Scan architecture is very effective design-for-testability technique that is widely used for high testability, however, it requires so much test time due to test vector shifting time. In this paper, an efficient scan test method is presented that is based on the Illinois scan architecture. The proposed method maximizes the common input effect via a scan chain selection scheme. Experimental results show the proposed method requires very short test time and small data volume by increasing the efficiency of common input effect.

Thyroid scans using $Na^{131}I\;and\;^{99m}TcO_4^-$ in two (anterior and anterior oblique) projections were done simultaneously in 50 patients with single palpable nodule and in euthyroid state(nodular nontoxic goiter) and 20 normal subjects to evaluate the imaging ability of each radionuclide and the necessity of oblique view. In detection of a nodule as a cold or cool area, $^{99m}TcO_4^-$ was slightly superior to $^{131}I$(82 % to 78% with anterior view alone, 92% to 84% when oblique view is added in detectability), with addition of an oblique view, 5 more cold or cool area in $^{99m}Tc$ scan and 3 more $^{131}I$ scan were detected. In normal subjects $^{99m}TcO_4^-$ scan was significantly superior to $^{131}I$ scan(90% to 70%) in getting normal pattern of tracer uptake in the glands. For routine imaging study of the thyroid, $^{99m}Tc$ pertechnetate scan with multiple projection is considered to be a preferable method.

The purpose of this paper is to find how to do the width of skirt and the girth of the waist in the adequate pattern making for the obese women's skirt. Appearance test of the five experimental skirts was evaluated by the four experts in clothing construction. At the same time, 3D clothing air volume was observed for the five types of experimental skirt with different size specifications. The results from the appearance test were as follows; when the width of skirt pattern is set for(the shell girth/2), it was suggested w/4+1(front), w/4(back) for girth of the waist. On one hand, in case of (the shell girth of front)/2+(the shell girth of back)/2, it was suggested(the waist girth of front)/2 and(waist girth of back)/2 for obese women's skirt with the best appearance. As results, it was found that the width of skirt pattern for the obese women should be the greatest shell girth instead of hip girth. In the case of the hip girth, the amount of ease on hip was suggested 6cm. It was found that pattern with the wrinkle of ease was full of the gaps between body and skirt in 3D clothing air volume. In spreading out to 2D flat pattern from 3D scan data, when the width of skirt pattern was set for(the shell girth of front)/2+(the shell girth of back)/2, it was suggested(the waist girth of front/2)+(the waist girth of back/2) than the shell girth/2 in girth of the waist for the best appearance. And the conversion of 3D scan data into 2D flat pattern in curve shape of crosswise had to spread out of the plane in straight line. The obese women's clothing should be manufactured with systematical consideration of the diversity and scarcity of the obese women's body shape.

Power dissipation during scan testing is becoming an important concern as design sizes and gate densities increase. The high switching activity of combinational circuits is an unnecessary operation in scan shift mode. In this paper, we present a novel architecture to reduce test power dissipation in combinational logic by blocking signal transitions at the logic inputs during scan shifting. We propose a unique architecture that uses dmuxed scan flip-flop (DSF) and transmission gate as an alternative to muxed scan flip-flop. The proposed method does not have problems with auto test pattern generation (ATPG) techniques such as test application time and computational complexity. Moreover, our elegant method improves performance degradation and large overhead in terms of area with blocking logic techniques. Experimental results on ITC99 benchmarks show that the proposed architecture can achieve an average improvement of 30.31% in switching activity compared to conventional scan methods. Additionally, the results of simulation with DSF indicate that the powerdelay product (PDP) and area overhead are improved by 28.9% and 15.6%, respectively, compared to existing blocking logic method.

A 17 month-old girl presented in the pediatric clinic on November 27th, 1990 with a neck mass. The mass was 2 cm in diameter, firm in consistency and movable on the upper pole of the thyroid cartilage in the midline. The technetium thyroid scan showed a hot reactivity at the compatible site of the mass, but no other radioactivity in either site of the normal thyroid positions. At her second visit on January 23th, 1996, the mass had enlarged up to 3.5cm in diameter in the same location of the neck. The follow up thyroid scan revealed a walnut sized, snowman-like radioactivity. One of the snowman-like double images seemed to be a lingual ectopic thyroid and the other a midline ectopic thyroid remnant in the infrahyoid level. This interpretation was supported by the computed tomography of the neck, which showed a ligual mass in the foramen cecum area and an another mass in the anterior comis-sure of the larynx in the mildline. Thyroid function test was normal except a slightly increased TSH. As a result of this changing pattern of thyroid radioactive images, a case of a lingual thyroid as well as another midline ectopic thyroid tissue at the infrahyoid level is reported.

The machine log files recorded by a scanning control unit in proton beam therapy system have been studied to be used as a quality assurance method of scanning beam deliveries. The accuracy of the data in the log files have been evaluated with a standard calibration beam scan pattern. The proton beam scan pattern has been delivered on a gafchromic film located at the isocenter plane of the proton beam treatment nozzle and found to agree within ${\pm}1.0mm$. The machine data accumulated for the scanning beam proton therapy of five different cases have been analyzed using a statistical method to estimate any systematic error in the data. The high-precision scanning beam log files in line scanning proton therapy system have been validated to be used for off-line scanning beam monitoring and thus as a patient-specific quality assurance method. The use of the machine log files for patient-specific quality assurance would simplify the quality assurance procedure with accurate scanning beam data.

In testing for practical scan disigned logic circuits, there may exist logic value constraints on some part of primary inputs due to various requirements on design and test. This paper presents a logic value system called taboo logic values which targets the test pattern generation of logic circuits under logic value constraints. The taboo logic system represents the logic value constraints and identifies additional logic value constraints through the implication of the tqaboo logic values using a taboo logic calculus. Those identified logic value constraints will guide the search during the test pattern generation of avoid the unfruitful searches and to identify redundant faults due to the logic value constraints very quickly. Finally, experimental results on ISCAS85 benchmark circuits will demonstrate the efficiency of the taboo logic values.

A wide-band E-plane notch phased array antenna having bandwidths of 3:1 and a scan volume of $\pm$ 45 is designed considering the active element pattern (AEP) with analysis of the full structure of E-plane notch phased array antenna. Using the numerical E-plane waveguide simulator as an infinite linear array in the broadside angle, the active reflection coefficient (ARC) of the unit element is optimized in the design frequency range. To evaluate the convergence of the AEP, the simulation of full array as changing the number array is investigated, and the minimum numbers of array that have characteristics similar to the AEP of an infinite array are determined.

Background: In trauma patients, bony thorax are exposured to the trauma in many cases. With simple x-ray, we can not detect all definitive bony abnormalities, especially in less severe cases. Bone scan is very sensitive diagnostic method in such cases. Materials and methods: We experienced 680 cases and results were as follows. Results: 1. Diagnostic sensitivity was 97.4% and false negative rate was 2.6%. 2. In sensitivity study, the time factor(when we perform bone scan) was the most important thing according to trauma pattern. In rib fracture, sensitive test time was after 1 week. In sternal fracture, sensitive test time was after 1 week, too. In costochondral junction fracture and combined cases, it was after 3 days. Conclusions: We recommend timely using of bone scan as definitive diagnostic method in bony thorax trauma patients.
