Smart healthcare systems, a convergent industry based on information and communications technologies (ICT), has emerged from personal health management to remote medical treatment as a distinguished industry. The smart healthcare environment provides technology to deliver vital information, such as pulse rate, body temperature, health status, and so on, from wearable devices to the hospital network where the physician is located. However, since it deals with the patient's personal medical information, there is a security issue for personal information management, and the system may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks in wireless networks. Therefore, this study focuses on a key-development and device-management system to generate keys in the smart environment to safely manage devices. The protocol is designed to provide safe communications with the generated key and to manage the devices, as well as the generated key. The security level is analyzed against attack methods that may occur in a healthcare environment, and it was compared with existing key methods and coding capabilities. In the performance evaluation, we analyze the security against attacks occurring in a smart healthcare environment, and the security and efficiency of the existing key encryption method, and we confirmed an improvement of about 15%, compared to the existing cipher systems.

In medical industry, health insurance bill audit is unique and essential process in general hospitals. The health insurance bill audit process is very important because not only for hospital's profit but also hospital's reputation. Particularly, at the large general hospitals many related workers including analysts, nurses, and etc. have engaged in the health insurance bill audit process. This paper introduces a case of health insurance bill audit for finding reducible health insurance bill cases using decision tree induction techniques at a large general hospital in Korea. When supervised learning methods had been tried to be applied, one of major problems was data imbalance problem in the health insurance bill audit data. In other words, there were many normal(passing) cases and relatively small number of reduction cases in a bill audit dataset. To resolve the problem, in this study, well-known methods for imbalanced data sets including over sampling of rare cases, under sampling of major cases, and adjusting the misclassification cost are combined in several ways to find appropriate decision trees that satisfy required conditions in health insurance bill audit situation.

Enzymes are widely used in industrial applications such as detergents, food, feed production, pharmaceuticals and medical applications and major contributors to clean industrial products and processes. To screen, identify, and characterize the enzymes the zymography techniques are routinely used. The zymography technique is a simple, sensitive, and quantifiable technique that is widely used to detect functional enzymes following electrophoretic separation in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gels. The method is a versatile two-stage technique involving protein separation by electrophoresis followed by the detection of enzyme activity in polyacrylamide gels under non-reducing conditions. It is based on SDS-polyacrylamide gel (PAG) copolymerization with substrates, which are degraded by the hydrolytic enzymes restored in enzyme reaction buffer after the electrophoretic separation. Any kind of biological sample can be applied and analyzed on zymography, including culture supernatants of microbes, plants extracts, blood, tissue culture fluids, enzymes in foods extracts and metaproteome. The advantage of zymography is that it is possible to directly detect the protein with activity on the electrophoretic gel as well as confirm the activity at the nanogram level. Thus, this zymography technology can be applied in various fields. However, these advantages are rather disadvantageous and can often lead to experimental errors. In this review, the advantages, disadvantages, and problem solving of zymography technique are described.

Cryopump는 반도체 임플란타 공정, OLED분야, 신소재 개발, 표면분석 및 처리, 의료분야, 입자가속기, 핵융합 등 다양한 진공분야에 응용되는 고진공용 극저온펌프이다. 특히 향후로의 산업구조는 디스플레이, 반도체, IT 산업분야로 집중 재편될 것이기에, 이에 따른 핵심제조장비인 고진공 펌프의 수요가 급증할 것으로 판단된다. 그리고 이를 위한 핵심부품과 장비들의 국산화가 시급한 실정이다. 기술적인 측면에서 보자면 GVT는 미국의 Varian과 일본Ebara의 Cryopump 제조기술을 원천으로 한 회사로써 현재는 국내 유일의 G-M냉동기와 Cryopump 제조기술을 보유한 업체이다. 그리고 최근 오랫동안 정체되었던 관련 기술을 발전시켜 최적화된 한국형 G-M 냉동기 및 이를 장착한 다양한 사이즈의 고성능 Cryopump를 출시하게 되었다. 가장 큰 수확은 Cryopump의 성능을 크게 향상시켰으며 무엇보다 고객맞춤형으로 디자인할 수 있을 정도의 기술력을 확보하게 되었다는 점이다. Cryopump의 성능은 장착되는 Cryocooler(G-M냉동기)의 성능과 밀접한 관련이 있기 때문에 일차로 Cryocooler의 성능을 개선하고 이차로 이를 장착한 Cryopump의 성능을 개선하였다. 본 연구는 일차로 진행된 HP Series 2단 Cryocooler 4가지 모델 중 가장 범용인 HPM 모델과 HPS모델에 대한 제작과 성능시험에 관한 것이다. 이는 각각 기존의 ICP Series 펌프에 장착되던 Expander 535 모델 및 Expander 855 모델에 대한 설계 최적화의 결과물로써 내용은 Cryocooler에 대한 'Typical Performance Test(1st STG와 2nd STG의 온도가 각각의 Stage에 인가되는 Heat Load에 의해 그물망 형태의 그래프가 되도록 수행하는 시험법)'의 절차를 따라 수행되었다. HPM Cryocooler의 성능은 2nd STG Temp. 20K 와 1st STG Temp. 80K를 Heat Load 기준으로 하였을 경우, 각각 8.2W, 55.0W의 성능을 나타내었고 HPS Cryocooler의 성능은 2nd STG Temp. 20K 와 1st STG Temp. 72K를 Heat Load기준으로 하였을 경우, 각각 14.0W, 90.0W의 성능을 나타내었다. 1st STG Temp.를 72K로 정한 이유는 Power Supply의 용량 한계로 인해 90W이상의 Heat Load를 인가할 수 없었기 때문이다. 만약 성능 그래프의 경향성을 고려하여 1st STG Temp. 80K로 가정한다면, 각각 약 13W, 100W 정도의 성능을 가질 것으로 추정된다. 단, 본 시험에 사용된 Compressor는 GVT의 HC80Plus 모델로 내부에는 Helium용 5HP급 Scroll Type의 Compressor가 장착되어 있으며, 봉입압력 250Psig에 저압 100Psig기준, 65scfm의 유량을 가지는 압축기이다. 압축기와 Cryocooler의 조합은 1:1이었고 시험방법은 Cryocooler에 대한 GVT 자체규정에 따라 진행되었으며 밤과 낮 및 공장전체의 부하변동에 따른 냉각수 온도변화에 따른 펌프의 성능변화는 고려되지 않았다.
