  • Patent number: 10190855
    Abstract: The present invention provides a bullet collecting box which is installed with a plurality of rubber plates in the bullet collecting box having a rectangular parallelepiped shape and filled with rubber powder filling materials having a particle size of 0.1 to 3 mm therein, thereby collecting the bullets fired in the indoor shooting range without damage, and a bullet collecting system which can be used by installing the bullet collecting box in the indoor shooting range. Also, the present invention provides a bullet collecting system for preventing occurrence of lead fume in the indoor shooting range, in which the beaten zone of the indoor shooting range is newly improved from an existing system of using an iron plate to a system of using powder filling materials, thereby preventing the leakage of lead fume, and contributing to an early normalization of the shooting range and a creative national defense.

  • Publication number: 20150185338
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining an optimal energy window for optimal positron emission tomography (PET) is disclosed. An optimal energy window determining apparatus may include a data corrector configured to correct data measured from an image quality phantom, an image quality measurer configured to measure an image quality for the corrected data, and an optimal energy window determiner configured to determine the optimal energy window based on the measured image quality. The data corrector may correct the measured data based on a difference between sensitivities measured using different radiopharmaceuticals in at least one energy window.
