Purpose: Panoramic radiographs taken using conventional chin-support devices have often presented problems with positioning accuracy and reproducibility. The aim of this report was to propose a new bite block for panoramic radiographs of anterior edentulous patients that better addresses these two issues. Materials and Methods: A new panoramic radiography bite block similar to the bite block for dentulous patients was developed to enable proper positioning stability for edentulous patients. The new bite block was designed and implemented in light of previous studies. The height of the new bite block was 18 mm and to compensate for the horizontal edentulous space, its horizontal width was 7 mm. The panoramic radiographs using the new bite block were compared with those using the conventional chin-support device. Results: Panoramic radiographs taken with the new bite block showed better stability and bilateral symmetry than those taken with the conventional chin-support device. Patients also showed less movement and more stable positioning during panoramic radiography with the new bite block. Conclusion: Conventional errors in panoramic radiographs of edentulous patients could be caused by unreliability of the chin-support device. The newly proposed bite block for panoramic radiographs of edentulous patients showed better reliability. Further study is required to evaluate the image quality and reproducibility of images with the new bite block.

현재 GPS 위성항법시스템은 모두 32기의 Block IIA, Block IIR, Block IIR-M 위성으로 운용되고 있으며 12기의 Block IIA 위성은 15년 이상 된 것들이다. 열악한 우주 환경 속에서 장기간 사용된 위성은 고장이 발생하기도 하고, 특히 정밀한 위치와 시각 제공을 위해 탑재된 원자시계의 노후로 인하여 이상 현상이 발생 하기도 한다. 최근 IGS에서 제공하고 있는 Ultra-rapid 위성 시계 예측 정보의 정확도 성능이 떨어지고 있는데, Block IIA 위성 세슘 시계가 외부 환경이나 온도 변화에 쉽게 영향을 받아 안정된 원자시계의 성향을 보이지 않기 때문이다. 이런 노후 된 위성시계의 이상 현상은 GPS를 이용하는 응용분야에서 위치 성능의 저하를 수반한다. 따라서 노후 된 위성 시계의 성질과 이상 현상 등을 살펴보고 이를 감지 및 극복할 수 있는 기술 현황을 소개한다.

UWB (Ultra Wide Band) 무선 측위에서 정화한 위치 정보를 추정하기 위해서는 무선 측위 과정에서 발생하는 오차를 보상하기 위한 알고리즘이 반드시 필요하다. 이러한 무선 측위 오차를 보상하고 정확한 위치 정보 추정이 가능한 Scanning 기법은 동일한 태그 위치에 대한 무선 측위를 반복하여 얻을 수 있는 위치 정보 후보군의 무게중심 점을 찾는 기법으로 처리 구조가 비교적 간단하고 정확한 위치 정보를 추정할 수 있는 장점이 있지만, 측위용 비콘 범위 내의 scanning 좌표들을 하나하나 탐색하고 연산해야하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 Scanning 기법의 높은 연산량을 줄이기 위해 유전자 알고리즘 (Genetic Algorithm)과 블록 윈도잉 (Block Windowing)의 적용 방안을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법의 성능 검증을 위하여 IEEE 802.15.4a TG에서 제시한 채널 환경에서 얻은 거리 인지 오차 (ranging error) 정보를 사용하였으며, 모의실험 결과를 통하여 낮은 연산량으로도 기존 Scanning 기법의 위치 추정 정확도에 근사할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Background: Severe pain associated with proximal femur fractures makes the positioning for regional anesthesia a challenge. Systemic administration of analgesics can have adverse effects. Individually, both the fascia iliaca block (FIB) and femoral nerve blocks (FNB) have been studied. However, there is little evidence comparing the two. The aim of this study was to compare the overall efficacy of the two blocks in patients with proximal femur fracture before positioning for spinal anesthesia. Methods: ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) class I, II, and III patients scheduled for elective and emergency surgery with the diagnosis of proximal femur fracture between October 2018 and June 2019 were included in the study. The patients were assigned to two groups by convenience nonprobability sampling of 35 each. Results: Our study showed a reduction in visual analogue scale scores at 3, 4, and 5 minutes after administration of the FIB being 5.1 ± 1.1, 4.1 ± 1.3, and 2.8 ± 0.8, and those after the FNB as 4.4 ± 1.1, 3.3 ± 1.1, and 2.1 ± 1.4 with P < 0.05, which was statistically significant. The mean first rescue analgesia time for the FIB was 7.1 ± 2.1 hours, while for the FNB it was 5.2 ± 0.7 hours. The P value was less than 0.001, which was significant. Conclusions: Both ultrasound guided FNB and FIB techniques provide sufficient analgesia for patient's positioning before spinal anesthesia. However, the duration of postoperative analgesia provided by FIB was greater than that of the FNB.

