Coincidence Doppler broadening and positron lifetime methods in positron annihilation spectroscopy has been used to analyze defect structures in metal, semiconductor and polycrystal, respectively. The S parameter and the lifetime (${\tau}$) value show that the defects were strongly related with vacancies. A positive relationship existed between the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images and the positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS). According to the SEM images and PAS results, measurements of the defects with PAS indicate that it was more affected by the defect than the purity.

This paper describes the effectiveness of laser pulse shaping in eliminating weld defects such as porosity, cracks and undercuts in pulsed Nd:YAG Laser welding. A large porosity was formed in a keyhole mode of deep penetration weld metal of any stainless steel. Solidification cracks were present in Type 303 with about 0.3%s. The conditions for the formation of porosity were determined in further detail in Type 316. With the objectives of obtaining a fundamental knowledge of formation and prevention of weld defects, the fusion and solidification behavior of a molten puddle was observed during laser spot welding of Type 310S. through high speed video photographing technique. It was deduced that cellular dendrite tips grew rapidly from the bottom to the surface, and consequently residual liquid remained at the grain boundaries in wide regions and enhanced the solidification cracking susceptibility. Several laser pulse shapes were investigated and optimum pulse shapes were proposed for the reduction and prevention of porosity and solidification cracking.

This study was undertaken to investigate possibility of the allogenic type I collagen inducing osteoinduction or osteoconduction at critical sized bone defect in the rabbit. Twenty Newzealand white rabbit, weighted from 2.8 kg to 3.5 kg, were used in this study. The skull was exposed and two bony defects were created with diameter of 10 mm. Group I(n=10), the bony defects was grafted from the other side bone. Group II(n=10), the bony defects was grafted by the allogenic type I collagen with bone morphogenic protein(BMP). Group III(n=10), the bony defects was grafted by the allogenic type I collagen only. Group IV(n=10), the bony defects was lefted with no grafts. The grafted bones and allogenic type I collagen were investigated with radiologic densitometry, histologic analysis and immunohistochemistry after 12 weeks. No major difference was observed in the gross finding between Group I, II, III, but dura mater was exposed in bony defect,the Group IV. The radiologic study demonstrated more bony opacity in the Group I, but the other groups did not demonstrate a significant difference. In the histologic study, grafted bone edge was completely consolidated with original bone in group I and new bone ingrew into the grafted allogenic type I collagen(group II, III),but there is no bone regeneration from the original bony edge in the group IV. The percent of the new bone formation by cross-sectional area was considered statistically significant at a p value of less than 0.05(p<0.05). In the immunohistochemistry study about BMP antibodies, the group IV demonstrated osteogenic activity in front of advancing original bone edge, in which the osteoblast stained strongly for BMP antibodies, but other group does not demonstrated any osteoblastic expression. There was no immunologic rejection. In conclusion, this results do not demonstrate that the allogenic type I collagen is useful for bone substitute, but the characters of the collagen, such as pliability, easy-handling, sponge-like structure, are useful in interpositional bone graft substitutes. The further evaluation of long term results about the resorption, immunologic tissue reaction, response of applied tissue growth factor to the allogenic collagen is needed.

This paper proposes computer visual inspection algorithms for various LCD defects which are found in a manufacturing process. Modular vision processing steps are required in order to detect different types of LCD defects. Those key modules include RGB filtering for pixel defects, gray-scale morphological processing and Hough transform for line defects, and adaptive threshold for spot defects. The proposed algorithms can give users detailed information on the type of defects in the LCD panel, the size of defect, and its location. The machine vision inspection system is implemented using C language in an embedded Linux system for a high-speed real-time image processing. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithms are quite successful.

In this paper, the features extraction of reflected ultrasonic signals from various type of defects existing in Al metal has been studied by digital signal processing. Since the reflected signals from various type of the defects are ambiguous in features distinction from effects of noise, Wiener filtering using AR (auto-regressive) technique and least-absolute-values norm method has been used in features extraction and comparison of signals. In this experiment, three types of the defect in aluminum specimen have been considered: a flat cut, an angular cut, a circular hole. And the reflected signal have been measured by pulse-echo methods. In the result of digital signal processing of the reflected signal, it has been found that the features extraction method have been effective for classification of the reflected signals from various defects.

The warranty liability period for defects in apartment buildings by work type is not based on scientific analysis, making the appropriateness of the term a culprit behind the lawsuits. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate the appropriateness of the warranty liability term of apartment buildings by identifying the current status of defects, in particular, caused by finishing works. That is because the number of defects, caused during the finishing works, accounted for the largest portion of the total defect cases of apartment buildings reported to the Apartment Defect Dispute Mediation Committee under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport of Korea between 2010 and 2011. The result from analyzing claims for defect repairs of the finishing works showed that most cases by work type continued to be made after two years, and only about 60% were charged within the warranty period. And, defects by work type have correlation, which needs to be considered for a better construction technique. Considering a low correlation between the possibility of defects and the construction performance rankings, which are highly relevant to the apartment preference. It is believed that there needs to be a qualification process for agencies that actually performs finishing works.

