  • 본 논문에서는 핵자기공명영상의 고해상도를 이루고, 영상의 신뢰성을 높이기 위해서 선형성이 증가된 경사자기장 코일의 설계와 제작에 목적을 두었다. Maxwell pair를 이용하여 Z-경사자계의 선형성을 증강시키기 위해 코일의 기하학적인 형태의 이론적인 계산과 몇 가지 형태의 코일로부터 예상되는 자기장 및 경사자기장의 분포를 구현했다. 즉, 코일 축 방향의 자기장을 구면좌표계에서 전개하는 방법으로 Maxwell pair의 크기와 위치를 계산하고, 유한요소법을 이용하여 자기장 및 경사자기장의 2차원 분포를 그렸다. 더불어 이론적인 계산 결과와 함께 자기장의 2차원 분포를 토대로 실제 경사자기장 코일을 제작하였고 이를 0.15 Τ 핵자기공명영상기에 적용하여, 영상을 획득하였다. 기존의 방법에 따른 Maxwell pair 형태를 이용한 경우에 코일지름의 40% DSV(diameter spherical volume)내에서 DSV의 5% 이내의 뒤틀림(distortion)을 갖는 선형성이 유지되었고, 새롭게 시도된 방법에 의한 경사자기장 코일의 경우는 코일지름의 70% DSV 내에서 DSV의 5% 이내의 뒤틀림을 갖는 선형성을 유지하였으며, 설계 제작된 경사자기장 코일과 RF-코일을 이용하여 이를 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제작된 경사자기장 코일의 선형성은 Maxwell pair 코일보다 향상된 결과를 보았으며, 본 논문에서 제시하는 방법은 자기공명영상의 해상도 향상에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

  • A simple quantitative method to measure the degree of silanization was developed, based on the reaction of ninhydrin with the silanization reagent (3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, 3-APTES). At low concentrations (0.001-0.005%, v/v) of 3-APTES, a good linearity was obtained when 3-APTES reacted with undiluted ninhydrin for 30 min. On the other hand, at high levels of 3-APTES, a linearity was obtained when 3-APTES reacted with 3-fold diluted ninhydrin for 20 min. The reliability of regression curves mentioned above was expressed as a regression coefficient ($R^2$) of more than 0.99. Immobilization of different enzymes was introduced via silanization by using the 3-APTES in order to confirm the validity of the ninhydrin method. When yield for each step in the immobilizatio process were compared, yields of both glutaraldehyde and protein were founc to have the same tendency to silanization. These results shw that the ninhydrin method was suitable for quatitative analysis of silanization and that yields of immobilization could be pre-estimated by measuring silanization levels using the ninhydrin method.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the body type of children's, especially torso, and to provide the fundamental data for children's clothing construction which can reflect the characteristics of their bodies. The subjects for photographic measurements are 308 elementary school children aged from 6 to 8 living in Seoul and urban area. Anthropometric measurements were performed indirectly from the pictures of subjects. The data were analyzed statistically using SPSSWIN. The results obtained from this study are as follows: 1. Through one-way ANOVA, items for heights, breaths, weight reveals the significant differences according to ages and genders. 2. Through Pearson correlation, it turns out that there are high correlation between any items of heights, but there is no correlation for item of shoulder inclination with any other items. 3. Through factor analysis of principal component model, six factors were extracted which covers 83.6% of the whole information. The first factor represents the items of heights which relates with linearity. The second factor describes the items of breaths, depths, and weight in relation with laterality. The third factor were gathered with depths of front and back in relation with posture of side, which proves as important one to characterize the children's torso. The other factors represents the items of posture of neck, depths in neck, shoulder inclination, respectively. 4. Through one-way ANOVA in factor by group, and Scheffe multi comparison test for each group, the factor 1 that is related with linearity reveals the significant differences according to ages and genders.

  • This paper presents multibit Sigma-Delta ADC using noise-shaped dynamic element matching(DEM). 5-bit flash ADC for multibit quantization in Sigma Delta modulator offers the following advantages such as lower quantization noise, more accurate white-noise level and more stability over single quantization. For the feedback paths consisting of DAC, the DAC element should have a high matching requirement in order to maintain the linearity performance which can be obtained by the modulator with a multibit quantizer. The DEM algorithm is implemented in such a way as to minimize additional delay within the feedback loop of the modulator Using this algorithm, distortion spectra from DAC linearity errors are shaped. Sigma Delta ADC achieves 82dB signal to noise ratio over 615H7z bandwidth, and 62mW power dissipation at a sampling frequency of 19.6MHz. This Sigma Delta ADC is designed to use 0.25um CMOS technology with 2.5V supply voltage and verified by HSPICE simulation.

