TOF technique is one of the skills that can obtain the object's 3D depth information. But depth image has low resolution and fingertip occupy very small region, so, it is difficult to find the precise fingertip's 3D information by only using depth image from TOF camera. In this paper, we estimate fingertip's 3D location using Arm Model and reliable hand's 3D location information that is modified by hexahedron as hand model. Using proposed method we can obtain more precise fingertip's 3D information than using only depth image.

한국자원연구소 제작된 TOF spectrometer는 입자의 비행시간과 에너지를 동시에 측정 기록하여 질량분별된 에너지 스펙트럼을 얻고자 하는 목적으로 제작되었다. 그러나 질량분별이 필요치 않은 후방 산란실험에서는 비행시간의 측정만으로 훌륭한 에너지 계측기가 된다. 중이온 산란분석법(heavy ion RBS)은 He을 사용하는 산란분석법에 비하여 원리적으로 분해능이 우수하나 사용하는 반도체 검출기의 에너지 분해능의 불량이 이러한 장점을 상쇄하는 실정이다. 그러나 TOF spectrometer를 중이온 산란실험의 에너지 계측기로 사용하면 H, He에 대한 반도체 검출기 정도의 낮은 에너지분해능 수준을 유지할 수 있으므로 중이온 산란실험의 원리적인 장점을 살릴 수 있다. 한국자원연구소에서는 He RBS의 취약점으로 지적되어온 medium elements에 대한 질량분해능과 깊이 분해능을 향상시키고자 140$^{\circ}$ 산란각에 TOF spectrometer가 위치하는 Heavy Ion Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (HIRBS) 시스템을 설계하였다. 설계된 TOF spectrometer를 채용하였을 때 기대되는 질량분해능 향상효과와 분석의 최적조건에 관하여 논한다.

In this research the TOF (time of flight) of ultrasonic signal is measured using Xilinx's Zynq SoC (system on chip). The TOF is calculated from the difference between periods during which RF (radio frequency) and ultrasonic signals come across a distance, and then travelling distance is obtained by multiplying the TOF by the ultrasonic speed in the air. For this purpose, a ultrasonic pulse is generated from a Zynq's internal ADC, a FIR (finite impulse response) filter, and a Kalman filter. And a RF reference pulse is generated from a RF interface. Based on baremetal multiprocessing, the Kalman filter and the RF interface are c-programmed on Zynq's dual processor cores, with other components fabricated on Zynq's FPGA. With this HW/SW co-design, both lower resource utilization and much smaller designing period were obtained than the HW design. As a design tool, Vivado IDE(integrated design environment) is used to design the whole signal processing system in hierarchical block diagrams.

Our goal is the development of a system that estimates the location of interested point in a room with accuracy and low cost. Non-contacting position estimating method is widely used in various areas. Among these methods, acoustic signal-based method is the cheapest and provides reasonably accurate estimation as a result of many research efforts. Most of the acoustic-signal-based three-dimensional location estimators such as 3D sonic digitizer are using the ultrasound, and are organized with two procedures; time-of-flight (TOF) estimation and localization estimation. Since the errors in estimating the TOF could be accumulated with that of localization estimate, accuracy of TOF estimate is as...

The timeliness and accuracy of test results are crucial factors for clinicians to decide and promptly administer effective and targeted antimicrobial therapy, especially in life-threatening infections or when vital organs and functions, such as sight, are at risk. Further research is needed to refine and optimize matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS)-based assays to obtain accurate and reliable results in the shortest time possible. MALDI-TOF MS-based bacterial identification focuses primarily on techniques for isolating and purifying pathogens from clinical samples, the expansion of spectral libraries, and the upgrading of software. As technology advances, many MALDI-based microbial identification databases and systems have been licensed and put into clinical use. Nevertheless, it is still necessary to develop MALDI-TOF MS-based antimicrobial-resistance analysis for comprehensive clinical microbiology characterization. The important applications of MALDI-TOF MS in clinical research include specific application categories, common analytes, main methods, limitations, and solutions. In order to utilize clinical microbiology laboratories, it is essential to secure expertise through education and training of clinical laboratory scientists, and database construction and experience must be maximized. In the future, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry is expected to be applied in various fields through the use of more powerful databases.

In this study, we measured the complex efficiency of a physiologically active antibody, a chelator and radiosiotopes using the ESI-TOF/Ms system for develop good radiopharmaceuticals. For a precise measurement, TLC is a low accuracy method. Loading of same amount of sample is difficult for each test, and work to quantify accurately the results obtained through TLC cannot be afforded compared to the use of other analytical instruments. The method of analysis using a mass spectrometer is capable of a mass analysis of proteins for quantitative analysis. The conjugates of the chelator (CHX-A- DTPA) and the antibody (IgG) were separated through MWCO, and were analyzed using ESI-TOF and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The analysis using MALDI-TOF is roughly divided into measurements on mass spectrometry. When conjugating a small molecular weight of CHX-A-DTPA and a large molecular weight of IgG, distinguishing the peak of the conjugate and the peak of IgG was difficult. However, an ESI-TOF mass spectrometer system is capable of an analysis of mass by decentralizing the IgG. It is utilized as a technique for measuring the metabolic processes during conjugation and the stability evaluation of radiopharmaceuticals. When establishing this technique, the accuracy of the overall radiophar-maceutical analysis is expected to be able to be improved.

Since the presence of the chemical impurities and defect at surfaces and interfaces greatly influence the properties of various semiconductor devices, an unambiguous chemical characterization of the metal and semiconductor surfaces become more important in the view of the miniaturization of the devices toward nano scale. Among the various conventional surface characterization tools, Electron-induced Auger Electron Spectroscopy (EAES), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Secondary Electron Ion Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS) are being used for the identification of the surface chemical impurities. Recently, a novel surface characterizaion technique, Positron-annihilation induced Auger Electron Spectroscopy (PAES) is introduced to provide a unique method for the analysis of the elemental composition of the top-most atomic layer. In PAES, monoenergetic positron of a few eV are implanted to the surface under study and these positrons become thermalized near the surface. A fraction of the thermalized positron trapped at the surface state annihilate with the neighboring core-level electrons, creating core-hole excitations, which initiate the Auger process with the emission of Auger electrons almost simultaneously with the emission of annihilating gamma-rays. The energy of electrons is generally determined by employing ExB energy selector, which shows a poor resolution of $6{\sim}10eV$. In this paper, time-of-flight system is employed to measure the electrons energy with an enhanced energy resolution. The experimental result is compared with simulation results in the case of both linear (with retarding tube) and reflected TOF systems.
