Electrical arc is the final stage of insulation breakdown and has high current density which cause heat and light in insulator. Insulator under electrical arc lost its insulating strength and eternal damages. Conventional criterion of electrical arc resistance in Standards have depended on the change of sound pressure and light color after damages on insulator by electrical arc. The recognition of these changes is done by human himself which was very subjective and resulted in some error to judge whether insulator has damages or not. This paper has shown that antenna method is the appropriate measure to judge electrical arc resistance for insulator. Antenna measures the electromagnetic waves radiated from tungsten electrodes with 6mm gap regulated by KSC2130. Applied voltage cross two tungsten electrodes have two different methods such as 1/8 10 and continuous 10mA. Signal amplitudes obtained by antenna has diminished after the damage of insulator, which will provide objective and good way to judge the electrical arc resistance.

Image processing systems have been used to measure the plant parameters such as size, shape and structure of plants. There are yet some limited applications for evaluating plant colors due to illumination conditions. This study was focused to present adaptive methods to analyze plant leaf color regardless of illumination conditions. Color patches attached on the calibration bars were selected to represent leaf colors of lettuces and to test a possibility of health monitoring of lettuces. Repeatability of assigning leaf colors to color patches was investigated by two-tailed t-test for paired comparison. It resulted that there were no differences of assignment histogram between two images of one lettuce that were acquired at different light conditions. It supported that use of the calibration bars proposed for leaf color analysis provided color constancy, which was one of the most important issues in a video color analysis. A health discrimination equation was developed to classify lettuces into one of two classes, SOUND group and POOR group, using the machine vision. The classification accuracy of the developed health discrimination equation was 80.8%, compared to farmers' decision. This study could provide a feasible method to develop a standard color chart for evaluating leaf colors of plants and plant health monitoring system using the machine vision.

Sensory devices have been developed to help people with disabled or weakened sensory functions. Such devices play a role in collecting and transferring data for the five senses (vision, sound, smell, taste, and tactility) and also stimulating nerves. To provide brain or prosthesis devices with more sophisticated senses, hyper sensory devices with a high resolution comparable to or even better than the human system based on individual neuron cells are essential. As for data collecting components, technologies for sensors with higher resolution and sensitivity, and the conversion of algorithms from physical sensing data to human neuron signals, are needed. Converted data can be transferred to neurons that are responsible for human senses through communication with high security, and neural interfaces with high resolution. When communication deals with human data, security is the most important consideration, and intra-body communication is expected to be a candidate with high priority. To generate sophisticated human senses by modulating neurons, neural interfaces should modulate individual neurons, and therefore a high resolution compared to human neurons (~ several tens of um) with a large area covering neuron cells for human senses (~ several tens of mm) should be developed. The technological challenges for developing sensory devices with human and even beyond-human capabilities have been tackled by various research groups, the details of which are described in this paper.

Background and Objectives To evaluate the difference in near-infrared (810 nm) laser energy transmission through teeth with and without cracks. Materials and Methods Extracted teeth were sectioned and examined visually for the presence of cracks with the aid of photographs and a trans-illuminator. Fourteen sections, each with cracks (Group A) and no cracks (Group B) were identified and placed 15 mm from the tip of a 300 micron fiber, prior to activation with an 810 nm diode laser (0.1W, 50 ms interval,100 ms duration). A power meter positioned behind the tooth recorded the average energy that was transmitted through the samples. Unpaired t-test analysis was used to determine if the tooth sections with cracks allowed higher power passage compared to sound teeth. Results The mean power recording for the cracked teeth (Group A) was significantly greater (p = 0.0005) than that for the non-cracked teeth (Group B). Conclusion Within the limitations of this study, it is evident that significantly higher laser energy passes through teeth with cracks in comparison to teeth without cracks. A recent clinical study has also shown that lasers could be used to assess symptomatic cracked teeth. Hence, further research is required to determine the relative increase in energy required to identify symptomatic cracked teeth.

그라운드 앵커공법은 현재 우리나라에서 가장 일반적으로 사용되는 사면보강공법들 중 하나이다. 그러므로 앵커로 보강된 사면의 안정성을 장기간 확인하기 위해서는 그라운드 앵커의 긴장력을 측정하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 그러나 전통적인 로드 셀 방식의 측정기술을 제외하고는 특별한 기술이 개발된 것이 없다. 본 논문에서는 지반구조물의 보강을 위해 널리 사용되는 그라운드 앵커의 단기 및 장기 장력을 측정하기 위해 기존에 현장에서 주로 사용되는 스트레인게이지 또는 V/W 타입 로드 셀을 대체할 수 있는 새로운 방법에 대하여 기술하였다. 사용된 센서는 스트레인게이지 또는 V/W타입의 센서에 비해 크기가 작고 내구성이 우수하며 전자기파에 의한 노이즈 발생이 없는 광섬유 브래그격자(Fiber Bragg Grating ; FBG)센서이다. FBG 센서를 내장한 7연 강연선을 이용하여 원하는 위치에서 변형률 감지가 가능한 인장형 앵커를 제작하고 앵커 정착장을 연암과 화강풍화토 지반조건에 각각 2세트(set)씩 시공하여 현장인발실험을 수행하였다. 재하-제하단계를 포함하는 전 하중단계에서 FBG센서로 측정된 변형률로부터 장력 모니터링을 수행하였고 기존 로드 셀로 측정된 결과와 비교하였다. 현장 인발실험 결과, 제안된 광섬유 센서를 이용한 그라운드 앵커의 시공 중 긴장력 측정결과 실내 UTM 결과와 달리 약간의 차이가 있으나 실용적인 차원에서는 충분히 활용 가능한 것으로 확인되었다.

