Breast cancer detection using electrical impedance techniques is based on numerous experimental findings that cancerous tissues have higher electrical conductivity values than normal tissues. Lately, by taking advantage of the structure of current flows underneath a planar probe of array electrodes, a mathematical formula to find lesions from a measured trans­admittance map has been derived. In order to experimentally validate its mathematical analysis and the suggested lesion estimation algorithm, we developed a 256-channel trans-admittance scanner (TAS) for probing anomalies underneath a planar array of electrodes. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of the TAS. Its performance together with the lesion estimation algorithm was evaluated using saline phantoms. Further studies are proposed to validate the system on human subjects.

In this paper, we propose a new selective scanning scheme based on hand-off path information, which can provide an efficient reducing of delay time. This scheme eliminates almost of the scanning delay time by using Selective Scan based on Experience Path Table(SSEPT) algorithm and also completed hand-off within few milliseconds by using the next candidate channel indexing mechanism. Our scheme reduces the total number of scanning channels as well as the delay time on each channel. From the simulation result, we show that the proposed scheme is advantageous over the legacy schemes in terms of the scanning channels and the total delay time.

The on-orbit test simulation for predicting the instrument directional responsivity was conducted by the Monte Carlo based integrated ray tracing (IRT) computation technique and analytic flux-to-signal conversion algorithms. For the on-orbit test simulation, the Sun model consists of the Lambertian scattering sphere and emitting spheroid rays, the Amon-Ra instrument is a two-channel including a broadband scanning radiometer (energy channel) and an imager with ${\pm}2^{\circ}$ FOV (visible channel). The solar radiation produced by the Sun model is directed to the instrument viewing port and traced through the dual channel optical train. The instrument model is rotated on its rotation axis and this gives a slow scan of the Sun model over the full field of view. The direction of the incident lights are fed with scanned images obtained from the visible channel instrument. The instrument responsivity was computed by the ratio of the incident radiation input to the instrument output. In the radiometric simulation, especially, measured BRDF of the 3D CPC was used for scattering effects on radiometry. With diamond turned 3D CPC inner surface, the anisotropic surface scattering model from the measured data was applied to ray tracing computation. The technical details of the on-orbit test simulation are presented together with field-of-view calibration plan.

Although synthetic aperture focusing techniques can improve the spatial resolution of ultrasound imaging, they have not been employed in a commercial product because they require a real-time N-channel beamformer with a tremendously increased hardware complexity for simultaneous beamforming along M multiple lines. In this paper, a hardware-efficient beamformer architecture for synthetic aperture focusing is presented. In contrast to the straightforward design using NM delay calculators, the proposed method utilizes only M delay calculators by sharing the same values among the focusing delays which should be calculated at the same time between the N channels for all imaging points along the M scan lines. In general, synthetic aperture beamforming requires M 2-port memories. In the proposed beamformer, the input data for each channel is first upsampled with a 4-fold interpolator and each polyphase component of the interpolator output is stored into a 2-port memory separately, requiring 4M 2-port memories for each channel. By properly limiting the area formed with the synthetic aperture focusing, the input memory buffer can be implemented with only 4 2-port memories and one short multi-port memory.

As a part of the KIAPS Observation Processing System (KOPS), we have developed the modules of satellite radiance data pre-processing and quality control, which include observation operators to interpolate model state variables into radiances in observation space. AMSU-A (Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A) level-1d radiance data have been extracted using the BUFR (Binary Universal Form for the Representation of meteorological data) decoder and a first guess has been calculated with RTTOV (Radiative Transfer for TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder) version 10.2. For initial quality checks, the pixels contaminated by large amounts of cloud liquid water, heavy precipitation, and sea ice have been removed. Channels for assimilation, rejection, or monitoring have been respectively selected for different surface types since the errors from the skin temperature are caused by inaccurate surface emissivity. Correcting the bias caused by errors in the instruments and radiative transfer model is crucial in radiance data pre-processing. We have developed bias correction modules in two steps based on 30-day innovation statistics (observed radiance minus background; O-B). The scan bias correction has been calculated individually for each channel, satellite, and scan position. Then a multiple linear regression of the scan-bias-corrected innovations with several predictors has been employed to correct the airmass bias.

