A readout circuit for a mercury-cadmium-telluride (MCT)-amplified mid-wave infrared (IR) photodetector was realized and applied to noncontact chemical agent detectors based on a quantum cascade laser (QCL). The QCL emitted 250 times for each wavelength in 0.2-㎛ steps from 8 to 12 ㎛ with a frequency of 100 kHz and duty ratio of 10%. Because of the nonconstant QCL emission power during on-duty, averaging the photodetector signals is essential. Averaging can be performed in digital back-end processing through a high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) or in analog front-end processing through an integrator circuit. In addition, it should be considered that the 250 IR data points should be completely transferred to a PC during each wavelength tuning period of the QCL. To average and minimize the IR data, we designed a readout circuit using the analog front-end processing method. The proposed readout circuit consisted of a switched-capacitor integrator, voltage level shifter, relatively low-speed analog-to-digital converter, and micro-control unit. We confirmed that the MCT photodetector signal according to the QCL source can be accurately read and transferred to the PC without omissions.

Piriformis syndrome is a syndrome of low back and leg radiating pain thought to be due to a chronic contracture of the piriformis muscle that causes irritation of the sciatic nerve. The piriformis muscle is a flat pyramidal muscle, an external rotator and abductor of the hip, originating from the front of the sacrum and inner aspect of the sacroiliac joint, then passes laterally out of the sciatic notch to attach posteriorly to the greater trochanter of the femur, the sciatic nerve passes between the two bellies of the muscle. Mechanical irritation of the sciatic nerve by an inflammatory reaction of the piriformis muscle and its fascia at this pelvic level causes pain to radiate in the dermatomal regions of the nerve roots similar to that disk entrapment. diagnosis of piriformis syndrome is made primary on the basis of history and clinical examination. The incidence is considerably higher in women, with the reported ratio of women to men of 6:1. These patients frequently present with associated symptoms of pelvic pain and/or dyspareunia. Symptoms are usually unilateral but occasionally be bilateral. We had a 42 year-old woman patient with low back and left leg radiating pain and dyspareunia treated by caudal steroid and local anesthetic.

본 논문에서는 PCS와 IMT-2000 서비스를 동시에 수용할 수 있는 광대역 안테나를 설계하였다. 광대역 특성을 얻기 위하여 두 개의 폼 물질, 기생소자로 구성된 개구면 결합 방식을 사용한 다층구조를 사용하였다. 기생소자의 크기와 폼 물질의 높이를 조절함으로서 광대역 특성을 얻었다. 또한, 급전선 하단 λ/4 위치에 도체판을 사용함으로서 후방 방사를 줄였다. 단일 방사소자의 대역폭은 VSWR 1.3이하에서 550MHz를 얻었다. 제작된 1$\times$4 배열 안테나의 대역폭은 VSWR 1.3이하에서 460MHz, 안테나 이득은 11.15~12.15dBi, 전후방비는 30dB를 얻었다.

Two hundreds of female aged 19 years old and up were recruited to evaluate the postural changes and bilateral variation of asymmetry over age. To find out the differences among the age group, subjects were classified into 5 groups, early young age(19-29), late young age(30-39), early middle age(40-49), late middle age(50-59), and old age(60-). 35 body measurements were taken by the 3-D body scanner which allowed us to take measurements which cannot be measured using traditional methods, including the shape of a cross section, slice area surface are, and volume. Bilateral variations were observed as a function of age; Depth of scapular point level, scapular point to center back, and blade angle. Postural change of anterior cervical angle, upper anterior thoracic angle, upper posterior thoracic angle, posterior cervical angle, and center back/center front ratio were also exhibited. In each measurements, subjects were classified into normal, and abnormal group. Percentiles of abnormal in shoulder line angle, blade angle, neck point $\∼$ acromial point $\∼$ scapular point, posterior cervical angle, and upper posterior thoracic angle were increased over age group. The upper body of lateral view was classified into 3 types of posture based on the previous research; straight, erect(leaning back), and stooped(bent forward). The percentiles of subjects who have straight postures were decreased as a function of age, but those of stooped postures were increased. Subjects who have erect postures did not so. The stooped posture group shows the big cervical fossa angle, anterior cervical angle, posterior cervical angle, upper posterior thoracic angle, and the small upper anterior thoracic angle comparing to the straight and erect posture group. These results could be apply for clothing construction reflecting the changes in back, shoulder, neck, and the bilateral asymmetry according to the target age group.

