Background: The hyoid bone is the only non-jointed structure among the skeletal tissues of the head and neck region, and its movement and posture depend on the attached muscle, ligament, and fascia. The location of the hyoid bone is important for airway maintenance, vocalization, chewing, swallowing, breathing, and head and scapular position. In general, the location of the hyoid bone is measured using radiographs and 3D computed tomography, and no studies have reported on clinical measurement methods. Objects: This study was performed to suggest clinical measurement methods for lateral deviation of the hyoid bone and to evaluate their reliability. Methods: In this study, 24 healthy volunteers (12 males, 12 females) in Cheongju-si participated. Two examiners performed the center point test and lateral motion test twice each to measure the lateral displacement of the hyoid bone. The reliability of the center point test was analyzed using intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC), and the reliability of the lateral motion test was analyzed using Cohen's kappa coefficient. Results: The intra-rater reliability of the center point test was good, and the inter-rater reliability was moderate. The intra- and inter-rater reliability of the lateral motion test showed substantial reliability. Conclusion: Based on these results, the center point test and the lateral motion test can be used as an alternative methods of the measurement of lateral deviation of the hyoid bone for people who have musculoskeletal disorders of the head, neck, and scapula.

암반구조물 설계를 위한 지반조사에서 지하 암반에 분포된 불연속면들의 방향성 파악은 시추공 내부에 대한 영상촬영 기법에 전적으로 의존되어 왔다. 그러나, 공내 영상촬영은 고가의 장비가 요구되며 시추작업 완료 후 측정작업이 추가로 소요되어 극히 제한적으로 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 시추조사시 간편하게 불연속면의 방향을 측정하여 신뢰성 있는 지반정보 자료를 제공할 수 있는 Discontinuity Orientation Measurement (DOM) 시추장비 및 불연속면 분포해석 모델 RoSA-DOM을 개발하였다. DOM 시추 장비에서 기 설정된 방향성을 지시하는 기준선이 표시된 시추 코어가 회수되면 코어 상의 절리 단면에서 측정된 3개 지점의 자표를 이용하여 절리면의 경사방향 및 경사각을 산정한다. 또한 코어 축이 절리면을 관통하는 지점의 좌표를 산정하여 절리 위치를 설정한다. 절리군 형성은 clustering algerian을 활용하여 분석한다. 코어 축을 조사선으로 설정하여 전체 절리 간격 및 군 간격을 해석한다. 전체 시추구간 및 특정 구역에서의 RQD를 산정하여 암반의 공학적 활용도 고찰을 위한 기본 자료를 도출한다.

eLoran에서의 항법 성능을 결정하는 주요 오차요인은 수신기의 eLoran 측정치인 TOA 측정치 오차와 수신기와 송신국들 사이의 기하학적인 배치(GDOP)에 의한 오차로 구분할 수 있다. TOA 측정치의 오차 보정을 위해서는 dLoran 기준국에서 측정한 ASF 변동값을 LDC를 통해 이용자에게 제공하면 가능하다. 또한 송신국들의 기하학적 배치에 따른 위치측정 정확도는 DOP로 결정되며 송신국의 최적의 기하적인 배치는 항법 정확도를 향상시킨다. 본 연구에서는 eLoran 구축에 대비하여 우수한 항법 성능을 갖는 데 필요한 eLoran 송신국의 기하학적인 배치를 결정하였고, 최대 6 개까지 송신국을 배치할 경우에 대해 각각의 항법 성능을 평가하였다. 제안된 eLoran 송신국 배치 방안은 항만에서 항법 및 시간주파수 와 관련하여 요구하는 HEA 정확도를 만족하는 eLoran 시스템을 구축할 때에 활용될 수 있다.

3D 기술은 초기의 붐 이후 점차 느리게 확산되고 있다. 그 원인 중 하나로 현재 3D 입체 영상을 시청할 수 있는 디스플레이가 주로 안경을 사용하며 그 때문에 사용 환경이 제한적이라는 점을 들 수 있다. 이런 측면에서 본 연구에서는 기존에 주로 연구되었던 안경식 디스플레이가 아닌 휴대용 무안경식 3D 디스플레이를 대상으로 기존에 잘 연구되지 않았던 지각적 크로스톡과 입체 시각 피로를 측정하고 그 결과를 모형화 하였다. 그 결과 휴대용 무안경식 3D 디스플레이의 수평 위치에 따라 지각되는 크로스톡이 체계적으로 변화한다는 것을 확인하였다. 측정된 크로스톡은 화면 중심부에서 상대적으로 낮았으나 좌/우측으로 이동함에 따라 급격하게 증가하는 현상을 보였으며, 이런 변화 경향성은 입체 시각 피로 및 불편감 측정 과정에서도 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 무안경식 디스플레이를 설계하고 평가하는 과정에서 지각적 요소를 고려하는 것이 필요함을 시사한다.

