본 연구에서는 혐기성 소화 성능 향상을 위해 초음파 및 알칼리 전처리에 의한 폐활성 슬러지의 가용화 효과를 조사하였다. 초음파 및 알칼리 전처리는 세포벽의 파괴로 인하여 모세관 흡입 시간을 증가시킬 뿐만 아니라 상등액의 용존성 화학적 산소요구량, 단백질 및 탁도 농도를 증가키는 것으로 나타났다. 알칼리와 초음파 전처리를 병행한 슬러지 가용화가 초음파 전처리만을 수행한 경우에 비해 용존성 화학적 산소요구량과 단백질 증가가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 알칼리와 초음파 전처리를 동시에 수행한 경우 폐활성 슬러지의 고형물 농도 증가에 따라 가용화 효율이 감소하는 것으로 조사되었다.

Purpose: The aerosol generated by ultrasonic scaler can contain bacteria or virus which can penetrate into body through respiratory systems of dentists, dental hygienist or patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of chlorhexidine digluconate as preoperative mouthrinse or lavage for ultrasonic scaler on the reduction of viable organisms in aerosol produced during periodontal treatment using ultrasonic scaler. Methods: 30 patients with moderate chronic periodontitis were included and divided into 3 groups: Control (no preoperative mouthrinse and tap water as lavage), CHG (preoperative mouthrinse with 0.1% chlorhexidine digluconate and tap water as lavage), CHL (no preoperative mouthrinse and 0.1% chlorhexidine digluconate as lavage). Each patient received scaling or subgingival curettage for 30 min. In CHG group, mouthrinse with chlorhexidine digluconate was performed for 1 min. before treatment. Before, during and after scaling or subgingival curettage, air sampling was performed for 7 min. each (1000 L/7 min.) with trypticase-soy agar plate. Agar plates were incubated in $37^{\circ}C$ aerobically. The numbers of colony-forming units (CFU) were counted and compared. Results: The numbers of CFUs of the samples obtained during treatment were $97{\pm}14.0$ in control, $73.1{\pm}14.9$ in CHG group and $44.5{\pm}9.0$ in CHL group. The difference among the 3 groups was determined to be statistically significant (one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni's correction, p-value: 0.0003). In contrast, the numbers of CFU of samples obtained before and after treatment were not significantly different among the groups. Conclusions: Chlorhexidine digluconate used as preoperative mouthrinse or lavage for ultrasonic scaler can reduce the microorganisms in aerosol produced during periodontal treatment using ultrasonic scaler. Less number of microorganisms were detected when chlorhexidine was used as lavage for ultrasonic scaler.

It is known tat the echoes from the most objects differ from the incident pulses in amplitude and frequency .Especially, the frequency in echoes from moving target is shiftby the Doppler effect. it causes to reduce the receiving sensitivity of piezoelectric transducers that have definite band width. The electric impedance, whichis connected to the electrical terminals, notably changes the resonant frequency of a thickeness mode piezoelectric vibrator with high electromechanical doupling due to the electroelastic effect. Using this effect, we have developed a frequency controllable ultrasonic transducer which is mad eof multi-layered PZT disks to adjust to frequency shifted by Doppler effect. The characteristics of transducer can be obtained by using the equivalent circuit of transmission line model. It was confirmed experimentally that the center frequency and band width of the trasducer could be controlled by the conditions of the electrical terminals. These results coincided with theoretical results.

This paper presents the method of AGV(Automatic guided vehicle)'s moving environment(plane, corner, edge) recognition using SONAR sensor configuration. As for the SONAR sensor, the Crosstalk effect has been generally considered as an inevitable noisy phenomenon in the indoor environment. However, this effect can be used as a clue for classifying and localizing targets in the indoor environment if those can be controlled and used well. EERUF(error eliminate rapid ultrasonic firing) is a method for firing multiple ultrasonic sensors in mobile robot application and multi-echo mode of POLARIOD Device can reduce the Crosstalk effect. Here, Crosstalk effect was reduced using EERUF and applied to the AGV with a simple wall-following algorithm in the indoor environment. This method was tesed by a typical AGV with multi SONAR sensors in the laboratory environment.

