PURPOSE. To integrate extra-oral facial scanning information with CAD/CAM complete dentures to immediately rehabilitate terminal dentition. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Ten patients with terminal dentition scheduled for total extraction and immediate denture placement were recruited for this study. The patients were submitted to a facial scanning procedure using the in-office PritiMirror scanner with bite registration records in-situ. Definitive stone cast models and bite records were subsequently submitted to a lab scanning procedure using the lab scanner (iSeries DWOS; Dental Wings). The scanned models were used to create a virtual teeth setup of a complete denture. Using the intra-oral bite records as a reference, the virtual setup was incorporated in the facial scan thereby facilitating a virtual clinical evaluation (teeth try-in) phase. After applying necessary adjustments, the virtual setup was submitted to a CAM procedure where a 5-axis industrial milling machine (M7 CNC; Darton AG General) was used to fabricate a full-milled PMMA immediate provisional prosthesis. RESULTS. Total extractions were performed, the dentures were immediately inserted, and subjective clinical fit was evaluated. The immediate provisional prostheses were inserted and clinical fit, occlusion/articulation, and esthetics were subjectively assessed; the results were deemed satisfactory. All provisional prostheses remained three months in function with no notable technical complications. CONCLUSION. Ten patients with terminal dentition were treated using a complete digital approach to fabricate complete dentures using CAD/CAM technology. The proposed technique has the potential to accelerate the rehabilitation procedure starting from immediate denture to final implant-supported prosthesis leading to more predictable functional and aesthetics outcomes.

본 논문에서는 디스플레이 응용을 위해 동일한 크기를 갖는 공극을 가지며 기계적으로 연동된 미소거울들의 선택적인 구동을 사용하여 RGB 컬러를 재현하는 반사형 간섭 변조기를 제안한다. 기존의 투과형 간섭변조기는 별도의 배면 광원이 필요하기 때문에 전력 소모가 크며, 기존의 반사형 간섭 변조기는 세 가지 RGB 색상을 구현하기 위해서 서로 다른 크기를 갖는 3 개의 공극이 필요하기 때문에 공정이 복잡하다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 반사형 간섭 변조기는 간단한 공정을 위해 동일한 크기를 갖는 1 개의 공극을 가지며 기계적으로 연동된 미소거울의 디지털 구동을 통하여 세 가지 RGB 색상을 재현한다. 실험에서 제안하는 간섭 변조기는 스위칭 모드 (000), (010), (101)에서 각각 초록, 파랑, 빨강의 색상을 재현하였으며, 측정된 스펙트럼 피크치에서의 파장은 각각 $511{\pm}5nm$, $478{\pm}5nm$, $644{\pm}9nm$였고, 대역폭은 각각 $60{\pm}1nm$, $45{\pm}2nm$, $105{\pm}4nm$였고, 반사세기는 각각 $77{\pm}5%$, $73{\pm}2%$, $81{\pm}5%$이었다. 측정된 검정에 대한 스펙트럼의 반사세기는 $27{\pm}0%$ 이하로 측정되었다. 본 논문에서는 디스플레이 응용을 위해 간단한 공정으로 제작이 가능한 간섭 변조기의 색재현 성능을 실험적으로 검증하였다.

생산방식의 변화에 따라 3차원 형상을 신속하고 정확하게 측정하는 것이 중요해졌다. 가장 훌륭한 비접촉 3차원 측정방법인 모아레 방법 중 잡음신호를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 위상천이 방법을 구현함에 있어 DMD를 이용하여 격자를 생성하고 이송하는 효과를 발생하도록 하였다. 컴퓨터에서 격자를 이송하고 위상천이를 발생하므로 기계적 이송으로 인한 잡음신호의 발생 가능성을 배제할 수 있으며 광학렌즈와의 적절한 조합을 통해 쉽게 분해능을 변화하며 3차원 정보 획득이 가능하다. 근본적인 $2\pi$ 모호성문제를 극복하기 위하여 2차원 위상정력을 실시하였다. 이 방법을 적용하여 3차원 형상의 측정을 수행하였다.

