In this study, we introduce a triple-band flexible implantable antenna that is tuned by using a ground slot in three specific bands, namely Medical Implanted Communication Service (MICS: 402-405 MHz) for telemetry, the midfield band (lower gigahertz: 1.45-1.6 GHz) for Wireless Power Transfer (WPT), and the Industrial, Scientific and Medical band (ISM: 2.4-2.45 GHz) for power conservation. This antenna is wrapped inside a printed 3D capsule prototype to show its applicability in different implantable or ingestible devices. The telemetry performance of the proposed antenna was simulated and measured by using a porcine heart. From the simulation and measurement, we found that use of a ground slot in the implantable antenna can improve the antenna performance and can also reduce the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).

Fish are an essential resource in human society, and while ecological research on them is challenging, it is absolutely necessary. Recent technologies enabled researchers to monitor underwater fish behavior. Acoustic signals, satellite-mediated location estimation, and light-based geolocation are powerful tools for tracking fish movements from freshwater to deep-sea habitats. These tools allow us to track various fish species and elucidate their ecology. Furthermore, based on these technologies, we can develop fisheries management plans and enhance aquaculture productivity. In this review, we also discuss challenges in improving current technologies and provide future recommendations for fish bio-logging studies.

A dual-band bio-implantable compact antenna with a meander-line structure is presented. The proposed meander-line antenna resonates at the industrial, scientific, and medical (2.4 GHz) and wireless medical telemetry (1.4 GHz) bands. The meander-line structure is selected as a radiating patch given its versatile and effective design. With a dimension of only 10 mm × 10 mm × 0.635 mm, the designed antenna is compact. Considering a skin phantom, the proposed antenna was designed, optimized, and simulated. The Rogers RT/duroid 6010 substrate material with high dielectric constant was used to fabricate the meander-line dual-band implantable antenna, which was validated experimentally. The superstrate was made of the same material. Experiments were conducted on skin-mimicking gel. The designed meander-line antenna has a high peak gain of -21 dBi at 2.4 GHz, and its maximum specific absorption rate is compliant with IEEE safety standards.

공사 소음이 공사장 주변의 양식 가물치 (체장 44cm)의 유영행동에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 조사하기 위하여 1993년 9월 12일 경기도 평택시 신대리의 아산호 부근에 위치한 육상 양어장에서 파일작업전과 파일작업중의 소음 레벨과 진동을 측정하고, 바이오 텔레메트리 기법을 사용하여 유영행동을 측정하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 파일작업중 소음원으로 부터 약 90m의 거리에서 측정한 수중 소음 레벨, 공중 소음 레벨 및 진동 변위는 파일 작업전에 비하여 각각 36.5dB$(re\;l{\mu}Pa)$, 23dB$(re\;0.0002{\mu}bar)$ 및 $5.9{\mu}m$로 증가하였다. 2) 유영속도의 변화 폭은 자극을 가한 초기에 크고, 자극이 계속되면 그 변동폭은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 활동량은 야간 보다 주간이 많고, 심한 자극을 받으면 상하운동을 많이 하며 양어장 바닥의 진흙 속으로 도피하는 경우도 있음을 알 수 있었다. 3) 파일작업중의 평균 유영속도는 0.50m/sec (체장대비 1.1배), 파일작업이 없을 때의 평균 유영속도는 0.36m/sec (체장대비 0.8배)이었으며, 파일작업중의 가물치의 평균 속도가 파일작업이 없을 때에 비하여 약 1.4배 빠른 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 소음이나 진동으로 인한 자극은 가물치의 생태에 상당한 영향을 미칠 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, ubiquitous health care system attaching in chair to monitor ECG for health care was developed at the unconsciousness state. The system conveniently and simple measured ECG at non-consciousness. We measured the contact impedance to skin-electrode of metal mesh electrodes of the system. Contact impedance enable the electrode to use for ECG measurement. The results are that the impedance of the metal mesh electrodes according to sizes is low when the size is 4$cm^2$. As the result, when the size of the metal mesh electrode is 4$cm^2$, the electrode is fit for ECG measurement. We can acquired by positing the arm on the metal mesh electrode. The ECG signal was detected using a high-input-impedance bio-amplifier, and then passed filter circuitry. The measured signal transmitted to a PC through the bluetooth wireless communication and monitored. Data of the non-constrained ECG system attaching in chair is noise-data when comparing metal mesh electrode with the Ag/Agcl electrode but the data is significant to monitor ECG for check the body state.

