RF 신호 강도인 RSSI(Received Signal Strength indication)를 이용해 지역화를 하는 방법론이나 알고리즘은 많이 연구되어 왔다. 그러나 대다수의 연구에서 추가적인 장비를 요구하거나, 복잡한 시스템 환경을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 무선랜 환경을 사용할 수 있는 노트북에서, Windows 기반의 802.11의 RSSI를 이용해 지역화를 수행하였다. IEEE 802.11의 네트워킹 구성을 한 센서노드들 중에 AP(Access Point) 역할을 하는 한 개의 고정노드(Anchor)를 중심으로 다수의 움직일 수 있는 모바일 노드들의 위치를 추적해가는 방법이며, Anchor가 많아지거나 모바일 노드가 늘어나면 지역화의 정확도는 증가하게 된다. 이 방법은 일반적인 802.11의 무선랜 환경이 가능한 랩톱에서도 쉽게 적응이 가능하며, 부가적인 장비의 의존성이 전혀 없고 소프트웨어 적인 방법론으로 해결하였다. 또한 지역화가 가능함과 동시에 각각의 센서 노드들은 802.11을 이용한 데이터 송수신이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 MS의 Windows 플랫폼 기반으로 테스트하였고, 효과적으로 Beacon 패킷을 송출하기 위한 해법을 제시한다.

$\underline{Purpose}$: To develop a wireless CCTV system in semi-beam's eye view (BEV) to monitor daily patient setup in radiation therapy. $\underline{Materials\;and\;Methods}$: In order to get patient images in semi-BEV, CCTV cameras are installed in a custom-made acrylic applicator below the treatment head of a linear accelerator. The images from the cameras are transmitted via radio frequency signal (${\sim}2.4\;GHz$ and 10 mW RF output). An expected problem with this system is radio frequency interference, which is solved utilizing RF shielding with Cu foils and median filtering software. The images are analyzed by our custom-made software. In the software, three anatomical landmarks in the patient surface are indicated by a user, then automatically the 3 dimensional structures are obtained and registered by utilizing a localization procedure consisting mainly of stereo matching algorithm and Gauss-Newton optimization. This algorithm is applied to phantom images to investigate the setup accuracy. Respiratory gating system is also researched with real-time image processing. A line-laser marker projected on a patient's surface is extracted by binary image processing and the breath pattern is calculated and displayed in real-time. $\underline{Results}$: More than 80% of the camera noises from the linear accelerator are eliminated by wrapping the camera with copper foils. The accuracy of the localization procedure is found to be on the order of $1.5{\pm}0.7\;mm$ with a point phantom and sub-millimeters and degrees with a custom-made head/neck phantom. With line-laser marker, real-time respiratory monitoring is possible in the delay time of ${\sim}0.17\;sec$. $\underline{Conclusion}$: The wireless CCTV camera system is the novel tool which can monitor daily patient setups. The feasibility of respiratory gating system with the wireless CCTV is hopeful.

Co fine particles were dispersed in Au metal and $AlO_x$ amorphous matrices by vacuum evaporation and rf-sputtering, respectively, thus forming granular composite films having chemical compositions of $Co_{0.59}-Au_{0.41}$ and $Co_{0.52}/(AlO_x$)_{0.48}$. The films were annealed at 200~$500^{\circ}C$ to increase the size of the Co particles, from 30$\AA$ to 180$\AA$ in the Au matrix and 40$\AA$ to 180$\AA$ in the $AlO_x$ matrix, as revealed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The Co metal in as-deposited films have saturation magnetization equivalent to that of bulk Co, which is unchanged by the annealing, showing that the Co metal is not oxidized by the annealing. Magneto-optical Kerr rotation measured at $\lambda$=400-900nm for the $Co_{0.59}-Au_{0.41}$ film as deposited is larger than that calculated for the composition. The rotation increases as the film is annealed at $200^{\circ}C$ and $300^{\circ}C$, approaching to that of bulk Co. The Kerr rotation for the $Co_{0.52}-(AlO_x)_{0.48}$ film as deposited is smaller than that calculated for the composition based on Bruggeman effective medium theory. However, the rotation increases much, exceeding the rotation of the bulk Co as annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$. As a possible origin of the marked magneto-optical enhancement a weak localization of light in granular structure is suggested.
