임상적으로 의사가 청진기를 이용해 초기 혈전이 생긴 기계식 판막 음향신호의 변화를 구분하기는 쉽지 않다. 기계식 판막의 이상은 환자의 죽음을 의미하기 때문에 기계식 판막의 신뢰성과 초기 혈전 현상을 비관혈적으로 조기 진단하는 방법은 매우 중요하다. 이 논문은 컴퓨터 보조진단 시스템과 음향신호의 주파수 스펙트럼의 이동을 관찰하여 기계식 판막의 혈전 현상을 비관혈적으로 평가하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 혈전 모델은 상용화된 기계식 판막에 폴리우레세인과 실리콘을 이용하여 제작하였다. 판막의 표면에는 폴리우레세인을 코팅하고, 봉합링에는 실리콘을 코팅하였다. 봉합링의 주위에서 혈전이 발생하고, 20％, 40％, 60％로 자라나는 현상은 실리콘을 이용하여 제작하였다. 실험 시스템에서 판막의 음향 신호는 마이크로폰과 증폭기를 사용하여 측정하였고, 마이크로폰에는 주위잡음을 제거하기 위해 커플러를 장착하였다. 측정된 음향신호는 A/D 컨버터를 이용하여 샘플링하고, 스펙트럼을 분석하였다. 정상적인 판막과 혈전이 형성된 판막의 주파수 구분을 위해 인공신경망을 구성하였고, 연속적으로 판막의 운동 주기성을 확인하기 위하여 return map을 사용하였다. 생체 내 실험에서는 기계식 판막을 사용하는 순환장치를 장착한 동물과 기계식 판막을 치환 받은 지 1년 이내와 1년이 넘은 환자에게서 데이터를 채집하였다. 실험에서 얻은 데이터 스펙트럼은 두 가지 형태의 첨두치를 보였고, 이중에서 두 번째 첨두치는 혈전의 모델에 따라 변화를 보였다. 생체 내, 외 실험에서 얻은 데이터를 인공신경망에 적용한 결과 정상 판막과 혈전이 생성된 판막을 구분하였고, 환자를 대상으로 한 실험에서는 10명 중 1명이 두 번째 첨두치가 이동하는 결과를 보였지만 다른 방법으로 확인하지는 못했다. 본 논문의 결과는 기계식 판막의 혈전현상을 비침습적으로 조기 진단하고, 상태를 지속적으로 감시할 수 있는 기술적 토대를 제공할 것이다.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and safety of low-contrast-dose, dual-source dual-energy CT before transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with compromised renal function. Materials and Methods: A total of 54 consecutive patients (female:male, 26:38; 81.9 ± 7.3 years) with reduced renal function underwent pre-TAVR dual-energy CT with a 30-mL contrast agent between June 2022 and March 2023. Monochromatic (40- and 50-keV) and conventional (120-kVp) images were reconstructed and analyzed. The subjective quality score, vascular attenuation, contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) were compared among the imaging techniques using the Friedman test and post-hoc analysis. Interobserver reliability for aortic annular measurement was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman analysis. The procedural outcomes and incidence of post-contrast acute kidney injury (AKI) were assessed. Results: Monochromatic images achieved diagnostic quality in all patients. The 50-keV images achieved superior vascular attenuation and CNR (P < 0.001 in all) while maintaining a similar SNR compared to conventional CT. For aortic annular measurement, the 50-keV images showed higher interobserver reliability compared to conventional CT: ICC, 0.98 vs. 0.90 for area and 0.97 vs. 0.95 for perimeter; 95% limits of agreement width, 0.63 cm² vs. 0.92 cm² for area and 5.78 mm vs. 8.50 mm for perimeter. The size of the implanted device matched CT-measured values in all patients, achieving a procedural success rate of 92.6%. No patient experienced a serum creatinine increase of ≥ 1.5 times baseline in the 48-72 hours following CT. However, one patient had a procedural delay due to gradual renal function deterioration. Conclusion: Low-contrast-dose imaging with 50-keV reconstruction enables precise pre-TAVR evaluation with improved image quality and minimal risk of post-contrast AKI. This approach may be an effective and safe option for pre-TAVR evaluation in patients with compromised renal function.

