The baseline flattened NMR spectrum has been achieved by several methodologies including pulse manipulation with a series of phase cycling. The background signal inherent in the probe is also main source of baseline distortion both in solution and solid NMR. The simple direct polarization with 90° pulse flipping the magnetization from the z-axis onto the receiver coil requires the strong rf pulse enough to encompass the wide frequency range to excite the resonance of interest nuclei. Albeit the perfect polarization 90° pulse, the signal from the unwanted magnetic fields such as background signal can not be completely suppressed by suitable phase cycling. Moreover, slowly baseline wiggling signal from the low 𝛾 nuclei is not easy to eliminate with multiple pulse manipulation. So there is still need to contrive the new scheme for that purpose in an adroit manner. In this article new triple pulse excitation schemes for TIP and modified DEPTH pulse sequence are analytically examined in terms of arbitrary phase and flip angle of pulse. The suitable phase cycling for these pulse trains is necessary for the good sensitivity and resolution of the spectrum. It is observed that the ¹³C sensitivity TIP experiment is almost equal to the CP/MAS with modified DEPTH sequence, both of which are applicable to both solid and solution state NMR.

The correction of image artifacts due to misadjustment in tuning of RF coils (tip angle) and in the RF single sideband spectrometer was investigated using phase cycling of the $\pi$/2 and $\pi$ pulses in spin-echo sequences. A general procedure was developed for the systematic design of phase cycles that select desirable coherence transfer pathways. To analyze a phase cycling sequence, changes in the coherence level and phase factor for each RF pulse in the spin-echo cycle must be determined. Four different phase cycling schemes (FIXED, ALTERNATE, FORWARD, REVERSED) to suppress unwanted signal components such as mirror and ghost images were evaluated using two signal acquisitions. When the receiver phase factor is cycled counter-clockwise (REVERSED), these artifacts are completely removed.

In this paper a new generalized space vector pulse width modulation scheme is proposed based on the principle of reverse mapping to drive the switches of multilevel inverters. This projected scheme is developed based on the middle vector of the subhexagon which holds the tip of the reference vector, which plays a major role in mapping the reference vector. A new approach is offered to produce middle vector of the subhexagon which holds tip of the reference vector in the multilevel space vector plane. By using middle vector of the subhexagon, reference vector is linked towards the inner two level sub-hexagon. Then switching vectors, switching sequence and dwell times corresponding to a particular sector of a two-level inverter are determined. After that, by using the two level stage findings, the switching vectors related to exact position of the reference vector are directly generated based on principle of the reverse mapping approach and do not need to be found at n level stage. In the reverse mapping principle, the middle vector of subhexagon is added to the formerly found two level switching vectors. The proposed generalized algorithm is efficient and it can be applied to an inverter of any level. In this paper, the proposed scheme is explained for a five-level inverter and the performance is analyzed for five level and three level inverters through MATLAB. The simulation results are validated by implementing the propose scheme on a V/f controlled three-level inverter fed induction motor using dSPACE control desk.

When a high-energy ultrasound propagates through a solid body that contains a crack or a delamination, the two faces of the defect do not ordinarily vibrate in unison, and dissipative phenomena such as friction, rubbing and clapping between the faces will convert some of the vibrational energy to heat. By combining this heating effect with infrared imaging, one can detect a subsurface defect in material efficiently. In this paper a detection of the welding defect of thin SUS 304 plates using the UIR (ultrasonic infrared imaging) technology is described. A low frequency (20kHz) ultrasonic transducer was used to infuse the welded thin SUS 304 plates with a short pulse of sound for 280ms. The ultrasonic source has a maximum power of 2kW. The surface temperature of the area under inspection is imaged by a thermal infrared camera that is coupled to a fast frame grabber in a computer. The hot spots, which are a small area around the defect tip and heated up highly, are observed. From the sequence of the thermosonic images, the location of defective or inhomogeneous regions in the welded thin SUS 304 plates can be detected easily.

잡견의 간흡충증에서 조영기법의 역동적 CT 영상과 MIP 기법을 적용한 자기공명 영상의 질을 비교하여 임상적 적용 가능성을 알아보고자 하였다. 20마리의 잡견(평균 20kg)에 실험적으로 간흡충증을 유발한 후 13주 동안에 간을 중심으로 CT 영상과 MR 영상을 얻었다. CT는 이중나선식방법으로 영상을 획득하였고, bolustracking 방법으로 조영제를 주입하여 arterial phase는 5초 후에 정맥기는 동맥기 scan후 15초에 시작하여 single dynamic scan을 하고, 데이터를 다 단면 영상을 얻기 위해 MnP로 재구성을 하였다. MR 영상은 circularly polarized phased away body coil을 사용하였고, HASTE, FLASH, TSE 기법을 이용하여 모두 2차원 영상을 얻었다. HASTE와 TSE는 해상력을 증가시키기 위하여 interpolation과 지방소거기법을 적용하였다. 데이터를 획득하는 방식으로는 담관을 중심으로 3방향으로 수집한 다음 최대강도투사법으로 재구성하였다. CT와 MR 영상의 평가 방법으로서는 간내담관의 확장, 동맥기에 담관벽의 조영증강, 담관 말단부의 확장, 간의 실질조직묘사, 배경유무를 기점으로 병리학과 의사 1명과 방사선과 의사 3명, 방사선사 5명이 시각적으로 평가를 하였다. MR 영상의 경우 sequence 비교를 위해 정량적분석방법인 CNR과 CR로 평가를 하였다. 감염 후 5마리의 잡견은 죽었으며, 15마리 잡견에서 CT와 MR 검사에서 간내 담관의 만성 확장을 보여 주었다. 조영증강기법인 CT 영상에서는 간 실질조직을 비롯하여 담관벽의 조영증강이 보였고, MR 영상에서는 간내담관 형태와 담관의 말단부의 확장이 MIP 기법을 이용하여 3차원적으로 관찰되었고, CNR과 CR 값이 HASTE($16{\pm}0.83$, 73.3%), TSE($7.06{\pm}3.0$, 62.3%), FLASH($1.19{\pm}0.2$, 6.4%) 순으로 나타났다. CT와 MR 영상은 짧은 검사기법과 다양한 검사기법을 포함하고 있어 간흡충증을 영상화하는데 있어서 진단적 가치가 있다. CT와 MR 영상 검사의 장 단점을 서로 보안하여 검사를 시행한다면 높은 임상적 적용 가능성이 있다.
