Artifacts can seriously degrade the quality of computed tomography (CT) images, sometimes to the point of making them diagnostically unusable. Here, we report an unusual CT artifact that could have resulted in the misdiagnosis of a hyperdense hemorrhagic lesion in a 55-year-old man. The author recommend that when hemorrhagic lesion in posterior fossa is suggested on CT, the physician should carefully consider all patient-related clinical data prior to considering surgical intervention or a biopsy. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help in preventing the misdiagnosis as hemorrhage of CT scan.

A method is proposed to obtain the Jacobian matrix of the 5 -bar parallel manipulator by employing the orthogonality between position and velocity vectors of rotating rigid-body around a fixed point. The dynamics of the 5-bar parallel manipulator is analyzed and utilized to design the computed-torque controller by developing a transformation matrix of the passive joints with respect to the active ones. In experimental demonstration, it shows that high-speed and accuracy tasks are performed by the proposed computed-torque control.

The analysis of vent -emitted Hg concentrations and relevant environmental parameters was made from the inlet of 42 ventpipes in Nan-Ji-Do area of Seoul during September/october of 2000. Using these data, the fluxes of Hg from the ventpipes were also derived. The mean concentration of Hg, computed using the data sets collected from 42 ventpipes, was 420$\pm$619ng m$^{-3}$ with the range of 3.45~2,952ng m$^{-3}$ . Because of large differences in concentration levels between two sectors 1 and 2 and between plain and slope areas. evaluation of the data was made by dividing them into four different categories such as plain areas of sectors 1 and 2 (and/or slope areas of sectors 1 and 2). When this classification was applied, the computed fluxes were highly different among each group with the generally enhanced fluxes in plain area relative to slope area. The computed fluxes were then used to make comparative analysis of different source processes in the study area.

Three-dimensional compressible turbulent flow fields within the passage of a diffusing S-duct have been simulated by solving the Navier-Stokes equations with SIMPLE scheme. The average inlet Mach number is 0.6 and the Reynolds number based on the inlet diameter is $1.76{\times}10^6$ The extended $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model is applied to modeling the Reynolds stresses. Computed results of the flow in a circular diffusing S-duct provide an understanding of the flow structure within a typical engine inlet system. These are compared with experimental wall static-pressure, total-pressure fields, and secondary velocity profiles. Additionally, boundary layer thickness, skin friction values, and streamlines in the symmetric plane are presented. The computed results depict the interaction between the low energy flow by the flow separation and the high energy flow by the reversed duct curvature. The computed results obtained using the extended $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model.

We present the case of a 5-year-old child with coronary complications due to Kawasaki disease; this patient unintentionally underwent both dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) coronary angiography and invasive coronary angiographic examination in 2 months. This case highlights the strong consistency of the results between DSCT coronary angiography and invasive coronary angiography. Compared to conventional invasive coronary angiography, DSCT coronary angiography offered additional advantages such as minimal invasiveness and less radiation exposure.

Three-dimensional computed tomographic angiography [CTA], a representative noninvasive radiologic technique, is being widely used for detecting vascular lesions in specific intracranial bleeding under a certain circumstance [acute nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage]. We encountered a case of extravasation of the contrast medium on CTA images that appeared as ribbon-like high-attenuation lesion from an aneurysm at the distal anterior choroidal artery in a young adult moyamoya patient. As CTA is used more frequently, it is imperative to understand such unusual but, potentially lethal image findings to conduct a prompt intervention.

A 5-year-old intact female Persian cat was referred with anorexia and vomiting. Physical examination revealed icterus in the pinna, oral mucosa, and sclera. Ultrasonography revealed several findings including uniformly hyperechoic hepatic parenchyma compared to adjacent falciform fat, increased attenuation of the ultrasound beam, and poor visualization of intrahepatic vessel borders. Computed tomography revealed hypoattenuation of the hepatic parenchyma with a radiodensity value of -60 Hounsfield units. The adjacent intrahepatic vessels appeared hyperattenuated relative to the hepatic parenchyma as if the vessels were contrast-enhanced. Based on ultrasonography and computed tomography results, the cat was tentatively diagnosed as feline hepatic lipidosis.

Often an INS has to be aligned in navigation. In these cases it is necessary to obtain some reference information on the state of the aligned INS(Slave) such as its position, its velocity of its angular rate. Usually the reference information is velocity which is supplied by another reference INS. In the alignment state the velocity computed by the reference INS(Master) is compared with that computed by the slave INS and the difference which is indicative of the slave misalignment with respect to the master, is processed by a Kalman filter which estimates misalignment as well as the slave gyro and accelerometer error states. The operation of aligning a slave INS with a master INS comparing quantities computed by both INS is known as transfer alignment. The delivery vehicle performs error these maneuvers enable the TA Kalman filter to separate between the tilt errors and the accelerometer biases which otherwise are unobservable. The basic objective this paper is to study the observability enhancement by ship's maneuvering and matching methods during transfer alignment at sea.

One of control methods for underactuated manipulators is known as a switching control which selects a partially-stable controller using a prespecified switching rule. A switching computed torque control with a fuzzy energy region method was proposed. In this approach, some partly stable controllers are designed by the computed torque method, and a switching rule is based on fuzzy energy regions. Design parameters related to boundary curves of fuzzy energy regions are optimized offline by a genetic algorithm (GA). In this paper, we discuss on parameters obtained by GA. The effectiveness of the switching fuzzy energy method is demonstrated with some simulations.

This paper deals with a design of neural network control architectures for robot motion. Three types of control architectures are designed as follows : 1) a neural network control architecture which has the same characteristics as computed torque method 2) a neural network control architecture for compensating the control error on computed torque method with fixed feedback gain 3) neural network adaptive control architecture. Computer simulation of PUMA manipulator with 6 links is conducted for robot motion in order to examine the proposed neural network control architectures.
