This paper uses a glass dosimeter to evaluate the lens-absorbed dose of scattered radiation generated in tomotherapy intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). The head and neck portion of the rando phantom was subjected to a CT scan. The tomotherapy plan was designed to ensure delivery of the prescribed total 70 Gy day 2.2 Gy. With the lens portion of the glass dosimeter, a 5mm bolus was subjected to the scattered radiation treatment, and the dose was measured in each of the three megavoltage CT (MVCT) modes. The result is multiplied by 30 times and was determined once as the mean value. The measurement at the MVCT Coarse mode is RT mode 10.797 mGy, that for the Normal mode is 13.360 mGy, for the Fine mode is a maximum of 22.872 mGy, and for the treatment mode is 895.830 mGy. A small amount of scattered radiation in the MVCT is measured in the lens scattered radiation, but scattered radiation during treatment was measured to be near 1 Gy on the lens. Compared to a one-time radiation treatment of 2.2 Gy, the survey showed something unexpected in that it was half the value of that research to the patient. Therefore, will be aware of how much of an influence there will be on sensitive organs, such as the lens by scattered radiation generated during intensity modulated radiation therapy.

CFRP 복합 재료를 접착 접합한 single-lap 및 double-lap 접합 시험편의 disbond 크기를 초음파 C-scan 및 simulated stress wave를 이용하여 정량적으로 평가하고자 하였다. 초음파 C-scan 시험을 통해 인공 결함의 크기가 확인된 시험편을 사용하여, 접합부를 통과한 응력파의 주파수를 변화시키면서 peak amplitude를 측정하여 주파수 응답성을 구하였으며, 이를 분석한 결과 두 적층판의 두께 방향 기본 공진 및 3차 공진 주파수에서 peak amplitude가 극값을 보이며, 접합 면적에 비례함을 관측할 수 있었다. 이 결과로 표준시험편만 준비된다면 결함의 정량적 평가 및 현장 적용에도 이용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 논문에서는 일반적인 합성구경기법에 대한 통합 모형을 제시하고 수학적인 해석을 통하여 합성구경 기법들에 대한 초음파 빔패턴의 단일 표현식을 유도하였다. 이 결과를 이용하여 기존의 합성구경 기법들에 대한 성능을 분석하고 비교하였으며, 선형주사 영상에 적합한 새로운 합성구경 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 모든 영상점에서 양방향 동적 집속이 가능하며, 이를 실제 영상에 적용하여 의료용 초음파 B-모드 영상의 해상도를 획기적으로 개선할 수 있다. 제안된 방법에 의하여 집속된 초음파 빔패턴은 기존의 방식과 비교하여 주엽의 폭이 절반으로 감소하고 측엽의 크기는 유사하다. 컴퓨터 모사실험을 통하여 본 논문의 해석결과와 제안된 합성구경 기법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

The formation degree of sustain (ITO pattern) determines the quality of a PDP (Plasma Display Panel). Thus, in the present study, we attempt to detect 100% of the defects that are larger than $30{\mu}m$. Currently, the inspection method in the PDP manufacturing process is dependent upon the naked eye or a microscope in off-line mode. In this study, a prototype inspection system for PDP ITO patterned glass is developed. The developed system, which is based on a line-scan mechanism, obtains information on the defects and sorts the defects by type automatically. The developed inspection system adopts a multi-vision method using slit-beam formation for minimum inspection time and the detection algorithm is embodied in the detection ability. Characteristic defects such as pin holes, substances, and protrusions are extracted using the blob analysis method. Defects such as open, short, spots and others are distinguished by the line type inspection algorithm. It was experimentally verified that the developed inspection system can detect defects with reliability of up to 95% in about 60 seconds for the 42-inch PDP panel.

Digital 3D Real Object Duplication System (RODS) consists of 3D Scanner and Solid Freeform Fabrication System (SFFS). It is a device to make three-dimensional objects directly from the drawing or the scanning data. In this research, we developed an office type SFFS based on Three Dimensional Printing Process and an industrial SFFS using Dual Laser. An office type SFFS applied sliding mode control with sliding perturbation observer (SMCSPO) algorithm for control of this system. And we measured process variables about droplet diameter measurement and powder bed formation etc. through experiments. In case of industrial type SFFS, in order to develop more elaborate and speedy system for large objects than existing SLS process, this study applies a new Selective Dual-Laser Sintering (SDLS) process and 3-axis Dynamic Focusing Scanner for scanning large area instead of the existing f lens. In this process, the temperature has a great influence on sintering of the polymer. Also the laser parameters are considered like that laser beam power, scan speed, and scan spacing. Now, this study is in progress to evaluate the effect of experimental parameters on the sintering process.

