Cochlear implant (CI) is an auditory prosthesis that delivers electrical stimulation via inserted electrodes into a cochlea. To evaluate CI performance, it is important to understand how auditory nerves are responded to electrical stimulations. In clinic, electrically evoked compound action potential (ECAP) is measured. In this study, we developed 3D finite element (FE) cochlear model to simulate ECAP in response to electrical stimulation. The model prododuced ECAP similar to that measured in animal experiments and clinics. This 3D FE cochlear model could be used in electrical stimulus method study to improve CI by analyzing neural responses to electrical stimulations.

A permeation apparatus has been devdoped which could make the on-line measurements of both flux and permeate composition. Pervaporative experiment of a single component, i.e. water was performed by using poly(vinyl alcohol) membrane crosslinked with glutaraldehyde to confirm the validity of the apparatus. In the experiment, steady-state permeation was obtained in 15 minutes and the measurement could be completed within 20 minutes. A comparison of the on-line measurement was made with the fluxes measured simultaneously by the conventional method in which the permeates were collected by liquid nitrogen. The on-line measurement by the apparatus showed an excellent agreement with the conventional measurement within a difference of $\pm$2%. From the flux data with operating time, 3 kinds of diffusion coefficients of water $D_{slope}, D_{1/2}$, and $D_t$ were determined, which were also coincident with values in a literature. It was confirmed that accurate measurements of fluxes could be obtained from the apparatus.

This study analyzes differences between the results of 3D direct measurements and automated measurements for Korean elderly females according to age groups, side somatotype, and BMI groups. This study compares the measurement differences of the direct and the 3D automated measurements for women between the ages of 70 to 85, according to age group, BMI group, and side somatotype. A comparison of the results of the direct measurement and the 3D automated measurements for elderly women show that a meaningful discrepancy exists for 29 items out of 33 items. Furthermore, the results of comparing the average error tolerance recommended by ISO20685 shows that 30 items out of 33 items exceeded ISO recommendations. The results of the automated measurement program shows a higher degree of accuracy for straight postures; however, this unsuitable for postures of elderly women with a changed somatotype. The analysis results of the measurement difference indicate the suitability of the automatic measurement programs is found to be high for stood postures, while problems seem to exist on several items along with an automated program is not appropriately used due to posture and part of body changes for elderly women. Therefore, it is recommended to develop an algorithm, that reflects the body changes of elderly women first and then upgrade the automated program equipped with a measurement size method. It is hoped that the study results can be utilized as base data for improving the automated measurement program.

본 논문에서는 3D Skeleton Model로부터 획득된 관절 정보를 이용하여 제스처를 인식할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 사람의 신체 크기나 비율은 다르더라도 구조는 같다는 사실을 바탕으로, 관절과 관절이 이루는 각도를 이용해 제스처를 인식한다. 몇 가지 제스처를 선정한 뒤, 실험을 통해 제안한 방법의 인식률을 측정해 보았다. 또한 동적 제스처 인식을 위한 기초를 다지기 위해 이동 방향과 이동 거리, 이동 위치를 측정하는 실험을 해 보았다.

In this study, we investigated visual fatigue in i3D system and basic factors that contribute to visual fatigue in the system. i3D is a type of glasses-free display which supports elementary manual interaction of users with the display. In Experiment 1, we performed open-ended survey of visual fatigue and collected responses from observers which then were used as survey questions for visual fatigue. The questions were validated by factor analysis from which we derived fatigue measurement scale. In Experiment 2, we measured visual fatigue in various conditions using survey questions obtained from Experiment 1. Using manual interaction (present/absent), viewing distance(1/2/4m), and viewing orientation($0/28/56^{\circ}$) as three factors in within-subject design, we measured visual fatigue in each condition. The results indicated that visual fatigue deceases with farther viewing distance, but viewing orientation and manual interaction does not influence visual fatigue. Although fatigue unexpectedly decreased in an extreme viewing condition (e.g., distance 1m, orientation $56^{\circ}$), the results were obtained because of technical limitation of glasses-free 3D display. General discussion provides discussion on limits of the current study and suggestions for future research.

We have demonstrated a $Ti:LiNbO_3$ electro-optic electric-field sensors utilizing a $1{\times}2$ Y-fed balanced-bridge Mach-Zehnder interferometric (YBB-MZI) modulator which uses a 3-dB directional coupler at the output and dipole patch antenna. The operation and design were proved by the BPM simulation. A dc switching voltage of ~16.6 V and an extinction ratio of ~14.7 dB are observed at a wavelength of $1.3{\mu}m$. For a 20 dBm rf power, the minimum detectable electric-fields are ~1.12 V/m and ~3.3 V/m corresponding to a dynamic range of about ~22 dB and ~18 dB at frequencies 10 MHz and 50 MHz, respectively. The sensors exhibit almost linear response for the applied electric-field intensity from 0.29 V/m to 29.8 V/m.

Noncontact measuring methodology of 3-dimensional profile using CCD camera are very attractive because of it's high measuring speed and it's high sensitivity. Especially when projecting a grid pattern over the object, the captured image have 3 dimensional information of the object. Projection moire extract 3-D information with another grid pattern in front of CCD camera. However phase measuring profilometry(PMP) obtain similar results without additional grid pattern. In this paper, the projection moire are compared with the PMP mathematically, and it is shown that PMP can generate moire image with simple mathematical computations. Experimental works are also carried out showing the same results. It is shown that using a single gird pattern, moire image can be obtained directly without any mathematical operation when some conditions are satisfied.

This study analyzed the effect by comparing it with 2D game using playtest experimental treatment methodology to verify the video effect, materiality and fatigue effect of 3D video game. First, for the hypothesis to verify the difference of video experience of users for 3D and 2D games, visual clarity was rejected, but materiality, tangibility and presence hypotheses were all accepted. Second, it was shown that there was no difference in eye fatigue and physical fatigue in 3D and 2D games. It was different from results of existing research which claimed that fatigue occurred due to video distortion occurring in 3D video and fatigue inducing factors. Third, the results of measurement of changes in brain wave occurring in the course of playing 3D and 2D games showed that there was no difference in average amplitude of EEG alpha wave, but EEG beta wave occurred in higher amplitude. This study proved the cerebral physiological change and difference in the process of experience to use 3D video game by complementing the methodology in measurement in EEG brain wave in the traditional experimental method.

LEDs(Light Emitting Diodes) are becoming widely used and increasingly in demand. Quality inspection of the LEDs has become more important. Two-dimensional inspection systems are limited in inspection capability, so threedimensional(3-D) inspection systems are needed. In this paper, a cost-effective and simple 3-D measurement system of LED packages using phase measuring profilometry(PMP) is proposed. The proposed system uses a pico projector to project sinusoidal fringe patterns and to shift phases instead of piezocrystal. It was evaluated using extremely accurate gauge blocks, yielding excellent repeatability of about 12 um(3-sigma). 3-D measurements of various LED packages were performed to demonstrate the applicability and efficiency of the proposed system.
