Staphylococcus epidermidis is a part of the normal skin flora of humans. However, it can cause serious infections in people exposed to foreign bodies or in immunocompromised patients. A 13-year-old boy was hospitalized with fever and myalgia. Painful nodular lesions were detected on the scalp, arms, and legs. Pancytopenia and blasts were present in the peripheral blood. He was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Magnetic resonance imaging of the whole body showed multiple peripheral rim-enhancing, cyst-like lesions. Ultrasonography showed echogenic nodules inside the cystic lesions in the intramuscular space of the arms and legs. Therefore, cysticercosis was strongly suggested initially. However, an abscess was confirmed on sono-guided biopsy and S. epidermidis was isolated from a microbial culture of the tissue. We report a case of multiple disseminated lesions caused by S. epidermidis in a leukemia patient, initially mistaken for cysticercosis.

This study newly presents a synthetic phase tuning technique to suppress the unwanted torsional mode while enhancing the desired torsional mode in a pipe. Specifically, we aim at the enhancement of the first torsional mode and the suppression of the undesired, second torsional mode. Earlier efforts were to enhance the desired wave mode only in the hope that the enhancement results in the suppression of the unwanted wave mode. Unlike these efforts, the suggested technique makes the complete cancellation of the unwanted wave mode but it is shown to enhance the desired first mode for torsional wave problems. In the present study, the synthetic phase tuning is developed for the cancellation of the unwanted wave mode, meaning that the number of necessary experimental equipments is reduced. Simulation and experiment were carried out to check the effectiveness of the proposed method. As an application of the suggested technique, we investigated the reflection and mode conversion characteristics of the first torsional mode according to the step thickness variation in a stepped pipe.

자성박막에 존재하는 자기구역의 형상 및 동력학은, 자성박막의 학문적 연구와 응용기술 개발의 핵심을 제공하는 매우 중요한 분야의 하나로서, 최근 크게 관심이 고조되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 차세대 광자기 재질로 각광받고 있는 Co/Pd 다층박막에서의 자기구역 형상 및 자기구역 동력학을 연구하였다. 전자빔 진공증착 시스템을 사용하여, Co 층의 두께와 Pd층의 두께, 그리고 전체 층수가 변화하는 일련의 Co/Pd 다층박막 시료를 제작하였다. 제작된 모든 시료가 명목두께에 대하여 4%의 정밀도로 제작되었음을 확인하였고, 제작된 시료의 자기 및 광자기 성질은 자기이력곡선 등을 측정하였다. 또한 고성능 광자기 Kerr 현미경 시스템을 이용하여 자성박막에 존재하는 자기구역의 형상 및 자기구역 동력학을 관찰하였다. 이 장비는 1,000배의 배율에서 0.3$\mu\textrm{m}$의 공간분해능을 가지며 실시간 자기구역 영상을 CCD 카메라를 통해 컴퓨터에 저장함으로써, 자지구역 거동현상을 관찰할 수 있다. 자성다층박막에 존재하는 자기구역의 형상을 이론적으로 예측하기 위하여, 다층박막 구조에서의 정자기 에너지를 일반적으로 계산할 수 있는 이론을 유도하였다. 이 이론을 통해 다층박막의 자성층의 두께가 두꺼워짐에 따라, 자기구역의 형상이 단일 자기구역 형상에서 줄무늬 자기구역 형상으로 천이함을 예측할 수 있었고, 이러한 지구구역 천이현상을 Co-Pd 다층박막의 자화역전현상을 연구하였고, 새로운 자구동력학 정량분석기술을 개발하여 Co/Pd 다층박막에 적용함으로써 자화역전의 자구벽 이동속도와 핵형성 확률을 각각 정량적으로 구하였다. 이러한 관찰 및 분석기술을 통하여, Co/Pd 다층박막의 층구조에 따라 대조적인 자화역전현상이 존재함을 관찰하였다. 이러한 대조적인 자화역전현상을 결정짓는 요인을 연구하기 위해서 나노자성학이온을 이용한 자화역전현상을 결정짓는 요인을 연구하기 위해서 나노자성학이온을 이용한 자화역전모델을 개발하였으며, 이를 통하여 자성박막의 거시적 자기성질에 의해 이러한 대조적인 자화역전모델을 개발하였으며, 이를 통하여 자성박막의 거시적 자기성지에 의해 이러한 대조적인 자화역전현상이 결정될 수 있음을 설명하였다. 또한, 미시적 자기이력곡선 측정을 통하여 자성박막구조에 따른 국소적인 구조불균일성을 관찰하였고, 이러한 구조불균일성 또한 대조적인 자화역전현상을 결정하는 큰 요인임을 논의하였다.

