본 논문에서는 ATSC DTV 시스템에서 독립적인 궤환간섭 제거기(Feedback Interference Canceller: FIC)를 가지는 등화형 디지털 동일채널 중계기(Equalization Digital On-Channel Repeater: EDOCR)의 궤환간섭 제거 성능 향상을 위한 새로운 구조의 FIC를 제안한다. FIC는 기준신호와 궤환되는 신호의 상관관계를 이용하여 궤환채널을 추정하는데, ATSC DTV 방송 신호는 신호의 상관관계 특성을 저해하는 DC 파일럿을 포함하고 있으므로 FIC로 하여금 정확한 궤환채널 추정을 수행하지 못하게 한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, EDOCR과 FIC의 결합 구조에 기반하여 EDOCR에서 신호 재변조 시 DC 파일럿을 포함하지 않는 기준신호를 추가적으로 생성하여 궤환채널 추정에 사용하는 DC 파일럿 없는 기준신호 기반 FIC와 디지털 신호처리를 통해 입력신호들을 백색화하여 DC 파일럿을 제거한 후 궤환채널을 추정하는 백색화된 신호 영역 FIC를 제안한다. 모의실험을 통해, 제안된 두 FIC 구조 모두 기존의 상관관계 제거형 FIC에 비해 우수한 궤환간섭 제거 성능을 가짐을 보인다.

Purpose: To determine whether responses to serotonin are altered in bladder strips from cats diagnosed with a naturally occurring form of bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis termed feline interstitial cystitis (FIC). Methods: Full thickness bladder strips were isolated from aged matched healthy control cats and cats with clinically verified FIC. Bladder strips were mounted in an organ bath and connected to a tension transducer to record contractile activity. A serotonin dose response ($0.01-10{\mu}M$) was determined for each strip with the mucosa intact or denuded. Results: Bladder strips from control and FIC cats contracted in response to serotonin in a dose-dependent manner. The normalized force of serotonin-evoked contractions was significantly greater in bladder strips from cats with FIC (n=7) than from control cats (n=4). Removal of the mucosa significantly decreased serotonin-mediated responses in both control and FIC bladder preparations. Furthermore, the contractions in response to serotonin were abolished by $1{\mu}M$ atropine in both control and FIC bladder strips. Conclusions: The effect of serotonin on contractile force, but not sensitivity, was potentiated in bladder strips from cats with FIC, and was dependent upon the presence of the mucosa in control and FIC groups. As atropine inhibited these effects of serotonin, we hypothesize that, serotonin enhances acetylcholine release from the mucosa of FIC cat bladder strips, which could account for the increased force generated. In summary, FIC augments the responsiveness of bladder to serotonin, which may contribute to the symptoms associated with this chronic condition.

본 논문에서는 ATSC 지상파 DTV 시스템의 단일 주파수 망 구성을 위한 궤환간섭 제거기(Feedback Interference Canceller: FIC)를 가지는 등화형 디지털 동일채널 중계기(Equalization Digital On-Channel Repeater: EDOCR)를 제안한다. 제안된 FIC를 가지는 EDOCR은 송/수신 안테나의 충분치 못한 분리도로 인해 야기된 궤환신호를 FIC를 통해 제거함으로써 송신출력을 높일 뿐만 아니라, 등화기를 통하여 송신기와 중계기 간 다중경로 신호 및 잔존하는 궤환신호를 제거하여 기존의 동일채널 중계기 보다 우수한 출력신호 품질을 보장한다. 또한, 본 논문에서는 전산실험을 통해 FIC를 가지는 EDOCR의 성능의 우수성을 검증한다.

The FIC(Flat Integrated Circuits)is widely used for good productivity but very difficult for visual identification. The required position tolerance is 0.05mm and orientation tolerance is 0.25 degree for assembly. The research was performed to detect FIC defects and to estimate the placement of FIC within the tolerances. In this study an automatic visual system is developed, which can successfully perform a fine assembly operation using the cartesian robot.

T-DMB는 유럽의 Eureka-147 DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) 표준을 바탕으로 멀티미디어 방송이 가능하도록 표준을 추가하여 만든 서비스로 이동 중에 동영상 시청, 고품질오디오 청취, 교통정보서비스(TPEG) 등의 서비스를 제공하고 있다. T-DMB 전송 프레임은 SC 채널, FIC 채널, MSC 채널로 구성된다. 비디오, 오디오, 데이터와 같은 서비스는 MSC 채널에서 서브채널 형태로 전송되며 FIC 채널은 각 서비스와 서브채널에 관련된 정보를 전달한다. 본 연구에서는 학부, 대학원 및 교육원들에서 교육되고 있는 지상파 DMB (T-DMB) 시스템과 관련하여 T-DMB 수신기에서 수신한 T-DMB 전송 프레임을 PC로 전달하여 PC 상에서 수신된 T-DMB 전송 프레임을 분석하고 비쥬얼하게 나타내어 줌으로 T-DMB 시스템의 이해를 돕고 학습동기를 유발할 수 있도록 T-DMB 전송 프레임 분석 시뮬레이터를 C++를 이용하여 개발하고 이를 실험하였다.

