Many kinds of materials have been used up to now for vocal fold paralysis. Although silastic block has been the most popular material, some difficulties in carving, positioning, and placing have been the causes to find more easily applicable materials. Hy-droxylapatite, gelfoam, hyaluronic acid and fat have been suggested and used for this purposes with some limitations. During last decade, Gore-Tex was introduced and replacing old materials and showed good surgical results with less difficulties. This material is biocompatible and familiar to surgeons because it had been invented in 1960's. In addition it is easy to shape and place Gore-Tex into the window with many clinical experiences. In some problem cases, it is easy to remove from the body with less damage to surrounding tissue. The basic surgical techniques are as follows. 1) Creating window. 2) Positioning and placing the material. 3) Immobilizing the material and closing the window. The modified methods ae introduced in details with figures.

This study was conducted to compare the survival rate of chick embryos among different eggshell window positions and to search for the most appropriate injection position. The eggshells were punctured at blunt-end, sharp-end and side-up with a sterilized fine forceps, respectively. The survival rate of sharp-end window was higher than the other window positions. Injection of Dulbecco’s modified eagle’s medium (DMEM) through blunt-end window (BE1) was impossible because inner cell membrane was obscure. The 2 ${\mu}$L DMEM was injected into 2.5 d-old embryo blood vessel through sharp end window. To prevent hemorrhages at the point of injection, the air bubbles were injected into the embryo blood vessel. The survival rate of chicks embryo in sharp end window was about 17.0％. Therefore, this sharp-end window system will be helpful for the production of germline chimera or transgenic chicken using primordial germ cells ( PGCs ).

In urban environments, signals of Global Positioning System (GPS) can be blocked and reflected by tall buildings, large vehicles, and complex components of road network. Therefore, the performance of the positioning system using the GPS module in urban areas can be degraded due to the loss of GPS signals necessary for the position estimation. To deal with this issue, various localization schemes using inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors, such as gyroscope and accelerometer, and Bayesian filters, such as Kalman filter (KF) and particle filter (PF), have been designed to enhance the performance of the GPS-based positioning system. Among Bayesian filters, the PF has been widely used for the target tracking and vehicle navigation, since it can provide superior performance in estimating the state of a dynamic system under nonlinear/non-Gaussian circumstance. This paper presents a positioning system that uses the double-stacked particle filter (DSPF) as well as the accelerometer, gyroscope, and GPS receiver on the smartphone to provide higher pedestrian positioning accuracy in urban environments. The DSPF employs a nonparametric technique (Parzen-window) to create the multimodal target distribution that approximates the posterior distribution. Experimental results show that the DSPF-based positioning system can provide the significant improvement of the pedestrian position estimation in urban environments.

This paper analyzes navigation performances of the Korean Positioning System (KPS) constellation with respect to the orbit parameters which fulfills the specification requirements. Specifically, the satellite configuration and navigation requirements of KPS are explained, and the daily mean horizontal dilution of precision (HDOP) and satellite visibility on KPS coverage are analyzed to confirm the adequate orbit parameters. However, due to orbital slot saturation, geostationary-orbit (GEO) satellites may not be allocated in the original orbit as specified in the KPS requirements. Therefore, in a spanned window of 4 degrees from the reference longitude the navigation performance of each GEO satellite orbit is investigated.

The Global Positioning System is a navigation system that has been developed by the United States for military use. Currently, many countries, including the Republic of Korea, use GPS for civilian and military uses. However, as useful as it is, GPS is vulnerable to its Jamming signal, as the strength of the signal from satellites is very weak. In this paper, a novel jamming signal detection and cancellation method is proposed when a narrow-band jamming signal is included in the GPS received signal. At the GPS receiver, the received signal is transformed to a frequency domain sample by Fast Fourier Transform. In order to suppress the Spectral Leakage, the Blackman-Harris window is used. The proposed jamming signal cancellation algorithm will find the frequency sample with maximum power and null the maximum sample in addition to some lateral samples. If the GPS receiver is designed with FFT of size 128 to 512, it is shown that 42 samples are optimal to cancel the narrow-band jamming signal.

In the recent years, domestic construction companies have tried to differentiate their apartments using brand positioning. Respective construction companies are attracting public attention with discriminative brands. This study investigated residents' preferences focusing on apartments facade design used in marketing strategy of brand apartments. Four concepts in surveyed brand apartments are deluxe, modern, eco-friendly and comfortable. According to the related study on design factor of apartment facade, the design factors are chosen such as the overall building shape, balcony form, main color, exterior wall shape, material, main access shape, pent house design and window size. As a result of analysis, there was a difference between brand concepts and consumers' views. Therefore, apartment facade design to differentiate their own companies' brand images should consider the perception of customers.

Ships and their cargos have been managed safely by positioning report system. However, little attention has been paid to safety of crew's works with danger. The attempt that used PHS inboard was before by the present authors. However, the functions were just voice call and mail exchange. The data acquisition from the terminal by proper control was not possible. Thus the position of the terminal was not available. As for the cell phone of next generation, GPS receiver and wireless LAN are installed by manufacturers. Therefore, we propose a system which uses a cell-phone with GPS receiver on a ship in order to promote the safety of ship's crew. We checked the availability of cell-phone GPS receiver at thirty different points inboard. The positioning was not possible in the areas further than 4m from the window. Then, we proposed the system which follows the positions of the crews and confirms their safety inboard by using the VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) function by wireless LAN.

In automobile glass fitting the stud is welded on the window seating panel in order to insert the plastic molding onto the stud. Since this type of process is in general manually done, almost 50% of the output turns out to be failure resulted from work inefficiency and weld inferiority. Therefore, it is required to improve this process for the productivity elevation through the application of the robot.

The flow velocity distribution at inlet and exit of a DPF was measured using a Pitot tube and 2-D positioning equipment. An adaptor which was designed for accessing the Pitot tube probe into inlet of the DPF was fabricated with inlet flange of the DPF. The Pitot tube which was mounted in the 2-D positioning machine could access to the inlet of the DPF through the rectangular window of the adaptor. Automation of the velocity measurement at the inlet and exit of the DPF was effectively achieved and measuring time was reduced drastically. The flow velocity distribution at the inlet of the DPF showed parabola shape with maximum velocity near to the center of the DPF, as expected. The velocity distribution at the exit of the DPF showed crown shape, that is, the flow velocity distribution near to the center of the DPF is lower than that at surrounded peripheral region of the DPF.

In this study, 3D positioning of CCT digital imagery was done by using a personal computer image processing method to increase the economic and time efficiency of SPOT satellite imagery. Image matching technique which applies statistical theories, was applied to acqusition of satellite imagery. The reliability of these coordinates was anlysed to presente a new algorithm for three dimensional positioning necessary in digital elevation modelling and orthophoto production. In acquiring image coordinates from CCT digital satellite imagery, accuracy of planimetric and height coordinates was improved by applying the image matching technique and it was found through analysis of correlation factors between sizes of target window that 19$\times$19 pixels was the most suitable size for image coordinate acquisition. From these results, it was able to present an algorithm about utility of digital imagery in the analysis of SPOT satellite data.
