The conventional IGBT has two problems to make the device taking high performance. The one is high on state voltage drop associated with JFET region, the other is low breakdown voltage associated with concentrating the electric field on the junction of between p base and n drift. This paper is about the structure to effectively improve both the lower on state voltage drop and the higher breakdown voltage than the conventional IGBT. For the fabrication of the circular trench IGBT with the circular trench layer, it is necessary to perform the only one wet oxidation step for the circular trench layer. Analysis on both the on state voltage drop and the Breakdown voltage show the improved values compared to the conventional IGBT structure. Because the circular trench layer disperses electric field from p base and n drift junction to circular trench, the breakdown voltage increase. The on state voltage drop decrease due to reduction of JFET region and direction change of current path which pass through reversed layer channel.

In this paper, the downlink performance of multi-cell distributed antenna systems (DAS) with a single user in each cell is investigated. Assuming the channel state information is available at the transmitter, four transmission modes are formulated as combinations of remote antenna units (RAUs) selection and cooperative transmission, namely, non-cooperative transmission without RAU selection (NCT), cooperative transmission without RAU selection (CT), non-cooperative transmission with RAU selection (NCT_RAUS), and cooperative transmission with RAU selection (CT_RAUS). By using probability theory, the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a user's signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and the system ergodic capacity under the above four modes are determined, and their closed-form expressions are obtained. Furthermore, the system energy efficiency (EE) is studied by introducing a realistic power consumption model of DAS. An expression for determining EE is formulated, and the closed-form tradeoff relationship between spectral efficiency (SE) and EE is derived as well. Simulation results demonstrate their consistency with the theoretical analysis and reveal the factors constraining system EE, which provide a scientific basis for future design and optimization of DAS.

2차원의 영상을 이용한 돌출형 전립선 비대증의 부피 평가방법에서 돌출부위를 포함시킬 경우와 포함시키지 않을 경우의 부피변화를 3차원 볼륨 렌더링(volume rendering, VR)을 이용하여 비교 평가하고자 한다. 돌출형 전립선 부피측정을 위한 가상 전립선 모델은 곤약을 이용해 임의로 평균 1 cm 정도로 돌출되도록 하여 10 ml에서 각각 10 ml씩 부피를 변화시켜 100 ml까지 총 10 개의 모델을 제작하였다. 이 때 제작된 모델의 부피측정은 64 channel 전산화단층촬영(computed tomography, CT)과 3.0 Tesla 자기공명영상(magnetic resonance image, MRI)을 이용하여 획득된 3차원 볼륨 영상자료로 계측하였다. 산출한 CT와 MRI영상들의 3차원 볼륨데이터 근접성 평가를 위해 wilcoxon 부호순위(signed rank) 검정을 하였다. 또한 획득한 영상자료는 3차원 영상처리를 통하여 볼륨 렌더링으로 재구성한 후 타원체부피공식법을 이용하여 돌출부위를 포함시킬 때와 포함하지 않을 때의 부피를 구하였다. 이 때 돌출 유무에 따라 각각 측정된 부피와 3차원 볼륨 렌더링의 부피를 wilcoxon 부호순위(signed rank) 검정을 사용하여 유의성을 평가했으며 상관계수(pearson's correlation coefficient, r)를 사용하여 상관관계를 분석하였다. 계측된 가상 전립선 모델의 돌출부위길이는 CT에서 $0.90{\pm}0.18\;mm$, MRI에서 $0.75{\pm}0.11\;mm$이었으며, CT와 MRI에서 계측된 3차원 영상 부피의 p-value는 0.414로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 그러나 MRI에서 측정된 3차원 영상 부피와 2차원 영상에서 돌출부위를 포함시킬 때의 p-value는 0.005인 반면 포함하지 않을 때의 p-value는 0.139로 나타났으며, CT에서도 측정된 3차원 영상 부피와 2차원 영상에서 돌출부위를 포함시킬 때의 p-value는 0.005인 반면 포함하지 않을 때의 p-value는 0.057로 나타났다. 돌출형 전립선의 부피측정은 돌출부위를 제외하고 상하길이를 측정하는 것이 3차원 볼륨 렌더링에 의한 부피 값과 더 가까운 부피 값을 얻을 수 있었다.