In the shipbuilding industry, accuracy management is one of the keys for strengthening competitiveness. However, ship block errors are unavoidable in the block erection stage because of the deformation of the blocks. Currently, accuracy managers decide whether or not block corrections are needed, based on measured and designed point data. They adjust the locations of hull blocks so that the blocks are aligned with other assembly blocks based upon the experience of production engineers. This paper proposes an optimization process that can adjust the locations of ship blocks during the erection stage. A genetic algorithm is used for this optimization scheme. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method is discussed using several case studies. We found that the proposed method can find the optimized re-alignment of erection blocks, as well as improve the productivity of the erection stage.

This paper proposes the application of sensor technology to assemble ship blocks efficiently. A sensor-based monitoring system is designed and implemented to improve shipbuilding productivity by reducing the labor cost for the adjustment of adequate positioning between ship blocks during pre-erection or erection stage. For the real-time remote monitoring of relative distances between two ship blocks, sensor nodes are applied to measure the distances between corresponding target points on the blocks. Highly precise positioning data can be transferred to a monitoring server via wireless network, and analyzed to support the decision making which needs to determine the next construction process; further adjustment or seam welding between the ship blocks. The developed system is expected to put to practical use, and increase the productivity during ship blocks assembly.

항공사진측량에 의한 지도제작과 미지점의 정확한 위치결정은 매우 경제적인 방법이나 외부표정요소를 구하기 위해서는 기준점이 필요하다. 번들조정기법의 성능향상과 횡스트립의 설치로 블럭조정에 요구되어지는 기준점의수가 감소되었음에도 불구하고 기준점 측량은 비용면에서 무시할 수 없는 부분이다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 연구된 동적 DGPS-위치결정에 의한 GPS-항측은 처음 가능성을 보인 이래 계속 발전되어 오고 있다. 위성배치의 완료, 수신기의 기능 향상 및 동적 DGPS-위치결정을 위한 S/W의 향상 등으로 결합블럭조정의 정확도도 크게 증가하고 있다. 따라서 GPS-항측의 실용화에 대한 연구가 보다 절실히 요청되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구의 대상지는 60%의 횡중복도와 횡스트립으로 촬영하여 광산지역의 지반침하를 조사하기 위하여 실시되었다. 단지 6개의 기준점만을 사용한 결합블럭조정으로도 21개의 수평기준점과 81개의 연직기준점을 사용한 재래식 블럭조정과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 GPS에 의한 노출점의 위치와 블록조정의 정확도는 지상 수신기준점의 거리와는 무관하였으며 결합블럭조정시 정오차 소거를 위한 특별한 모형식이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

A GNSS receiver must perform signal acquisition to estimate the code phase and Doppler frequency of the incoming satellite signals, which are essential information for baseband signal processing. Modernized GNSS signals have different modulation schemes and long PRN code lengths from legacy signals, which makes it difficult to acquire the signals and increases the computational complexity and time. This paper proposes a novel FFT/Inverse-FFT with baseband resampling to resolve the aforementioned challenges. The suggested algorithm uses a single block only for the FFT and thereby requires less hardware resources than conventional structures such as Double Block Zero Padding (DBZP). Experimental results based on a MATLAB simulation show this algorithm can successfully acquire GPS L1C/A, GPS L2C, Galileo E1OS, and GPS L5.

In a ship block logistics application, acquisition of locations is required in order to identify location of the ship blocks. A Smart device equipped with a GPS sensor can be used as a mobile client for a ship block logistics application. However the precision of GPS components on a commercial smart device is not high enough. Therefore, using the GPS for localization may produce significant positioning errors in a ship block logistics system. This paper proposes a method to reduce errors in measuring locations using a smart device. Based on the knowledge of how the location information is used in a ship block logistics application, and the predictability of the client's moving line based on geographical layout of a shipyard area, our proposed technique enables a better prediction of the ship blocks location. Performance evaluation shows that the proposed technique can significantly reduce the positional error.
