The daytime and nighttime sea surface temperature (SST) differences and their seasonal variabilities in the East Sea were studied using Argos drifters data during 1996~1999. The SST differences for 1,438 data set were derived from 30 Argos drifters related to the NOAA satellite-based location and data collection system. The horizontal variation of SST differences in summer in the East Sea were higher than those in winter. The relationship between the SST differences and the half day moving distances of Argos drifters was studied. Monthly SST difference in the northern and southern part of 38$^{\circ}$N in the East Sea was considered. The SST differences derived from NOAA-14 satellite were compared with those from Argos drifter between daytime and nighttime in the turbulent eddy off Wonsan coast of Korea.

A simple 2D gaze tracking method using single camera and Purkinje image is proposed. This method employs single camera with infrared filter to capture one eye and two infrared light sources to make reflection points for estimating corresponding gaze point on the screen from user's eyes. Single camera, infrared light sources and user's head can be slightly moved. Thus, it renders simple and flexible system without using any inconvenient fixed equipments or assuming fixed head. The system also includes a simple and accurate personal calibration procedure. Before using the system, each user only has to stare at two target points for a few seconds so that the system can initiate user's individual factors of estimating algorithm. The proposed system has been developed to work in real-time providing over 10 frames per second with XGA $(1024{\times}768)$ resolution. The test results of nine objects of three subjects show that the system is achieving an average estimation error less than I degree.

Objective : This study was undertaken to analysis gamma knife radiosurgery(GKR) effect for trigeminal neuralgia after long term follow-up. Methods : There were 11 trigeminal neuralgia patients. The authors irradiated 67-85 Gy maximally to the nerve root entry zone(NREZ) using single 4mm collimator, just 1-6mm lateral side from the junction of the trigeminal nerve and pons. For the first 3 cases, we targeted the junction between the nerve and the pons. In theses cases, the pons was irradiated 56 or 60 gray in the surface. In the later 8 cases, the isocenter is positioned more distal side so that the brain stem surface would receive less than the 20% isodose. Results : The average follow-up duration was 25 months(13-50 months). Pain relief was noticed within a week to 5 months. In 3 patients, pain was relieved completely and in other 3 patients, mark improvement was achieved(80-90%). Remaining 4 patients showed significant improvement(30-50%). There was recurrence in only one case and she complained with similar intensity of pain at the last follow-up. There was no significant complication related to GKR. Conclusion : GKR is considered effective for trigeminal neuralgia based on the long term follow-up evaluation, but more clinical experience is needed to evaluate the efficacy of GKR for trigeminal neuralgia as a primary treatment modality.

가상현실 시스템에서의 가장 기본적인 상호작용은 사용자가 원하는 위치와 방향으로 시야를 이동하는 네비게이션이다. 기존의 관련 연구들은 가상환경 네비게이션의 고전적인 문제인 'lost-in-cyberspace'에 대한 명확한 해결책을 제시하지 못하고 있다. 또한, 직관적이고 사용방법이 쉬운 상호작용에 대한 연구가 충분히 이루어지지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 증강현실 기반의 감각형 오브젝트를 이용한 네비게이션 인터페이스 시스템과, 사용자의 컨텍스트를 활용한 네비게이션 방법을 제안한다. 테이블의 표면에는 프로젝터를 이용한 후면 영사를 통해 가상환경의 지도와 사용자를 위한 네비게이션 정보가 보여진다. 사용자는 테이블 공간에서 카메라를 이용해 추적되는 감각형 오브젝트를 조작함으로써 가상환경을 네비게이션 할 수 있다. 또한, 사용자의 관심 지역 및 가상공간의 중요 지역 등의 컨텍스트는 사용자의 간단한 오브젝트 조작 정보와 결합되어 이동 경로 생성에 이용된다. 제안된 시스템은 본 연구실에서 제작된 Responsive Multimedia System (RMS) 의 인터페이스 시스템으로 연동되어 실험을 수행하였다. 제안된 시스템 및 네비게이션 기법은 사용자에게 전체 가상환경에 대한 인지력을 향상시키고, 직관적인 인터페이스를 제공하며, 최소한의 조작으로 만족스러운 네비게이션을 제공한다.

