  • 본 논문은 밀리미터파 라디오미터를 이용한 의료응용의 한 분야인 인체 내부의 밝기온도 측정에 관한 연구이다. 밀리미터파 대역 중에서 Ka - band의 주파수 영역에서 동작하는 렌즈, 직접 검출 수신기, 캘리브레이션 소스 등을 설계 제작하여 라디오미터 시스템을 구성하였다. 밀리미터파 렌즈 초점에 수신안테나를 스캔하는 방식을 통하여 미약한 신호를 수신하였으며, 렌즈 수차를 감소시키기 위해 광선 추적 방법을 사용하여 비구면 렌즈를 설계 하였다. 직접 검출 수신기는 Dicke 타입 수신기 형태로 설계되었으며, 제작된 수신기의 잡음지수는 3.3 dB, 온도감도는 0.1 K으로 측정되었다. 라디오미터의 수신기 교정은 밀리미터파 대역에서 사용가능한 새로운 형태의 블랙바디(Black body)를 제작하여 물체의 등가 잡음온도와 출력전압의 관계를 도출하였다. 제작된 시스템을 이용하여 1.7 m 거리에서 인체의 상반신을 측정하여 약 $38^{\circ}$[C]의 밝기온도를 측정하였다. 적외선 영상과 라디오미터 영상의 비교를 통해 상반신의 밝기온도 영상을 통하여 밀리미터파 라디오미터의 의료응용 가능성을 제시하였다.

  • Measurement of the absolute displacement of the moving machinery components in three-dimensions (3D) is of critical functional importance. This paper describes the system that measures motion associated with six degrees-of-freedom in 3D. Wire-sensors are used to estimate the positions of an object in a 3D Cartesian coordinate system, based on the values of their initial position and the measured values. For inducing the transfer function, which represents the motion of an object, the number of the minimum measurement points is determined. Also, the experimental measuring device is configured to visualize the behavior of a rectangular object in real-time. The software for measuring the six types of motions is directly programmed using a commercial software.

  • A kart is a vehicle without the suspension system and the differential gear. The kart frame as an elastic body plays the role of a spring. By the cornering of a kart, rolling, pitching and twisting motions are induced in the kart frame. Also the slip or noncontact of the wheel and a permanent deformation of the kart frame can be induced. In order to examine closely this phenomenon, measurement on height-displacements with various sensors and tracking system and analysis on the kart frame twisting characteristics with the rolling and pitching angle are needed. According to the measurement result, while driving in a curve at high speed the kart frame is quite twisted. Analysis on the measurement results shows that a kart used primarily in high speed requires a frame with low torsional stiffness and a frame material with high tensile strength and large elongation.

  • Recently, the next-generation advanced flow visualization techniques such as holographic PIV, dynamic PIV, echo-PIV, micro/nano-PIV, and X-ray PIV have been introduced. These advanced measurement techniques have a big potential as the core technology for analyzing outmost thermo-fluid flows in future. These would be indispensable in solving complicated thermo-fluid flow problems not only in the industrial fields such as automotive, space, electronics, aero- and hydro-dynamics, steel, and information engineering, but also in the research fields of medical science, bio-medical engineering, environmental and energy engineering etc. Especially, NT (Nano Technology) and BT (Bio Technology) strongly demand these advanced measurement techniques, because it is impossible for conventional measurement methods to observe most complicated nano- and bio-fluidic phenomena. In this presentation, the basic principle of these high-tech flow visualization techniques and their practical applications which cannot be resolved by conventional methods, such as blood flows in a micro-tube, in vivo analysis of micro-circulation, and flow around a living body will be introduced as a blue ocean strategy.

  • 이중에너지 방사선 흡수계측법(Dual-energy X-ray Apsorptiometry, DXA)은 일반적으로 골밀도를 통한 골다공증 평가 및 치료목적으로 이용되어 왔으며 최근 비만에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 체지방검사 처방이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 기존의 체지방 측정은 전신을 검사해야만 평가가 가능했지만 근래 DXA장비의 소프트웨어가 향상 되면서 요추와 대퇴부의 측정만으로도 전신체지방률을 추측 할 수 있게 되었다. 전신측정이 아닌 부분측정 값이 다른 검사방법으로 산출된 값과 비교하여 타당성을 갖는지 생체전기저항측정법(Bioelectrical Impedence Analysis, BIA)과 체질량 지수(Body Mass Index, BMI)와의 상관도 분석을 통해 알아보고자 한다. 2010년 3월부터 8월까지 본원 건강검진센터에 내원한 수검자 중 40세 이상의 여성 90명을 대상으로 DXA와 BIA를 통해 체지방률을 측정하였다. BMI는 신체 계측기를 통해 측정된 신장과 체중을 수검자 정보에 기입하여 자동으로 산출되는 값을 활용하였다. 또한 체중에 따른 차이가 있는지 알아보기 위해 BMI를 기준으로 저체중, 정상, 비만의 세 그룹으로 분류하여 각 그룹에서 BMI와 BIA, DXA 간의 상관도를 분석하였다. 저체중과 정상, 비만으로 나눈 세 그룹에서의 DXA와 BIA의 비교는 모든 그룹에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그룹으로 나누지 않은 상태에서의 상관분석결과 DXA로 측정된 체지방률은 BMI와 비교해 통계적으로 유의한 높은 상관관계를 나타냈으며(r=0.908, p<0.01) BIA와의 비교에서도 통계적으로 유의한 높은 상관관계를 보였다(r=0.927, p<0.01). 부분 골밀도 측정으로부터 추정된 전신체지방률이 BIA 그리고 BMI와 비교해 뛰어난 상관관계를 보여 정보의 신뢰도가 높다는 것을 확인하였다. 아직 추정된 전신체지방률에 관한 명확한 기준이 없어 골밀도측정만으로 체지방평가를 하기는 어렵다. 그러나 골밀도검사를 통해 골다공증의 진단은 물론 체지방에 관한 정보까지 얻을 수 있다는 점에서 매우 효율적이며 추후 전신골밀도검사로 측정된 체지방률과의 비교연구를 통해 더 객관적이고 임상적으로 유용한 정보 제공이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