Disinfection is a basic and effective microorganism inactivation method and historically contributed a decrease in waterborne diseases. To guarantee the disinfection ability, improving T in CT value is important. Many indexes are used to estimate the hydraulic efficiency, however, these are black-box analysis. Therefore it is need to develope new estimation method. In this study, internal short-circuiting estimation method (ISEM) is developed using CFD and we inquire into the factor which causes increase of $T_{10}/T$ value as LW ratio increases. And the effect of shape on the relation of LW ratio and $T_{10}/T$ is analyzed. As LW ratio increases, internal short-circuiting index (ISI) of influent and effluent zone is rapidly reduced and recirculation and dead zone are reduced in channel zone. Therefore, as the $T_{10}/T$ value converges maximum value, ISI curve is changed from "V" shape to "U" shape and hydraulic efficiency is improved especially in downstream portion of clearwell. The less the shape ratio(width/length of clearwell) is the less the $T_{10}/T$ value is at a same LW ratio because the portion of turning zone increases as shape ration decreases, therefore more boundary separation is generated.

Purpose: Currently, using perforator artery flaps especially anterolateral thigh flaps are widely used for reconstruction of extremities, head and neck. Obtaining a precise anatomical picture prior to operation will translate to a more accurate, efficient and safe procedure. Authors used 3D-image work up via 64-slice MDCT to make a more precise preoperative plan. Methods: A total of 10 patients underwent soft tissue reconstruction with anterolateral thigh flap from December 2006 to December 2007. The 64-Channel MDCT (LightSpeed VCT, GE, USA) was used and 3D images were reconstructed. Findings from MDCT were applied to the preoperative planning and confirmed with intraoperative findings. Results: The average number of perforator arteries from lateral circumflex femoral artery was 2. The average lengths of vascular pedicle from the origin of lateral circumflex femoral artery to the first and second perforator artery were 11.0 cm and 20.0 cm, respectively. The average diameter of the pedicle artery was 2.2 mm. The locations of the perforator arteries were mapped and localized on the body surface based on the MDCT result. These were confirmed through direct visualization intraoperatively. Conclusion: MDCT has an advantage of obtaining accurate images of the general anatomy and even fine structures like perforator arteries. By using this state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging technique, it is now possible to make an operative plan safely and easily.

The purpose of this study was to develop an assist device that could correct and support patient position during biopsy on computed tomography (CT) using 3D printing technology. The development method was conducted in the order of 3D design, 3D output, intermediate evaluation for product, final assist device evaluation. The 3D design method was conducted in the order of prior research data survey, measurement, primary modeling, 3D printing, output evaluation, and supplementary modeling. The 3D output was the 3D printer (3DWOX 2X, Sindoh, Korea) with additive manufacturing technology and the polylactic acid (PLA) materials. At this time, the optimal strength was evaluated to infill degree of product as the 3D printing factors into 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80%. The intermediate evaluation and supplementation was measured noise in the region of interest (ROI) around the beam hardening artifact on the CT images. We used 128-channel MDCT (Discovery 75 HD, GE, USA) to scan with a slice thickness of 100 kVp, 150 mA, and 2.5 mm on the 3D printing product. We compared the surrounding noise of the final 3D printing product with the beginning of it. and then the strength of it according to the degree of infill was evaluated. As a result, the surrounding noise of the final and the early devices were measured at an average of 3.3 ± 0.5 HU and 7.1 ± 0.1 HU, respectively, which significantly reduced the noise of the final 3D printing product (p<0.001). We found that the percentage of infill according to the optimal strength was found to be 60%. Finally, development of assist devices for CT biopsy will be able to minimize artifacts and provide convenience to medical staff and patients.

The definition of the bandwidth efficiency (BE) of cognitive cooperative network (CCN) is the ratio between a number of the licensed slot(s) or sub-channel(s) used by the unlicensed users to transmit a single data packet from the unlicensed transmitter to unlicensed destination, and from unlicensed relay(s) to unlicensed destination. This paper analyzes and improves the BE in the underlay CCN with a new reactive relay selection under interference and power constraints. In other words, this paper studies how unlicensed cooperative users use the licensed network slot(s) or sub-channel(s) efficiently. To this end, a reactive relay selection method named as Relay Automatic Repeat Request (RARQ) is proposed and utilized with a CCN under interference and power constraints. It is shown that the BE of CCN is higher than that of cooperative transmission (CT) due to the interference and power constraint. Furthermore, the BE of CCN is affected by the distance of the interference links which are between the unlicensed transmitter to the licensed destination and unlicensed relay to the licensed destination. In addition, the BE for multiple relays selection over a CCN under interference and power constraints is also analyzed and studied, and it is shown that the BE of CCN decreases as the number of relays increases.

