Pancreatic lymphoepithelial cysts (LECs) are rare pancreatic cysts with squamous epithelial lining surrounded by dense lymphoid tissue. A preoperative diagnosis of LECs is difficult due to imaging diversity and inadequate documentation because of their rarity. We present a case of surgically confirmed pancreatic LEC with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings as heterogeneous signal intensity on T2-weighted images with multiple septa-like structures, slightly hypo-signal intensity on T1-weighted images, and thin-wall enhancement on dynamic contrast images. LECs are benign lesions without any malignant potential. Therefore, the inclusion of LEC in the differential diagnosis of cystic pancreatic lesions may reduce unnecessary surgical procedures.

The presence of cracks in mechanical components is a very important problem that, if it is not detected on time, can lead to high economic costs and serious personal injuries. This work presents a methodology focused on identifying cracks in unbalanced rotors, which are some of the most frequent mechanical elements in industry. The proposed method is based on Artificial Neural Networks that give a solution to the presented inverse problem. They allow to estimate unknown crack parameters, specifically, the crack depth and the eccentricity angle, depending on the dynamic behavior of the rotor. The necessary data to train the developed Artificial Neural Network have been obtained from the frequency spectrum of the displacements of the well- known cracked Jeffcott rotor model, which takes into account the crack breathing mechanism during a shaft rotation. The proposed method is applicable to any rotating machine and it could contribute to establish adequate maintenance plans.

Air wiping technique is widely used because of easy and efficient coating control in present CGL The coating weight is controlled by nozzle header pressure. strip line speed, and the distance between strip and nozzle. Coating defects are resulted from the unbalance of these control factors and the inaccuracy of coating equipments. We investigates the main cause of coating defects, such as edge overcoating and coating deviation through various experiments. It is found that the edge overcoating is mainly come from nozzle lip type, and the coating deviation is caused by the unbalance of dynamic pressure.

The correlation dimension can provide some intrinsic Information of an underlying dynamic system by reconstructing measured nonlinear time series. The vibration signals measured from a rotor with different clearance sizes between shaft and bushing were analyzed using the correlation dimension. The results showed that the correlation dimension can identify the size of the clearance of a rotor and the lubricating condition, which can not be analyzed by frequency spectrum or wavelet. The magnitude of the correlation dimension became smaller as the clearance larger and as the lubrication condition better.

The radioisotope study using $^{99m}Tc-macroaggregated$ Albumin is a simple, non-invasive test for the diagnosis of pulmonary arteriovenous fistula(PAVF). It can show the presence. of the right-to-left shunt at the lung level using the dynamic study, and also the shunt fraction can be estimated. Here we presented the results of the radioisotope study on two patients with PAVF. In one patient, the cardiac catheterization was clone and calculated shunt fractions by both method were well matched.

In this paper. the correlation among vibration. wear and temperature are experimentally investigated when rubbing is caused by static and dynamic forces. Each measurement reflects the characteristics of the system and is useful in detecting and diagnosing the current status of rotating machinery. For experiment, the rotor system with lubricating equipment such as trochoid pump, oil tank and wear detecting sensor is implemented to simulate the rubbing condition. Experimental results show that significant change in wear quantity can be notified when vibration signal is changed by rubbing. The results can be applied to system monitoring and fault diagnosis in rotating machinery.

This paper presents a study on application of expert system technique for the diagnosis of fire-causes in plants. A need is recognized for new methods to diagnose exactly the causes of fires without the help of the human experts. To cope with the difficulty, the expert system techiuque is applied to this area. The expert system suggested in this paper is developed to infer the causes of fires(or, ignition source ) by using the information drawn from the circumstances in fire. For the convenience of inference, ignition sources we classified into eight types ; elecoic spark, adiabatic compression, welding spark, material of high temperature, impact and friction, spontaneous ignition, naked fire, and static electricity. The knowledge base is composed of the rule base and dynamic database, which contain the rules and facts obtained by the expenence in this area, respectively. Both depth-first search and backward chaining schemes are used in reasoning process. This expert system is written in an artificial intelligence language "PROLOG", and its availability is demonstrated through the case study.

Nowadays in order to estimate safety diagnosis of bridge, a lot of data like static and dynamic displacement, accelerometer, wind velocity and so on are demanded. When it comes to measure these data, cabled sensor is essential equipment. But cabled sensors have also inefficient factors. From this point of view, considering practical aspects of using these expensive equipments which have been used to examine safety diagnosis, measuring by cabled sensors is restrictive in some respect. Recently to improve theses problems, Wireless sensor system was introduced. But this system can't perform intelligent reaction because database of this system is just based on internet. In this paper, the intelligent bridge safety management model which can be installed easily, measured at all times and dealing intelligently with various situations is developed to improve these problems.

In this study, the self test-system for the marine Gyrocompass was developed and the obtained results are summarized as follows : 1) Utilizing the newly developed self-test system, the time length for observing the transient state of Gyrocompass reading which has been over 4 hours can be reduced to less than 20 minutes. In addition, the dynamic characteristics of the Gyrocompass can be measured within 2 hours after starting the system. 2) Prior test and diagnosis was done by checking all parameters recurrently with period of 2.5minutes. 3) Testing and diagnosis results was shown in graphic mode and could be transmitted to INMARSAT unit using personal computer. 4) The results of the newly designed trouble algorithm for the system was found to be applicable under arbitrary given conditions.

Among several diagnostic tools for clonorchiasis (Clonorchis sinensis infection), radiologic examinations are commonly used in clinical practices. During the 2 past decades, many reports regarding imaging findings of clonorchiasis were introduced. The basic imaging finding of clonorchiasis is diffuse dilatation of the peripheral intra-hepatic bile ducts, without dilation of the large intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts. By this finding, however, active clonorchiasis cannot be differentiated from cured infection. Some recent radiologic studies suggested specific findings of active clonorchiasis. Besides direct demonstration of worms, increased periductal echogenicity on sonography and periductal enhancement on dynamic contrast-enhanced CT or MR imaging possibly represent active clonorchiasis. Those images of the liver clonorchiasis are known to be correlated with worm burdens (EPG counts) in their frequency and also severity. The images of cholangiocarcinoma associated with clonorchiasis show both the tumor with obstruction images and diffuse dilatation of the peripheral intrahepatic bile ducts. Radiological images can be a good practical alternative diagnostic method of clonorchiasis.
