Objective : In period of convalescence and aftereffect, facial palsy patients suffer from social and psychological problems, besides experiencing physical inconvenience. So Quality of life is important Evaluation in treatment or facial palsy. Nevertheless the aims of recent study were only trying to explain about objective symptoms. Therefore, Oriental-Western Medicine was performed, effectiveness of treatment were measured in Quality of life. Methods : Acute facial palsy patients who visiting whin 5days completed questionnaire about Quality of life, if he(or she) participated voluntarily. Questionnaire are comprised of general characteristics, Facial Disability Index(FDI), WHOQOL-BREF, VAS and House-Brackmann grade. Questionnaire used two times, the first medical examination and 4weeks later after starting Oriental-Western Medicine. The statistical analysis was performed by GraphPad Prism 4.0. T-test was used to verify effectiveness between the two groups. Results : 1. When we compared the first medical examination with 4weeks later, score of FDI-Physical function and FDI-Social/Well-bieng function increased but they were not valid statistically. 2. When we compared the first medical examination with 4weeks later, in WHOQOL-Brefoverall domain and physical domain, score increased. In WHOQOL-Bref-psychological, Social, Environment domain, score decreased. but, they were not valid statistically. 3. VAS, House-Brackmann grade decreased, but, they were not valid statistically. Conclusion : The number of subjects with facial palsy in our study(N=5) was too small, and the period of study(4 weeks) was short, too. For this reason, our data were not valid statistically. But Facial palsy Patient's Quality of life has risen.

With regard to reliability of solder joint, the significant failures include open defects that occurs from alignment problem, Head in Pillow by PCB's warpage, the crack of solder by CTE mismatch, and the crack of IMC layer by mechanical impact. Especially as PCB down-sizing and surface finish is under progress, brittle failure of IMC layer between solder bump and PCB pad becomes a big issue. Therefore, it requires enhancing the level of difficulty in the existing assessment method and improving the measurement through the study on the mechanism of IMC formation, growth and brittle failure. Under this circumstance, this study is intended to suggest the direction of research for improving the reliability on the crack such as improvement of IMC brittle fracture.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of natural and synthetic commercial pigments on the growth performances, skin pigmentation and color difference of broiler chicks. Experimental diet was formulated to have isocalories and isonitrogen for experimental period, and xanthophyll concentration in the diet was 8.45g/1on. The experiment was conducted for six weeks with 450 broiler chicks. The birds were assigned to 10 treatment groups and each group had 15 chicks with three replications. Results showed that the types of pigments did not have any effect on body weight, feed intake and feed efficiency. The mortality was lower with higher pigment supplementation and greater in the natural pigment groups than in the synthetic ones. Dressed carcass, abdominal fat pad and gizzard weight were not significantly different among treatments. The pigmentation of shank skin was increased with high pigment supplementations, and the pigmentation effect was greater with synthetic pigments than in natural pigments. In the shank meat or skin, the color difference(L*, a*, b*, c* and h*) was not consistently related to pigmentation.

A 9-year-old Korean native cattle was referred with chief complaint of left hind limb lameness during 2 months. He could not bear a weight on the left hind limb. On palpation, the stifle joint was swollen and mild fever was felt. In X-ray images, increased joint fluid, subchondral bone erosions, osteophyte formation along the trochlear ridge, and changes in the shape of the infrapatellar fat pad were shown. Cranial displacement of the tibia and intercondylar eminence could be seen. Based on the history, physical examination and radiographic findings, the bull was diagnosed as anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Because he could not participate in further bullfighting competition anymore, we indicated the slaughter as soon as possible.

This paper introduces a multi-touch recognition and tracking method for self capacitive TSP(Touch Screen Pannel). Self capacitive TSP recognizes finger touches by sensing capacitive change of ITO transparent conducting film arranged by rows and columns on the TSP pannel. They have some advantages such as high SNR, fast sensing, and simple touch processing, but have very difficulties for multi-touch processing. This disadvantage makes that the mutual capacitive TSPs, which have no such disadvantage, have been more widely used especially for multi-touch applications. However, since the other applications for remote control pad or recently developed wearable devises have only restrictive requirements for multi-touch, the disadvantage of self capacitive TSP is not a critical problem. In this paper, we first describe multi-touch recognition problems in self capacitive TSP and then propose how to overcome those problems and a tracking method of two touches when they are moving. Experimental results of our method showed that our algorithm works well in two touches.

디스플레이의 기술발전에 의해 대면적 고해상도의 LCD가 제작되어 왔다. 이에 따라 LCD 점등검사를 위한 Probe Unit의 기술 또한 급속도로 발전하고 있다. 고해상도에 따라 TFT LCD pad가 미세피치화 되어가고 있으며, panel의 검사를 위한 Probe 또한 30 um 이하의 초미세피치를 요구하고 있다. 따라서, 초미세 pitch의 LCD panel의 점등검사를 위한 Probe Unit의 개발이 시급하가. 본 연구에서는 30 um 이하의 미세피치의 Probe block을 위한 Slit wafer의 식각 공정 조건을 연구하였다. Si 공정에서 식각율과 식각깊이에 따른 profile angle의 목표를 설정하고, 식각조건에 따라 이 두 값의 변화를 관측하였다. 식각실험으로 Si DRIE 장비를 이용하여, chamber 압력, cycle time, gas flow, Oxygen의 조건에 따라 각각의 단면 및 표면을 SEM 관측을 통해 최적의 식각 조건을 찾고자 하였다. 식각율은 5um/min 이상, profile angle은 $90{\pm}1^{\circ}$의 값을 목표로 하였다. 이 때 최적의 식각조건은 Etching : SF6 400 sccm, 10.4 sec, passivation : C4F8 400 sccm, 4 sec의 조건이었으며, 식각공정의 Coil power는 2,600 W이었다. 이러한 조건의 공정으로 6 inch Si wafer에 공정한 결과 균일한 식각율 및 profile angle 값을 보였으며, oxygen gas를 미량 유입함으로써 식각율이 균일해짐을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 최적의 Slit wafer 식각 조건을 확립함으로써 Probe Unit을 위한 Pin 삽입공정 또한 수율 향상이 기대된다.

In this paper, we have proceeded research for failures of semiconductor device stressed by Pressure Cooker Test(PCT). After PCT stress, we found various failures such as delamination between aluminium line and device layers and chemical composition transition of aluminium. We have executed the analysis using the physical and chemical observation equipments. There were the main failures that aluminium loss of aluminium pad is occurred and $Al_xO_y$($Al_2O_3$ or $Al(OH)_3$)) layer is formed abnormally. The primary cause of the failures is reaction of supplied fluorine or chlorine gases and infiltrated moisture during etching process.