전기체간스캔법(EIS, electro interstitial scan)은 미세 직류전류를 인체의 사지말단 또는 국소적 인가를 통해 인체의 전류 반응을 기준으로 인체의 질병 유무를 판별할 수 있는 비침습적인 질병 스크리닝 방법으로 가능성을 보이고 있다. 프랑스에서 개발된 DDFAO는 다채널 EIS로 다양한 질병, 특히 당뇨와 같은 내분비 기관의 진단에 효과적이라고 주장한다. 본 연구에서는 RC 팬텀 모델을 이용하여 DDFAO의 측정의 반복성과 민감도를 확인하고, 정상군과 당뇨 질환군을 대상으로 임상적 유용성을 검정하였다. 그 결과, 팬텀을 이용할 경우, 반복 측정시 값의 변화가 없고 팬텀 특성이 변화될 때 DDFAO의 측정 결과도 변화되었다. 그러나 임상 측정에 있어서 6개의 표면 전극을 이용하여 비침습적 방법으로 정상인과 당뇨병 환자의 구별은 어려울 뿐만 아니라 반복성과 정확성도 우수하지 않았다. 그러나, 이러한 문제점에도 불구하고 측정 방법의 편리성과 간편성으로 인해 국소적인 영역보다 인체 전반적인 특성을 파악하는 스크린 장비로써의 개발 가능성은 여전히 보이고 있기에 EIS에 대한 다양한 기반 연구가 필요하다.

최근 임상에서 사용하고 있는 128채널 MDCT의 복부 및 골반부 촬영 시 생식선 차폐 선량관리 자료로 활용하기 위하여 생식선의 피폭선량과 생식선 차폐 시 피폭선량을 측정하고 획득영상을 평가하였다. 평가한 결과 복부 MDCT 검사시생식선 차폐기구를 사용하지 않았을 경우에서 $16.5{\pm}0.5$ mGy를 나타냈으며, 대($650m^2$)크기의 차폐체를 사용하였을 경우 $7.5{\pm}0.3$ mGy로 측정되어 54%의 생식선 피폭선량 감소효과를 보였다. 골반부 MDCT 검사시 생식선 차폐기구를 사용하지 않았을 경우에서 $9.5{\pm}0.3$ mGy, 대($650m^2$)크기의 차폐체를 사용하였을 경우 $2.8{\pm}0.2$ mGy로 나타나 70% 의 생식선 피폭선량 감소효과를 보였다. MDCT를 이용한 검사 시 생식선 차폐기구 사용 유, 무에 따라 영상을 획득하여 Likert 5점 척도로 분석한 결과 복부 영상에서는 4.1점으로 동일한 결과를 보였다. 또한 골반부 검사에서는 생식선 차폐기구 사용하였을 때 1.2점, 생식선 차폐기구 사용하지 않았을 때 4.1점으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과에서 복부 128-MDCT 검사 시 생식선 차폐기구를 사용하여 영상의 질 저하 없이 영상을 획득하고 피폭선량을 감소하여야 할 것으로 사료된다.

최근 스마트폰의 발달과 더불어 대형 TV, 의료용 장비 및 전자 칠판에도 터치스크린의 수요가 급증하고 있다. 스크린 사이즈가 증가 할수록 고해상도를 위하여 훨씬 더 많은 채널이 추가 되면서 한 프레임을 스캔하는데 긴 시간이 소요되어 터치감지 지연이 큰 문제가 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 새로운 드라이빙 및 센싱 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법은 differential 드라이빙 방법으로 2 단계로 수행되어진다. 먼저 고속 센싱 프로세스를 통해 터치가 발생된 센싱 라인들을 우선 대략적으로 도출해 낸 후 정확한 터치 위치 스캔을 위해서 터치된 라인에서만 감지가 수행되어 진다. 이 방법을 사용하면 터치 패널의 frame refresh rate를 향상 시킬 수 있다. 제안된 구조는 FPGA와 개발된 AFE board로 구현되었으며, 23인치 상용 터치패널을 사용하여 테스트하였다. 이 기법은 기존 대비 frame scan rate를 8.4배 향상시킨다.

We present a fine patterning method of conductive lines on polyimide (PI) and glass substrates using silver (Ag) nanoparticles based on laser scanning. Controlled laser irradiation can realize selective sintering of conductive ink without damaging the substrate. Thus, this technique easily creates fine patterns on heat-sensitive substrates such as flexible plastics. The selective laser sintering of Ag nanoparticles was managed by optimizing the conditions for the laser scan velocity (1.0-20 mm/s) and power (10-150 mW) in order to achieve a small gap size, high electrical conductivity, and fine roughness. The fabricated electrodes had a minimum channel length of $5{\mu}m$ and conductivity of $4.2{\times}10^5S/cm$ (bulk Ag has a conductivity of $6.3{\times}10^5S/cm$) on the PI substrate. This method was used to successfully fabricate an organic field effect transistor with a poly(3-hexylthiophene) channel.
