Purpose: In order to determine the amount of wound healing, objective sequential assessments of changes in wound size and depth are essential. Although a variety of measurements for wound healing have been proposed, a gold standard for quantifying day-to-day changes in healing has not been established. We present here a simple and non-invasive wound measurement method that quantitatively and accurately documents changes of the size of a raw surface and the volume of a soft tissue defect using a stereoimage optical topometer(SOT) system. Methods: Using a 5mm diameter biopsy punch, four circular wounds were created on abdominal area of a diabetic mouse. Photographs were taken using SOT system at baseline, 5th day and 10th postoperative day. The wound margin was traced on a digitalized photo and evaluated the area and the volume of the wound by SOT system. Results: The SOT system calculated a mean wound surface of $15.93{\pm}0.29mm^2$ and volume of $827.50{\pm}88.86$ intensity/pixel${\times}$area(I/PA) immediately after wounding. On the 5th day after the operation wound surface declined by $10.73mm^2$ and on the 10th day declined by $5.95mm^2$. The wound volume also declined from 827.50 I/PA to 161.75 I/PA and 30.50 I/PA on 0, 5th and 10th day, respectively. Conclusion: The SOT system described in this study represents a reliable, simple, practical, and non-invasive technique to accurately monitor and evaluate wound healing.

We demonstrate highly manufacturable Multi-channel Field Effect Transistor (McFET) on bulk Si wafer. McFET shows excellent transistor characteristics, such as $5{\sim}6 times higher drive current than planar MOSFET, ideal subthreshold swing, low drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) without pocket implantation and negligible body bias dependency, maintaining the same source/drain resistance as that of a planar transistor due to the unique feature of McFET. And suitable threshold voltage ($V_T$) for SRAM operation and high static noise margin (SNM) are achieved by using TiN metal gate electrode.

본 논문은 반도체를 이용한 열화방지형 파워폴딩 제어기 설계에 관한 연구이다. 파워기술은 자동차용 사이드 미러 접이 콘트롤러, 와이퍼 콜트롤러, 안테나 콘트롤러, 파워윈도우 콘트롤러 등에 사용되고 있는 모터제어기술로 기존의 제어 방식은 DC 모터, 스위칭 소자 그리고 Relay 등을 조합한 방식을 채택하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 방식은 동작에 대한 신뢰성 및 내구성, 노이즈 등의 문제점을 극복하는데 한계를 갖고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 모터의 동작을 감시하기 위한 방법으로 부하감지부에서 Motor의 Brush Noise를 감지하도록 하였고, R, C 충 방전 시정수에 의한 정밀시간 제어 방법으로 모터의 열화현상을 최소화하였다. 그리고 스위칭 소자로 반도체 소자인 MOSFET를 사용함으로써 동작의 안정성과 수명의 한계를 극복할 수 있는 제어장치를 설계하였다. 연구결과 모터의 반복 동작시간, Cut-off Time, 동작전압 범위, 전원 발생 노이즈 등에서 최대 11배 이상 향상된 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Control strategy and corresponding parameters have significant impacts on the overall technical and economic characteristics of composite energy storage systems (CESS). A better control strategy and optimized control parameters can be used to improve the economic and technical characteristics of CESS, and determine the maximum power and stored energy capacity of CESS. A novel coordinated control strategy is proposed considering the coordination of various energy storage systems in CESS. To describe the degree of coordination, a new index, i.e. state of charge coordinated response margin of supercapacitor energy storage system, is presented. Based on the proposed control strategy and index, an optimization model was formulated to minimize the total equivalent cost in a given period for two purposes. The one is to obtain optimal control parameters of an existing CESS, and the other is to obtain the integrated optimal results of control parameters, maximum power and stored energy capacity for CESS in a given period. Case studies indicate that the developed index, control strategy and optimization model can be extensively applied to optimize the economic and technical characteristics of CESS. In addition, impacts of control parameters are discussed in detail.

본 논문에서는 BCD 공정 기반으로 PMIC용 고신뢰성 24비트 듀얼 포트(dual port) eFuse OTP 메모리를 설계하였다. 제안된 dynamic pseudo NMOS 로직회로를 이용한 프로그램 데이터 비교회로는 program-verify-read 모드에서 프로그램 데이터와 read 데이터를 비교하여 PFb(pass fail bar) 핀으로 비교 결과를 출력한다. 그래서 한 개의 PFb 핀만 테스트하므로 eFuse OTP 메모리가 정상적으로 프로그램 되었는지를 확인할 수 있다. 그리고 program-verify-read 모드를 이용하여 프로그램된 eFuse 저항의 변동을 고려한 가변 풀-업 부하(variable pull-up load)를 갖는 센싱 마진 테스트 회로를 설계하였다. Magnachip $0.35{\mu}m$ BCD 공정을 이용하여 설계된 24비트 eFuse OTP 메모리의 레이아웃 면적은 $289.9{\mu}m{\times}163.65{\mu}m$($=0.0475mm^2$)이다.

