In order to compare the accuracy of impression method using addition silicone putty impression material, metal master die was fabricated with 4 cylindrical abutments that were similar in shape to mandibular arch. Among the 4 abutments, two(A, D) with 8mm width and 7mm height were formed in the 2nd molar regions and the other two(B, C) with 6mm width and 7mm height were on the canine regions. Impressions were taken using one-step putty wash impression technique and two-step putty wash impression technique by three different types of impression materials(Perfect, Express, Exaflex). Upon measuring the distance between the abutments on the model by three dimensional measuring machine, the percent of devitaion of the materials were obtained, rendering the following results. The results obtained are as follows : 1. There was no significant difference in accuracy in regard with the impression method between one-step putty wash impression technique and two-step putty wash impression technique using addition silicone putty impression material. 2. There were no difference in accuracy among with three different addition silicone putty impression materials. 3. All the distances between abutments on improved stone models increased in comparison with those on the metal master model.

본 논문에서는 새로운 제어방식과 평면 변압기(planar transformer)를 이용한 자동차용 35W급 메탈헬라이드 램프용 고효율 전자식 안정기의 제어시스템을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 밝기, 연색성, 광효율, 수명 등에서 기존의 할로겐 램프에 비해 우수한 특성을 가지고 있지만 복잡한 과도특성을 가지고 있는 메탈헬라이드 램프를 자동차에 적용하기 위해 마이크로컨트롤러에 의한 디지털 제어방식을 전자식 안정기에 적용하여 램프 요구조건 및 주변 환경에 최적으로 적용할 수 있도록 전자식 안정기를 설계하였다. 또한, 자동차의 밧데리 입력전압에 따라 안정기 컨버터(Flyback Converter)의 스위칭 주파수를 가변하여 안정기의 효율증대를 도모하였고, 컨버터의 고주파 스위칭 변압기를 평면 형태로 설계하여, 기존의 고주파 변압기에 비해 손실, 무게 등의 절감과 전체적인 크기를 축소하여, 밧데리라는 한정된 에너지와 한정된 공간을 갖는 자동차에서 효율적인 전력제어를 실현하였다. 개발된 안정기에 대한 동작특성을 실험을 통해 확인하였다.

Objectives: Foreign bodies (FBs) account for 3.8% of all pathologies of the head and neck region, and approximately one third of them are missed on initial examination. Thus, FBs represent diagnostic challenges to maxillofacial surgeons, rendering it necessary to employ an appropriate imaging modality in suspected cases. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, five different materials, including wood, metal, glass, tooth and stone, were prepared in three sizes (0.5, 1, and 2 mm) and placed in three locations (soft tissue, air-filled space and bone surface) within a sheep's head (one day after death) and scanned by panoramic radiography, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and ultrasonography (US) devices. The images were reviewed, and accuracy of the detection modalities was recorded. The data were analyzed statistically using the Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U-test, Friedman, Wilcoxon signed-rank and kappa tests (P<0.05). Results: CBCT was more accurate in detection of FBs than panoramic radiography and US (P<0.001). Metal was the most visible FB in all of modalities. US was the most accurate technique for detecting wooden materials, and CBCT was the best modality for detecting all other materials, regardless of size or location (P<0.05). The detection accuracy of US was greater in soft tissue, while both CBCT and panoramic radiography had minimal accuracy in detection of FBs in soft tissue. Conclusion: CBCT was the most accurate detection modality for all the sizes, locations and compositions of FBs, except for the wooden materials. Therefore, we recommend CBCT as the gold standard of imaging for detecting FBs in the maxillofacial region.

High purity hydrogen, 97-99 vol.%, with CO at just ppm levels was obtained in a fixed bed of iron oxide employing the steam-iron cycle operation with reduction at 823K and oxidation in a steam-$N_2$ mixture at 773K TGA experiments indicated that temperature of the reduction step as well as its duration are important for preventing carbon build-up in iron and the intrusion of $CO_2$ into the hydrogen product. At a reduction temperature of 823K, oxide reduction by $H_2$ was considerably faster than reduction by CO. If the length of the reduction step exceeds optimal value, low levels of methane gas appeared in the off-gas. Furthermore, with longer durations of the reduction step and CO levels in the reducing gas greater than 10 vol.%, carbidization of the iron and/or carbon deposition in the bed exhibited the increasing pressure drop over the bed, eventually rendering the reactor inoperable. Reduction using a reducing gas containing 10 vol.% CO and a optimal reduction duration gave constant $H_2$ flow rates and off-gas composition over 10 redox reaction cycles.

