Objective: The aim of this study was to determine cephalometric factors that help predict favorable soft-tissue profile outcomes following treatment with the Class II Twin-block appliance. Methods: Pre- and post-treatment lateral cephalograms of 45 patients treated with the Class II Twin-block appliance were retrospectively analyzed. Profile silhouettes were drawn from the cephalograms and evaluated by three orthodontists in order to determine the extent of improvement. Samples were divided into a favorable group (upper 30% of visual analogue scale [VAS] scores, n = 14) and an unfavorable group (lower 30% of VAS scores, n = 14). Skeletal and soft-tissue measurements were performed on the cephalograms and an intergroup comparison was conducted. Results: An independent t-test revealed that the following pre-treatment values were lower in the favorable group compared to the unfavorable group: lower incisor to mandibular plane angle, lower incisor to pogonion distance, point A-nasion-point B angle, sella-nasion line (SN) to maxillary plane angle, SN to mandibular plane angle, gonial angle, and symphysis inclination. The favorable group had a larger incisor inclination to occlusal plane. Moreover, the favorable group showed larger post-treatment changes in gonial angle, B point projection, and pogonion projection than did the unfavorable group. Conclusions: Class II malocclusion patients with a low divergent skeletal pattern and reduced lower incisor protrusions are likely to show more improvement in soft-tissue profile outcomes following Class II Twin-block treatment.

본 논문에서는 지하에 매설된 통신 관로를 레이저 투영 영상 분석에 의해 검사하는 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 레이저 다이오드, 발광 다이오드와 카메라로 구성된 장비가 관내에 직접 투입되며, 레이저 다이오드는 관벽에 투영 영상을 생성하고 발광 다이오드는 내부 조명 장치로 사용되며, 카메라는 관로 영상을 획득한다. 카메라에서 전달된 다양한 조건의 관로 영상에 대해 투영 영역을 정확히 분할하기 위하여, 새로운 객차 모델과 다중 임계치 기법을 이용한다. 분할된 투영 고리의 형상은 최소 직경과 푸리에 표기자에 의해 표현하여 관로의 상태를 규칙에 기반하여 분류한다. 국부적인 최소 직경과 전역적인 푸리에 표기자를 모두 사용하므로 파손된 관로, 찌그러진 관로 등의 다양한 조건에서 높은 분류 성능을 나타낼 수 있으며, 여러 상태의 영상에 대한 실험 결과는 2% 미만의 오분류로 높은 성능을 나타냈다.

Noncontact measuring methodology of 3-dimensional profile using CCD camera are very attractive because of it's high measuring speed and it's high sensitivity. Especially when projecting a grid pattern over the object, the captured image have 3 dimensional information of the object. Projection moire extract 3-D information with another grid pattern in front of CCD camera. However phase measuring profilometry(PMP) obtain similar results without additional grid pattern. In this paper, the projection moire are compared with the PMP mathematically, and it is shown that PMP can generate moire image with simple mathematical computations. Experimental works are also carried out showing the same results. It is shown that using a single gird pattern, moire image can be obtained directly without any mathematical operation when some conditions are satisfied.

This paper presents an enhanced method of slit beam projection intended for the rapid measurement of 3-dimensional surface profiles of dies and molds. Special emphasis is given to optimizing the design of optical system so that the measuring accuracy can be maximized by adopting two-plane camera calibration together with sub-pixel image processing techniques. Finally, several measurement examples are discussed to demonstrate that an actual measuring accuracy of $\pm$ 0.2 mm can be achieved over the measuring range of 500 mm{\times}300mm{\times}200mm$.

An optical measurement method of three dimensional surface profiles which is named the slit beam projection is suggested and practically implemented. This method is intended especially for noncontact and fast digitization of sculptured surfaces for CAD modeling and die manufacturing. Its basic principles are based on geometric optics. Deatiled optical principles and an sub-pixel image processing technique to enhance the measuring resolutions are described in this study. The measuring performances of the slit beam projection are presented and discussed to demonstrate that an actual measuring accuracy of below .+-. 0.2mm can be achived over the whole measuring range(500mm*300mm*200mm)

We have carried a theoretical study on e-beam addressed liquid crystal projection display in which the liquid crystal is switched by the electric field of the charge, produced by an electron beam, on the surface of the display. We calculated the electric field produced by the surface charge, the liquid crystal director configuration and the profile of the transmitted light. We studied the factors affecting the resolution of the display. We also studied the effect of pretilt angle on the performance of the display. The e-beam addressed liquid crystal projection display potentially has the advantages of high resolution and high brightness.

대형 디스플레이 화면에 대한 소비자의 선호도가 증가함에 따라 3관식 프로젝션 (projection) 텔레비전의 수요가 늘고 있다. 그러나 3관식 HD (high definition) 프로젝션 TV에서는 직시형 CRT (Cathode Ray Tube)를 사용하는 TV보다는 단위 면적당 절대 밝기가 어둡다. 또한 프로젝션 TV에 사용되는 인광체의 색재현 영역 (gamut)이 기존의 NTSC (National Television System Committee) 표준과 다른 것을 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 3관식 프로젝션 HDTV의 RGB 인광체 좌표와 RGB 빔 전류비의 관계를 색온도 변화에 대하여 해석하고, 전류비에 따른 빔 프로파일의 변화에 의한 영상의 열화와 시각 특성인 Helmholtz-Kohlrausch 효과를 고려하여 시청자가 느끼는 밝기를 최대화하기 위한 기준 백색 (reference white)의 범위를 제안하였다.

High levels for noise and a loss of true signal make the quantitative interpretation of nuclear medicine (NM) images difficult. An application of profile optimization using a sigmoidal function in this study was used to acquire the NM images with high quality. And the images were acquired by using three kinds of reconstruction method using each same sinogram: a standard filtered back-projection (FBP), an iterative reconstruction (IR) technique, and the sigmoidal function profile optimization (SFPO). Comparison of image according to reconstruction method was performed to show a superiority of the SFPO for imaging. The images reconstructed by using the SFPO showed an average of 1.49 times and of 1.17 times better in contrast than the results obtained using the standard FBP and the IR technique, respectively. Higher signal to noise ratios were obtained as an average of 12.30 times and of 3.77 times than results obtained using the standard FBP and the IR technique, respectively. This study confirms that reconstruction with SFPO (vs FBP and vs IR) can lead to better lesion detectability and characterization with noise reduction. It can be developed for future reconstruction technique for the NM imaging.

Recently Moire and PMP(Phase Measuring Profilometry) are adopted as a practical methodology for non-contact 3-D measurement of free surface. These methods extract the 3-D informations from the images of the object projected with stripe-pattern light. This paper presents a simple projector generating stripe-pattern light using expensive polygon mirror. In this projector, slit-beam is generated with a Laser diode and a rod lens and the laser diode is switched on/off synchronizing with the rotation of the polygon mirror. So its structure is very simple and light-weighted compared to the existent projection methods using several lenses and it is also easy to change the pitch and the phase of the stripe pattern. Experimental results show that the intensity profile of the stripe pattern can be approximated with sinusoidal curve by reducing the pitch of the stripe pattern.
