The boundary estimation problem is used to estimate the shape of organic depend on the phase of the cardiac cycle or interested in the detection of the location and size of anomalies with resistivity values different from the background tissues such as nuclear reactor. And we can use the method to solve the optimal solution such as modified Newton raphson, kalman filter, extended kalman filter, etc. But, this method consumes much time and is sensitive to the initial value and noise in the estimation of the unknown shape. In the paper, we propose that multi-layer neural networks estimate the boundary of the unknown object using Fourier coefficient. This method can be used at the real time estimation and have strong characteristics at the noise and initial value. It uses voltage change; difference the homogeneous voltage to the non-homogeneous voltage, and change of Fourier coefficient change to train multi-layer neural network. After train, we can have real time estimation using this method.

This paper introduces the physical phenomena involved in Direct Contact Heat Exchangers (DCHXs) and also investigates the possibility of applying of EIT(Electrical Impedance Tomography) technique for capturing the images of dispersed phases as they stream through a stagnant body of water. A number of cases are studied where two dimensional cross-sectional static images are given for fictitious and actual masses present in a column of water(saline solution). In most direct contact liquid-liquid heat exchangers, oil or hydrocarbon with a density different(lighter or heavier) from water is normally used as dispersed working fluid. The main difficulty that arises with this arrangement lies in the elucidation of complicated flow field where the dispersed phase fluid tends to change its shape and size constantly during its journey through the other phase(water). This paper presents a number of results with different types of dispersed phases that are immiscible with water. The EIT technique has been employed in this context to test its applicability in capturing the dynamic images of dispersed phases. It shows static images of dispersed phases where dynamic images could be obtained by simply extending the algorithms and strategies employed in the present analysis.

Coronoid process hyperplasia (CPH) of the mandible is a rare condition in which abnormal elongation of the coronoid process leads to chronic mandibular hypomobility. CPH causes impingement or impedance of the coronoid process on the inner surface of the frontal part of the zygomatic bone during mouth opening. The lack of significant symptoms makes the diagnosis difficult. Its etiology remains inconclusive despite several theories being suggested. In this report, three reviewed cases are presented. All three patients visited our clinic with limited mouth opening as the chief complaint. Standard clinical and radiographic examinations were conducted under the initial impression of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), and restricted jaw movements were confirmed in all cases. The absence of improved signs and symptoms following conservative treatment for TMDs or the indeterminate plain radiographs required the attending clinicians to consider three-dimensional imagery. Computed tomography revealed bilateral coronoid hyperplasia in all cases and impingement on the zygomatic bone in two of the three cases. After concluding that this condition caused the patients' limited mouth opening, the patients were referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery for possible bilateral coronoidectomy or coronoidotomy. CPH usually presents no symptoms apart from a progressive reduction of mouth opening over time. Diagnosis is often delayed, and patients may undergo unnecessary treatment procedures. Clinicians should be aware of this condition and exercise caution in the differential diagnosis of patients with chronic mandibular hypomobility.

수중 산사태의 관측 및 조사는 산사태의 메커니즘의 이해, 설계 및 시공의 유용성, 그리고 손실 감소에 도움을 준다. 본 논문은 실험실 조건의 수중 산사태를 확인하기 위하여 전기저항, 초음파 반사 이미지, 그리고 전단파 토모그래피의 3가지 고해상도 지구물리탐사기법을 수행하였다. 전기저항 탐침에 의한 흙의 전기저항 프로파일은 밀리미터 단위의 해상도로 흙의 공간적 분포 평가를 위한 자세한 정보를 제공해 준다. 임피던스가 다른 물질의 경계면부터의 반사 자료에 의한 초음파 반사 이미지는 밀리미터 단위의 해상도로 사면 형상 및 시료 층상을 탐지해 낼 수 있다. 전단파 이동 시간으로부터 얻어지는 경계 정보의 역산에 의한 픽셀단위 수중 산사태의 이미지를 만들 수 있다. 실험결과 초음파 이미지와 전기저항은 서로 보완적인 정보를 제공할 수 있으며, 전단파 토모그래피 이미지와 연합하여 수중 산사태의 3차원 이미지를 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구는 지구물리탐사기법들이 수중 산사태 및 해안의 공간적 분포의 탐지에 효과적인 기법이 될 수 있음을 보여준다.

