We have fabricated a helmet type magnetoencephalogrphy(MEG) with a $1^{st}$ order gradiometer in vacuum to improve the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) and the boil-off rate of liquid helium(LHe). The axial type first-order gradiometer was fabricated with a double relaxation oscillation SQUID(DROS) sensor which was directly connected with a pickup coil. The neck space of LHe dewar was made to be smaller than that of a conventional dewar, but the LHe boil-off ratio appeared to increase. To reduce the temperature of low Tc SQUID sensor and pickup coil to 9 K, a metal shield made of, such as copper, brass or aluminum, have been usually used for thermal transmission. But the metal shield exhibited high thermal noise and eddy current fluctuation. We quantified the thermal noise and the eddy current fluctuation of metal. In this experiment, we used the bobbin which was made of an alumina to wind Nb superconductive wire for pickup coil and the average noise of coil-in-vacuum type MEG system was $3.5fT/Hz^{1/2}$. Finally, we measured the auditory evoked signal to prove the reliability of coil-in-vacuum type MEG system.

In this paper, an improved technique for multiresolutive reconstruction of magnetoencephalography (MEG) source distribution is proposed. Using the proposed technique, focal solution with higher energy density can be reconstructed. Moreover, the proposed approach is very easy to implement compared to conventional ones. The usefulness of the proposed technique is verified by the application to a real brain model.

동적 커패시턴스 제어(DCC) 기술로 인하여 액정 디스플레이 장치의 약점 중 하나였던 응답 시간 성능이 크게 개선되었다. 하지만 DCC는 계산 과정에서 이전 프레임 영상의 실시간 저장 및 출력을 반복해야 하며, 이 과정에 활용되는 고속 메모리는 HD 고해상도 디스플레이 제작에 있어 높은 하드웨어적 부담 및 비용 상승의 원인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 복잡도가 낮은 고속 영상 압축 기법인 변형 지수-골룸 (MEG) 코딩을 제안하며, 이를 통해 DCC 기술에 요구되는 메모리의 양을 크게 줄일 수 있다. 또한 본 연구에서는 화소별 DCC 스위칭 기법을 제안하여 압축 오차가 최종 액정 디스플레이 영상의 시각 품질에 악영향을 미치지 않도록 하였다. 제안된 방식을 이용해 DCC 처리용 메모리의 크기를 1/3로 줄여도 최종 영상의 시각 품질 손상이 거의 없음을 실험을 통해 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 부작용 없고 문제성 두피 및 피부개선 등에 효과가 좋지만 온도와 습도에 민감한 오존크림을 일정한 과산화물가와 방전관 내구성 안정적인 생산을 위한시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 더 나아가 올리브 오일과 오존과 반응시켜 제조하는 기술에 적용하고자 한다. 오존화 올리브 오일의 과산화물가가 1200 meg/kg 넘을 경우 미생물 살균에는 좋으나 두피 및 피부에 과민반응을 보이기 때문에 위험을 최소화하여 생산되도록 하는 것이 본 연구 및 실험의 목적이다. 그리고 안정된 생산을 위하여 제조 장치중에 방전관의 내구성도 실험하였다. 그 실험 결과 오존화 올리브오일의 과산화물가가 1300 meg/kg 로 적정하게 측정되었고, 방전관도 안정된 결과를 보였다.

We studied on the preparation and evaluation of O/W type microemulsion containing "wax, liquid paraffine and quaternary ammonium salt". And also it was obtained to stability of microemulsions by mono ethylene glycol(MEG) addition. The microemulsions were generally prepared at 96${\sim}$97$^{\circ}C$ by the phase inversion method. We used polyoxyethylene(20) sorbitan monooleate(POE(20)SMO) and distearyl dimethyl ammonium chloride(D.D.A.C.) as the emulsifiers at microemulsion preparation. From the results, we could get best condition for microemulsion preparation, in case of oil phase, montanic ester wax ; 1.1wt%, paraffine wax ; 1.1wt%, liquid paraffine ; 3.1wt%, propylene glycol ; 0.6wt% and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether ; 0.6wt%, when the ratio(wt%) of D.D.A.C. and POE(20)SMO were 2 : 3. And also we could obtained that the distributed particle size of the final microemulsions were about 8${\pm}$1.5nm and the mean particle size was 7${\pm}$0.5nm. We got following results from final microemulsions that the percent of transmittance; 96${\sim}$98% at 700nm. And the microemulsion blended with MEG of 5${\sim}$15wt% showed smaller particle size and more stable distribution than non-containing MEG.