Recently, there have been efforts to construct hybrids among the existing methodologies for multiphase flow such as VOF, Level Set, and Front Tracking with the intention of facilitating simulations of general three-dimensional problems. As one of the hybrid method, we have developed the Level Contour Reconstruction Method (LCRM) for general three-dimensional multiphase flows including phase change. The main idea was focused on simplicity and a robust algorithm especially for the three-dimensional case. It combines characteristics of both Front Tracking and Level Set methods. While retaining an explicitly tracked interface using interfacial elements, the calculation of a vector distance function plays a crucial role in the periodic reconstruction of the interface elements in the LCRM method to maintain excellent mass conservation and interface fidelity. In addition, compact curvature formulation is incorporated for the calculation of the surface tension force thereby reducing parasitic currents to a negligible level.

A small-scale solar collector and tracking system, using a Fresnel lens of $0.5m^2$, and novel compact fluidized-bed solar receiver[FBR] of closed type has been developed for high temperature solar gas heating. The FBR was improved in carrying over of SiC powder and thermo-siphon effect. The maximum outlet air temperature of 1140K and the maximum thermal efficiency of 64% were obtained. The present FBR's operated efficiently at extremely high temperatures in comparison with conventional solar receivers, composed of flat or tubular solid surfaces.

In this paper, we intend to introduce a nonlinear finite element method based on the fully nonlinear potential flow theory in order to simulate the large amplitude sloshing flow in two-dimensional baffled tank subject to horizontally forced excitation. The free surface is tracked by a direct time differentiation scheme with the four-step predictor-corrector time integration method. The flow velocity is accurately recovered from the velocity potential by second-order least square method. In order to maintain the finite element mesh regularity and total mass, the semi-Lagrangian surface tracking method with area conservation is applied. According to the numerical formulae, we perform the parametric experiments by varying the installation height and the opening width of baffles, in order to examine the effects of baffle on the nonlinear liquid sloshing. From the numerical results, the hydrodynamic characteristics of the large amplitude sloshing are investigated.

Optical coherence tomography(OCT) can provide real-time and non-invasive subsurface imaging with ultra-high resolution of micrometer scale. However, conventional OCT systems generally have a limited imaging depth range within a depth of only 1-2 mm. To overcome the limitation, we have proposed an active surface tracking algorithm used in common-path Fourier-domain OCT system in order to extend the imaging depth range. The surface tracking algorithm based on the threshold and Savitzky-Golay filter of A-scan data was applied to real-time tracking. The algorithm has controlled a moving stage according to the sample's surface variance in real time. An OCT image obtained by the algorithm clearly show an extended imaging depth range. Consequently, the proposed algorithm demonstrated the potential for improving the conventional OCT systems with limitary depth range.

This paper presents some real performance of two typical bilateral teleoperation benchmark tasks: peg-in-hole and surface tracking tasks. The tasks are performed by an energy-bounding algorithm in the master control and position-based impedance algorithm in the slave control. Performance is analyzed for the position-force tracking capabilities from free space motion to surface contacting motion. In addition, preliminary user performance is evaluated by measuring the completion time and maximum/average contact forces. The quality of the measured performance is also compared with that of other existing approaches.

이동체 탑재형 안테나는 특성상 소형화 및 신호 추적 시간 단축이 중요한 요소이다. 이러한 특성은 위상변위기를 이용한 전자적인 빔 조향 방식으로 한층 더 보완할 수 있다. 현재 이동체에서 주로 사용되고 있는 DBS (Direct Broadcasting Satellite) 수신용 안테나는 패치 및 슬롯 형태의 안테나 소자를 배열하여 사용한다. 하지만 이러한 안테나 소자는 전방위각에 대해 인공위성 방향(앙각 45도)에서 이득 손실이 있기 때문에 위상변위기를 이용한 빔 조향 방식에서 사용하기에는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 모든 방위각에 대해 앙각 45도에서 최대 이득 특성을 갖는 안테나 소자를 이용해 이득 손실을 줄이는 것은 큰 의미가 있다. 본 논문에서는 monopole 주변에 PBG(Photonic Band Gap) 구조를 구현함으로써 표면파를 억제하여 앙각 45도 방향에서 최대 이득 특성을 보이는 안테나 소자를 제안한다.