The author obtained individualized lateral cephalometric tomograms from 23 young adults (46 of left and right normal TMJ) with normal occlusion and 20 patients (14 of patient asymptomatic TMJ and 26 of patient symptomatic TMJ) with clicking and painful TMJ after the analysis of submental vertex view. Individualized lateral cephlometric tomogram analysis and TMJ space analysis were performed after tracing each film. All data from these analysis was recorded and statistically processed with CYBER computer system. 1. The results were obtained as follows. In submental vertex view, the mean condylar angulation of Rt. side in normal group was 20.348°±6.358°, Lt. side was 18.870°±7.777° and Rt. side in patient group was 19.350°±7.576° Lt. side was 17.750°±6.146° respectively. The mean condylar angulation of Rt. side was larger than Lt. side in normal and patient group. 2. When the mandible was moved from centric occlusion to centric relation, condylar position relating to the glenoid fossa was placed posteriorly and superiorly in normal TMJ group and patient symptomatic TMJ group. 3. In centric relation position, the proportion of anterior space to posterior space was 1.593 for normal TMJ group, 1.604 for patient asymptomatic TMJ group and 1.671 for patient symptomatic TMJ group. In centric occlusion position, 1.390 for normal TMJ group, 1.539 for patient asymptomatic TMJ group and 1.196 for patient symptomatic group. Normal TMJ group, patient asymptomatic TMJ group and patient symptomatic TMJ group and patient symptomatic TMJ group revealed significant difference in ∠C₂ measurement. (ANOVA-test, p<0.05) 5. Normal group and patient group revealed significant difference in Fh, ∠C₁and ∠C₂ measurement. (T-test, p<0.05) 6. There were strong positive correlation (0.8771) between Fp and Fm, and strong negative correlation (-0.9039) between ∠C₂ and ∠C₁ from the lateral cephalometric tomogram analysis.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of linear measurements in the horizontal and vertical dimensions based on object position and slice inclination in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Materials and Methods: Ten dry sheep hemi-mandibles, each with 4 sites (incisor, canine, premolar, and molar), were evaluated when either centrally or peripherally positioned within the field of view (FOV) with the image slices subjected to either oblique or orthogonal inclinations. Four types of images were created of each region: central/cross-sectional, central/coronal, peripheral/cross-sectional, and peripheral/coronal. The horizontal and vertical dimensions were measured for each region of each image type. Direct measurements of each region were obtained using a digital caliper in both horizontal and vertical dimensions. CBCT and direct measurements were compared using the Bland-Altman plot method. P values <0.05 were considered to indicate statistical significance. Results: The buccolingual dimension of the incisor and premolar areas and the height of the incisor, canine, and molar areas showed statistically significant differences on the peripheral/coronal images compared to the direct measurements (P<0.05). Molar area height in the central/coronal slices also differed significantly from the direct measurements (P<0.05). Cross-sectional images of either the central or peripheral position had no marked difference from the gold-standard values, indicating sufficient accuracy. Conclusion: Peripheral object positioning within the FOV in combination with applying an orthogonal inclination to the slices resulted in significant inaccuracies in the horizontal and vertical measurements. The most undesirable effect was observed in the molar area and the vertical dimension.

In operation room, the use of the C-arm unit is increasing. So, the radiation dose of the person who work in operation room was even more increased than before. Thus, this study is shown the measurement of expose dose and the way for decrease of the radiation dose by using the C-arm unit. The experiment was performed with the C-arm unit and used a phantom which is similar to tissue of the human body and fluoro-glass dosimeter for dose measurement. The expose dose were measured by the tube position(over tube, under tube) of the C-arm unit, distance(50, 100$\sim$200cm), direction(I, II, III, IV), runtime(1min, 3min), wearing of the apron. The radiation dose was decreased twice and three times at under tube rather than over tube. The I direction was measured 20$\sim$30% more than the others. The biggest expose dose is 50cm from center on distance. The expose dose is decreased to far from center. In case of Wearing of the apron, the radiation dose was decreased 60$\sim$90% by the distance. But there weren't change of the radiation dose by C-arm tube position. In present, by increasing the usage of the C-arm unit, the radiation dose is inevitable. So, this study recommends us to use the under tube of the C-arm unit. Also, Wearing of the apron is required for minimum of the radiation exposure.

