Purpose: This study examined the effectiveness of action observation training (AOT) and mirror therapy in improving the electroencephalograms (EEG) of stroke patients. Methods: Patients were allocated randomly to three groups: an action observation training with activity (AOTA) group (n=12), a mirror therapy with activity (MTA) group (n=11), and an AOT-only group (n=12). All groups received conventional physiotherapy in five 60-minute sessions over six weeks. The AOTA, MTA, and AOT groups practiced AOTA, MTA, and AOT, respectively, in three 30-minute sessions over six weeks. The differences between the pre- and post-treatment EEGs were assessed using a paired t-test. Comparisons between the groups were performed using one-way ANOVA. Results: The participants in the AOTA and MTA groups showed significant improvement in the EEG. AOTA improved the alpha waves of the prefrontal, temporal, and parietal lobes significantly (p<0.05). MTA improved the alpha waves of the temporal lobe significantly (p<0.05). AOT did not result in significant improvement Conclusion: AOTA and MTA improve stroke patients' EEGs. Mirror neuron activation combined with conventional stroke physiotherapy promotes motor recovery and functioning. The effect is enhanced when the actions are executed after observation. Further research into mirror neuron activation will be needed to develop methods to improve the EEGs of stroke patients.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) integrated mirror therapy on the gait of post-stroke patients. Thirty patients who were six months post-stroke were assigned to either the experimental group (n = 15) or the control group (n = 15). Stroke patients in the experimental group underwent rTMS and mirror therapy for the lower limbs, while those in the control group underwent rTMS and sham therapy. Participants in both groups received therapy five days per week for four weeks. A significant difference in post-training gains for the single support phase, step length, stride length and velocity was observed between the experimental group and the control group (p < 0.05). The experimental group showed a significant increment in the single support phase, step length, stride length, swing phase, velocity, cadence, double support phase and step width as compared to pre-intervention (p < 0.05). The control group showed a significant increment in step length, velocity, cadence and step width compared to preintervention (p < 0.05). Further investigation of the availability and feasibility of rTMS integrated mirror therapy for post-stroke patients as a therapeutic approach for gait rehabilitation is warranted.

Active sunlighting systems have been applied to deliver sunlight into the indoor space where natural light is insufficient, mainly because of the congested high-rise buildings in urban areas. Among various active sunlighting systems, a mirror sunlighting system which is simple structure and economically reasonable has been widely used in different types of spaces such as underground, north facing place and atrium. This study was to evaluate the mirror sunlighting systems, which were consisted of the first mirror of $3.5m{\times}2.5m$, the eight sets of the second mirrors of $1.0m{\times}1.25m$ and a sun tracker. Ten sets of the systems were installed for 40 apartment living rooms, the configuration of $3.5m(W){\times}4.0m(D){\times}2.5m(H)$ where sunlighting were not possible due to high retaining walls located in the front of the living rooms. The 45 HOBO data logger sensors for the indoor illuminance were equipped and 2 Li-cor photometers for outdoor illuminance. Both indoor and outdoor horizontal illuminances were monitored every second from 9am to 3pm on 17 January 2010 under clear sky condition. The results showed that the indoor illuminance of installed mirror sunlighting system was significant relationship with outdoor illuminance and increased the indoor illuminance level by 4.2 times on the whole floor space, by 8 times on the sun patch space of 6m2 and even by 2 times on the no sun patch space. In addition, the luminous conditions of the living room under real sky conditions met the KS recommendation for difficult task (600-1000-1500 lux) such as sewing and reading on whole floor space and sun patch space. It was proved that the benefits of mirror sunlighting systems included an effective technology for penetrating daylight into indoors where sunlighting was not possible and improving occupants' satisfaction and health, and contributing to energy saving in apartments during daytime.

광섬유 loop mirror를 사용하여 수동형 모우드 록킹된 '8'자 고리형 erbium 첨가 광섬유 레이저로부터 솔리톤 광펄스 출력을 얻었다. 광섬유 loop mirror는 loop내의 한쪽 끝에 erbium 첨가 광섬유를 포함하는 증폭형 loop mirror 형태로 구성되었으며 비선형 매질로서 길이 504m의 분산천이 광섬유가 사용되었다. 파장 $1.48{\mu}m$의 반도체레이저로 펌핑하고 공진기내 편광조절기를 조절함으로써 공진기 일주시간에 해당하는 기본주기로 반복되는 솔리톤 펄스군을 얻을 수 있었다. 솔리톤 펄스군은 중심파장 1574nm, 파장폭 1.2nm로 나타났으며 기본주기내에서 임의 시간간격의 펄스패턴을 가지고 있었다. 자기상관계를 이용하여 2.4ps의 펄스 폭을 측정하였는데 이는 이론에 의한 예측치와 거의 일치하는 값이다. 또한 펄스폭과 주파수 대역폭의 곱이 0.348로서 transform limit에 가까운 펄스임을 알 수 있었다.