초음파 시험기를 이용하여 목재의 파단형상이 초음파의 속도에 미치는 영향과 송수신단자의 위치 변화를 통한 효율적인 결점부위 탐색방법을 검토하였다. 파단의 방향에 따른 초음파 속도는 송수신 단자와 평행방향의 파단에서는 영향을 미치지 않고 수직방향 파단에서만 영향을 주었다. 이는 초음파의 진행 경로에 결점부위가 위치하지 않을시 결점을 파악하지 못하는 단점을 보였다. 또한, 초음파의 진행방향과 수직으로 파단이 되었더라도 초음파가 진행되는 직선상에 파단부위가 존재하는 경우에만 파단여부를 확인할 수 있었다. 결점부위 판별 방법은 송수신 단자를 시편 양끝부분에 서로 엇갈리게(한쪽은 상단부에 반대편은 하단부에 위치) 위치시켰을 때 파단 존재여부가 확인되었다. 일정구간의 파단을 확인한 후 두 송수신 단자를 폭 방향으로 마주보게 위치시켜 구간별로 이동시키며 탐색하면 결점부위가 정밀하게 판별되었다.

For mass product of nanocrystalline ZnO ultrafine powders, self-sustaining combustion process(SCP) and ultrasonic spray combustion method(USCM) were applied at the same time. Ultrasonic spray gun was attached on top of the vertical type furnace. The droplet was sprayed into reaction zone of the furnace to form SCP which produces spherical shape with soft agglomerate crystalline ZnO particles. To characterize formed particles, fuel and oxidizing agent for SCP were used glycine and zinc nitrate or zinc hydroxide. Respectively, with changing combustion temperature and mixture ratio of oxidizing agent and fuel, the best ultrasonic spray conditions were obtained. To observe ultrasonic spray effect, two types of powder synthesis processes were compared. One was directly sprayed into furnace from the precursor solution (Type A), the other directly was heated on the hot plate without using spray gun (Type B). Powder obtained by type A was porous sponge shape with heavy agglomeration, but powder obtained using type B was finer primary particle size, spherical shape with weak agglomeration and bigger value of specific surface area. 9/ This can be due to much lower reaction temperature of type B at ignition time than type A. Synthesized nanocrystalline ZnO powders at the best ultrasonic spray conditions have primary particle size in range 20~30nm and specific surface area is about 20m$^2$/g.

Many techniques are available for destructive and nondestructive measurement of mechanical hardness. The ultrasonic method could be widely applicable as a nondestructive technique. Many studies have examined how changes in the mechanical hardness affect the longitudinal velocity of ultrasonic waves. This approach aims to estimate the overall velocity variations in specimens. However, proper nondestructive examination techniques are needed as effective tools for analyzing the effects of heat treatment on the surface of the specimens. Therefore, in this study, the effect on the hardness of piston rods was nondestructively measured using surface ultrasonic waves. The hardness after heat treatment was investigated at various depths in the specimens, and the velocity of the surface ultrasonic waves was measured with respect to the hardness of the piston rods. In addition, finite element method simulations were performed to confirm the behavior of the waves.

Ultrasonic guided wave testing is a very promising non-destructive testing method for rails, which is of great significance for ensuring the safe operation of railways. On the basis of the semi-analytical finite element (SAFE) method, a analytical model of 59R2 grooved rail was proposed, which is commonly used in the ballastless track of modern tram. The dispersion curves of ultrasonic guided waves in free rail and supported rail were obtained. Sensitivity analysis was then undertaken to evaluate the effect of rail elastic modulus on the phase velocity and group velocity dispersion curves of ultrasonic guided waves. The optimal guided wave mode, optimal excitation point and excitation direction suitable for detecting rail integrity were identified by analyzing the frequency, number of modes, and mode shapes. A sinusoidal signal modulated by a Hanning window with a center frequency of 25 kHz was used as the excitation source, and the propagation characteristics of high-frequency ultrasonic guided waves in the rail were obtained. The results show that the rail pad has a relatively little influence on the dispersion curves of ultrasonic guided waves in the high frequency band, and has a relatively large influence on the dispersion curves of ultrasonic guided waves in the low frequency band below 4 kHz. The rail elastic modulus has significant influence on the phase velocity in the high frequency band, while the group velocity is greatly affected by the rail elastic modulus in the low frequency band.
