해안 및 해양구조물 하부의 해저지반에 고파랑이 장시간 작용하는 경우 과잉간극수압(진동과잉간극수압과 잔류과잉간극수압의 합)이 크게 발생할 수 있고, 이어지는 유효응력의 감소에 따라 해저지반에 액상화가 발생될 수 있다. 일단, 지반액상화가 발생 및 진행되면 구조물의 침하 혹은 전도에 의해 종국적으로 구조물이 파괴될 가능성이 높아진다. 특히, 중력식구조물이 설치된 하부지반내에서는 파작용에 의한 큰 과잉간극수압과 작은 유효응력으로 부터 발생되는 지반액상화의 여부를 정확히 예측할 필요가 있고, 이러한 지반의 동적거동 특성은 설계에 충분히 반영되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 2차원수치파동수로를 불규칙파동장으로 확장한 수치해석법을 적용하여 해저지반상 및 구조물의 표면상에서 시간변동의 동파압과 유속에 의한 전단응력을 산정하고, 그 결과를 지반의 동적거동을 정밀하게 재현할 수 있는 해저지반응답용의 수치해석프로그램 FLIP(Finite element analysis LIquefaction Program)에 입력치로 적용하여 해저지반내에서 과잉간극수압 및 유효응력의 시공간적인 변화, 이로 인한 액상화, 그리고 지반의 시간변형과 구조물의 시간변위를 정량적으로 평가한다. 이로부터 해저면상에서 전단응력을 고려한 경우 구조물 전면의 하부해저지반에서 액상화 가능성을 확인할 수 있었고, 액상화된 토립자는 흐름에 저항력을 상실하므로 세굴로 이어질 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 태풍시 고파랑의 작용이 장시간 지속되는 경우 구조물의 전면에서는 지반액상화로 인한 지반강도의 현저한 저하로 구조물의 진동변위가 더욱 크게 발생되고, 더불어 구조물의 안정성에 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상된다.

건설교통부는 2007. 1. 1 (2009.12. 신구좌표병행) 세계측지계 전면 시행 방침에 따라 철도측량의 내실화 그리고 기술력 제고를 위하여 호남고속철도건설 사업수행에 요구되는 수치지도를 항공측량을 통해 제작하였으며 이와 함께 철도기준점(GPS 정밀 3등기준점)측량을 실시하여 보다 정밀한 철도 중심선형 좌표값 과 수준값을 획득할 수 있었다. 국토지리정보원은 측지좌표계로의 변환을 위해 국가좌표변환계수 및 왜곡량 모델을 고시하였다. 이러한 좌표변환은 공통기준점(Common Point)의 성과 및 망구성의 강도(strength), 기준점밀도 등에 의해 결정된다. 호남고속철도의 경우 좌표변환을 위해 공통기준점을 새로히 설치하지 않고 중심측량 및 종횡단측량을 위해 이미 구축된 철도기준점을 공통기준점으로 가정하여 변환을 실시하고자 한다. 따라서 본 논문은 남북축으로 계획된 호남고속철도 사례를 통해 현재의 계획노선을 선형 중심축으로 가정하고 철도기준점을 이용한 좌표변환을 실시후 결과에 대한 분석을 통해 변환가능성 여부를 판단하고자 한다. 좌표변환 실시 후 분석결과 Y축 왜곡량 값이 최소 21cm에서 최대 40cm까지 완만한 직선축으로 감소함을 확인할 수 있었고, X축은 $14cm{\sim}29cm$ 의 왜곡량을 보였으며 이러한 왜곡량을 보정한 결과 좌표간 편차량이 $6mm{\sim}9mm$로 국토지리정보원의 세계측지계 변환지침에 에 따른 허용오차 및 지적경계측량 허용오차인 10cm를 만족시켰다. 따라서 철도기준점을 공통기준점(Common Point)으로 이용한 철도중심선형의 좌표변환이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.<0.05), 부착치은의 폭경에서는 유치 초기와 그 계승영구치 최종값사이에 통계적으로 유의성 있는 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 5. 