최근 LED의 저전력, 장수명, 동작 속도, 제어성, 고품질의 색 연출성, 지속 가능성 등의 이유로, LED 응용 분야가 확대되고 있다. 그러나 고출력 LED 조명 시스템을 구현하는데 있어, 방열은 큰 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 고출력 투광등 설계를 위한 방열 방안으로 메탈 PCB 설계, 열전 소자, 히트 파이프, 방열판, 팬(fan) 등의 적층 연동 구조를 제안하고 구현 방안을 제시하였다. 아울러 본 논문에서는 RS-485 통신을 통한 DMX512 프로토콜 기반 LED 조명 시스템 제어 방안을 제시하였다. DMX512 프로토콜은 조명장치와 조명제어 모듈의 연결에 대한 사실상 세계적 표준이며 이를 활용한 무대 조명이나 경관 조명 시스템 개발이 지속적으로 이루지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 이용한 LED 조명 제어 및 응용 기술을 소개하고 주제어기를 무선으로 원격 제어하는 방안을 제안하였다.

Mercury is a toxic and non-essential metal in the human body. Mercury is ubiquitously distributed in the environment, present in natural products, and exists extensively in items encountered in daily life. There are three forms of mercury, i.e., elemental (or metallic) mercury, inorganic mercury compounds, and organic mercury compounds. This review examines the toxicity of elemental mercury and inorganic mercury compounds. Inorganic mercury compounds are water soluble with a bioavailability of 7% to 15% after ingestion; they are also irritants and cause gastrointestinal symptoms. Upon entering the body, inorganic mercury compounds are accumulated mainly in the kidneys and produce kidney damage. In contrast, human exposure to elemental mercury is mainly by inhalation, followed by rapid absorption and distribution in all major organs. Elemental mercury from ingestion is poorly absorbed with a bioavailability of less than 0.01%. The primary target organs of elemental mercury are the brain and kidney. Elemental mercury is lipid soluble and can cross the blood-brain barrier, while inorganic mercury compounds are not lipid soluble, rendering them unable to cross the blood-brain barrier. Elemental mercury may also enter the brain from the nasal cavity through the olfactory pathway. The blood mercury is a useful biomarker after short-term and high-level exposure, whereas the urine mercury is the ideal biomarker for long-term exposure to both elemental and inorganic mercury, and also as a good indicator of body burden. This review discusses the common sources of mercury exposure, skin lightening products containing mercury and mercury release from dental amalgam filling, two issues that happen in daily life, bear significant public health importance, and yet undergo extensive debate on their safety.

Recently, with the expanding market for electronic devices and electric vehicles, secondary battery usage has been on the rise. Lithium-ion batteries are particularly popular due to their fast charging times and lightweight nature compared to other types of batteries. A secondary battery consists of four components: anode, cathode, electrolyte, and separator. Generally, the positive and negative electrode materials of secondary batteries are composed of an active material, a binder, and a conductive material. Acetylene Black (AB) is utilized to enhance conductivity between active material particles or metal dust collectors, preventing the binder from acting as an insulator. However, when recycling waste batteries that have been subject to high usage, there is a risk of fire and explosion accidents, as accurately identifying the characteristics of Acetylene Black dust proves to be challenging. In this study, the lower explosion limit for Acetylene Black dust with an average particle size of 0.042 ㎛ was determined to be 153.64 mg/L using a Hartmann-type dust explosion device. Notably, the dust did not explode at values below 168 mg, rendering the lower explosion limit calculation unfeasible. Analysis of explosion delay times with varying electrode gaps revealed the shortest delay time at 3 mm, with a noticeable increase in delay times for gaps of 4 mm or greater. The findings offer fundamental data for fire and explosion prevention measures in Acetylene Black waste recycling processes via a predictive model for lower explosion limits and ignition delay time.
