This paper presents an analysis of wind velocity measurements obtained from four ultrasonic anemometers arranged in a vertical formation. The anemometers were located in a rural environment with a view to providing detailed information on the flow statistics of the lower part of the atmospheric boundary layer, particularly for the extreme wind events that are important in loading calculations. The data is analysed using both conventional analysis and conditional sampling. The latter is combined with wavelet analysis in order to provide a detailed analysis of the energy/frequency relationship of the extreme events. The work presented in this paper suggests that on average the extreme events occur as a result of the superposition of two independent mechanisms - large scale events that scale on the atmospheric boundary layer thickness and small scale events a few tens of metres in size.

In this research, a material test machine is developed which uses a small electro-magnetic actuator and a leverage mechanism. The leverage mechanism amplifies the force from the electro-magnetic actuator. The electro-magnetic part operates more silently and cleanly than a hydraulic part. In a tooth material study, a test machine does not require a large force capacity because it handles only $4mm^2$-sectioned and short-span specimens. Conventional test machines such as those by Instron and the BOSE Enduratec ELF3200 have too high aforce capacity for a tooth material study. A test machine for a tooth material study requires an acting force only on the order of tens of Newtons (N) operating at several Hertz.

Micro-stereolithography is a newly proposed technology as a means that can fabricate 3D micro-structures of free form. It makes a 3D structure by dividing the shape into many slices of relevant thickness along honzontal surfaces, hardening each layer of slice with a laser, and stacking them up to a des~red shape. Scale effect becomes important in this micro-fabrication process, d~fferently from the conventional stereolithography. To realize this micro-stereolithography technology, we developed an equipment using Ar+ laser, xyz stages, controllers and all the optic devices. Using the equipment, a number of micro-structures were successfully fabricated including a winecup of several tens of micrometers.

Segmenting vessels in lower extremity CT images is very difficult because of gray level variation, connection to bones, and their small sizes. Instead of segmenting vessels, we propose an approach that segments bones and subtracts them from the original CT images. The subtracted images can contain not only connected vessel structures but also isolated vessels, which are very difficult to detect using conventional vessel segmentation methods. The proposed method initially grows a 3-dimensional (3D) volume with a seeded region growing (SRG) using an adaptive threshold and then detects junctions and forked branches. The forked branches are classified into either bone branches or vessel branches based on appearance, shape, size change, and moving velocity of the branch. The final volume is re-grown by collecting connected bone branches. The algorithm has produced promising results for segmenting bone structures in several tens of vessel-enhanced CT image data sets of lower extremities.

Change of dielectric loss of use in high relative permitivity capacitor BaTiO$_3$ ceramic depends on Mn doping have been investigated. The powders used in this study were commercial BaTiO$_3$, TiO$_2$and, MnCO$_3$. Sample was fabricated by conventional ceramic process. The quantity of Mn was changed gradually from 0.lmol% to 10mo1%. The sintering densities were reduced with increasing amount of MnCO$_3$. This result is because of increase of low density second phase BaMnO$_3$. When the samples were doped by over 0.2mol% of MnCO$_3$, average grain sizes were enlarge to several tens ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The dielectric losses were reduced by Mn doping to lmol% but, increased from lmol% to 10mo1% gradually.

Alumina is one of the most important ceramic materials because of its useful physical and chemical properties. Recently, high-purity alumina has been used in various industrial fields. This leads to increasing demand for reliable elemental analysis of impurities in alumina samples. However, the chemical inertness of alumina makes the sample preparation for conventional elemental analysis a tremendously difficult task. Herein, we demonstrated the feasibility of laser ablation for effective sampling of alumina powder. Laser ablation performs sampling rapidly without any chemical reagents and also allows simultaneous optical emission spectroscopy and mass spectrometry analyses. For six alumina samples including certified reference materials and commercial products, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and laser-ablation inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) analyses were performed simultaneously based on a common laser ablation sampling. LIBS was found to be useful to quantify alkali and alkaline earth metals with limits-of-detection (LODs) around 1 ppm. LA-ICP-MS could quantify transition metals such as Ti, Cu, Zn, and Zr with LODs in the range from a few tens to hundreds ppb.

