Celgard and Durapore membranes were plasma-treated to enhance the hydrophobicity and durability to amine solution. The plasma gases or vapors used were $CF_4$, Hexafluorobenzene(HFP), Pentafluoropyridine(PFP) and Hexamethyldisiloxane(HMDS). The surface structure of plasma treated membranes was analyzed by FT-IR spectra. The contact angles of plasma treated Celgard and Durapore were dependent of the plasma gases used. $CF_4$ and HMDS plasma increased the contact angles of Celgard and Durapore, while HFB and PFP plasma decreased the contact angles. Durability to monoethanolamine(MEA) solution was enhanced for $CF_4$ plasma-treated Durapore, while the durability was not good for plasma-treated Celgard.

For the reduction of common-mode noise level in Indirect-contact ECG (IDC-ECG) measurement a driven-right-leg grounding method was a lied to the IDC-ECG. Because the IDC-ECG does not require any direct contact between the electrodes and the human skin. it is adequate for un-constraining long-term ECG measurement at home and its various applications are now under development. However, larger 60 Hz noise induced by power line a ears in IDC-BCG than in conventional ECG, that is a restriction of IDC-ECG a application. In this study, the driven-right-leg ground which has been used in conventional direct-contact ECG, was adapted to the IDC-ECG measurement by feedback of the inversion of amplified common-mode noise to the body through the conductive fertile laid on the chair seat By this study, indirect-contact driven-right-leg ground was developed and it was shown to work stably. It was shown that the level of 60Hz power line noise was reduced to about -40 dB when the driven-right-leg gain was 1000. This study shows that we can extend the upper limit of the frequency band of IDC-ECG to 100Hz from 30Hz which is conventional upper limit in IDC-ECG, and we can raise the ground impedance between the body and conductive textile. So it is expected that the application area of the IDC-ECG will be extended by the results of this study.

Numerical simulation and experiments were carried out on the absorption of carbon dioxide using PVDF hollow-fiber membrane contactor. Water or monoethanolamine (MEA) aqueous soluton was used as absorbents. Simulation results showed that the concentration profile of carbon dioxide was less affected by the flow rate of MEA than that of water absorbent. The absorption rate and mass transfer coefficient of carbon dioxide increased as the concentration of MEA increased. The mass transfer coefficients obtained by experiments coincided with those obtained by numerical simulation and theoretical results for $CO_2-water$ system. However, for $CO_2-MEA$ system, the mass transfer coefficients obtained by experiments were lower than those obtained by simulation, while the simulation results agreed well with theoretical results. The durability of plasma-treated hollow fiber membranes was better than that of no plasma-treated ones.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mobility and ratio of the bone-implant contact (BIC) of a sandblasted, large grit and acid-etched (SLA) orthodontic micro-implant. Methods: Ninety-six micro-implants (48 SLA and 48 machined) were implanted in the upper and lower buccal alveolar bone, and palatal bone of four beagle dogs. Two weeks after surgery, orthodontic force (150-200 g) was applied. Two beagles were sacrificed at 4-weeks and the other two at 12-weeks. Histomorphometric comparisons were made between the SLA experimental group and the machined micro-implant as a control group to determine the ratio of contact between the bone and implant. Micro-implant mobility was also evaluated using $Periotest^{(R)}$. Results: Periotest values showed no statistically significant difference in the upper alveolar and palatal bone between groups except for the lower buccal area. BIC in the upper buccal area showed no significant difference between groups both at 4-weeks and 12-weeks. However, both the groups showed a significant difference in BIC ratio in the rest of the experimental areas between 4 weeks and 12 weeks. The experimental group showed active bone remodeling around the bone-implant interface compared to the control group. Conclusions: There were significant differences in the BIC and the Periotest values between the surface-treated and machined micro-implants according to bone quality in the early stage.

A domain/boundary decomposition method is applied for efficient analyses of thermo-elasto-viscoplastic damage and contact problems under the assumption of infinitesimal deformation. For the decomposition of a whole domain and contact boundaries, all the equality constraints on the interface and contact interfaces are restated with simple penalty functional. Therefore, the non-linearity of the problem is localized within finite element matrices in a few subdomains and on contact interfaces. By setting up suitable solution algorithms, the computational efficiency can be improved considerably. The general tendency of the computational efficiency is illustrated with some numerical experiments.

