Purpose To evaluate whether the image quality of chest radiographs obtained using a camera-type portable X-ray device is appropriate for clinical practice by comparing them with traditional mobile digital X-ray devices. Materials and Methods Eighty-six patients who visited our emergency department and underwent endotracheal intubation, central venous catheterization, or nasogastric tube insertion were included in the study. Two radiologists scored images captured with traditional mobile devices before insertion and those captured with camera-type devices after insertion. Identification of the inserted instruments was evaluated on a 5-point scale, and the overall image quality was evaluated on a total of 20 points scale. Results The identification score of the instruments was 4.67 ± 0.71. The overall image quality score was 19.70 ± 0.72 and 15.02 ± 3.31 (p < 0.001) for the mobile and camera-type devices, respectively. The scores of the camera-type device were significantly lower than those of the mobile device in terms of the detailed items of respiratory motion artifacts, trachea and bronchus, pulmonary vessels, posterior cardiac blood vessels, thoracic intervertebral disc space, subdiaphragmatic vessels, and diaphragm (p = 0.013 for the item of diaphragm, p < 0.001 for the other detailed items). Conclusion Although caution is required for general diagnostic purposes as image quality degrades, a camera-type device can be used to evaluate the inserted instruments in chest radiographs.

수도계량기(이하 "수량계")는 액체용 적산부피계로 물 사용량을 적산 계량하기 위한 기계기구 또는 장치이며 수량계 검정기준에 의해 검사기준 합격제품을 사용하서 수도요금을 징수합니다. 사실상 국내계량에 관한 법률에 의거하여 전이유량비가 6.3배수(2014년) > 4.0배수(2016년) > 1.6배수(2017년)로 점점 향상되며 2017년 기준으로 국제법정계량기구(OIML)의 성능과 같은 1.6배수까지 향상되어 국내의 수량계 기술기준이 많은 부분 향상되었습니다. 그러나 국제법정계량기구(OIML)는 현재 1.6배수의 80배수까지 검사기준에 합격에 반하여 현제 국내의 검사기준은 1.6배수의 100배수까지만 합격기준을 가지고 있습니다. 이러한 기준은 점차 발전해가고 있는 후발국가에 속하는 자국의 검사기준이 너무 갑작스럽게 국제법정계량기구(OIML)의 기준보다 높은 검사기준을 시행하며 많은 문제가 발생한 것 같습니다. 위와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위하여 여러 복합적인 부품으로 이루어진 수량계의 유량 및 유속에 영향력이 있다고 보여지는 특정 부품 혹은 부위의 개선 및 개발로 해결할 수 있지 않을까 하는 의구심에 연구를 시작되었습니다. 유량 및 유속에 영향을 끼치는 유입부의 스트레이너, 내부 임펠러의 변경으로 성능검사에서 영향을 끼치는지를 유체역학 및 유동해석 등을 통하여 테스트 후 각각 단계 및 상황별 목업금형을 제작하여 현재 국내검사기준으로 진행되는 성능테스트인 기차테스트를 진행하였습니다. 먼저 수량계의 특성상 수량계 내부의 유량을 유체역학 및 유동해석으로 정확히 뽑아내는 것이 불가능하여 유입부 유출부의 유량의 흐름을 기준으로 유체역학 및 유동해석을 진행하였습니다. 테스트 후 그 결과 값으로 유입부의 스트레이너의 삽입 각도를 0°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 270°로 각각 제작하여 테스트를 진행하였으며, 내부 임펠러는 straight, SR, SL, SL R70, SL R60, R75, SR R65 형상으로 각각 제작하여 테스트를 진행하였습니다. 전반적으로 기존의 수량계보다 높은 성능을 보여주었으며, 특정 스트레이너의 삽입각도 및 임펠러의 형상에서는 기존보다 훨씬 유수율이 절감되는 결과값이 나왔습니다. 그로 인해 검사기준에 쉽게 부합할 수 있으며 물 사용량을 보다 정확히 계측하여 정확한 수도요금을 부과하여 국세 낭비로 인한 경제적 손실을 감소할 수 있을 것 같습니다.

이 연구에서는 SUS304 기판과 Cr-Al-Si-N 코팅사이의 밀착특성을 향상시키기 위하여 하이브리드 증착법으로 Cr Interlayer를 기판위에 증착시킨 후 Cr-Al-Si-N 코팅을 증착하였다. 그리고 Ball-on-disk 마모테스트와 스크래치 테스트를 통해 밀착력, 파괴기구, 그리고 마찰거동 등을 살펴보았다. Cr-Al-Si-N 코팅에 60nm 두께의 Cr Interlayer 삽입되었을 때는 기판에 Cr-Al-Si-N 코팅만 증착되었을 때의 밀착력(${\sim}30N$) 보다 더 우수한 ${\sim}50N$의 밀착력을 나타내었고 내마모성 또한 향상되었다. 밀착력 증가는 Cr Interlayer 삽입에 따른 SUS304 기판과 Cr-Al-Si-N 코팅사이의 전단응력 감소에 기인한 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, we developed the biometric ultrasound transducer, residual thickness measurement algorithm and optimized ultrasound operation methods to diagnose precise conditions of implanted medical prosthetic material inserted during total hip artificial joint replacement. In detail, ultrasound transducers having 8 MHz and 20 MHz center frequencies with similar sensitivity and bandwidth were fabricated to measure various thicknesses of commercial polyethylene-based artificial hip liners, resulting in a comparative analysis of signal-to-noise ratio and axial resolution to conduct an optimization study of ultrasound operations in vivo.

