Nowadays, the tracking technology of Quadrant Detector will become actual by new micro devices. Based on the past filed data of the reception experiment with COMETS satellite, we have studied on new device (AD8302, phase difference detector) was acquired and suspect its abilities. In 1998, we have developed a Quadrant Detector for mobile to track a weak signal from satellite on Ka band of COMETS. The Quadrant Detector is comprised of four dedicated feed components for reception under an environment of Nakagami - Rician fading, and one transmission and reception feed component. We were successful in receiving a 23 GHz beacon signal from ICE transponder of the COMETS and succeeded in tracking the satellite from a moving vehicle at speeds of approximately 10 ~ 20 Km/h on paved roads. In 2018, with new device AD8302, we have verified new QD system and performed a simulation, based on the past filed experiment. This new device shall be improving the tracking abilities from mobile body on the earth to the multimedia satellite.

In the nuclear medicine imaging, quality control (QC) process using quadrant bar phantom is fundamental aspect of evaluating the spatial resolution. In addition, QC process of gamma camera is performed by daily or weekly. Recently, Monte Carlo simulation using the Geant4 application for tomographic emission (GATE) is widely applied in the pre-clinical nuclear medicine field for modeling gamma cameras with pixelated cadmium telluride (CdTe) semiconductor detector. In this study, we modeled a pixelated CdTe semiconductor detector and quadrant bar phantom (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mm bar thicknesses) using the GATE tool. Similarity analysis based on correlation coefficients and peak signal-to-noise ratios was performed to compare image qualities for various source to collimator distances (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 cm) and collimator lengths (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 cm). To this end, we selected reference images based on collimator length and source to collimator distance settings. The results demonstrate that as the collimator length increases and the source to collimator distance decreases, the similarity to reference images improves. Therefore, our simulation results represent valuable information for the modeling of CdTe-based semiconductor gamma imaging systems and QC phantoms in the field of nuclear medicine.

The detector performance is important role in acquiring the gamma rays from patients. Among parameters of detector performances, there is density, which relates to respond to gamma rays. Therefore, we confirm the detection efficiency according to various detector materials based on the density parameter using GATE (geant4 application for emission tomography) simulation tool. The NaI (density: 3.67 g/cm³), CZT (Cadimium Zinc Telluride) (density: 5.80 g/cm³), CdTe (Cadmium Telluride) (5.85 g/cm³), and GAGG (Gadoinium Aluminum Gallium Garnet) (density g/cm³) were used as detector materials. In addition, the point source and quadrant bar phantom, which is modeled for 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mm thicknesses, were modeled to confirm the quatitative analysis using sensitivity (cps/MBq) and the full width at half maximum (FWHM, mm) at the 2.0 mm bar thickness containing visual evaluation. Based on the results, the sensitivity for NaI, CZT, CdTe, and GAGG detector materials were 0.12, 0.15, 0.16, and 0.18 cps/MBq. In addition, the FWHM for quadrant bar phantom in the 2.0 mm bar thickness is 3.72, 3.69, 3.70, and 3.73 mm for NaI, CZT, CdTe, and GAGG materials, respectively. Compared with performance of detector materials according to density, the high density can improve detection efficiency in terms of sensitivity and mean count. Among these detector materials, the GAGG material is efficient for detection of gamma rays.

본 논문에서는 4분할 광 검출기 상에 입사된 광점의 크기에 따른 optical beam deflection방식에서의 변위 측정감도의 변화에 대해 살펴보았다. 3mW의 헬륨-네온 레이저를 사용하여 optical beam deflection방식의 광학적 변위 측정 장치를 제작하였으며 광 검출기에 도달하는 광점의 크기를 변화시켜가며 제작된 변위 측정 장비가 나타내는 변위 측정감도를 관찰하였다. 또한 광 검출기에 도달하는 optical beam power를 원형의 균일한 분포를 지닌 광점으로 설정하여 광점 크기의 변화에 따른 변위 측정감도를 계산하였다. 측정된 결과와 계산을 통하여 검출기 상에 입사하는 광점의 크기가 작을수록 변위 측정감도가 증가함을 알 수 있었으며 이는 나노미터 급의 변위측정 장비 개발에 있어 광 검출기에 도달하는 광점의 크기를 최소화함으로써 변위 측정감도를 최적화 할 수 있음을 나타낸다.

Cutrent technological development toward miniaturization requires smaller components. These components usually generate complex multi-DOF motions other than simple 1-DOF motlon. Therefore it is essential to develop measurement methodology for 6-DOF motions. In this paper, a new 6-DOF measurement system for milli-struchlre is presented. This methodology basically employs the Optical Beam Deflection Method (OBDM) with a diffraction grating. A laser beam is emitted toward the difliaction grating which could be attached on the surface of a milli-structue and the incident ray is dif'||'&'||'acted in several directions. Among these difliacted beams, $0^{th}$ and $\pm$ $1^{th}4" order difkicted rays are detected by 4 Quadrant Photodiodes. From coordinate values fram each detector, we can get information for 6-DOF motions with lineariration method, Required resolutions for milli-struchue measurement are suh-micrometer in translation and arcsec in rotation. Experimental results indicate that proposed system has possibility to satisfy this requirement.

