The purpose of present study is to investigate the influence of a spinal gamma-aminobutyric acid B($GABA_B$) receptor on a central regulation of blood pressure(BP) and heart rate(HR), and to define its mechanism in the spinal cord. In urethane-anesthetized, d-tubocurarine-paralyzed and artificially ventilated male Sprague-Dawley rats, intrathecal administration of drugs were carried out using injection cannula(33-gauge stainless steel) through the guide cannula(PE 10) which was inserted intrathecally at lower thoracic level through the puncture of a atlantooccipital membrane. Intrathecal injection of an $GABA_B$ receptor agonist, baclofen(30, 60, 100 nmol) decreased both BP and HR dose-dependently. Pretreatment with 8-bromo-cAMP(50 nmol), a cAMP analog, or glipizide(50 nmol), a ATP-sensitive $K^+$ channel blocker, attenuated the depressor and bradycardic effects of baclofen(100 nmol), but not with 8-bromo-cGMP(50 nmol), a cGMP analog. These results suggest that the $GABA_B$ receptor in the spinal cord plays an inhibitory role in central cardiovascular regulation and that this depressor and bradycardic actions are mediated by the decrease of cAMP via the inhibition of adenylate cyclase and the opening of $K^+$ channel.

To develop a microcomputer-based data acquisition system for measurement of variables such as temperature and weight in food process, a low-cost data acquisition system was developed using an Apple II microcomputer. The system consisted of a microcomputer, a temperature sensor made of pt-100, a strain gauge load cell for weighing, a preamplifier for signal conditionings and an interface device. Interface device was built with programmable interface chip MC 6821, tristate buffer 74244 and analog-to-digital converter ADC 0809. The analog signals of temperature and weight were serially acquisited upon the program. The BASIC language was used for operating the data acquisition and data handling programs. The system successfully measured the variables such as temperature and weight with various sampling intervals in food dehydration process.

This paper presents the real-time water tank wireless control in a ship using duplex RF modules and PLC(Programmable logic Controller). The purpose of this paper is developing HMI(Human Machine Interface) for automation equipments. The system can low a cost because long wires are no more used. Analog signals of the water gauge and flow meter are changed to discrete signals by the micro-processor. The PLC checks the volume of water and runs On or Off of the valve and pump. Duplex RF modules send and receive data between the water tank and control room. Everywhere the Internet is used, operators are able to check the status of the system by the web-server.

사물인터넷(Internet of things)의 발전과 함께 스마트 팩토리에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 제조의 전 과정에서 발생하는 데이터를 실시간으로 수집하고 관리를 자동화하는 것이 스마트 팩토리의 목적이다. 그러나 공장에서는 현재까지도 많이 사용되는 아날로그 게이지를 관리하는 일은 사람의 노동력을 필요로 한다. 또한 아날로그 게이지는 쓰임새에 따라 모양과 형태가 매우 다양하다. 본 논문에서는 아날로그 게이지의 형태에 따라 분류하는 방법에 대해 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 학습하기 위해 필요한 게이지 영상 데이터를 수집하고 나서 각 분류에 속하는 이미지 데이터를 CNN(Convolutional Neural Network) 딥러닝 기법으로 학습시킨 후, 각 분류에 해당하는 특징 정보를 추출하고 아날로그 게이지의 형태를 인식하는 방법을 제안한다.

