In this paper, we developed a system with a near-infrared LED light source with a wavelength of 950nm to acquire palm vein images and a white LED light source to acquire palm creases based on Raspberry Pi. In addition, we implemented a unique pattern-extractable image processing technology that can prevent counterfeiting and enhance security of mixed creases and palmprints through image pre-processing (Gray scaling, Histogram Equalization, Blurring, Thresholding, Thinning) for the acquired vein and palm images, and secured a source technology that can be used in a security-enhanced system.

It is obvious that there are plentiful of dust particles in the interplanetary spaces of the Solar System (IDPs), based on micrometeor craters, zodiacal light and direct measurements on the spacecraft. Because of photon drag and planetary perturbations, these particles are continuously falling to the Sun or planets, therefore continuous source of the IDPs are required. We studied the fractional contribution of each type of solar system objects to the IDPs complex through the optical properties of the potential dust sources and the zodiacal light. We found that more than 90% of the IDPs are originated from cometary nuclei. This result is discussed through the comparison with the dynamic simulation, micrometeors mineralogy and near-infrared spectrum of the zodiacal light. In addition, we introduce our new project on the numerical simulation for the dust particles ejected from the cometary nuclei, to verify the conclusion of dominant cometary contribution and its detailed consequences.

Dust has recently been found to be prevalent in compact binaries such as non-magnetic Cataclysmic Variable systems. As a possible source of this dust is from solid bodies, we explore impacts to non-magnetic Cataclysmic Variable disks. We use three-dimensional Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic simulations to search for impact signatures. From injections of whole bodies to these disks, we find pulse shapes in simulated bolometric light curves that resemble impact flashes in the light curves of the Shoemaker-Levy 9 event. As a result, we tentatively identify these light curve shapes as signatures of impacts.

Our research was performed in order to implement a new pointing device for human-computer interactions in a collaborative environments based on Tiled Display system. We mainly focused on tracking the position of an infrared light source and applying our system to various areas. More than simple functionality of mouse clicking and pointing, we developed a device that could be used to help people communicate better with the computer. The strong point of our system is that it could be implemented in any place where a camera can be installed. Due to the fact that this system processes only infrared light, computational overhead for LED recognition was very low. Furthermore, by analyzing user's movement, various actions are expected to be performed with more convenience. This system was tested for presentation and game control.

We present a very simple and efficient bare-wafer inspection method using a knife-edge test. The wafer front surface and inner structures are inspected simultaneously. The wafer front surface is inspected visually using a knife-edge test while the inner structure is simultaneously inspected by a camera in the infrared region with a single white-light source. This paper presents a laboratory implementation of the test method with some experimental results.

The CO laser is one of powerful light source for laser magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the mid-infrared region of the spectrum because of its wideband operational characteristics. In this work, a liquid nitrogen cooled cw CO laser is developed to allow broad-band operation from 5 to 8 ${\mu}m$. The design details will be presented.

We present a new simple and fast bare-wafer inspection method. This method inspects the wafer front surface and inner structures simultaneously. The wafer surface is inspected using a knife-edge test in visible while the inner structure is inspected by a looking-through camera in infrared, at the same time and with a single white-light source. This paper presents a laboratory implementation of the test method with some experimental results.

DC arc plasmatron is powerful plasma source to apply etching and texturing processing. Even though DC arc plasmatron has many advantages, it is difficult to apply an industry due to the small applied area. To increase an effective processing area, we suggest a DC-RF hybrid plasma system. The DC-RF hybrid plasma system was designed and made. This system consists of a DC arc plasmatron, RF parts, reaction chamber, power feeder, gas control system and vacuum system. To investigate a DC-RF hybrid plasma, we used a Langmuir probe, OES (Optical emission spectroscopy), infrared (IR) light camera. For RF matching, PSIM software was used to simulate a current of an impedance coil. The results of Langmuir probe measurements, we obtain a homogeneous plasma density and electron temperature those are about $1{\times}1010$ #/cm3 and 1~4 eV. The DC-RF hybrid plasma source is applied for plasma etching experimental, and we obtain an etching rate of 10 ${\mu}m$/min. through a 90 mm of reaction chamber diameter.

PURPOSE. This study evaluated the depth of cure of resin composite cured by light through a translucent fiber post. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The opaque plastic tubes in various lengths of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 mm. were filled with resin composite in which two different translucent fiber posts were inserted into the center and photo-polymerized for 40 seconds. The degree of conversion of the cured composite at bottom surface were examined using Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflection spectrometer (FTIR/ATR) at 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 mm apart from the post surface. RESULTS. The degree of conversion of the 0.1 mm, 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm apart from the post surface was highest at the 2 mm level and continuously decreased when the distance from the light source was increased and drastically decreased when the depth from the top of the post was greater than 4-6 mm. For each level, the highest degree of conversion was at 0.1 mm from the post surface and decreased continuously when the distance apart from the post surface was increased. CONCLUSION. The quantity of light transmission depends on the type of post and the light transmission capability of the post, especially after 4-6 mm depth and the area further apart from the post surface, are insufficient for clinical light activation of resin composite.

Dissolved silica is one of fatal components at a boiler facility Therefore, a dissolved silica measurement system should be equipped for managing efficiently the boiler facility. Most of silica measurement systems are composed of a sensor module of single-beam type structure, and silica density is measured with a infrared spectrometry using the Lambert-beer method. However, such a system occurs measuring error of large range and inconsistency of a light source, because of measuring a standard sample and a measuring sample alternatively. This paper introduces a method that the sensor module has a split-beam type structure and a tungsten lamp. The proposed system can measure silica density quickly and precisely more than those composing of a single-beam type structure, because of measuring and comparing with two samples at a same time. And examination results are shown to compare efficiencies of the system and existing commercial products, and for an ammonia influence.