점막치은 문제 발현 빈도는 남녀에 상관없이 유치열은 상하악 제 1유구치가, 영구치열은 상하악 모두 제 1소구치가 최고치를 나타냈으며 유치에서보다 그 대응 계승영구치에서 그 빈도가 더욱 높게 나타났다. 연령증가에 따라 점막치은 문제의 발현 빈도는 유치열, 영구치열에서 모두 감소하였으나, 하악 제1유구치, 하악 영구 견치, 제1, 제2소구치의 경우 연령의 증가와 상관없이 비슷하게 유지되거나 증가하는 경향을 보였다.합필름에서 PET/PVDC/Al-vac/PE필름은 장기저장시 사용이 좋을 것으로 사료된다. 2) 질소가스 및 탄산가스투과도 각각 $61.6{\mu}PVDC/PE/Al-vac/CPS\;12.5,\;59.8>96.9{\mu}PE/PVDC/PE\;7.1,\;42.0>79.3{\mu}ET/PVDC/L-LDPE\;6.4,\;34.2>72.2{\mu}PET/PVDC/PE/Al-vac/PE\;0.74,\;4.2cc/m^2.24hr{\cdot}atm$으로 가장 우수한 PET/PVDC/PE/Al-vac/PE 복합필름이 장기저장용으로 이용이 좋을 것으로 사료된다.태발생을 연구하는데 기초적인 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 조사한 결과 유의확률이 0.05 이하인 수치들은 Hb과 Albumin, K, Na간, Neutrophil과 Leukocyte간이었고 상관계 수치는 $0.370{\sim}0.442$ 사이로 나타났다. 유의확률 0.01이하로 조사된 수치는 Cholesterol과 ALT간, LD

이 논문은 현재에 통용되고 있는 동합금판 C2200, C5210, C7701, C8113 등의 특징 및 용도와 소재의 재질적 특성을 data화하였고, 그 표현의 가능성을 조사하여 수치화하였고, 그 기법실험의 1단계로서 일반접합과 TIG 접합에 대하여, 2단계 실험으로서 망상조직기법과 전해주조기법에 대하여 농하였으며, 이 기법을 응용한, 연구작품의 3가지 사례를 다루었다. 이 때 사용한 동합금은 (주)풍산금속 소재기술연구소 이동우 박사가 지원한 4가지 동합금, 즉 단동, 스프링용 인청동, 스프링용 양백, 백동을 사용하여, 적층기법, 망상조직기법, 융합기법, 전해주조기법을 작품에 따라서 통합 또는 부분적으로 적용시켰다. C2200 의 경우, 황동은 2mm이하의 박판(薄板)에서는 교류 TIG 용접법이 좋으며 그 이상에서는 직류 정극성 TIG 용접법으로, 용접에 의한 잔류 응력부식을 열처리를 250~300도에서 행한다. C5210 의 경우는 고온의 환원성기(還元性氣)중에서도 수소(水素) 취성이 없고 고온에서 O를 흡수하지 않으며, 경화(輕化) 온도도 약간 높아, 용접용으로 매우 적합하다. 일반적으로 Sn을 2-9% P를 0.03-0.4%정도 포함하고 있는데, Sn의 함유량이 증가함에 따라 응고 온도 범위가 광범위해졌으며 용접후의 냉각 시, 열분열 방지에는 TIG용접의 용접속도를 빠르게, 용융지(溶融池)를 작게, 예열 온도는 200도로 하는 것이 좋다. C7701의 경우는 조성범위가 10-20% Ni, 15-30% Zn의 것이 많이 사용된다. 약 30% Zn 이상이 되면(${\alpha}+{\beta}$) 조직이 되어 점성이 낮아지고 냉간 가공성은 저하하나 열간 가공성은 좋다. 양백은 또한 전기저항이 높고 내열, 내식성이 좋다. C8113의 경우는 내해수성, 내마모성이 우수하며 고온 강도가 높고 백동은 10-30% 니켈을 포함하며 완전히 고용(固溶)해서 단상(單相)이 된다. 이 때문에 결정입(結晶粒)도 크게 되기 쉬우며, 구속이 강한 경우 미량의 Pb, P, S라는 분열 감수성이 높아진다.

