In the present research, a new bending system using a segmented vacuum chuck for Stressed Mirror Polishing (SMP) is developed. SMP is a special fabrication method for thin aspheric mirrors, where simple flat or spherical fabrication is applied while a mirror blank is deflected. Since a mirror blank is usually glued to a bending fixture in the conventional SMP process, there are drawbacks such as long curing time, inconvenience of mirror replacement, risk of mirror breakage, and stress concentration near the glued area. To resolve the drawbacks, a new bending system is designed to effectively hold a mirror blank by vacuum. For the developed bending system, the optimal bending load to achieve the designated mirror deflection is found by finite element analysis and an optimization algorithm. With the measurement results of the deflected mirror surfaces with the optimal bending loads, the feasibility of the developed bending system is investigated. As a result, it is shown that the bending system is appropriate for the SMP process.

The aim of the present study was to examine whether mirror therapy, in conjunction with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), can improve the upper extremity function of stroke patient. This study was conducted with 35 subjects, who were diagnosed as a hemiparesis by stroke. The Mirror plus rTMS group was of 12 members who undertook mirror therapy in conjunction with rTMS, the Mirror group was of 11 members who undertook mirror therapy, and the control group was of 12 members who undertook sham therapy. A motor cortex excitability was performed by motor evoked potential, and upper limb function was evaluated by Fugl-Meyer Assessment, and Box and Block Test. Significant difference was shown after the experiment, in comparison of the groups in terms of latency, and as the result of post hoc test, significant difference was shown between the Mirror plus rTMS group and control group, and between the Mirror group and control group, respectively. Significant difference was shown after the experiment in comparison of the groups in amplitude, and as the result of post hoc test, significant difference was shown between the Mirror plus rTMS group and Mirror group, and between the Mirror plus rTMS group and control group. Significant difference was shown after the experiment, in comparison of the groups in FMA and BBT, and as the result of post hoc test, significant difference was shown between the Mirror plus rTMS group and Mirror group, and between the Mirror group and control group. The study showed that mirror therapy in conjunction with rTMS is more effective to improve upper extremity function, than mirror therapy and sham therapy.

Objective: Mirror therapy is one of the promising methods suggested for the upper limb rehabilitation of stroke patients. While mirror therapy was presented to be effective in improving motor function of stroke patients, problems were raised as preceding studies had various methods in applying mirror therapy. Some studies even reported no effect in mirror therapy. Our supposition for the reason of such problems was a decrease of attention on the illusive image during mirror therapy of stroke patients, and we aimed to observe this. Design: A cross-sectional preliminary study. Methods: Three hemiplegic acute patients were recruited for the traditional mirror therapy. It lasted for 30 minutes, and 12 different tasks were asked to perform. All procedures were video-recorded, and Observer XT was used to analyse mirror-gazing time, gaze-distracted time, preparation time, frequency of mirror gazing, frequency of distraction, frequency of preparation for treatment. Results: Subjects spent an average of 4-5 minutes having instructions about the mirror therapy intervention (preparation duration), an average of 11 minutes watching the mirror during therapy (mirror-gazing duration), and the rest of 14-15 minutes looking around the environment (gaze-distracted duration). During the mirror therapy, the number of distracted moments (frequency of distraction) was eight times more than focusing on the mirror (frequency of mirror gazing). Conclusions: Once the patient looks at the mirror, it only lasts about 5 seconds on average. Thus, we confirmed that patients could not concentrate on the illusion during the session and therefore it may have affected the effectiveness of the therapy.

A 100*100.mu.m$^{2}$ aluminum micro mirror is designed and fabricated using a thick photoresist as a sacrificial layer andas a mold for nickel electroplating. The micro mirror is composed of aluminum mirror plate, two nickel support posts, two aluminum hinges, two address eletrodes, and two landing electrodes. The aluminum mirror plate,which is supported by two nickel support posts, is overhung about 10.mu.m from the silicon substrate. THe aluminum mirror plate is actuated like a seesaw by electrostatic force generated by electic potential difference applied between the mirror plate and the address electrode. This paper presents some methods to measure the optical and the dynamic characteristics of the fabricated micro mirror.

