In this paper, we investigate the patient fall prevention system to prevent the patient from falling out of the bed unintentionally on the bed of the bed. Patients stay in bed for many hours of hospitalization. During the hospitalization period, patients have low controllability of the body, as compared with normal persons, and fall due to intentional movements, resulting in a fall of the patient, can be a fatal threat to the patient. Therefore, an efficient fall prevention system is required. In this paper, the distance map to the patient is generated by the distance measuring sensor on the bed of the patient, and the risk is determined by estimating the position of the patient based on the distance map. As a result, when the distance map of the dangerous area is 150 mm or more, it is determined to be dangerous, and good results are obtained.

We measured the heat load to a reactor vessel with and without the in-vessel debris bed under an IVR-ERVC condition. Mass transfer methodology was adopted based on heat and mass transfer analogy to achieve high Ra'_H of order ~10¹⁵ with compact test rigs. We postulated the in-vessel debris bed has a flat top and particulate debris was simulated as an identical diameter spheres. We conducted experiments varying the height of the debris bed and the results showed that Nusselt numbers decreased in both uppermost and curved surfaces with the increasing bed height. Once the debris bed is formed, it acts as an obstacle to the natural convective flow, which reduces the buoyancy. The reduction of driving force results in the impaired heat transfer in both upward and downward heat transfers.

핵의학은 방사성 동위원소 추적자를 인체에 투여하여 질병의 형태학적 정보와 생물학적 기능 정보를 얻고 평가한 Amyloid PET Tracer 개발로 베타아밀로이드 신경반 확인을 통해서 알츠하이머 진단의 정확도를 높일 수 있다. 그러나 20분이라는 긴 영상획득 시간은 환자에게 힘든 시간 일 수 있다. PET/CT 검사는 환자의 움직임에 민감하며, 검사 결과에도 일부분 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 체내 방사성 의약품의 분포를 시간에 따른 list mode acquisition 방법을 통해 영상의 정량적 평가에 영향을 미치지 않으면서 적절한 영상획득 시간 연구하였다. list mode는 기존의 frame mode에 비해 시간에 대한 정보가 포함되어 연구자들이 원하는 시간에 대한 영상을 별도로 reconstruction 할 수 있어 data 분석에 용이하다. 연구 방법은 5 min frame/bed, 10 min frame/bed, 15 min frame/bed, 20 min frame/bed 로 리스트 모드를 이용하여 시간별 재구성 영상을 획득하여 SNR(signal to noise ratio) 과 LPR(lesion-to-pons uptake ratio)의 차이와 판독의 차이를 비교 분석하여 적정한 영상획득시간을 알아보고자 하였다. 정량적 분석 결과 list mode로 측정 시 정량적 평가 결과, 영상획득 시간이 증가함에 따라 관심 영역 6개에서 SUVmean 값은 감소하였으나 5 min/bed 영상에서 가장 많은 차이를 보였고 10 min/bed 그리고 15 min/bed 순으로 SUVmean 값의 차이가 감소하였다. 따라서 15 min/bed 에서의 SUVmean 값은 영상의 평가에 영향을 끼치지 않을 만큼의 차이가 없다는 결과값이 나왔다. LPR 값의 차이는 없었다. 정성적 분석 결과, PET 영상획득시간에 따른 판독 소견의 변화는 없었으며 시간에 따른 영상 재구성의 정성적 분석 점수의 유의한 차이가 없었다. 연구 결과 F-18 fluteme tamol PET/CT 검사 시 15 min/bed 과 20 min/bed 영상이 유의한 차이가 없으므로 환자의 상태에 따라 LIST MODE를 통해 선택적으로 15 min/bed 을 사용하여 영상획득 시간을 줄이는 것이 임상적으로 유용하다고 할 수 있다.

In the present paper, the behavior of bubbles in a fluidized bed has been investigated experimentally. The bubble size, distribution of bubble, bubble rising velocity and pressure fluctuation in the fluidized bed are obtained at different air velocity. The results are discussed and compared study the effect of air velocity on the behavior of a bubbles in fluidized bed.

For the nitrate removal in recirculating aquaculture system, a denitrifying bacterium, Pseudomonas fluorescens, was isolated from municipal sewage and the cells were immobilized in modified-polyvinly alchol (PVA) gel beads. The immobilized cells in both the fixed-and fluidized-bed reactors showed 98% of denitrification efficiency with 6hr HRT, and the removal efficiency of total organic carbon (TOC) was above 90%. Form scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation, it was known that biofilm formed in fixed-bed reactor was thicker than that formed in fluidized-bed reactor as operation time passed.

This study was performed to estimate the characteristics of the organic wastewater treatment and bed porosity with the circulation velocity in the anaerobic fluidized bed biofilm reactor. The results were as follows; 1. With Increasing circulation velocity the fluidized bed expanded smooth and with increasing initial particle volume the fluidized bed was increased. 2. With increasing circulation velocity the gasproduction was increased, but at 1.Scnt/sec of circulation velocity AFBBR showed the highest value of methane production rate per removed COD. Therefore, for the purpose of economical operation in AFBBR, 1.5cm/sec of circulation velocity was optimum 3. The microorganisms were colonized in the crevice of the media. 4. On fluidization, COD, VA,55 profiles with the reactor height were not showed. In conclusion, AFBBR suit the organic wastewater treatment's purpose, and at 1.5cm/sec of circulation velocity the system is economical in an energy Point of view.

Adsorptive breakthrough modelling is essential for design of a sorption packed bed. In this work, breakthrough modelling of the furfural uptake in bagasse fly ash (BFA) packed bed has been performed. Effect of various parameters like bed height (Z = 15-60 cm), flow rate (Q = 0.02-0.04 L/min) and initial furfural concentration (C_o = 50-200 mg/L) on the breakthrough curve of furfural sorption in a BFA packed bed have been studied. Enhanced breakthrough performance was observed for the higher value of Z, and lower values of C_o and Q. For C_o = 100 mg/L, packed bed operated at Q = 0.03 L/min and Z = 60 cm was found to have lowest adsorbent utilization rate of 5.61 g/L with highest breakthrough volume of 14.67 L. Bed depth service time and Thomas models well represented the experimental data points under all experimental conditions. It can be concluded that BFA can be utilized efficiently in continuous system for the removal of furfural. Overall, more than 99% of furfural was adsorbed in BFA packed bed at experimental conditions.

A numerical investigation of the fuel concentration field in a fluidized bed has been carried out for the scale-up of a fluidized bed combustor (FBC). A two-dimensional transient model is developed using the two-phase fluidization, a simple chemical reaction, and lateral solid mixing theories. The uniformity of fuel concentration distributions is controlled by the location and the number of fuel feeders, fluidizing velocities and the bed-heights. While larger bubbles owing to greater fluidizing velocities enhance the fuel-dispersion in the bed, they have adverse effects on fuel combustion and thus result in the increase of fuel concentration, since a greater bubble means a larger bypass which reduces gas-exchange rates between bubble and emulsion phases. Average or maximum values of the bed fuel concentration are utilized as criteria for the scale-up from a pilot/lab-scale to a commercial-size bed.
