In ophthalmology, a pupillometer, a device to measure the diameter of the pupil of the eye, can provide information on the function of the autonomic nervous system. The current pupillometers on the market are either too large to be a handheld instrument, or relatively expensive. In this study, a pupillometer based on a smartphone was designed. Both white and infrared LEDs and a 3M pixel camera of a smartphone were applied for the visual stimuli to an eye and for the acquisition of the eye images, respectively. Contrary to the existing method of pupil measurement that usually observe the variation of pupil diameter, the proposed algorithm in this study was applied to calculate the constriction ratio of the pupillary area in response to pupillary light reflex. The results showed that the constriction ratio of the pupillary area were all in the normal range (above 4.0) from the sixteen healthy participants. It is believed that the approach to pupil measurement used in this study is suitable for a mobile interface, and this system can be applied to clinical research, home-use healthcare, and distributed to some areas which suffer from problems like a lack of medical support.

The objective of this study is to obtain the instability characteristics of the plane jet impinging on circular cylinder associated with the cylinder-tone. It is found that the characteristics depends upon he ratio of the cylinder diameter to the nozzle width, D/h, and the jet velocity. When the ratio is oderate the cylinder-tone is similar to the edge-tone. With increase of the ratio, its characteristics ecomes similar to that of the plate-tone in which only the high-speed tone associated with turbulent et is generated. When D/h 〈1. the frequency range, especially the lower limit of frequency, is ignificantly influenced by the cylinder diameter. At around D/h = 1/2, while low speed tones are nduced with the antisymmetric mode of instability and affected by the vortex shedding from the ylinder, high-speed tones are generated, at first, with the symmetric mode of instability. and then, ith antisymmetric mode, as the jet velocity increases.

Round shape Bi2212/Ag is isotropic and can be fabricated Rutherford cable to transport high current. Bi2212/Ag round wires with various Ag ratio were fabricated using powder-in-tube process. Double stacked 385 (55\times$7) filamentary wire of various wire diameter was heat-treated at various melting temperature. Wires which have Ag ratio of 0.3 and 0.42 of Ag tube for monofilament show similar critical current density. As average filament diameter decreases from 33 to 16 \mu$m, critical current density of wires increase, and in case of 16 ${\mu}m$ and $T_m$ 890$^{\circ}C$, critical current density was 2,062 $A/mm^2$ at 4.2 K, 0 T.

The discharge coefficient in segmental wedge having ninety degrees vertex angle for the five kinds of opening ratio with differential pressure taps located at both upstream and downstream of one diameter of pipe was measured main purpose of this work is placed on developing the proper form of an equation for the discharge coefficient of a segmental wedge used as a primary element of flow metering devices, and from thata six-term equation which can express the variability of opening ratios was developed. The same assumption and hypotheses were used and tested for all procedures as conventional differential producers; however, the range of the opening ratio over this work is more expanded than previous studies. The opening ratios of segmental wedge, namely 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7 were investigated the Reynolds number based on the spool inside diameter ranges from 12,000 to 380,000, the resulting equation for the discharge coefficient is relatively simple; it contains only one variable-opening ratio because the characteristic of discharge coefficient of segmental wedge has little connection with the Reynolds number as shown by previous studies.

The present analysis deals with a numerical procedure for optimizing the shape of elliptical dimples in a cooling channel. The three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) analysis is employed in conjunction with the SST model for predictions of the turbulent flow and the heat transfer. Three non-dimensional geometric design variables, such as the ellipse dimple diameter ratio, ratio of the dimple depth to the average diameter, and ratio of the distance between dimples to the pitch are considered in the optimization. Twenty-one experimental points within design space are selected by Latin Hypercube Sampling. Each objective function values at these points are evaluated by RANS analysis and producing optimal point using surrogate model. The linear combination of heat transfer coefficient and friction loss related terms with a weighting factor is defined as the objective function. The results show that the optimized elliptical dimple shape improves considerably the heat transfer performance than the circular dimple shape.

