In the era of ubiquitous computing, human-friendly man-machine interface is getting more attention due to its possibility to offer convenient services. For this, in this paper, we introduce a 'Half-Mirror Interface System (HMIS)' as a novel type of human-friendly man-machine interfaces. Basically, HMIS consists of half-mirror, USB-Webcam, microphone, 2ch-speaker, and high-speed processing unit. In our HMIS, two principal operation modes are selected by the existence of the user in front of it. The first one, 'mirror-mode', is activated when the user's face is detected via USB-Webcam. In this mode, HMIS provides three basic functions such as 1) make-up assistance by magnifying an interested facial component and TTS (Text-To-Speech) guide for appropriate make-up, 2) Daily weather information provider via WWW service, 3) Health monitoring/diagnosis service using Chinese medicine knowledge. The second one, 'display-mode' is designed to show decorative pictures, family photos, art paintings and so on. This mode is activated when the user's face is not detected for a time being. In display-mode, we also added a 'healing-window' function and 'healing-music player' function for user's psychological comfort and/or relaxation. All these functions are accessible by commercially available voice synthesis/recognition package.

The application of large power transformer into a power distribution system was inevitable due to the increase of power demand and distributed generation. However, the decrease of the power transformer's impedance caused the short-circuit current of the power distribution system to be increase thus, the higher short-circuit current exceeded the cut-off ratings of the protective devices such as circuit breaker. To solve these problems, several countermeasures have been proposed to protect the power system effectively from higher fault current and the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has been expected to be the promising countermeasure. In spite of excellent current limiting performances of the SFCL, on the other hand, the efforts to apply the SFCL into power system has been delayed due to both the limited spaces for the SFCL's installation and its long recovery time after the fault removal. In order to solve these problems, a hybrid SFCL, which can perform either first half cycle limiting of first half cycle non-limiting operation, has been developed by corporation of LSIS (LS Industrial System) and KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation). In this paper, we tried to requirements hybrid SFCL by PSCAD/EMTDC. Simulation results of our analysis of the hybrid SFCL is that its accompanied the characteristics both the limit the fault current and quick recovery caused by the less impact from superconductor.

Due to large demand, the increase of fault current has caused the capacity of power machines in power grid to increase. Among several countermeasures, the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has been noticed as one of the promising countermeasures to solve these problems. However, in spite of excellent current limiting performances of the SFCL, the application of SFCL to power system has been delayed due to both the limited space for the SFCL's installation and its longer recovery time after the fault removal. In order to solve these problems, a hybrid type SFCL was developed. In this paper, we studied the operation characteristics of the hybrid SFCL with first half cycle non-limiting operation by modelling using PSCAD/EMTDC and experiment. It was shown through the simulation using PSCAD/EMTDC and the simulated experiment that the fault current limiting and the fast recovery operations of the hybrid SFCL with the first half cycle non-limiting operation were achieved.

본 논문에서는 다중 안테나를 갖는 릴레이 (relay)의 양방향 (full-duplex) 동작을 위한 프리코딩(precoding) 기법을 제안한다. 양방향 릴레이는 기존의 반이중 (half-duplex) 릴레이와 달리 같은 주파수 대역에서 동일한 시간에 송수신을 수행하기 때문에, 릴레이의 송신 안테나로부터 수신 안테나로 유입되는 자기 간섭 (self interference)이 발생한다. 제안한 프리코딩 기법은 이러한 자기 간섭을 블록 대각화 (block diagonalization) 기법을 통해 제거하여 릴레이의 양방향 동작이 가능하도록 한다. 또한, 모의 실험을 통해 양방향 릴레이가 기존의 반이중 릴레이에 비해 향상된 채널 용량을 가짐을 증명한다.

