금속판/형과스크린 계측기와 CCD 카메라를 이용한 방사선영상장치가 현재 전자포탈영상에 널리 쓰이고 있다. 이 장치의 효율적인 영상획득을 위해 계측효율이 좋고, 공간분해능력이 뛰어난 금속판/ 형과스크린 계측기의 두께를 최적화할 필요가 있었다. 이 논문에서는 금속판과 형광스크린의 두께가 계측효율과 공간분해능에 미치는 영향이 연구되었다. 이 결과는 치료 엑스선 영상장치에 쓰일 수 있는 금속판/형과스크린 계측기의 최적화된 두께를 결정하는데 쓰일 수 있다. 몬테칼로 방법을 이용하여 계산한6 MV 선형가속기에서 발생되는 엑시선의 에너지 스펙트럼을 바탕으로, 여러 가지 두께의 금속판/형광스크린에 대하여 계측효율과 공간분해능을 계산하였고, 이를 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 계측효율은 입사된 엑스선의 에너지가 형광스크린에 흡수된 비율로 계산되며, 공간분해능은 흡수된 에너지의 공간 분포를 통해 계산되었다. 계측효율은 금속판의 두께에 의해, 공간분해능은 형광스크린의 두께에 의해 결정될 수 있음을 본 연구를 통해 확인할 수 있었고, 이로써 특정이용에 관련된 금속판/형광스크린의 두께에 대한 서로 보상 (trade-off) 관계에 있음을 계산과 측정결과를 통해 확인할 수 있었고, 이로써 특정이용에 관련된 금속판/형광스크린 계측기의 최적화된 두께를 산출할 수 있게 되었다. 계산을 바탕으로 CCD를 이용한 전자포탈영상장치의 시작품을 설계 및 제작하였고 팬텀을 이용하여 영상을 얻었다. 단일 프레임 영상은 노이즈가 많으나, 프레임 평균 방법을 이용하여 영상의 질을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

This paper was studied on the cavitation instability of a Solution Pump Inducer in an absorption chiller-heater. Inlet pressure of LiBr and rotational speed at nominal mode are 2,800 Pa and 3,500 rpm respectively. Due to the marginal operation of available NPSH, the cavitation performance of the inducer is critical for the stable operation without the deterioration of head performance. In the study, cavitation performance and its mode of instability was investigated experimentally. Water was used as the working fluid and the test inducer was scaled up as 1.75 times for detail measurements and flow visualization. Inlet pressure was controlled by a vacuum pump. This research focused on types of cavitation instability and phenomena to investigate the possibility of harmful damage due to cavitation instability. Casing wall pressure and instantaneous inlet pressure was measured to observe the unsteady flow characteristics. Through the visualization and spectrum analysis of pressure, the occurrence region and intensity of asymmetric cavitation and cavitation surge are analyzed in the test inducer.

We realized optical logic gates using a bacteriorhodopsin (bR) doped polymer film. The bR undergoes a complex photocycle characterized by several spectroscopically distinct intermediate states. We realized optical logic gates using a He-Ne laser (632.8 nm) and a He-Cd laser (413 nm) that consider B-state and absorption change of M-state in the photocycle of bR. Also, we realized high speed AND logic gate using He-Ne laser (632.8 nm) and the second harmonics at 532 nm from a pulsed Nd-YAG laser that considering absorption spectrum between B-state and K-state.

When the X-ray energy is high, the X-ray penetrates the object and decrease the contrast of imaging, and when the X-ray energy is low, the X-ray increases the contrast of imaging but it is to be absorbed into the object, which in the long run increases patient's radiation exposure level. Therefore, appropriate X-ray energy is an essential element affecting the imaging quality and radiation exposure level. This study simulated the energy spectrums according to the target materials of mammography, and compared qualities of phantom imaging for the management of radiolographic quality and patient's radiation exposure level with the introduction of the mammography that employs diversified radiation quality by using new anode materials.

