The objective of this study was to test whether ZP drilling using a 1.48$\mu$m diode laser beam on mouse IVF embryos becomes effective the hatching and normal in vivo development, as a preliminary test for obtaining the additional proof that the 1.48$\mu$m diode laser could be used safely for human applications. The results obtained in this experiment were as follows: when the hatched rates of mouse embryos by laser ZP drilling according to the embryonic stage were examined until 72 hr (in case of blast tocyst: day 4 after IVF) or 120 hr (in case of 4-cell: day 2 after IVF) after treatment, the d data of laser drilled blastocysts (81.8%) was significantly higher than those of control (hatching blastocyst: day 4 after IVF) (54.2%) and laser drilled 4-cell embryos (45.5%) (p<0.05). When the effect of laser drilling on implantation rates following embryo transfer in day 3 synchronized pseudopregnant recipients was examined, the l laser drilled group (48.7%) was slightly higher than that of control group (43.6%). In addition, when the several pregnant mice delivered in two groups were analysed their chromosomal normality and tested reproductive ability, all p pups were presented normal chromosomal number (n=40) and showed normal growth and reproductive ability. Therefore, these results dem-onstrated that ZP drilling using a 1.48$\mu$m diode l laser can increase the embryo hatching and ind duce the normal pregnancy of mouse embryos.

The increase in the edentulous jaw which occurs in the aged population has led to personal dental health concerns. In the case of dental implant surgery, the duration of a patient's recovery depends on the surgical plan and their physicical ability. A device may be required to assist a physician in controlling vibration reduction of free-hand drilling and prescribing a good treatment plan that is suitable for the patient's condition. In this work, an artificial tooth-root implant assistant manipulator was studied. The structure and the vibration analysis of the dynamic restraint manipulator that is for drilling the alveolar bone in the mandible bone were performed, and the structural stability was analyzed. Further, a virtual prototype of an artificial tooth-root implant assisted manipulator was fabricated and tested. Hence, the state of the Remote Center of Motion (RCM) point and the driving state of the manipulator were confirmed. Furthermore, the drilling experiments were performed by using materials similar to a human jawbone in order to evaluate the performance of the drilling process that is operated using the assistant manipulator.

The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rock is a basic parameter in underground engineering design. The disadvantages of this commonly employed laboratory testing method are untimely testing, difficulty in performing core testing of broken rock mass and long and complicated onsite testing processes. Therefore, the development of a fast and simple in situ rock UCS testing method for field use is urgent. In this study, a multi-function digital rock drilling and testing system and a digital core bit dedicated to the system are independently developed and employed in digital drilling tests on rock specimens with different strengths. The energy analysis is performed during rock cutting to estimate the energy consumed by the drill bit to remove a unit volume of rock. Two quantitative relationship models of energy analysis-based core drilling parameters (ECD) and rock UCS (ECD-UCS models) are established in this manuscript by the methods of regression analysis and support vector machine (SVM). The predictive abilities of the two models are comparatively analysed. The results show that the mean value of relative difference between the predicted rock UCS values and the UCS values measured by the laboratory uniaxial compression test in the prediction set are 3.76 MPa and 4.30 MPa, respectively, and the standard deviations are 2.08 MPa and 4.14 MPa, respectively. The regression analysis-based ECD-UCS model has a more stable predictive ability. The energy analysis-based rock drilling method for the prediction of UCS is proposed. This method realized the quick and convenient in situ test of rock UCS.

These experiments were carried out to investigate fertilizable and developmental ability after zona drilling the unfertilized eggs and the eggs not fertilized by the 1st insemination. The results of in vitro fertilization of the mouse eggs treated by using micromanipulation and acid tyrode's solution with capacitated epididymal spermatozoa were as follows. In the case of ovulated unfertilized eggs, according to sperm count(106, 105, 104 and 103/ml) the rates of in vitro fertlilization treated by zona drilling were 86.0%, 82.0%, 70.0% and 54.0%, respectively, and those of control were 58.0%, 52.0%, 12.0% and 8.0%, respectively. The rates of in vitro fertilization of zona drilled eggs were significantly high compared with those of control, and there were no significant difference between two groups. According to the sperm count the zona drilled eggs developed to the blastocysts were 51.4%, 40.5%, 23.3% and 17.4% and those of control were 35.7%, 26.3%, 0% and 0%, respectively. Also, in the eggs not fertilized by 1st insemination, the fertilization rates of oocytes reinseminated after zona drilling was significantly higher(83.5%) than that of control(34.7%), and the rates of polyspermy were similar. The rates of development to the blastocysts was 18.6% in the zona drilling treated eggs, and that of control was 27.3%, there was no significant difference between two groups. These results indicated that oocytes not fertilized by 1st insemination as well as ovulated unfertilized eggs could be fertilized, improve fertilizing rates by zona drilling treatment, and development potential were normal.

The percussion rate and spacing of the button of drill bit are very important in maximizing the drilling efficiency. Therefore, a series of percussion tests using Hopkinson bar system was carried out to assess the fragmentation performance against the beat rate and spacing of a drill bit. First, single percussion test complemented with numerical simulation was performed to analyze rock fragmentation phenomenon and to describe the fragmentation process. Next, multiple percussion test that repetitively strike the rock sample moving at predetermined rate was carried out to predict drilling efficiency against the button spacing. After the tests, the fragmented volume of the rock was measured by laser scanner and the drilling performance was analyzed using the calculated percussive energy and measured negative volume. Based on the results, the single impact performance of drill bit with 102 mm diameter was predicted.

The concept of deep borehole disposal (DBD) for high-level nuclear wastes has been around for about 40 years. Now, the Department of Energy (DOE) in the United States (U.S.) is re-examining this concept through recent studies at Sandia National Laboratory and a field test. With DBD, nuclear waste will be emplaced in boreholes at depths of 3 to 5 km in crystalline basement rocks. Thinking is that these settings will provide nearly intact rock and fluid density stratification, which together should act as a robust geologic barrier, requiring only minimal performance from the engineered components. The Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board (NWTRB) has raised concerns that the deep subsurface is more complicated, leading to science, engineering, and safety issues. However, given time and resources, DBD will evolve substantially in the ability to drill deep holes and make measurements there. A leap forward in technology for drilling could lead to other exciting geological applications. Possible innovations might include deep robotic mining, deep energy production, or crustal sequestration of $CO_2$, and new ideas for nuclear waste disposal. Novel technologies could be explored by Korean geologists through simple proof-of-concept experiments and technology demonstrations.