에디 공분산 방법(eddy covariance method)을 이용한 이산화탄소($CO_2$), 수증기($H_2O$), 현열(sensible heat)의 순생태계과환량[net ecosystem exchange (NEE)]은 에디 플럭스(eddy flux, $F_c$)와 저장 플럭스(storage flux, $F_s$)의 합으로 어림한다. 스칼라의 흡원과 발원의 세기와 분포, 연직 난류 혼합의 정도에 따라 스칼라의 변화율은 높이에 따라 다르게 나타난다. 따라서 정확한 $F_s$를 얻기 위해서는 프로파일 시스템을 운용하여 높이에 따라 달라지는 스칼라의 변화율을 고려하여야 한다. 하지만 아시아의 대부분의 농경지 관측지에서는 프로파일 시스템을 운용하지 않고, $F_c$ 관측 지점과 지면 사이에서 높이와 관계없이 스칼라 변화율이 동일하다는 가정하에 에디 공분산 시스템에서 관측되는 스칼라 변화율 만으로 $F_s$를 산정한다. 본 연구에서는 논에서 에디 공분산 관측 높이에서 측정된 $F_s$(프로파일 시스템에서 관측된 단일 높이의 스칼라만을 이용한 $F_s$, $F_s_{-single}$)와 프로파일 관측(에디 공분산 관측지점과 지면 사이의 여러 높이에서 스칼라 관측)을 이용한 FS와의 차이를 정량화하고, $F_s_{-single}$로 NEE를 산정할 때 발생하는 오차를 확인하기 위해, 경기도 여주에 위치한 청미천 농경지 플럭스 관측지(Chengmicheon Farmland Korea, CFK)에서 에디공분산 방법과 프로파일 시스템을 이용해 $CO_2$, $H_2O$, 기온($T_a$)의 $F_c$와 $F_s$를 측정하였다. $CO_2$, $H_2O$, $T_a$는 흡원과 발원의 강도와 분포, 대기 경계층의 안정도에 따라 높이별로 변화율이 달랐고, 그 결과 $F_s_{-single}$은 $F_s$를 과소 또는 과대 평가하였다[특히, 해질 녘과 해 뜰 녘(0430-0800h와 1630-2000h)에 $CO_2$의 $F_s$를 평균 21% 과소평가]. $F_s_{-single}$로 인해 발생하는 NEE 계산의 오차는 $F_{CO_2}$의 경우, 하루 중 시간에 따라 밤(2030-0400h), 해 질 녘과 해 뜰 녘에 각각 평균적으로 3%, 2%씩 $F_{CO_2}$를 과소평가했다. 이러한 차이는 $F_{CO_2}$의 야간 자료 보정과 분배의 과정에서 논의 탄소수지를 과소평가하게 할 수 있다. 이와는 다르게 LE, H의 경우 시간에 관계없이 거의 차이를 보이지 않았다.

본 논문에서는 프레임율의 저하없이 개선된 해상도를 얻을 수 있는 동시 다중 송신집속 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 기법은 짧은 펄스를 사용하여 한 영역에 고정 송신 집속하는 기존의 방법과는 달리 여러 송신 집속점에 서로 독립적으로 집속된 쳐프 신호들을 동시에 송신한다. 수신된 신호는 정합 과정을 통하여 송신 집속 위치에 따라 각 쳐프 신호로 분리되고 짧은 펄스로 압축된다. 이렇게 압축되고 분리된 신호들은 각각 수신 동적 집속된 후 거리에 따라 집속 위치별로 선택되고 하나의 신호로 결합되어 개선된 측방향 해상도의 영상을 구성한다. 송신시 동시에 여러 위치에 초음파를 집속하고 수신시 이를 분리하기 위해서 사용된 터프 신호들은 주파수 대역에서 분할되어 서로 직교 특성을 갖도록 설계되었는데 변환자의 제한된 대역폭내에 많은 수의 의미있는 쳐프 신호를 설계하기 위해서 인접한 두 쳐프 신호의 주파수 대역 겹침을 허용하였다. 이때 대역 겹침으로 발생한 상호상관값의 상승을 억제하기 위해 인접한 두 쳐프 신호의 주파수 변화 방향을 엇갈리게 하는 밥법을 제안하였다. 특히 대역분할로 설계된 쳐프 신호중 낮은 주파수 성분의 신호를 변환자로부터 가까운 지역에 집속하고 높은 주파수 성분의 쳐프 신호를 먼 지역에 집속함으로써 깊이에 따라 영상의 해상도의 질을 일정하게 유지시켰다 더욱이 상관기를 이용한 정합 과정에서 신호가 압축되기 때문에 펄스 압축 기법에서 얻는 SNR를 증가시키는 이점이 있다 이때 상관기를 통한 압축 과정에서 쳐프 신호의 첨두값이 쳐프 신호의 길이에 따라 증가하기 때문에 깊이에 따를 높은 주파수 성분의 감쇄에도 불구하고 이렇게 높은 주파수 성분의 터프 신호를 깊은 지역에 사용할 수 있었다. 