Flap monitoring is important for flap salvage. Although there are many methods to observe the flap, practical methods mostly used are subjective methods. Recording flap surface temperature is one of the objective methods of flap monitoring. We used an infra-red thermometer to simplify monitoring of the flap temperature. 60 groin flaps of SD rats are used in the experiment. Artificial arterial or venous insufficiency was made and the surface temperature was checked and compared with body temperature. In the results, the temperature of the arterial clamped flaps was lower than that of body and the mean difference was $0.3^{\circ}C$ after 20 minutes of clamping. In the vein-clamped flaps, the mean decrease was $0.4^{\circ}C$ after 30 minutes of clamping. The all difference of the temperature between the flaps and body was statistically significant. Our results suggest that flap monitoring by infra-red thermometer is simple, useful and helpful to evaluate the flap status.

The thermometers is widely used in diagnostic medical devices, and the safety and accurate performance of these devices are important in the diagnosis and monitoring of personal health. Especially, the accuracy of infra-red thermometer is highly emphasized. Here two typical thermometers are utilized for this purpose: the electronic thermometers measure body temperature by contacting to subject while infra-red thermometers measure by no contacting to subject. Therefore, the evaluating items of each thermometer are different, and the standard for each temperature is highly needed. But, there have been no international standards of each thermometer such as IEC. In this paper, we developed the standards of electronic and infra-red thermometer based on national standards such as KS, ASTM, EN, JIS and FDA guidance. The new standards focused on the safety and suitable performance for health care. This standards were applied to enact and revise the electronic medical device standards. So it can be applied to evaluate the safety and performance on technical file review. We predict that this standard will improve the quality of diagnostic medical devices (thermometers) and increase the international competitive power of domestic product.

일부 소스류 제품에 사용된 스탠딩 파우치에서 전자레인지 가열조리 시 열변형이 발견되어 이의 원인을 규명하고자 온도 변화 패턴을 조사하였다. 전자레인지로 포장된 식품을 가열 시 포장재의 온도 변화는 식품 자체의 온도보다 높고 국소적인 온도 측정 기술을 요한다. 공시 시료로 매운맛 닭 소스와 인도카레의 전자레인지 가열 시 포장재와 시료의 온도를 열화상 카메라, 온도센서 테이프 및 광섬유 온도계를 이용하여 측정하였다. 스탠딩 파우치 형태의 포장은 전자레인지 가열 조리 시 내용물의 불균일한 가열이 관찰되어 특정 부위, 특히 액위선 상단과 측면 sealing layer에 열이 집중되는 현상이 발생하였다. 열화상 카메라를 이용한 온도 측정 방법은 식품의 표면 온도를 측정하는 제약이 있고 실제 식품의 온도보다 낮게 측정되는 경향을 보였다. 온도센서 테이프를 이용할 경우 $200^{\circ}C$까지 온도까지 측정되어 전자레인지 가열 과정 중 포장재 변형 현상이 야기될 수 있는 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 전자레인지 가열 시 포장재 표면의 온도 변화를 기존 광섬유 온도계로 측정할 경우 실제 온도보다 낮게 측정되는 결과가 초래되므로, 좁은 범위에서의 hot spot의 온도 변화를 감지할 수 있는 방법으로 GaAS crystal 센서를 사용함으로서 기존 센서보다 더 민감하고 정확한 온도 측정이 가능하였다.

This study was conducted in order to determine the effect of Paraffin Therapy on release of pain, skin temperature and range of motion with joint diseases. This study was performed on 42 patients with general joint diseases and 21 patients with degenerative joint diseases. All the subjects were randomly assigned to three groups with 21 each. The experiment had been done from June, 1. 2002 to September, 30. 2002, in two general hospitals and a social welfare center using Digital Thermometer Kane-May KM330 and VAS(visual analogue scale). Each pint was measured in terms of skin temperature, pain scale and ROM(range of motion). The results of the experiment are as follows : 1. In application of three different heat modalities (Paraffin bath, Infra red, Hydro pack) on the Knee, Ankle, Elbow pints of the subjects for 30 minutes, the elevation of skin temperature and the reduction of pain scale were found to be significantly different. When checked right after the 30 minutes' application, the Infra red resulted in a higher degree elevation of skin temperature than two other modalities, while Paraffin bath resulted in the highest degree of the elevation of skin temperature when it was checked one hour after the application was over. It means that Paraffin bath lasted longer than the other two modalities(F=14.691, p<.000). 2. With Paraffin bath application, pint pain was reduced significantly both in 30 minutes and one hour checks(F=20.675, p<.001). 3. In terms of ROM(range of motion) increase, didn't seem to have any significant differences in 30 minutes and one hour. The results suggest that Paraffin therapy be helpful in maximizing th effects on pint diseases. I strongly suggest that further studies be done on other pints and muscle diseases using Paraffin bath in different methods of applying the therapy.