This paper proposes a new automatic compensation network (ACN) for a system-on-chip (SoC) transceiver. We built a 5 GHz low noise amplifier (LNA) with an on-chip ACN using 0.18 ${\mu}m$ SiGe technology. This network is extremely useful for today's radio frequency (RF) integrated circuit devices in a complete RF transceiver environment. The network comprises an RF design-for-testability (DFT) circuit, capacitor mirror banks, and a digital signal processor. The RF DFT circuit consists of a test amplifier and RF peak detectors. The RF DFT circuit helps the network to provide DC output voltages, which makes the compensation network automatic. The proposed technique utilizes output DC voltage measurements and these measured values are translated into the LNA specifications such as input impedance, gain, and noise figure using the developed mathematical equations. The ACN automatically adjusts the performance of the 5 GHz LNA with the processor in the SoC transceiver when the LNA goes out of the normal range of operation. The ACN compensates abnormal operation due to unusual thermal variation or unusual process variation. The ACN is simple, inexpensive and suitable for a complete RF transceiver environment.

In this paper, we propose a new approach for compact range sensor system for real-time robot applications. Instead of using off-the-shelf camera and projector, we devise a compact system with a CMOS image-sensor and a DMD (Digital Micro-mirror Device) that yields smaller dimension ($168{\times}50{\times}60mm$) and lighter weight (500g). We also realize one chip hard-wired processing of projection of structured-light and computing the range by exploiting correspondences between CMOS images-ensor and DMD. This application-specific chip processing is implemented on an FPGA in real-time. Our range acquisition system performs 30 times faster than the same implementation in software. We also devise an efficient methodology to identify a proper light intensity to enhance the quality of range sensor and minimize the decoding error. Our experimental results show that the total-error is reduced by 16% compared to the average case.

In micromechanical system (MEMS) such as microactuators. thin film has been widely used as structural material. MEMS materials have difference with bulk in terms of mechanical properties. So, we design the advanced test structure for micromechanical properties of MEMS. The designed structure includes the newly developed pre-crack and it is driven by electrostatic force. To measure the fracture toughness, the pre-crack formation in the test structure is developed with conventional etching process. The advanced test structure is fabricated by application of semiconductor technology. After this, we propose analytical methodology to evaluate the fracture toughness and fatigue properties through a prediction of crack behavior from the variations of stiffness and frequency. Additionally, life time of a mirror plane used in DVD(Digital Video Disk) is measured as a function of capacitance and applied voltage under the accelerated conditions. Ultimately, we propose the method to evaluate the micromechanical reliabilities of the MEMS materials using the advanced test structure.

The SRI(Super Resolution Imager) with 800mm aperture primary mirror is the ground development model of the high resolution satellite camera. The SRI focal plane electronics including detector array generates the data for high-resolution images by converting incoming light into digital stream of pixel data. Since the focal plane including a detector is the basic building block of the camera system, the main system performances is directly determined by its performance. This paper measures the SRI focal plane electronics’ performance such as the dark signal, the dark signal noise, the linearity, the PRNU(Photo Response Non-Uniformity), the SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) and the sensor saturation capability. In addition, this paper verifies the various functionalities of the SRI focal plane electronics. The electrical test equipment with the specialized software and the optical test equipments such as the integrating sphere, the rotation stage and the target are implemented and used to verify these functionalities and performances.

We have fabricated a planar lightwave circuit (PLC) hybrid-integrated optical sub-assembly of a triplexer using a thin film filter (TFF)-attached wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) and photodiode (PD) carriers. Two types of TFFs were attached to a diced side of a silica-terraced PLC platform, and the PD carriers with a $45^{\circ}$ mirror on which pin-PDs were bonded were assembled with the platform. A clear transmitter eye-pattern and minimum receiver sensitivity of -24.5 dBm were obtained under 1.25 Gb/s operation for digital applications, and a second-order inter-modulation distortion (IMD2) of -70 dBc was achieved for an analog receiver.

In this paper, an artificial stereo extension method that creates stereophonic sound from a mono sound source is proposed. The proposed method first trains deep neural networks (DNNs) that model the nonlinear relationship between the dominant and residual signals of the stereo channel. In the training stage, the band-wise log spectral magnitude and unwrapped phase of both the dominant and residual signals are utilized to model the nonlinearities of each sub-band through deep architecture. From that point, stereo extension is conducted by estimating the residual signal that corresponds to the input mono channel signal with the trained DNN model in a sub-band domain. The performance of the proposed method was evaluated using a log spectral distortion (LSD) measure and multiple stimuli with a hidden reference and anchor (MUSHRA) test. The results showed that the proposed method provided a lower LSD and higher MUSHRA score than conventional methods that use hidden Markov models and DNN with full-band processing.
