This research aims to develop a DNA chip array without an indicator. We fabricated a microelectrode array through photolithography technology. Several DNA probes were immobilized on an electrode. Then, target DNA was hybridized and measured electrochemically. Cyclic-voltammograms (CVs) showed a difference between the DNA probe and mismatched DNA in an anodic peak. This indicator-free DNA chip resulted in a sequence-specific detection of the target DNA.

Flexible ECT (eddy current array) probe를 사용하여 판재 및 용접부에 존재하는 notch 결함을 MS-5800E와 OmniScan MX 장비로 검출능력을 비교하고, 주파수와 lift-off를 변수로 신호의 특성을 비교하고자 하였다. 실험 결과, 500, 1000, 1500 kHz를 사용하였을 때 notch 깊이가 증가할수록 신호의 진폭이 증가하는 것으로 나타났고, lift-off 변화에 따른 신호의 진폭은 선형적으로 감소하였다. 또한 용접부 결함은 probe와 시험체의 접촉면에 밀접한 관계가 있다. Probe와 시험체의 접촉면이 양호한 경우 검출감도가 우수하고 그렇지 않은 경우에는 검출감도가 떨어지는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, we present a pH measurement method that uses a microcantilever-array-based biosensor system. It is composed of microcantilever array, liquid cell, micro syringe pump, laser diode array, position sensitive detector, data acquisition device, and data processing software. Four microcantilevers are functionalized with pH-sensitive MHA(mercaptohexadecanoic acid) as a probe, while three microcantilevers are functionalized with HDT(hexadecane thiol) as reference. We prepare PBS(phosphate buffered saline) solutions of different pH and inject them into the liquid cell with a predefined volumetric speed at regular time intervals. The functionalized mircocantilevers in the liquid cell deflect as a self-assembled monolayer on the microcantilever binds with probe molecules in the solution. The difference in deflection between the MHA-covered probe microcantilever and the HDT-covered reference microcantilever was used to compensate for thermal drift. The deflection difference clearly increases with increasing pH in the solution. It was shown that when the pH values of the PBS solutions are high, there were large variations in the deflection of microcantilevers, whereas there were small variations for low pH value. The experimental results show that the microcantilever array functionalized with MHA and HDT can detect pH value with good repeatability.

본 논문에서는 외부에서의 탐촉자 스캐닝이 어려운 금속배관의 긴 축방향 결함이나 두께감육 등과 관련된 건전성을 감시하기 위하여 펄스와전류 신호의 피크치와 피크(발생)시간을 이용하는 배열형 탐촉자를 제안하였다. 탐촉자는 관을 따라 외삽형 코일들을 배열하고, 금속배관의 상태를 반영하는 자계는 와전류에 의해 생성되는 자계이므로 원천자계가 직접적으로 센서신호에 영향을 미치는 것을 막기 위하여 코일의 외부를 페라이트로 차폐하였다. 여자코일과 센서코일은 자동적으로 연속해서 위치를 이동하게 되므로 사람이 직접 탐촉자를 주사할 필요는 없다. 두 코일의 위치가 고정되어 있을 때 센서에서 감지되는 펄스와전류 신호에서 피크치와 피크시간을 추출하고, 모든 위치에서 추출되는 이 데이터들을 축적하여 배열형 피크치 신호와 배열형 피크시간 신호를 생성하였다. 수치 모사는 시간영역은 후향차분법으로, 공간은 유한요소법을 사용하여 수행되었다. 모사 결과는 결함의 깊이나 길이가 증가함에 따라 펄스와전류 신호에서 피크치가 증가하며 피크는 더 일찍 나타난다는 것을 보여 주었으며, 이를 활용하여 본 연구에서 제안한 배열신호들은 배열형 탐촉자 내부에서 결함의 깊이나 길이 변화뿐만 아니라 결함의 위치를 반영하는데에도 탁월함을 증명하였다.

The acoustic field analysis method is the superior calibration method for rectifying the ultrasonic probe sensitivity. This method also can be applied to evaluate the probe performance in clinical fields without numerical analysis and precise measurements. In this paper, we propose the method of acoustic field pattern analysis with probe channel division for the evaluation of diagnostic ultrasound probe characterization. In order to verify our purpose, we performed a set of experiments. We measured the acoustic-field pattern of the three inferiority probes by channel division to evaluate an acoustic field distribution and impulse response characteristics. By comparing the results of acoustic field measurement method with that of conventional method such as impulse response and live image test for linear array probes, it is demonstrated that the ultrasound field measurement method is more effective then conventional method in detection of defective elements.

