Image findings of hepatic lymphoma have been reported as variable, ranging from single or multiple small nodules to diffuse infiltrative patterns. On MRI, most hepatic lymphomas show T1 low signal intensity, T2 high signal intensity. Dynamic imaging reveals a hypointense appearance in the arterial phase, followed by delayed enhancement in the portal venous and transitional phase. In the hepatobiliary phase using a hepatocyte-specific contrast agent (which have recently aided in increasing the access to the focal liver lesions), hepatic lymphoma is known to exhibit low signal intensity. We report a case of hepatic lymphoma, which shows iso-signal intensity on hepatobiliary phase, using gadoxetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA).

This paper presents the physiological signal processing CMOS one chip for transmitting human bodys small electrical signals such as electrocardiogram(EKG) or electromyogram(EMG) and the external system for receiving signals was implemented by the commercial ICs. For simultaneous four-subject four-channel telemetry, a new enfored synchronization techniqeu using infrared bi-directional communication has been proposed. The telemeter IC with the size of 5.1*5.1mm$^{2}$ has the following functions: receiving of command signal, initialization of internal state of all functional blocks, decoding of subject-selection signal, time multiplexing of 4-channel modulated physiological signals, transmitting of telemetry signal to external system and auto power down control. The newly designed synchronized oscillator with low supply voltage dependence in the telemeter IC operates at a supply voltage from 4.6~6.0V and the nonlinearity error of PIM modulator was less than 1.2%F.S(full scale). The power saving block operates at the period of 2.5ms even if the telemetry IC does not receive command signal from external system for a constant time.

The signal pattern recognition method by acoustic emission signal is applied to detect and classify the defects of a journal bearing in a power plant. AE signals of main defects such as overheating, wear and corrosion are obtained from a small scale model. To detect and classify the defects, AE signal pattern recognition program is developed. As the classification methods, the wavelet transformation analysis, the frequency domain analysis and time domain analysis are used. Among three analyses, the wavelet transformation analysis is most effective to detect and classify the defects of the journal bearing..

An erbium doped fiber amplifier(EDFA) pumped by aingle 1.48$\mu$m LD was fabricated, and its gain and noise characteristics were measured. As a signal source, 1548 nm wavelength DFB LD was used. The small signal net gain of the EDFA module was 21.8 dB with maximum gain coefficient 0.7dB/mW for the erbium fiber length of 17.6 m, the pump power of 58 mW, and an input signal power of -25 dBm, respectively. The saturation power of the EDFA was 1 dBm for the input signal power of -5 dBm and the noise figure, measured by using an optical spectrum analyzer, was 5.8 dB for the input signal power of -40 dBm.

The airborne tracking radar is located in front of aircraft or missile and measures and tracks a target motion. The signal processor receives target signals from a receiver using A/D converters, and calculates the target motion, and transfers the data to the aircraft or missile control unit. Since the signal processing system is required to be lightweight and small size as well as high performance to calculate and analyze the received signal, we use high speed DSPs and SMD type components having low power consumption. In this paper, we describe the design concept of signal processing system of the airborne tracking radar.

치아 조직안에서의 OCT 신호의 검출 및 최적화를 위해 몬테카를로 수치해석 프로그램을 개발하였다. 수치해석 결과에 의해 치아 조직 내에서의 깊이에 따라 서로 다른 전파 특성을 갖는 두가지 신호를 얻었다. 검출 신호는 약 60w 이상의 깊이에서 잡음 신호가 특성 신호에 비해 커짐으로 검출이 어려웠으나, 검출 영역 및 각도의 제한에 의해 5000n이상으로 검출 깊이가 증가함을 알수 있었다.

