  • On-line geometrical quality assurance system has been developed using electronic portal imaging system(OQuE). EPID system is networked into Pentium PC in order to transmit the acquisited images to analysis PC. Geometrical QA parameters, including light-radiation field congruence, collimator rotation axis, and gantry rotation axis can be easily analyzed with the help of graphic user interface(GUI) software. Equipped with the EPID (Portal Vision, Varian, USA), geometrical quality assurance of a linear accelerator (CL/2100/CD, Varian, USA), which is networked into OQuE, was performed to evaluate this system. Light-radiation field congruence tests by center of gravity analysis shows 0.2~0.3mm differences for various field sizes. Collimator (or Gantry) rotation axis for various angles could be obtained by superposing 4 shots of angles. The radius of collimator rotation axis is measured to 0.2mm for upper jaw collimator, and 0.1mm for lower jaw. Acquisited images for various gantry angles were rotated according to the gantry angle and actual center of image point obtained from collimator axis test. The rotated images are superpositioned and analyzed as the same method as collimator rotation axis. The radius of gantry rotation axis is calculated 0.3mm for anterior/posterior direction (gantry 0$^{\circ}$ and 170$^{\circ}$) and 0.7mm for right/left direction(gantry 90$^{\circ}$ and 260$^{\circ}$). Image acquisition for data analysis is faster than conventional method and the results turn out to be excellent for the development goal and accurate within a milimeter range. The OQuE system is proven to be a good tool for the geometrical quality assurance of linear accelerator using EPID.

  • We present a fast inspection method of machine vision for in-line quality assurance of liquid crystal displays(LCD) and plasma display panels(PDP). The method incorporates an optical spatial filter in the Fourier plane of the imaging optics to block the normal periodic pattern, extracting only defects real time without relying on intensive software image process. Special emphasis is on designing a collimated white light source to provide high degree of spatial coherence for effective real time Fourier transform. At the same time, a low level of temporal coherence is attained to improve defect detection capabilities by avoiding undesirable coherent noises. Experimental results show that the proposed inspection method offers a detection accuracy of 15% tolerance, which is sufficient for industrial applications.

  • 오늘날 우리가 개발하는 소프트웨어 시스템은 사람의 실수로 인하여 문제가 생기는 경우가 너무나도 많다. 소프트웨어 테스팅은 품질보증에서 가장 중요한 부분이며, 특히 소프트웨어의 명세, 디자인, 코드 구현 부분에 대한 객관적인 평가를 가능하게 한다. 국내에서는 아직까지는 소프트웨어 테스팅 및 품질보증 활용의 경우가 미흡한 실정이지만 외국의 경우 개발비용의 40% 이상이 테스팅에 소요되는 경우도 있다. 본 고에서는 해외 IT 기업의 테스팅 수행 현황을 조사함으로써 IT 분야에 있어서 소프트웨어 테스팅 및 품질보증의 역할이 무엇인가를 살펴보도록 하겠다.

  • The increase in the productivity and the assurance of quality machining on the NC machines depends on, amongst other things, the perfection of the programming using adequate methods of interpolation. The programming language is until now based on the code ISO 6983 which defines the principles of the code G. This latter is not well adapted to the new strategies of machining imposed by the machining of complex surfaces and machining at high speed with the increasingly more severe requirements of precision. The CNC which adopt the interpolation of NURBS (Non Uniform Rational B-spline) are very rare (FANUC Siemens${\ldots}$). Based on the advantages of NURBS (continuity, flexibility, smoothing$.{\ldots}$), new formats G are currently developed but their use is still very limited. Our work consists on putting forward these new approaches of programming using the interpolation of NURBS. For this reason, a program capable to trace NURBS trajectories under Visual BASIC 6.0 was developed. This program was used thereafter in CAM software for the generation of NURBS formats like their new formats NC.

  • Vibration-based structural damage detection through optimization algorithms and minimization of objective function has recently become an interesting research topic. Application of various objective functions as well as optimization algorithms may affect damage diagnosis quality. This paper proposes a new damage identification method using Moth-Flame Optimization (MFO). MFO is a nature-inspired algorithm based on moth's ability to navigate in dark. Objective function consists of a term with modal assurance criterion flexibility and natural frequency. To show the performance of the said method, two numerical examples including truss and shear frame have been studied. Furthermore, Los Alamos National Laboratory test structure was used for validation purposes. Finite element model for both experimental and numerical examples was created by MATLAB software to extract modal properties of the structure. Mode shapes and natural frequencies were contaminated with noise in above mentioned numerical examples. In the meantime, one of the classical optimization algorithms called particle swarm optimization was compared with MFO. In short, results obtained from numerical and experimental examples showed that the presented method is efficient in damage identification.

  • Background: Infantile colic (IC) is excessive crying in otherwise healthy children. Despite vast research efforts, its etiology remains unknown. Purpose: Most treatments for IC carry various side effects. The collection of evidence may inform researchers of new strategies for the management and treatment of IC as well as new clues for understanding its pathogenesis. This review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and possible mechanisms of probiotics for mananaging IC. Methods: Ten papers met the study inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager (RevMan) software and a random-effects model. Results: This meta-analysis revealed that probiotics are effective for treating infantile colic, while the review showed that this efficacy may be due to their anti-inflammatory effects. Conclusion: Probiotics may be an important treatment option for managing infantile colic due to their anti-inflammatory properties.

  • A computer software program, called BIDAS (BIoassay Data Analysis Software) is developed to interpret the bioassay measurement data in terms of intakes and the committed effective dose using the human respiratory tract model (HRTM), gastrointestinal tract (GI-tract) model and biokinetic models currently recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) to describe the behavior of the radioactive materials within the body. The program consists of three modules; first, a database module to manage the bioassay data, second, another databasee module to store the predicted bioassay quantities of each radionuclide and finally, a computational module to estimate the intake and committed effective dose calculated with the bioassay quantity measurement values from either an acute or chronic exposure of the radionuclies within the body. This paper describes the features of the program as well as the quality assurance check results of the BIDAS software program.