아날로그 게이지는 여전히 많은 산업 시설에서 사용되고 있지만, 게이지 값을 사람이 수동으로 읽기 때문에 정확히 측정하기 위해 많은 시간이 소모가 되는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 이유로 최근에는 합성곱 신경망을 사용하여 아날로그 게이지 값을 자동으로 인식하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 선행연구들은 게이지가 촬영된 영상을 그대로 입력으로 사용하고 있으며, 이러한 방법은 사람이 게이지를 읽는 과정을 고려하였을 때 불필요한 부분이 많다. 본 논문에서는 게이지 전체 이미지를 학습에 사용하지 않고, 게이지의 특정 이미지 패치 기반으로 아날로그 게이지 값을 인식하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 게이지의 중심, 눈금의 최소, 최대, 지침의 좌표를 기반으로 이미지 패치를 생성하고 채널 축으로 병합하여 학습을 진행하였으며, 최종적으로게이지의 각도를 계산한다. 이는 게이지의 평균 각도 오차를 통해 제안한 방법이 게이지 값을 인식하는데 우수한 성능이 보였으며, 게이지 이미지에 장애물이 있는 경우에도 게이지 값을 인식할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effect of DentalVibe on the level of pain experienced during anesthetic injections using 2 different techniques. Materials and Methods: This randomized crossover clinical trial evaluated 60 patients who required 2-session endodontic treatment. Labial infiltration (LI) anesthesia was administered in the anterior maxilla of 30 patients, while inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) was performed in the remaining 30 patients. 1.8 mL of 2% lidocaine was injected at a rate of 1 mL/min using a 27-gauge needle. DentalVibe was randomly assigned to either the first or second injection session. A visual analog scale was used to determine participants' pain level during needle insertion and the anesthetic injection. The paired t-test was applied to assess the efficacy of DentalVibe for pain reduction. Results: In LI anesthesia, the pain level was 12.0 ± 15.5 and 38.1 ± 21.0 during needle insertion and 19.1 ± 16.1 and 48.9 ± 24.6 during the anesthetic injection using DentalVibe and the conventional method, respectively. In IANB, the pain level was 14.1 ± 15.9 and 35.1 ± 20.8 during needle insertion and 17.3 ± 14.2 and 39.5 ± 20.8 during the anesthetic injection using DentalVibe and the conventional method, respectively. DentalVibe significantly decreased the level of pain experienced during needle insertion and the anesthetic injection in anterior LI and mandibular IANB anesthesia. Conclusions: The results suggest that DentalVibe can be used to reduce the level of pain experienced by adult patients during needle insertion and anesthetic injection.

Occupant classification and position detection have been significant research areas in intelligent safety systems in the automotive field. The detection and classification of seat occupancy open up new ways to control the safety system. This paper deals with a novel algorithm development, hardware implementation and testing of a prototype intelligent safety system for occupant classification and position detection for in-vehicle environment. Borland C++ program is used to develop the novel algorithm interface between the sensor and data acquisition system. MEMS strain gauge hermatic pressure sensor containing micromachined integrated circuits is installed inside the passenger seat. The analog output of the sensor is connected with a connector to a PCI-9111 DG data acquisition card for occupancy detection, classification and position detection. The algorithm greatly improves the detection of whether an occupant is present or absent, and the classification of either adult, child or non-human object is determined from weights using the sensor. A simple computation algorithm provides the determination of the occupant's appropriate position using centroidal calculation. A real time operation is achieved with the system. The experimental results demonstrate that the performance of the implemented prototype is robust for occupant classification and position detection. This research may be applied in intelligent airbag design for efficient deployment.

The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy between future impression and abutment impression using strain gauges. The master model used in this study was a partially edentulous mandibular metal cast with two fixture analogs on both sides. On the left, two future analogs were parallel, whereas right side, posterior future analog exhibiting a 15-degree lingual inclination. From master cast, 10 impressions were made for each of the three impression methods. The master frameworks was fabricated on the master model, and two-element strain gauge was attached to a master framework. The master framework was seated on each cast, and gold screws were tightened to 10 Ncm using a torque controller AI-1600 strain measurement system was used for strain measuring. Impression methods studied were : Group 1:abutment impression Group 2:fixture impression Group 3:combined impression (anterior:fixture impression, posterior:abutment impression) The results were as followed. 1. The strain values on X-axis and Y-axis according to the three impression methods showed no significant difference. 2. The strain values on parallel and angulated groups according to the three impression methods showed no significant difference. 3. The parallel group exhibited significantly higher accuracy in adaptation than angulated group for all experimental groups (p<0.05). In conclusion, it is considered that accuracy of implant prostheses is more affected by implant angulation than impression methods.
