Statement of problem: A clinically successful color match is one of the important factor to get an esthetic dental restoration. Dental shade guides are commonly used to evaluate tooth color in restorative procedure. But numerous reports have indicated that common shade guides do not provide sufficient spectral coverage of the natural tooth colors. To address issues associated with the shade guide, distinct avenues have been pursued objective spectrophotometric / colorimetric assessment. Purpose: This study compared the accuracy of tooth color selection of spectrophotometer with that of human visual determination. Three main factors were investigated, namely, the effect of light, the individual variation and the experience of the observer. Material and methods: At the first experiment, on ten patients, one operator independently selected the best matching shade to the unrestored maxillary central incisor, using a Vita Classical Shade Guide in the morning, at noon and in the afternoon. The same teeth were measured by means of a reflectance spectrophotometer. At the second experiment, on ten patients, ten operators (5 experts, 5 novices) selected and measured by the same method above at noon. At the third experiment, the results of the second experiment were divided into two groups, expert and novice, and analyzed. Results: 1. There was significant difference between visual and spectrophotometric assessment (mean ${\Delta}E$ values) in experiment 1, 2, 3 (P < .05). 2. There was no significant difference between experts and novices group, when comparing with each visual and spectrophotometric assessment (mean ${\Delta}E$ values). Conclusion: Spectrophotometer could be used to analyze the shade of natural tooth objectively. Thereby, this method offers the potential tominimize considerably the need for corrections or even remakesafter intraoral try-in of restoration. Furthermore, to achieve its advantage, both the shade-matching environment and communication between dentist and technician should be optimized with use of visual and instrumental shade-matching systems.

최근 에너지 효율을 최적화하는 차세대 지능형 전력망인 스마트 그리드 시스템(Smart Grid System)이 국내외에 널리 보급되고 있다. 그로 인해 그리드 시스템의 효율적인 운영을 위해 적용되는 EMS(Energy Management System) 기술의 중요성이 커지고 있다. EMS는 에너지 사용량 예측의 높은 정확성이 요구되며, 예측이 정확하게 수행될수록 에너지의 활용성이 높아진다. 본 논문은 전력 사용량 예측의 정확성 향상을 위한 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 구체적으로, 먼저 사용량에 영향을 미치는 환경적인 요인들을 분석한다. 분석된 요인들을 적용하여 유사한 환경을 가지는 전력 사용량 데이터의 사전 군집화를 수행한다. 그리고 예측 일에 관련된 환경 정보와 가장 유사한 군집의 전력 사용량 데이터를 기반으로 전력 사용량을 예측한다. 제안하는 기법의 성능을 평가하기 위해, 다양한 실험을 통하여 일간 전력 사용량을 예측하고 그 정확성을 측정하였다. 결과적으로, 기존의 기법들과 비교했을 때, 최대 52.88% 향상된 전력 사용량 예측 정확성을 보였다.

One of the key technical challenges of wireless sensor network (WSN) is location management of sensor nodes. Typical node location management methods use GPS, ultrasonic sensors or RSSI. In this paper we propose a new location management method which adopts regression analysis of RSSI measurement to improve the accuracy of sensor node position estimation. We also evaluated the performance of proposed method by comparing the experimental results with existing scheme. According to the results, our proposed method, LM-RAR, shows better accuracy than existing location management scheme using RSSI and Friis' equation.

몇 가지 균열검출법 및 크기의 측정법에 대하여 개요, 문제점, 정량적 측정에 유의해야 할 점을 살펴보았다. 아직 어느 방법도 모든 균열에 적용할 만큼 완전한 방법은 없지만 적용범위와 유 의사항을 이해하고 측정대상에 맞는 방법을 올바로 적용한다면 목적에 부합하는 결과를 얻을 것으로 본다. 기기나 구조물의 파괴원인을 정확히 규명하고 잔존수명을 정확히 예측하여 파괴를 방지하려면 재료의 강도특성이나 파괴역학적 해석법의 연구에 못지 않게 비파괴적 균열검출법과 정량적 측정법에 관한 연구도 깊이 이루어져야 하리라 믿는다. 그러나 아직 우리나라에서는 이 점에 미흡함이 많다. 더 나은 측정방법을 고안해 내고, 측정장치를 개발하여 균열에 대한 정보 의 정확성을 높여 구조물의 안전성 평가의 신뢰성을 향상시킬 수 있는 연구가 활발히 진행되 어야 할 것이다.

As light-weight embedded devices become widely used in the area of low-power networking and high-precision sensor data acquisition, support for time-critical applications becomes essential for the light-weight embedded devices. This paper addresses the accuracy issue of a software timer for small or tiny embedded devices equiped with light-weight MCUs(Micro controller units). We first explore the characteristics of overhead in a typical implementation of a software timer, and then measure the overhead through a realistic implementation. Using the measurement result, we propose an overhead compensation technique which reduces the overhead from the hardware timer-tick.

In this paper, we describe a measurement technique for the backscattering coefficient and ground truth of a vegetation canopy in detail. A simple microwave backscattering model for vegetation canopies is verified by being compared with this measurement. An R-band$(1.7\sim2.0GHz)$ scatterometer system is used to measure the backscattering coefficient of a vegetated area in the Han-river park for various incidence angles and a wide range of the soil moisture contents. It is found that the model agrees quite well with the measurements for co-polarized radar backscatter, and needs a correction for cross polarized radar backscatter.

Locations of positioned nodes as well as gathered data from nodes are very important because generally multiple nodes are deployed randomly and data are gathered in wireless sensor network. Since the nodes composing wireless sensor network are low cost and low performance devices, it is very difficult to add specially designed devices for positioning into the nodes. Therefore in wireless sensor network, technology positioning nodes precisely using low cost is very important and valuable. This research proposes Cooperative Positioning System, which raises accuracy of location positioning and also can find positions on multiple sensors within limited times. And this research verifies this technology is excellent in terms of performance, accuracy, and scalability through simulation.

The Radiative Transfer Model(RTM) for computation of microwave polarimetric backscattering coefficients of a various types of vegitation canopies has been examined in this paper. Leaves in the vegitation canopy are modeled by rectangular resistive sheets, which sizes and orientations are randomly distributed. Surface roughness and soil moisture of soil surface are considered in this computation. The backscattering coefficients of grasslands are computed for various values of radar parameters and canopy parameters. A polarimetric scatterometer radar system at 15 GHz has been used for measurement of the scattering coefficient from a grass canopy and a cabbage canopy. The computation results obtained by the RTM for the canopies are compared with the measurement for examination of the RTM.
