In this study, the flow characteristics of the filter system were analyzed due to the effect of the density of the filter in the triple filter system. Flow analysis was performed as a flow passing through a porous medium. The flow characteristics of each filter system were analyzed by arranging filters with different densities in the forward flow flow and the reverse flow. The arrangement order of the triple filters was excellent in the case of forward fluid flow and in the case of higher density from the inside to the outside filter. In the reverse flow filter system, the performance of the system was the best in the case of reverse order filter arrangement. As a result of the analysis, Case II, which showed a pressure drop rate of 5.65% for forward flow, was the best in the reverse direction with a pressure drop rate of 14.25%. Considering reverse and forward flows, it was found that the optimal filter arrangement was most effective when the intermediate filter was the densest, and the inner or outer filter was less dense.

We propose a tunable add/drop filter in a form of an all-fiber mach-zehnder interferometer iwth one bragg grating at each arm. This device can be tuned by inducing a strain in the bragg grating. We also theoretically analyze the outut characteristics of the tunable add/drop filter. As a result of simulation, we know that the proposed tunable add/drop filter works well. When 2*10$^{-3}$ of strain is induced, the reflected spectrum shifts about 3nm. And its reflected spectral width is about 0.3nm. In this case roughly 5 channels can be tuned, assuming the channel spacing is 0.3nm. When the pathlengths of the both arms are not the same, the transmissivities at the add and output ports and the reflectivity at the tap port varies sinusoidally with the pthlength difference. To maintain the transmissivities above 90% in the wavelength tuning range of 20nm the pathlength difference less than 16.mu.m is required.

A foraminal gas pseudocyst is a rare cause of lumbar radiculopathy. The association with a sudden foot drop has not been previously reported. Here, a 67-year-old woman with sudden foot drop on the left side is reported. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging identified a foraminal gas containing lesion compressing the left L5 root at the L5-S1 foramen. The foraminal gas containing lesion compressing the L5 ganglion was successfully removed by the posterior approach. The histological diagnosis was a gas pseudocyst. This unique case of surgically proven gas pseudocyst indicates that it should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with sudden foot drop.

Recently ER fluids are put to practical use in fluid power industry field. As only with electrical signal change to the valve in which ER fluid flowing, ER fluid flow is controlled, so devepment of simple ER valves have been tried. In this case a technical problem is to check the pressure drop caused from flow rate change in valves because the pressure drop is very small. In this study ER valves are designed and manufactured, and small pressure drop induced from flow rate change is checked by pressure transducer which is made with appling strain gage. The ER valves and pressure drop check method are considered to be applied to the fluid power industry.

In the present study, the analysis on heat and fluid flow in subway station platform is carried out by considering the pressure drop between screen doors and stair passages. To investigate the effect on the characteristics of heat and fluid flow of pressure drop, Numerical simulation is applied. The present results show a better cooling condition, in the case of without pressure drop.

The drop formation dynamics of a shear thinning, elastic, yield stress ($\tau_o$) fluid (Carbopol 980 (poly(acrylic acid)) dispersions) in silicone oil has been investigated in a flow-focusing microfluidic channel. The rheological character of each solution investigated varied from Netwonian-like through to highly non-Newtonian and was varied by changing the degree of neutralization along the poly (acrylic acid) backbone. We have observed that the drop size of these non-Newtonian fluids (regardless of the degree of neutralisation) showed bimodal behaviour. At first we observed increases in drop size with increasing viscosity ratio (viscosity ratio=viscosity of dispersed phase (DP)/viscosity of continuous phase (CP)) at low flowrates of the continuous phases, and thereafter, decreasing drop sizes as the flow rate of the CP increases past a critical value. Only at the onset of pinching and during the high extensional deformation during pinch-off of a drop are any differences in the non-Newtonian characteristics of these fluids, that is extents of shear thinning, elasticity and yield stress ($\tau_o$), apparent. Changes in these break-off dynamics resulted in the observed differences in the number and size distribution of secondary drops during pinch-off for both fluid classes, Newtonian-like and non-Newtonian fluids. In the case of the Newtonian-like drops, a secondary drop was generated by the onset of necking and breakup at both ends of the filament, akin to end-pinching behavior. This pinch-off behavior was observed to be unaffected by changes in viscosity ratio, over the range explored. Meanwhile, in the case of the non-Newtonian solutions, discrete differences in behaviour were observed, believed to be attributable to each of the non-Newtonian properties of shear thinning, elasticity and yield stress. The presence of a yield stress ($\tau_o$), when coupled with slow flow rates or low viscosities of the CP, reduced the drop size compared to the Newtonian-like Carbopol dispersions of much lower viscosity. The presence of shear thinning resulted in a rapid necking event post onset, a decrease in primary droplet size and, in some cases, an increase in the rate of drop production. The presence of elasticity during the extensional flow imposed by the necking event allowed for the extended maintenance of the filament, as observed previously for dilute solutions of linear polymers during drop break-up.

In order to determine the Mode I stress intensity factor ($K_1$) experimentally by means of the alternating current potential drop(ACPD) technique, the change in potential drop due to load for a ferromagnetic material containing a two-dimensional surface crack was examined. The cause of the change in potential drop and the effect of the magnetic flux on the change in potential drop were clarified by using the measuring systems with and without removing the magnetic flux from the circumference of the specimen. To remove the magnetic flux, a new measuring system was made by utilizing the characteristic of coaxial transmission line. The change in potential drop in the case without magnetic flux in the air was caused by the change in electromagnetic properties near the crack tip due to magnetization. The relationship between the change in potential drop and the change in $K_I$ was linealized by demagnetization and was found to be independent of the crack length.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) on episodes of foot drop and the ability to cross obstacles in stoke patients. Methods: The patient was a 57-year-old man with left hemiplegia. This patient displayed episodes of foot drop while walking and issues with crossing obstacles. The patient underwent therapeutic exercises and occupational therapy twice daily at a hospital five times a week. The patient was treated with PNF outside of these therapeutic sessions. Each session, which was 60 minutes in length, was conducted 3 times a week over 8 weeks. Over the course of treatment, a pre-test and post-test were completed. The patient walked for a test time of 6M. During the testing process, the patient crossed obstacles. In addition, the number of foot drop episodes was recorded. Each test was measured three times to determine the mean value. Results: After the PNF treatments, the number of foot drop episodes decreased from five to one. The 6M walking test time during which the patient crossed obstacles also decreased from 18 seconds to 10 seconds. Conclusion: The use of PNF treatments is beneficial to reduce the number of foot drop episodes while walking and to improve the ability to cross obstacles in stroke patients.