This paper proposes a novel velocity estimator for long-term underwater navigation of autonomous underwater vehicles(AUVs). Provided that an external position fix is not given, a viable goal in designing a underwater navigation algorithm is to reduce the divergence rate of position error only using the sporadic velocity information obtained from Doppler velocity log(DVL). For such case, the performance of underwater navigation eventually depends on accuracy and reliability of external velocity information. This motivates us to devise a velocity estimator which can drastically enhance the navigation performance even when the DVL measurement is unavailable. Incorporating the Gertler-Hagen hydrodynamics model of an AUV with the measurement models of velocity and depth sensors, the velocity estimator design problem is resolved using the extended Kalman filter. Different from the existing methods in which an AUV simulator is regarded as a virtual sensor, our approach is less sensitive to the model uncertainty often encountered in practice. This is because our velocity filter estimates the simulator errors with sensor aids and furthermore compensates these errors based on the indirect feedforward manner. Through the simulations for typical AUV navigation scenarios, the effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated.

The celestial navigation is one of alternatives to GPS system and can be used as a backup of GPS. In the celestial navigation system using more than two star trackers, the vehicle's ground position can be solved based on the star trackers' attitude information if the vehicle's local vertical or horizontal angle is given. In order to determine accurate ground position of flight vehicle, the high accurate local vertical angle measurement is one of the most important factors for navigation performance. In this paper, the Earth geophysical deflection was analyzed in the assumption of using the modern electrolyte tilt sensor as a local vertical sensor for celestial navigation system. According to the tilt sensor principle, the sensor measures the tilt angle from gravity direction which depends on the Earth geoid surface at a given position. In order to determine the local vertical angle from tilt sensor measurement, the relationship between the direction of gravity and the direction of the Earth center should be analyzed. Using a precision orbit determination software which includes the JGM-3 Earth geoid model, the direction of the Earth center and the direction of gravity are extracted and analyzed. Appling vector inner product and cross product to the both extracted vectors, the magnitude and phase of deflection angle between the direction of gravity and the direction of the Earth center are achieved successfully. And the result shows that the angle differences vary as a function of latitude and altitude. The maximum 0.094$^{circ}$angle difference occurs at 45$^{circ}$latitude in case of 1000 Km altitude condition.

Background: Abdominal bracing exercise (ABE) and abdominal hollowing exercise (AHE) improve the lumbar flexibility and pulmonary function in various patients, yet the efficacy of ABE or AHE have not yet been evaluated. Objects: The purpose of this study was to compare the lumbar flexibility and pulmonary function during both ABE and AHE in healthy adults. Methods: The study included 40 healthy adults, who were randomly divided into the experimental group and control group, each with 20 subjects. All subjects performed ABE (experimental group) and AHE (control group). The lumbar flexibility such as trunk flexion test (sitting and standing position) and schober test and pulmonary function such as the spirometer including forced vital capacity (FVC) and force expiratory volume in one second ($FEV_1$) and chest circumference measurement (middle and lower chest) were measured, respectively. Two-way repeated analysis of variance was used to compare the lumbar flexibility and pulmonary function, respectively. Results: No significant effects of lumbar flexibility were observed on trunk flexion test from the sitting position (P=.478) and standing position (P=.096) in the ABE than in the AHE. However, the length of ABE was longer significantly than it of AHE (P=.024). No significant effects of lung function were observed on the FVC (P=.410) and $FEV_1$ (P=.072) in the ABE group than in the AHE group. And also, no significant effects of chest circumference measurement were observed on the inspiration (P=.468) and expiration (P=.563) in middle chest circumference and inspiration (P=.104) and expiration (P=.346) in lower chest circumference. Conclusion: This study indicated that the ABE is only more effective in lumbar flexibility by lumbar length difference than AHE in healthy adults.
