This study was conducted to ultimately reduce unnecessary radiation exposure by emphasizing the need and importance of correct positioning by examining the positioning relationship of anatomical structures in the human body and changes in X-ray images according to changes in patient positioning during the left lateral chest X-ray examination. This study investigated and analyzed previously published papers and books on the left lateral chest X-ray examination to find out the importance of positioning in the left lateral chest X-ray examination. To find out the importance of correct positioning in the left lateral chest X-ray, we compared three images of incorrectly positioned right thorax and left thorax rotated forward and the lower median surface of the body leaning against the image receptor. In the left lateral chest examination, a distorted image was obtained in which the shape of the anatomical structure observed in the image was changed according to the presence or absence of rotation of the patient and the inclination of the median visual surface. X-ray images with the most accurate and large amount of information were obtained from X-ray images with the correct positioning performed during left lateral chest X-ray examination. Therefore, It is believed that the left lateral chest X-ray examination will have beneficial effects such as providing accurate medical information, preventing misdiagnosis, reducing social costs, and ultimately reducing radiation exposure.

This paper presents the lateral control of an autonomous vehicle by using a look-ahead sensing system. In look-ahead sensing by an absolute positioning system, a reference lane, constructed by straight lanes or circular lanes, was switched by a segment switching algorithm. To cope with sensor noise and modeling uncertainty, a robust LMI-based $H_{\infty}$ lateral controller was designed by the feedback of lateral offset and yaw angle error at the vehicle look-ahead. In order to verify the safety and the performance of lateral control, a scaled-down vehicle was developed and the location of the vehicle was detected by using an ultrasonic local positioning system. In the mechatronic scaled-down vehicle, the lateral model and parameters are verified and estimated by a J-turn test. For the lane change and reference lane tracking, the lateral controllers are used experimentally. The experimental results show that the $H_{\infty}$ controller is robust and has better performance compared with look-down sensing.

방사선수술은 고 용량의 방사선을 병소의 목표점에 정확하게 주위의 정상조직을 보호하면서 한 번에 혹은 수 차에 거쳐 전달하는 방법이므로 병소 국재에 대한 오차의 크기는 방사선수술에 직접적인 영향을 끼치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 영상유도 국재 장비인 ExacTrac (BrainLab, Germany)을 이용한 척추방사선수술에서 병소 목표점 국재의 오차를 평가하였다. 국재 오차를 최소화 하기위하여 방사선수술 전 '환자위치 확인장치(PPVT)'를 고안하여 부가적으로 사용하였다. 실시간 목표점오차 평가를 위하여 흉추에 전이된 종양에 대한 방사선수술 8례를 대상으로 평가하였다. 그 결과 isocenter 목표점 오차는 횡단면(lateral) 축 방향, 종단면(longitudinal) 축 방향, 수직면(vertical) 축 방향으로 각각 $0.07{\pm}0.17$ mm, $0.11{\pm}0.18$ mm, $0.13{\pm}0.26$ mm이었으며 평균 공간오차는 $0.20{\pm}0.37$ mm이었다. 병소 isocenter의 회전오차(body rotation)는 종단면(longitudinal) 축 방향 $0.14{\pm}0.07^{\circ}$, 횡단면(lateral) 축 방향 $0.11{\pm}0.07^{\circ}$, 환자테이블 각 이동 $0.03{\pm}0.04^{\circ}$로 평균오차는 $0.20{\pm}0.11^{\circ}$이었다. 본 연구결과 영상유도 국재방법을 이용한 척추방사선수술에서의 병소목표점 국재 평균오차는 임상적으로 허용할 수 있는 오차범위 이내 임을 확인하였다.

In order for a vehicle to follow a predetermined trajectory accurately, its position must be estimated accurately and reliably. In this thesis, we propose trajectory tracking control methods for unmanned vehicle and a positioning system using ultrasonic wave. The positioning problem is an important part of control problem for unmanned navigation of a vehicle. Dead Reckoning is widely used for positioning of vehicle. However this method has problems because it accumulates estimation errors. We propose a new method to increase the accuracy of position estimation using the Ultrasonic Satellite System (USAT). It is shown that we will be able to estimate the position of vehicle precisely, in which errors are not accumulated. And proposed trajectory tracking control methods include both a new path planning method and a lateral control method for vehicle. The experimental results show that the proposed methods enables exact vehicle trajectory tracking even under various environmental factors.

