This paper describes a sonic polygonal multiple reflection range sensor (SPMRS), which uses multiple reflection properties usually ignored in ultrasonic sensors as disturbances or noises. Targets such as a plane, corner, edge, or cylinder in indoor environments can easily be detected by the multiple reflection patterns obtained with a SPMRS system. Target classification and feature data extraction, such as distance and azimuth to the target, are computed simultaneously by considering the geometrical relationships between the detected targets, and finally the environment model is generated by refining the detected targets. In addition, the narrow field of view of a sonar range sensor is increased and the scanning time is reduced by active motion of the SPMRS stepping servomechanism.

ZnO films were deposited on MgO substrates (ZnO/MgO) by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. Substrate temperature varied from $250^{\circ}C$ to $350^{\circ}C$. The crystallographic properties and surface morphologies of the ZnO/MgO films were studied by X ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The properties of photoluminescence (PL) for the films were investigated by dependence of PL spectra on the substrate temperature and the annealing temperature. The ZnO/MgO films prepared at $350^{\circ}C$ showed the strongest UV emission peak at 18 K and 300 K among the films in this study.

Fullerene oxide[$C_{60}(O)_n$, ($n{\geq}1$)] was synthesized by dissolving fullerene[$C_{60}$] and 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in toluene under refluxing condition for 5 h. Hybrid fullerene oxide-silver nanoparticle composites were synthesized by dissolving fullerene oxide and silver nitrate[$AgNO_3$] in diethylene glycol under ultrasonic irradiation for 3 h. The synthesized hybrid nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and ultraviolet-visible[UV-vis] spectroscopy. The catalytic activity for the reduction of various nitroanilines[NAs] was identified by UV-vis spectrophotometer. The efficiency of the catalytic reduction by the synthesized hybrid nanocomposites has an order of 4-NA > 2-NA > 3-NA.

단결정 사파이어 (0001) 기판 위에 저가의 초산아연(Zinc Acetate Dehydrate; ZAH) 전구체를 이용하여 초음파 열분해법과 Ar 가스를 이용한 ZnO 박막을 성장시켰다. Thermogravimetry-Differential Scanning Calorimetry(TG-DSC) 초산아연의 열분해 과정을 조사하여 $380^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 ZnO로 분해되는 것을 확인하였다. $380-700^{\circ}C$에서 증착된 ZnO 박막은 모두 ZnO (002), (101) 결정면으로 부터의 회절피크를 보여주고 있었으며, $400^{\circ}C$ 박막의 경우 c-압축 스트레인 ${\Sigma}Z=0.2\%$, 압축 응력 $\sigma=-0.907\;GPa$이 작용하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 전자 현미경을 이용한 미세 구조의 관찰을 통하여 $380-600^{\circ}C$에서는 초산아연과 ZnO 초미세 입자가 혼합된 aggregate 형태의 결정립을 형성하고 있었으며, nanoblade 형태의 미세구조를 보였다. 한편 $700^{\circ}C$에서 증착된 박막내의 결정립은 찌그러진 육방정계의 형태를 취하고 있으며, 10-25nm 정도의 부결정림 초미세 ZnO 입자로 이루어져 있음을 알 수 있었다. 초미세 입자의 형성을 임의 핵형성 기구(random nucleation mechanism)로 설명하였고, photoluminescence(PL) 측정을 통하여 광 특성을 조사하였다.

