As pipelines are often used to transport gas, oil, water and oil products, there are more than one pipeline installed in the offshore field. The size and space of pipelines are various depending on the design specifications. The pipelines are to be designed and installed to secure the stability to external loads during the installation and operation period. The flow patterns are very complex around the pipelines being dependent on incoming flow velocity, pipelines size and space. To investigate the flow patterns, number of experiment are conducted with visualization equipment in a circulating water channel. The flow motion and trajectory were recorded from the laser reflected particles by camera. From the experiment the flow patterns around spaced pipelines were obtained. Also pressure gradient was measured by mano-meter to estimate the hydrodynamic forces on the behind pipeline. The results show that the various sizes and spaces can be affected in the estimation of external load. The complex flow patterns and pressure gradients can be effectively used in the understanding of flow motion and pressure gradient.

A study is described for obtaining real time in situ size and velocity measurements of the spray-droplet using crossed-beam interferometry. The optical arrangement is similar to dual-beam laser Doppler velocimetry(LDV). Droplets passing trough the probe volume scatter light to the collecting lens placed at 90.deg. off-axis angle. The dual-beam light scatter is analyzed by the geometric optics theory to relate the scattered fringe pattern to droplet diameter. The droplet size measurement is based upon the signal visibility. As the system is based on the Doppler effect, a single component of velocity is velocity is extracted concurrent with the size information. The validity of the method is evaluated by comparing its performance to widely accepted but limited technique, the collection method. By using 90.deg. off-axis scatter detection angle, the measurement of the droplet size and velocity distributions, and the local correlations between droplet sizes and velocities in relatively dense spray environments are made possible.

In this paper, we propose novel optics design for media inside near-field recording (NFR) using hemispherical solid immersion lens (HMS). To obtain strong advantage of data protection and high data capacity simultaneously, HMS based near field optics using aplanatic position of super hemisphere is designed. In this design, to improve small optical tolerance of this aplanatic position, additional aspheric lens surface is added on top of the HMS and it is combined with zoom optics which composed of two single lenses having low numerical aperture (NA). Also, to compensate chromatic aberration which happens seriously in optics using blue laser diode, diffractive optical element is used. Using zoom optics, additional aspheric lens surface, and diffractive optical element together, wavefront aberration and chromatic aberration are effectively reduced in broad range of cover layer thickness and wavelength variation. In addition, In this paper, effect of gap induced aberration is investigated by analyzing different behavior of each TM and TE wave for designed media inside dual-layer NFR optics.

This paper described an experimental investigations of combustion instability mode in a lean premixed dual swirl combustor for micro-gasturbine system. When such the instability occurs, a strong coupling between pressure oscillations and unsteady heat release excites a self-sustained acoustic wave which results in a loud, annoyed sound and may also lead a structural damage to the combustion chamber. The detailed period of flame behavior and heat release in combustion instability mode have been examined with high speed OH and CH-PLIF system and $CH^*$ chemiluminescence measurement, flame tomography with operated at 10 kHz and 6 kHz each. Experiment results suggest that unstable flame behavior has a specific frequency with 200 Hz and this frequency is accords with about 1/2 sub-harmonic of combustor resonance frequency, not fundamental frequency. This is very interesting phenomenon that have not reported yet from other previous works. Therefore, when a thermo-acoustic instability with Rayleigh criterion occurs, the fact that the period of heat release and flame behavior are different each other was proposed for the first time through this work.

We have developed the hybrid prototype load cell structures. These developed load cell structures may increase the reliability of the load sensing by deriving the load values through the double sensing method through the vertical maximum deflection and bending stress of the simple beams. For this purpose, the structure design was performed so that the load value, the deflection and stress value could be output to the same value through the optimal structure design. The structurally designed dimensions reaffirmed the accuracy of the design through the structural analysis program and the matching of the load value and the deflection value. Based on the designed structural dimension, the prototype form was constructed through laser cutting and production using hot rolled steel materials. The developed prototype load cell structure can be used as good educational material in various subjects such as material mechanics, steel structure design, measurement engineering, and mechatronics engineering. It is also believed that the measurement system ideas can inform the occurrence of errors in the event of a problem, and if a major accident caused by a sensing error is predicted, it will show good utilization to prevent accidents.

Thread-lifting is a minimally invasive procedure that shows good results and fewer complications as compared with those results and complications of standard surgery. Many procedures and techniques have been developed to create a younger appearance of facial/neck skin for aging people, and the demand for an improved aesthetic appearance is increasing. Since the incidence of side effects is much less than that of non-absorbable threads, which can lead to complications such as foreign body reactions, polydioxanone (PDO) threads are predominantly used for face lift procedures. A 66-year-old woman presented to our clinic with inflamed palpable masses. She had undergone a face lift with absorbable threads in our clinic 5 months previously. Excisional biopsy was performed with the patient under local anesthesia. During the operation, any threads were not detected and there was both fibrotic scar tissue and granulomatous tissue. For effectively promoting healing and managing the scars, treatment with LDM^®-MED was performed on the day after surgery. The treatment was performed according to the author's protocol. Although foreign body granuloma as a complication after using non-absorbable thread types have been previously reported, it is relatively rare to find this type of complication after using absorbable thread. In this report, we present a case in which a 66-year-old female with foreign body granuloma after undergoing a face lift using absorbable threads was treated with the application of dual-frequency ultrasound, which promoted wound healing.

An ultrasonic bone densitometer has been developed by measuring speed of sound signal transmitted and received on the skin, not through the horizontal axis but through the vertical one in tissue. The SOS(speed of sound) method measuring the time difference between the ultrasound signals reflected from the both sides of surface of bone could produce more precise result compared with the BUA(broadband ultrasound attenuation) method measuring the frequency difference. Middle finger is selected to be the best measurement position in order to increase the accuracy, after due consideration that the thickness of flesh at the down part of thumb shows too much variation although the ratio of the receiving signal is higher than the other fingers. The measured value by using SOS method shows almost the same result as compared with the conventional DEXA method.

In this paper, the transverse strain was measured using polarization maintaining fiber Bragg grating(PMFBG) sensor. PMFBG sensor was fabricated using phase mask and Excidmer laser. The reflected wavelength of PMFBG sensor had dual peaks due to intrinsic birefringence. To find the polarization axes, peak sensitivity was measured under compression test. The signal characteristics of PMFBG sensor were also examined in embedding condition. The embedded PMFBG sensor in epoxy block was loaded for the transverse strain measurement, The wavelength-swept fiber laser(WSFL) was used to construct the PMFBG sensor system. Experiments showed that the PMFBG sensor could successfully measure the transverse strain.

The experiment is conducted on the rapidly rotating incompressible flow within a confined cylinder using LDV(Laser Doppler Velocimetry). The configurations of interest are the flows between a rotating upper disk with a bar and a stationary lower disk enclosed within a cylinder. The flow is considered to be an axisymmetric undisturbed basic flow. The results show that the flow is strongly dependent on the radius and the shape of bar but is negligibly affected by the Reynolds number in turbulent flow. It is observed that in the lid-driven case the main forms near the wall as the Reynolds number increases. The thin bar causes the second axial flow due to the suction effect and the thick bar causes the main flow to be pulled toward the surface of the bar. The step bar shows the dual effect of the two. 1:2 tilt bar shows that the main flow distributes wider than the other cases in which interference occurs due step bar.
