This test method covers a procedure for measuring particle removal characteristic of equipment fan filter unit(EFFU) installed inside of semiconductor process equipments, FPD manufacturing equipments and so on. Since EFFU is a combination of air filter and the assembly of fan, motor and frame, the integrity of these parts is very important for the performance of EFFU. So a conventional particle removal test method for air filters is not suitable for EFFU particle removal performance. This test method defines an evaluation method for EFFU which is installed inside an enclosed space to remove particles that are generated inside process equipment. The particle removal performance of EFFUs is usually depending on the performance of filter media and air flow rate. To understand a performance of an EFFU, the filter media characteristic, air flow rate and the integrity of EFFU parts should be considered simultaneously. This test method is intended to demonstrate the system performance of an EFFU and successfully evaluated EFFU performance characteristics.

The radiopharmaceuticals are routinely injected to blood vessel for acquiring PET image. For this reason, It is imperative that they undergo strict quality control measures. Especially, Sterility test is more important than any other quality control procedures. According to the FDA guideline, It requires filter integrity test used in the processing of sterile solutions. Among several methods, we can decide to use bubble point test. We usually use vented GS-filters (Millipore co., USA) which are sterilizinggrade (0.22 um pore size) and are placed upper site on product vial. After the synthesis of $^{18}F$-FDG, solutions wet the membrane in filter and then go into the product vial. By all synthesis steps have finished, we can observe the presence of the bubbles in the product vial. Since we have started this study, we have never found any bubbles in the product vial. Because the maximum pressure intensity of the filter which has set by manufacturer is up to 5 bars, but helium gas pressure is up to 1 bar in our module system. So, we can make 5 bars pressure using helium gas bombe and increase pressure up to 5 bars step by step. However, it does not happen to anything in vial.

Reliability is an essential factor in a navigation system. Therefore, an integrity monitoring system is considered one of the most important parts in an avionic navigation system. A fault due to systematic malfunctioning definitely requires integrity reinforcement through systematic analysis. In this paper, we propose a method to detect faults of the GPS signal by using a distributed nonlinear filter based probability test. In order to detect faults, consistency is examined through a likelihood ratio between the main and auxiliary particle filters (PFs). Specifically, the main PF which includes all the measurements and the auxiliary PFs which only do partial measurements are used in the process of consistency testing. Through GPS measurement and the application of the autonomous integrity monitoring system, the current study illustrates the performance of the proposed fault detection algorithm.

This study proposes an improved AR-model based structural joint integrity monitoring method and a new damage sensitive feature using RMS values of impulse responses. The proposed methods were applied for joint integrity monitoring of a model scale 2-bay and 4-story steel frame structure and it was found that the AR coefficients could be more consistently estimated by adopting the band-pass filter and cross-correlation function to the raw acceleration signals and the joint damages could be successfully monitored by the proposed methods.

Measuring displacement response for civil structures is very important for assessing their performance, safety and integrity. Recently, video-based techniques that utilize low-cost high-resolution digital cameras have been developed for such an application. These techniques however have relatively low sampling frequency and the results are usually contaminated with noises. In this study, an integrated visual-inertial measurement method that combines a monocular videogrammetric displacement measurement technique and a collocated accelerometer is proposed for displacement and velocity measurement of civil engineering structures. The monocular videogrammetric technique extracts three-dimensional translation and rotation of a planar target from an image sequence recorded by one camera. The obtained displacement is then fused with acceleration measured from a collocated accelerometer using a multi-rate Kalman filter with smoothing technique. This data fusion not only can improve the accuracy and the frequency bandwidth of displacement measurement but also provide estimate for velocity. The proposed measurement technique is illustrated by a shake table test and a pedestrian bridge test. Results show that the fusion of displacement and acceleration can mitigate their respective limitations and produce more accurate displacement and velocity responses with a broader frequency bandwidth.

Fault detection and isolation (FDI) algorithms provide fault monitoring methods in GPS measurement to isolate abnormal signals from the GPS satellites or the acquired signal in receiver. In order to monitor the occurred faults, FDI generates test statistics and decides the case that is beyond a designed threshold as a fault. For such problem of fault detection and isolation, this paper presents and evaluates position domain integrity monitoring methods by formulating various pseudorange prediction methods and investigating the resulting test statistics. In particular, precise measurements like carrier phase and Doppler rate are employed under the assumption of fault free carrier signal. The presented position domain algorithm contains the following process; first a common pseudorange prediction formula is defined with the proposed variations in pseudorange differential update. Next, a threshold computation is proposed with the test statistics distribution considering the elevation angle. Then, by examining the test statistics, fault detection and isolation is done for each satellite channel. To verify the performance, simulations using the presented fault detection methods are done for an ideal and real fault case, respectively.