전류밀도를 $1.0\;A/dm^2{\ell}$로 고정시키고, 촉매로 사용된 소금의 농도를 전체 폐수량의 약 15%로 조절하여 접촉시간을 $0\;{\sim}\;120$ 분으로 조절하여 각각의 시간에서 $COD_{Mn}$ 농도 약 70mg/L의 합성폐수를 전기분해 처리하여 접촉시간 약 30분에서 약 25 mg/L로 제거 되었으며, 60분이 지난 후부터 약 12 mg/L로 제거되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 접촉시간을 1 시간으로 고정시키고, 촉매로 사용된 소금의 농도를 전체 폐수량의 약 15%로 조절하여 전류밀도를 $0\;{\sim}\;2.0\;A/dm^2{\ell}$로 조절하여 각각의 전류밀도에서 $COD_{Mn}$의 농도변화 실험결과 전류밀도 약 1.0 $A/dm^2{\ell}$에서 약 9 mg/L로 제거가 가능한 것으로 조사 되었다. 접촉시간을 1 시간, 전류밀도를 $1.0A/dm^2{\ell}$로 고정시키고 사용된 소금의 농도를 전체 폐수량의 $0\;{\sim}\;30\;%$로 조절하여 각각의 촉매 첨가율에서 $COD_{Mn}$의 농도변화를 조사결과 촉매 첨가율 30 %에서 가장 높은 처리효율을 나타내었으며, 촉매의 첨가에 의한 전기분해 효율뿐만이 아니라 직류전원공급기에 전기적 부하 또한 감소되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

As the COVID-19 pandemic hits the world, the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 will be held behind closed doors. Some broadcasters showed the heart rate of the players in real time using image processing-based non-contact measurement to convey the vividness of the scene on TV. However, since the non-contact model uses changes in the skin color of the players' faces according to blood circulation as a parameter, there is a possibility that errors may occur due to interference factors such as natural light or glasses. Therefore, in this paper, the non-contact heart rate measurement model and the contact heart rate measurement model are tested in an environment free from interference and their accuracy is analyzed.

본 논문은 마이크로 유체 소자의 소재로서 많이 쓰이고 있는 poly(dimethyl-siloxane) (PDMS)의 친수성 유지를 위한 표면 개질에 대한 연구이다. PDMS는 유연성, 투명성 등의 다양한 장점을 가지고 있으나, 높은 소수성으로 인하여 유체 소자로의 응용에 제한을 갖는다. 기존 연구에서 수행한 산소 플라즈마 후 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) 처리에 의한 PDMS의 표면 개질은 친수성 유지 시간에 한계가 있었다. 이에 친수성 유지 시간을 증가시키기 위하여 경화된 PDMS에 두 시간의 오존 처리 후, 6시간 동안 monomethyl ether hydroquinone (MEHQ)가 제거된 HEMA로 표면을 개질한다. 표면 처리된 PDMS의 친수성 특성을 확인하기 위해 접촉각을 측정하였다. 측정 결과, 오존을 이용하였을 때 $60^{\circ}$ 이하의 낮은 접촉각이 900시간 이상 유지됨을 확인하였다.

본 글에서는 인체로부터 생체전기신호를 측정하고 처리 및 해석하는 기술을 소개한다. 일반적인 계측 시스템을 구성하는 필수적인 네 가지 요소는 측정대상, 센서부, 신호처리부, 그리고 출력부이다. 생체전기신호의 측정에서 측정대상은 인체를 포함하는 생명체이다. 경우에 따라서는 생명체로부터 떼어 낸 특정 부위가 측정대상이 될 수도 있으나 본 글에서는 살아 있는 인체를 측정대상으로 설정하기로 한다. 또한 인체로부터 방사되는 에너지를 측정하는 비접촉 방식은 다루지 않고, 측정 부위를 인체의 내부 또는 표면으로 제한한다. 즉, 센서를 측정 부위에 직접 부착하는 접촉형 인체-센서 인터페이스 방법을 사용하는 경우만을 다루기로 한다.(중략)

대기압 글로우 플라즈마를 이용하여 반도체 리드프레임(Alloy 42) 도금 전처리 습식 공정을 건식으로 대체하였다. 13.56 MHz의 RF 전원을 사용하여 300 W 파워에서 안정적인 대기압 글로우 플라즈마를 발생시켰으며, 금속 리드프레임에 플라즈마가 직접 접촉해도 아크나 스트리머 발생이 없었다. 플라즈마 소스 가스로는 알곤(Ar)을 사용하였으며, 활성가스로 산소($O_2$)를 첨가하였다. 300 W 파워에서 산소를 50 sccm 공급하고 100 mm/sec 속도로 리드프레임을 처리한 결과, 처리 전 접촉각이 $82^{\circ}$에서 처리 후 $10^{\circ}$ 이하로 낮아졌다. 플라즈마 처리 후 리드프레임 표면 거칠기 변화를 AFM으로 측정하였다.
