A nonstandard instrument used in the filed frequently becomes out-of-calibration due to environmental noise, misuse, aging, etc. A substantial amount of loss may result if such nonstandard instrument is used to check product quality and performance. Traditional periodic calibration at the calibration center is not capable of detecting out-of-calibration status while the instrument is in use, and therefore, statistical methods need to be developed to check the status of a nonstandard instrument in the field between calibrations. Developed in this paper is a unified measurement assurance model in which statistical calibration at the calibration center and measurement assurance test in the filed are combined. We developed statistical procedures to detect changes in precision and in the coefficients of the calibration equation. Futher, computational experiments are conducted to evaluate how the power of test varies with respect to the parameters involved. Based upon the computational results we suggest procedures for designing effective measurement assurance tests.

목적 : 근접치료에 사용하는 동위원소인 Ir-192는 전량 수입에 의존하고 있으며, 그 Activity는 Welltype Chamber를 이용하여 측정하거나 제조업체의 선원 강도 인증서를 믿고 의존하는 방법, 또는 Farmer Chamber를 이용한 in-air dosimetry 등이 있다. 본 논문에서는 좀더 간단하고 단순한 Farmer Chamber를 이용한 방법을 소개하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : Farmer Chamber와 Source Calibration jig를 이용하여 Ir-192 동위원소의 Activity를 측정하고 그 값을 제조사의 선원강도 인증서의 값과 비교하여 선원의 Activity를 check한다. 결과 : 측정결과 제조사의 값과 비교하여 ${\pm}2.1\%$로, AAPM 권고 값인 ${\pm}5\%$ 안의 오차범위에 들어가는 차이로서 임상에서의 사용이 가능하다. 결론 : 근접치료장치의 사용증가와 그에 따른 선원의 수입 증가는 불가결하다. 그리고 선원의 정확한 Activity Check는 필수이다. 선원의 Act check를 위해 Well type chamber의 추가 구입 없이 Farmer Chamber와 Source Calibration jig를 이용하여 정확한 선량 측정이 가능하였다.

Audiometric calibration is a prerequisite for securing the reliability of audiometric test results by checking the internal consistency of the relevant instrument. The purpose of this review is to help instrument operators understand the calibration procedure of aural acoustic immittance instrument which is frequently used for objective assessment. By referring to the latest international standards and the national standards relevant to the aural acoustic immittance instrument, the following parameters will be reviewed: 1) introduction of performance characteristics, 2) detailed procedure of the calibration method. According to the newest international and national standards [IEC 60645-5 (2004), ANSI S3.39-1987 (R2012)], the aural acoustic immittance instrument basically includes six components: 1) calibration cavity, 2) acoustic immittance analysis system, 3) probe assembly/unit and signal, 4) pneumatic air-pressure pump system, 5) acoustic reflex activator system and 6) tympanogram and acoustic reflex plotting system, each of these components should meet set standards. The result of behavioral hearing tests is influenced by various complex factors including the examinee's cooperation, background noise of the examination room, measurement method, skill level of the audiologist and calibration status, but the objective hearing tests is more influenced by the calibration status of the instrument than any other factors. The audiologist should take full responsibility for the reliability of the hearing test result, so he/she should carry out the calibration check and adjustments of aural acoustic immittance instrument periodically and maintain the instrument continuously by referring to the newest standards and the manufacturer's instruction manual.

Communication Ocean Meteorological Satellite (COMS) is planned to be launched onto Geostationary Earth Orbit in 2008. The meteorological imager (MI) is one of COMS payloads and has 5 spectral channels to monitor meteorological phenomenon around the Korean peninsular intensively and of Asian-side full Earth disk periodically. The MI has on-board radiometric calibration capabilities called 'blackbody calibration' for infrared channels and 'space look' for infrared/visible channels, and radiometric response stability monitoring device called 'albedo monitor' for visible channel. Additionally the MI has on-board function called 'electrical calibration' for the check of imaging path electronics of both infrared and visible channels. The characterization of MI performance is performed to provide the pre-launch radiometric calibration data which will be used for in-orbit radiometric calibration with the on-board calibration outputs. The radiometric calibration of the COMS MI is introduced in the view point of instrument side in terms of in-orbit calibration devices and capabilities as well as the pre-launch calibration activities and expected outputs.

