We need a good image of the retina of the human eye in order to inspect or cure it. In this work, an optical system design for a retinal camera is studied and the finite schematic eye model made by Sang Gee Kim and Sung Chan Park is used. The optical system is composed of four lens groups. The rays of the entire object field are collected on the center by the 1st group and the objective is imaged by all the other groups. The image is detected by the CCD array and displayed by a monitor The 1st lens group is employed singlet and other groups are employed triplets. Ray aberrations, spot diagrams, diffraction line spread functions and MTFs are calculated for optical performance assessment. This design may be very useful for the development of a retinal camera with high performance.

The gelatinization kinetics of barley starch in dilute system (1% w/v concn.) at the temperature range of $60{\sim}95^{\circ}C$ was investigated. The gelatinization rate was extremely temperature dependent. The gelatinization at the temperature above $90^{\circ}C$ was an one step 1st order reaction throughout the gelatinization time, but that below $85^{\circ}C$ consisted of two stages which showed different reaction rates. The reaction rate of the 1 st stage was greater than that of the 2nd stage. The activation energy of the 1 st stage was 31.93 Kcal/g mole and those of the 2nd stage were 78.49 and 23.41 Kcal/g mole above and below $75^{\circ}C$, respectively.

In general, the solvability of linear robust output regulation problem are not preserved under time-sampling. Thus, it is found that the digital regulator implemented by time-sampling of analog output regulator designed based on the continuous-time linear system model is nothing but a 1st order approximation with respect to time-sampling. However, one can design an improved sampled-data regulator with respect to sampling time by utilizing teh intrinsic structure of the system. In this paper, we study the system structures for which it is possible to design an improved sampled-data regulator with respect to sampling time.

Objective : We investigated the locations of compressing vessels in hemifacial spasm. To approach compression sites, we described and evaluated the efficacy of the infranuchal infrafloccular (INIF) approach. Methods : A retrospective review of 31 consecutive patients who underwent microvascular decompression (MVD) through INIF with a minimum follow-up of 1 year was performed. Along the intracranial facial nerve, we classified the compression sites into the transitional zone (TRZ), the central nervous system (CNS) segment and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) segment. The INIF approach was used to inspect the CNS segment and the TRZ. Subdural patch graft technique was used in order to achieve watertight dural closure. The cranioplasty was performed using polymethylmethacrylate. The outcome and procedure-related morbidities were evaluated. Results : Twenty-nine patients (93%) showed complete disappearance of spasm. In two patients, the spasm was resolved gradually in 2 and 4 weeks, respectively. Late recurrence was noted in one patient (3%). The TRZ has been identified as the only compression site in 19 cases (61.3%), both the TRZ and CNS segment in 11 (35.5%) and the CNS segment only in 1 (3.2%). There was no patient having a compressing vessel in the PNS segment. Infection as a result of cerebrospinal fluid leak occurred in one patient (3%). Delayed transient facial weakness occurred in one patient. Conclusion : The TRZ and the CNS segment were more vulnerable area to the compression of vessels. We suggest that surgical avenue with the INIF approach provides early identification of this area.

The vector control technique using low-resolution Hall-effect sensors has been widely used especially in consumer electronics. Due to electrical and/or mechanical unevenness related to binary-type Hall sensors, the calculated or estimated position information has discontinuities so called bumps, which causes the deterioration of vector control performance. In order to obtain a linearly changing position signal from low-precision Hall-effect sensors, this paper proposes a simple bumps in position signal removal algorithm that consists of a first-order observer with low-pass filtering scheme. The proposed algorithm has the feature of no needs for system parameters and additional estimation processes. The validity of the proposed method is verified through simulation and experimental results.

A semicustom VLSI design fo digital filters used in TDM/FDM transmultiplexer is described. A filter bank composed of only all-pass digital filter sections are implemented with the polyphase network. The use of all-pass filters as basic building blocks is shown to provide a trans-multiplexer structure that has low computational requirements, low quantization noise, and high modularity. The silicon compiler system is used to reduce the design time and to increase the credibility of designed filters. As a prototype, 1st and 2nd order all pass filter are designed, using CMOS N-well double metal technology. The chip sizes of first order filter and the second order filter are 2652 x 533\ulcorner\ulcorner 5334x4300\ulcorner\ulcorner respectively.

