A solid freeform fabrication (SFF) system using selective laser sintering (SLS) is currently recognized as a leading process and the SLS extends the applications to machinery and automobiles due to various employing materials. In order to fabricate a large part with SFF system, dual laser approach has been introduced. Since the building room is divided into two regions, each scan path for dual laser system is generated based on the single laser scan path. Scan paths for each laser have to be synchronized and consider mechanical strength against fracture at the interfaced region. This paper will address generation of single laser scan path which deals with special cases for unnecessary scan points and generation of dual laser scan path according to various divided regions to enhance mechanical strength. To evaluate the developed scan path method, the specimen will be fabricated and evaluated.

의료장비와 기술의 발달에도 불구하고 췌장암만 유일하게 기타 암질환과 비교하면 오진률이 높고 생존률이 낮은 질환이다. 따라서 췌장암은 조기 발견만이 생존율을 높일 수 있는 유일한 방법이며 췌장암의 정확한 위치를 찾는 것이 중요하다. Dual Point PET/CT 검사를 이용해서 췌장암의 조기 발견을 위한 최적의 Scan method를 제안하였다. PET/CT 검사의 Supine position에서 놓칠 수 있는 해부학적 영역을 환자의 position을 $0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$ $75^{\circ}$ 변화에 따른 영상의 특징 및 유효성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 $90^{\circ}$ lateral recumbent position Scan에서 Pancreas tail 판별의 유용성을 발견하였다. Dual Point PET/CT 검사에서 상복부 특히 해부학적 구조상 췌장처럼 인접 장기와 중첩이 있는 경우, 췌장암이 의심될 때 PET/CT 지연검사에서 환자에게 충분한 수분섭취를 한 후 환자의 Position을 테이블과 수직 상태로 돌려 Lt 또는 Rt lateral Recumbent position 상태에서 PET/CT Scan을 시행하므로 위장, 간, 담낭 십이지장, 췌장 등의 장기를 이격시켜 해부학적 판별에 이점을 주는 검사방법 (JJ-Projection: lateral recumbent position scan)을 개발하였다. ROC curve 분석에서 JJ-Projection방법이 기존의 Supine scan 방식에서 얻은 영상보다 민감도가 95.2% 나타났다. 이것은 기존의 검사방식과 비교해볼 때 4.6 % 증가 하였다. 특이도는 87.5%로 6.9% 증가하였다. 조직검사로 생물학적 암으로 확정된 결과치와 비교해 볼 때 정확도는 94.1%로 기존 방식 86%에 비해 8.41 % 증가하였다. 그러므로 Dual Time Point PET/CT를 이용한 췌장암 판별 검사를 할 때 Delay scan에서 lateral recumbent position로 변경해서 Scan 하는 것이 기존의 일반적인 방법인 Supine position Scan보다 췌장암 조기 판별에 유용한 정보를 줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A computer simulation was performed to study the effectiveness of temperature on the type of laser heat source in the context of the heterogeneous welding of aluminum and copper materials. Three different types of heat sources were used in the computer simulation: 1) Single Beam Straight Scan, 2) Single Beam Wobble Scan, and 3) Dual Beam Straight Scan. Among these sources, dual beam straight scan was found to be the most effective from the viewpoint of heat source control. Because the difference between the melting temperatures of copper and aluminum is approximately 400℃, a clear separation of heating temperature was required, and the dual beam straight scan provided superior controllability in this regard. When using the dual beam, the temperature of the 90:10 split was considerably easier to control than that of the 50:50 split. The optimal offset was calculated to be 4 mm off to the copper side, where the melting temperature and thermal conductivity were higher. In this manner, computer simulation was effectively used for determining the optimal laser beam hear source control without performing an actual laser welding experiment.

In this paper an alternative Active Matrix LCD technology is described with scalable, low cost processing. The Dual Select Diode AMLCD requires 60% lower capital investment in the array process than a-Si TFT arrays and results in 20% lower cost LCD modules. Development at several AMLCD manufacturers is in progress.

