  • PET scanner는 양전자의 소멸복사에 의한 511 Kev의 감마선을 검출한다. multi ring detector에서 선원과 검출기사이의 기하학적 위치에 따른 감마선 검출에 대한 균등성(uniformity)을 검토 분석하였다. 감마선원과 검출기의 배열위치에 따른 이론적 검토와 일정한 크기의 phantom 내에서 방출되는 감마선을 2차원적으로 preset count하고, 검출기의 위치에 따라 평균계수치에 대한 편차율의 분포를 통하여 그 균등성을 비교 분석하였다. 1 bed data를 얻을 수 있는 47개의 검출기군으로 분류하고, 각 검출기군의 위치에 따른 편차율을 비교분석한 결과, 산란선과 산란되지 않은 모든 방사선량의 분포가 많은 중심군인 3번째부터 45번째까지에서는 평균편차의 비율이 $0.1{\sim}0.7%$로 비교적 균등도가 높게 나타났으나, 주변부에서는 편차율의 분포가 $1.1{\sim}5.2%$의 차이를 나타내고 있어, 주변부에서의 균등성이 중심부보다 감소되었다. 이것은 검출기 위치에 따른 계수율의 차이에 대한 이론적 근거와 일치하고 있으며, 감도를 알기위한 계수측정 부분에서도 중심부와 주변부와의 차이가 크게 다르게 나타났다. 이와같은 불균등성을 감소시키기 위하여 선원으로부터 모든 검출기 유효시야(UFOV) 내에서 충분한 방사능이 검출될 수 있도록 하는 우선적 조치가 필요하다고 판단된다.

  • 일반적으로 광학계의 물체거리가 변하면 배율이 변하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 이중 가우스(double-Gauss) 형태의 광학계에서 조리개를 기준으로 조리개 앞쪽에 위치한 렌즈군과 조리개 뒷쪽 렌즈군을 광축 방향으로 독립적으로 평행하게 이동하여 물체거리에 따라 배율과 상면이 고정되는 광학계를 제안하고 설계하였다. 이러한 광학계는 전방시현장치(head-up display, HUD), 두부장착디스플레이(head-mounted display, HMD) 등의 투사 광학계에 물체거리의 변화에 따라 상 크기가 변화하지 않도록 하여 전방시현장치 또는 두부장착디스플레이에서 초점 조절(focusing) 시에 화각이 변하지 않도록 하였다. 또한 반도체 칩과 IC 회로기판을 연결하는 와이어(wire)의 상태를 검사하는 과정에서 검사장비가 위 아래로 움직여서 물체거리가 변해도 광학계의 배율이 변하지 않도록 하여 고속검사가 가능할 수 있도록 별도 영상 처리를 시스템적으로 생략할 수 있었다. 본 논문에서 가우스 괄호법(Gaussian bracket method)을 이용하여 원하는 사양을 만족하도록 각 군의 이동량을 구해서 배율과 상면이 고정되도록 하였다. 초기 설계를 진행한 후, 최적화는 광학 설계 프로그램인 시놉시스(Synopsys)를 사용하였다.

  • The interplay between hedonic and utilitarian attributes has assumed special significance in recent years; it has been proposed that consumption offerings should be viewed as experiences that stimulate both cognitions and feelings rather than as mere products or services. This research builds on previous work on hedonic versus utilitarian benefits, regulatory focus theory, customer satisfaction to address two question: (1) Is the shopping goal at the point of purchase different from the shopping value? and (2) Is the customer loyalty after the use different from the shopping value and shopping goal? We surveyed 345 peoples those who have bought the electronic-goods within 6 months. This research dealt with the shopping value which is consisted of 2 types, hedonic and utilitarian. Those who pursue the hedonic shopping value may prefer the pleasure of purchasing experience to the product itself. They tend to prefer atmosphere, arousal of the shopping experience. Consistent with previous research, we use the term "hedonic" to refer to their aesthetic, experiential and enjoyment-related value. On the contrary, Those who pursue the utilitarian shopping value may prefer the reasonable buying. It may be more functional. Consistent with previous research, we use the term "utilitarian" to refer to the functional, instrumental, and practical value of consumption offerings. Holbrook(1999) notes that consumer value is an experience that results from the consumption of such benefits. In the context of cell phones for example, the phone's battery life and sound volume are utilitarian benefits, whereas aesthetic appeal from its shape and color are hedonic benefits. Likewise, in the case of a car, fuel economics and safety are utilitarian benefits whereas the sunroof and the luxurious interior are hedonic benefits. The shopping goals are consisted of the promotion focus goal and the prevention focus goal, based on the self-regulatory focus theory. The promotion focus is characterized into focusing ideal self because they are oriented to wishes and vision. The promotion focused individuals are tend to be more risk taking. They are more sensitive to hope and achievement. On the contrary, the prevention focused individuals are characterized into focusing the responsibilities because they are oriented to safety. The prevention focused individuals are tend to be more risk avoiding. We wanted to test the relation among the shopping value, shopping goal and customer loyalty. Customers show the positive or negative feelings comparing with the expectation level which customers have at the point of the purchase. If the result were bigger than the expectation, customers may feel positive feeling such as delight or satisfaction and they would want to share their feelings with other people. And they want to buy those products again in the future time. There is converging evidence that the types of goals consumers expect to be fulfilled by the utilitarian dimension of a product are different from those they seek from the hedonic dimension (Chernev 2004). Specifically, whereas consumers expect the fulfillment of product prevention goals on the utilitarian dimension, they expect the fulfillment of promotion goals on the hedonic dimension (Chernev 2004; Chitturi, Raghunathan, and Majahan 2007; Higgins 1997, 2001) According to the regulatory focus theory, prevention goals are those that ought to be met. Fulfillment of prevention goals in the context of product consumption eliminates or significantly reduces the probability of a painful experience, thus making consumers experience emotions that result from fulfillment of prevention goals such as confidence and securities. On the contrary, fulfillment of promotion goals are those that a person aspires to meet, such as "looking cool" or "being sophisticated." Fulfillment of promotion goals in the context of product consumption significantly increases the probability of a pleasurable