본 연구에서는 기존의 ridge waveguide laser diode(RWG LD)보다 ridge폭에 따른 측방향 단일모드 특성이 우수하고 planar 화에 유리하며 측방향의 유효 굴절률차를 ridge 구조에 추가로 성장된 InGaAsP층의 두께로 조절이 가능한 Buried RWG LD를제작하였다. 본 연구에서는 Buried RWG LD를 CBE장치로 InGaAs/InGaAsP multiple quantum well(MQW) 에피 웨이퍼를 성장하고, LPE로 재성장하여 B-RWG LD를 제작하였다. 또한 ridge 폭을 5 $\mu\textrm{m}$와 7 $\mu\textrm{m}$로 하여 B-RWG LD를 제작하고 특성을 비교하여 보았다. 제작된 7 $\mu\textrm{m}$ B-RWG LD에서 광출력이 20㎽에 이를 때까지 고차모드 발진에 의한 kink현상이 일어나지 않았으며, 포화 광출력이 80 ㎽ 이상임을 확인하였다. 제작된 B-RWG LD가 측방향 단일모드로 동작함을 확인하기 위해 FFP을 측정한 결과, ridge 폭이 5 $\mu\textrm{m}$일 때는 2.7I$_{th}$ , ridge 폭이 7 $\mu\textrm{m}$일 때는 2.4I$_{th}$ 까지 단일모드로 동작함을 확인할 수 있다.

A "C-sphere" specimen geometry was used to determine the failure strength distributions of a commercially-available bearing-grade silicon nitride ($Si_3N_4$) with ball diameters of 12.7 and 25.4 mm. Strengths for both diameters were determined using the combination of failure load, C-sphere geometry, and finite element analysis and fitted using two-parameter Weibull distributions. Effective areas of both diameters were estimated as a function of Weibull modulus and used to explore whether the strength distributions predictably scaled between each size. They did not. That statistical observation suggested that the same flaw type did not limit the strength of both ball diameters indicating a lack of material homogeneity between the two sizes. Optical fractography confirmed that. It showed there were two distinct strength-limiting flaw types common to both ball diameters, that one flaw type was always associated with lower strength specimens, and that a significantly higher fraction of the 25.4-mm-diameter C-sphere specimens failed from it. Predictable strength-size-scaling would therefore not result as a consequence of this because these flaw types were not homogenously distributed and sampled in both C-sphere geometries.

Purpose : The aim of this study was to investigate healed bovine bone particles ($Bio-Oss^{(R)}$) and absorbable collagen sponge ($CollaPlug^{(R)}$) applied extraction socket site at 4-6 months' post-extraction. Material and methods : From August, 2004 to October, 2005, 17 sockets in 5 adult patients were selected out of the patients whose received ridge preservation using bovine bone particles and absorbable collagen sponges at Dept. of oral and maxillofacial surgery in Samsung Medical Center. There were 5 male patients, ages 30 to 58 years. Immediate postoperation and 4-6 months after operation study models were compared to evaluate the ridge dimension by measuring vertical height and horizontal width of alveolar ridge. Results : The measurements at 4-6 months revealed, in the ridge dimension, a loss of vertical height of 0.91${\pm}$0.40mm and horizontal width of 1.25${\pm}$0.58mm. There was no adverse reaction. Conclusion : This study suggests that treatment of extraction sockets with graft materials and collagen sponges is valuable in preserving alveolar bone in extraction sockets and preventing alveolar ridges defects.

A fingerprint is an impression of the friction ridges of all or any part of the finger. A friction ridge is a raised portion of the epidermis on the palmar (palm and fingers) or plantar (sole and toes) skin, consisting of one or more connected ridge units of friction ridge skin. There are two fundamental principles underlying the use of fingerprints as a means of identifying individuals - immutability and uniqueness. Friction ridges develop on the fetus in their definitive form before birth. Ridges are persistent throughout life except for permanent scarring. Ridge patterns and the details in small areas of friction ridges are unique and never repeated. Friction ridge patterns vary within limits, which allow for classification. We developed the high temperature-moisturizing method to obtained quality postmortem impressions from decomposing friction ridge skin. This technique is a simple procedure that uses boiling water to recondition the skin. This reconditioning process enhances detail present on the fingers and exposes ridge detail not visible to the naked eye. Therefore, we can recover the quality fingerprints, even from the worst decomposed bodies.

본 논문은 지문의 특징점들이 융선으로 서로 연결되어진 구조 정보를 활용한 지문 매칭 알고리즘에 대해 연구하였다. 매칭에 이용한 특징은 분기점과 단점의 위치 및 분기점과 단점에서 융선의 진행 방향 등이다. 동일 융선 상에 존재하는 특징점들에 대한 연결정보를 추출하고, 이를 이용하여 원문지문과 입력지문간의 좌표 변환의 기준이 되는 특징점 쌍을 검출한다. 서로 일치하는 한 쌍의 특징을 이용해 입력지문을 이동 회전하여 원문지문과 일치시킨 후 각 특징들의 위치, 융선 방향이 일치하는 개수에 따라 지문의 동일여부를 판단하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 회전과 이동에 무관한 지문인식이 가능하다. 89명으로부터 얻은 445매의 지문영상에 대한 실험결과, 지문매칭의 처리속도가 31%향상되었다.