위배출 시간 측정(Gastric Emptying Time, GET)은 비침습적이고 정량적 평가 방법으로서 주로 내시경이나 방사선적 검사로 기계적 폐쇄가 없음이 확인된 위정체 증상을 보이는 환자를 검사한다. 이와 같은 일반적인 위배출 시간 측정 검사 외에 식도암 환자(식도 절제술을 시행한)를 대상으로 수술 직후와 1년 이상의 시간이 지난 후의 위배출 시간 측정 검사를 시행하여, 수술 후 흉강내에서 위장 기능의 평가 자료로서 위배출 시간 측정 검사의 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 본원을 내원해서 식도 절제술을 시행한 환자 93명을 대상으로 위배출 시간 측정 검사를 수술 직후와 1년 이상의 시간이 지난 후에 두 번 시행하였다. 환자의 검사 전 준비사항으로는 12시간 이상 밤새 공복과 약재나 흡연을 중단 시켜야 하고 당뇨병 환자는 인슐린 주사 후 아침 일찍 검사하는 것이 이상적이다. 검사 방법은 유동식의 위배출 시간 측정은 예민도가 떨어지므로 시행하지 않고, 고형식의 위배출 시간 측정 방법으로 $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$로 표지된 레진이 들어간 계란찜, 그리고 김밥과 점성이 높은 발효유와 함께 먹은 후 입위 자세로 3시간 동안 측정하였다. 검사의 평가 방법은 위배출 곡선 상에서 위내 방사능치가 50%가 되는 시간, 즉 반감기(T1/2)를 구하였고, 반감기가 180분 이상시 지연 위배출, 180분 이내는 중등도, 삼킴과 동시에 소장으로 넘어가는 경우를 급속 위배출로 구분하였다. 일반적인 위배출 시간 측정 영상은 위의 전정부와 위저부가 강하게 나타나는 영상에서 시간이 지남에 따라 소장으로 넘어가는 영상이지만, 식도 절제술을 시행한 식도암 환자는 흉강쪽에 강한 집적 영상을 보였다. 수술 직후 반감기(T1/2)는 급속 위배출이 12.9%, 중등도 위배출이 52.7%, 지연 위배출이 34.4%로 나타났다. 이후 1년 이상의 시간이 흐른 뒤의 반감기 결과는 수술 직후 급속 위배출 환자 중 67%가 중등도 위배출로, 지연 위배출을 보였던 환자는 69%가 중등도 위배출로 나타났다. 중등도 위배출을 보였던 환자 중 급속 위배출 이나 지연 위배출로 나빠진 경우는 24%이다. 식도 절제술을 시행한 식도암 환자의 위배출 시간 측정 검사는 반감기(T1/2)가 급속 위배출 및 지연 위배출에서 시간이 지날수록 중등도 위배출로 변하는 소견을 보였다. 이는 주로 위를 보는 위배출 시간 측정 검사가 흉강내의 식도를 대신하는 위장 기능의 평가에도 유용하게 쓰일 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 그리고 평가 기준을 세분화하고 검사의 시간 간격을 좁힌다면 좀 더 많은 정보와 분석으로 정확한 임상 진단과 평가가 이루어질 것으로 보인다.

The reinforcing effect of modified structure of PSC beams is analyzed in this study. The PSC beams are closed by precast half panels embeding PS tendons at the bottom flange of I-bear The stiffness of box structure is larger and the PS force at half panels makes a time-dependent upward camber of superstructures. The superstructure becomes a second composite structure among 3 elements-PSC ben RC slab, PSC Panel. The time-dependent creep and shrinkage effect at PSC Panels and structural behavior is verified considering construction sequences. The optimal range of to-box reinforcing method is surveyed through reliability analysis.

Infrared thermography was used to determine the location, size, and depth of defects under the surface of M.C nylon. Defects were created in a specimen by back-drilling circular holes. These defects were located at the maximum temperature difference that occurred. The sizes of the defects could be calculated by means of the full width at half of the maximum temperature difference. The depth of a defect could be calculated by the peak time and the maximum temperature difference. The maximum temperature difference between a defect and normal part was decreased with the depth of the defect. And the peak time also slowly appeared with the depth of the defect.

A terminal response time analysis for a general class of terminals-to-computer subsystem is presented in this paper. On the point of the front view, it should be considered for R.O.K. Military Defense to set up the communication network in order to facilitate for the currency of the information and the data communication system. The model used to study is based on the advanced data communications system in which terminals are connected to Terminal Control Units(TCU) that are in turn connected to local Front-End Processor(FEP). The line control procedures used to interface a TCU and an FEP may be half-duplex Binary Synchronous Communication(BSC), half-duplex Synchronous Data Link Control(SDLC), or full-duplex SLDC. This paper will contribute to facilitate the initial phase of system design and configuration for the Military Defense Communication Network System in future.

Ventilation rates can be measured directly by a tracer decay method, although little is known of the effects of different sampling intervals on decay rte calculations. This study determined variations in decay rates calculated by three techniques using residential ozone decay data. The calculation techniques were a regression technique, decay techniques using half-life and average-life, and finite difference techniques using two different time intervals. Variation associated with regression technique calculations for residential ozone decay rates based on data from both sample intervals were within 10% (2.81$\pm$1.88 hr-1). However, both half-life and finite difference technique calculations using a shorter-time interval were significantly different from those obtained with the regression technique(p<0.05). Therefore, the use of short sampling intervals in tracer decay may cause significant error in decay rate calculations.

Oscillartory thermocapillary flow of high Prandtl number fluids in the half-zone configuration is investigated. Based on experimental observations, one oscillation cycle consists of an active period where the surface flow is strong and the hot corner region is extended and a slow period where the opposite occurs. It is found that during oscillations the deformation of free surface plays an important role and a surface deformation parameter S correlates the experimental data well on the onset of oscillations. A scaling analysis is performed to analyze the basic steady flow in the parametric ranges of previous ground-based experiments and shows that the flow is viscous dominant and is mainly driven in the hot corner. The predicted scaling laws agree well with the numerical results. It is postulated that the oscillations are caused by a time lag between the surface and return flows. A deformation parameter S represents the response time of the return flow to the surface flow.
