We have investigated the optimum combination of the environmental noise condition and type of SQUID pickup coil in order to obtain maximum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The measurement probe consists of 1st order gradiometer with pickup coils of 100 mm, 70 mm, and 50 mm baseline length, a 2nd order gradiometer with 50 mm baseline, and a magnetometer. The pickup coils are fabricated by winding Nb wire on a bobbin with 200 mm diameter. Noise and heart signal of a healthy male were measured by various SQUID sensors with different types of pickup coils in various magnetically shielded rooms (MSR), and compared to each other. The shielding factors were found to be 43 dB, 35 dB and 25 dB at 0.1 Hz for MSR-AS, MSR-BS, MSR-CS, respectively. White noises were $3.5\;fT/Hz^{1/2}$, $4.5\;fT/Hz^{1/2}$ and $3\;fT/Hz^{1/2}$ for the 1st order gradiometers, the 2nd order gradiometers, and magnetometer for all MSRs. SNR of the magnetometer was up to 56 dB in MSR-AS, while the 1st order axial gradiometer with 70 mm baseline length was up to 54 dB in MSR-BS. The 2nd order axial gradiometer with 50 mm baseline length of pickup coil was found to be up to 40 dB in MSR-CS.

We designed and constructed integrated 3-channel flux-locked-loop (FLL) electronic system for the control and readout of high-T$_{c}$ SQUIDs. This system consists of low noise preamplifiers, integrators, interface circuits, and software. FLL operation was carried out with biased signals of 19 KHz modulated current and 150 KHz modulated flux, which are reconstructed as detected signals by preamplifier and demodulator. Computer controlled interface circuits regulate FLL circuit and adjust SQUID parameters to the optimum operating condition. The software regulates interface circuits to make an auto-tuning for the control of SQUIDs, and displays readout data from FLL circuit. 3-channel SQUID electronic system was assembled with 3 FLL-interface circuit boards and a power supply board in the aluminum case of 56 mm ${\times}$ 53 mm${\times}$ 150 mm. Overall noise of the system was around 150 fT/(equation omitted)Hz when measured in the shielded room, 200 fT/(equation omitted)Hz in a weakly shielded room, respectively.y.

본 연구에서는 SQUID를 이용한 생체자기 계측연구에 사용될 자기차폐실의 설치 및 차폐 특성에 대해 소개한다. 차폐실 내부공간의 크기는 $2m(길이){\times}2m(폭){\times}2.5m(높이)$이고 차폐재료는 높은 투자율을 가진 Mumetal과 전기 전도도가 높은 알루미늄으로 구성되어 있다. 직류 지구자장에 대한 차폐율은 차폐실 중심에서 60 dB 이상이며 교류자장에 대한 차폐율은 1 Hz에서는 60 dB, 10 Hz에서는 80~100 dB의 값을 가진다. 차폐실내에서의 자장 잡음은 1 Hz에서 $500\;fT/{\sqrt}Hz$, 10 Hz에서 $100\;fT/{\sqrt}Hz$의 값을 가지며 자장구배잡음은 1 Hz에서 $7\;fT/cm{\sqrt}Hz$ 이하로서 SQUID 자력계에 의한 심자도와 SQUID gradiometer에 의한 뇌자도측정이 가능한 수준이다. 자체 개발된 SQUID 센서를 이용하여 차폐실내에서 심장 및 노로부터 발생하는 자기신호를 검출하였다.

The sea water pipe of engine room in all kinds of ships is being surrounded with severe corrosive environment. Therefore it's leakage part due to corrosion is inevitably prevented by various welding method. In this case corrosion property of welded zone may be considerably different by each welding materials. In this study corrosion resistance of the welded zone of sea water pipe with some welding materials such as shielded metal arc welding materials, inert gas arc welding materials was investigated with electrochemical method.

This paper studied a C-arm's exposure condition and measured scatter rays by thickness and distance. This study reached the following conclusion. 1. Approrimately exposure dose for a patient using fluoroscopy is as follows : 2. Mostly, an operating room was not shielding by lead and operator put on only apron without thyroid and facial part protection. 3. 0.5 mmPb equivalent's apron shielded about 99% of scattered rays at 60 cm from x-ray tube. 4. Scattered rays are depended on distance and thickness so operators are should be careful when using fluoroscopy by C-arm and if possible use high frequency equipment that has a large output.

We have installed a 61-channel magnetocardiography (MCG) system inside a magnetically shielded room (MSR) with a size of $2.4\;m\;{\times}2.4\;m\;{\times}2.4\;m$. The MCG system consists of 1st-order axial gradiometers containing double relaxation oscillation SQUIDs (DROSs) with pick-up coils of a base line of 70 mm. The MSR holds a shielding factor of 50 at 0.1 Hz and 10000 at 100 Hz, when its door in the middle on a front wall is closed. On opening the MSR door, we have obtained the characteristics of the MCG system with a 2.9 Hz noise generated from an air conditioning unit at 13 m distance off the MSR. In an open-door MSR ($140^{\circ}$ opening), a noise at the center channel increases up to $700\;fT/Hz^{l/2}$ at 2.9 Hz and $1.7\;pT/Hz^{1/2}$ at 60 Hz. MCG signals for a healthy human do not show distortion until the door opens to $45^{\circ}$, but show the effect of noise when the door opens further at $90^{\circ}$ and $140^{\circ}$. With the door opens to $45^{\circ}$, MCG measurement can be performed with ease of door operation and without creating claustrophobia for the patient.

We have fabricated a low-noise 61-channel axial-type first-order gradiometer system for measuring fetal magnetocardiography(MCG) signals. Superconducting quantum interference device(SQUID) sensor was based on double relaxation oscillation SQUID(DROS) for detecting biomagnetic signal, such as MCG, magnetoencphalogram(MEG) and fetal-MCG. The SQUID sensor detected axial component of fetal MCG signal. The pickup coil of SQUID sensor was wound with 120 ${\mu}m$ NbTi wire on bobbin(20 mm diameter) and was a first-order gradiometer to reject the environment noise. The sensors have low white noise of 3 $fT/Hz^{1/2}$ at 100 Hz on average. The fetal MCG was measured from $24{\sim}36$ weeks fetus in a magnetically shielded room(MSR) with shielding factor of 35 dB at 0.1 Hz and 80 dB at 100 Hz(comparatively mild shielding). The MCG signal contained maternal and fetal MCG. Fetal MCG could be distinguished relatively easily from maternal MCG by using independent component analysis(ICA) filter. In addition, we could observe T peak as well as QRS wave, respectively. It will be useful in detecting fetal cardiac diseases.

본 논문에서는 MIL-STD-188-125-1에서 제시된 저주파수 자기장 차폐효과 측정 방법의 문제점을 살펴보고, 그 문제점을 개선하기 위해서 직시각형 루프 안테나를 이용한 측정 방법을 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존의 원형 루프 안테나를 사용했을 때보다 슬롯의 위치에 따른 차폐효과 차이를 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였고, 실험을 통해 검증하였다.
