In this study, we described the design of a three-axis force/torque sensor for measuring the force and torque in a lower-limb rehabilitation robot. The three-axis force/torque sensor is composed of Fx force sensor, Fz force sensor and Tz torque sensor. The sensing element for Fx force sensor and Tz torque sensor is used in a two-step parallel plate beam, and that of Fz force sensor is used in a parallel plate beam. The rated loads of Fx force sensor, Tz torque sensor and Fz force sensor are 300 N, 15 N m and 100 N, respectively. The three-axis force/torque sensor was designed using the finite element method, and manufactured using strain-gauges. The three-axis force sensor was further characterized. As a result, the interference error of the three-axis force/torque sensor was < 1.24%, the repeatability error of each sensor was < 0.03%, and the non-linearity was < 0.02%.

This paper describes strain distribution analysis of a multiple parallel plate structure for a multi-componenet force and moment sensor. A parallel plate structure which has higher rigidity than a simple beam structure are widely used for multi-component force and moment sensor. The strain distribution in the beams of a parallel plate structure should be accurately calculated to design a high precision multi-component force and moment sensor. We derived equations to calculate the strains for multiple parallel plate structure. It reveals that results from finite element analysis and experiment are in good agreement with results from the derived equations.

There has been much effort to find suitable methods for structural analysis in the mid-frequency region where traditional low frequency methods have increasing uncertainties whilst statistical energy analysis is not strictly applicable. Systems consisting of relatively stiff beams coupled to flexible plates have a particularly broad mid-frequency region where the beams support only a few modes whilst the plate has a high modal density and modal overlap. A system of two parallel beams coupled to a plate is investigated based on the wave method, which is an approximate method. Muller's method is utilised for obtaining complex roots of a dispersion wave equation, which does not converge in the conventional wave method based on a simple iteration. The wave model is extended from a single-beam-plate system, to a plate with two identical beams which is modelled using a symmetric-antisymmetric technique. The important hypothesis that the coupled beam wavenumber is sufficiently smaller than the plate free wavenumber is experimentally verified. Finally, experimental results such as powers and energy ratios show the validity of the analytical wave models.

본 연구는 제작된 평행평판형 검출기에서 두 전극간의 거리에 따른 극성효과의 정도를 확인하기 위하여 실행되었다. 개발된 전리함의 극성효과를 측정하기 위하여 평행평판형 전리함의 윗면과 아래 면의 전극에 극성을 바꾸어가며 방사선을 조사하고 그에 의하여 생성된 전하를 측정하여 두 양을 비교하였다. 실험은 두 전극간의 거리가 3, 6, 10 mm 일 때 각각의 명목상 체적이 0.9, 1.9, 3.1 cc인 평행평판형 전리함에 대하여 실행하였다. 조사된 방사선은 6, 10 MV 광자선과 4, 6, 9, 12, 16 MeV의 전자선이며, SSD는 100 cm 이었고, 조사면 크기는 광자선의 경우는 10$\times$10 ㎤ 이고 전자선의 경우는 10$\times$10 $\textrm{cm}^2$을 사용하였으며, 측정점은 최대선량점이고, 선량률은 240 MU/min 으로 하였다. 평행평판형 전리함의 극성의 변환은 평행평판형 전리함의 윗면 즉, 방사선이 입사되는 면의 전극이 (+)극을 갖고 아래 면이 (-)극을 갖는 positive와 방사선이 입사되는 면의 전극이 (-)극을 갖고 아래 면이 (+)극을 갖게 되는 negative 측정으로 시행하였다. 실험결과는 광자선의 경우는 0.5 % 이내의 극성효과를 나타냈고, 전자선의 경우는 1% 에서 3.5% 까지 나타났으며, 높은 에너지를 갖는 16 MeV 전자선의 경우가 다른 에너지의 전자선의 경우 보다 극성효과의 영향이 적음을 알 수 있다.

To obtain 7 MeV electron beam which is suitable for treatment of the chest wall after radical of modified radical mastectomy, the authors reduced the energy of electron beam by means by Lucite plate inserted in the beam. To determine the proper thickness of the Lucite plate necessary to reduce the energy of 9 MeV electron beam to 6 MeV, dosimetry was made by using a parallel plate ionization chamber in polystyrene phantom. Separation between two adjacent fields, 7 MeV for chest wall and 12 MeV for internal mammary region, was studied by means of film dosimetry in both polytyrene phantom and Humanoid phantom. The results were as follows. 1. The average energy of 9 MeV electron beam transmitted through the Lucite plate was reduced. Reduction was proportional to the thickness of the Lucite plate in the rate of 1.7 MeV/cm. 2. The proper thickness of the Lucite plate necessary to obtain 6 MeV electron beam from 9 MeV was 1.2 cm. 3. 7 MeV electron beam, 80% dose at 2cm depth, is adequate for treatment of the chest wall. 4. Proper separation between two adjacent electron fields, 7 MeV and 12 MeV, was 5mm on both flat surface and sloping surface to produce uniform dose distribution.

