  • 초음파장비는 인체 병변의 유무를 검사하는 의료장비로서 정확한 의료영상정보를 제공해야 한다. 의료용 초음파장비 성능측정을 위해 초음파팬텀(ATS-539)의 측정방법과 기준으로 대구지역 의료기관의 초음파장비 성능의 실태를 알아보고, 초음파팬텀을 이용한 장비성능검사의 기본 자료를 제시하고자 한다. 초음파팬텀의 측정방법과 기준인 불응영역, 수직거리정확성측정, 수평거리정확성측정, 축방향/측 해상도, 민감도, 회색조 및 동적범위를 사용하였다. 그리고 국소영역, 기능적 해상도를 추가해서 총 8개 항목으로 측정하고 평가하였다. 결과분석을 위해 평균, 표준편차, 빈도 및 백분율을 제시하였고, Mann-Whiney test와 t-test를 실시하였으며, 유의수준은 0.05로 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 초음파팬텀 측정결과는 총 35대 중 합격은 31대 88.6%, 불합격은 4대 11.4%였다. 2. 합격기준이 제시되지 않은 국소영역과 기능적 해상도 4 mm가 통계적으로 유의하게 합격군과 불합격군간의 평균의 차이가 있었다. 3. 불합격한 장비의 평균 사용연수는 7.25년으로 합격한 장비 4.13년보다 차이가 있었다. 대구지역내 임상에 실제 사용되는 의료용 초음파장비의 성능 실태를 파악해 보았고, 합격기준이 제시되지 않은 2항목에 대한 기초자료를 제시하였다. 초음파장비 사용연한이 장비성능과 관계가 있었다. 의료용 초음파장비 성능검사를 위한 초음파팬텀측정은 장비의 최적의 성능 유지를 위하여 제도적인 대책 마련이 필요하다.

  • Construction operations generate a significant amount of air pollutant emissions, including carbon emissions. The environmental performance of construction operations is closely relevant to the operational efficiency of each resource employed, which indicates how efficiently each resource (e.g., construction equipment) is utilized. In this context, monitoring the operational efficiency of construction equipment provides key information in managing and improving the environmental performance and productivity of construction operations. In this paper, we report our efforts to measure the operational efficiency of construction equipment, using low-cost accelerometers. An experimental study and real-world case studies are conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach. The results have shown the potential of this approach as an economically feasible means of monitoring the environmental performance of construction operations.

  • In order to find out the management and sanitation status of protective gear provided at the construction site, a case study and survey were conducted by visiting the site. As a result of the case study, inspection and management, disinfection, and storage of protective equipment were insufficient in both workplaces with less than 50 employees and workplaces with more than 100 employees. As a result of the survey, workers(66.2%), said they did not know how to identify hard hats(67.6.%), how to identify bad hard hats(60.8%), and how to identify bad safety belts (73.0%), even though workers(66.2%) were educated on protective gear, and those in charge of protective gear Non-specified(56.8%), regular inspection of the provided protective equipment was not performed(82.4%), and disinfection was not performed(90.5%). Therefore, as a management plan to maintain the performance of personal protective equipment, educational aspects, regular training on protective equipment, training on how to identify defective protective equipment, management of recording papers, technical aspects, strengthening of standards for placement of dedicated safety managers in small workplaces, participation of workers' representatives when selecting protective equipment, and selection of protective equipment for workers Providing opportunities, administrative aspects of protective equipment regulation and management, introduction of sanitary and cleanliness system, and selection of personnel in charge of protective equipment management were suggested.

  • 현재 국내의 침윤소화약제 기술기준은 표면장력에 대한 기준만 존재하여 이를 통한 약제의 성능평가는 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 침윤소화약제의 성능평가 기법을 제시하기 위해 축소모형 실험 장치를 통한 최적화된 성능평가 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구는 해외 기준인 NFPA 18의 실험과 자체 제작된 축소모형 실험 장치를 이용한 실험의 결과 비교분석을 통해 자체 제작 축소모형 실험 장치실험 결과의 타당성을 규명하고자 한다. 목화솜을 대상으로 침투성능만을 평가하는 NFPA 18 실험과 목분을 대상으로 침투성능과 소화성능을 모두 평가하는 축소모형 실험을 비교분석한 결과 NFPA 18의 실험과 자체 제작 축소모형 실험에서 모두 소화용수의 침투성에 관한 변별력을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 자체 제작 축소모형 실험에서는 T/C를 통한 내부온도 측정을 통해 보다 명확한 변별력을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

  • Functional safety is part of the overall safety relating to the equipment under control (EUC) and the EUC control system that depends on the correct functioning of the electrical/electronic/programmable electronic (E/E/PE) safety-related systems. Since the complexity of the medical equipment is increased, manufactures have to obtain functional safety as well as basic safety. This study proposes a perspective for applying functional safety to medical equipment. The research is carried out with respect to overall safety life-cycle of functional safety and essential performance of the medical equipment. The relationship between functional safety and essential performance is identified centered on the safety function. The essential performance using E/E/PE systems is defined as a safety function of functional safety. This approach is applied to a ultrasound imaging system as a case study.

  • Modern electronic circuits are becoming more vulnerable to damage by surges, and it is required to improve the impulse withstand voltage performance of electrical and electronic equipment. This paper presents the impulse withstand voltage performance of lighting equipment connected to power lines, and the impulse withstand voltage tests for fluorescent lamp, LED lamp and halogen lamp were carried out according to the reference standards under normal service conditions. To conduct performance tests against lightning surge, a combination wave ($1.2/50{\mu}s$ voltage - $8/20{\mu}s$ current) was employed. The test surge was applied between lines or between line and ground of the specimen to be measured. The test surge was applied synchronized at the peak value of the positive and negative AC voltage waves. As a consequence, some specimens satisfied the impulse withstand voltage test criteria, but lighting equipment such as 36W fluorescent lamps, 5W and 5.5W LED lamps and 50W halogen lamp were damaged at the test voltage levels between power lines. It is needed to improve the qualities of lighting equipment to satisfy EMC immunity requirements of equipment for general lighting purposes.

  • In the case of nuclear power plants near end of their design life, a reassessment of the performance of safetyrelated equipment may be necessary to determine whether to shut down or extend the operation of the power plant. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the level of performance decline due to degradation. Electrical cabinets, including MCC and switchgear, are representative safety-related equipment. Several studies have assessed the degradation and seismic performance of nuclear power plant equipment. Most of those researches are limited to individual components due to the size of safety-related equipment and test equipment. However, only a few studies assessed the degradation performance of electrical cabinets. The equipment of various nuclear power plants is anchored to concrete foundations, and crack in concrete foundations is one of the most representative of degradation that could be visually confirmed. However, it is difficult to find a study for analysis through testing the effect of cracks in concrete foundations on the response of electrical cabinet internal equipment fixed by anchors. In this study, using a simple cabinet model considering cast-in-place anchor in uncracked and cracked concretes, a tri-axial shaking table tests were performed and the seismic behavior were observed.