experience, thus enabling consumers to experience emotions that result from the fulfillment of promotion goals. The proposed conceptual framework captures that the relationships among hedonic versus utilitarian shopping values and promotion versus prevention shopping goals respectively. An analysis of the consequence of the fulfillment and frustration of utilitarian and hedonic value is theoretically worthwhile. It is also substantively relevant because it helps predict post-consumption behavior such as the promotion versus prevention shopping goals orientation. Because our primary goal is to understand how the post consumption feelings influence the variable customer loyalty: word of mouth (Jacoby and Chestnut 1978). This research result is that the utilitarian shopping value gives the positive influence to both of the promotion and prevention goal. However the influence to the prevention goal is stronger. On the contrary, hedonic shopping value gives influence to the promotion focus goal only. Additionally, both of the promotion and prevention goal show the positive relation with customer loyalty. However, the positive relation with promotion goal and customer loyalty is much stronger. The promotion focus goal gives the influence to the customer loyalty. On the contrary, the prevention focus goal relates at the low level of relation with customer loyalty than that of the promotion goal. It could be explained that it is apt to get framed the compliment of people into 'gain-non gain' situation. As the result, for those who have the promotion focus are motivated to deliver their own feeling to other people eagerly. Conversely the prevention focused individual are more sensitive to the 'loss-non loss' situation. The research result is consistent with pre-existent researches. There is a conceptual parallel between necessities-needs-utilitarian benefits and luxuries-wants-hedonic benefits (Chernev 2004; Chitturi, Raghunathan and Majaha 2007; Higginns 1997; Kivetz and Simonson 2002b). In addition, Maslow's hierarchy of needs and the precedence principle contends luxuries-wants-hedonic benefits higher than necessities-needs-utilitarian benefits. Chitturi, Raghunathan and Majaha (2007) show that consumers are focused more on the utilitarian benefits than on the hedonic benefits of a product until their minimum expectation of fulfilling prevention goals are met. Furthermore, a utilitarian benefit is a promise of a certain level of functionality by the manufacturer or the retailer. When the promise is not fulfilled, customers blame the retailer and/or the manufacturer. When negative feelings are attributable to an entity, customers feel angry. However in the case of hedonic benefit, the customer, not the manufacturer, determines at the time of purchase whether the product is stylish and attractive. Under such circumstances, customers are more likely to blame themselves than the manufacturer if their friends do not find the product stylish and attractive. Therefore, not meeting minimum utilitarian expectations of functionality generates a much more intense negative feelings, such as anger than a less intense feeling such as disappointment or dissatisfactions. The additional multi group analysis of this research shows the same result. Those who are unsatisfactory customers who have the prevention focused goal shows higher relation with WOM, comparing with satisfactory customers. The research findings in this article could have significant implication for the personal selling fields to increase the effectiveness and the efficiency of the sales such that they can develop the sales presentation strategy for the customers. For those who are the hedonic customers may be apt to show more interest to the promotion goal. Therefore it may work to strengthen the design, style or new technology of the products to the hedonic customers. On the contrary for the utilitarian customers, it may work to strengthen the price competitiveness. On the basis of the result from our studies, we demonstrated a correspondence among hedonic versus utilitarian and promotion versus prevention goal, WOM. Similarly, we also found evidence of the moderator effects of satisfaction after use, between the prevention goal and WOM. Even though the prevention goal has the low level of relation to WOM, those who are not satisfied show higher relation to WOM. The relation between the prevention goal and WOM is significantly different according to the satisfaction versus unsatisfaction. In addition, improving the promotion emotions of cheerfulness and excitement and the prevention emotion of confidence and security will further improve customer loyalty. A related potential further research could be to examine whether hedonic versus utilitarian, promotion versus prevention goals improve customer loyalty for services as well. Under the budget and time constraints, designers and managers are often compelling to choose among various attributes. If there is no budget or time constraints, perhaps the best solution is to maximize both hedonic and utilitarian dimension of benefits. However, they have to make trad-off process between various attributes. For the designers and managers have to keep in mind that without hedonic benefit satisfaction of the product it may hard to lead the customers to the customer loyalty.