제안한 동시 다중 송신집속 기반의 시스템을 상관기의 위치에 따라 이상적인 구조와 현실적인 구조로 나타냈으며, 모사 실험을 통하여 기존의 펄스 집속 기법과 비교하여 그 성능을 검증하였다.hrough the medium. By digitizing the analog receiver outputs, and recording the signals for spectral analysis, surface wave velocities can be identified. Modifications to the SASW method includes the reduction of boundary reflections as adopted on the surface waves before the point where the reflected compression waves reach the receivers. In this study, the correlation between the surface wave velocity and the compressive strength of cement mortar is developed using one 36"x36"x4"(91.44$\times$91.44$\times$91.44 cm) cement mortar slab of 2,000 psi (140 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$) and two 36"x36"x4"(91.44$\times$91.44$\times$91.44 cm) cement mortar slabs of 3,000 psi (210 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$). public transportation, and availability of locally grown food were the important factors for deciding the place compared to those who had higher education.

이 연구에서는 천예록 소재 <옥소선 이야기>를 통해 작중 인물의 소시민적 욕망의 면모를 살펴보고자 하였다. 소시민적 인물의 욕망과 그 지향성은 다분히 세속적이며 이기적이다. 이러한 인물상은 봉건사회에서 근대사회로 이행하는 시기에 대두하기 시작한 중립적 존재로서의 소시민적 특성과 많이 닮아있다. 이 소시민이란 개념은 현대의 대중 및 서민의 한 특성을 가리키는 데에도 자주 사용된다. 소시민적 태도에 대한 지금의 이해와 작품 속 인물들의 특성은 크게 다르지 않다. 소시민에게 중요한 것은 사회에 대한 원대한 지배이념이나 현실개혁 의지가 아니라, 무엇보다 자기 삶의 만족을 이루고자 하는 현실적이고도 일상적인 욕망의 성취와 안정이다. 이에 주체가 어떠한 욕망을 가지는 지에 따라 충족의 태도와 과정에서 반사회적이거나 이기적인 경계적 특성이 나타나기도 한다. 그러나 그 행동의 반경은 거대한 현실의 지배체제 속에 국한되어 있고, 자신의 소유와 만족을 충족하는 것에 개인적인 삶의 목표가 그치는 것이 특징이다. 이는 생이 사랑을 추구하기 위해 가족과 사회를 저버리고 자란과의 결연을 충족하지만, 반사회적 태도로 끝까지 사회와 대립하기 보다는 과거급제를 통해 가정과 사회 속의 재진입하여 안정을 획득하는 것과 통한다. 또한 본 작품이 현재적으로 유의미한 이유는 사랑이라는 인간 본연의 자기 욕망을 발견하고, 그것을 긍정하여 충족하고자 반봉건적 행위-불효, 불충, 불열-마저 감행하며 움직인 생의 주체적 행보에 있다. 이러한 생의 욕망 추구에 힘입어 옥소선도 관기라는 자신의 신분적 굴레를 벗어나 사랑의 주체가 되고자 하는 자기욕망을 긍정하게 되어 사회제도로부터 일탈하는 것이다. 나아가 이 과정에서 자기 행적의 사회적 한계점을 인식하고, 이를 보완하기 위해 자구적 방식으로 노력한다. 이에 과거급제라는 개인의 지적능력 실현으로 사회에 재진입하는 점에서 소시민적 욕망의 성취와 한계의 일면을 찾을 수 있다. 조선 후기 근대로의 이행기 때에는 개인적 욕망과 자유의지에 목마른 근대적 인간형과 함께 주체적 삶에 대해 아직 이질적 몰이해 상태인 봉건적인 인간형이 혼재되어 있었을 것이다. 이는 지금, 여기의 현재적 상황과도 크게 다르지 않다. 작품은 현실의 거대한 장벽 안에서 왜소한 '자기'의 존재적 각성과 미진하게나마 발현되는 주체적 욕망에 큰 가치를 부여하며 이를 조명하고 있다. 나아가 현실논리 속에 실패를 경험한 개인의 경험과 각고의 노력을 소소한 성취로서 긍정한다. 이렇듯 스스로의 만족을 향한 행복을 능동적으로 추구하며 인간답게 사는 삶을 권면한다는 점에서 본 작품은 현대 독자들에게도 여전히 유효한 문학적 의미를 발한다.

