The Fontan operation is a heart operation used to treat complex congenital heart defects like tricuspid atresia, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, pulmonary atresia and single ventricle. A single ventricle is dedicated to pumping oxygenated blood to the systemic circulation and the entire systemic venous return reaches the pulmonary arterial system without the direct influence of a pumping chamber. In the patient with Fontan operation, it is important to achieve adequate pulmonary blood flow and cardiac output in anesthetic management. In this case, a 10-year-old boy (19.6 kg, 114 cm) with cleft palate, cerebral palsy and severe mental retardation, who underwent a Fontan operation when he was 4 years old, was presented for deep sedation. Because he was suffering from eating disorder with cleft palate, the orthodontist and the plastic surgeon planned to insert intraoral orthodontic device before cleft palate repair. But it was impossible to open his mouth for alginate impression procedure. After careful pre-anesthesia evaluation we planned to administer deep sedation with propofol infusion. After Intravenous catheter insertion, we started propofol intravenous infusion with the formula of a loading dose of 1.0 mg/kg followed by an infusion rate of 6.0 mg/kg/hr with syringe pump. His blood pressure was remained around 80/40 mmHg after loss of consciousness, but he could not maintain his airway patent. So we lowered the infusion rate to 3.0 mg/kg/hr, immediately. The oxygen saturation was maintained above 95% with nasal oxygen supply, and blood pressure was maintained around 100-80/60-40 mmHg. After the sedation of 110 minutes with propofol (the infusion rate to 3.0-5.0 mg/kg/hr), he fully regained consciousness, and was discharged without complication after 1 hour observation. In case of post-Fontan patient, intravenous deep sedation with propofol was safe and effective method of behavioral management during dental treatment.

In this paper, a Ka-band harmonic mixer is designed and fabricated on the base of the multiplier theory that there is a bias point to maximize the third harmonic order($3f_{LO}$) with respect to a fundamental LO frequency($f_{LO}$), which can make the high-order mixing element($f_{RF}{\pm}3f_{LO}$) to be greater than other mixing elements, Pumping a RF frequency($f_{RF}$) and LO frequency($f_{LO}$). The harmonic mixer by the proposed design method is fabricated by using a commercial GaAs MESFET device with a plastic package and overcome these disadvantages that a conventional mixer in Ka-band suffer from a high cost, inefficient productivity and circuit complexity. The harmonic mixer have a -10 dB conversion loss at the IF Sequency($3f_{LO}-f_{RF}$=1.0GHz) by selecting a gate bias voltage for the maximum third-order LO harmonic element($3f_{LO}$=34.5 GHz) as pumping LO frequency($f_{LO}$=11.5 GHz) With respect to RF Sequency ($f_{RF}$=33.5GHz)

Objectives : The mechanical properties of Korean electric cupping systems are studied via experimental measurements. The study aimed at establishing the fundamentals of industrialization and systemization of oriental medicine device industry, as well as improving the quality of life for many Koreans. Methods : We reviewed the studies on traditional cupping as well as modern one to fine necessary factors for electric cupping systems. To characterize the mechanical properties of Korean electric cupping systems, we measured the pressure characteristics of commercially available electric cupping system by using an automatic pressure acquisition system and a standard cup. The pumping capability was checked at 40 seconds, and the stability of the suction cup was checked at 600 seconds. We also acquired the noise level of each system in clinical setting. To check the portability of each system, we also measured its physical dimensions. We scrutinized system manuals provided by the system manufacturers. Results : It took less than 5 second to reach the pressure if the connection between the air hose and the vacuum valve of the cupping system was secure. Pressure diminished to no more than 10% for 600s for all systems. Noise levels were 55~70 dB. Increase in pressure was too fast to control for a designated vacuum level except for one product. Conclusions : The Pumping ability of the systems is impressive and reliable. Pressure retention ability of each cup is quite reliable and reproducible. Therefore, their mechanical performances were worthy of recommendation. Some of them had noise level higher than 60 dB and they were bothersome. It was also suggested that the control for low to middle pressure needed to be accomplished by the cupping system.

In general, the function of intake structure, whether it be a open channel, a fully wetted tunnel, a sump or a tank is to supply an evenly distributed flow to a pump station. An even distribution of flow, characterized by strong local flow, can result in formation of surface or submerged vortices, and with certain low values of submergence, my introduce air into pun, causing a reduction of capacity and efficiency, an increase in vibration and additional noise. This study investigated experimentally the formation of the vortex to understand the mechanism of vortex formation and to prevent the formation of vortex in the sump model using by the model test and PIV tool. Sump model was manufactured to 1/8 scale with the drawing of W intake pumping station. from the results of model test and PIV, the vortex were occurred the in the whole section. Thus, sump model tests with the anti-vortex device might be considered to prevent the formation of vortex in the sump model.

