Purpose : 체내에서 optimal한 dose distribution을 얻기 위해 도입된 IMRT를 시행할 때 사용하는 MLC는 기계특성상 장기적인 check와 교정을 요한다. 또한 MLC는 static하지 않고 dynamic하기 때문에 leaf position의 실제 위치가 매우 중요하다. MLC QA를 위해 QA 소요시간 및 노력이 많이 MLC position check 요구되는 불편이 있어, 삼성서울 병원에서 필름을 이용한 MLC position check device를 제작하여 간편하게 사용하고 그 우수성에 대해 결과를 보고하고자 한다. Materials and Method : MLC position을 check하기위해 사각형 의 device(acryl:$40{\times}40{\times}5cm$)를 제작하였다. position check device의 정확도를 위해 표면에 real scale 표시용으로 Pb marker를 2cm 간격으로 부착하였다. MLC QA film은 마주보는 (opposite) MLC leaf의 간격이 4mm로 set up한 상태에서 double exposure하여 marker를 이용하여 오차를 분석하였다. MLC position check device의 효율성을 평가하기위해 6MV photon으로 10번 반복 실험을 실시하여 MLC leaf의 평균오차를 조사하고 조사에 걸린 시간을 비교하여 유용성을 평가하였다. Results : 실험결과 MLC leaf의 평균오차를 조사하고 조사에 걸린 시간을 비교하여 유용성을 평가하였다. 범위는 1.45mm였고, 최소 오차는 0.34mm로 나타났다. 1회 조사에 걸린 시간은 평균적으로 약 30분 정도 소요되었다. MLC position check device의 효율성을 평가한 결과오차의 반복성은 관찰되지 않았다. Conclusion : MLC leaf position의 정기적인 check와 교정을 위해 본원에서는 주1회 정기 position error를 check하고 있으며, 평균 월1회 교정을 한다. 본 실험을 통해 MLC position check device를 사용하여 leaf 오차가 2mm이하의 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었다. 또한 MLC position check device를 사용하면 짧은 시간에 모든 leaf의 position error를 쉽게 측정할 수 있고 한 장의 필름으로 모든 결과를 평가할 수 있어 경제성 및 업무의 효율성도 높일 수 있었다.

It is clinically important to determine the physiologic mandibular position as the therapeutic position of the patients who needs the oral rehabilitation and occlusal treatment. Several methods have been employed for the recording the mandibular position. The gothic arch tracer is one of methods to record the mandibular position. The purpose of this study is to record the border position, chewing position, and myocentric position using the newly developed intra oral tracer in 10 subjects with TMJ clicking sound and 10 subjects without TMJ clinking sound.. This study showed that newly developed intra oral tracer allowed clinician the determination of the treatment position on the same horizontal plate which can be used in the full mouth rehabilitation and occlusal treatments. There was no statistically significant difference between clicking group and nonclicking group in the distance of border position-chewing position and the distance of border position-myocentric centric position.

Anesthetized dogs were tilted from horizontal to the upright and head down position. Tilting to the upright position was followed by an increase in heart rate. In the head down position a decreased heart rate was obtained. The arterial blood pressure was decreased in the upright position and was decreased markedly in the head down position. The central venous pressure was decreased in the upright position and was markedly decreased down to the negative pressure in the head down position. The respiratory rate was slightly increased in the upright position comparing to that in the horizontal position. No remarkable changes were noted in the head down position. From the above results the following factors were discussed The decreased arterial blood pressure during the upright position was supposed to be the secondary effect from the diminished venous return that was suggested by the decreased central venous pressure. The decreased arterial blood pressure in the head down position was also supposed as the above reason as the diminished central venous pressure during the tilt. In addition the cardioinhibitory effects originated from the baroreceptors might have been operated during head down tilting. In the heart rate there was slight tachycardia in the upright position this was assumed as the abolished cardioinhibitory impulses from the baroreceptor in the upright position. On the contrary, despite of the decrease of arterial blood pressure in the head down position as well as in the upright, the bradycardia have been appeared. This was suggestive of cardioinhibitory impulses from the baroreceptors which was stretched during head down tilting. From the above findings there is a possibility of continous cardioinhibitory responses during head down tilting for this kind of the short period of 10 minutes which was chosed in this study.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of joint position on the distraction distance in patients with adhesive capsulitis of glenohumeral joint. The study was conducted upon 20 adults in their 40's with the findings of adhesive capsulitis of glenohumeral joint. These subjects were subdivided into 3 groups, which were a group with neutral position(n=7), second group with resting position(n=7) and third group with end-range position(n=6). After having the subject wearing sleeveless shirts exposing armpit and lying straight on the plinth, a physical therapist with OMT qualification pulled glenohumeral joint at the Grade III of Kaltenborn-Evjenth traction; and the distance between glenoid fossa and humeral head was measured with ultrasound. Following the application of traction, the group with resting position($.67{\pm}0.29$) exhibited the longest distance between humeral head and glenoid fossa, and it was followed by neutral position($.50{\pm}0.25$) and end-range position($.35{\pm}.21$) in this order. From the comparison of these groups, there was no significant difference in distraction distance between resting position and neutral position; and there was again no significant difference in distraction distance between end-range position and neutral position. However, there was a significant difference in distraction distance between end-range position and resting position(p<.05). Upon application of the Grade III of Kaltenborn-Evjenth traction, it was evident that the distance between humeral head and glenoid fossa can be varied depending on the location of the joint.

