In this paper, we proposed noninvasive and continous measurement of blood pressure using pulse transit time(PTT) and physical characteristic parameters and verified its clinical effectiveness. PTT can be obtained by electrocardiogram and phtoplethysmogram. There are many researches for estimating blood pressure using PTT which can be used for individual. However, it is not enough for extracting general regression equation which can estimate blood pressure for unspecified people. In this study, we suggested the regression equatin using PTT and physical characteristic parameters related to blood pressure and did measure blood pressure of many people. we compared the performance between two methods. As the results, we knew that the regressin model using PTT combined with physical characteristic parameters can estimate blood pressure more acurately and is closer to American National Standards Institute of the Association of the Advancement of Medical Instrument(ANSI/AAMI).

Damper springs in a drive-line absorb the impulsive torque generated when a lock-up clutch is connected directly, instead of via a fluid coupling. Design optimization and finite element analysis were performed to improve the shock- and vibration-absorption capacity of the lock-up clutch. For this purpose, a multi-body dynamics model was developed by including the main parts of a vehicle, such as an engine with a clutch, a transmission, drive shafts and wheels, and a whole mass of a vehicle. The spring constants were selected so that resonance of a system could be avoided. Damper springs were optimized on the basis of the spring constants, impulsive torques, compressed angles, spring counts, fatigue constraints, etc. Topology optimization was performed for three plates with the damper springs. The compliance was set up as an objective function, and volume fraction was fixed below 0.3. A new shape for the plates was proposed on the basis of the topology result.

The thermodiluton is a standard method to measure cardiac output in clinical medicine. However it has many disadvantages such as expensive instrument and measurement, limited number of measurement, pain, safety problem, and side-effect due to insertion of catheter into heart. Electrical Impedance Cardiography has no such disadvantages and that it can continuously monitor stroke volume, contractility of cardiac muscle, and systolic time interval (STI) as well as cardiac output. While this impedance technique has been widely used and vigorously studied adroad, it is not introduced yet in Korea. Thus an Impedance Cardiograph has been developed in order to introduce this new technique. Its accuracy also has been verified by simultaneous measurement of cardiac output with the thermodilution technique. Finally changes of cardiac function during exercise were also measured.

In this study we confirmed for the cardiopulmonary ability improvement of the cycling exercise which uses a target heart beat. Consequently, we looked the resting systolic blood pressure down at 2.98% and THBI(Total Heart Beat Index) also decrements at 7.59%. But, increase of $VO_2$ max and PTT(Pulse Transit Time)were each point 24.60% and 4.92%. Increase of $VO_2$ max showed the growth of stroke volume by myocardial development. The increase of a stroke volume induces the decrease of Heart rate. The blood pressure was reduced also though the blood of many quantity was supplied at the artery. The reason is the phenomenon to be due to by an elasticity increase of the artery. We found out it through the decrease of PTT. So the cycling exercise to use consequently the target heart beat will become big aid at the health care.

Since cellular automata(CA) is superior to LFSR in randomness, it is applied as an alternative of LFSR in various fields. However, constructing CA corresponding to a given polynomial is more difficult than LFSR. Cattell et al. and Cho et al. showed that irreducible polynomials are CA-polynomials. And Cho et al. and Sabater et al. gave a synthesis method of 90/150 CA corresponding to the power of an irreducible polynomial, which is applicable as a shrinking generator. Swan characterizes the parity of the number of irreducible factors of a trinomial over the finite field GF(2). These polynomials are of practical importance when implementing finite field extensions. In this paper, we show that the trinomial $x^{2^n-1}+X+1$ ($n{\geq}2$) are CA-polynomials. Also the trinomial $x^{2^a(2^n-1)}+x^{2^a}+1$ ($n{\geq}2$, $a{\geq}0$) are CA-polynomials.

