  • 본 논문에서는 AR 보드 게임을 위한 FTIR 방식의 멀티 터치 스크린 시스템을 제안한다. 기존 보드 게임은 카드의 정보나 위치등 다양한 정보를 보여주면서 사용자와의 상호작용에 있어서 버튼과 같은 단순한 형태의 입력을 요구한다. 이러한 낮은 상호작용을 보완하기 위해서 다양한 형태의 패턴 등을 입력할 수 있는 멀티 터치 스크린 시스템을 적용한 텐저블 사용자 인터페이스를 제공하여 사용자로 하여금 더 많은 상호작용과 높은 몰입감을 제공하고자 한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 시스템은 다음과 같이 구성된다. 먼저, 텐저블 사용자 인터페이스를 위해서 Jefferson Y. Han이 제안한 시스템과 유사한 형태의 FTIR 방식의 멀티 터치 스크린을 테이블 탑 형태로 제작한다. 또한, 스크린 위의 카드를 인식하기 위해서 특정한 모양의 패턴을 적용한 적외선 반사지를 카드에 입힌 후, DI 방식을 사용하여 카드의 고유한 정보를 인식할 수 있도록 하였다. 마지막으로 사용자에게 인터페이스의 확장뿐만 아니라 시각적으로 높은 몰입감을 제공하기 위해 Bimber가 제안한 Virtual Showcase를 적용하였다. 이러한 시스템을 통해 사용자는 이전의 단조로운 형태의 게임에서 벗어나 훨씬 다양하고 높은 몰입감을 즐길 수 있게 되었다.

  • Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) together with MD2, one of the key pattern recognition receptors for a pathogen-associated molecular pattern, activates innate immunity by recognizing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Gram-negative bacteria. Although LBP and CD14 catalyze LPS transfer to the TLR4/MD2 complex, the detail mechanisms underlying this dynamic LPS transfer remain elusive. Using negative-stain electron microscopy, we visualized the dynamic intermediate complexes during LPS transfer-LBP/LPS micelles and ternary CD14/LBP/LPS micelle complexes. We also reconstituted the entire cascade of LPS transfer to TLR4/MD2 in a total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscope for a single molecule fluorescence analysis. These analyses reveal longitudinal LBP binding to the surface of LPS micelles and multi-round binding/unbinding of CD14 to single LBP/LPS micelles via key charged residues on LBP and CD14. Finally, we reveal that a single LPS molecule bound to CD14 is transferred to TLR4/MD2 in a TLR4-dependent manner. These discoveries, which clarify the molecular mechanism of dynamic LPS transfer to TLR4/MD2 via LBP and CD14, provide novel insights into the initiation of innate immune responses.

  • This study is concerned with the temperature dependence characteristics of ultrasound parameters in biological tissues, which are basic on the noninvasive deep body temperature estimation. Used parameters are ultrasonic attenuation coefficient and sound velocity In order to accomplishment our purpose, several signal processing methods were used. Attenua4iorl coefficient was estimated by spectral difference method and sound velocity was estimated by P-P method. And we also examined these methods through a series of IN VITRO experi mentis that used tissue-mimicking phantom samples and biological tissue samples. In order to imitate the biological soft tissue two kinds of phantom samples are used, one is agar phantom sample which is composed of agar, graphite, N-propyl alcohol and distilled water, and the other is fat phantom sample which is composed of pure animal fat. And the ultrasound transmission mode and reflection mode experiments are performed on the pig's spleen, kidney and fat. As a result, it is found that the temperature characteristics are uniform in case of phan- tom samples but not in biological tissues because of complicate wave propagation within them. Consequently, the possibility of temperature measurement using ultrasound on biological tissue is confirmed and its results may contribute to the establishment of reference values of internal temperature measurement of biological tissues.

  • Impact seismic wave test is a method for nondestructive testing of concrete structure using of stress wave which is propagated and reflected from internal flaws within concrete structure and external surface, In this study, we performed non-destructive testing using impact seismic wave test for safety diagnosis of civil engineering structures. For this, I've compared and analized the result in the way of reflective method mostly using on one-dimension such as tunnel lining, and penetration method using the way of cross hole and tomography.

  • We have developed a slab-type Nd:YAG gain module based on the techniques of conduction cooling and end pumping. The Nd:YAG slab is end-capped on both ends by undoped pure YAG and is pumped through the end-caps by stacked arrays of laser diode bars. The slab's surfaces of total internal reflection are in contact on both sides with microchannel cooling blocks which are cooled by water circulation. The power oscillator based on the gain module generates more than 400 W at 1-kW pumping with a slope efficiency of 55%. The small-signal gain of the gain module is 10 in a single zig-zag pass, and the amplified beam shows a near diffraction-limited beam quality.

  • A microwave NDI(Nondestructive Inspecting) method, based on SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) for inspecting such internal flaws or physical demage of FRP(Fiber Reinforced Polymer), is proposed in this paper. When a microwave is incident perpendicularly toward a multilayer dielectric FRP material, it gives a good response for the interfaces or transverse cracks. Interface depths or defect positions can be presented from the reflection waves, as using SAR imagery technique. As a result, it can be shown that such a SAR system can effectively inspect the type, size, or location of flaws within FRP composite material.

  • Sloshing frequencies of the fluid in rectangular tanks with a bottom-mounted rectangular block are determined by linear water wave theory. Velocity potential is decomposed into those for the wall-induced waves, and the reflected, transmitted, and scattered waves by the block. The reflection and transmission coefficients are determined using the continuity conditions of mass flux and energy flux on the common vertical boundaries of the fluid regions, and the boundary conditions on the both sides of the block. The analysis results indicate that the sloshing frequencies reduce, as the block becomes tall and vade and as the block moves toward the center. The variations of the sloshing frequencies due to the block are found to be more sensitive in broad thanks than is tall tanks.

  • Active thermography is being used since several years for remote non-destructive testing. It provides thermal images for remote detection and imaging of damages. Also, it is based on propagation and reflection of thermal waves which are launched from the surface into the inspected component by absorption of modulated radiation. For energy deposition, it use external heat sources (e.g., halogen lamp or convective heating) or internal heat generation (e.g., microwaves, eddy current, or elastic wave). Among the external heat sources, the ultrasound is generally used for energy deposition because of defect selective heating up. The heat source generating a thermal wave is provided by the defect itself due to the attenuation of amplitude modulated ultrasound. A defect causes locally enhanced losses and consequently selective heating up. Therefore amplitude modulation of the injected ultrasonic wave turns a defect into a thermal wave transmitter whose signal is detected at the surface by thermal infrared camera. This way ultrasound thermography(UT) allows for selective defect detection which enhances the probability of defect detection in the presence of complicated intact structures. In this paper the applicability of UT for fast defect detection is described. Examples are presented showing the detection of defects in PCB material. Measurements were performed on various kinds of typical defects in PCB materials (both Cu metal and non-metal epoxy). The obtained thermal image reveals area of defect in row of thick epoxy material and PCB.