In this paper, we propose a new edge based finite state vector quantization method having better performance than conventional side-match finite state vector quantization. In our proposed scheme, each dCT transformed block is classified to 17 classes according to edge types. Each class has a different codebook based on its characteristis. Encoder classified each block to motion block or stationary block and constructed a merging map by using edge and motion information, and sent to decoder. We controled amoutn of bing bits transmitted with selecting modes accoridng to bandwidth of transmitting channel. Compared with conventional algorithms, H.263 and H.261 at low bit rate, our proposed algorithm shows better picture quality and good performance.

This paper describes an automatic threshold decision using a maximum mismatched correlation value in the direct sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS) system. For received PN codes with different single-to-noise ratio (SNR), this scheme is able to detect a desired threshold value in the search mode, i.e. a maximum mismstched correlation value, so that value is utilized as a threshold for the verification mode. Performance of the proposed scheme in both the additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) and frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels is analyzed through the Monte Carlo simulation. And hardware implementation of this scheme using a DSP processor is demonstrated. The proposed acquisition shceme is compared to the conventional constant threshold (CT) scheme, and significant improvement of performance is shown. Analysis of system performance in the verification mode is presented, and key quantities such as the false alarm probability and the detection probability are derived in a AWGN channel.

슬라이스 두께(slice thickness)와 선속시준(beam collimation, BC)의 변화에 따른 CT gantry aperture 내의 선량 분포와 영상의 질을 알아보고자 하였다. CT장치로는 64-slice MDCT 스캐너(Brilliance 64, Philips, Cleveland, USA)를 사용하였다. 피사체가 없는 경우(air scan)의 선량측정을 위해 CT용 전리함을 gantry aperture내의 회전중심점(isocenter)과 12시, 3시, 6시, 9시 방향에서 회전중심점으로부터 5 cm 간격으로 30 cm까지 BC를 변화시키면서 각각 측정 하였다. 또한 5개의 구멍(팬텀의 중심과 12시, 3시, 6시, 9시 방향)으로 구성된 CT head and body dose phantom을 gantry aperture 내에 위치시키고 각 지점에서 선량을 측정하였다. Gantry aperture 내 피사체의 위치변화에 대한 영상의 노이즈를 비교하기 위해서 AAPM CT용 팬텀의 물통을 회전중심점과 12시 방향으로 5 cm와 10 cm 이동시킨 후 BC를 변화시키면서 스캔한 후 팬텀의 중심과 12시, 3시, 6시, 9시 방향의 지점에서 노이즈를 측정하였다. 이 중에서 몇 군데의 위치는 영상 영역에서 벗어나서 측정 할 수가 없었다. 이때 노이즈 측정을 위해서 영상재구성의 슬라이스 두께는 5 mm로 하였다. 측정한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다: 첫째, CTDIw는 회전중심점으로부터 멀어질수록, BC가 넓어질수록 감소하였다. 둘째, BC의 넓이가 비슷한 경우의 CTDIw는 거의 유사한 값을 보였다. 즉, CTDIw는 검출기 배열의 수나 화소의 크기 보다는 전체적인 BC의 넓이에 의존하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 셋째, air scan과 phantom scan 경우 모두에서 CTDIw는 BC가 증가될수록 감소하였다. 그러나 air scan의 경우보다 head phantom scan 시 약 30%, body phantom scan 시 약 52% 정도 CTDIw의 값이 감소하였다. 넷째, BC와 팬텀의 위치 변화에 따른 노이즈 값은 $2{\times}0.5\;mm$의 BC을 제외하고는 head phantom scan한 경우 3.9~5.9, body phantom scan한 경우 5.3~7.4로 나타나, BC와 팬텀의 위치변화에 따라서 큰 차이가 없었다. 따라서 피사체의 위치가 gantry aperture 내 SFOV(scan field of view)에 포함될 경우 회전중심점에 정확하게 위치시키지 않아도 영상의 질에는 많은 영향을 미치지 않는다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