본 논문에서는 SDMB(Satellite Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) 시스템에서 동작하는 고 이득 광대역 안테나를 구현하였다. 제안된 안테나는 표면파를 억제하기 위한 SAP(Shorted Annular Patch) 구조와 이득, 대역폭 그리고 지향성을 개선시키기 위하여 $0.25 {\lambda}_0$ 간격을 갖는 3차원 배열의 기생 SAP로 구성되었다. 원형 패치상의 서로 반대 방향으로 농인 두 개의 슬릿을 이용하여 RHCP(Right Hand Circular Polarization)로 동작하도록 하였다. 모의 실험 결과, 제안된 안테나의 최대 방사 이득은 기존의 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나에 비해서 5.22 dBi 개선된 12.6 dBi로 나타났다. 제작된 안테나는 동작 주파수 2.63 GHz에서 최대 방사 이득이 10.5 dBi로 나타났다. 측정된 임피던스 대역폭$(VSWR{\leq}2)$은 기존의 마이크로스트림 패치 안테나에 비해서 300 MHZ 개선된 $360 MHz(2.488{\sim}2.848 GHz)$이며, HPBW(Half Power Beam Width)는 $45.8^{\circ}$, FBR(Front Back Ratio)은 15.49dBi로 나타났다. 3dB 축비 대역폭은 220 MHz$(2.54{\sim}2.76 GHz)$를 얻었다.

Radiation characteristics of a probe-fed rectangular microstrip patch antenna printed on a finite grounded high permittivity substrate are investigated systematically for various square grounded dielectric substrate sizes with several thicknesses and dielectric constants by experiment and full wave simulation. The effect of the substrate size on the radiation characteristics of a rectangular patch antenna is mainly determined by the effective dielectric constant of surface waves on a grounded dielectric substrate. As the effective dielectric constant of surface waves increases, the substrate sizes for the maximum broadside gain and the required onset for a large magnitude of squint angle decrease, while the variations of the broadside gain, the front-to-back ratio, and the magnitude of squint angle versus the substrate size increase due to the increase of the power of the surface wave.

The belt source evaporation is for the large size AMOLED devices to re-sublimate the organic film deposited on the metal plate. Using the plane source, the PL spectrum of the doped organic film has been studied for the first time. The PL peak of the pure Alq3 film was 512nm and that of the pure Rubrene was 557nm. The PL peak of the 2% Rubrene doped Alq3 film was shifted to $536{\pm}2nm$. The PL peak wavelength measured at the front surface of the film and at the back surface of the film was measured as nearly same as that the doping ratio maintains uniform within the film thickness. In conclusion, the doping control of the organic film becomes real using the belt type plate sublimation deposition.

In this letter, a miniaturized log-periodic dipole array (LPDA) antenna operating from 1 GHz to 6 GHz is proposed for portable direction finding applications. To reduce the lateral size of an LPDA antenna, bow-tie elements and a top-loading technique are utilized and spacing factor is decreased to reduce the spacing between the LPDA elements. The proposed miniaturized LPDA antenna has the measured gain and front-to-back ratio ranging from 1.2 dBi to 3 dBi and from 7 dB to 22 dB, respectively.

This effective way for repairing a fatigue crack is making indetations around fatigue crack tip. In this paper, we performed fatigue test to investigate the optimal position of the indentations, and observed crack opening behavior at the same time. The indentation positions of specimens were on the crack tip, front and back of the crack tip. The results of the experiment showed taht it was veryeffective way to increase fatigue life that making indentations on the crack tip, and it was the optimal position that making indentations on the crack tip.
