PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to conduct inter-rater and intra-rater reliability tests in patients with low back pain (LBP) using the prone instability test (PIT) and side-lying instability test (SIT). We have analyzed the Korean version Oswestry disability index (K-ODI) correlations and radiograph finding (RF) for validity. METHODS: Individuals (n = 51) (mean age of 40.27 ± 13.28) with LBP for at least over a week were recruited, together with two participating physical therapist examiners. The measurement consisted of PIT, PST, K-ODI, and RF. Sensitivity (Sn), specificity (Sp), positive predictive value, negative predictive value, prevalence index, agreement %, Cohen's kappa, and prevalence-adjusted bias-adjusted kappa (PABAK) were calculated. The PIT and SIT were compared with RF for validity analysis, while PIT, SIT, K-ODI, and RF were calculated for the correlation analysis. RESULTS: The intra-rater reliability test measured for the PIT (kappa = .79, PABAK = .88) and SIT (kappa = .73, PABAK = .84), and inter-rater reliability test measured for the SIT (kappa = .80, PABAK = .88) showed good agreements. The PIT (Sn = .65, Sp = .63) and SIT validities (Sn = .68, Sp = .70) were compared with RF, showing a significant correlation in PIT and RF (r = .69), SIT and RF (r = .73), and PIT and K-ODI (r = .53). CONCLUSION: The SIT is a more comfortable position test than the PIT in patients. Both PIT and SIT have acceptable reliability and validity.

Fault detection using optical emission spectra with modified K-means cluster analysis and principal component anal ysis are demonstrated for inductive coupl ed pl asma cl eaning processes. The optical emission spectra from optical emission spectroscopy (OES) are used for measurement. Furthermore, Principal component analysis and K-means cluster analysis algorithm is modified and applied to real-time detection and sensitivity enhancement for fluorocarbon cleaning processes. The proposed techniques show clear improvement of sensitivity and significant noise reduction when they are compared with single wavelength signals measured by OES. These techniques are expected to be applied to various plasma monitoring applications including fault detections as well as chamber cleaning endpoint detection.

The trimethylamine-sensing characteristics of ZnO based thin film semiconductors and the sensitivity enhancement by squttering conditions have been investigated to develop a new type sensor for detecting fish freshness. The sensor fabricated with a 300nm of ZnO thin film with 4 wt% Al sub(2) O sub(3) and 1 wt% TiO sub(2) exhibited the highest sensitivity of 155 at 30$0^{\circ}C$ of working temperature and to the 240 ppm TMA gas. Deposition of ZnO thin film using a RF magnetron sputter was carried out at a pressure of 10 super(-2) Torr in pure oxygen gas with an RF power of 100W. The sensor exhibited a large response to the actual gases produced by a mackerel at an early stage of decomposition.

Radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting technology have become a reliable and promising alternative to extend the lifetime of power-constrained wireless networks by eliminating the need for batteries. This emerging technology enables the low-power wireless devices to be self-sustaining and eco-friendly by scavenging RF energy from ambient environment or dedicated energy sources. These attributes make RF energy harvesting technology feasible and attractive to an extended range of applications. However, despite being the most reliable energy harvesting technology, there are several challenges (especially power conversion efficiency, output DC voltage and sensitivity) poised for the implementation of RF energy harvesting systems. In this article, a detailed literature on RF energy harvesting technology has been surveyed to provide guidance for RF energy harvesters design. Since signal strength of the received RF power is limited and weak, high efficiency state-of-the-art RF energy harvesters are required to design for providing sufficient DC supply voltage to wireless networks. Therefore, various designs and their trade-offs with comprehensive analysis for RF energy harvesters have been discussed. This paper can serve as a good reference for the researchers to catch new research topics in the field of RF energy harvesting.

In this paper, we present results of this that design of the multi-layer VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator), which is composed of the resonation circuit and the oscillation circuit, using EM simulator and nonlinear RF circuit simulator. EM simulator is used for acquiring EM(Electromagnetic) characteristics of conductor pattern as well as designing multi-layer VCO, Acquired EM characteristics of the circuit pattern was used like real components at nonlinear RF circuit simulator. Finally VCO is simulated at nonlinear RF circuit simulator. The material for the circuit pattern was Ag and the dielectric was DuPont #9599, which is applied for L TCC process. The structure is constructed with 4 conducting layer. Simulated results showed that the output level was about 1[dBm], the phase noise was 102 [dBc/Hz] at 30[kHz] offset frequency, the harmonics -8dBc, and the control voltage sensitivity of 30[MHz/V] with a DC current consumption of l0[mA]

Superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) is a sensitive detector of magnetic flux signals. Up to now, the main application of SQUIDs has been measurements of magnetic flux signals in the frequency range from near DC to several MHz. Recently, cryogenic low-noise radio-frequency (RF) amplifiers based on DC SQUID are under development aiming to detect RF signals with sensitivity approaching quantum limit. In this paper, we review the recent progress of cryogenic low-noise RF amplifiers based on SQUID technology.

논문에서는 전자파(EMFs) 측정을 위한 광대역 3축 등방성 안테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. 제안된 3축 안테나의 각축에 따른 개별 안테나는 등방성 특성을 가지며, 임의의 안테나 축을 선택하기 위하여 RF 스위치를 사용하였다. 또한, 안테나의 이득 개선 및 잡음성분을 억제하기 위하여 각 축에 저항을 삽입하였고, 각 다이폴 안테나의 포트 임피던스는 발룬을 사용하여 정합하였다. 안테나의 성능 검증을 위하여, 표준전자기장을 만들어주는 GTEM Cell를 사용하여 antenna factor 및 수신감도를 도출하였다. 결과적으로, 제작된 3축 등방성 안테나는 0.03~3 GHz의 넓은 동작주파수 범위 내에서 수신감도 0.12~4.2 mV/m, VSWR(typical)은 3.3:1 이하이다.

In this work, Ga doped ZnO (GZO) films were prepared by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering without intentional substrate heating on glass substrate and then the effect of the intense electron irradiation on structural and electrical properties and the NOx gas sensitivity were investigated. Although as deposited GZO films showed a diffraction peak for ZnO (002) in the XRD pattern, GZO films that electron irradiated at electron energy of 900 eV showed the higher intense diffraction peaks than that of the as deposited GZO films. The electrical property of the films are also influenced with electron's energy. As deposited GZO films showed the three times higher resistivity than that of the films irradiated at 900 eV In addition, the sensitivity for NOx gas is also increased with electron irradiation energy and the film sensor showed the proportionally increased gas sensitivity with NOx concentration. This approach is promising in gaining improvement in the performance of thin film gas sensors used for the detection of hazard gas phase.
