Purpose: This study aimed to develop a breath control training system for breath-hold technique and respiratory-gated radiation therapy wherein the patients can learn breath-hold techniques in their convenient environment. Methods: The breath control training system comprises a sensor device and software. The sensor device uses a loadcell sensor and an adjustable strap around the chest to acquire respiratory signals. The device connects via Bluetooth to a computer where the software is installed. The software visualizes the respiratory signal in near real-time with a graph. The developed system can signal patients through visual (software), auditory (buzzer), and tactile (vibrator) stimulation when breath-holding starts. A motion phantom was used to test the basic functions of the developed breath control training system. The relative standard deviation of the maxima of the emulated free breathing data was calculated. Moreover, a relative standard deviation of a breath-holding region was calculated for the simulated breath-holding data. Results: The average force of the maxima was 487.71 N, and the relative standard deviation was 4.8%, while the average force of the breath hold region was 398.5 N, and the relative standard deviation was 1.8%. The data acquired through the sensor was consistent with the motion created by the motion phantom. Conclusions: We have developed a breath control training system comprising a sensor device and software that allow patients to learn breath-hold techniques in their convenient environment.

A image quality is limited by a sample-and-hold circuit of the X-ray CMOS image sensor even though simple mos switch or bootstrapped clock circuit are used to get high quality sampled signal. Because distortion of sampled signal is produced by the charge injection from sample-and-hold circuit even using bootstrapped. This paper presents the 3D micro-inductor design methode in the CMOS process. Using this methode, it is possible to increase the ENOB (effective number of bit) through the use of micro-inductor which is calculated and designed in standard CMOS process in this paper. The ENOB is improved 0.7 bit from 17.64 bit to 18.34 bit without any circuit just by optimized inductor value resulting in verified simulation result. Because of this feature, micro-inductor methode suggested in this paper is able to adapt a mamography that is needed high resolution so that it help to decrease patients dose amount.

Cost is an important aspect in designing a target drone, however the poor performance of low cost IMU, GPS, and microcontrollers prevents the use of complex algorithms, such as ARS, or INS/GPS to estimate attitude angles. We propose an autopilot which uses rate gyro and GPS only for a target drone to follow a prescribed path for anti-aircraft training. The autopilot consists of an altitude hold, roll hold, and path following controller. The altitude hold controller uses vertical speed output from a GPS to improve phugoid damping. The roll hold controller feeds back yaw rate after filtering the dutch roll oscillation to estimate the roll angle. The path following controller operates as an outer loop of the altitude and roll hold controllers. A 6-DOF simulation showed that the proposed autopilot guides the target drone to follow a prescribed path well from the view point of anti-aircraft gun training.

현재의 인터넷과 같은 전자 통신망과 멀티미디어 시스템의 발달은 고속의 대용량 데이터 전송을 필요로 한다. 초고속 통신 시스템에서의 고속 데이터 전송은 주로 광섬유를 사용하는 광통신으로 이루어지고 있다. FTTH(Fiber To The Home)와 같은 광통신 시스템은 멀티미디어 커뮤니케이션을 위해 필요한 큰 데이터 전송률을 제공할 수 있기 때문에 더욱 더 중요성이 높아지고 있으며 이러한 광통신 시스템에서는 통신환경의 영향을 적게 받고 외부 조절이나 부품이 필요하지 않는 수신기 IC 의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 일반적으로 광통신 수신기에는 고속 동작에 적합한 특성을 가진 GaAs-MESFET 가 사용되고 있으나, 본 논문에서는 0.35um CMOS 2-poly 4-metal 공정을 이용하여 5Gbps 광수신기를 설계하였다. 설계된 수신기는 Preamplifier, Main amplifier, ABC 회로로 구성되어 있다. Transimpedance amplifier 형태의 Preamplifier 는 광검출기에 의해 생성된 전류 신호를 전압 신호로 변환한다. ABC 회로는 Peak_Hold 회로와 Bottom_Hold 회로로 구성되어 있다. 기존의 Peak_Hold 회로에서는 다이오드와 hold capacitor 를 이용하여 peak 값을 검출하도록 되어 있는데, 다이오드를 이용하는 경우 작은 입력 신호전압의 Peak 값을 검출하는 데 한계가 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하고자 전류 거울형태의 Peak_Hold 회로를 설계하였다. 전류거울(current mirror)형태의 출력 신호의 duty error 를 줄이고 비트 에러율(Bit Error Rate)을 개선하는데 효과적이었다. 설계된 광수신기는 30dB 의 입력 dynamic range 와 입력 capacitance 3pF 에서 80MHz 의 대역폭을 가진다. 전력 소비량은 3.3V 전원 전압이 인가된 경우 약 150mW 정도이다.