A sensitive method for detection of Hepatitis A virus (HAV) by utilizing gold-DNA probe on an array was developed. Amino- modified oligodeoxynucleotides at the 5' position were arrayed on an activated glass surface to function as capture probes. Sandwich hybridization occurred among capture probes, the HAV amplicon, and gold nanoparticle-supported oligonucleotide probes. After a silver enhancement step, signals were detected by a standard flatbed scanner or just by naked eyes. As little as 100 fM of HAV amplicon could be detected on the array. Therefore, the array technology is an alternative to be applied in detection of HAV due to its low-cost and high-sensitivity.

배열 와전류 기술은 2차원적으로 나란히 정열된 다수의 와전류 코일로 구성된 탐촉자 면적에 대하여 기계적인 이동없이 전기적으로 주사할 수 있다. 단일 코일을 사용하는 와전류 기술과 비교하여 탐촉자가 한 번의 이동으로 넓은 영역을 검사할 뿐만 아니라 데이터 해석이 용이하여 검사 속도와 신뢰성을 향상시키는 장점이 있다. 이번 연구에서는 $2{\times}16$ 코일 배열의 배열 와전류 탐촉자와 순차적으로 송수신 코일을 선택하고 송수신 모드로 동작시키는 다중화기기를 개발하였다. 이 탐촉자를 이용하여 다양한 종류의 시편을 제작하여 표면검사를 수행하고, 와전류 신호 및 C-scan을 이미지 분석을 통해 송수신 모드 배열 와전류 기술의 특성에 대해 연구하였다.

For the first time, two-dimensional temporal behavior of the edge localized mode (ELM) filament is measured in the edge tokamak plasma with a multi-channel electrical probe array (MCEP). MCEP, which has 16 floating probes (4 × 4), is mounted at the far scrape-off layer (SOL) region in the KSTAR. An electron temperature and an ion flux are measured by sideband method (SBM), which can achieve two-dimensional measurements with high time resolution. Furthermore, temporal evolutions of the electron temperature and the ion flux are obtained during the ELM occurrence. In the H-mode period, short spikes from ELM bursts are observed in measured plasma parameters, and the trend is similar to that of typical Hα signal. Interestingly, when blob-like ELM filaments crash the probe, the heat flux is significantly higher in a local region of the probe array. The results show that our probe array using the SBM can measure the ELM behavior and the plasma parameters without the effect of the stray current caused by the huge device. This study can provide valuable data needed to understand the interaction between the SOL plasma and the plasma facing components (PFCs).

This paper reports the characteristics of a bidirectional antenna by using a planar array of a probe excited circular ring. The element of a bidirectional antenna is first designed to achieve the maximum directivity. The directivity can be further increased by arranging these elements to form the linear array. There are two types of linear array to be investigated i.e., on axis and off axis arrangement. On-axis linear array yields better directivity than off-axis linear array. Therefore, this orientation is further used to form the planar array. The radiation characteristics of this optimum planar array are rigorously reported. The proposed structure is very useful to extend the distance between the base station in PCT system.

Ultrasonic inspection of heavy walled cast austenitic stainless steel(CASS)welds is very difficult due to complex and coarse grained structure of CASS material. The large size of anisotropic grain strongly affects the propagation of ultrasound by severe attenuation, change in velocity, and scattering of ultrasonic energy. therefore, the signal patterns originated from flaws can be difficult to distinguish from scattered signals. To improve detection and sizing capability of ID connected defect for heavy walled CASS piping welds, the low frequency segmented TRL Pulse Echo and Phased Array probe has been developed. The experimental studies have been performed using CASS pipe mock-up block containing artificial reflectors(ID connected EDM notch). The automatic pulse echo and phase array technique is applied the detection and the length sizing of the ID connected artificial reflectors and the results for detection and sizing has been compared respectively. The goal of this study is to assess a newly developed ultrasonic probe to improve the detection ability and the sizing of the crack in coarse-grained CASS components.