One of the traditional optical methods to monitor a tool is a CCD sensor-based vision system which captures an aspect of the tool in real time. In the case using the CCD sensor, specific lens-modules are necessary to monitor the tool with higher resolution than its pixel size, and a microprocessor is required to attain desired data from captured images. Thus theses additional devices make the entire measurement system complex. Another method is to use a pair of an optical source and a detector per measuring axis. Since the method is based on the intensity modulation, the structure of the measurement system is simper than the CCD sensor-based vision system. However, in the case measuring the three dimensional position of the tool, it is difficult to apply to micro machine-tools because there may not be space to integrate three pairs of an optical source and a detector. In this paper, in order to develop a tool-origin measurement system which is employed in micro machine-tools, the improved method to measure a tool origin in x, y and z axes is introduced. The method is based on the intensity modulation and employs one pair of an optical source radiating divergent beams and a quadrant photodiode to detect a three dimensional position of the tool. This paper presents the measurement models of the proposed tool-origin sensor. The models were verified experimentally The verification results show that the proposed method is possible and the induced models are available for design.

We are developing Adaptive Optics (AO) system for astronomical use. The He-Ne laser works as an artificial light source. The tip-tilt correction servo is added to our AO system. The tip-tilt term, among the Zernike terms, is the biggest contributor of wavefront deformation caused by atmospheric turbulence at small telescopes. The tip-tilt correction servo consists of a Piezo tip-tilt platform with a mirror, a quadrant photodiode as a tip-tilt sensor, and controllers. The Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor measures the residual wavefront errors and they are corrected by the MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) deformable mirror. The MEMS deformable mirror allows the compact size at low cost compare to adaptive secondary mirror and other deformable mirrors. As the frame rates of the MEMS deformable mirror is about tens of kHz, the frame rates of the detector in wavefront sensor is the bottleneck of the wavefront correction speed. For faster performance, we replaced a CCD which provides frame rates only 70 Hz with a CMOS with frame rates up to 450 Hz.

We have developed a control electronics system for an infrared detector array of KASINICS (KASI Near Infrared Camera System), which is a new ground-based instrument of the Korea Astronomy and Space science Institute (KASI). Equipped with a $512{\times}512$ InSb array (ALADDIN III Quadrant, manufactured by Raytheon) sensitive from 1 to $5{\mu}m$, KASINICS will be used at J, H, Ks, and L-bands. The controller consists of DSP(Digital Signal Processor), Bias, Clock, and Video boards which are installed on a single VME-bus backplane. TMS320C6713DSP, FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array), and 384-MB SDRAM(Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) are included in the DSP board. DSP board manages entire electronics system, generates digital clock patterns and communicates with a PC using USB 2.0 interface. The clock patterns are downloaded from a PC and stored on the FPGA. UART is used for the communication with peripherals. Video board has 4 channel ADC which converts video signal into 16-bit digital numbers. Two video boards are installed on the controller for ALADDIN array. The Bias board provides 16 dc bias voltages and the Clock board has 15 clock channels. We have also coded a DSP firmware and a test version of control software in C-language. The controller is flexible enough to operate a wide range of IR array and CCD. Operational tests of the controller have been successfully finished using a test ROIC (Read-Out Integrated Circuit).

목적: 조기위암 환자에서 널리 시행되고 있는 복강경 위 절제술은 큰그물막을 부분 절제함으로 그물막 경색의 가능성을 가지고 있다. 이에 저자들은 위암 환자의 복강경 위절제술 시행 후 발생한 그물막 경색의 임상적 고찰을 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2003년 4월부터 2007년 11월까지 동아대학교 의료원 외과에서 병리조직검사에서 T2 이하의 환자로복강경 위절제술이 시행된 390명의 환자를 대상으로 술 후 복부 단층 촬영 사진을 이용하여 그물막 경색을 진단하였다. 위암 데이터 베이스와 환자들의 차트를 이용하여 그물막 경색의 빈도, 발생 위치와 크기 및 증상 여부를 조사하였으며 그물막 경색이 발생하지 않은 환자들의 임상 병리적 특징들과 비교하였다. 결과: 전체 390명 환자 중 그물막 경색은 9명에서 발생(2.3%)하였으며 평균 나이는 57.2세였고 9명 중 남자가 6명 여자가 3명이었다. 발생 부위는 상복부 정중과 좌 상복부가 각각 3명이었다. 임상 증상은 배꼽 주위와 좌 상복부에 비특이적인 복통이 각 1명에서 나타났으며 9명 모두 술 후 복막 전이와 감별이 가능하였다. 그물막 경색군의 환자는 비경색군에 비해 수술 전 높은 비만도를 나타내었고(P=0.0230) 위절제 범위에서 위전절제술이 많이 시행된 것으로 나타났다(P=0.0011). 결론: 위암 환자의 복강경 위절제술 후 발생하는 그물막경색은 일차성 그물막 경색들과는 상이한 임상적 특징을 가지며 복막 재발과는 복부 재발과는 복부 단층 촬영으로 구별될 수 있다. 향후 다기관 공동 연구를 통하여 보다 더 정확한 임상 양상이 규명될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
