In the design and construction of the coastal/offshore structures, it is very important to evaluate the geotechnical characteristics of marine soils, which support the structures. Although the offshore site investigation is much more difficult than onshore, safe and precise jobs have not been accomplished in Korea because of the insufficiency of the test equipments especially for the site with deep water depth. The main objective of this study is to develop a new type of marine cone penetration testing(CPT) system, which can be utilized to even deep sea and high depth of soil layer. The system is one of seabed types and employs the conventional cone, which shows more reliable results than miniature cone. The most important parts of the marine CPT including continuous rod system, cone penetration system with wheel drive, automatic cone rod assembly/dissembly system etc., were designed and manufactured. Some tests to verify the developed marine CPT system were performed at both onshore and offshore sites as well as mechanical test in laboratory. The test results show the consistent and promising performance of the new equipment, and thereafter the system would be applicable to various sites with practical/economical advantages.

Purpose: This study provides comparative measurements of absorbed and effective doses for newly developed cone beam computed tomography (CT) in comparison with these doses for conventional CT. Materials and Methods: Thermoluminescent dosimeter rods (TLD rod: GR-200, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) were placed at 25 sites throughout the layers of Male ART Head and Neck Phantom (Radiology Support Devices Inc., Long Beach, USA) for dosimetry. Implagraphy, DCT Pro (Vatech Co., Hwasung, Korea) units, SCT-6800TXL (Shimadzu Corp., Kyoto, Japan), and Crane x 3+(Soredex Orion Corp., Helsinki, Finland) were used for radiation exposures. Absorption doses were measured with Harshaw 3500TLD reader (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). Radiation weighted doses and effective doses were measured and calculated by 2005 ICRP tissue weighting factors. Results: Absorbed doses in Rt. submandibular gland were 110.57 mGy for SCT 6800TXL (Implant), 24.56 mGy for SCT 6800TXL (3D), 22.39 mGy for Implagraphy 3, 7.19 mGy for DCT Pro, 5.96 mGy for Implagraphy 1, 0.70 mGy for Cranex 3+. Effective doses $(E_{2005draft)$ were 2.551 mSv for SCT 6800TXL (Implant), 1.272 mSv for SCT 6800TXL (3D), 0.598 mSv for Implagraphy 3, 0.428 mSv for DCT Pro and 0.146 mSv for Implagraphy 1. These are 108.6, 54.1, 25.5, 18.2 and 6.2 times greater than panoramic examination (Cranex 3+) doses (0.023mSv). Conclusion: Cone beam CT machines recently developed in Korea, showed lower effective doses than conventional CT. Cone beam CT provides a lower dose and cost alternative to conventional CT, promising to revolutionize the practice of oral and maxillofacial radiology.

본 논문에서는 다중 로봇 시스템에서 물체와 로봇 팔끝 간에 접촉 마찰이 존재할 때 이 로봇 시스템의 조작도를 해석하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 로봇이 물체를 떨어뜨리지 않고 잡고 있으려면, 로봇이 물체에 가하는 힘 벡터가 friction cone 내부에 존재 해야만 한다. 이러한 friction cone 내부를 나타내는 식은 일반적으로 비선형 형태로 되어 있기 때문에 기존의 조작도 분석 방법에 이 식을 구속 조건으로 적용하기가 쉽지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 friction cone 내부를 다각뿔로 근사함으로써 선형적인 구속 조건으로 표현하였다. 또한 선행 연구에서 찾지 못했던 부분을 새롭게 찾아내었다. 그리고 다중 로봇 시스템에 조작도를 나타내는 물체 중심의 가속도를 구하기 위해서, 먼저 선형계획법을 통해서 허용 가능한 토크의 영역을 구하였다. 이 토크의 영역을 선형 변환을 통해 최종적으로 물체의 최대 가속도의 영역을 구하였다. 본 방법의 타당성을 입증하기 위해서 두 대로 구성 된 다중 로봇 시스템과 PUMA560 로봇 시스템에 적용하였다.

