Many failures in high voltage equipment are preceded by partial discharge activity. In this paper deals with the application of the high frequency partial discharge measurement technique in motorette. HFPD measurement is very effective method to detect the PD occurred in motorette which is the called name of test specimen for accelerating test of stator winding[1] In this study, CT type HFPD sensor is used to detect the partial discharges and a measured HFPD pattern is analyzed by fractal mathematics. The neural network algorithm is used to pattern recognition and ageing diagnosis. As a result of this study, the fractal dimensions are increased along to applied voltage and HFPD pattern recognition using neural network shown excellent recognition rate. Also, the ageing diagnosis of motorette has been Possible.

In this study, the stator form-winding sample coils based on silicone resin and polyimide were made for fault prediction and reliability estimation on the C-Class(200$\^{C}$ ) insulation system of traction motors. The complex accelerative degradation was periodically performed during 10 cycles, which was composed of thermal stress, fast rising surge voltage, vibration, water immersion and overvoltage applying. After aging of 10 cycles, the condition diagnosis test such as insulation resistance '||'&'||' polarization index, capacitance '||'&'||' dielectric loss and partial discharge properties were investigated in the temperature range of 20 ∼ 160$\^{C}$. Relationship among condition diagnosis tests was analyzed to find a dominative degradation factor and an insulation state at end-life point.

In this paper, stator form-winding sample coils based on silicone resin and polyimide were made for fault prediction and reliability estimation on the 200 Class insulation system of traction motors. The complex accelerative degradation was performed by periods during 10 cycles, which was composed of thermal stress, fast rising surge voltage, vibration, water immersion and overvoltage applying. After aging of 10 cycles, condition diagnosis test such as insulation resistance & polarization index, capacitance & dielectric loss and partial discharge properties were investigated in the temperature range of 20∼160$^{\circ}C$. Relationship among condition diagnosis test was analyzed to find an dominative degradation factor and an insulation state at end-life point.

Aging process can be characterized as a spontaneous decrease of function in various organs with age. Muscle, as a big organ of human body, undergoes aging process presenting with loss of muscle mass, "sarcopenia". Recently, several working groups have tried to make consensus about sarcopenia for definition and diagnosis. Muscle mass is known to be closely related with bone, brain, fat, cardiovascular and metabolic systems. With increased understanding, clinical and basic researches about sarcopenia have been also increased rapidly from various areas of health science and technology. In this paper, the history and recent concepts of sarcopenia were reviewed and brief discussion of its prospect in the field of neurosurgery was done.

This paper deals with a parameter estimation of the DC-DC converter system for its diagnosis. Especially, we present the results of parameter estimation for the DC-DC converter model by the system identification method. The parameter estimation for the DC-DC converter system aims at the diagnosis of its operating status. For the operating status diagnosis of the DC-DC converter system, we assume that the DC-DC converter system is an equivalent model of the Buck converter and estimate the main parameter for on-line diagnosis. In addition, for verification of an estimated parameter, we compare a bode plot of the estimated system transfer function and measurement results of the HP4194 instrument. It is a control system analyzer for system transfer function measurement. Our results confirm that the main parameter for diagnosis of the DC-DC converter system can be estimated by the system identification method and that the aging status of the system can be predicted by these results on operating status.

Objectives: The pulse diagnosis to identify the symptoms has been considered important in Korean medicine. The position and character of disease would be confirmed by pulse diagnosis of left and right radial artery. This paper is to analyze the characteristics and differences of left and right blood vessels. Methods: In this study, left and right radial artery and dorsalis pedis artery was measured and analyzed by using condenser typed pulse analyzer. Commercially available pulse analyzer was used to measure the radial artery. The pulse wave was measured in 20 laboratory healthy men and women. The blood vessel aging degree and index of augmentation of blood vessel was obtained from the measured pulse wave graph and the characteristics and differences of the left and right blood vessel was analyzed. Results: The significant difference of pulse transit time between the right handed and non-right handed was not found. The correlation of radial artery and dorsalis pedis artery had no significant difference. By obtaining the blood vessel aging index (AGI) and augmentation index (AI) of blood vessel at the left and right radial artery, the significant difference between right handed and non-right handed was not found. Conclusions: The result of this study would help to explain the characteristic of blood vessel with respect to the left and right handed. We suggest that research of pulse wave of the left and right blood vessel using pulse analyzer should be needed in further study.

IEC code based decision nile have been widely applied to detect incipient faults in power transformers. However, this method has a drawback to achieve the diagnosis with accuracy without experienced experts. In order to resolve this problem, we propose an artificial diagnosis algorithm to detect faults of power transformers using Self-Organizing Feature Map(SOM). The proposed method has two stages such as model construction and diagnostic procedure. First, faulty model is constructed by feature maps obtained by unsupervised learning for training data. And then, diagnosis is performed by compare feature map with it obtained for test data. Also the proposed method usぉms the possibility and degree of aging as well as the fault occurred in transformer by clustering and distance measure schemes. To demonstrate the validity of proposed method, various experiments are unformed and their results are presented.

Based on an analysis on the difference on the measurement sites and their relations to osteoporosis diagnosis and prevalence, this study attempts to investigate the patterns of prevalence in skeletal sites in the aging process. The samples were driven by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2008-2010) on Korean females (n = 4,449) aged from 50 to 89 years. The result shows that the differences on affected sites in the aging process were detected as follow: the osteoporosis prevalence in lumbar spine was relatively high in 50s, 60s and 70s; however, the prevalence in the proximal femur (total hip and femoral neck) was higher in 80s. In terms of the diagnosis identified in a single site, the prevalence in lumbar spine seemed to decrease as age increases; but, the rate went up in the figure of femoral neck. Overall, the osteoporosis prevalence for the diagnosis detected in multiple sites was increased as age goes up. In general, the increase in lumbar osteoporosis prevalence starts earlier than that of femoral neck. The findings of this study also suggests that if the proximal femur site is only used for diagnosing women age in 50s, 60s and 70s, the significant portion of osteoporosis patients could be misdiagnosed as normal.

The purpose of this experiment is to modify diagnosis criterion of isothermal relaxation current(IRC) measurement equipment which is using for distribution cable diagnosis. We're using this system for several years in the field instead of DC leakage current measurement and lots of cables were replaced. But we have to investigate on the reliability of this equipment for our cables because we didn't carried out condition assessment of extracted cables after field diagnosis by this equipment. It is important thing for cable maintenance. If the replacement criterion is improper we can not prevent failures or will waste budget on account of replacement of the sound cables. In this papar we selected field installed cables and injected silicone fluid to the cables for insulation rehabilitation. In order to prove reliability of the diagnosis equipment we compared diagnosis results and AC breakdown strength according to operating time after silicone treatment. This is the results of the field test for 1 year.
