A new three-channel surface gradient coil obtained by using numerical optimization and its application to MR computerized nomography are presented. The new surface gradient coil pro aided linear field gradient region more than twice wider compared with the t'irst surface gradi encl coil, removed torque and field offset, and reduced coupling between the surface gradient coil and combined surface rf coil. We realized the new surface gradient coil set with $30{\times}60{cm^2}$2 size, which generated more tharl 4G/cm with 100 amperes over a $4{\times}4{\times}4{cm^3}$ region with good linearity. The optimal geometries of the three-channel surface gradient coil and volun teer's high-resolution in wiuo spinal cord Images obtained by using the optimized surface gradi ent coil set are presented.

Recently, studies on the development of flexible electronic devices by combining flexible materials and a conductor have been actively performed as interest in wearable devices. Especially, carbon nanotubes (CNT) or graphene coating have been used to construct a circuit to induce improvement in flexibility and rigidity. Various technologies have been developed in the surface coating of conductive materials, which are key to the manufacture of flexible electronic devices. Surface coating products with 3D coating and micro-patterns have been proposed through electrospinning, electrification, and 3D printing technologies. As a result of this advanced surface coating technology, there is a growing interest in manufacturing gradient conductive surfaces. Gradient surfaces have the advantage that they are adapted to apply a gentle change or to inspect optimum conditions in a particular region by imparting continuously changing properties. In this study, we propose a manufacturing technique to produce a continuous gradient conductive surface by combining a partial stretching of elastomer and a conductive material coating, and introduce experimental results to confirm its performance.

In order to investigate the characteristics of the gradient fluorinated polyacrylate and polyurethane latex blend films, the fluorinated polyacrylate emulsion and the polyurethane emulsion were synthesized, and then the both emulsions were blended at a series of ratios. The effects of content of the fluorinated polyacrylate on the gradient structure and surface property of the blended films were assessed by AFM, XPS, SEM-EDX and surface free energy measurements. It appeared that, while the content of the fluorinated polyacrylate latex was up to 30%, the fluorinated polyacrylate particles were selectively gathered on the film-air (F-A) and film-glass (F-G) interfaces at room temperature. When the content of the fluorinated polyacrylate was under 30%, the gradient structure of fluorinated component was not evident. The further increasing of fluorinated polyacrylate in the mixed system facilitated the formation and enlargement of gradient structure, but the adhesion of film decreased a little.

A new in vivo high resolution imaging method which is performed with a newly developed three channel surface gradient coil (SGC) is described. The surface gradient coil can produce more than an order of magnitude stronger gradient fields with good linearity within a limited imaging region. To increase the signal to noise ratio (SNR), we have developed an RF coil integrated surface gradient coil set. In this paper, the geometrical structures and characteristics of the proposed surface gradient coil are discussed and experimentally obtained high resolution images ($50\;{\mu}m$ to $100\;{\mu}m$) of a water filled phantom and a human volunteer's knee using the new surface RF coil integrated SGC set are presented for the demonstration of the in vivo high resolution imaging capability of the new imaging method.

In this paper, an asymptotic method is employed to formulate nano- or micro-beams based on strain gradient elasticity. Although a basic theory for the strain gradient elasticity has been well established in literature, a systematic approach is relatively rare because of its complexity and ambiguity of higher-order elasticity coefficients. In order to systematically identify the strain gradient effect, an asymptotic approach is adopted by introducing the small parameter which represents the beam geometric slenderness and/or the internal atomistic characteristic. The approach allows us to systematically split the two-dimensional strain gradient elasticity into the microscopic one-dimensional through-the-thickness analysis and the macroscopic one-dimensional beam analysis. The first-order beam problem turns out to be different from the classical elasticity in terms of the bending stiffness, which comes from the through-the-thickness strain gradient effect. This subsequently affects the second-order transverse shear stress in which the surface shear stress exists. It is demonstrated that a careful derivation of a first strain gradient elasticity embraces "Gurtin-Murdoch traction" as the surface effect of a one-dimensional Euler-Bernoulli-like beam model.

이 논문의 목적은 Target field approach방법을 사용하여 2차원적인 공간선택을 할 수 있는 고차 평면 경사 자계코일(High-Order SGC: High-Order Surface Gradient Coil)을 설계하는 것이다. 지금까지 쓰이던 원통형의 고차경사자제코일을 이용한 2차원적 원형 선택방법은 한 개의 RF Pulse로 2차원적인 공간 선택을 할 수 있는 장점이 있었으나 선택되어지는 체적의 지름이 6 ~ 8cm로 너무 크다는 단점이 있었다. 이 논문에서는 이와 같은 단점을 극복하기 위해 영상을 얻고자하는 부분에 코일을 좀 더 가까이 붙일 수 있어서 적은 전력으로 선택되어지는 체적의 지름을 1 ~ 4cm까지 줄일 수 있는 표면 고차자계코일을 Target field approach방법을 이용하여 설계하였으며 Phantom과 인체영상을 통해 제작된 코일의 성능을 확인해 보았다. 이전의 Field component 방법을 이용하여 설계한 코일에 의해서 선택되어지는 체적은 타원에 가까운 모양이 되었으나, Target field approach 방법을 이용하여 설계한 코일에 의해서 선택되어지는 체적은 이상적인 원에 가까운 모양이 되었다.

This work presents a method of point-to-surface assignment for 3D inspection of solder pastes on PCB. A bounding box enclosing the solder paste tightly on all sides is introduced to avoid incorrect point-to-surface assignment. The shape of bounding box for solder paste brick is variable according to geometry of measured points. The surface geometry of the bounding box is obtained by using five peaks selected from the histogram of normalized gradient vectors for measured points. By using the bounding box enclosing the solder paste. the task of point-to-surface assignment is successfully executed. Subsequently, the geometrical features are obtained via surface fitting.

Average moisture content of 30mm-thick Korean red pine(Pinus densiflora) was estimated nondestructively and continuously using surface temperature rise by radiation heating and moisture gradient profile in wood. The surface temperature rises increased as surface moisture contents decreased and good relationships were found between surface moisture contents and surface temperature rises at three different feed speeds of 10, 20 and 30 m/min. Average moisture content could be described as a function of surface moisture content and wood thickness.

본 논문에서는 EGS(Electromagnetic Gradient Surface) 구조의 반사 특성과 함께 RCS 특성을 입사파의 다양한 입사각과 편파에 따라 분석하였다. EGS에 입사되는 입사파의 입사각 ${\theta}_i$를 $0^{\circ}$에서 $50^{\circ}$까지 $10^{\circ}$ 간격으로 변화시켜가면서 수직 및 수평 편파를 고려하여 반사 특성 및 RCS 감소율을 비교 분석하였다. EGS의 입사각 ${\theta}_i$가 $0^{\circ}$로 입사하는 입사파의 경우엔 편파에 따른 반사 특성 및 RCS 감소율이 크게 차이가 나지 않았음을 확인하였으며, 입사파의 입사각의 크기가 커지게 될수록 편파에 따른 반사 특성의 차이가 더 크게 나타남을 보였다. RCS 특성의 경우, 입사파의 입사각의 크기가 커지게 되어도 EGS의 수직 방향에서의 RCS 감소율은 약 2 dB 차이를 보이며, 입사각과 편파에 따른 RCS 특성은 유지됨을 확인하였다.
