We developed a variety of polymeric jelly phantoms that can be used in hyperthermia using an electromagnetic wave as an auxiliary cancer therapy. Particularly, using an appropriate material composed of polyethylene, deionized water, and sodium chloride, jelly phantoms for brain was prepared. Also, their electrical properties were characterized by measuring the dielectric constant and conductivity. As the results, overall electrical values of the phantoms decreased with increasing the amount of the components of the materials, excepted for sodium chloride. Additionally, storage characteristics of the phantoms showed a sustainable stability up to 6 months. Based on the experimental results, it can be proposed that jelly phantoms containing a ferro-magnetic particle could be a potential material for cancer therapy following the further study on the temperature elevation effect and the evaluation of electromagnetic properties of the materials.

Objectives: This study was performed to observe the correlations between the results of ABR-2000 and DSOM / 3D-MAC to evaluate the feasibility of ABR-2000 as a oriental medical diagnostic criteria. Methods: We studied 547 women visiting ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ hospital from December 2012 to June 2015. The subjects were categorized in two groups, 'Hypotonia' and 'Non-Hypotonia' by the result of ABR-2000 and assessed the result of DSOM, 3D-MAC for each group. The differences of pulse wave factors by group also studied. Results: 1. There was no significant difference between two groups about the output frequency of pathogenic factors in DSOM while the result showed the higher correlation in Hypotonia group in terms of the companion tendency of pathogenic factors and syndromes formed by the combination of pathogenic factors. 2. The pulse waves of Hypotonia group were mostly slow, weak, tense and stiff than Non-Hypotonia group. Conclusions: 1. In Hypotonia group, yin deficiency (陰虛) factor was frequently accompanied and consumption (虛損) of various organs based on the yin deficiency (陰虛) was observed. It means chronic and severe condition of exhaustion syndrome (虛勞). 2. The result of 3D-MAC also means pathological feature of yin syndrome (陰 證) and consumption (虛損). Besides, lower scores of Body Surface Area (BSA), body weight, and Body Mass Index (BMI) were associated with body weakness (體瘦), a symptom of exhaustion syndrome (虛勞).

Recently, the RF inductive discharge or inductively coupled plasma continues to attract growing attention as an effective plasma source in many industrial applications, the best known of which are plasma processing and lighting technology. To the point of lighting sources, the ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamps utilizing an inductively coupled plasma have been objects of interest and research during the last decades, mainly because of their potential for extremely long life, high lamp efficacies, rapid power switching response. In this paper, maxwell 3D finite element analysis program (Ansoft) was used to obtain electromagnetic properties associated with the coil and nearby structures. The electromagnetic emitting properties were presented by 3D simulation software operated at 250 kHz and some specific conditions. The electromagnetic field in the ferrite core was shown to be high and symmetric. An LS-100 luminance meter and a Darsa-2000 spectrum analyzer were used in the experiment. According to data on the lamp tested using high magnetic field ferrite, the optical and thermal wave fields were shown to be high around the ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamp. The optical or light field was high at the center of the bulb rather than around the ferrite core. The light conditions of the bulb were assumed to be complex, depending on the condition of the filler gas, the volume of the bulb, and the frequency of the inverter. Our results have shown coupling between the gas plasma and the field of the light emitted to be nonlinear.

In this paper, ultrasonic images of 25MHz bandwidth were acquired by applying peak value variation, time average and depth profile algorithm to acoustic microscopy and its performance was compared and analysed with each other. In the time average algorithm, total reflecting pulse wave from a spot on the coin was converted to digital data in time domain and average value of the converted 512 data was calculated in computer. Time average image was displayed by gray levels colour of acquired N x N matrix average data in the scanning area on the sample. This technique having smoothing effects in time domain make developed an ultrasonic image on a highly scattering area. In depth profile technique, time difference between the reference and the reflected signal was detected with minimum resolution performance of 2ns, thus we can acquired real 3 dimensional shape of the scanning area in accordance with relative magnitude. Through these experiments, peak value, time average and depth profile images were analysed and advantages of each algorithm were proposed.

This work describes an 8b 200 MHz 0.18 urn CMOS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) based on a pipelined architecture for flat panel display applications. The proposed ABC employs an improved bootstrapping technique to obtain wider input bandwidth than the sampling tate of 200 MHz. The bootstrapuing technique improves the accuracy of the input sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA) and the fast fourier transform (FFT) analysis of the SHA outputs shows the 7.2 effective number of bits with an input sinusoidal wave frequency of 500 MHz and the sampling clock of 200 MHz at a 1.7 V supply voltage. Merged-capacitor switching (MCS) technique increases the sampling rate of the ADC by reducing the number of capacitors required in conventional ADC's by 50 % and minimizes chip area simultaneously. The simulated ADC in a 0.18 um n-well single-poly quad-metal CMOS technology shows an 8b resolution and a 73 mW power dissipation at a 200 MHz sampling clock and a 1.7 V supply voltage.

Effect of a finite square substrate plane on the radiation characteristics of a microstrip patch antenna is investigated. Effect of a finite square substrate plane on the resonance frequency and bandwidth is very small, while that on the radiation pattern is very large. The gain of front radiation and the direction of the maximum gain vary almost periodically with the length of a square substrate plane. The length of a square substrate plane for the maximum gam and the minimum gain of front radiation decrease as the electrical thickness of a substrate increases. The variation of the gain of front radiation with the length of a square substrate plane increases as the electrical thickness of a substrate increases. The variation of the radiation pattern with the length of a square substrate plane is almost determined by the electrical thickness of a substrate.

The radio wave propagation characteristics of the transmitter and receiver position change in the indoor environment were predicted through simulation, then the results obtained through the transmission loss measurement were compared and analyzed with the simulation results. The conference room was chosen as the environment for measuring transmission loss, and the radio transmission characteristics of the two environments were compared by selecting the exhibition hall without interior decorations and fixtures. In each indoor environment, the position of the transmitter chose two cases. One located in the center of the front wall and the other in the center of the side wall, and the position of the receiver moved along the centerline of the conference room and the side wall, measuring the receiving power. For each change in transmitter-receiver position, received power of 3GHz and 6GHz band were measured and compared with the simulation forecast results. The changes in received power at each receiving point were analyzed according to the location of the transmitter and the frequency band variation.

In this paper, we propose the method to solve the BLT equations using Laguerre polynomials in time domain. The solution of BLT equations is obtained by recursive, differential and integral properties of Laguerre polynomials. The verification of the proposed method is tested by applying it to the two-wired transmission line with resistors and capacitors, which is illuminated by the electromagnetic plane wave pulse. And the result is compared with the corresponding transient responses obtained from inverse fast Fourier transform(IFFT) of the frequency domain solutions of BLT equations.