During the last two decades, several guidelines have been developed and used for assessing the integrity of a defective steam generator (SG) tube that is generally caused by stress corrosion cracking or wall-thinning phenomenon. However, as some of SG tubes are also failed due to fretting and so on, alternative failure estimation schemes are required for relevant defects. In this paper, parametric three-dimensional finite element (FE) analyses are carried out under internal pressure condition to simulate the failure behavior of SG tubes with different defect configurations; elliptical wear, tapered and flat wear type defects. Maximum pressures based on material strengths are obtained from more than a hundred FE results to predict the failure of SG tube. After investigating the effect of key parameters such as defect depth, defect length and wrap angle, simplified failure estimation equations are proposed in relation to the equivalent stress at the deepest point in wear region. Comparison of failure pressures predicted by the proposed estimation scheme with corresponding burst test data showed a good agreement.

The CZ-silicon crystal was annealed at $1350^{\circ}C$ to dissolve the vacancy type grown-in defects. A this temperature, the equilibrium concentration of the oxygen in the silicon crystal is around $1.7{\times}10^{18}$ which induces the oxygen undersaturation in the silicon crystal. This situation results in the faster dissolution of the grown-in defects in the bulk of the silicon wafer than near the surface. This indicates the possibility that the presence of the higher concentration of silicon interstitial hinders the dissolution of the grown-in defects, which were known to compose of the vacancy clusters with surrounding silicon oxide film. This expectation was confirmed by the observation that the slower dissolution of the grown-in defects near the surface of the silicon wafer in the oxygen atmosphere than in the argon atmosphere. This result is quite opposite to the previous argument hat presence of the excess silicon interstitial leads to faster dissolution of the vacancy type defects.

During the period from March, 1963, to November, 1977, forty-eight patients with secundum type atrial septal defects have undergone surgical repair using cardiopulmonary bypass with a pump oxygenator at the Seoul National University Hospital. Twenty-six [55 percent] of the patients were females and Twenty-two [45 percent] were males. The patients varied in age from 3 years to 51 years. We have divided secundum defects into three types. These are: 1] the high defect; 2] Ovale type defect; and 3] low defect including the defect in the area of the coronary sinus. An ovale type defect was present in forty-one cases [85 percent]. Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connections were present in two patients in the high defect group. All of the forty-eight patients had had right heart catheterization before operation. The pulmonary to systemic flow ratio [Qp/Qs] was determined in our 38 patients. The Qp/Qs was less than 1.5/1 in only five of the 38 patients. Among the 33 patients with moderate and severe left-to-right shunts [Qp/Qs 1.6-3.5/1], the systolic pulmonary artery pressures. ranged from 30 to 80 mm Hg. Large left-to-right shunts [Qp/Qs>3.6/1] were present in 13 patients. The postoperative complications occurred in 13 patients [27. 1 percent]. Postoperative wound infections were the most frequent complications being present in 6 patients [12.5%]. Forty-six of the patients with secundum atrial septal defects survived surgical repair of their defects. Thus the hospital mortality of surgery was 4.2 percent. The causes of death in the early postoperative period were: 1] low cardiac output syndrome related to severe pulmonary hypertension in one case; and 2] postoperative several bleeding in one case.

In the case of a die-casting process, defects that are difficult to confirm by visual inspection, such as shrinkage bubbles, may occur due to an error in maintaining a vacuum state. Since these casting defects are discovered during post-processing operations such as heat treatment or finishing work, they cannot be taken in advance at the casting time, which can cause a large number of defects. In this study, we propose an approach that can predict the occurrence of casting defects by defect type using machine learning technology based on casting parameter data collected from equipment in the die casting process in real time. Die-casting parameter data can basically be collected through the casting equipment controller. In order to perform classification analysis for predicting defects by defect type, labeling of casting parameters must be performed. In this study, first, the defective data set is separated by performing the primary clustering based on the total defect rate obtained during the post-processing. Second, the secondary cluster analysis is performed using the defect rate by type for the separated defect data set, and the labeling task is performed by defect type using the cluster analysis result. Finally, a classification learning model is created by collecting the entire labeled data set, and a real-time monitoring system for defect prediction using LabView and Python was implemented. When a defect is predicted, notification is performed so that the operator can cope with it, such as displaying on the monitoring screen and alarm notification.
