The packing-free piston has become widely distributed in certain branches of instrument making and precision machine building. A large number of the most diversified instruments are now being constructed on the principle of the packing-free piston like piston manometers, vacuum manometers, hydraulic machines, dynamometers. hardness measuring instruments. power indicators, hydraulic scales, and many others. In spite of the widespread application of systems with a packing-free piston, there were practically no special papers to the theory and practice of the application of such systems. This paper describes the theoretical approaching method to get the pressure distribution profile between the piston and cylinder using finite element method.

Our purpose is to develop a precision magnetic displacement sensor that has sub-micron resolution and small size probe. To achieve this, we first have tried to establish mathematical models of a magnetic sensor in this paper. The inductance model that presents basic measuring principle of a magnetic sensor is based on equivalent magnetic circuit method. Especially we have concentrated on modeling of magnetic flux leakage and magnetic flux fringing. The induced model is verified by experimental results. The model, including the magnetic flux leakage and flux fringing effects, is in good agreement with the experimental data. Subsequently, based on the augmented model, we will design magnetic sensor probe in order to obtain high performances and to scale down the probe.

The antioxidant activity of Pinus densiflora was determined by measuring the radical scavenging effect on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals. The methanol extract of P. densiflora showed strong antioxidant activity, and thus fractionated with several solvents. The antioxidant activity potential of the individual fraction was in the order of ethyl acetate>n-butanol>water>dichloromethane> n-hexane fraction. The ethyl acetate soluble fraction exhibiting strong antioxidant activity was further purified by repeated silica gel column chromatography. Antioxidant (+)-catechin was isolated as one of the active principles from the ethyl acetate fraction, together with the inactive components, dihydrokaempferol and 1-O-benzoylglucose. The radical scavenging effect of (+)-catechin on DPPH radical exceeded to that of L-ascorbic acid which is a well known antioxidant.

As public interest in air quality and environment problem is increasing, many researches are being carried out the gas measurement system. Especially, Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) measurements using Beer-Lambert gas sensing principle with very high selectivity and long life time are noted for reliable method. It is possible to detect various gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), but many researches are mostly concentrated on CO2 sensor. The multi-gas measuring instrument is high price and unwieldy, therefore it is not suitable for wide area required numerous instrument. So we study the NDIR multi-gas measurement system for air quality based on wireless sensor network, and experiment the realized measurement system.

To overcome multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer chemotherapy, we prepared various plant extracts and searched for a component which is effective for inhibition of MDR. MDR inhibition activity was determined by measuring cytotoxicity to MDR cells using multidrug resistant human fibrocarcinoma KB V20C, which is resistant to 20 nM vincristine and expresses high level of mdr1 gene. Of various plant extracts, the MeOH extract of the root of Aconitum pseudo-laeve var. erectum was found to have potent inhibitory activity on MDR. The bioassayguided fractionation of the MeOH extract of the plant led to the isolation of an alkaloid, lycaconitine, as an active principle. And the $IC_{50}$ of lycaconitne for KB V20C cells was $74\mu{g}$/ml.

Sound pressure and particle velocity are the most essential quantities prescribing a sound field; they correspond to voltage and electric current respectively, in electric system. As electric power is the product of voltage and electric current, sound intensity is the product of sound pressure and particle velocity and it means the acoustic power passing through a unit area in a sound field. Although the definition of sound intensity is very simple as mentioned above, the method of measuring this quantity has not been realized for a long time, because it has been very difficult to measure the particle velocity simultaneously with the sound pressure. Owing to the recent development of such technologies as transducer production and digital signal processing, it has finally been realized. According to the sound intensity(SI) method, the sound power flow in an arbitrary sound field can be directly measured as a vector quantify. In this paper, the principle of the SI method is briefly explained at first and some examples of its application made in the author's laboratory are introduced.

Using LSM (laser scanning method) , the radius of curvature due to thermal deformation in polyimide film coated on Si substrate is measured. Since the polyimide film shows viscoelastic behavior, i.e., the modulus and deformation of the film vary with time and temperature, we estimate the relaxation modulus and the residual stresses of the polyimide film by measuring the radius of curvature and subsequently by performing viscoelastic analysis. The residual stresses relax by an amount of 10％ at 100$^{\circ}C$ and 20% at 150$^{\circ}C$ for two hours.

Non-contacting capacitive sensors, based on principle of the cross capacitor, for measuring small displacement less than 1.95$\pm$0.5 mm have been fabricated and characterized. To overcome disadvantages of the existed capacitive sensors, the new sensor is consisted of 4-electrodes which are formed 2 active electrodes and 2 guard electrodes on a sapphire plate with diameter 17mm and thickness 0.7 mm, and are symmetrically situated with constant gap of 0.2 mm among the electrodes. The sensor is evaluated to be correlation coefficient of 0.9987 for the range of 1.95$\pm$0.5 mm and that of 0.9995 for 1.95$\pm$0.25 mm range. This sensor can be used for in situ measurements in the mechanical mirror polishing with precision less than $\pm$1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

A PTV algorithm was constructed using a linear transformation, in which the merits of the conventional PIV and PTV were adopted. In PIV calculations, the obtained velocity vectors are affected by the filtering effects by its calculation principle. PTV techniques are widely used for their excellences of measuring small scaled flows, such as nano and bio flows. However, PTVs produce vector errors due to interpolation process. To overcome these problems, a hybrid PTV algorithm was constructed by combining PTVs' and PIVs' benefits using a linear transformation. The Taylor-Green vortex flows were generated for the tests of vorticity calculations. The conventional gray-level cross-correlation PIV technique and 2-Frame PTV technique were tested for the same flows for comparisons with those obtained by the constructed hybrid algorithm. The excellence of the constructed hybrid algorithm was validated through an actual experiment on the cylinder wake.

A portable mould oscillation analyzer with an integrated computer, developed by POSCO, records the movement of the mould in every spatial direction. The system uses the gap sensors to measure the mould movement (displacement) in two horizontal directions according to the mould narrow and broad faces and the vertical strokes in the four corners of mould. The gap sensor is a non-contacting minute displacement-measuring device using the principle of high frequency eddy current loss. The mould oscillation diagnostic system integrates the gap sensors, their converters and the industrial portable computer with plug-in data acquisition boards. In an own expert module, which is included in the diagnosis program, one can obtain much information about the mould oscillation equipment.