This study was the effect of inserting CO tube on $NO_x$ and CO emission characteristics in a compact combustion chamber. In detail, $NO_x$ and CO emission characteristics with changing of distance due to inserting CO tube between a burner and a main heat exchanger were investigated. For this study, the commercial program, FLUENT with GRI 2.11 detail reaction mechanism, was used for the numerical study and a commercial heat exchanger was tested for the experimental study. As results, when the CO tube was inserted between a burner and a main heat exchanger, it was verified that $NO_x$ and CO emissions was decreased simultaneously as CO tube was closed to a burner and the distance between CO tube and a main heat exchanger was increased.

This study was conducted to evaluate the insertion depth of Buchanan plugger after shaping by various Ni-Ti rotary files. It was conducted to determine which size of plugger are appropriate, when root canals are shaped with Ni-Ti rotary files and obturated by Continuous wave of condensation technique. Two type of eighty simulated resin blocks were used : J-shaped and straight shaped canal. The simulated canals were instrumented by ProTaper and ProFile. Buchanan pluggers were inserted into the canal, and then the image was recorded to scanner. The distance from the apex of the canal to the plugger tip was measured by image analysis program. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Scheffe's test. The results were as follows 1. In straight canal finished up to ProTaper F2 and F3 file, F and FM pluggers were inserted more than 5 mm short of working length. 2. In J-shaped canal finished up to ProTaper F2 file, F pluggers were inserted more than 5 mm short of working length. Finished up to ProTaper F3 file. F and FM pluggers were inserted more than 5 mm short of working length. 3. In straight and J-shaped canal finished up to ProFile .06/#20 and .06/#25, any of Buchanan plugger could not be inserted more than 5 mm short of working length. These results suggest that canals shaped by ProTaper could be obturated by Continuous wave of condensation technique with F and FM size Buchanan plugger.

A SIM card socket is used for a cell phone to fix an USIM card and a push-push mechanism is typically employed in the SIM card socket for a user convenience. A SIM card is inserted with locking when a user pushes the card once and a SIM card is removed with unlocking when a user pushes the card again. A push-push mechanism is operated by a heart-cam structure and a main spring. A cam slider and a cam stick consisting a push-push mechanism may be broken because of the main spring. So, dynamic stress at a cam slider and a cam stick which is generated by a main spring during operating should be analyzed and considered in the push-push mechanism design. In this paper, a flexible multibody model of a push-push mechanism was developed to analyze dynamic stress at a cam slider and a cam stick.

1931년 Burman은 주관절의 제한된 관절 공간, 관절낭 팽창의 어려움, 삽입구 주변에 근접한 신경-혈관 구조물에 의해 주관절 관절경은 불가능하다고 보고하였다. 비록 1935년 자신이 다시 여러 번 시도 끝에 주관절 전방 관절낭을 관절경으로 관찰한 후 주관절도 관절경적 접근이 가능하다는 점을 처음으로 언급하였지만 1980년대 중반까지도 몇몇의 보고를 제외하고 주관절 관절경에 대한 관심은 매우 적었다. 그 후 주관절 관절경은 관절경 기구들의 발달과 소관절을 위한 소구경 관절경의 발전과 함께 하였다. 1985 Andrew와 Carson이 supine position에서 전외측, 전내측 그리고 후외측 삽입구를 이용하여 주관절을 관찰하였으며 1989년 Poehling은 후방 주관절 접근이 용이하도록 prone position으로 관절경을 시행하였고 최근 새로운 접근 방법 및 확대된 적응증에 대한 보고가 점점 늘어나고 있다. 주관절 관절경의 합병증은 적지만 주관절 주변의 해부학적 구조물에 대한 정확한 이해를 가지고 있어야 심각한 합병증을 발생을 예방할 수 있다.

Watermark detection has a crucial role in copyright protection of and authentication for multimedia and has classically been tackled by means of correlation-based algorithms. Nevertheless, when watermark embedding does not obey an additive rule, correlation-based detection is not the optimum choice. So a new detection algorithm is proposed which is optimum for non-additive watermark embedding. By relying on statistical decision theory, the proposed method is derived according to the Bayes decision theory, Neyman-Pearson criterion, and distribution of wavelet coefficients, thus permitting to minimize the missed detection probability subject to a given false detection probability. The superiority of the proposed method has been tested from a robustness perspective. The results confirm the superiority of the proposed technique over classical correlation- based method.