Purpose : This study aims to investigate into the change in muscle power, pain and muscle tension upon application of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and ultrasound (US) at trigger point (TrP) of the Scapular inter angle. Methods : In total of 24 human subjects that experience pain upon stimulation at the scapular inter angle were recruited. They were divided into three groups: control, ESWT and US group. Each group was subjected to appropriate stimulation three times per week for four weeks except the control group which had no restrictions in lifestyle. The ESWT group was subjected to Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy with a 2 $cm^2$ head, 20 times at speed of application of 60 pulses/min and depth of intrusion of 25 mm Whereas the US group was subject to Ultra sound therapy with 1$cm^2$ head, 1 MHz in frequency, 1.5 W/$cm^2$ of strength with five minutes of continuous application. Measurements were performed immediately prior to and at the end of the experiment. Results : There was no statistical significance in the change in muscle tension and muscle power as well as the difference between both groups before and after the experiment. VAS and VRS, all of which indicates changes in pain level, had statistically significant differences between them in pretest posttest comparisons. However, ESWT was superior to US in terms of decreasing muscle tension and pain while increasing muscle power. Conclusion : This study has made it evident that ESWT is far more reasonable to apply to TrP.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to evaluate whether rats with non-obstructive antral dilation could be a useful tool resembling functional dyspeptic patients. We also investigated the effect of Bojoongikki-tang (BJ), and Youngkaechulgam-tang (YK) in antral dilated rats. Methods : Non-obstructive antral dilation was performed by first wrapping a non-absorbable rubber ring (D:6mm, W:4mm, T:1mm) around the 1st portion of the duodenum causing pyloric obstruction (PO). After 12 weeks, except for some PO group rats used for the control, the rubber ring was removed by performing another operation. The antral dilated rats (AD) were then divided into three groups, a non-treatment group (AD-NT), and two herbal medicine groups each given an extract solution containing 125 mg/kg of Youngkaechulgam-tang (AD-YK) or Bojoongikki-tang (AD-BJ) for 4 weeks. Then gastric contractility was evaluated by bowel sound measurement, and afterwards the changes of the weight, and morphologic changes of the stomach were evaluated for each group including the normal intact group (NI). Results : Loss of weight and enlargement of the stomach surface area was seen in the PO group. Decrease of gastric motility index was observed in the AD-NT group, while the increased surface area of the stomach was not significantly different from the PO group. Youngkaechulgam-tang seemed to increase gastric contraction, whereas Bojoongikki-tang showed no effect. Weight gain of rats was observed in both the AD-YK and AD-BJ groups, but there seemed to be no change of the dilated stomach surface area. Conclusions : The non-obstructive antral dilated rat seems to be an experimental pathologic model that reflects the gastric dysmotility similar to functional dyspeptic patients with antral dilation. Therefore patients with dysmotility-like dyspepsia with antral function disorders should be treated efficiently. As Youngkaechulgam-tang is shown to increase both gastric contraction and weight in antral dilated rats, it may be used for treating functional dyspepsia. However, Bojoongikki-tang should be used with caution in patients with gastric dysmotility.

AM 라디오 방송은 FM라디오 대비해 음질은 떨어지나 서비스 권역이 넓으며, 야간에는 전리층 반사를 이용하여 해외까지도 송신이 가능한 장점이 있다. 그러나 AM라디오방송은 통상 수십 ~ 수백 kW 급의 대출력 송신을 위해 많은 전력이 요구되어 방송사의 재정적 부담으로 작용된다. 이런 이유에서 최근 국내 방송사들은 AM 라디오방송 송출 전력을 낮출 수 있는 고효율 송출방식의 도입을 요구하고 있다. 따라서 이들 방식이 기존 AM라디오 방송 송출 대비 어느 정도의 전력 절감이 가능하며, 기존의 허가 서비스 권역과 음질을 유지될 수 있는 지와 해당 기술을 도입하기 위해서 어떤 정책들이 필요한 지 등이 정책적 이슈로 대두되었다. 본고에서는 기존 AM 라디오방송 송출시스템에 고효율 전송방식을 적용할 경우에 대해 송출 전력의 절감을 예측하였다. 연구 결과 기존 AM라디오 송출방식 대신 AMC방식의 고효율전송 방식을 채택할 경우, AM라디오 변조율이 70%인 경우 -3 dB의 컴팬딩을 적용하면 연간 AM라디오 방송 송출에 소요되는 전력요금이 51억8천5백만원에서 35억2천8백만원으로 감소되어 32.0%, -6 dB의 컴팬딩을 적용하면 26억 8백만원으로 감소되어 49.7%가 절감되는 것으로 분석되었다.
