The solidification sequence and formation of intermetallic phase of Fe-rich Al-Si-Cu alloy were investigated by using real-time imaging of synchrotron X-ray radiation. Effects of cooling rate during uni-directional solidification on the resultant solidification behavior was also studied in a specially constructed vacuum chamber in the SPring-8 facility. The series of radiographic images were complementarily analyzed with conventional analysis of OM and SEM/EDX for phase identification. Detailed solidification sequence and formation mechanisms of various phases were discussed based on real-time image analysis. The growth rates of $\alpha$-AlFeMnSi and ${\beta}-Al_5FeSi$ were measured in order to understand the growth behavior of each phase. It is suggested that real-time imaging technique can be a powerful tool for the precise understanding of solidification behavior of various industrial materials.

고주파수, 고해상도 초음파 영상을 획득하기 위해서는 고주파수 초음파 변환기가 가지는 작은 구경에 따른 낮은 민감도와 침투 깊이에 따른 높은 감쇠량을 극복하여야 한다. 이는 고주파수 초음파 변환기의 본질적인 한계점이므로 수신 시스템을 통하여 그 한계점을 극복하여야 한다. 본 논문은 고주파수, 고해상도 초음파 영상을 위하여 고주파수 초음파 변환기의 본질적인 한계인 낮은 민감도와 높은 감쇠량을 극복할 수 있는 저잡음 광대역 수신 시스템 개발과 특성 평가 결과에 관한 것이다. 개발한 저잡음 광대역 수신 시스템은 80 MHz 이상의 동작 주파수 대역에서 최대 73 dB의 증폭 이득과 48 dB의 가변 이득 범위를 만족하며 ${\pm}1dB$의 증폭 이득 평탄도 성능을 가진다. 또한 개발한 수신 시스템은 상용 리시버에 비하여 8.4 dB 이상의 신호대잡음비 성능과 3.7 dB 이상의 대조도 성능이 우수함을 확인하였다.

Holography is a human-friendly technology that can express 3D stereoscopic information without eye fatigue. You can experience the mysterious features of light directly and indirectly, and you can also experience the principles of 3D imaging, which makes it a very good curriculum. As such, although holography is very effective in teaching students optics and 3D imaging technology, it has not yet been systematically established. The reason is the cost burden such as expensive equipment and laboratories, and the lack of easily accessible educational equipment. We implemented a portable holographic recording system to solve this problem. In addition, since silver halides, which use harmful chemicals, are not used in the process of developing the recording medium, and photopolymers are used, it is possible to educate not only the general public but also young students. In order to improve the completeness of the recorded result, the mechanism part, light source, and recording medium part of the production system were newly constructed to complement all the existing problems. The proposed system will make holography easily accessible to many people in a variety of fields, not just education. Through the interesting experience of various features and principles of light and the production of holograms with high satisfaction, we hope to popularize them in various fields such as education.

강원도 삼척시 도계읍 늑구리 남풍갱 부근의 채굴 공동에 의한 지반침하 지역에서 지하구조를 영상화하고자 3차원 탄성파 탐사를 실시하였다. 자료획득에는 Full range 3D 배열을 적용하였고, 자료처리 시 속도분석은 상속도 중하단면을 이용하였으며 정보정은 공통 발파점 및 공통 수진점에 따라 중합한 결과를 토대로 발파점 및 수진점 보정량을 추출, 적용하였다. 남풍갱 지역의 지반침하 양상을 가장 특성있게 표현하는 측선을 선정, 중합단면을 검토한 결과 침하에 의한 전반적인 지반붕괴의 양상을 확인하였다. 데이터의 질이 불량하여 공동의 경계, 크기 등 공동의 기하학적인 정보를 추출하기 위해서 전처리 및 보다 정밀한 속도 분석 및 정보정이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

In this paper, we demonstrate the current concepts in holographic tomography (HT) realized within limited angular range with illumination scanning. The presented solutions are based on the work performed at Warsaw University of Technology in Poland and put in context with the state of the art in HT. Along with the theoretical framework for HT, the optimum reconstruction process and data visualization are described in detail. The paper is concluded with the description of hardware configuration and the visualization of tomographic reconstruction, which is calculated using a provided processing path.

We conducted thermal analyses and cooling tests of the space observation camera (SOC) of the multi-purpose infrared imaging system (MIRIS) to verify passive cooling. The thermal analyses were conducted with NX 7.0 TMG for two cases of attitude of the MIRIS: for the worst hot case and normal case. Through the thermal analyses of the flight model, it was found that even in the worst case the telescope could be cooled to less than $206^{\circ}K$. This is similar to the results of the passive cooling test (${\sim}200.2^{\circ}K$). For the normal attitude case of the analysis, on the other hand, the SOC telescope was cooled to about $160^{\circ}K$ in 10 days. Based on the results of these analyses and the test, it was determined that the telescope of the MIRIS SOC could be successfully cooled to below $200^{\circ}K$ with passive cooling. The SOC is, therefore, expected to have optimal performance under cooled conditions in orbit.

For prompt gamma ray imaging for biomedical applications and environmental radiation monitoring, we propose herein a multiple-scattering Compton camera (MSCC). MSCC consists of three or more semiconductor layers with good energy resolution, and has potential for simultaneous detection and differentiation of multiple radio-isotopes based on the measured energies, as well as three-dimensional (3D) imaging of the radio-isotope distribution. In this study, we developed an analytic simulator and a 3D image generator for a MSCC, including the physical models of the radiation source emission and detection processes that can be utilized for geometry and performance prediction prior to the construction of a real system. The analytic simulator for a MSCC records coincidence detections of successive interactions in multiple detector layers. In the successive interaction processes, the emission direction of the incident gamma ray, the scattering angle, and the changed traveling path after the Compton scattering interaction in each detector, were determined by a conical surface uniform random number generator (RNG), and by a Klein-Nishina RNG. The 3D image generator has two functions: the recovery of the initial source energy spectrum and the 3D spatial distribution of the source. We evaluated the analytic simulator and image generator with two different energetic point radiation sources (Cs-137 and Co-60) and with an MSCC comprising three detector layers. The recovered initial energies of the incident radiations were well differentiated from the generated MSCC events. Correspondingly, we could obtain a multi-tracer image that combined the two differentiated images. The developed analytic simulator in this study emulated the randomness of the detection process of a multiple-scattering Compton camera, including the inherent degradation factors of the detectors, such as the limited spatial and energy resolutions. The Doppler-broadening effect owing to the momentum distribution of electrons in Compton scattering was not considered in the detection process because most interested isotopes for biomedical and environmental applications have high energies that are less sensitive to Doppler broadening. The analytic simulator and image generator for MSCC can be utilized to determine the optimal geometrical parameters, such as the distances between detectors and detector size, thus affecting the imaging performance of the Compton camera prior to the development of a real system.

This paper presents a variable gain amplifier (VGA) for an analog front-end (AFE) of ultrasound medical imaging. This VGA has a closed-loop topology and shows a 37-dB-linear characteristic with a single-stage amplifier. It consists of an op-amp, a non-binary-weighted capacitor array, and a gain-control block. This non-binary-weighted capacitor array reduces the required number of capacitors and the complexity of the gain-control block. The VGA has been fabricated in a 0.35-mm CMOS process. This work gives the largest gain range of 37 dB per stage, the largest P1 dB of 9.5 dBm at the 3.3-V among the recent VGA circuits available in the literature. The voltage gain is controlled in the range of [-10, 27] dB in a linear-in-dB scale with 16 steps by a 4-bit digital code. The VGA has a bandpass characteristic with a passband of [20 kHz, 8 MHz].