Damage detection plays a very important role to the maintenance of bridge structures. Traditional damage detection methods are usually based on structural dynamic properties, which are acquired from pre-installed sensors on the bridge. This is not only time-consuming and costly, but also suffers from poor sensitivity to damage if only natural frequencies and mode shapes are concerned in a noisy environment. Recently, the idea of using the dynamic responses of a passing vehicle shows a convenient and economical way for damage detection of bridge structures. Inspired by this new idea and the well-established tap test in the field of non-destructive testing, this paper proposes a new method for obtaining the damage information through the acceleration of a passing vehicle enhanced by a tapping device. Since no finger-print is required of the intact structure, this method can be easily implemented in practice. The logistics of this method is illustrated by a vehicle-bridge interaction model, along with the sensitivity analysis presented in detail. The validity of the method is proved by some numerical examples, and remarks are given concerning the potential implementation of the method as well as the directions for future research.

We developed an SD-OCT (Spectral Domain-Optical Coherence Tomography) system which uses a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) for processing. The image size from the SD-OCT system is $1024{\times}512$ and the speed is 110 frame/sec in real-time. K-domain linearization, FFT (Fast Fourier Transform), and log scaling were included in the GPU processing. The signal processing speed was about 62 ms using a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and 1.6 ms using a GPU, which is 39 times faster. We performed an in-vivo retinal scan, and reconstructed a 3D visualization based on C-scan images. As a result, there were minimal motion artifacts and we confirmed that tomograms of blood vessels, the optic nerve, and the optic disk are clearly identified. According to the results of this study, this SD-OCT can be applied to real-time 3D display technology, particularly auxiliary instruments for eye operations in ophthalmology.

Composite wood materials are very sensitive to water and inspection without any coupling medium of a liquid is really needed to wood materials due to the permeation of coupling medium such as water. However, air-coupled ultrasound has obvious advantages over water-coupled experimentation compared with conventional C-scanner. In this work, it is desirable to perform contact-less nondestructive evaluation to assess wood material homogeneity. A wood material was nondestructively characterized with non-contact and contact modes to measure ultrasonic velocity using automated data acquisition software. We have utilized a proposed peak-delay measurement method. Also through transmission mode was performed because of the main limitation for air-coupled transducers, which is the acoustic impedance mismatch between most materials and air. The variation of ultrasonic velocity was found to be somewhat difference due to air-coupled limitations over conventional scan images. However, conventional C-scan images are well agreed with increasing the resin-infiltrated time as expected. Finally, we have developed a measurement system of an ultrasonic velocity based on data acquisition software for obtaining ultrasonic quantitative data for correlation with C-scan images.

흉부 CT 검사의 스캔 기법의 하나인 VOLUME AXIAL MODE를 이용하여 관전압의 변화에 따라 진단적으로 가치가 높은 영상을 얻기 위하여 화질을 평가하고 적절한 관전압을 제시하고자 한다. CT 장비는 GE사의 Revolution(GE Healthcare, Wisconsin USA)모델을 이용하였으며, Phantom은 Pediatric Whole Body Phantom PBU-70을 사용하였다. Heart의 SNR 평균차이분석에서는 70 kvp에서 $-4.53{\pm}0.26$ 이었고 80 kvp는 $-3.34{\pm}0.18$ 이었으며 100 kvp는 $-1.87{\pm}0.15$이었고 70 kvp가 100kvp 보다 약 -2.66정도 SNR이 높았으며 통계적으로 유의하였다.(p<0.05) Lung의 SNR 평균차이분석에서는 70 kvp에서 $-78.20{\pm}4.16$이었고 80 kvp는 $-79.10{\pm}4.39$이었으며 100 kvp는 $-77.43{\pm}4.72$이었고 70 kvp가 100 kvp 보다 약 -0.77정도 SNR이 높았으며 통계적으로 유의하였다.(p<0.05). Lung의 CNR 평균차이분석에서는 70 kvp에서 $73.67{\pm}3.95$이었고 80 kvp는 $75.76{\pm}4.25$이었으며 100 kvp는 $75.57{\pm}4.62$이었고 80 kvp가 70 kvp 보다 약 20.9정도 CNR이 높았으며 통계적으로 유의하였다.(p<0.05) 관전압 100 kvp에서는 70 kvp와 80k vp를 비교 했을 때 심장 영상의 질을 유지하면서 SNR이 1에 가까웠다. 하지만 70 kvp와 80kvp에서는 SNR 차이가 없어 70 kvp 로 소아 흉부 CT 검사를 하여 방사선량을 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 반면에 CNR은 70 kvp에서 가장 1에 근사치를 나타냈었으며 80kvp와 100kvp에서는 차이가 없어 80 kvp로 소아 흉부 CT 검사를 하여 방사선량을 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 또한 Volume Axial mode 검사 시 0.3초의 짧은 scan time으로 검사 할 수 있어서 움직이거나 진정이 필요한 소아환자에게 유용할 것으로 사료된다.