A photodiode array multichannel detector system for capillary electrophoresis was developed. The photodiode array detector for capillary electrophoresis (CE-PDA) has 1024 photodetectors and can analyze sample by measuring UV/VIS absorption spectrum in 275~675 nm wavelength range. The CE-PDA instrument can get a spectrum in 30 ms during sample separation and can be programmed by a PC to control various experimental conditions required for sample analysis. The performance of the multichannel CE-PDA instrument was tested using L-ascorbic acid and alizarin yellow GG mixture. The reproducibility test of the CE-PDA system showed 5.6% RSD.

Nd:YAG single crystal widely used as solid state laser was grown by Czochralski method. <111> single crystal with 0.9at% of $Nd^{3+}$ was grown from the Czochralski furnace with a automatic diameter control system. The vertical temperature gradient in the liquid was the major factor that influence the crystal quality, and the crystal diameter was controlled by the home made computer program. The crystal boule with $\phi$50mm$\times$ι100mm effective size was cut, polished, and antireflection coated. The optical evaluation such as absorption spectrum, fluorescence spectrum coincide with typical features of Nd:YAG single crystal. The laser rod was assembled into the CW laser generator with a Kr lamp. The maximum CW laser output was 70 W and the threshold power and efficiency was 1.3kW and 1.64% respectively.

We have successfully termed brown colored patterns inside of a transparent borosilicate glass generally known as BK7, laying the focus of near infrared Ti: sapphire femtosecond laser beam in the bulk BK7 glass. It is important to keep the laser power well below the damage threshold of BK7 in forming the color center. Thanks to the low laser power, there was no laser induced mechanical damage such as cracks or threads in the color formed area. From the absorbance spectrum and its gaussian fitting, we found the band gap of BK7, 4.21eV, and three absorption edges.

In this paper, the characteristics of shock behavior of multi-layered panels under impact were studied. The panels consist of four different lightweight materials including al, al-foam, rubber and FRP in order to enhance their shock energy absorption. A commercial code, Ls-dyna was used to build the numerical model and study shock behavior based on the analysis of shock response spectrum and peak response acceleration. The reliability of the numerical model was estimated by its comparison with the experimental results acquired under the same impact conditions.

In this paper, radiometric calibration of a FTIR spectrometer for passive remote sensing application was introduced and verified. Radiometric calibration is a significant signal processing procedure to retrieve the object radiance from the measured spectrum. The object radiance is measured and registered distorted by the detector's responsivity dependent on wavelength and instrument self-emission. Radiance of two temperature points, hot temperature and cold temperature, from a well-controlled blackbody was measured and used to obtain the scale factor and offset factor which are required for radiometric calibration. For gas phase C2H5OH. radiometric calibration was done and verified through comparison of its emission line width and intensity with the standard spectrum.

In this study, we composed algorithm of DIAL(Differential Absorption Lidar). we investigated the absorption spectrum of $O_3$, S $O_2$ and N $O_2$ dependent on wavelengths using data base UV-Bank and determine the optimized wavelength model. Here, the selected optimal wavelengths are 292.00(λ$_{on}$ ), 295.20(λ$_{off}$) for $O_3$, 299.38(λ$_{on}$ ), 300.05(λ$_{off}$) for S $O_2$ and 448.00(λ$_{on}$ ), 449.85(λ$_{off}$) for N $O_2$. In particular, we established the supposed model of DIAL and simulated the error of measuring distance using the selected optimal wavelength. In the model-I with telescope of 300 mm diameter, laser energy of 3 mJ and transmission of 10000 shots, maximum distances are 4 km for $O_3$ measurement and 5 km for S $O_2$ and N $O_2$ measurements. Also, in the model-II with telescope of 600 mm diameter, laser energy of 30 mJ and transmission of 10000 shots, maximum distances are 13 km for S $O_2$ and N $O_2$ measurements.ments.