A multilayer gaseous detector has been developed for fast dose-verification measurements of raster-scan-mode therapeutic beams in particle therapy. The detector, which was constructed with eight thin parallel-plate ionization chambers (PPICs) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) absorber plates, is closely tissue-equivalent in a beam's eye view. The gas-electron signals, collected on the strips and pad arrays of each PPIC, were amplified and processed with a continuous charge.integration mode. The detector was tested with 190-MeV raster-scan-mode beams that were provided by the Proton Therapy Facility at Samsung Medical Center, Seoul, South Korea. The detector responses of the PPICs for a 190-MeV raster-scan-mode proton beam agreed well with the dose data, measured using a 2D ionization chamber array (Octavius model, PTW). Furthermore, in this study it was confirmed that the detector simultaneously tracked the doses induced at the PPICs by the fast-oscillating beam, with a scanning speed of 2 m s-1. Thus, it is anticipated that the present detector, composed of thin PPICs and operating in charge.integration mode, will allow medical scientists to perform reliable fast dose-verification measurements for typical dynamic mode therapeutic beams.

In the mammography, X-ray beam quality is one of the most important factors. Using X-ray mammography unit model GE/CGR Senography 600T Senix H.F, Authors studied four subjects. 1. The aluminum attenuation rate in 30 kVp when used with or without compression plate. 2. HVLs at 5 different area of the X-ray field of $26{\sim}32kVp$. 3. HVLs to know the influence of corrected measurement or parallel measurement. 4. Film density with microdensitometer along and cross to the long axis of X-ray tube, in terms of the Heel effect in the X-ray field. The following results were obtained. 1. Beam quality of anode area was harder than cathode area. 2. The dose reduction rate of compression plate was approximately $65.5%{\sim}88.1%$ and the beam quality with compression plate was hardened up to 4kVp accordingly. 3. If the X-ray beam enters the attenuation plate obliquely, HVL was $2.6{\sim}2.9%$ harder than perpendicular to it. 4. Because of heel effect, the film density of cathode area is higher than anode area to film density of 0.5.

목적: 부채살 단일광자단층촬영(SPECT)은 공간분해능과 민감도를 개선하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 보다 정확한 영상을 얻고 인체에 대한 SPECT의 영상화 과정을 정확하게 묘사하기 위하여 평행 데이터로 재배열하는 과정 없이 직접 부채살 데이터를 이용하여 재구성하는 알고리즘이 필요하다. 본 연구는 다양한 부채살 재구성 알고리즘을 구현하였고 각 방법의 성능을 비교하였다. 대상 및 방법: 선추적법을 적용하여 부채살 투사기와 이로부터 얻은 데이터를 직접 재구성할 수 있는 FBP, EM, OS-EM과 MAP-EM OSL 알고리즘을 구현하였다. OSL 알고리즘의 경우에는 membrane과 thin plate prior를 사용하였다. 직접 부채살 데이터를 재구성하는 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 양방향 최근접 이웃, 양방향 1차와 양방향 3차 보간법을 사용하여 재배열된 평행 데이터를 얻었고 이 데이터를 기존의 평행 데이터에 대한 EM 알고리즘을 사용하여 재구성하였다. Hoffman 두뇌와 Shepp/Logan 팬텀으로부터 얻은 잡음 없는 데이터와 잡음 있는 데이터는 각 방법으로 재구성하였으며 퍼센트 오차를 계산하여 각 재구성된 영상을 비교하였다. 결과: Thin-plate 사전 분포함수를 사용한 OSL 방법이 가장 낮은 오차를 가지며 잡음으로 인한 결과 영상의 불안정성을 효과적으로 제어함을 확인할 수 있었다. 부채살 데이터를 평행 데이터로 재배열시 양방향 1차 보간법이 정확성과 계산 시간 측면에서 가장 효율적인 방법임을 확인하였다. 재배열된 평행 데이터의 EM결과에 비해 직접 부채살 데이터를 재구성하여 얻은 결과영상이 더 정확하게 재구성되었다. 결론: 본 연구에서는 평행 데이터로 재배열한 경우에 비하여 보다 정확한 영상을 재구성하는 직접 부채살 재구성 알고리즘을 구현하였으며 이는 정량적으로 월등히 개선된 결과를 제공함을 확인하였다.
