Purpose: Three phase bone scan was considered sensitive in Patients with Reflex Symphathetic Dystrophy Syndrome (RSDS). Generally, three phase bone scan in the RSDS patients shows increased uptake of one side extremity joint. But three phase bone scan has been performed with flow, blood pool and delayed scan. We performed blood pool half body scan in order to investigate its usefulness. Materials and Methods: From October 2007 to September 2009, three phase bone scan (flow, blood pool, half body blood pool, delayed) was performed after injection of 750 MBq of $^{99m}Tc$-DPD in diagnosed patients with RSDS (M:F=8:7, R:L=9:6). For quantitative analysis, we obtained the count ratios of bilateral hands by drawing a region of interest (ROI) in the three phase images and compared with the count ratios of shoulders in half body blood pool and delayed images. Results: In flow images, right/left ratios were $1.09{\pm}0.53$. In blood pool images, right/left ratios were $1.13{\pm}0.47$ (hand), $1.08{\pm}0.26$ (shoulder). In delayed images, right/left ratios were $1.24{\pm}0.75$ (hand), $1.11{\pm}0.31$ (shoulder). As a result, Log of right/left counts of the others and that of shoulder blood pool image were correlated well with statistical significance (Spearman's R, p<0.005 SPSS for windows ver.12.0). Conclusion: Half body blood pool scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of patients with RSDS. Moreover, Half body blood pool scan reduced false negative and false positive rates. In order to improve agreement on interpretation of RSDS, Blood pool half body scan should be established as common criteria.

We demonstrate z-scan method as a tool for investigating the molecular orientational order in organic solution when high static electric field is applied. Experiments are performed for the solution of 0.5% (by weight) 4-dimethylamino-4'-nitrostilbene in cyclopentanone and nonlinear refractive index $n_{2}$, is measured to be $-0.905\times10^{-8}\textrm{cm}^2/MW$ at $1.064{\mu}m$. When static electric field of 3.45 KV fmm is applied, the anisotropy ratio of n, is measured to be 1.34 and the molecular orientational order parameters $

_2 and

_4$ are found to be 0.092 and -0.128, respectively. ively.

This paper deals with the indoor localization problem for a SSMR (Skid Steering Mobile Robot) subjected to wheel-ground friction and with one LRF (Laser Range Finder). In order to compensate for some friction effect, a friction related coefficient is estimated by the recursive least square algorithm and appended to the maneuvering command. Also to reduce odometric information based localization errors, the lines are extracted with scan points of LRF and matched with the ones of the corresponding map built in advance. The present friction compensation and scan map matching schemes have been applied to a laboratory SSMR, and experimental results are given to validate the localization performance along an indoor corridor.

An efficient automatic inspection system for Floating Seal is developed, The proposed system consists of a high resolution line scan camera, microcomputer, and PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). In order to perform rapid inspection, The ROI (Region of Interest) is extracted from the original image. There are types of defects; shape defects and surface defects. Each features of defects are captured by edge detect, segmentation, morphological operation, and threshold analysis. PLC controller is used to synchronize the whole system and store the inspection results temporarily to reduce the overhead of microcomputer. As a result, the system is being utilized successfully in a teal inspection line.

In this paper, ultrasonic microscope system has been constructed with the small aperturre acoustic lens and the angle controller, and the new type of B-scanultransonic imaging has been analyzed. The system with small aperture lens was used to detect flaw existing within the thick specimen and its resolution was in the range of one wavelength at interior plane of sample. The anle controller was used to excited surface acoustic wave or shear wave. In order to obtain B-scan image of the flaw existig at interior of solids, shear wave has been excited and backscattering signals from the flaw have been processed. In experimental results, B-scan ultransonic images have been obtain from the flaws of varable shape and measured flaw size from the images has been in good agreement with practical size in the range of 10% error.

Vertical Colour Selection (VCS) is an option for slim CRTs with increased sharpness and brightness. The direction of self-convergence of the DY is changed to vertical in order to obtain better spot uniformity, but the line scan direction remains horizontal. Hence, no video conversion is needed, contrary to transposed scan. In this paper we address two issues: First, there is a high risk of moire, since the scan lines and the phosphor stripes are parallel. We propose a feedback mechanism guiding the electron beams towards the middle of the mask slots. As positive side effects, the brightness is improved and the shadow mask can be made of a cheap type of steel. Secondly, VCS deflection coils have to satisfy different requirements than coils in ordinary CRTs. We discuss the design rules for self-convergent VCS coils and present simulation results.

In many applications of UAVs flying in low altitude, the steady supply of accurate height measurements is very important for the UAVs to complete their mission successfully. In order to do this, a barometer or GPS height measurements are widely used. However, because these two sensors have their limitations in the application environment, a method for fusing these two measurements to produce reference heights are required. In this paper, a reference height generation filter is designed for UAV(Unmanned Air Vehicle) applications. The barometer errors originated by the change of the atmospheric environment are modeled using random walk models, and then the errors are identified and compensated through the ZSB(zero-scan-back) filter algorithm using the GPS height measurements. The performance of the proposed filter is demonstrated by realistic simulations.

In this paper, we propose a fast partial distortion algorithm using normalized dithering matching scan to get uniform distribution of partial distortion which can reduce only unnecessary computation significantly. Our algorithm is based on normalized dithering order matching scan and calibration of threshold error using LOG value for each sub-block continuously for efficient elimination of unlike candidate blocks while keeping the same prediction quality compared with the full search algorithm. Our algorithm reduces about 60% of computations for block matching error compared with conventional PDE (partial distortion elimination) algorithm without any prediction quality, and our algorithm will be useful to real-time video coding applications using MPEG-4 AVC or MPEG-2.

This paper decribed the development of Thermal Imaging Oservation System(TIOS) using the serial-parallel scan method. The detectors scan five lines at a time. These are put into serial order by electronic scan converter. Digital memory and high speed multiplexer are used for the serial conversion instead of charge coupled devices. As a result, thermal imaging system be presented with exellent performance which MRTD value is less than $0.5^{\circ}K$ at 7.5 cycles/mm.
