In order to broaden the indication of middle ear implant, research has been actively conducted on the reverse output method that stimulates the round window. However, it is very difficult to transmit the vibration output effectively because the indivisual anatomical difference of the round window niche is very large and also the visual field is not secured even by a skilled otolaryngologic surgeon. In this paper, we propose a new reverse stimulation method of middle ear implants that transmits energy to the inner ear by using air as a medium. This can compensate for the disadvantages of the conventional method of transmitting vibration energy and minimizes the energy transfer efficiency interference due to the combination of the excitation point and the output device. It was shown that forward and backward transfer characteristics were obtained by cadaveric experiments, and it was shown that it can overcome the acoustical impedance of high round window and transmit energy to inner ear. The receiver, which is the output device of the conventional hearing aids, can generate a constant volume velocity, so it can have a high output at a limited volume, such as a round window niche. So, suggested method can overcome the high acoustical impedance of the round window and deliver acoustic energy to the inner ear.

Recently, many researches have shown that even photosynthetic light-harvesting pigment-protein complexes can have quantum coherence in their excitonic energy transfer at cryogenic and physiological temperatures. Because the protein supplies such noisy environment around pigments that conventional wisdom expects very short lived quantum coherence, elucidating the mechanism and searching for an applicability of the coherence have become an interesting topic in both experiment and theory. We have previously studied the quantum coherence of a phycocyanin 645 complex in a marine algae harvesting light system, using Poisson mapping bracket equation (PBME). PBME is one of the applicable methods for solving quantum-classical Liouville equation, for following the dynamics of such pigment-protein complexes. However, it may suffer from many defects mostly from mapping quantum degrees of freedom into classical ones. To make improvements against such defects, benchmarking targets with more accurately described dynamics is highly needed. Here, we fall back to reduced hierarchical equation of motion (HEOM), for such a purpose. Even though HEOM is known to applicable only to simplified system that is coupled to a set of harmonic oscillators, it can provide ultimate accuracy within the regime of quantum-classical description, thus providing perfect benchmark targets for certain systems. We compare the evolution of the density matrix of pigment excited states by HEOM against the PBME results at physiological temperature, and observe more sophisticated changes of density matrix elements from HEOM. In PBME, the population of states with intermediate energies display only monotonically increasing behaviors. Most importantly, PBME suffers a serious issue of wrong population in the long time limit, likely generated by the zero-point energy leaking problem. Future prospects for developments are briefly discussed as a concluding remark.

본 연구에서는 1995년 고베 지진에 의해 손상을 입은 강 거더 교량에 대해 비선형 지진해석을 수행하였다. 해석수행을 위해 휨-축력 및 휨-전단-축력간의 상호작용을 모사할 수 있는 이력모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 이력모델은 힌지모델 형태로 구조해석 프로그램에 조인트 요소로 연결한 후, 힌지모델 사용한 간편한 해석기법을 교량 교각에 적용하였다. 휨-축력 상호작용을 고려한 해석결과는 상세한 화이버 요소 해석결과와 비교하였고, 좋은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 또한, 휨-축력-전단 상호작용을 고려한 해석결과는 지진하중을 받는 교각의 변위 요소별 검토가 가능하여 교각의 전체 변위성능 분석에 유용하게 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

일반 위상배열 시스템에서는 다수의 압전소자를 가지는 탐촉자의 개별 소자에 인가하는 시간지연을 조절함으로써 초음파빔을 전자적으로 제어하고 초음파 영상을 획득한다. 반면, full matrix capture(FMC) 기술은 위상배열 탐촉자에 대해 하나의 소자에서 초음파를 입사시킨 신호를 모든 압전소자에서 수신하고, 이 방법으로 모든 가능한 송수신 조합의 신호 데이터를 수집하는 방법이다. 이 FMC 데이터는 후처리를 통해 초음파 영상으로 재구성될 수 있으며, 기존 위상배열 초음파 영상과 동등한 영상뿐만 아니라 가상적으로 관심영역의 모든 지점에 집속하여 분해능과 선명도가 향상된 total focusing method(TFM) 영상으로도 합성이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 일반 위상배열장치를 이용하여 FMC가 가능하도록 시스템을 구현하고, 취득된 FMC 신호로부터 sector B-scan 및 TFM 이미지를 영상화하는 알고리즘에 대한 연구를 수행하였다.