Black-tailed gulls, Larus crassirostris, have been known as resident birds in Korea, but their wintering and breeding habitat ranges were little known about. We investigated the habitat ranges of Blacktailed gulls breeding on Dokdo Island - which is the eastern end of their breeding colonies in Korea. Three adult Black-tailed gulls were fitted with Global Positioning System data loggers in May 2018 and their positions were tracked for 9 days, 245 days and 365 days each respectively. Black-tailed gulls stayed on Dokdo Island until June for breeding purposes and moved down to the southern part of Japan for wintering. The following year, a Black-tailed gull started to move northward in February and returned to Dokdo Island in April. They traveled a total of $207,334-229,507km^2$ (MCP) throughout a whole year. Based on location density categories accounting for 50% of locations, they used 3,618 to $3,803km^2$ in area. Black-tailed gulls breeding on Dokdo Island used smaller habitat ranges during the wintering period than the other periods. This is the first report on the habitat ranges of Black-tailed gulls breeding on Dokdo Island.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of the broiler's genotype ($G_t$) and ambient temperature ($T_a$) on performance and core body temperature ($T_core$) of broiler chicks. A factorial arrangement of two $G_t$ (Hubbard and ISA J57 chicks) and two $T_a$ (moderate, $23{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$ and hot, $33{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$) were used in this study. Performance data (body weight gain, feed intake and feed:gain ratio) were determined weekly for six weeks. Chicks' $T_core$ was measured using a biotelemetric system between Weeks five and six. Results showed that body weight gain and feed intake were significantly high, and feed:gain ratio was significantly low for Hubbard chicks compared to those of ISA J57 chicks. High $T_a$ significantly reduced weight gain and feed intake. Furthermore, the reduction in body weight gain and feed intake under the hot $T_a$ was more pronounced for Hubbard chicks than those of the ISA J57 chicks resulting in significant $G_t$ by $T_a$ interaction. Chicks grown under moderate $T_a$ had significantly lower $T_core$ than those grown under hot $T_a$. The $T_core$ of the Hubbard chicks was significantly lower than that of the ISA J57 at the moderate $T_a$ while under the hot $T_a$, the magnitude of the change in $T_core$ was more pronounced in Hubbard chicks than that of ISA J57; this resulted in a significant $G_t$ by $T_a$ interaction. The results of this study indicate that chicks with higher potential for growth under thermo-neutral temperature are more susceptible to heat stress than chicks with lower potential for growth. This maybe due, at least in part, to their lower body $T_core$ under moderate temperature and to the lesser ability of these fast growing chicks to regulate their $T_core$ when exposed to heat stress, as was clearly shown on these birds' performance.

본 논문은 생체 신호를 얻기 위한 생체삽입형 8-채널 바이오텔레메트리 시스템을 설계하였다. 본 시스템의 내부회로는 가능한 한 소형이고 저소비 전력화하였을 뿐만아니라 synchronization gap을 주기로 생채신호의 연속측정을 가능하도록 설계하였다. 본 시스템의 주된 기능은 생체신호 연속측정과 외부회로의 적절한 명령에 의해 생체 삽입 전지를 On, off하여 소비전력을 줄일 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 체내 삽입시스템을 집적화하기 위해 람다룰을 기본으로 한 $2{\mu}m$ n-well 설계규칙에 의해 레이아웃을 수행하였다. 그러므로 국내에서 개발되고 있는 압력센서나 ISFET 등을 본 시스템과 함께 삽입하여 생체신호, 즉 심전도, 혈류량, 혈압 등을 측정해 외부로 전송하는 의용 텔레메트리 시스템이 기대된다.

본 논문은 $1.5{\mu}m$ n-well CMOS 공정 기술에 의해 제조된 다중 바이오텔레미트리 시스템의 동작 특성을 기술하였다. 이 시스템은 체내에 삽입된 서로 다른 센서로부터 계측한 생체 정보를 무선으로 전송하여 외부에서 수신하는 것으로 8개의 피측정체로부터 선택된 7개의 생체 신호를 연속적으로 체외로 전송 한다. FM송신기와 센서 인터페이스 회로를 제외한 체내 삽입 시스템은 $4{\times}4mm^{2}$의 크기로 집적화 하였고, 집적 화한 IC는 $3{\times}3{\times}2.5cm$의 하이브리드 패키지에 수용하였다. 이 시스템의 특징은 8개의 피측정체중에서 임의의 피측정체를 선택할 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 외부 시스템의 커맨드 신호와 선택 신호에 의해 체내 삽입된 전원의 ON/OFF가 가능하다. 이와 같은 전원의 간헐적 동작으로 커맨드 수신기 자체의 소비 전력도 줄일 수 있다. 현재 국내에서 개발되고 있는 각종센서를 이 시스템과 결합해서 삽입하면 혈압 ECG, EMG, 체온 등의 생체정보를 측정하고 분석하는데 매우 편리할 것으로 기대한다.

This study aimed to examine the effect of external pop-up satellite archival tags (PSATs) attachment and water temperature on the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) of the olive flounder (mean body weight 2281.7 g). The OCRs of fish were measured under conditions of three different water temperature conditions (15, 20, and 25℃) and two different tagging methods [non-tagging, control; bio-logger external attachment with a miniature PSAT (dummy mrPAT), BEA] using a closed flow-through respirometer. The OCRs of fish linearly increased with the increase in water temperature in both the control and BEA (P<0.001); however, the OCRs of BEA were approximately 1.8-1.9 times lower than those of the control at each water temperature (P<0.001). The Q₁₀ values of the control and BEA were the highest in the water temperature range of 15 to 20℃, but sensitivity to water temperature changes was higher in BEA than in the control. The metabolic energy loss rate (MEL) of fish increased with increasing water temperature regardless of external tagging, but the MEL of the control was higher than that of BEA (P<0.001). These results demonstrate that OCR, thermal sensitivity, and energy expenditure are all affected in adult olive flounder with external PSAT attachment.