본 연구에서는 복잡한 지질구조에 대해서도 신속하고 효율적으로 주시를 계산할 수 있는 Straight Ray Technique(SRT)을 이용한 반사주시 토모그래피 역산 알고리듬을 개발하였다. 역산을 위한 초기 속도모델은 지층경계면에 임피던스 변화를 갖는 상속도 모델을 사용하였다. 실제 속도모델의 반사주시와 초기 속도모델의 반사주시 차이를 계산하여 각각의 요소마다 주시의 오차를 줄이는 방법인 가우스-뉴튼 알고리듬을 이용하여 역산온 수행하였다. 자코비안의 요소는 파선이 지나가는 거리함수로 구성되며, 이를 최소자승형태의 근사 헤시안 행렬로 구성하여 역산을 수행하였다. 역산시 해가 수렴할 수 있도록 근사 헤시안 행렬의 대각성분에 일정한 감쇠인자를 더하였다. 역산된 속도모델을 이용하여 Kirchhoff구조보정을 실시한 결과 실제 속도모델구조에 근사한 단면영상을 얹을 수 있었다.

A hybrid approach employing both the genetic algorithm and the newton-raphson method is proposed for the electrical impedance computed tomography (EICT) image reconstruction. Computational experiments based on the new concept have shown promising results for several noise-free models. In particular, the resistance distribution of the tested models having resistivity ratio up to 100:1 has been reconstructed sucessfully. Using the proposed mehtod, it is also possible to get the reconstruction by the conventional iterative approaches be difficult to vonverge to a robust solution. If the compution power is enhanced further, the proposed method is expected to stimulate the practical applications of the EICT technology in the near future.

In this paper, we introduce a new elliptic PDE: $$\{{\nabla}{\cdot}\(\frac{|{\gamma}^{\omega}(r)|^2}{\sigma}{\nabla}v_{\omega}(r)\)=0,\;r{\in}{\Omega},\\v_{\omega}(r)=f(r),\;r{\in}{\partial}{\Omega},$$ where ${\gamma}^{\omega}={\sigma}+i{\omega}{\epsilon}$ is the admittivity distribution of the conducting material ${\Omega}$ and it is shown that the introduced elliptic PDE can replace the standard elliptic PDE with conductivity coefficient in EIT imaging. Indeed, letting $v_0$ be the solution to the standard elliptic PDE with conductivity coefficient, the solution $v_{\omega}$ is quite close to the solution $v_0$ and can show spectroscopic properties of the conducting object ${\Omega}$ unlike $v_0$. In particular, the potential $v_{\omega}$ can be used in detecting a thin low-conducting anomaly located in ${\Omega}$ since the spectroscopic change of the Neumann data of $v_{\omega}$ is inversely proportional to thickness of the thin anomaly.

In EIT, an array of disjoint electrodes is attached on the boundary of the object and a set of small alternating electrical currents is injected into the object through these electrodes, and then the corresponding set of voltages is measured on the same array of the electrodes. The objective in EIT is to estimate the resistivity distribution inside the object based on the set of measured voltages and injected currents. In this paper, we proposed a new dynamic EIT reconstruction scheme based on the interacting multiple model (IMM) algorithm. The main contribution of the proposed scheme is that multiple models are employed for the state evolution to get around the modeling uncertainty. Extensi...

목적： 생체 조직에서의 전기임피던스 분포는 생리적 기능에 대하여 풍부한 정보를 가지고 있다. 이러한 전기임피던스 분포는 전기임피던스단층촬영법(EIT)으로 구할 수 있으나 공간해상도가 열악하여 그 사용이 보편화되지 못하고 있다. 기존의 EIT의 한계점을 극복하기 위하여 EIT와 MRI 기술을 결합한 자기공명임피던스단층촬영법(MREIT： Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography)이 최근 제안되었다. MREIT는 영상복원 과정에서 x, y, z 3방향의 자속밀도 벡터를 필요로 하므로 MRI용 자석 내에서 물체를 3차원으로 회전하여 자속밀도 벡터를 구해야 한다. 이러한 3차원 회전은 MREIT가 실제 임상에 적용되는데 있어서 한계점으로 지적되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 물체 회전을 하지 않고 전기임피던스 분포를 얻을 수 있는 새로운 MREIT 방법을 제안하였다. 새로운 MREIT 방법의 원리에 대해서 소개하고 0.3T의 주자장세기를 갖는 연구용 MRI 시스템에서 얻은 MREIT영상을 소개하고자 한다.

This paper studies the possibility of applying the EIT(Electrical Impedance Tomography) technique for investigating the formation and movement of dispersed phase droplets as they stream through a Direct Contact Heat Exchanger(DCHX). In most direct contact liquid-liquid heat exchangers, oil or hydro-carbon with a density different (lighter or heavier) from water is normally used as dispersed working fluid. The main difficulty that arises with arrangement lies in the extraction of performance parameters and visualization of dispersed phase fluids if required. In order to delve into these problems, this paper introduces a number of cases regarding the operation and principle of DCHXs and investigates the possibility of applying the EIT technique whose results are given for several examples.