대구경 배관에서 소구경 배관으로 연결하는 부위 및 배관의 방향 전환을 위해 사용하는 소켓용접부는 용입불량 및 사용시간이 경과되면서 내부로부터 진전될 수 있는 균열 등의 결함을 가질 수 있다. 그러나 지금까지 적용하고 있는 비파괴검사법인 액체침투탐상과 방사선투과검사로는 내부에 존재하는 균열성 결함의 검출이 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 소켓용접부 내부의 균열성 결함 검출을 위한 초음파 검사 기법을 확립하였고, 검사를 수행할 수 있는 초음파 탐촉자를 설계 제작하였으며, 자동으로 검사할 수 있는 검사 장비와 제어용 운영 프로그램을 개발하였다. 개발된 장비는 컴퓨터를 기반으로 하고 있으며, pulser/receiver를 내장하고 100 MHz 고속 A/D board를 사용하여 초음파 탐상기 역할을 프로그램으로 구현하였으며, ISA interface type으로 4축 제어용 motion controller를 개발하여 자동 검사를 수행하는 scanner를 제어하도록 하였으며, 검사 결과는 소켓용접부 단면을 실시간 영상으로 나타내도록 되어 있다. 인공결함 시험편의 결함을 평가한 결과 결함의 깊이가 1mm인 결함의 평가 길이는 실제 크기보다 작게 나타내고 있으며, 결함의 깊이가 증가할수록 결함의 길이가 더 크게 평가되었다. 본 연구로 개발한 장비는 원자력 발전소나 화학플랜트에 많이 널려 있는 소켓용접부 내의 용입불량, 피로 균열 등을 검출하여 객관적인 검사 결과를 제시할 수 있으므로 설비 안전 관리 및 보수 부위 결정에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Poisson's ratio, one of elastic constants of elastic solids, has not attracted attention due to its narrow range and difficult measurement. Transverse wave velocity as well as longitudinal wave velocity should be measured for nondestructive measurement of Poisson's ratio. Rigid couplants for transverse wave is one of obstacle for scanning over specimen. In the present work, a novel measurement of Poisson's ratio distribution was applied. Immersion method was employed for the scanning over the specimen. Echo signals of normal beam longitudinal wave were collected, and transverse wave modes generated by mode conversion were identified. From transit time of longitudinal and transverse waves, Poisson's ratio was determined without the information of specimen thickness. Poisson's ratio distribution of the carbon steel weldment was mapped. Heat affected zone of the weldment was clearly distinguished from base and filler metals.

Three-dimensional ultrasound imaging is a new, exciting technology that allows physicians to use ultrasound to view pathology as a volume, thereby enhancing comprehension of patient anatomy. In this paper, a brief history of the 3-D ultrasound imaging is described in accordance with the development of transducer technology. Then, two representative types of 3-D imaging transducers are reviewed with description of the concept and operation principle of each type: mechanical transducer and matrix array transducer. The mechanical transducer is detailed into free-hand scanning and sequential scanning types. Advantages of each transducer over the other and the technical issues for further performance enhancement are also presented.

Acoustic microscopy has attracted much interest recently as potential nondestructive evaluation technique for detecting and sizing defects of surface and sub-surface. Also acoustic emission testing method has been developed for detecting microcracks which is more than 30${\mu}m$ in length quantitatively on ceramics. In the present paper, acoustic emission during the four point bending test in hot-pressed sintered $Si_3N_4$ specimen which was stressed by thermal shock, has been measured by high sensitive sensing system. The surface and sub-surface cracks were detected by scanning acoustic micrscope of 800 MHz and conventional ultrasonic testing in C-scope image. The purpose was to investigate the location and size of cracks by SAM and AE technique, whose experimental data demonstrate good for detecting microcracks.

The angular dispersion-type non-scanning Fabry-Perot was applied to an ethanol-water mixture in order to investigate its acoustic properties such as the sound velocity and the absorption coefficient. The scattered light from the mixture was analyzed by using the charge-coupled-device area detector, which made the measurement time much shorter than that obtained by using the conventional scanning tandem multi-pass Fabry-Perot interferometer. The sound velocity showed a deviation from ultrasonic sound velocities at low temperatures accompanied by the increase in the absorption coefficient, indicating acoustic dispersion due to the coupling between the acoustic waves and some relaxation process. Based on a simplified viscoelastic theory, the temperature dependence of the relaxation time was obtained. The addition of water molecules to ethanol reduced the relaxation time, consistent with dielectric measurements. The present study showed that the angular dispersion-type Fabry-Perot interferometer combined with an area detector could be a very powerful tool in the real-time monitoring of the acoustic properties of condensed matter.

Quality evaluation of agricultural products has been a subject of interest to many researches for many years. As a results, several nondestructive techniques for quality evaluation of agricultural products have been developed. These methods are based on the detection of various physical properties that correlate well with certain quality factors of the products. This paper presents an overview of various quality evaluation techniques that are based on one of the following properties : density, firmness , vibration characteristic , X-ray and gamma ray transmission, optical reflectance and transmission , electrical properties, aromatic volatile emission, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The sophistication of nondestructive methods has evolved rapidly with modern technologies. The use of various modern image acquisition techniques, such as solid state TV camera, line-scan camera, X-ray scanning , ultrasonic scanning and NMR imaging, in conjunction with image-processing te hniques has provided new opportunities for researchers to develop many new and improved techniques for nondestructive quality evaluation of agricultural products.