Explosive bolts are one of pyrotechnic release devices, which are highly reliable and efficient for a built-in release. Among them, ridge-cut explosive bolts which utilize shock wave generated by detonation to separate bolt body produce minimal fragments, little swelling and clean breaks. In this study, separation phenomena of ridge-cut explosive bolts or ridge-cut mechanism are computationally analyzed using Hydrocodes. To analyze separation mechanism of ridge-cut explosive bolts, fluid-structure interactions with complex material modeling are essential. For modeling of high explosives (RDX and PETN), Euler elements with Jones-Wilkins-Lee E.O.S. are utilized. For Lagrange elements of bolt body structures, shock E.O.S., Johnson-Cook strength model, and principal stress failure criteria are used. From the computational analysis of the author's explosive bolt model, computational analysis framework is verified and perfected with tuned failure criteria. Practical design improvements are also suggested based on a parametric study. Some design parameters, such as explosive weights, ridge angle, and ridge position, are chosen that might affect the separation reliability; and analysis is carried out for several designs. The results of this study provide useful information to avoid unnecessary separation experiments related with design parameters.

We report the effect of Ca doping in $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ (YBCO) thin films grown on the Rolling- Assisted, Biaxially Textured Substrates (RABiTS) with the architecture of $CeO_2/YSZ/CeO_2/Ni$. Critical currents of bilayer and trilayer structures of $YBCO/Y_{0.7}Ca_{0.3}Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$/(YCaBCO) as well as undoped YBCO for comparison have been measured in a wide range of temperatures and fields. For $6-8^{\circ}$ grain boundaries, 30% Ca-doping in bilayer structure enhances $J_c$ as high as 35%. The enhancement is larger at low temperatures and at magnetic fields. On the other hand, 30% Ca-doping in trilayer structure reduces $J_c$ as high as 60%. Combined with slightly lower $T_c$, this indicates that Ca is overdoped in this structure and degrades GBs.

Purpose: Anterior ridge defect after tooth extraction results in unfavorable appearance. Ridge augmentation procedures should be preceded by careful surgical-prosthetic treatment planning, and various techniques can be used in anterior ridge augmentation. Materials and Methods: Three patients showed deformed ridges after tooth extraction. Three different techniques ; onlay-interpositional connective tissue graft; bovine hydroxyapatite graft with free connective tissue graft; bovine hydroxyapatite graft with resorbable collagen membrane following free connective tissue graft; were used for anterior ridge augmentation. Result: Soft tissue graft can be used in small amount of ridge defect, hard tissue graft combined with soft tissue graft can be used in large amount of ridge defect. After ridge augmentation, about three months of healing period, augmented tissue was stabilized. The final restoration was initiated after this healing period, and the tissue form was maintained stable. Conclusion: Careful diagnosis and surgical-prosthetic treatment planning with joint consultation prior to surgery should be performed in order to attain an optimal esthetic results.

얼굴 인식 시스템의 성능은 조명 변화로 인하여 발생하는 개인내 (intra-person) 차이가 개인간 (inter-person)의 차이보다 클 수 있기 때문에 조명 변화에 많은 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 대칭형 bilinear 모델을 이용하여 조명 요소와 신원 요소를 분리하는 방법을 제안한다. Bilinear 모델로 조명 요소와 신원 요소를 얻기 위한 translation 과정은 반복적 역행렬을 구하는 것이 요구되는데 입력 데이타에 따라 수렴하지 않는 경우가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 완화하기 위해서 ridge regression 모델과 bilinear 모델을 결합한 ridge regressive bilinear 모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 모델은 조명 요소와 신원 요소의 분산을 적절히 줄여줌으로서 bilinear 모델에 안정성을 제공하며, 인식에 더 많은 고차원 요소 정보를 이용하게 함으로써 인식 성능을 높여 준다. 실험 결과에서 제안한 ridge regressive bilinear 모델이 bilinear 모델, 고유얼굴(eigenface) 방법, Quotient image 보다 좋은 인식 성능을 보여줌을 확인 할 수 있다.

Background: In this research article, we evaluate the use of sub-periosteal tunneling (tunnel technique) combined with alloplastic in situ hardening biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP, a compound of β-tricalcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite) bone graft for lateral augmentation of a deficient alveolar ridge. Methods: A total of 9 patients with deficient mandibular alveolar ridges were included in the present pilot study. Ten lateral ridge augmentation were carried out using the sub-periosteal tunneling technique, including a bilateral procedure in one patient. The increase in ridge width was assessed using CBCT evaluation of the ridge preoperatively and at 4 months postoperatively. Histological assessment of the quality of bone formation was also carried out with bone cores obtained at the implant placement re-entry in one patient. Results: The mean bucco-lingual ridge width increased in average from 4.17 ± 0.99 mm to 8.56 ± 1.93 mm after lateral bone augmentation with easy-graft CRYSTAL using the tunneling technique. The gain in ridge width was statistically highly significant (p = 0.0019). Histomorphometric assessment of two bone cores obtained at the time of implant placement from one patient revealed 27.6% new bone and an overall mineralized fraction of 72.3% in the grafted area 4 months after the bone grafting was carried out. Conclusions: Within the limits of this pilot study, it can be concluded that sub-periosteal tunneling technique using in situ hardening biphasic calcium phosphate is a valuable option for lateral ridge augmentation to allow implant placement in deficient alveolar ridges. Further prospective randomized clinical trials will be necessary to assess its performance in comparison to conventional ridge augmentation procedures.