직업성 피부질환은 1988년 미국 전체 직업성 질환중 20%에 해당된다(미 노동부 자료 참고). 그 비율은 주에 따라 크게 달라지기도 한다. 피부질환은 어떤 주에서는 보상되는 직업성 질환의 대다수를 차지하기도 한다; 예를 들어, 캘리포니아와 플로리다주에서는 농작물에 의한 접촉성 피부염이 흔하다. 접촉성 피부염은 직업성 피부질환으로 보고되는 가장 흔한 피부질환이다. 이러한 사례의 4/5는 유기용제, 절삭유, 세척유, 알칼리, 산 등과 같은 자극성 화학물질에 대한 노출과 관련이 있다. 자외선은 어떤 화학물질(예를 들면, 코울 타르, 크레오소오트)과 반응하여, 이 화학물질 및 빛에 노출되는 부위에 자극성 접촉성 피부질환을 유발하기도 한다. 1/5의 사례는 에폭시 수지, 크롬, 식물 수지, 그 밖의 많은 것 등 특수 접촉 감광제와 관련될 수 있다. 강한 자극제에 노출되어 발상하는 화학적 화상은 비교적 흔하게 일어난다. 백반과 유사한 피부탈색은 드물게 일어나며 피부 접촉을 통하여 야기하는 특수 화학물질과 관련될 수 있다. 여드름과 모낭염은 기름 및 유지들과의 피부 접촉을 통하여 생겨날 수 있다. 10대 여드름과 구별되는 염소성 여드름이라고 불리는 질환은 여러 종류의 염화 탄화수소들(예를들면 다브롬화 디페닐, 다염화 디페닐, 디옥신)에 노출되어 발생되기도 한다. 신체적인 손상으로 반복되는 외상부위에 가골이 형성되기도 한다. 여러 종류의 일에 특징적인 것(예를 들면 바이올린 연주자의 목에 가골)이 소위 "직업적인 표지" 이다. 전기톱 작동 기술자, 분쇄기 작동기술자, 지하 광산 암석 천공 기술자에게서 발생하는, 손 - 팔 부위의 진동은 오랜기간 혹은 심하게 노출된 노동자에 있어서 - 손에 혈관수축질환 - 진동장애 백색 수지질환을 일으킬 수 있다. 피부암은 직업과 관련이 있다고 할 수 있다. 하지만 몇몇 사례가 산재 관련 기관에 보고외어 있지만, 암등록소에 보고는 불완전하며, 피부암으로 인한 사망은 드물기 때문에 피부암의 발생률은 알 수 없다. 예방적인 방법은 개인보호구(장갑, 구두 등), 기계공학적 통제, 노동자 교육, 피부에 노출되는 것을 피하기 위해 주어진 일을 맡는 노동자들의 교대와 같은 관리적인 통제가 있다. 이러한 방법들은 화학적 화상, 알러지성 접촉성 피부염과 같은 피부염, 진동장애, 직업관련성 질환(예를 들면, 건선, 단순태선, 백반)을 예방하는데 도움이 된다. 만성 자극성 접촉성 피부염은 아직 잘 이해하고 있지 못하여 현재 예방하는 방법은 아직 만족스럽지 못하다.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the physiological effects of Shinrin-yoku (taking in the atmosphere of the forest of forest bathing). The subjects were twelve male university students ($21.6{\pm}2.1$ years old). On the first day, six subjects were sent to a forest area, and the others to a city area. On the second day, the subjects were sent to the opposite areas for a cross check. The subjects were seated on chairs and viewing the landscapes of their given areas for 15 minutes. HRV (Heart Rate Variability) and diastolic blood pressure were used as physiological indices. Diastolic blood pressure and LF/(LF+HF) components of HRV in the forest area were significantly lower than in the city area. And HF power components of HRV in the forest settings were significantly enhanced than in city settings. In conclusion, the results of the physiological measurements show that Shinrin-yoku was able to effectively relax people in both mind and body.

The heifer electrocardiograph is a widely progressing research which is used in judgement to existence for a heart disease and analyzes electric potential changes of heart movement during continuous living of everyday after attaching to body portable holler recorder for twenty-four hours. In order to obtain electrocardiogram clearly, it must eliminate that 60Hz power line interference, baseline wandering, noise of muscle constriction. In holter electrocardiogram, the most big problem which is recorded signal of ECG(electrocardiogram) is a baseline wandering elimination, which is occurred by rhythm of respiration and muscle constriction of part from attaching to an electrode. Such baseline is roughly irregular wandering and shaking up and down therefore the part of baseline wandering elimination is very important because it is difficult of ECG diagnosis. In this study, it is stabilized baseline wandering in analog part as implementation f real-time signal processing digital filter so it is applicable to analyze patient's heart disease by way of design of baseline wandering elimination system.