파장 13nm의 연 X-선을 사용하여 초고밀도 반도체 칩을 네작할 수 있는 고분해능의 투사 결상용 2-반사경계(배율=1)을 설계하였다. 등배율(1:1)의 광학계는 holosymmetric system으로 구성하였을 때 코마와 왜곡수차가 완전히 제거되는 이점을 갖는다. 2-반사경 holosymmetric system에서 추가적으로 구면수차를 제거하기 위해 두 반사경을 동일한 포물면으로 만들고 두 반사경 사이 거리를 조절하여 비점수차와 Petzval 합이 상쇄되게 함으로써 상면만곡 수차를 보정하였다. 이렇게 구한 aplanat flat-field 포물면 2-반사경 holosymmetric system은 크기가 작고 광축회전대칭의 간단한 구조를 가지면 중앙부 차폐가 아주 작다는 특징을 갖고 있다. 이 반사경계에 대해 잔류 수차, spot diagrams, 회절효과가 고려된 NTF의 분석 등을 통해 연 X-선 리소그라피용 투사 광학계로서의 성능이 조사된 결과, $0.25\mum$및. $0.18\mum$의 해상도가 얻어지는 상의 최대 크기가 각각 4.0mm, 2.5mm로 구해졌고 초점심도는 각각 $2.5.\mu$m, $2.4.\mum$로 얻어졌다. 그러므로 이 반사경계는 256Mega DRAM 및 1Giga DRAM의 반도체 칩 제작의 연구에 응용될 수 있다.

The operating characteristics, such as, the threshold gain, lasing frequency, and longitudinal intensity profile, etc., of 1.55$\mu$m DFB laser diode with index and/or gain grating structures and with one side AR-coated mirror have been analyzed. From this analysis, the optimum design parameters have been shown that ${\Delta}{\Omega}$ (the phase difference between index grating and gain grating) is 0 or ${\pi}$, (xL)$_{r}$=1~3 and (xL)$_{i}$=0.5~0.9. It has been also shown that the modal selectivity and intensity uniformity of the DFB lasers with .DELTA..OMEGA.=0 are ~1.2 times better thatn those of the DFB lasers with ${\Delta}{\Omega}$= ${\pi}$.

For the improvement of minimum sensing angular velocity of ring laser gyro, the influence of a low-scattering mirror application to laser resonator was investigated. Super polishing technique was employed for the fine mirror substrates of less than 1-${\AA}$-rms roughness. Mirror coating using ion-beam sputtering coating machine produced low-scattering mirror less than 30-ppm scattering. As a result of the mirror application to ring laser, the minimum sensing angular velocity of the gyro was improved down to about 0.1 deg/sec.

An off-axis four-mirror-anastigmatic telescope is presented here which is composed of two aspheric surfaces and two spherical surfaces. The entrance pupil diameter is 290 mm and the stop is located at the primary mirror. The effective focal length is 900 mm. The strip field of view for the telescope is $15^{\circ}{\times}0.2^{\circ}$ and if the telescope is launched into an orbit about 400 km altitude, the observed range width will be more than 105 km within a scene without any other auxiliary scanning instrument. The spectral range can be as wide as from visual wave band to infrared wave band in the mirror system. This telescope can be used for environmental monitoring with different detectors whose pixel is adapted to the optical resolution. In this paper, the spectral range is chosen as 3.0 -5.0 ${\mu}m$, and center distance of the pixel is 30 ${\mu}m$. And the image quality is near the diffraction limit.

In order to analyze the performance comparison of dish solar collector with mirror arrays and receiver shapes, the radiative heat flux distribution inside the cavity receiver is numerically investigated. The solar irradiation reflected by dish solar collector is traced using the Monte-Carlo method. Five different dish solar collectors and three different cavity receivers are considered. A parabolic-shaped perfect mirror of which diameter is 1.5 m is considered as a reference dish solar collector and four different arrays of twelve identical parabolic-shaped mirror facets of which diameter are 0.4 m are used. Their reflecting areas, which are $1.5\;m^2$, are the same. Three different cavity receiver shapes are dome, conical, and cylindrical. In addition, the radiative properties of the concentrating surfaces can vary the thermal performance of the cavity receiver so that variation of the surface reflectivity of each mirror is considered. Based on the calculation, the design information of dish solar collector for producing the electric power can be obtained. The results show that the dome type has the best performance in receiver shapes and the 2AND4 INLINE has the best performance in mirror arrays except perfect mirror.