The advanced technology of micro-machining is starting to penetrate our lives. This technology, with which it is possible to make micro-structures by means of processing on the order of nm (micrometer = 1/1,000 mm) or less, is realizing machines that were only part of our wildest imagination. However, the fact is that many issues remain in the quest for a variety of applications. With the advent of computing technologies, information technologies, and telecommunications technologies, we foresee the need for new approaches in design, process, and the use of materials, technologies, and people in a globalized manufacturing enterprise. A new thinking paradigm is needed to focus on quality of service on the products we design and manufacture. Factories in different regions need to be co-ordinated through use of the state-of-the-art information on productivity, diagnostics, and service evaluation of manufacturing systems could be shared among different locations and partners. In this research, We develope the internet based Diagnosis system for micro machining and evaluate its characteristics by using mechatronic sensor like Dynamometer, acoustic emission, Acceleration sensor, micro phone, vision, infra-red thermometer.

영상센서 중 적외선 센서는 시간경과 및 작동/비작동 반복에 따라 적외선 광원에 대한 응답특성이 조금씩 변화하며, 그 결과 영상품질이 저하된다. 그래서 인공위성에 탑재되는 적외선 센서의 경우 정상적인 임무수행을 위해 교정용 흑체로 주기적인 비균일 응답특성 보정을 실시할 수 있도록 해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 비균일 응답특성 보정을 위해, 적외선 센서의 파장대역 $3.3{\sim}5.2{\mu}m$에서 흑체 방사율이 0.995이상 평균온도차 $1^{\circ}C$ 이하가 되도록 V-그루브(groove) 타입의 흑체를 설계하였다. 성능검증을 위해 흑체의 방사율과 표면온도를 측정하여 검증하였으며, 그 결과로부터 비균일 응답특성 보정오차를 산출하였다.

Objectives : The moxibustion is the method using the heat stimulation done by attached and burned a moxa on a healing point or acupuncture point with chemical stimulation of a resin made from burning them. The purpose of this study is to find the physical and thermal characteristics of moxibustion in order to standardize the moxa therapy method. Methods : In this study, the thermal changes were observed by means of a testo 845 device, which is an infra-red thermometer to measure the thermal changes. Results & Conclusions : 1. The thermal changes on the external surface of moxibustion did not depend on the weight of the moxa; the external surface temperature was about $500^{\circ}C$. 2. The central thermal changes depend on the weight of moxa; the central temperatures ranged from $500^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$. 3. The burning duration of moxibustion depend on the weight of moxa but that of external surface temperature did not depend on the weight of moxa in high degree : about $400^{\circ}C$. 4. The integral values of central and external temperature curves were proportional to the weight of moxa; that is central temperature curves were higher than that of external.

Objectives : The warm needling technique is a combination of acupuncture and moxibustion. The purpose of this study was to find the physical and thermal characteristics in order to identify the effects and mechanisms of the warm needling technique. Methods : In this study, the thermal changes were observed with a testo 845 device, which is an infra-red thermometer specifically designed for measuring a combustion of corn shaped moxibustion(moxa-corn). The thermal changes at the apex of the moxa-corn placed on the top of the an acupuncture were observed at the level of 1 cm and 2 cm from the apex to understand heat conduction through acupuncture needle for combustion of moxa-corn. Results and Conclusions : The thermal conduction through acupuncture needle from the moxa-corn was relative to the weight of moxa-corn and was inversely relative to the distance of the moxa-corn and acupuncture needle length. And the value of thermal conduction to the apex of the acupuncture needle from the moxa-corn was about $3{\sim}5^{\circ}C$. The above results suggest that the present study may be useful in finding the mechanism and effects of the warming needling technique.