The vibration of a ship gives a significant effect on the noise radiated into the water. This paper focused on the vibration of ship hull due to the sub-generator located on the deck in the anchored condition. The contributions of the transfer paths between sub-generator and ship hull were analyzed using the TPA and the OTPA method. While the sub-generator was operation and the main engine was turned off, the vibrations were measured simultaneously at the 38 locations of the ship and the one hydrophone was arranged to measure the underwater radiated noise at the overside ship. The results of the transfer path by applying TPA and OTPA were compared and discussed. As a result of these methods, the top of stovepipe and valve are contributive. Reinforcing these structures is the most effective to reduce the vibration of ship hull.

The noise and vibration sources of rotary compressor for room air-conditioner are pressure pulsation of compression process, cavity resonance of inner space, structural radiation noise of shell and impact noise of discharge valve. Among them, pressure pulsation is very important noise and vibration source. Because it transferred various kinds of noise and vibration like as mentioned above. In this reason, muffler and resonator are used in order to absorb and remove these noises. But an analytical prediction using acoustic analysis does not coincident with the experimental result. The difference between analysis and actual state is due to the assumption of analysis. This paper covered with new concept of muffler design based on the turbulence kinetic energy of flow by using CFD. From this analysis, it is possible to decide the best position of discharge port of muffler. Therefore $2{\sim}3dB$ noise reduction effect is acquired in rotary compressor of 5000 BTU grade. Also new approach of resonator design is suggested. From this study, the characteristics of resonator and surge hole (a kind of resonator without pipe length) are identified. The former is useful for pure tone noise (narrow frequency band), and the latter is effective for broad frequency band. This paper shows that it is very available to use 3 dimensional analysis of resonator in order to predict more exact tuning frequency. The result is proved by a lot of experiments. From combination of fluid analysis and acoustic analysis, up stream position is effective location of resonator concerning turbulence motion of fluid.

Unsteady flow problems created by hydraulic transients in pipeline systems with pump are of significant importance because they can cause excessive pressure, cavitation, vibration and noise. In this paper, an analysis of transient flow for the pump pipelines is developed by means of the characteristic method. The calculated results of the program to simulate water hammer due to sudden valve closure in a simple pipeline are compared with those of the analytical method. Expecially the water hammer due to power failure in pump pipeline system with surge tank was simulated. As the results, both the upsurge and the downsurge along the pipeline are reduced.

This paper is concerned with extracting the diagnostic signature for motor-operated valves (MOV's) noninvasively. A torque estimator is developed and tested to obtain electical torque of the induction motors which are attached to the MOV's. Inverse filter is used to recover the gear meshing forces from the measured actuator housing vibration, which contain the gear rotation information. Frequency demodulation techniques are performed and an adaptive linear bandpass filter is implemented to improve signal-to-noise ratio. Finally, stand-alone valve experiments are carried out to validate the signature extraction scheme.

A disturbance flow at piping bands and discontinuous regions such as a valve, a header has a intense broadband internal pressure field and a sound field which are propagated through the piping system The fields becomes the source of a vibration of this piping system. Intense broadband disturbance flow at a discontinuous region such as elbows, valves or headers generates an acoustical pulsation. The pulsation becomes the source of structural vibration at the piping system. If it coincides with the natural frequency of the pipe system, excessive vibration results. High-level vibration due to the pressure pulsation affects the reliability of the plant piping system. This paper discusses the high vibration and the branch vent pipe's failure of condensate-water supply piping system due to the effect of acoustical pulsations by flow turbulence from the flow control valves of globe type in a power site.

Vibration and noise problem in a hydraulic system became one of very important factors in evaluating the performance of a hydraulic system. It is known that vibration and noise in a hydraulic system is directly related to flow pulsation in the hydraulic pump in the system. This study investigated a modeling and simulation technique for pulsating flow in a swash plate type axial piston pump. The key design factors of the pump related to flow pulsation phenomenon of the pump are the physical parameters for notches on the valve plate of the pump. By the numerical analysis, effects of the physical parameters of the notch on the flow pulsation was elucidated.
