Purpose: The purpose of this study is to report the results of culture test at the time of removal of metal devices used for management of ankle fractures and for analysis of contributing factors. Materials and Methods: We reviewed medical records of 132 patients with lower tibia and ankle fracture who had their metal devices removed during the period from January 2010 to February 2014. Patients with clinical signs of infection were excluded. Culture test was performed by taking the granulation tissue around the metal device at the time of removal. We divided the subjects into two groups, culture positive and negative. We then performed a retrospective review of each medical record of multiple factors that might contribute to the culture results, including laboratory results, medical history, material and size of metal device, indwelling period, and whether or not it was open injury. Results: Among 132 cases, six were culture positive. Enterococcus was detected in two cases and the others were Staphylococcus. No significant difference in medical history of patients and laboratory results, including C-reactive protein level, was observed between the culture positive and negative group. Culture positive rate was 5.4% in titanium and 3.9% in stainless steel. In terms of metal size, culture positive rate was 5.1% in small plates, 6.7% in large plates, and culture negative in intramedullary nails. The average indwelling period of metal device was 61.5 weeks in the culture positive group, and 68.6 weeks in the negative group. Nine cases were open fractures and all were in the culture negative group. Conclusion: Whether or not the culture result was positive, there were no meaningful contributing factors. Presence of bacterium on the metal device could not be screened by any laboratory results or other factors.

본 연구에서는 MBR 공정 내 폭기조에서 순산소 용해와 일반 공기 폭기의 효율에 대한 비교·평가를 통해 순산소의 MBR 공정 적용성에 대해 평가 하였다. 순산소 장치에 의한 유기물 및 암모니아 산화 여부에 대해 평가하였으며, 실폐수(음식물류 폐기물의 혐기성소화 유출수) 적용 과포화산소용해 효율 평가를 진행하였다. 순산소용해와 일반공기폭기 방법의 SCOD, 암모니아 제거율과 속도는 비슷하였다. 하지만, 순산소 용해에 의한 미생물 수율이 일반공기폭기법에 의한 미생물 수율보다 약 0.03 g MLSS-produced/g SCOD-removed 낮아 잉여슬러지 처리 비용이 감소될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다. 음식물류 폐기물의 혐기성 소화 유출수의 고농도 유기물 (4,000 mg/L) 및 암모니아 (1,400 mg/L)의 제거율을 순산소용해와 일반공기폭기법을 비교한 결과, 순산소 용해기가 일반공기폭기법에 비해 유기물 제거율이 약 13% 가량 더 높게 평가되었다. 또한, MLSS의 경우 일반공기폭기법이 순산소장치에 비해 0.3배가량 높았다. 이는, 순산소장치의 경우 폭기조 내에 용존산소가 충분히 유지, 공급되기 때문에 슬러지 자산화가 고도로 진행된 결과로 판단되었다. 따라서, 고농도 유기물을 함유한 폐수 처리를 위한 방법으로는 기존에 많이 사용되었던 일반공기폭기법보다 순산소장치를 활용하는 것이 경제적인 면에서 더 유리할 것으로 판단되었다.

This study presents the development of an integrated oil purification system consisting of moisture removal, oil flushing, and oil filtering devices. In this system, the oil flushing device is combined with a micro-bubble generator. Oil purification is necessary for ensuring the high performance of the lubricant through the efficient removal of contaminants and thus enables good maintenance of mechanical systems. The developed purification system removes moisture, varnish, and solid particles. Moreover, during oil purification, the oil flushing device separates foreign materials and contaminants remaining in the lubricating oil piping or mechanical systems. The microbubble generator, which is combined with the oil flushing device, can separate harmful contaminants, such as sludge, wear particles, and rust, from piping or lubrication systems through the cavitation effect. Moisture is removed using a double high-vacuum chamber, while sludge and varnish are removed via electro-absorption using a high-voltage generator. Additionally, the total maintenance cost of the system is reduced through the use of domestically fabricated cartridge filters composed of glass fiber and cellulose. The heater, which maintains the temperature of the lubricant at 60℃, can process 41,000 L of lubricant simultaneously. Multiple tests confirmed that the proposed integrated purification system exhibits good performance in oil flushing and removal of water and varnish.

Particulate matter (PM) is designated as a group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization (WHO). In South Korea, the health threat caused by PM is the most serious level internationally. Therefore, in order to solve the urban PM problem, it is important to develop the technology that can control PM efficiently. In this study, CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation was performed for PM pre-filter (type 1-3 with different PM collecting room) to develop a high-efficiency PM collecting device. The complex flow field and the local flow phenomenon inside the PM collecting device were understood with CFD simulation by changing the shape and size of the pre-filter. The PM removal performance can be described with flow rate through the device and PM removal efficiency. The type-1 pre-filter with 5x5 size collecting room was confirmed to have the highest efficiency. Based on the analysis results, the optimal type of pre-filter could be developed and it would be applied as an element technology included in the PM collecting device.

In this study, the rise throughput and the stability in fabrication of device can be obtained by applying of CMP process to STI structure in 0.18um semiconductor device. To employ in STI CMP, the reverse moat process has been added thus the process became complex and the defects were seriously increased. Removal rates of each thin films in STI CMP was not equal hence the devices must to be effected, that is, the damage was occured in the device dimension in the case of excessive CMP process and the nitride film was remained on the device dimension in the case of insufficient CMP process than these defects affect the device characteristics. To resolve these problems, the development of slurry for CMP with high removal rate and high selectivity between each thin films was studied then it can be prevent the reasons of many defects by reasons of many defects by simplification of process that directly apply CMP process to STI structure without the reverse moat pattern process.

As the channel length of device shrinks below $0.13{\mu}m$, CMP(chemical mechanical polishing) process got into key process for global planarization in the chip manufacturing process. The removal rate and non-uniformity of the CMP characteristics occupy an important position to CMP process control. Especially, the post-CMP thickness variation depends on the device yield as well as the stability of subsequent process. In this paper, every wafer polished two times for the improvement of oxide CMP process characteristics. Then, we discussed the removal rate and non-uniformity characteristics of post-CMP process. As a result of CMP experiment, we have obtained within-wafer non-uniformity (WIWNU) below 4 [%], and wafer-to-wafer non-uniformity (WTWNU) within 3.5 [%]. It is very good result, because the reliable non-uniformity of CMP process is within 5 [%].

In this study, the improved throughput and stability in device fabrication could be obtained by applying CMP process to STi structue in 0.18 um semiconductor device. To employ the CMP process in STI structure, the Reverse Moat Process used to be added after STI Fill, as a result, the process became more complex and the defect were seriously increased than they had been,. Removal rate of each thin film in STI CMP was not uniform, so, the device must have been affected. That is, in case of excessive CMP, the damage on the active area was occurred, and in the case of insufficient CMP nitride remaining was happened on that area. Both of them deteriorated device characteristics. As a solution to these problems, the development of slurry having high removal rate and high oxide to nitride selectivity has been studied. The process using this slurry afford low defect levels, improved yield, and a simplified process flow. In this study, we evaluated the 'High Selectivity Slurry' to do a global planarization without reverse moat step, and also we evaluated EPD(Eend Point Detection) system with which 'in-situ end point detection' is possible.