This study was performed to design and to construct a digital soil cone index(CI) measuring device replacing conventional analog type devices. The device developed in the study consisted of a load cell, a rotary encoder and a motor with a decelerator as its main parts. The cone speed was controlled lower than 3.0 m/s which keeps the standard suggested by the ASABE S313.3 specification. The experiment was conducted in a soil bin system as well as in various fields. The CI data measured by the developed device were compared with those by an existing measurement device(SC900, Spectrum, USA). Based on the experiments at various field conditions, the CI measuring characteristic of the device was quite similar to that of the conventional device within a acceptable $R^2$ range of more than 0.5(mean=0.76). It was concluded that the digital cone index measuring device was an effective and comprehensive sensor for measuring soil strength.

Introduction: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has various advantages and is used favorably in many fields in dentistry. Especially, CBCT is being used as basic diagnostic tool for 3-dimensional analysis in orthognathic patient. Two-dimensional cephalograms can be synthesized from CBCT digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) data. In this study, conventional cephalograms and CBCT were taken simultaneously, and representative landmarks were located and analyzed in its accuracy and reproducibility. Materials and Methods: Ten patients who had orthognathic surgery in Wonkwang University Daejeon Dental Hospital participated in this study. For each patient, CBCT and conventional cephalogram was taken. By using Ondemand (Cybermad, Korea), 2-dimensional cephalograms was established on CBCT. In addition, 19 landmarks were designated and measured by 3 orthodontists twice a week. After these landmarks were transferred to a coordinate, distance of landmark and axis, standard error, distribution degree were measured, compared and analyzed. Results: Comparing the CT ceph group and conventional cephalogram group, CT ceph group had shown shorter distance of landmark and axis in S, Hinge axis, Bpt, Ba, Or, Corpus left. Standard error of the mean shows that CT ceph group has better reproducibility in Or, Corpus left, Hinge axis at X axis and Na, U1R, U1T, Bpt, PNS, Ba Corpus left, Hinge axis at Y axis. In both groups, mean error was less than 1.00 mm, no significant difference were found between CT ceph group and conventional cephalogram group in all measurements. Furthermore, comparing two groups, each 17 landmarks out of 19 had its characteristic in distribution degree. Conclusion: No significant difference were found between CBCT composed cephalographic radiograph and conventional cephalograghic radiograph, clinical application may be possible if improved.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess cone-beam computed (CBCT) sialography imaging in the detection of different changes associated with lesions of salivary glands. Materials and Methods: This study consisted of 8 cases with signs and symptoms from salivary gland lesions. Conventional sialography using digital panoramic and lateral oblique radiographs and CBCT sialography were performed for each subject. The radiographs were evaluated by 3 radiologists independently of each other. The results were compared between conventional sialography and CBCT sialography in the evaluation of various lesions associated with the salivary glands. Results: There was an agreement between the radiologists in interpreting the lesions that affected salivary glands with both techniques. The detection of the presence of stones or filling defects, stenosis, ductal evagination, dilatation, and space occupying lesions was 83% for conventional sialography compared with CBCT sialography. CBCT sialography was superior to conventional sialography in revealing stones, stenosis, and strictures, especially in the second and third order branches. Conclusion: It would be advisable to perform CBCT sialography in cases of obstructive salivary gland diseases for better demonstration of the ductal system of the gland.

본 연구에서는 콘 장비를 강관말뚝 중공에 설치함에 따른 말뚝의 거동을 분석하기 위해 축소 모형실험을 진행하였다. 콘 장비를 항타하여 설치 할 경우 먼저 강관 내부에 유입되는 관내토의 높이를 수치상으로 확인 할 수 있으며, 이를 통해 플러깅을 예측하여 플러깅에 따른 말뚝의 거동을 분석 할 수 있다. 또한 물리적인 항타 에너지로 지반의 강성과 강도를 증가 시켜 지지력을 상승 시킬 것으로 기대된다. 강사 장치를 이용하여 상대밀도 90%의 지반을 조성하고 거칠기가 다른 두 강관말뚝을 항타높이를 200mm와 500mm로 나누어 근입깊이 600mm까지 설치한다. 그리고 콘 장비의 유무에 따라 총 8가지 케이스를 나누어 말뚝의 지지력을 분석하였다. 말뚝의 항타높이, 말뚝의 거칠기, 콘 장비의 유무에 따른 세 가지 변수 중 항타높이가 약 70%로 지지력에 미치는 영향이 가장 컸으며 다음으로 콘 장비의 유무가 약 40%, 말뚝의 거칠기가 약 21%로 나타났다.
