In this paper, we propose a new 3D PUI(Physical User Interface) system in which the index fingertip points and moves a mouse position on a given monitor screen. There are two 3D PUI schemes to control smart devices like smart TVs remotely, the relative pointing one and the absolute pointing one. The former has a problem in that it does not match the human perception process, and the latter requires excessive movement of the body. We combined the relative one and the absolute one, and develop a new intuitive and user-friendly pointing method, 3D PUI. It requires an establishment of a pyramid shape visible area (view volume) to point a mouse position on a screen with the dominant eye. In order to maintain the real-time view volume, however, it requires large computation depending on the movement of the dominant eye. We optimized the computation of the view volume in which it determines the internal and external position on the screen. In addition, Kalman filter is applied with tracing of the mouse pointer position to stabilize the trembling of the pointer and offers the user ease of use.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is one of the most successful pathogens to infect one third of world population. Th1-mediated immunity against Mtb infection is known as critical to express mycobacteriostatic function but it is not sufficient to resolve the infection. In this study, to verify the possibility Mtb itself change the gene expression to survive against host immune response, expression pattern of selected H37Rv genes, 16S rRNA, acr, fbpA, aceA, and ahpC, during the course of infection was measured with absolute quantitation method using real-time RT-PCR. The total number of transcripts of 16S rRNA increased during the course of infection, which was coincide with the increasing CFU. The total number of fbpA transcripts per CFU, which encode typical secreted Mtb antigen, Ag85A, increased for 10 days of infection before decreasing. The number of transcripts of acr per CFU, which encode heat shock protein, ${\alpha}$-crystallin, increased during the infection, and ahpC and aceA, they both are enzymes produced in oxidative stressful condition, increased for 20 days and then slightly decreased on day 30. These findings are one of survival strategy of pathogen evading host immune response lead to persistent infection inside host cells.

BCI (Brain-Computer Interface) is a way to control computer by using the human brain waves. As the hardware using brain wave technologies has developed, former expensive and big sized brain wave measuring devices have recently become much smaller and cheaper in their prices, making it possible for the individuals to buy them. This predicts them to be applied in various fields of multimedia industry. This thesis is to give an insight into whether the BCI device can be used as a new gaming device approaching it in a game designing point of view. At first, we propose game play elements that can effectively utilizing the BCI devices and produce a game prototype adopting the BCI device based on such game play elements. Next, we verify it with statistical data analysis to show that the prototype adopting the BCI device gives more clear and efficient controls in its game play than a game of only adopting keyboard & mouse devices. The results will give a guideline for effective game design methodology for making BCI based games.

