A data acquisition (DAQ) system based on oscilloscope was developed and evaluated for radiation detector. The dedicated LabVIEW program that perform the oscilloscope control and the data process was developed. Triggered events for each analog channel were acquired and the output signals were subsequently digitized and recorded for offline processing. Radiation pulse generation circuit was developed to evaluate the intrinsic characteristics of DAQ system. Energy linearity and energy resolution performances were assessed by voltage-peak channels and FWHM obtained from Gaussian fit, respectively. Radiation detector consists of LYSO and GAPD array. The 16 output signals were multiplexed by the RCD networks, and they were fed into the custom-made preamplifiers. Voltage-peak channels was linearly changed as a function of input voltage and the estimated coefficient of determination ($R^2$) was 0.999. No considerable changes in voltage resolution were observed. All 16 crystals were clearly identifiable on the resulting flood image and the mean energy resolution was ~15.1%. This study demonstrated that it is feasible to develop the DAQ system based on oscilloscope and LabVIEW program for radiation detector and the proposed approach offers opportunities to build simple DAQ system in various radiation measurement field.

본 논문에서는 플라이백 DC-DC 컨버터에 사용되는 출력전압 정보를 보다 정확하게 감지하는 피크검출기를 집적회로로 설계하였다. 제안하는 피크검출기의 회로는 하나의 op-amp와 세 개의 트랜지스터로 이루어져 있다. 제안하는 회로는 단순한 구조로 이루어져 있기 때문에 제안하는 회로는 출력전압을 감지하는 과정에서 지연시간을 최소화 할 수 있다. 회로에서 op-amp와 몇 개의 트랜지스터를 사용함으로써, 제안하는 피크검출기가 종래의 커패시터와 다이오드로 설계된 피크검출기를 대신해 칩의 집적화가 가능해지고, 플라이백 컨버터의 모듈을 구성하는 소자가 트랜지스터로 대체되고 칩의 면적이 줄어들어 가격을 줄일 수 있다. 제안하는 회로는 0.35 um CMOS 공정을 이용하여 칩으로 제작하여 측정하였고, 칩 측정결과 모의실험결과와 잘 일치함을 보였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 사인파의 입력신호를 출력신호가 최대 0.3 ~ 3.1 %의 오차 범위 내에서 피크전압을 유지하는 것을 확인하였다. 칩 측정결과 모의실험결과와 잘 일치함을 보였다. 제안하는 회로의 결과를 통하여 종래의 피크검출기 회로의 좋지 않은 레귤레이션을 향상시키기 위하여 높은 플라이백 컨버터의 동작을 보일 수 있다. 플라이백 컨버터의 출력전압을 정확하게 감지하여 안정적인 컨버터 동작을 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Total organic carbon(TOC) can be determined by means of combustion and flame ionization detector. The principle of string method is that a sample acidified to pH2 and transferred into combustion tube by string is oxidized with air. Another combustion tube method is that organic compounds are oxidized in the combustion tube charged with CuO and cobalt asbestos after the acidified sample is injected directly by microsyringe. Carbon dioxide evolved was reduced under specially treated nickel catalyst and hydrogen, the methane produced was detected by flame ionization detector. Linear relationship was found between concentration and the peak height by the string method. The peak area in the case of combustion tube method is in the range of 1-200ppm. The coefficient of variation by string method was 2.3% and that by combustion tube method was 1.8%. The lower detectable limit was about 10mol. Advantages of the latter are simplicity, sensitivity and reproducibility. TOC in contineous stream can also be determined automatically by means of the string method.

In this research, a mesh connected VLSI structure is proposed for the real time computation of the generalized Hough transform(GHT). The purpose of the research is to design a generalized Hough transformer that can be realized as a single chip processor. The GHT has been modified to yield a highly parallel structure consisting of simple processing elements(PEs) and communication networks. In the proposed structure, the GHT can be computed by first assigning an image pixel to a PE and performing shift and add operations. The result of the CAD circuit simulation shows that it can be computed in the time proportional to the number of pixels in the pattern. In addition to the Hough transformer, the peak detector has been designed to reduce 1)the number of the I/O operations between the transformer and the host computer and 2) the host computer's burden for peak detection by transmitting only the local peaks detected from the transformed accumulator. It is expected that the proposed single chip Hough transformer with peak detector makes a fast and inexpensive edge based object recognition systems possible for many industrial and military applications.

The present work used the efficiency transfer method used to calculate the full energy peak efficiency (FEPE) curves of the (2"*2" & 3"*3") NaI (Tl) detectors based on the effective solid angle subtended between the source and the detector. The study covered the effect of the self attenuation coefficient of the source matrix (with a radius greater than the detector's radius) on the detector efficiency. $^{152}$ An Eu aqueous radioactive source covering the energy range from 121.78 keV up to 1408.01 keV was used. In this study an empirical formula was deduced to calculate the difference between the measured and the calculated efficiencies [without self attenuation] at low and high energy regions. A proper balance between the measured and calculated efficiencies [with self attenuation] was achieved with discrepancies less than 3%, while reaching 39% for calculating values [without self attenuation] due to working with large sources, or for low photon energies.