We present a new design approach and an example design for an image-space telecentric two-mirror system that has a fast f-number and a wide-field line image. The initial design of the telecentric mirror system is a conventional axially symmetric system, consisting of a flat primary mirror with fourth-order aspheric deformation and an oblate ellipsoidal secondary mirror to correct spherical aberration, coma, and field curvature. Even though in the optimized design the primary mirror is tilted, to avoid ray obstruction by the secondary mirror, the image-space telecentric two-mirror system shows quite good imaging performance, for a line imager.

A mirror-in-slab waveguide is fabricated on a slab waveguide by using the refractive-index contrast between two materials, with the reflection performance depending on the slab waveguide's design. In this research, a slab waveguide design consisting of silicon (Si) as the core and SiO2 as the substrate was designed and developed to determine the coupling, waveguide, and mirror losses. Based on experimental results, coupling loss is dominant and is affected by the design of the slab waveguide. Furthermore, the mirror loss is affected by the design of the mirror, such as the curvature radius and the size of the mirror. TE and TM polarizations of light are used in the measurements. The experimental results show that mirror losses due to reflection by mirrors are 0.011 dB/mirror and 0.007 dB/mirror for TE and TM polarizations respectively. A simulation was performed to confirm whether the size of mirror is sufficient to reflect the input light, and to check the quality of the surfaces of fabricated mirrors.

기존의 거울이라고 하면 단순히 자신의 모습을 보는 용도로 쓰였다. 하지만 현재 상용화 되고 있는 "Mirror Display"는 미용실의 전면 거울, 대형 백화점의 쇼핑 코너와 화장품 코너 등에 설치 되어 있다. 추가로 거울에 광고와 특정 서비스 등으로 부가적인 수익을 창출해 나가고 있다. 본 논문에서는 "Mirror Display"를 소형화하여 가정집에서 사용자의 설정에 따라 일기 예보, 캘린더, 시간, 교통정보, 중요 뉴스 등을 제공한다. 또한 홀로그램 기술을 접목하여 3D 출력방식으로 필요한 정보를 보여준다는 것은 거울의 본질을 극대화 할 수 있을 것이다. 이런 사용자 만족도를 상승 시킬 "Hologram Mirror Display"를 구현한다.

스마트 미러는 거울에 디스플레이와 임베디드 컴퓨터를 부착하여 거울 기능과 함께 사용자에게 다양한 정보를 제공해주는 IoT 장치이다. 본 논문은 스마트 미러가 사용자에게 정보를 제공하는 독립형 장치(stand alone device)라는 개념에서 벗어나 스마트 미러들이 연결되는 네트워크를 구성하고 사용자들이 다른 스마트 미러 사용자들과 대화하고 정보를 공유하는 CoMirror 시스템을 제안하고 구현하였다. CoMirror 시스템은 1개의 CoMirror 서버를 중심으로 여러 CoMirror 클라이언트들이 연결되는 구조이다. CoMirror 클라이언트는 라즈베리파이와 미러 필름, 터치 패드, 디스플레이 장치, 웹 카메라 등으로 구성되며, 서버에는 얼굴 학습과 인식, 사용자 관리, 클라이언트들 사이의 메시지 교환을 위한 중계 역할, 화상 통화 연결 설정 등의 기능이 구현되었다. 사용자들은 서버를 경유하여 다른 CoMirror 사용자들과 텍스트, 이미지, 오디오 등의 메시지를 주고받을 뿐 아니라, 1:1 화상 통화를 할 수 있도록 구현되었다.

A $1\;{\times}\;4$ micro mirror array is designed and fabricated. In contrast to other micro mirrors which utilize torsional flexure hinges or cantilevers for restoring torque and supporting purpose, we have placed a substrate hinge structure under each mirror. Each micro mirror consists of address electrode, substrate hinge consisting of pin and staple, supporter post, and mirror plate. Electrical connection between mirror plate and ground electrode is established by substrate hinge. Mirror undergoes a rotational motion due to electrostatic force when voltage difference is applied between address electrode and mirror plate. Micro mirrors with two different types of staple shape and two different pin sizes are designed and fabricated. Each mirror is designed to have ${\pm}\;10^{\circ}$ of deflection angle and have $100\;{\times}\;110\;{\mu}m^2$ of size.
