정보 통신 기술의 발달이 인간 생활에 많은 편리함을 가져다 주었지만 개인의 정보 유출이나 소음 공해 등의 여러 가지 문제점도 야기 시켰다. 특히 휴대 전화 통화시 사용자의 개인적인 정보들이 공공 장소에서 그대로 노출이 되고, 또 그러한 통화로 인해서 타인에게 소음 피해를 주기도 한다. 이러한 병폐를 막기 위해서 휴대 전화 사용자는 최대한 작은 소리로 통화를 하되, 상대방에게 의도하고자 하는 바를 확실히 전달하여야 한다. 그러기 위해서는 휴대 전화에 근접 통화가 가능해야 하며, 일정한 방향의 방향성을 가져서 주위의 잡음에 대해 독립적으로 작동하도록 해야한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기능을 향상시키기 위하여 음향학적 이론을 바탕으로 휴대전화에 사용되어지는 마이크로폰을 새로 설계, 제작하고 그 성능을 시험하였다. 아주 작은 소리로 근접 통화를 할 때 발생하는 팝핑(popping) 현상이 최소한이 되도록 미세관 배열을 적용하였으며, 외부 소음 영향을 줄이기 위하여 방향성을 증폭시키고자 음원의 위치에 초점을 맞추는 기술을 적용하였다. 방향성 증폭은 4개의 마이크로폰 사용과 근거리 음원의 방향성 증가를 위한 신호 처리기술을 적용하였다. 이 기술의 적용 효과를 실험을 통하여 검증할 수 있었다.

정전기력을 이용하는 마이크로가속도계 센서는 단결성 실리콘 SOI(Silicon On Insulator) 웨이퍼의 기판에 절전재료 적층과 등방성 및 이방성 부식공정으로 제작한다. 마이크로가속도 센서 개발에는 3차원 미소구조체의 제작공정에서 가열 및 냉각공정의 온도구배로 야기되는 포핑업과 같은 열변형 해석이 최적 형상설계에 중요한 요건이다. 본 연구에서는 양자역학적 현상인 턴널링전류 원리로 승용차 에어백의 검침부 역할을 하는 마이크로가속도 센서의 제조공정에서 소착현상을 방지하는 부가 비임과 턴널갭의 FIB 절단가공과 백금 적층공정의 열적 거동을 해석한다. 마이크로머시닝 공정에서 온도의존성을 고려하여 연성해석하고 유한요소법의 상용코드인 MARC K6.1로 분석한 결과를 단결정 실리콘 웨이퍼로 가공하는 마이크로가속도 센서의 최적공정 및 형상설계를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Temporomandibular disorders typically present findings of limited or asymmetric patterns of jaw opening and joint sounds usually described as clicking, popping, grating, or crepitus. Recently, patients with temporomandibular disorders have received an increasingly aggressive treatment with a greater emphasis on surgical and dental reconstruction. Scientific studies have not clearly identified the specific causes of the temporomandibular disorders and therefore some of the treatments are empiric, without a firm scientific foundation. We carried out a study on the patients of pain clinic OPD and concluded that the causes of the temporomandibular joint(TMJ) pain are the prolonged contraction of the muscles of mastication, especially the masseter muscle. Therefore, the spasmolytic treatment of masseter muscle would be a better treatment for TMJ syndrome rather than the surgical and dental reconstruction.

A PSV (pressurizer safety valve) popping test carried out in the early phases of a refueling outage may trigger a test-induced LOCA(loss of coolant accident) if a PSV fails to fully close and is stuck in a partially open position. According to a KSNP (Korea standard nuclear power plant) low power and shutdown PSA (probabilistic safety assessment), the failure of a high pressure safety injection (HPSI) accompanied by the failure of a PSV to fully close was identified as a dominant accident sequence with a significant impact on low power and shutdown risks (LPSR). In this study, we aim to investigate and verify a new means for mitigating this type of accident using a thermal-hydraulic analysis. In particular, we explore the applicability of an aggressive cool-down combined with operator actions. The results of the various sensitivity studies performed there will help reduce LPSR and improve Refueling outage safety.

Temporomandibular joint disorder is quite common dental problem. Research has shown that 5 to 15$\%$ of the population have a TMJ disorder requiring some type of treatment. TMJ disorder's symptoms are pains in the jaw and muscles of your face, limitation of opening or closing jaw and noises in jaw joint such as clicking or popping sounds. Two patients with TMJ symptoms visited our clinic. They complained pain, limitation of jaw opening and clicking sound. We treated them by stimulating trigger points on the TMJ muscle with acupuncture and had a good effects. The symptoms is reduced or disappeared.

The information technology brought us many kinds of conveniences to our life, but it also caused social problems such as privacy interference, unexpected personal information leaks, and nose generation by telephonic talks, etc. In this paper, the microphone system of the cellular phone is developed to prevent these problems caused by progress of information technology. The developed system was designed to detect only acoustic signals from a human being in the presence of various kinds of background noises. A windscreen was designed by use of micro-channels to eliminate the popping noise by the wind from the mouth of a speaker and four microphone array and signal processing techniques are applied to reduce background noise. The impact of the developed system was evaluated by experimental tests. The results show that the system can improve the required functions considerably.

Recently developed black waxy rice with a giant embryo ('Nunkeunheukchal', BGE) was selected and processed to produce high quality nutritional food. BGE contains high levels of several phytochemicals with antioxidant activities, as well as other reported health beneficial properties. In addition, the giant embryo has high protein, lipid, and amino acids contents. Within the free amino acids, ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a major inhibitory neurotransmitter, has long been used for treating the aftereffects of brain injuries and stroke. A method for manufacturing pop-rice and black rice tea by popping process in BGE is provided to increase a taste, nutrition and functionality. The produced 'pop-rice' showed increased protein (11.3%) and lipid (3.7%) contents compared with control variety, IB ('Ilmibyeo'). In addition, melanoidin related products, polyphenol and functional amino acid contents were increased by the popping process. Pop-rice tea made of BGE showed the highest extraction of total sugar, glucose, raffinose and sucrose (4 times higher than brown rice) by hot water. Scavenging activity ($SC_{50}$) of processed BGE rice powder showed strong antioxidative activity of 0.24 mg/ml using DPPH and 1.82 mg/ml using ABTs method. Thereafter, these results suggested that the popping processed rice of BGE could be one of the promising materials for healthy food development.

Nowadays rolling stock has become a fast and convenient transportation and increased in its demands. But the improvement of speed has result in increase of aerodynamic noise and therefore residential districts near by the railroad are now constantly suffering from the racket. Thus the study regarding rolling stock's environmental noise measurement and appraisal has become important. The case of environmental noise, there are no changes of tone so prediction can be made by reducing areas around the railway. This is part of the study which estimates the noise around the railway using scaled model, and the source of the noise has been researched on. The scaled model of rolling stock will have to be able to make high frequency and it needs to be spread out in a short amount of time. When popping a balloon or firing a gun fits its condition and this study analyzed the characteristics of these two different noises. Measurement was held on a wide vacant lot and the reflection effect of the ground is additionally examined. It is judged to be used in the future when predicting the environmental noise of railway vehicles.

The purpose of this research was to see thermal and breaking type characteristics of waste wood for construction materials using high temperature and pressure equipment. In TG/DTA graph weight of waste wood was steeply decreased at $250^{\circ}C$, it has to be treated below $250^{\circ}C$ for construction materials. In popping test the needle-leaved tree was more broken in texture than the broad-leaved tree, especially, Chamaecyparis obtusa(W-7) was the best. The optimum result was obtained at temp. $200^{\circ}C$, pressure 3MPa among the experimental condition.