In the present study, we proposed a new subspace scanning algorithm to enhance the spatial resolution of electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography(MEG) source localization. Subspace scanning algorithms, represented by the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm and the first principal vector (FINE) algorithm, have been widely used to localize asynchronous multiple dipolar sources in human cerebral cortex. The conventional MUSIC algorithm used principal component analysis (PCA) to extract the noise vector subspace, thereby having difficulty in discriminating two or more closely-spaced cortical sources. The FINE algorithm addressed the problem by using only a part of the noise vector subspace, but there was no golden rule to determine the number of noise vectors. In the present work, we estimated a non-orthogonal signal vector set using independent component analysis (ICA) instead of using PCA and performed the source scanning process in the signal vector subspace, not in the noise vector subspace. Realistic 2D and 3D computer simulations, which compared the spatial resolutions of various algorithms under different noise levels, showed that the proposed ICA-MUSIC algorithm has the highest spatial resolution, suggesting that it can be a useful tool for practical EEG/MEG source localization.

Nelder-Mead downhill simplex method (DSM), a kind of deterministic optimization algorithms, has been used extensively for magnetoencephalography(MEG) dipolar source localization problems because it dose not require any functional differentiation. Like many other deterministic algorithms, however, it is very sensitive to the choice of initial positions and it can be easily trapped in local optima when being applied to complex inverse problems with multiple simultaneous sources. In this paper, some modifications have been made to make up for DSM's limitations and improve the accuracy of DSM. First of all, initial point determination method for DSM using magnetic fields on the sensor surface was proposed. Secondly, Univariant-DSM combined DSM with univariant method was proposed. To verify the performance of the proposed method, it was applied to simulated MEG data and practical MEG measurements.

This paper proposes four-ring slot resonator-based MIMO antennas of 75×150 mm² without and with CSRR structures in the sub-6-GHz range. These orthogonal-fed antennas have shown diverse characteristics with dual polarization. L-shaped parasitic structures have increased the isolation (i.e., >40 dB) in the single-element antenna over the band of 3.4 GHz-3.8 GHz. A set of three CSRR structures in the MIMO antenna reduced the coupling between antenna ports placed in an inline arrangement and enhanced the isolation from 12 dB to 20 dB and the diversity characteristics. The S-parameters of both MIMO antennas are measured and used to evaluate MIMO parameters like ECC, TARC, MEG, and channel capacity loss. The simulation results show the variations in the gain and directivity on exciting linear and dual polarizations. The diversity performance of the reported MIMO antennas is suitable for 5G applications.

뇌자도 측정을 위해 고감도 superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) 자력계 및 37채널 뇌자도 측정장치를 제작하고 동작특성을 조사하였다. 자속-전압 변환계수 및 변조전압 진폭이 큰 double relaxation oscillation SQUID (DROS)를 사용함으로서 구동회로를 간단히 하였고 안정한 SQUID 동작을 실현할 수 있었다. DROS 자력계를 설계 및 제작한 결과 자력계의 평균 백색잡음은 약 3 fT/√Hz으로서 우수한 자장감도를 가짐을 확인하였다 머리의 평균곡률을 기반으로 37개의 자력계를 반구형으로 배치시켰으며, 외부잡음을 줄이기 위해 신호채널 외에 11개의 기준채널을 설치하여 소프트웨어 방법으로 합성미분계 및 적응필터링을 형성할 수 있도록 하였다 저잡음 듀아를 제작하여 동작특성을 측정한 결과 듀아 열자기 잡음이 자력계 잡음에 비해 무시할 수 있는 수준이었으며, 듀아의 용량은 30 L, 액체헬륨 증발율은 4 L/d이다. 제작된 시스템을 이용하여 청각유발 신호를 측정하고, 디지털 신호처리 및 전류원 국지화 프로그램을 구성하여 전류원의 위치를 추정함으로서 개발된 시스템을 뇌자도 측정에 활용하였다.