In this study, a mode analysis of uncoupled system was discussed using FRF. The eigen-mode range of FRF analysis is consistent with conventional FFT in spectrum. Also, the numerical response of second order uncoupled system was obtained using the Runge-Kutta Gill method. The displacement, velocity and acceleration response were calculated after numerical analysis and its response was used for the calculation of FRF for uncoupled system. Using the separated and mixed response of 1st and 2nd mode in example, its FRF was analysed for the prediction of the uncoupled systems and its mode shape was calculated by solving the eigen problem.

In this study, the Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) was calculated in the Miho stream of the Geum river system, and the environmental ecological flow by point was evaluated. Two points (St.3 and St.8) representing the up and downstream of Miho Stream were selected, in order to calculate the Habitat Suitability Index, the depth and velocity at point where each species is appeared were investigated. The Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) was calculated by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) method using the number collected by water depth and velocity section and the results of the flow rate survey. Two target species were selected in this study; dominant species and swimming species sensitive to flow. In the case of a single species of Zacco platypus, the water depth was 0.1 - 0.5 m and the velocity was 0.2 - 0.5 m/s. For species of swimming fish, the water depth was 0.2 - 0.5 m and the velocity was 0.2 - 0.5 m/s. The discharge-Weighted Useable Area (WUA) relationship curve and habitat suitability distribution were simulated at the Miho Stream points St.3 and St.8. At the upstream St.3 of Miho Stream, the optimal discharge was simulated as 4.0 m³/s for swimming fishes and 2.7 m³/s for Zacco platypus. At the downstream point of St.8, species of swimming fish were simulated as 8.8 m³/s and Zacco platypus was simulated as 7.6 m³/s. In both points, the optimal discharge of swimming fish was over estimated. This is a result that the Habitat Suitability Index for swimming fish requires a faster flow rate than the habitat conditions of the Zacco platypus. In the calculation of the minimum discharge, the discharge of Zacco platypus is smaller and is evaluated to provide more Weighted Useable Area. In the case of swimming fishes, narrow range of depth and velocity increases the required discharge and relatively decreases the Weighted Useable Area. Therefore, when calculating the Habitat Suitability Index for swimming fishes, it is more advantageous to calculate the index including the habitat of all fish species than to narrow the range.

The closed-loop transfer function of 2-nd order PLL (phase-looked loop)of which loop filter has active-lag 1-st order is found. Considering the three criteria of system performance: the transient response time of the circuit, noise bandwidth by the linear analysis and stability which uses root-locus method, the optimum value of damping factor is 1.0 and the natural frequency which depends upon the signal frequency can be determined after consideration of the trade-off relationship between the transient response time and the noise bandwidth.

Purpose: To establish the cause of decrease in body stability and to analyze the effects on sensory organs maintaining static balance according to the induced astigmatic blur. Methods: Twenty subjects (10 males, 10 females; mean age, $23.40{\pm}2.70years$) were participated in this study. To induce myopic simple astigmatism, the axis directions of cylindrical lenses were placed $180^{\circ}$ on both eyes (with-the-rule), $90^{\circ}$ on both eyes (against-the-rule), and $45^{\circ}$ on both eyes (oblique). Cylindrical lenses of +0.50, +1.00, +1.50, +2.00, +3.00, +4.00, and +5.00 D were used to increase astigmatic blur in each astigmatism types. General stability (ST) and sway power (SP) in frequencies by each sensory organs were analyzed using the TETRAX biofeedback system. Results: ST in the all astigmatism types were raised with increase of astigmatic blur compared to full corrected condition, but a significant difference only showed in the induced oblique astigmatism. According to the results of correlation analysis between ST and SP in the each frequencies with increase of astigmatic blur, the causes of increased ST in the induced oblique astigmatism showed to have a high correlation in order of somatosensory system (high-medium frequency), central nervous system (high frequency), peripheral vestibular system (low-medium frequency), and visual system (low frequency). Conclusions: The visual information by uncorrected oblique astigmatism may disturb the normal functions of all sensory organs maintaining body balance, consequently, the body stability can be reduced. Therefore, optimal correction of astigmatism can play an important role for reducing the instability of body balance.