발전소와 같은 산업 시설물들은 높은 온도와 압력 등의 환경 하에서 지속적으로 안전하게 동작하는 것이 중요하다. 초음파를 이용한 비파괴 검사는 효율적이고 간편하기 때문에 이러한 시설물의 구조적 결함이나 안전성을 조사하기 위해 널리 이용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 불 균일한 배질의 산란 입자들에 의해 생기는 스펙클 잡음을 제거하기 위하여 웨이브렛 변환 평면(wavelet transform domain)에서 LMS 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 사용한 신호의 통계적 특성을 알기 위하여 RUN 테스트를 수행하여 신호가 비정상성을 나타냄을 보였고, WTLMS 알고리즘을 사용하여 잡음을 제거한 후 입력 자기상관 행렬의 condition number 및 독립 입력과 지연된 입력 각각에 대한 출력의 신호 대 잡음비, 그리고 3차원 영상의 관점에서 LMS 알고리즘과 비교하였다. 실험 결과 웨이브렛 변환 평면에서 LMS 알고리즘을 이용해 수행한 결과가 시평면에서 수행한 결과보다 우수한 성능을 나타내었다.

원전의 1차 계통 건전성 확보를 위한 일환으로서 초음파 검사 방법은 매우 중요하다. 그러나, 초음파는 검사 대상제의 내부 구조 및 형상에 따라 검사의 제한을 받으므로 결정립이 큰 재질에서 후방 산란 잡음 즉 시 불변성(time invariant) 잡음이 발생한다. 이로 인하여 수신 신호는 낮은 신호 대 잡음비의 결과로 나타나게 된다. 주파수 대역 분할 방식(split spectrum processing:SSP) 기술은 이와 같은 잡음을 억제하는데 효율적이다. 그러나, 종래의 SSP 기술은 minization, PT 알고리즘중 한 알고리즘만 적용하였으나 본 논문에서는 이두 가지 알고리즘을 동시에 처리하는 MPO(minimization and polarity threshold)알고리즘을 적용하고, 주파수 대 대역폭비가 일정한 FIR 여파기로서 새로운 constant-Q SSP를 수행하여 신호처리 시간을 단축하였다. 현장 검사 요건과 동일하게 종파와 횡파에도 일부 적용하였다. 한편, 이러한 새로운 SSP 기술을 적용할 수 있도록 초음파 탐상기를 설계 제작하였고, 시험편들의 준비는 원전 모재 대비시험편, 모재와 동일한 재질의 스테인레스 스틸 및 구리 시험편들이며, 이들 시험편으로 부터 초음파 신호를 수집하여 본 신호 처리를 적용한 결고 신호 대 잡음비가 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

복합 소재는 금속보다 가벼운 특성을 가져 경량화가 필수인 항공 산업에 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만 복합소재는 생산 공정 중 내부 보이드 형성, 접착제 혼합 불량, 미접착 부분 발생 등 결함 요소가 발생할 수 있고, 저 에너지 충격에 의한 미세균열 및 층간분리가 발생할 위험이 있다. 그러므로 구조물 손상검사가 필수적으로 요구된다. 이에 FBG를 이용한 구조 건전성 모니터링이 주목받고 있다. FBG는 기존의 전기적 센서에 비해 전기적 노이즈 영향을 받지 않고 부식에 강하며 멀티플렉싱이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 하지만 FBG를 계측하는 인터로게이터는 대형 구조물 계측을 전제로 만들었기 때문에 가격이 고가이며, 크기가 큰 단점이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 광 스위치와 WDM필터, LTF를 이용해 무인항공기나 소형항공기에 사용할 수 있도록 저가형 인터로게이터를 설계하여, 기존의 고가 인터로게이터와 비교를 진행하였다.

It is important to obtain semen with good quality for efficient fertilization and pregnancy. To obtain these semen, various methods have been developed but most of these methods are time consuming and require costly equipment. Therefore, the objective of this research is to investigate the usability of column filtration system as quick and simple method to get sperm with better quality. Ejaculates were obtained from 5 dogs and analyzed with basic quality parameters before each filtration. Sperm concentration was adjusted to $5{\times}10^7/ml$ after dilution. The experimental groups were divided into non-filtered group(control) and filtered groups(glass wool, Sephadex 5% and Sephadex 20%). Ejaculates were filtered through each filter system and assessed by recovery rate of sperm, motility, normal morphology, CFDA/PI stain and plasma membrane integrity(hypo-osmotic swelling test, HOST). The lowest recovery rate of spermatozoa was recorded in glass wool filtration group, followed by 20% Sephadex filtration group(p<0.05). There was no significant difference between control(non-filtered) and 5% Sephadex filtration poop. Also, there was no significant difference of sperm motility assessed under light microscope among experimental groups. Morphological normality of canine spermatozoa was the highest in the glass wool filtration group and the lowest in the 5% Sephadex filtration group with no significant differences versus 20% Sephadex filtration and control group, respectively(p<0.05). Viability of canine sperm assessed by CFCA/PI staining was the highest in the glass wool filtration poop with no significant difference versus the control group, and the lowest in the 20% Sephadex filtration group with no significant difference versus 5% Sephadex filtration group, respectively(p<0.05). HOS values of canine sperm was the highest in the 20% Sephadex filtration group with no significant difference versus 5% Sephadex filtration group, and the lowest in the control poop with no significant difference versus glass wool filtration group, respectively(p<0.05). Therefore, these results indicated that filtration treatment for extended canine sperm would be useful method to get sperm with better quality by trapping the damaged sperm, consequently filter would be physical barrier against injured or immotile sperm.