This paper describes various mismatch phenomena in differential pulse code modulation (DPCM) coding, such as the mismatch effects of probability density functin(pdf), signal variance, and correlation. At a high transmission rate(i.e., above 32 kbits/s), the performance of DPCM can be improved by matching the pdf shape between the input signal and the quantizer. However, the same gain cannot be obtained at a lower transmission rate. Also, it is shown that the gamma quantizer is realtively robust to the variation of pdf shaper and signal variance. Moreover, as the transmission rate increases, the performance of DPCM for the input signal with large variance is worse than that of DPCM for the signal with small variance due to the increase of overload noise. According to our simuladiton results, the mismatch effects of pdf shape and variance appear to yield more degradatin than that of correlation in a DPCM system.

It is difficult to detect such flaws as stress - corrosion cracking or corrosion wastage(loss of bolt diameter) in the threads. In many cases the critical size of a flaw is very small(1-2 mm order). This paper describes how it is possible to discriminate small flaw indications in threads using the time difference or thread signals(TDTS) by a signal-conditioning technique.

소형 PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) 연료전지 시스템은 가습이 필요치 않아 상용화의 가능성이 크지만 그 제어 방법은 뚜렷하게 정립되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 소형 PEM 연료전지 시스템의 제어를 위해 이중 루프 구조의 제어방식을 정립하고 DSP (Digital Signal Processor)를 이용하여 구현한다. 일반적으로 연료전지 시스템에서 제어의 핵심 요소는 크게 공기와 수소의 공급, 스택 내부의 수분 관리, 스택의 온도 관리로 나뉜다. 별도의 가습이 없이 공랭식으로 구동되는 소형 PEM 연료전지 스택의 제어에 있어서 팬은 스택의 공기 공급과 열관리 및 수분관리를 위한 핵심적인 역할을 하며, 퍼지밸브는 스택 내부의 잉여수분을 배출한다. 제안된 방식은 이중 제어루프를 이용한 팬의 제어를 통해 팬의 과도응답을 빠르게 하여 공기의 공급 속도를 개선시키며, 연료전지 스택의 전압변화를 피드백 하여 보상해줌으로써 연료전지가 부하변동에 대해 신속한 응답 특성을 갖도록 하였다. 제안된 방법의 유용함은 60W급 소형 PEM 연료전지 시스템의 실험과 이를 이용한 노트북 컴퓨터의 구동을 통해 검증된다.

Background: To prevent small leakage accidents, a real-time and direct detection system for small leaks with a detection limit below that of existing systems, e.g. $0.5gpm{\cdot}hr^{-1}$, is required. In this study, a small-size beta detector, which can be installed inside the reactor containment (CT) building and detect small leaks directly, was suggested and its feasibility was evaluated using MCNPX simulation. Materials and Methods: A target nuclide was selected through analysis of radiation from radionuclides in the reactor coolant system (RCS) and the spectrum was obtained via a silicon detector simulated in MCNPX. A window was designed to reduce the background signal caused by other nuclides. The sensitivity of the detector was also estimated, and its shielding designed for installation inside the reactor CT. Results and Discussion: The beta and gamma spectrum of the silicon detector showed a negligible gamma signal but it also contained an undesired peak at 0.22 MeV due to other nuclides, not the $^{16}N$ target nuclide. Window to remove the peak was derived as 0.4 mm for beryllium. The sensitivity of silicon beta detector with a beryllium window of 1.7 mm thickness was derived as $5.172{\times}10^{-6}{\mu}Ci{\cdot}cc^{-1}$. In addition, the specification of the shielding was evaluated through simulations, and the results showed that the integrity of the silicon detector can be maintained with lead shielding of 3 cm (<15 kg). This is a very small amount compared to the specifications of the lead shielding (600 kg) required for installation of $^{16}N$ gamma detector in inside reactor CT, it was determined that beta detector would have a distinct advantage in terms of miniaturization. Conclusion: The feasibility of the beta detector was evaluated for installation inside the reactor CT to detect small leaks below $0.5gpm{\cdot}hr^{-1}$. In future, the design will be optimized on specific data.