In this paper, an off-axis digital holographic microscopy compensated with self-hologram rotation is presented. The process is implemented via subtracting the unwrapped phase maps of the off-axis parabolic hologram and its rotation $180^{\circ}$ to eliminate the tilt induced by the angle between the spherical object wave O and the plane reference wave R. Merit of the proposed method is that it can be done without prior knowledge of physical parameters and hence can reconstruct a parabolic hologram of $1024{\times}768$ pixels within tens of milliseconds since it doesn't require a digital reference wave. The method is applied to characterize rough gold bumps and the obtained results were compared with those extracted from the conventional reconstruction method. The comparison showed that the proposed method can characterize rough surfaces with excellent contrast and in realtime. Merit of the proposed method is that it can be used for monitoring smaller biological cells and micro-fluidic devices.

시추공 레이다는 지하자원 및 지질탐사 목적으로 사용되는 레이다로서 수 ns의 펄스폭을 갖는 전자파를 송신하고 탐사 대상으로부터 반사되어 입력되는 수십에서 수백MHz의 반사파를 수신하기 위하여 고속 샘플러가 반드시 필요하다. 수십MHz의 샘플링 클럭 주파수로도 수GHz급의 샘플링 성능을 낼 수 있는 ETS(Equivalent-Time Sampling)는 시추공 레이다용 수신기의 샘플러로 사용이 적합하다. ETS 샘플러 설계에 있어 가장 중요한 요소인 샘플링 클럭 지연을 제어하는 방법으로 본 연구에서는 하나의 클럭 소스에 대해 각 $90^{\circ}$씩 위상 차이를 가지는 4개의 클럭을 이용한 방법을 제시하였다. 제안하는 방법은 기존의 지연 발생기를 이용하는 방법보다 설정한 구간 내에서 데이터를 획득하는 시간이 1/23로 단축 가능하다. 구현된 샘플러를 기존 시추공 레이다의 수신기에 적용하면 단축된 샘플링 시간으로 인해 추가로 64회 누적이 가능해져 지하 터널 탐사를 위한 수신신호 품질 개선 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 또한, 목표 샘플링 범위를 만족하기 위해서 여러 개의 샘플링 클럭 지연제어 로직을 사용하는 기존 방식에 비하여 하나의 지연제어 로직을 사용함으로써 그간 반드시 필요하였던 보정 과정의 생략이 가능하다. 그 결과 시스템의 구조를 단순화할 수 있었으며 균일한 샘플러의 구현이 가능하였다.

본 논문은 인버터 AC 스폿용접시스템의 용접시간을 최소화하기 위한 방법에 관한 것이다. 기존의 SCR 회로방식을 이용한 스폿용접시스템의 경우 제어속도가 느리고 전류제어가 정밀하지 않다. 따라서 최근에는 인버터를 이용한 용접시스템이 점차 증가하고 있다. 2차전지의 전극과 같은 박판을 용접해야 하는 경우에는 용접시간이 수 [ms] 정도로 짧아야 한다. 수 [ms] 정도로 용접시간을 최소화하면서 수 천 [A]에 달하는 대전류를 흘리기 위해서 일반적으로 수십개의 스위칭 소자들을 병렬로 연결하여 사용하기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 단지 4개의 IGBT로 구성된 인버터와 60[Hz] 변압기만으로 수 [ms] 대의 용접이 가능한 비용절감형 용접시스템을 제안하고 특성을 분석하였다. 그리고 실험을 통하여 타당성과 효용성을 입증하였다.

Superconducting detectors are promising as ion detectors for time-of-flight mass spectrometers (TOF MS). They can achieve mass-independent detection efficiency even for macromolecular bombardments, because output signals are produced through the deposited kinetic energy at ion impact instead of secondary electron emission that is the ion detection mechanism of conventional microchannel plate (MCP) detectors or secondary electron multipliers (SEM). Among the superconducting detectors, the superconducting strip ion detectors (SSIDs), which consist of several hundreds of superconducting lines with a width of a few hundreds nm and a thickness of a few tens of nm, have a fast response time of less than 1 ns. Inherently, the response time of SSIDs is determined by kinetic inductance, so that it was difficult to realize a fast SSID with a large detection area. However, we succeeded in realizing the detector size up to $5{\times}5mm^2$ without response time degradation by using a parallel configuration.