The Cd_0.95Mn_0.05Te_0.98Se_0.02 (CMTS) ingot was grown by the vertical Bridgman technique at low pressure. All wafers showed high resistivity, which suggests potential as a room-temperature semiconductor detector. The resistivity of the CMTS planar detector was 1.47 × 10¹⁰ Ω·cm and mobility lifetime product of electrons was 1.29 × 10^-3 cm²/V. The spectroscopic property with Am-241 and Co-57 was evaluated. The energy resolution about 59.5 keV gamma-ray of Am-241 was 11% and the photo-peak of 122 keV gamma-ray from Co-57 was clearly distinguished. The result shows the first detector-grade CMTS in the world and proves CMTS's potential as a radiation detector operating at room temperature.

Electron capture deteotor가 장착된 gas chromatography를 이용하여 간장에서 3-monochloro-1, 2-propanediol(MCPD)의 효율적인 분석조건을 조사하였다. MCPD를 직접 분석하는 것 보다 MCPD를 phenylboric acid로 유도체화하여 분석하는 경우가 sharp한 peak를 얻을 수 있었으며, 감도도 우수하였다. 유도체화 방법을 실온에서 5분간 vortex혹은 9$0^{\circ}C$에서 20분 반응시켜 분석한 결과, R값이 각각 0.9997과 0.9977로 큰 차이를 보이지는 않았다. MCPD의 추출방법은 Extrelut 3 column을 사용하는 것이 ethyl acetate로 직접 추출하는 것보다 회수율이 월등히 높았으며, MCPD의 농노가 높을수록 회수율이 낮게 나타났다. 하지만 MCPD를 정성적으로 분석하고자 할 경우 ethyl acetate로 직접 추출하는 방법도 유효한 것으로 나타났다. 간장에 MCPD를 spiking 하고 gas chromatography-electron capture detector 및 gas chromatography-mass selective detector로 분석한 결과 sharp한 모양의 peak를 얻을 수 있었으며, mass spectrum으로 MCPD를 확인할 수 있었다.

Todays, medium energy resolution detectors are preferably used in radioisotope identification devices(RID) in nuclear and radioactive material categorization. However, there is still a need to develop or enhance « automated identifiers » for the useful RID algorithms. To decide whether any material is SNM or NORM, a key parameter is the better energy resolution of the detector. Although masking, shielding and gain shift/stabilization and other affecting parameters on site are also important for successful operations, the suitability of the RID algorithm is also a critical point to enhance the identification reliability while extracting the features from the spectral analysis. In this study, a RID algorithm based on Bayesian statistical method has been modified for medium energy resolution detectors and applied to the uranium gamma-ray spectra taken by a LaBr3:Ce detector. The present Bayesian RID algorithm covers up to 2000 keV energy range. It uses the peak centroids, the peak areas from the measured gamma-ray spectra. The extraction features are derived from the peak-based Bayesian classifiers to estimate a posterior probability for each isotope in the ANSI library. The program operations were tested under a MATLAB platform. The present peak based Bayesian RID algorithm was validated by using single isotopes(²⁴¹Am, ⁵⁷Co, ¹³⁷Cs, ⁵⁴Mn, ⁶⁰Co), and then applied to five standard nuclear materials(0.32-4.51% at.²³⁵U), as well as natural U- and Th-ores. The ID performance of the RID algorithm was quantified in terms of F-score for each isotope. The posterior probability is calculated to be 54.5-74.4% for ²³⁸U and 4.7-10.5% for ²³⁵U in EC-NRM171 uranium materials. For the case of the more complex gamma-ray spectra from CRMs, the total scoring (ST) method was preferred for its ID performance evaluation. It was shown that the present peak based Bayesian RID algorithm can be applied to identify ²³⁵U and ²³⁸U isotopes in LEU or natural U-Th samples if a medium energy resolution detector is was in the measurements.

In this paper, a real-time pitch detector LPC vocoder as implemented on a high speed digital signal processor, NEC 7720, is described. The pitch detector was based mainly on the SIFT algorithm. The SIFT pitch detector consists primarily of a digital low pass filter, inverse filter, computation of autocorrelation, a peak picker, interpolation, V/UV defcision and a final pitch smoother. In our approach, modification, mainly on the V/UV decision and a final pitch smoother, was made to estimate more accurate pitches. An 16-bit fixed-point aithmatic was employed for all necessary computation and the simulated results were compared with the eye detected pitches obtained from real speech data. The pitch detector occupies 98.8% of the instruction ROM, 37% of the data ROM, and 94% of internal RAM and takes 15.2ms to estimate a pitch when an analysis frame is consisted of 128 sampled speech data. It is observed that the tested results were well agreed with the computer simulation results.