The theory of the current-type electromagnetic flowmeter for a high temporal resolution was developed for two-phase flow measurements. To predict the output of the current-type flowmeter, the three-dimensional virtual potential distribution C and the newly introduced flow pattern coefficient f were derived and computed. The output of flowmeter depends on the liquid conductivity (sensitive to temperature) and flow configurations of the two-phase flow with the sinusoidal excitation over 100 Hz. The flow pattern coefficient was specially devised to separate the dependency on the flow configuration of the two-phase flow from that on the liquid conductivity which can be expressed with the calibration of single-phase flow. Using the finite difference method, the three-dimensional virtual potential distributions were computed for the electrode of finite size. By taking derivative of the virtual potential, the weight functions were evaluated and compared with existing analytic series solution for the point-electrode. There was a reasonable correspondence between the present and existing results. In addition, the flow pattern coefficients were evaluated for annular flows with various film thicknesses, and compared with the experimental results by the impedance spectroscopy. The numerical results agreed well with the experimental data.

스위치드 리럭턴스 모터(Switched Relutance Motor : 이하 SRM)는 이중 돌극형으로 되어있으며, 상권선은 고정자만 사용한다. 다른 어느 전동기보다도 간단한 구조를 가지고 있어 제작단가가 저렴하고, 기계적으로 견고하며, 고온 등의 열악한 환경에서도 신뢰성이 높으며, 브러쉬 등이 없어 유지비가 거의 들지 않는 장점을 지니고 있다. 그러나 SRM은 상여자를 위하여 회전자의 위치정보를 알아야하므로 위치 검출기가 필요하고, 정속도 운전을 위하여 타코 발전기나 엔코더가 부가적으로 필요하다. 그러나 본 논문에서는 회전자의 속도측정을 얻기 위하여 고가의 엔코더를 사용하지 않고, 단지 간단한 슬롯 디스크로부터 위치를 검출하여 속도를 추정할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제시하고 개발하였다. 속도 추정 알고리즘을 적용한 가변속 디지털 제어시스템을 구현하기 위하여 TI사의 TMS320F240-20MIPS 고정 소수점 연산용 프로세서를 사용하였다. 개발한 시스템을 실험한 결과 넓은 범위에 걸쳐 속도제어가 가능하였고, 단일 펄스모드, 하드 쵸핑모드 및 소프트 쵸핑모드 뿐만 아니라, 전류제어 동작모드에서 가변속 제어가 가능하였다. 그리고 어드밴스각 제어가 가능하였다.

The ride quality investigation is on-going topic in the car industry since its global standard has not evaluated and it is difficult to point out one part that hinders the ride quality. Since the traditional transfer path analysis that is widely used in car industry to investigate the ride quality requires a lot of test time to process the full data so that there are problems to conduct in industry. Based on these disadvantages, new approaches have developed such as OPAX(operational path analysis with eXogeneous inputs) and OTPA(operational transfer path analysis) for last decades. The OTPA only requires the operational data for evaluate the contribution of vibration sources and the OPAX has advantage of using parametric model to estimate the operating load and needs a minimum set of extra tests with excitation. In this paper, for evaluating the hindrance of ride quality two methods are used and the result is compared with another result of a car having higher ride quality.

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is classified into the propagating surface plasmon (PSP) excited on flat metal surfaces and the local surface plasmon (LSP) excited by metalnanoparticles. It is known that fluorescence signals are enhanced by these two SPR-fields.On the other hand, fluorescence is quenched by the energy transfer to metal (FRET). Bothphenomena are controlled by the distance between dyes and metals, and the degree offluorescence enhancement is determined by the correlation. In this study, we determined thecondition to achieve the maximum fluorescence enhancement by adjusting the distance of ametal nanoparticle 2D sheet and a quantum dots 2D sheet by the use of $SiO_2$ spacer layers. The 2D sheets consisting of myristate-capped Ag nanoparticles (AgMy nanosheets) wereprepared at the air-water interface and transferred onto hydrophobized gold thin films basedon the Langmuir-Schaefer (LS) method [1]. The $SiO_2$ sputtered films with different thickness (0~100 nm) were deposited on the AgMy nanosheet as an insulator. TOPO-cappedCdSe/CdZnS/ZnS quantum dots (QDs, ${\lambda}Ex=638nm$) [2] were also transferred onto the $SiO_2$ films by the LS method. The layered structure is schematically shown in Fig. 1. The result of fluorescence measurement is shown in Fig. 2. Without the $SiO_2$ layer, the fluorescence intensity of the layered QD film was lower than that of the original QDs layer, i.e., the quenching by FRET was predominant. When the $SiO_2$ thickness was increased, the fluorescence intensity of the layered QD film was higher than that of the original QDs layer, i.e., the SPR enhancement was predominant. The fluorescence intensity was maximal at the $SiO_2$ thickness of 20 nm, particularly when the LSPR absorption wavelength (${\lambda}=480nm$) was utilized for the excitation. This plasmonic nanosheet can be integrated intogreen or bio-devices as the creation point ofenhanced LSPR field.