  • In a flexible multi-body dynamic system the typical topological optimization method for structures cannot be directly applied, as the stiffness varies with position. In this paper, the topological optimization of the flexible multi-body dynamic system is converted into structural optimization using the equivalent static load method. First, the actual boundary conditions of the control system and the approximate stiffness curve of the mechanism are obtained from a flexible multi-body dynamical simulation. Second, the finite element models are built using the absolute nodal coordination for different positions according to the stiffness curve. For efficiency, the static reanalysis method is utilized to solve these finite element equilibrium equations. Specifically, the finite element equilibrium equations of key points in the stiffness curve are fully solved as the initial solution, and the following equilibrium equations are solved using a reanalysis method with an error controlled epsilon algorithm. In order to identify the efficiency of the elements, a non-dimensional measurement is introduced. Finally, an improved evolutional structural optimization (ESO) method is used to solve the optimization problem. The presented method is applied to the optimal design of a die bonder. The numerical results show that the presented method is practical and efficient when optimizing the design of the mechanism.

  • Simultaneous measurement technique for temperature and velocity fields near a heated solid body has been constructed. The measurement system consists of a 3-late CCD color camera, a color image grabber, a 1ighting system, a host computer and a software for the whole quantification process. Thermo Chromic Liquid Crystals (TCLC) was used as temperature sensors. A neural network was used to get a calibration curve between the temperature and the color change of the TCLC in order to enhance the dynamic range of temperature measurement. The velocity field measurement was attained by the use of the fray-level images taken for the flow field, and by introducing the cross-correlation technique. The temperature and the velocity fields of the forced and the natural convective flows neat the surface of a cartridge heater were measured simultaneously with the constructed measurement system.

  • The research analyzs characteristics of body types for the Chineses women based on the different life style and to compare the differences of body type with Korean women. The measurement had took in Beijing and Seoul in 1999. As a result of comparing Chinese and Korean women'body measurements, it was found that Chinese women are shorter and obser than Korean women. Besides, chinese arms and upper body are shorter, and their body is thicker compared with their relatively flat chest. After all, Cheinese women'chests are more voluminous, while their shoulders are drooped more, although their shoulder size is almost as same as Korean women'. By used factor analysis, 8 factors were extracted from body measurements : body obesity, vertical body size, ankle and knee sizes, head size, front upper body length, shoulder size, form and size of neck and upper chest, drooping of shoulders, and size of hip. It was found that Chinese college women are obser with larger vertical body length and front upper body length. And their shoulders are more drooped with larger hip. But two nations'female students did not show any differences in the sizes of ankles, knees, head and shoulders.

  • The study aimed to evaluate the appearance of the men's work clothes jumpers developed to suggest the prototype work clothes jumper patterns by using the 3-D clothing simulation technology. The 3-D simulated clothing images considered the upper body features of men in the age range between 20 and 59 in South Korea. A questionnaire survey conducted previously suggested a basic jumper style with shirt collar and snap opening cuffs for the heavy industry workers; and discomforting parts of the work clothes jumper of the subject workers have been referred to for the experimental jumper appearance test. Besides, defining the measurements of men's upper bodies enabled to generate the men's 3-D virtual models representing each age group's average body feature. The significant body measurement factors for men's 3-D body modeling and jumper pattern-making were stature for the height factor; chest, waist and hip circumferences for the circumference factor; waist back, hip and arm lengths and interscye front/back for the length factor; and back neck breadth for the breadth factor and armscye and scye depths for the depth factor. The men's body measurements of 30's were implemented to three experimental jumper pattern-making methods, i.e. the 1st method using the relations based on stature and chest circumference; the 2nd method using the direct body measurements; and the 3rd method adopting the maximum ease amount of given body measurements whether relations or direct measurements except the direct measurement of scye depth. A comparison among the three experimental jumpers' simulated images highlighted that the appropriate ease amount of the jumper gained higher scores in terms of the jumpers' front, side, back and sleeve parts and the total silhouettes. Therefore the 3rd experimental jumper was finally selected for the heavy industry workers.