In this study, a position synchronous control algorithm applied to two-axes pneumatic cylinder driving apparatus is proposed. The position synchronous control algorithm is composed of position controller and synchronous controller. The position controller is designed to minimize the effect of several nonlinear characteristics peculiar to the pneumatic cylinder driving apparatus on position control performance. The synchronous controller is designed to reduce the synchronous error. The effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm is proved by experimental results.

The purpose of this study was to compare the sleep characteristics between the prone and the supine position in healthy newborns. The 48 newborns were observed in the prone position and the supine position respectively on the 2nd day after birth. The data were collected from January to May, 1999. The state of a newborn was classified and categorized to 6 states (deep sleep. light sleep, drowsy, quiet alert, active alert, crying) by Barnard. The movements of eyes, face and extremities, pulse and arterial oxygen were observed and recorded continuously from the start of sleep after feeding until the time of being woken for the next feeding by a trained nurse The data was analyzed by using paired t-test. The results of this study were as follows; 1. There was no significant difference in the length of sleeping time between the prone and the supine position. 2. There was no significant difference in the length and frequencies of each states(deep sleep, light sleep, drowsy, quiet alert, active alert, crying) between the prone and the supine position But the frequency of light sleep in the supine position was significantly higher than that of the prone position. 3 There was no significant difference In the numbers or eyes movements between the prone and the supine sleep position. But the amount of facial and extremity movement in the supine position was significantly higher than those in the prone position 4. There was no significant difference in the arterial oxygen content between the prone and the supine sleep position. 5. There was no significant difference in the heart rates between the prone and the supine sleep position. The above results indicated that the newborns in the prone Position moved less and slept deeper than those in the supine position. though there was no difference in the length of sleep or arterial oxygen content between the prone and the supine sleep Position. But. Nurses and mothers should consider the relationship between the sleep Position and SIDS suggested by previous researches. The infant's 'awakening' during sleep is a normal process and rather valuable because it can provide an opportunity to promote a stronger relationship between mother and baby. So, It is suggested that the supine sleep position is better than the prone sleep position for infants.

The important factors that cause position error in X-Y robot are inertial force, frictions and spring distortion in screw or coupling. We have to estimate these factors precisely to correct position errors, Which is very difficult. In this paper, we makes systems to inspect metal stencil which is used to print solder paste on pads of SMD of PCB with low precision X-Y robot and vision system. To correct position error that is caused by low precision X-Y robot, we defines position error vector that is formed with position of objects that exist in reference and camera image. We apply MHT(Modified Hough Transformation) for the aim of determining the dominant position error vector. We modify reference image using extracted dominant position error vector and obtain reference image that is the same with camera image. Effectiveness and performance of this method are verified by simulation and experiment.

This paper proposes an efficient detection of absolute position of a robot joint using two incremental encoders. We considers a robot joint comprising a motor, a reducer, two encoders, and a motor drive. An incremental(first) encoder provides motor's rotor position or input position of reducer while another incremental(second) encoder does output position of the reducer. A table is made where the relationship between the first and the second encoder counts is recorded. The key point is placed where the table is constructed: when a pulse occurs in the second encoder, there exists a corresponding unique count value of the first encoder. The absolute position is detected using the table by searching the second encoder position corresponding to the first encoder count value when a pulse occurs in the second encoder. The proposed method needs a small rotation, as just one second encoder's pulse angle, for the initial absolute position detection.
