.9, body phantom scan한 경우 5.3~7.4로 나타나, BC와 팬텀의 위치변화에 따라서 큰 차이가 없었다. 따라서 피사체의 위치가 gantry aperture 내 SFOV(scan field of view)에 포함될 경우 회전중심점에 정확하게 위치시키지 않아도 영상의 질에는 많은 영향을 미치지 않는다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The study is concerned with the thermo-viscoplastic finite element analysis of axisymmetric forward hot extrusion through square dies. The problem is treated as a nonsteady state problem because the distribution of temperature and material properties are continuously changing with the punch travel. In square die extrusion, difficulties arise from the severe distortion and die interference of elements at the aperture rim of the die even with a small punch travel. And finite element computation is impossible without intermittent remeshing. Accordingly, an automatic remeshing technique is proposed by employing specially designed mesh structure near the aperture rim. The analysis of temperature distribution includes heat conduction through material interfaces, heat convection and radiation to the atmosphere and is carried out by decoupling the heat analysis from the analysis of the deformation. The extrusion load and the distributions of strain rate and temperature are computed for the given cases rendering reasonable results. Computed grid distortions are found to be in good agreement with the experimental results. It has been thus shown that the proposed method of analysis can be effectively applied to the axisymmetric hot extrusion through square dies.