본 내용은 첨단 정보통신 기술을 이용하여 강의자 중심의 단방향 교육(Teaching) 환경을 학생 중심의 양방향 교육(Learning) 환경으로 개선하여 보다 창의적인 인재를 양성할 수 있는 교육환경 구축에 관한 내용이다. 우리나라를 포함한 OECD 국가들은 ICT활용 수업에 대한 필요성을 공감하고 교단 선진화를 위한 연구 및 지원을 다양하게 진행하고 있다. 학생들에게 지급하는 교과서를 인쇄매체 대신에 메모리 스틱, CD-ROM 및 인터넷을 통한 전자 매체로 대체하는 방안 등이 그 예이다. 따라서 학생들이 강의실에서 멀티미디어를 이용해 강의를 듣고, 과제를 풀며 정리된 내용을 발표하고 토론할 수 있는 양방향 수업환경이 요구된다. 그러나 컴퓨터를 활용한 수업을 진행할 때의 문제점이 강의내용을 학생들에게 효율적으로 전달하기가 어렵고, 학생들의 컴퓨터를 통제할 수 없기 때문에 수업을 이탈하는 경우가 발생되는 등 교육에 역효과가 초래된다. 본 내용에서 소개하는 양방향 수업진행 장비(드림랩)는 강의자가 학생들의 컴퓨터 모니터, 키보드 및 마우스를 자유로이 통제할 수 있어서 강의자의 화면과 음성을 실시간으로 선명하게 학생들에게 전달하고, 학생들의 내용을 모니터하고 제어할 수 있으며, 개인지도 및 수준별 그룹지도가 가능하다. 또한 강의자에게 개인적으로 질문을 할 수 있고, 학생들의 내용을 자신의 자리에서 전체 학생들에게 발표할 수도 있다. 드림랩은 순수 하드웨어로 구성되어 컴퓨터 기종이나 운영체제에 영향을 받지 않으며, 컴퓨터 자원과 네트워크 자원을 사용하지 않기 때문에 컴퓨터나 네트워크의 성능을 저하시키지 않는다. 또한 사용법이 간단하고 유지관리가 쉬운 장점 등이 있다. 따라서 컴퓨터를 활용한 수업진행이 원활하여 다양한 과목에 활용 가능하고, 학생들의 자발적인 수업 참여로 강의 중심 교육에서 자기 주도적 수업환경(T2L, Teaching to Learning)으로 자연스럽게 전환되어 교육의 질적 향상과 함께 창의적인 인재를 양성할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Web pages with complex layout and small font size do not display well on large screen display such as TV because it has limited capabilities: long distance view, passive user attitude, limited input device like a legacy remote controller. We have designed and implemented new semantic zoom browsing facilities to support effective navigation on Internet-connected digital television with limited capabilities. Our browser performs partitioning of an HTML document content into semantic blocks. Semantic blocks present summarized information with more readable style and modified layout for optimal reading and browsing. Individual blocks can be selected by the user and zoomed in more detail information by the user. The scrolling on large display device needs more user interaction. Our browser modifies the layout of an HTML document with removing horizontal scrolling and minimizing vertical scrolling. This method allows users to easily view the web page by converting into optimal reading style and layout and to easily seek the information just with zooming.

This paper describes the development of an indoor locomotion assistive robot, Ball-Chair, comprising a novel drive system. This robot facilitates locomotion assistive operation in narrow spaces, in which common wheelchairs cannot move easily. The Ball-Chair has two main features: its structural feature and driving mechanism. The exoskeleton frames of the Ball-Chair have been designed with octagonal shapes resembling a circle, for minimizing its volume and weight. Additionally, all its driving parts (including the ball) are mounted within of the robot to enhance its safety. The Ball-Chair features a reverse ball-mouse driving mechanism comprising two driving omni-wheels in the x- and y-axes. By controlling the speed of each omni-wheel, a holonomic driving system that can facilitate omnidirectional locomotion has been achieved using only two wheels. The effective movement of the Ball-Chair in any direction within narrow indoor spaces was experimentally verified. The paper outlines the development procedure in detail.

This research aims in finding a more optimal ejector size for evacuating engine exhaust gasses and 20% of the cell cooling air. The remaining 80% of cell cooling air pumped into the test chamber is separately exhausted from the test chamber via a discharge port fitted with flow control valves and vacuum pump. Unlike its predecessor this configuration utilizes a smaller capture area to improve pressure recovery. The modified ejector size has a diameter of 1100mm enough to evacuate 66kg/s jet engine exhaust in addition to about 20%, 24kg/s of the cell cooling air tapped from the sterling chamber. This configurations has an area ratio of the engine exit and ejector inlet of about 1.2. Simulation results of the proposed ejector configuration, indicates improved pressure recovery.

The domestic game market is still on a trend of growth. Particularly, as the demand for mobile games is increased, the mobile version is developed in a growing number of cases even after the launch of the games for PCS. In a bid to search for the effective method of UI design depending on the differences between the platforms, this study analyzed the types of different media in the first place and as the approaches to the UI design based on the affordance concept, implemented on the platform of PCS and implemented on the platform of mobile devices were analyzed as the cases which are the same MMORPG games. Since the differences between the game platforms can cause the variations in the physical size of the screens depending on the environment in which the user interface (UI) is rendered and may often involve the controls implemented by the touch of screens rather than the manipulation based on the keyboard and mouse, they usually give the influences on the direction of UI designs. By analyzing these UI elements based on the affordance concept, it may be possible to find the effective method of UI design in the future.
