A slit-flow apparatus with laser diffraction method has been developed with significant advances in ektacytometry design, operation and data analysis. In the slit-flow ektacytometry (or laser-diffractometry), the deformation of red blood cells subjected to continuously decreasing shear stress in slit flow is measured. A laser beam traverses a diluted blood suspension flowing through a slit and is diffracted by RBCs in the volume. The diffraction patterns are captured by a CCD-video camera, linked to a frame grabber integrated with a computer, while the differential pressure variation is measured by a pressure transducer. Both measurements of laser-diffraction image and pressure with respect to time enable to determine deformation index and the shear stress. The range of shear stress of 0 ${\sim}$ 35 Pa and measuring time is less than 2 min. When deforming under decreasing shear stress, RBCs change gradually from the prolate ellipsoid towards a circular biconcave morphology. The Deformation Index (DI) as a measure of RBC deformability is determined from an isointensity curve in the diffraction pattern using an ellipse-fitting program. The advantages of this design are simplicity, i.e., ease of operation and no moving parts, low cost, short operating time, and the disposable kit which is contacted with blood sample.

본 논문은 원격제어(teleoperation)시스템에서 카메라로부터의 실시간 영상정보를 이용하여 조작대상이 되는 물체의 물리기반모델(physically-based model)을 만들고 이를 기반으로한 햅틱 렌더링 알고리즘의 개발에 관한 것이다. CCD 카메라를 통한 영상정보와 물성치(mechanical properties)를 이용하여 변형체(deformable object)의 물리적 기반 모델이 구현되고 햅틱장치로 조종되는 평면 로봇(planar robot)을 제어하여 변형체에 변형을 가하면 구현된 물리적 모델에 의해 햅틱 피드백을 위한 반력값이 계산된다. 스네이크 알고리즘을 이 용하여 영상정보로부터 변형체의 외형정보(geometry information)를 추출하며, 변형체의 경계(boundary)에서의 반력값을 계산하기 위해 경계요소법(boundary element method)을 사용한다. 제안된 햅틱 렌더링 알고리즘을 이용하여 원격조작간에 힘센서를 사용하지 않고 사용자에게 햅틱 피드백을 제공할 수 있다.

In this paper, we implemented a polarimetric vibration sensor using a Sagnac birefringence interferometer composed of polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber(PM-PCF). By changing the amplitude and frequency of vibration applied to PM-PCF employed as the sensor head of the proposed sensor, sensor responses to various types of vibration were investigated. First, the vibration characteristic of the sensor was explored for a single frequency in a frequency range from 1 to 3000Hz with a cylindrical piezoelectric transducer, and then the sensor response to naturally damped vibration was examined by utilizing a metal cantilever. It was experimentally observed that the sensor output signal was deteriorated by more than 3dB at ~1900Hz in the single frequency vibration measurement with a minimum detectable strain perturbation of ${\sim}1.34n{\varepsilon}/Hz^{1/2}$ at 1500Hz and the peak value of the sensor output signal was proportional to the strength of initially applied stress in the naturally damped vibration measurement.

The amplitude of a back-wall echo depends on the reflection coefficient of the interface between a transducer and a test material when using contact pulse-echo ultrasonic testing. A couplant is used to transmit ultrasonic energy across the interface, but has an influence on the amplitude of the pulse-echo signal. To investigate the couplant effect on pulse-echo ultrasonic testing, back-wall echoes are measured by using various couplants made of water and glycerine in a carbon and austenitic stainless steel specimens. The amplitude of the first back-wall echo and the apparent attenuation coefficient increases with the acoustic impedance of the couplant. The couplant having a higher value of the transmission coefficient is more effective for flaw detection. The reflection coefficient should be known in order to measure the attenuation coefficient of the test material.