  • A load cell is a converter that generates voltage signals when a certain force is effected in a given direction. An essential measurement device for electronic scales that indicate weight by numbers. These load cells are being applied in various areas such as daily life, distribution, laboratory and industrial. Recently the study to manufacture load cells in a more simple method while increasing performance is being persisted. In this study based on the comparison of load cells manufactured through single surface processing using strain gauges. Those manufactured through dual surface processing using strain gauges. Ultimately persist a more simple method of load cell manufacturing while increasing its performance. The elements that were compared were linearity, hysteresis, creep and eccentricity which are short tenn performance factors. The conclusion was that single surface processing showed almost identical data as that of dual surface processing, and the load cell error rate(0.005%) also excess regulation. The manufacturing time was shortened while mass-production was possible. Which indicates a development in the weighing industry.

  • An antibacterial benzoquinone, 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone, isolated from Ficus foveolata stems was used as a standard marker for establishment of quantitative HPLC analysis for the stem extracts of F. foveolata. The method utilized a TSK-gel ODS-80Ts column (5 μm, 4.6 × 250 mm) with the mixture of methanol and 5% acetic acid in water (24:76, v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL/min, and quantitative detection at 289 nm. The parameters i.e. linearity, intraday and interday precision, accuracy, specificity and sensitivity of the method were evaluated for method validation. The recoveries of the method were 99.5 - 103.6% and good linearity (R2 ≥ 0.9999) was obtained. A high degree of specificity, sensitivity as well as repeatability and reproducibility (RSD less than 2 and 5%, respectively) were also achieved. Chloroform was served as the most suitable solvent for extraction of 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone. The optimised sample preparation and HPLC method can be practically used in the routine quality control process of F. foveolata stem extracts.

  • Solid phase microextraction (SPME) was used for the determination of 6 standard solvents (methanol, isopropanol, methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl acetate, cyclohexane, toluene) in food packaging materials. SPME method is a solvent-free sample preparation technique in which a fused silica fiber coated with polymeric organic liquid is introduced into the headspace above the sample. SPME method using fiber coated polydimethylisiloxane (PDMS) was compared with static headspace (SHS) method used as a reference. It was found that the optimal adsorption condition using PDMS-SPME method was 2$0^{\circ}C$ for 15 minutes for the standard solvents. Detection limits, linearity, reproducibility and recovery of both SHS and PDMS-SPME methods have been determined using 6 standard solvents. Both methods were characterized by high reproducibility and good linearity. Using SHS methods, the mean recovery of the 6 standard solvents was ranged from 75.5% to 105.8% with a mean relative standard deviation (RSD) of 0.3% to 4.8%. With PDMS-SPME method, the mean recovery of the 6 standard solvents was ranged from 86.7% to 108.3% with a mean RSD of 0.4% to 2.5%. The detection limits of both methods were the same for toluene, cyclohexane and methyl ethyl ketone; those of PDMS-SPME method were higher than those of SHS method for methanol, isopropanol and ethyl acetate. PDMS-SPME fiber shoed excellent adsorption for non-polar solvents such as toluene, while it showed relatively low adsorption for polar solvents such as methanol.

  • Strain gauge type load cell is used widely as weight sensor. However, it has problems such as noise, power consumption, high cost and big size. Semiconductor type piezoresistive pressure sensor is practically used in recent for low hysteresis, good linearity, small size, light weight and strong on vibration. In this paper, we have fabricated the piezoresistive pressure sensor and packaged the miniature weight sensor. We packaged the miniature weight sensor by flip-chip bonding between die and PCB for durability, because the weight sensor is directly contacted on a physical solid distinct from air and oil pressure. We measured the characteristics of the weight sensor, which had the output of $10{\sim}80$ mV on the weight range of $0{\sim}2$ kg. In the result, we could fabricate the weight sensor with an accuracy of 3 %FSO linearity.

  • A moving-coil-type linear motor, designed and fabricated, is consisted of the NdFeB permanent magnets with high specific energy as the stator, a coil-wrapped nonmagnetic hollow rectangular structure and an iron core as a pathway for magnetic flux. The interaction between permanent magmet and armature fie1d, so called "push/pull effect", is to shift the airgap flux density variation due to the magnet alone by a certain amount. Thrust therefore is shift downward or upward. The push/pull effect was presented through the FEM analysis and the static tests. We compared the thrust obtained through the FEM analysis with the static tests. Finally, we present the linearity and correction coefficients of the thrust in consideration of the push/pull effects.l effects.