The aim of this study was to develop a signal process circuit for a position sensitive avalanche photodiode detector. The circuit parts consisted of amplification, differential and peak/hold circuit. This research was the baseline to develop highly compact radiation detector. The signal was amplified by an amplification chip and its shape was changed in a differential circuit to minimize the pulse tailing. The peak/hold circuit detect the peak of the signal from the differential circuit and hold the amplitude of the peak for data acquisition. In order to test the intrinsic function of the circuit, the input signal was transmitted from a commercial pulse generator.

In this study it will be discussed how to solve the problem of discomfort from rolling motion on the fishing boats. Most discomfort is caused by the short cycle of rolling due to the light weight of the boats. The light weight is due to the FRP material which dries a boat. A way to improve the feeling of boarding by using fish hold was researched. The experiment was done on experimental fishing boat made by FRP in Jeju. An existing fish hold was designed and manufactured through the rolling test and that was used for a marine experiment. The rolling condition of the U-tank boat ideally designed was compared to that of an existing fishing boat using the same conditions. The experiments were carried out two times on the stop engine in the outward Sehwa fishing port, which the experimental data had analysed for effects of rolling reduction to compare the U - tank with the of exiting fish hold. The results were confirmed that the U-boat tank in the roll period and GoM were more safe than the existing fish hold and the average amplitude and significant of rolling angles were decreased relatively.

The ventilation performance for the various venting duct arrays has been experimentally compared in the scaled model of the container hold. Most container ships have the ventilation duct system to remove effectively the condensing heat released from container refrigerator. The existing duct system is vertically installed and basically has the number of duct as many as the columns of reefer container stack. In this study, to make up for the weak points having stagnantly hot legions in the centered area of container hold for the present system, the horizontal upward jotting duct system was proposed and proved by temperature rising tests on the scaled model. In this paper, the expected flow regimes and the thermal and hydrodynamic analogies as well as the measured temperature distributions in a hold for various duct types and heat released rates are deeply discussed.

When a fault relating to the urgent alarm occurs, we must prevent control rods from dropping and make one of two grippers in Control Rod Drive Mechanism (CRDM) grip the drive rod laking a control rod assembly. If a gripper with any problem is ordered to grip the drive rod, the gripper which cannot latch the rod stably will fail to take the rod. On the purpose of escaping this bad case, we order two grippers to hold the drive rod and enhance the reliability of holding control rods. This action is called the double hold. In the middle of the movement of the drive rod, the latching of the drive rod can cause friction between a gripper and the drive rod. This state may give damage to both the gripper and the drive rod. In this paper, we have devised the method which can have two grippers hold the drive rod more stably, without damaging the equipment.

The effect of injector driving current pattern on fuel injection rate of solenoid diesel common rail injector was studied by computer simulation. The time resolved fuel injection rate and injected quantity per stroke of a common rail injector driven with the five current patterns were computer simulated. The fuel injection rate and injected quantity per stroke according to the rail pressure and fuel injection period were also computer simulated. When the common rail injector was driven with the five driving current patterns of peak & hold, there was no difference in the fuel injection rate in the peak section regardless of all the current patterns of the five cases. On the other hand, the magnitude of the hold current value influenced the injection rate and injected quantity per stroke. That is, in the current pattern of three cases where the hold current value is equal to or more than a constant value of the peak current value, the fuel injection rates for the given common rail rail pressure and injection period are same one another. On the other hand, the current pattern of the two cases, in which the hold current value is smaller than a certain value, there is a large fluctuation in the fuel injection rate.
