  • Background: The physician's hands are close to the X-ray field in C-arm fluoroscopy-guided pain interventions. We prospectively investigated the radiation attenuation of Proguard RR-2 gloves. Methods: In 100 cases, the effective doses (EDs) of two dosimeters without a radiation-reducing glove were collected. EDs from the two dosimeters-one dosimeter wrapped with a glove and the other dosimeter without a glove-were also measured at the side of the table (Group 1, 140 cases) and at a location 20 cm away from the side of the table (Group 2, 120 cases). Mean differences such as age, height, weight, radiation absorbed dose (RAD), exposure time, ED, and ratio of EDs were analyzed. Results: In the EDs of two dosimeters without gloves, there were no significant differences ($39.0{\pm}36.3{\mu}Sv$ vs. $38.8{\pm}36.4{\mu}Sv$) (P = 0.578). The RAD ($192.0{\pm}182.0radcm^2$) in Group 2 was higher than that ($132.3{\pm}103.5radcm^2$) in Group 1 (P = 0.002). The ED ($33.3{\pm}30.9{\mu}Sv$) of the dosimeter without a glove in Group 1 was higher than that ($12.3{\pm}8.8{\mu}Sv$) in Group 2 (P < 0.001). The ED ($24.4{\pm}22.4{\mu}Sv$) of the dosimeter wrapped with a glove in Group 1 was higher than that ($9.2{\pm}6.8{\mu}Sv$) in Group 2 (P < 0.001). No significant differences were noted in the ratio of EDs ($73.5{\pm}6.7%$ vs. $74.2{\pm}9.3%$, P = 0.469) between Group 1 and Group 2. Conclusions: Proguard RR-2 gloves have a radiation attenuation effect of 25.8-26.5%. The radiation attenuation is not significantly different by intensity of scatter radiation or the different RADs of C-arm fluoroscopy.

  • An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) has a low pressure drop and a high collection efficiency but its collection efficiency can be reduced due to dust accumulation on the collection plates during long-term operations. In order to maintain the initial dust collection efficiency, it is necessary to periodically clean the collection plates. The common cleaning methods are using physical impacts or water sprays. These cleaning methods can lead to damage to the collection plate or generate wastewater. Herein, we implemented an electrodynamic screen (EDS) for ESP cleaning and evaluated its surface cleaning performance of particles. The EDS is an electrostatic system that can electrostatically repel particles on surfaces, allowing it to clean the ESP without causing damage and wastewater generation. Our evaluation included the analysis of the effects of AC voltage characteristics, electrode configuration and environmental conditions on the cleaning performance of the EDS with the aim of achieving effective surface cleaning. It has been demonstrated that activating the EDS cleans up to 65% of the particles on the surface, which indicates about 94% of our target cleaning zone.

  • 본 논문에서는 나로호(KSLV-I) 비행상태의 실시간 감시를 목적으로 국내에서는 처음 개발된 우주센터 원격수신자료전시시스템(EDS)의 구축과 운용을 소개한다. EDS는 우주센터 발사통제시스템의 주요 시스템 중 하나이고 그 역할은 위성발사체의 비행에 중대한 영향을 주는 주요정보(QLM)와 궤적정보(TSPI)를 수신하여 실시간으로 처리함으로써 탑재 서브시스템별 전문가들이 위성발사체의 비행 상태를 감시할 수 있도록 지원하는 것이다. EDS는 3회에 걸친 나로호 비행시험에서 그 역할에 따라 매회 8대가 운영되었으며 임무를 성공적으로 수행하였다. 본 시스템을 기반으로 추후 발전된 형태의 한국형발사체(KSLV-II) 비행상태의 실시간 감시시스템의 구축이 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

  • 초고압 변전소의 주요설비인 가스절연개폐장치(GIS: Gas Insulated Switchgear)의 신뢰도를 높이기 위해서는 절연체 내부에서 발생하는 부분방전을 사전에 진단하여 예방을 하는 것이 중요하다. 현재 이에 대한 진단장치 개발이 이루어지고 있으며 GIS On-line System 장치 및 휴대용 진단장비가 국내에서 제작되고 있으나 On-line System은 고가의 비용이 들고 휴대용 진단장비는 상시감시가 어렵다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해서 본 연구내용에서는 저가이면서 상시 PD 감시능력을 가진 PD 카운터에 대해 설명하고 GIS 현장에 실제 적용한 자료와 휴대용 진단장비와 함께 비교 적용한 자료를 가지고 PD 카운터의 특성을 확인하는데 역점을 두었다.

  • Considerations for user-centric environments are regarded as essential for the successful deployment of convergence services in BcN. Event driven service (EDS) is regarded as a typical convergence service converging different functions of multiple service providers to support user-centric environments. This paper first describes the deployment model and service scenario of EDS, a convergence service for user-centric environments in BcN. The user-centric environments stimulates the unified identifier management, namely unified identification (U-ID), to enable users to be provided convergence services without awareness of multiple providers. Then the designed structure and implementation results are given.

  • tisue disease of dog and cat, resembling Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) in man. EDS is characterizedby loose, hyperextensible and, fragile skin, it is attributed to mutations in connective tisue gene. Thesemutations cause defects in type I or II collagen synthesis and as a result lack of strength or elasticityto skin, joint, ligament and vessels. EDS-affected animals often experience subcutaneous hematomas thathave long bleeding times. The 4-years old male Yorkshire terrier was evaluated because of subcutaneoushematoma after stifle surgery. Clinical examination revealed a thin and hyperextensible skin and jointlaxity. The degree of skin extensibility index was 23.4%, marked skin stretchy. Clinical diagnosis wasconfirmed by histophathological examination of a skin biopsy revealing reduced packing density ofcollagen fiber of skin.

  • It takes 2 or 3 months to manufacture memory device. Defect has to exist owing to hundreds of processes. If there are too many defects, the memory has to be rejected. But if there are a few defects, it will be more efficient and cost reducing for the company to use it by repairing. Therefore, laser-repair process is needed for such a reason and redundancy analysis is needed to establish correct target of laser-repair process. The equipment development company had provided the redundancy analysis and each development company had developed and provided separately. So, to analyze the similar type of defects, redundancy analysis time can be very different by the manufacture. The purpose of this research is to strengthen the competitive price and to apply correlation concept in business for reducing the redundancy analysis time to repair the defects

  • This paper presents the numerical simulation results on the moving type electrodynamic suspension (EDS) simulator. Superconducting EDS system is generated by the interaction between the magnetic field made by the induced the eddy current in the ground conductor and the moving magnetic field made by onboard superconducting magnet. The levitation force of EDS system, which is proportional to the strength of the moving magnetic field, becomes saturated according to the increase of the velocity Especially, the levitation force is influenced by the structure of HTS magnet and ground conductor. The 3-D numerical analysis with FEM was used to find the distribution of the magnetic field, the optimal coil structure, and the calculation of the levitation force.

  • Here we show how by processing energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) data obtained using highly sensitive, new generation EDS detectors in the AZtec LayerProbe software we can obtain data of sufficiently high quality to non-destructively measure the number of layers in two-dimensional (2D) $MoS_2$ and $MoS_2/WSe_2$ and thereby enable the characterization of working devices based on 2D materials. We compare the thickness measurements with EDS to results from atomic force microscopy measurements. We also show how we can use electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) to address fabrication challenges of 2D materials. Results from EBSD analysis of individual flakes of exfoliated $MoS_2$ obtained using the Nordlys Nano detector are shown to aid a better understanding of the exfoliation process which is still widely used to produce 2D materials for research purposes.