Purpose: Elastofibroma is a rare benign tumor that is characterized histologically by the presence of abnormal elastic fibers within a stroma of fibroadipose tissue. Usually it is slow-growing, solid, ill-defined mass occurring chiefly in elderly woman and arising from the soft tissue around the inferior angle of the scapula. Methods: We experienced a representative case of elastofibroma. A 73-year-old women complained of a soft-tissue mass, which measured $6{\times}6cm$, at the inferior angle of the left scapula, which had been found incidentally 4 months before. When the arm was elevated, the mass projected out beneath the scapula. The entire mass was resected with a tumor-free margin. Results: The resected tumor appeared to be nonencapsulated, fibrous and white mass, and it contained yellow fatty streaks. We confirmed that the histopathologic diagnosis of this tumor was elastofibroma. Follow-up examination revealed no evidence of local recurrence for 10 months. Conclusion: This entity is rarely reported in Korea. However, more patients could be diagnosed if physicians pay more careful attention to clinical and radiological features of elastofibroma. Moreover, recognizing the benign nature of this lesion is important to avoid an unnecessary operation.

Purpose: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans(DFSP) is a moderate - degree malignant tumor of soft tissue from dermis to fat layer with high recurrences(11% to 73%) due to its local infiltrative characteristic. Many debates and controversies in deciding accurate surgical margin were presented before, but references about depth of invasion and appropriate surgical excision level were not properly made out. Therefore, we tried to identify the degree of tissue invasion of DFSP. Methods: Twenty patients, including 8 patients with recurrent lesions, over last 10 years were reviewed retrospectively. Different surgical margins were applied according to the location and based on histopathologic result, we have defined as a 'deep tissue invasion' if there were infiltration of tumor cell into fascia or underlying muscle layer was present. All invaded tissue including dermis, fat, fascia and muscle were excised until no tumor cell was found during intraoperative frozen section biopsy. And comparative analysis of deep tissue invasion according to age, primary site, duration of disease and recurrence was done. Results: Thirteen patients(65%) showed deep tissue invasion and incidence was found to be increasing with age(over 30 years old). All patients with DFSP on head and neck region revealed deep tissue invasion followed by trunk(54%) and lower extremities(50%). There was no relationship between duration of disease and deep tissue invasion. Conclusions: It is clear that many cases of DFSP had a deep tissue invasion. And high prevalence of deep tissue invasion with age, primary site was intimately associated. So, underlying deep tissue must be completely examined and excised sufficiently throughout the operation for clear resection of DFSP with no recurrences, especially when age is over 30s and on head and neck region.

This study is to improve the efficiency of BTL (Build Transfer Lease) project operation by comparing the infiltration rate based on the data of 5 years of infiltration of the separate sewer system and combined sewer system. In the survey site, the separate sewer system area consists of eight flowmeters in seven treatment basins, and the combined sewer system area consists of eight flowmeters in five treatment basins. The infillration rate was analyzed by night-time domestic flow evaluation method, and the average infiltration rates of the separate sewer system and combined sewer system were 13% and 16%, respectively. Combined sewer system was about 1.3 times higher than the separate sewer system. The average BOD of separate sewer system was 233 mg/L, which was about 2.4 times higher than the combined sewer system was 107 mg/L. In the comparison of the average pipe diameter-length infiltration of separate sewer system and combined sewer system, the separate sewer system and the combined sewer system were about 0.150 ㎥/d/mm/km and about 0.109 ㎥/d/mm/km, respectively. The floating population in mixed residential and commercial areas has been identified as the cause. Therefore, we propose a method to calculate the infiltration rate in consideration of the margin ratio in the area where the night active population is concentrated.

This study was designed to introduce free toe tissue transfer using infiltration method of local anesthetic agent. Four toe pulp tissues were transferred to reconstruct finger tip defect in four patients who were not suitable for general anesthesia. Two flaps taken from the lateral side of the great toe was used for reconstruction of thumb defect and two flaps from the medial side of the second toe for resurfacing of the index and fifth finger. Flap sizes were various from $2.0{\times}2.0\;cm^2$ to $1.6{\times}4.0\;cm^2$. Anesthesia was induced by infiltration of 2% lidocaine hydrochloride (with 1:100,000 epinephrine) with dilution of normal saline in same volume unit, as like as in ordinary digital block. All vessels were anastomosed within 2 cm of distance from the proximal margin of the defect. Whole operative procedures were carried out by one team. All flaps were successfully taken without complication. The average operation time was 4 hours 10 minutes. The amount of anesthetic agent used in whole operative procedures was roughly 4 mL in the toe, 8 mL in the finger, and 12 mL totally. In conclusion, free toe tissue transfer using infiltration method of local anesthetic agent would be good strategy for finger tip reconstruction in the patient not suitable for general anesthesia.

본 연구는 위치지정 중첩 화상표시 구동방식에서 표시방전 유지펄스의 휴지기간 폭에 대한 방전특성을 실험한 것이다. 실험결과, 표시방전은 벽전하 뿐만 아니라 공간전하의 영향도 강하게 받는다는 것을 알았다. 휴지기간 바로 다음에 나오는 첫 번째 표시방전은 휴지기간에 대한 의존도가 높으며 두 번째 표시방전은 의존도가 매우 낮았다. 첫 번째 표시방전이 다소 불충분해도 어느 정도이상 벽전하가 축적되기만 하면 두 번째 표시방전은 안정적으로 유도될 수 있으나 공간전하의 영향을 고려하면 휴지기간의 폭은 $30[{\mu}s}]$ 이내가 바람직하다. 또한 휴지기간의 폭이 $30[{\mu}s}]$까지는 약 12[V]의 균일한 표시방전 전압의 동작마진을 얻을 수 있었다.