This paper studies the observability of calibration system with a constraint movement by a constraint operator. The calibration system with the constraint movement need only simple sensing device to check whether the constraint movements are completed within an established range. However, it yields the concern about the poor parameter observability due to the constraint movements. This paper uses the QR-decomposition to find the optimal calibration configurations maximizing the linear independence of rows of a observation matrix. The number of identifiable parameters are examined by the rank of the observation matrix, which represents the parameter observability. The method is applied to a parallel typed machining center and the calibration results are presented. These results verify that the calibration system with low-cost indicators and simple planar table is accurate as well as reliable.

HPGe 검출기를 사용하는 감마 분광분석계의 건전성을 점검하기 위한 실험실 선원이 개발되었다. 점검 선원은 0.154 mm 이하의 라듐이 풍부한 토양을 밀봉된 원통형 시료 용기에 담은 것으로, 검출기 교정에 사용할 12 개의 감마선이 방출된다. 점검 선원의 스펙트럼은 1년 동안 1개월 간격으로 측정하였으며, 스펙트럼에 나타난 감마선 피크들의 특성을 조사하였다. 감마 분광분석계가 정상일 때 라듐과 그 붕괴 생성물에서 3% 이상 방출률을 갖는 감마선들의 피크면적과 반치폭은 77 keV 피크를 제외하고는 각각 표준편차 2%와 3% 이내에서 일정하였다. 따라서 점검 선원은 77 keV부터 2202 keV까지 영역에 있는 10개의 피크를 사용하여 분광분석계의 건전성을 점검하는데 충분한 것으로 판단되었다.

This research develops a low-cost and high accuracy kinematic calibration method based on the following principles: 1) the platform locations are accurately measured by a constrained movement to inspect a calibration target; 2) the constrained movement is chosen to guarantee the parameter observability; 3) the mechanical fixture to constrain the movement and the sensor to check the constrained movement are implemented by low-cost and high-accuracy devices; 4) the calibration is easily done at an industrial environment. The kinematic parameters calibrated with respect to a single plane aren't influenced due to the misalignment of the plane. A parameter observability is successfully obtained even through one planar constraint, which guarantees that all kinematic parameters are estimated by minimizing the cost function.

Semiquantitative analysis by ICP-MS has proven to be a powerful tool for fast screening, in addition, it does not require the element of interest to be present in the calibration standard, making it especially useful for the analysis of unknown samples. In this study, seven cigarette samples were analyzed by the rapid semi-quantitative analysis method based on the ICP-MS. For each cigarette sample, cut tobacco, cigarette paper, filter (before and after smoking), and smoke condensate were analyzed. The accuracy of the analysis technique was evaluated by comparing results obtained from Calibration Check Standard(CCS) and calibration method. Relative Percentage Error(RPE) value of all elements measured for three CCS showed a stable result of less than ${\pm}20%$. Compared to full quantitative analysis by calibration method, the results for cigarette samples showed average error within ${\pm}15%$.

It is difficult to check the exact building energy consumption reduction such as when green remodeling of buildings, because it is due to outdoor air temperature over the years. And in Korea although Big Data of building energy consumption is collected and managed through "The Information System of the Building Energy and Greenhouse Gases" it is underutilized because of non calibration of outdoor air temperature change. Therefore, this study aims to develope calibration method of building energy consumption by outdoor air temperature according to micro climates, and building use types. As a result of analysis, Regression equations of Building energy consumption and $HDD_m/CDD_m$ are derived and calibration method is developed by Regression coefficient.

비측정용 카메라를 이용하여 근거리 사진측량을 수행하기 위해서는 카메라 캘리브레이션이 필요하며 근거리 사진측량의 특성상 캘리브레이션은 정밀 기준점의 설치, 다수의 영상획득, 정밀 좌표측정과 더불어 많은 시간이 소요된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실제 캘리브레이션 필드를 대상으로 기준점의 개수, 배치, 사진조합에 따른 오차를 분석하여 효율적인 캘리브레이션 방법을 모색하는 연구를 수행하였다. 기준점의 기복과 사진 조합의 관계가 측량 정확도에 미치는 영향, 그리고 기준점 수와 모델링하고자 하는 내부표정요소 개수에 의한 측량 정확도 등을 분석하여 효율적인 조합을 도출하고자 하였다. 마지막으로, 도출된 조합을 기반으로 한 현장 셀프캘리브레이션에 의한 측량 결과를 실험실 셀프 캘리브레이션 결과와의 측량 정확도와 비교했을 때 반 픽셀의 이내의 차이를 보여 동일한 정확성을 달성할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었고, 지반변형과 같은 응용분야의 정밀 측정에 충분히 활용 가능함을 알 수 있었다.
