In the three-parameter ellipsometry (TPE), also known as reflectance-ellipsometry, the ellipsometric measurements, ${\Psi} and {\Delta}$, are combined with the reflectometric measurement, R, to determine the optical parameters and the thickness of a light-absorbing thin film. The constant ${\Psi}, {\Delta}$ and R surfaces are analyzed graphically to understand the nature of the TPE solutions. A sensitivityanalysis is shown to be useful not only for identifying the film properties which affect most the TPE measurements, but also for estimating errors in film properties arising from the uncertainties in measurements.

최근 수년간 polarimetry, Raman spectroscopy, near infrared (NIR) absorption spectroscopy, NIR scattering, optoacoustics 등의 방법을 통하여 비침습적으로 Glucose의 농도를 측정하려는 연구가 많이 시도되었다. 일반적으로 이들 방법은 sensitivity 와 signal-to-noise ratio가 매우 낮고 복잡한 알고리즘이 요구되어져 glucose 농도 측정에 한계가 있음이 드러났다. 본 연구에서는 polarization sensitive low coherence interferometer (PS-LCI) 기법을 이용하여 농도에 따른 stokes parameters를 측정함으로써 비침습적으로 glucose를 측정하는 것이 가능한지 알아보는데 그 목적이 있다.

The local cyclic strain distribution near the crack tip has been investigated by the fine Dot Grid Strain Measurement Method, which had been suggested strain measurement method to resolve experimental difficulties by authors. It has been found that the magnitude of the local cyclic strain distribution(.DELTA..epsilon.$_{eq}$ )near a crack tip has been varied by the applied cyclic load level and material, but the shape of the local cyclic strain distribution near the crack tip has been experimentally scrarcely altered : that is .DELTA..epsilon.$_{eq}$ = .DELTA.A.f(.theta.). $r^{-1}$ . Consequently, the local cyclic strain field near the crack tip could be favorably characterized by a single parameter fatigue strain intensity factor .DELTA.A. In addition, with the viewpoint that .DELTA.A depends on material and load level, .DELTA.A has been applied to evaluate the fatigue crack propagation rate and usefulness of the result has been considered. As a result, it has been ascertained that .DELTA.A has been a useful parameter to evaluate the fatigue crack propagation rate.

Recent technological advances in sensor fabrication and bio-signal processing enabled non-constraint and non-intrusive measurement of human bio-signals. Especially, non-constraint measurement of ECG makes it available to estimate various human health parameters such as heart rate. Additionally, non-constraint ECG measurement of wheelchair user provides real-time health parameter information for emergency response. For accurate emergency response with low false alarm rate, it is necessary to discriminate quality levels of ECG measured using non-constraint approach. Health parameters acquired from low quality ECG results in inaccurate information. Thus, in this study, a machine learning based approach for three-class classification of ECG quality level is suggested. Three sensors are embedded in the back seat, chest belt, and handle of automatic wheelchair. For the two sensors embedded in back seat and chest belt, capacitively coupled electrodes were used. The accuracy of quality level classification was estimated using Monte Carlo cross validation. The proposed approach demonstrated accuracy of 94.01%, 95.57%, and 96.94% for each channel of three sensors. Furthermore, the implemented algorithm enables classification of user posture by detection of contacted electrodes. The accuracy for posture estimation was 94.57%. The proposed algorithm will contribute to non-constraint and robust estimation of health parameter of wheelchair users.

According to the development of optical technology, the capacity of LIDAR equipments has been greatly improved to get rock mass characteristics precisely and accurately enough and it has been lightened and popularized so that it can be easily used in the field. In this study, we examined the applicability of roughness measurement for joints in a rock slope using LIDAR technique. A triangular irregular network was constructed using LIDAR and a patch, which is a plane structure of discontinuity on rock mass measured from LIDAR scanning, was extracted to estimate the roughness of the rock slope. Four different kinds of roughness parameters were analyzed to find out their correlation with JRC for various point intervals. Among them, $R_s$ parameter was used to measure the roughness of a patch. Regression analysis between four roughness parameters and JRC with respect to point interval was performed. All the roughness parameters decreased with the increase of point interval. In addition, the parameter value showed greater decrease for rougher surfaces. A method of roughness measurement using $R_s$ parameter on rock slope discontinuities was suggested which showed slight overestimation of the real roughness value.

Recent major domestic facilities, such as nuclear power plants, many control cables are installed and are degraded by long-term use, but research on deterioration diagnosis is lacking. In the event of a fault in the cable due to deterioration can be developed into a major accident such as the main plant is stopped, so the deterioration diagnostic techniques of high reliability for the cable is required. In this paper, proposes a methodology using a cable resonance that can effectively diagnose the deterioration of the cable. Prior to the test, we developed a setup for stable measuring the characteristics of the cable and it verified the suitable of the measurement set-up in terms of interactivity and reliability, also measured S-parameters applying verified measurement set-up to the cables that deterioration degree is different. Then, we had amplified the difference in resonance frequency between the healthy state and the deteriorated state using connection in a series of measured S-parameters. In a result from the method, we have verified that the more deteriorate the cables is, the more decrease the resonance frequency is. Measured results are justified by inducing the resonance frequency calculation of the cable from the S- parameters represented by the hyperbolic function formula. VNA(Vector Network Analyzer) for S-parameter measurements used in this study is Agilent E5061B and shielded twisted-pair cables was used for deterioration diagnostic test.

In this paper we describe SLA metrics and software architecture for newly upcoming IP TV service. Firstly we show the general description for IP TV. This consists of brief description of IP TV, the general figure of configuration and elements of IP TV network and communication protocol stack of IP TV data transmission for deriving communication quality parameter. And we propose SLA metrics depending on quality measurement point. According to the measurement point the measurable SLA metrics are different. The total view of the IP TV SLA measurement and management architecture is shown. When the quality measurement point is the routers that consist of internet node, the IP media NMS is the quality collection system. And when the quality measurement point is the IP TV STB(Set-Top Box), the IP media collector and Quality Collection Server are the quality collection system. And we show the software block diagram of IP TV SLA processing system and the other related network management systems.

Reliable results can't be derived without the notion of measurement uncertainty. The reason is that the measured value includes a lot of uncertain factors. Finding the factor that affect the measurement of parameter is important for estimation of measurement uncertainty. In this paper, the evaluation of uncertainty analysis about positioning accuracy measurements of high precision feed mechanism is presented to evaluate the important factors of uncertainty.

This paper suggested the fast and easy method of the dielectric constant measurement for planar dielectrics using a microstrip line. The complex permittivity and permeability were presented by the first reflection and transmission coefficient which were derived from the scattering parameters. This method was verified by the measurement of a known planar dielectric using a microstrip line. This method can be applied to the dielectric constant measurement of unknown planar dielectric.