This paper addresses an algorithm of path planning for autonomous driving of a ground vehicle in waypoint navigation. The proposed algorithm is flexible in utilization under a large GPS positioning error and generates collision-free multiple paths while pursuing minimum traveling time. An optimal path reduces inefficient steering by minimizing lateral changes in generated waypoints along a path. Simulation results compare the proposed algorithm with the A* algorithm by manipulation of the steering wheel and traveling time, and show that the proposed algorithm realizes real-time obstacle avoidance by quick processing of path generation, and minimum time traveling by producing paths with small lateral changes while overcoming the very irregular positioning error from the GPS.

For a vehicle to follow a reference path accurately, its position must be estimated accurately and reliably. In this paper, we propose a lateral control algorithm for autonomous navigation of a vehicle via USAT(Ultrasonic Satellite System), which is an absolute position measurement system using an ultrasonic wave and INS(Inertial Navigation System) integration. In order to estimate the vehicle's parameters, a J-turn test is used. And the autonomous navigation performances of proposed lateral control algorithm and validity of proposed lateral control algorithm are verified and evaluated by simulation and experiments.

This paper proposes a dual-mode ultra precision positioning system for machine tools and measuring machines. The objective was to position a machine table with a picometer order of resolution, i.e., pico-positioning. A twist-roller friction drive (TFD) was used in coarse-mode positioning. The TFD, which was driven by an AC servomotor, is a kind of lead screw in mechanical terms, and several centimeters of machine table movement was controlled with a nanometer order of positioning resolution. To eliminate lateral vibration caused by the TFD, an active aerostatic coupling driven by piezoelectric actuators was inserted between the TFD and the machine table. This active aerostatic coupling was also applied as a feed drive device for fine-mode positioning; in the fine mode, the positioning resolution was 50 pm. Factors influencing pico-positioning, such as how noise from displacement sensors and vibrations in the aerostatic guideway affect positioning resolution, are discussed.

For the auto-landing operation of an air vehicle, the possibility of auto-landing operation should be first evaluated by testing the navigation performance through a flight test. In general, navigation performance is tested by analyzing north/east/down (NED) errors relative to reference equipment whose precision is about 8~10 times higher than that of a navigation system. However, to evaluate the auto-landing operation of an air vehicle, whether the air vehicle approaches a glide path aligned with the runway, within a specific error, needs to be examined rather than examining the north/east errors of the navigation system. Therefore, the longitudinal/lateral errors of air vehicle heading need to be analyzed. In this study, a method for analyzing the longitudinal/lateral errors of a navigation system was proposed as the navigation performance test method for evaluating the safety during the auto-landing of an air vehicle. Also, flight tests were performed six times, and the safety of auto-landing was examined by analyzing the performance using the proposed method.

The beach-chair traction position is designed to allow the use of traction while allowing the surgeon to orient the shoulder in an upright position and convert to an open procedure, if necessary. The patient is placed in the beach-chair position under general anesthesia. A three-point shoulder holder (Arthrex, Naples, Florida) is attached to the rail of the operating table on the same side as the surgeon, whereas it is placed on the side opposite the surgeon in the lateral decubitus position. A shoulder traction and rotation sleeve (Arthrex) are affixed to the arm following the manufacturer's instructions. Positioning the thumb toward the closed side of the sleeve ensures a field for the anterior portion of the rotator cuff and prevents the tendency of the suspension apparatus to place the arm in internal rotation. The arm is maintained in 30 to 40 degree abduction and 30 to 40 degree flexion by controlling the length and height of the bar and the location of the universal clamp. The universal clamp allows multiple planes of adjustment to control abduction and forward movement of the arm. The sleeve is attached to the longitudinal traction cable using a sterile hook, and a lateral strap is secured around the proximal portion of the sleeve to the overhead traction cable to ensure a field for glenohumeral reconstruction. The use of a lateral strap permits ideal shoulder positioning for improved access to the anterior and inferior glenohumeral joint. The lateral strap can be released or removed to widen the subacromial space during subacromial decompression or rotator cuff repair. A 10-lb weight is attached to the longitudinal traction cable for an average-sized person.