In recent years, the driving performance and exhaust sound quality in automobiles have been recognized as important factors, as they maximize the driving fun to fulfil the demands of customers. Therefore, many automobile manufacturers are studying various exhaust pipe shapes to improve sound quality and optimize exhaust pressure. The objective of the exhaust pipe design is to maximize the engine efficiency using optimal exhaust pressure settings. In this study, an exhaust system was fabricated with different junction shapes, and the results were analyzed through various experiments. The exhaust gas pressure acting inside the exhaust pipe was measured using a pressure transducer. Meanwhile, the vibration generated in the vehicle was measured in three axial directions and analyzed. The ground noise generated in the indoor and outdoor of the vehicle was measured, and the noise generated at the maximum output was measured and analyzed.

The flow signal or spool position signal is used to determine the dynamic characteristics of directional control valves. Alternatively, the signal of spool position or flow can be replaced with the velocity of a low friction, low inertia actuator. In this study, the frequency response of the servo valve equipped with a spool position transducer is measured with a metering cylinder. The input signal, spool displacement, load pressure, and velocity of the metering cylinder are measured, and the theoretical results from the transfer function analysis are verified. The superposition rule for magnitude ratio and phase angle was found to be always applicable among any signal type, and it was found that the load pressure signal is not appropriate for use as the signal for measuring the frequency response of a servo valve. It was confirmed that the frequency response of a servo valve using metering cylinder was similar to the results from a spool displacement signal. The metering cylinder used for measuring the frequency response of a servo valve should be designed to have sufficiently greater bandwidth frequency than the bandwidth frequency of the servo valve.

Natural killer (NK) cells play a crucial role in combating infections and tumors. However, their therapeutic application in solid tumors is hindered by challenges, such as limited lifespan, tumor penetration, and delivery precision. Our research introduces a novel ultrasonic actuation technique to navigate NK cells more effectively in the vascular system, particularly at vessel bifurcations where targeted delivery is most problematic. We use a hemispherical ultrasonic transducer array that generates phase-modulated traveling waves, focusing on an ultrasound beam to steer NK cells using blood-flow dynamics and a focused acoustic field. This method enables the precise obstruction of non-target vessels and efficiently directs NK cells toward the tumor site. The simulation results offer insights into the behavior of NK cells under various conditions of cell size, radiation pressure, and fluid velocity, which inform the optimization of their trajectories and increase targeting efficiency. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of this ultrasonic approach for enhancing NK cell targeting, suggesting a potential leap forward in solid tumor immunotherapy. This study represents a significant step in NK cell therapeutic strategies, offering a viable solution to the existing limitations and promising enhancement of the efficacy of cancer treatments.

33-모드 링은 31-모드 링에 비하여 결합상수와 압전상수 d가 높기 때문에 광대역 수중 음향 트랜스듀서로 활용성이 높다. 반면 31-모드 링은 축대칭 구조이므로 수치해석 수행시 2차원 축대칭 모델로 간략히 해석이 가능하지만, 33-모드 링은 3차원 수치해석을 수행해야 한다. 즉, 특성 예측을 위해 많은 전산자원과 계산시간이 소요된다. 따라서 33-모드 링의 전기-기계-음향 응답을 모사할 수 있는 등가의 31-모드 링의 유효 물성을 도출할 수 있다면 소나 트랜스듀서 설계 등에 실용적일 것이다. 본 연구에서는 응답 특성을 모사하기 위해 각 링의 전기, 기계 임피던스 및 변환계수(${\phi}$)가 동일하다고 가정하여 등가 31-모드 링의 유효 밀도(${\rho}_{31_{-}eff}$), 컴플라이언스($s^E_{11_{-}eff}$), 압전 상수($d_{31_{-}eff}$), 유전 상수(${\varepsilon}^T_{33_{-}eff}$)를 유도했다. 도출한 유효 물성을 이용하여 진공상태의 링, 수중에서 공기 배킹의 링, 그리고 수중에서 링 내부에 자유롭게 유체가 드나드는 링에 대하여 수치해석을 하였고 이를 33-모드 링의 응답특성과 비교하였다.