The present study investigates the pressure drop characteristics in rotating two-pass ducts. The duct has an aspect ratio (W/H) of 0.5 and a hydraulic diameter $(D_h)$ of 26.67mm. Rib turbulators are attached crossly in the four different arrangements on the leading and trailing surfaces of the test ducts. The ribs have a rectangular cross section of $2mm(e){\times}3mm(w)$ and an attack angle of $70^{\circ}C$. The pitch-to-rib height ratio (pie) is 7.5, and the rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio $(e/D_h)$ is 0.075. The results show that the highest pressure drop among each region appears in the turning region for the stationary case, but appears in the upstream region of the second pass for the rotating case. Effects of cross rib arrangements are almost the same in the first pass for the stationary and rotating cases. In the second pass, however, heat transfer and pressure drop are high for the cases with cross NN or PP type ribs in the stationary ducts. In the rotating ducts, they are high for the cases with cross NP or PP type ribs.

The present study investigates the pressure drop characteristics in rotating two-pass ducts. The duct has an aspect ratio (W/H) of 0.5 and a hydraulic diameter $(D_h)$ of 26.67mm. Rib turbulators are attached parallel in the four different arrangements on the leading and trailing surfaces of the test ducts. The ribs have a rectangular cross section of $2m(e){\times}3mm(w)$ and an attack angle of $70^{\circ}C$. The pitch-to-rib height ratio (p/e) is 7.5, and the rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio $(e/D_h)$ is 0.075. The results show that the highest pressure drop among each region appears in the turning region for the stationary case, but appears in the upstream region of the second pass for the rotating case. Effects of parallel rib arrangements are almost the same in the first pass for the stationary and rotating cases. In the second pass, however, heat transfer and pressure drop are high for the cases with parallel NN or PP type ribs in the stationary ducts. In the rotating ducts, they are high for the cases with parallel NN or PN type ribs.

The properties of contaminants, contaminated soil, and the elapsed time are important factors to in-situ soil remediation. Gabr et. al. (1996) derived the solution equation of contaminant concentration ratio as initial one $(C/C_0)$ with time and spatial changes in contaminated area with vertical drains. The contaminant concentration ratio $(C/C_0)$ is analyzed with time and spatial changes as varying the effective diameter, porosity, shape factor, density of contaminated soil and temperature in ground and unit weight, viscosity of contaminants by using FLUSH1 model. Results from numerical analysis indicate that the most important factor to the in-situ soil remediation using vertical drains is the effective diameter of contaminated soil. It also shows that the viscosity of contaminants, porosity of soil, shape of soil, temperature in ground, unit weight of contaminants are, in order, affected to the soil remediation but density of soil is insignificant to the soil remediation.

The present study investigated two-phase flow distribution and phase separation of R-22 refrigerant through various types of branch tubes. The key experimental parameters were the orientation of inlet and branch tubes (horizontal and vertical), diameter ratio of branch tube to inlet tube (1 and 0.61), mass flux (200-500 kg/㎡s), and inlet quality (0.1-0.4). The predicted local pressure profile in the tube with junction was compared and generally agreed with the measured data. The local pressure profile within the pressure recovery region after the junction has to be carefully investigated for modeling the pressure drop through the branch. The equal flow distribution case can be found by adjusting the orientation of the inlet and branch tubes and the diameter ratio of the branch tube to the inlet tube. The T-junction with horizontal inlet and branch tubes showed the nearly equal phase distribution ratio. The quality at the branch tube varied from 0 to 1 as the orientation of the branch tube changed, while it varied within${\pm}$50% as the orientation of the inlet tube changed.

The AWJM(Abrasive Water-jet Machining) technology is one of the cutting technologies, which can cut various materials with 2 or 3 times of the speed of sound. In this study, processing conditions such as jet-pressure, cutting speed, orifice diameter and stand-off distance, are used by following the design of experiments with 3 levels. Al6061 material which is normally applied on the field, is applied. Through the S/N ratio analysis with measured values, the optimization value of processing conditions to minimize the surface roughness and taper value is obtained. The order of significance is as follows; jet pressure, cutting speed, abrasive mixing ratio, orifice diameter and stand-off distance. RSM(Response Surface Method) is applied to find the optimal processing conditions to minimize both the surface roughness and the taper value by using jet pressure, cutting speed and abrasive mixing ratio.
