For the patients with bladder dysfunction, measurement of urine volume inside the bladder is very critical to avoid bladder failure. In measuring urine volume inside a bladder, low-resolution 3D ultrasound images are widely used. However, urine volume estimation from 3D ultrasound images is prone to big errors and inconsistency because of low spatial resolution and low signal-to-noise ratio of ultrasound images. We developed a new robust volume estimation algorithm which is not computationally expensive. We tested the algorithm on a lab-built ultrasound bladder phantom and volunteers. The average error rate of the human bladder volume estimation was 5.9% which was better than the commercial machine.

The surface texturing technology is one of the methods to improve the efficiency of crystalline silicon solar cell. This process reduced the reflectance at the surface by the so-called double bounce effect and increased the light trapping. Among these surface texturing technology, the laser texturing is effective for multi-crystalline silicon solar cells which have random crystallographic directions. We investigated the characteristics of laser processing on the surface of the multi-crystalline silicon solar cells using the fiber laser.

위성화상 또는 항공사진을 이용하여 산화지를 탐지하고 정량화하기 위한 여러 가지 방법적인 시도가 있었다. 보다 정확한 산화지 탐지를 위해, 본 연구에서는 기존의 고해상도 범색화상과 중 저해상도 다중분광 화상의 융합(fusion)에 주로 이용되었던 IHS(Intensity, Hue, Saturation) 색채변환을 산화지 탐지와 정량화에 적용하였다. IHS 색채변환을 이용한 Hue 조합화상의 산화지 최대우도분류 결과는 Landsat-7 ETM+ 7:4:1 조합화상보다 놀은 사용자분류 정확도를 나타냈으며 색상(Hue)과 채도(Saturation)가 명도(Intensity)에 비해 ETM+ 화상의 분광특성을 잘 반영하였다.

본 논문에서는 지능형 Dimming Converter의 새로운 구조 및 설계 방법론을 소개하고 일련의 수치적인 실험을 통하여 제안된 모델 및 시스템을 평가한다. 기존의 형광 램프용 디밍 전자식 안정기는 전용의 디밍 IC를 사용하여 전자식 안정기 대비 최대 83%의 램프 및 안정기의 수명 연장을 가능하게 했다. 하지만 이러한 장점은 사용자가 디밍컨트롤 스위치를 통하여 수동으로 제어를 해야 하는 불편함 뿐만 아니라, 수동 제어가 불가능 할 경우 에너지 절약과 램프의 수명 연장의 실효를 얻을 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 간략추론 방식을 사용한 지능이론(Fuzzy Inference System)을 전자식 안정기에 접목하여 지능형 Dimming Converter 기반 전자식 안정기에 대한 연구 및 외부조도 조건과 사용자 설정에 따른 에너지 절약을 도모하는데 중점을 두었다. 마지막으로 제안된 시스템의 하드웨어에 지능 모델을 적용함으로써 기존 전자식 안정기와 성능평가를 통해 제안된 지능형 Dimming Converter의 우수성을 보인다.

In this paper, we consider the change point problem in diusion processes based on discretely observed sample. Particularly, we consider the change point test for the dispersion parameter when the drift has unknown parameters. In performing a test, we employ the cusum of squares test based on the residuals. It is shown that the test has a limiting distribution of the sup of a Brownian bridge. A simulation result as to the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process is provided for illustration. It demonstrates the validity of our test.

Credibility models are actuarial tools to distribute premiums fairly among a heterogeneous group of policyholders. Many existing credibility models can be expressed as special cases of linear mixed effects models. In this paper we propose a nonlinear credibility regression model by reforming the linear mixed effects model through kernel machine. The proposed model can be seen as prediction method applicable in any setting where repeated measures are made for subjects with different risk levels. Experimental results are then presented which indicate the performance of the proposed estimating procedure.

A 68-year-old man with small cell carcinoma of the lung and adenocarcinoma of the prostate underwent Tc-99m MDP bone scintigraphy for the evaluation of skeletal metastases. Bilateral symmetrical photon defects in both parietal bones of the skull were observed. The radiographs of the skull demonstrates biparietal thinning in the same area of the abnormality identified on bone scintigraphy. Although these findings in cancer patients can be mistaken for skeletal metastases, the symmetry and location of the photon defects are generally indicative of biparietal thinning.

A 59-year-old man with thymic carcinoma underwent Tc-99m MIBI myocardial SPECT, and Tc-99m MIBI uptake in the mass was unexpectedly found in a planar image. SPECT images of the thorax showed an increased uptake area with central photon deficiency (a ring-like appearance), which reflected central tumor irreversible ischemia or progressing necrosis with peripheral viable tumor tissue.