In this paper, flicker noise characteristic and channel hot carrier degradation of NMOSFETs with plasma nitrided oixde (PNO) and thermally nitrided oxide (TNO) are analyzed in depth. Compared with NMOSFET with TNO, flicker noise characteristic of NMOSFET with PNO is improved significantly because nitrogen density in PNO near the Si/$SiO_2$ interface is less than that in TNO. However, device degradation of NMOSFET with PNO by channel hot carrier stress is greater than that with TNO although PMOSFET with PNO showed greater immunity to NBTI degradation than that with TNO in previous study. Therefore, concurrent investigation of the reliability as well as low frequency noise characteristics of NMOSFET and PMOSFET is required for the development of high performance analog MOSFET technology.

In this paper, a third-order harmonic mixer is designed using frequency multiplier theory for the microwave airborne radar. Unlike the basic mixer design method, the gate bias voltage, at which the third-harmonic component of the Local frequency (LO) is the maximum, is selected using a frequency multiplier theory to maximize the third-harmonic mixing component at the intermediate frequency (IF). The proposed harmonic mixer was designed and manufactured using a commercial GaAs MESFET device in a plastic package, and it was possible to improve the high conversion loss, circuit complexity, high cost, and manufacturing complexity of the existing microwave mixer. The harmonic mixer using the proposed design method has a -8 ~ -10 dB conversion loss by pumping 11.5 GHz LO with a +5 dBm level when operating from 33.0 GHz to 36.0 GHz and the 1-dB gain compression point (P1dB) of 0 dBm.

This paper reports a fractional-N phase-locked-loop(PLL) frequency synthesizer that is implemented in a $0.35-{\mu}m$ standard CMOS process and generates a quadrature signal for an FRS terminal. The synthesizer consists of a voltage-controlled oscillator(VCO), a charge pump(CP), loop filter(LF), a phase frequency detector(PFD), and a frequency divider. The VCO has been designed with an LC resonant circuit to provide better phase noise and power characteristics, and the CP is designed to be able to adjust the pumping current according to the PFD output. The frequency divider has been designed by a 16-divider pre-scaler and fractional-N divider based on the third delta-sigma modulator($3^{rd}$ DSM). The LF is a third-order RC filter. The measured results show that the proposed device has a dynamic frequency range of 460~510 MHz and -3.86 dBm radio-frequency output power. The phase noise of the output signal is -94.8 dBc/Hz, and the lock-in time is $300{\mu}s$.

A new design of four-pass dye laser amplifier affording a narrow-bandwidth pulsed output is demonstrated to suppress the amplified spontaneous emission(ASE) carried by the amplifier output and reduce the possibility of parasitic oscillation in the amplifier. By the direct pulsed amplification of a cw 100 mW dye laser under a Q-switched doubled Nd:YAG laser pumping with energy of 5.6 mJ/pulse, high-peak-power pulsed output with 1.5-mJ energy in 130-MHz bandwidth is obtained corresponding to a power gain greater than $2{\times}10^6$ and an energy efficiency of 27%. The ASE ratio in the four-pass amplifier output is dramatically reduced by using a diffraction grating in the amplifier. Compared with the results obtained from the normal operation of the amplifier with no frequency-selective device, the ASE ratio is reduced by a factor in excess of 10 to remain under 1.5% of the amplifier output whereas the total output energy is slightly increased by ~4%.

Polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membrane with thin film composite structure was commercialized for seawater desalination process. Recently, it has been reported that some RO processes for high pressure and recovery leads to reducing in energy cost and pretreatment scale compared with earlier process. The development of energy recovery, pumping device and RO elements with high pressure and rejection made high pressure and recovery process possible. In this study, permeation properties of commercialized seawater RO membrane were investigated under the condition of high pressure and recovery. In the RO sheet membrane test 3.5% NaCl of synthetic seawater was used. The synthetic seawater contained only sodium chloride. In the RO module test, natural seawater was used at Happo Bay, Masan city. As the results, RO membrane with high durability of pressure was better than that with high rejection of seawater for high pressure and recovery process. Seawater rejection of high concentrate tends to be improved by high pressure operation.