Several kinds of design method for the hairpin type band-pass filter have been reported. The conventional design methods have some restrictions in characteristic impedance of coupled line section, which provide complexities to designer. In this paper, the novel design formulas for the hairpin type band pass filter have been derived and proposed to resolve the problems of the reported design methods. By employing the equivalent circuit of the coupled line section and band pass filter design theory, the design procedures and formulas are derived. The hairpin type RX/TX band pass filters for the IMT-2000 service have been designed, fabricated with duplexer configuration, and then measured to show the validity of the proposed design method.

IT convergence technology is gradually becoming anthropocentric and evolving based on the low-carbon green growth. Augmented reality technique is a contents convergence technology that can mix virtual objects while maintaining a sense of the real world. For that reason, interaction between user and system is possible, can make various applications, and has a high possibility for expandability. To expand the scope of existing interaction, this paper suggests contextual UX-based augmented reality system. It is a system which creates virtual objects that respond to the changes in the real world environment, and users can directly apply their personal preferences to virtual objects. Also, several virtual objects can be registered all at once, and even shows animations corresponding to either day and night according to the brightness of illumination. As said, it improves user's satisfaction through a system of mixed usability, and leads to a continuous use of augmented reality contents.

This case study is based on a fundamental class actually done in the film and video department in Sungkyul University. It aimed at suggesting supportive role for typical film production class in universities in Korea. The list of film styles mentioned in this text is selected from the actual ones for the class and it is focused on utilization of sound and camera. It is ultimately designed to guide students to actual making films. First of all, for example, with a humble camcoder, students are encouraged to record both image and his/her narration which is directly recorded into the built-in microphone. Also directional microphone could be used to experience various positions of 'point-of-hearing'. Regarding camera movements, only distinctive ones out of typical utilization are selected to be dealt with. The movements created by moving vehicle such as dolly or crane beyond the limit of human ability could bring up high imagination of students on movement, besides this could be also easily applied to them for using hand-held technique instead of vehicle. This attitude acquired through the course is important for gettig over the resistance they might have before actual experiencing machinary use in production.

The demand for recognizing the color as well as the object shape is increasing to use the detailed information, because-the expense of color input/output devices become cheap. The research on the color correction should be researched for the exact color presentation and color reproduction of color input/output systems. In this paper, we researched on the color correction of color scanner. The characterization of color scanner is a two step process of gray-balancing and color transformation. The decoupling of the gray-balancing from the color transformation enables the portability of the scanner characterization. We used the least square methods for the line fitting and the Neural Network for the storage space and computation speed. The output of Neural Network is similar to the target value in three-dimensional tristimulus space. The proposed color correction method can be used for all scanners of a manufacturer's model because of the portability.

In this paper, we present a method for estimating of position and velocity of a moving target by using the range and the bearing measurements from multiple sensors of aiming unit. In many cases, conventional low cost gyro sensor and a portable laser range finder(LRF) degrade the accuracy of estimation. To enhance these problems, we propose two methods. The first is background image tracking and the other is principal component analysis (PCA). The background tracking is used to assist the low cost gyro censor. And the PCA is used to cope with the problems of a portable LRF. In this paper, we prove that our method is robust with respect to low-frequency, biased and noisy inputs. We also present a comparison between our method and the extended Kalman filter(EKF).

Vessel traffic system uses multiple sea surveillance radars as a primary sensor to obtain maritime traffic information like as ship's position, speed, course. The systematic errors such as the range bias and the azimuth bias of the two-dimensional radar system can significantly degrade the accuracy of the radar image and target tracking information. Therefore, the systematic errors of the radar system should be corrected precisely in order to provide the accurate target information in the vessel traffic system. In this paper, it is proposed that the method compensates the range bias and the azimuth bias using AtoN information installed at VTS coverage. The radar measurement residual error model is derived from the standard error model of two-dimensional radar measurements and the position information of AtoN, and then the linear Kalman filter is designed for estimation of the systematic errors of the radar system. The proposed method is validated via Monte-Carlo runs. Also, the convergence characteristics of the designed filter and the accuracy of the systematic error estimates according to the number of AtoN information are analyzed.