This paper presents the algorithm of FIC inspection in chip mounter. When device is mounted on the PCB, it is impossible to get zero defects since there are many problems which can not be predicted. Of these problems, devices with bent corner leads due to mis-handling and which are not placed at a given point measured along the axis are principal problem in SMT(Surface Mounting Technology). In this paper, we proposed a new algorithm based on the Radon transform which uses a projection to inspect the FIC(Flat Integrated Circuit) device and compared this method with other algorithms. We measured the position error and applied this algorithm to our image processing board which is characterized by line scan camera. We compared speed and accuracy in our board.

Cytotoxicity assessment of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was performed using MTT-based microfluidic image cytometry (${\mu}FIC$). The $LC_{50}$ value of HeLa cells exposed to AgNPs in the microfluidic device was estimated as 46.7 mg/L, which is similar to that estimated by MTT-based IC for cells cultured in a 96 well plate (49.9 mg/L). These results confirm that the ${\mu}FIC$ approach can produce cytotoxicity data that is reasonably well-matched with that of the conventional 96 well plate system with much higher efficiency. This ${\mu}FIC$ method provides many benefits including ease of use and low cost, and is a more rapid in vitro cell based assay for AgNPs. This may aid in speeding up data acquisition in the field of nanosafety and make a significant contribution to the quantitative understanding of nanoproperty-toxicity relationships.

In an effort to discover alternative antimicrobials against Listeria monocytogenes, several marine algae were screened. The methanolic extract of Ecklonia cava exhibited the highest antibacterial activity against L. monocytogenes, with the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) soluble fraction of E. cava methanolic extract having a MIC value of $256{\mu}g/mL$ and a MBC value of ${\mu}g/mL$. The MIC values of streptomycin in combination with the EtOAc fraction were markedly reduced up to 64-fold, suggesting that the antibacterial activity of the antibiotic was restored when combined with the EtOAc fraction. The interaction between streptomycin and the EtOAc fraction was assessed by fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) indices. The combination of streptomycin and the EtOAc fraction against L. monocytogenes resulted in ${\Sigma}FIC_{min}$ range of 0.141 to 0.266 and ${\Sigma}FIC_{max}$ of 0.531 for all strains. The median ${\Sigma}FIC$ against L. monocytogenes strains ranged from 0.172 to 0.344. Thus, synergistic ranges of FIC <1 were observed for all combinations of streptomycin and the EtOAc fraction against L. monocytogenes strains. Indeed, the median ${\Sigma}FIC$ of streptomycin-EtOAc fraction ranged from 0.172 to 0.344, suggesting a marked synergy.

The stability of low-speed spinning process exhibiting spinline flow-induced crystallization (FIC) with no neck-like spinline deformation has been investigated using the method of linear stability analysis. Effects of various process conditions such as fluid viscoelasticity and the spinline cooling on the spinning stability have been found closely related to the development of the spinline crystallinity. It also has been found that the FIC makes the system less stable or more unstable than no FIC cases when the spinline crystallinity reaches its maximum possible value, whereas the FIC generally stabilizes the system if the crystallinity doesn't reach its maximum value on the spinline. It is believed that the destabilizing effect of the FIC on low-speed spinning when the crystallinity is fully developed on the spinline is due to the reduction of the real spinning length available for deformation on the spinline. On the other hand, the increased spinline tension caused by the FIC when the maximum crystallinity is not reached on the spinline and thus no reduction in the spinning length occurs, makes the sensitivity of spinline variables to external disturbances smaller and hence stabilizes the system. These linear stability results are consistent with the findings by nonlinear transient simulation, as first reported by Lee et al. (2005b).

임상에서 사용하고 있는 8종의 항우식 작용을 갖는 항균물질의 조합이 대표적 우식유발 세균인 Streptococcus mutans Ingbritt와 Streptococcus sobrinus 6715-7의 성장에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 세균별로 28개 조합의 각 항균물질에서 최소 저해 농도와 분할 저해 농도 지수를 구하여 여러 기준에 따라 상승작용, 길항작용, 무관함, 부분적 상호작용 등을 각각 평가하였다. 미국 미생물 학회의 지침에 따라 분류하면 약 34%의 조합에서 상승작용이 관찰되었고 Berenbaum의 분류에 따르면 약 82%에서 상승작용을 갖는다고 해석할 수 있었다. 또한 Isenberg가 정의한 부분적 상승작용은 총 조합수의 절반에서 관찰되었다. 분류기준에 따라 다양한 결과를 얻을 수 있었으나 두 가지 항균물질의 조합이 우식유발 세균을 억제하는데 상승작용을 나타내는 경향이 존재함을 관찰할 수 있었고 따라서 우식유발세균을 억제하는데 있어서 항균물질의 단독 사용보다 세균의 생태와 대사의 여러 부분에 영향을 미치는 항균물질의 조합은 유용할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