Recent developments in Dual Select Diode (DSD) AMLCD technology are described. They include a novel array design and drive method with shared select lines, which leads to higher aperture ratio and a further reduction of module cost. A Color-On-Array DSD process and pixel layout compatible with In-Plane-Switching is also proposed.

Ectopic thyroid is not common disease and double ectopic thyroid is rare. Until January of 2008, dual ectopic thyroid has been reported only 23 cases in international literatures. Tc-99m sodium pertechnetate scan is playing an important role in the diagnosis of ectopic thyroid. In most of the cases, dual lingual thyroid tissues could be detected as two radiotracer uptake foci. We report a case of dual lingual thyroid mimicking mono-lingual thyroid in the anterior view of thyroid scan. Lateral view helped in this case to detect the dual lingual thyroid. With lateral view, the anatomical position and relationship could be examined in more detail.

Transition of flows in natural convection in a horizontal cylindrical annulus is investigated for the fluid with Pr=0.2. The unsteady streamfunction-vorticity equation is solved with finite difference method. As Rayleigh number is increased, the steady crescent-shaped eddy flow bifurcates to a time-periodic flow with like-rotating eddies. After the first Hopf bifurcation, however, a reverse transition from oscillatory to a steady flow occurs by the flow pattern variation. Hysteresis phenomenon occurs between the solution branches of up-scan and down-scan stages, and dual solutions with one steady and one oscillatory flow are found. Overall Nusselt of the flows at the flows at the down-scan stage is greater than that at the up-scan stage.

본 연구에서는 이중 시간 PET/CT 검사에서 지연검사 시간이 다른 두 그룹의 40명의 췌장암 환자에 대한 SUV 데이터의 통계 분석을 통해 최적의 지연검사 시간을 제시하였다. 췌장암의 유무를 확인해야 될 이중 시간 PET/CT 검사에서 새로운 수학적 예측 모델을 만들어 정확도 높은 최적의 지연검사 시간을 제시하였다. 시간에 따른 포도당 대사를 적용한 방사능 붕괴식을 예측 모델로 제시하였다. 지연검사 시간이 다른 두 그룹의 데이터를 가지고 시뮬레이션한 결과 PET/CT에서 췌장암 판별을 위한 최적의 지연검사 시간이 131.5분으로 제시하였다. 제안된 지연검사 시간은 췌장암 결정에 적용될 수 있는 통계적 유의 수준을 보였다(p<0.05). 제안된 지연 검사 시간 131.5분을 결정하여 검사를 진행할 때, 췌장암 조기 판별에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Background: In this study, we investigate the image quality of virtual monochromatic images synthesized from dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) at voltages of 80/140 kV and 100/140 kV. Materials and Methods: Virtual monochromatic images of a phantom are synthesized from DECT scans from 40 to 70 keV in steps of 1 keV under the two combinations of tube voltages. The dose allocation of dual-energy (DE) scan is 50% for both low- and high-energy tubes. The virtual monochromatic images are compared to single-energy (SE) images at the same radiation dose. In the DE images, noise is reduced using the 100/140 kV scan at the optimal monochromatic energy. Virtual monochromatic images are reconstructed from 40 to 70 keV in 1-keV increments and analyzed using two quality indexes: noise and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). Results and Discussion: The DE scan mode with the 100/140 kV protocol achieved a better maximum CNR compared to the 80/140 kV protocol for various materials, except for adipose and brain. Image noise is reduced with the 100/140 kV protocol. The CNR values of DE with the 100/140 kV protocol is similar to or higher than that of SE at 120 kV at the same radiation dose. Furthermore, the maximum CNR with the 100/140 kV protocol is similar to or higher than that of the SE scan at 120 kV. Conclusion: It was found that the CNR achieved with the 100/140 kV protocol was better than that with the 80/140 kV protocol at optimal monochromatic energies. Virtual monochromatic imaging using the 100/140 kV protocol could be considered for application in breast, brain, lung, liver, and bone CT in accordance with the CNR results.