윌버(Ken Wilber, 1949~)는 역사적으로 볼 때 학문적 교류가 활발한 현대가 그 어느 때보다도 세계철학이 가능한 시대임을 강조하며 통합적 접근을 시도한다. 그는 통합적 모델로 향하는 첫 걸음으로 '온 상한' 즉 '사상한(四象限)'을 제시한다. 더 나아가 그의 사상한은 AQAL(All Quadrant, All Level ; 모든 수준, 모든 레벨)로 구체화 되었다. 모든 문제를 뚜렷하게 사분위(四分位)(내부/외부, 단수/복수 혹은 주관/객관, 간주관성/간객관성)로 나누어 보는 사상한의 접근법은 그 응용분야가 확대되어 생태학, 경영, 범죄학, 의료 등등의 분야에 적용되고 있다. 그의 사상한이 갖는 장점은 주관적인 내면[문화적 요소]을 외재적인 실재인 물질[사회 제도]로 환원시켜 버리는 평원(平原)이 지닌 문제점을 해결하고 모든 문제를 포괄적인 관점에서 대안을 모색한다는 데 있다. 시기적으로 앞서는 동무 이제마(1837~1900)의 사상설(四象說)(사심신물(事心身物), 천인성명(天人性命))은 사분위라는 큰 틀로 보면, 내용면에서 윌버의 사상한과 적확(的確)하게 일치한다. '사상학(四象學)' 혹은 '사상의학(四象醫學)'이라고 불리듯이 동무의 저작 전반에 걸쳐 일관되게 나타나는 사상(四象)(사심신물(事心身物))은 우주만물의 구성을 설명하기 위한 기본적인 요소들이다. 천인성명(天人性命)은 사심신물이라는 우주의 사원구조를 인간(人間)(인체(人體))을 중심으로 파악한 결과다. 다시 말해 사상설은 우주와 인간을 윌버식의 포괄적인 관점으로 바라본 것이다. 이미 동무의 사상설은 칼 융(C. G. Jung, 1875~1961)의 심리학과 대비되어 양자간(兩者間)의 이론적 기반을 확인하고 그 적용 범위를 넓혀나가는데 도움을 주고 있다. 동무의 사상설과 윌버의 사상한의 대비(對比) 역시 단순한 유비(類比)에 그치는 것이 아니다. 비교하자면, 동무의 사상설은 윌버의 그것에 비해 의학적(醫學的) 측면(側面)에서는 보다 정교하게 심화되고 구체화된 사상한의 모습을 보여준다. 단지 질병을 바라보는데 그치지 않고 생리(生理) 병리(病理) 현상의 원인과 그것이 도출되는 과정을 사상한을 통해 설명하고 있다.

해자란 성벽 외곽에 파 놓은 못 또는 물길로 적이 성벽에 직접 접근할 수 없도록 하거나 이를 경계로 공간을 구분하고자 설치된 시설의 하나로, 고대로부터 중세에 이르기까지 동 서양에서 존재하였으나 현재는 사라져 가고 있다. 그러나 군사적 방어 기능으로부터 공간을 구분하는 경계 수단으로, 지반을 다지는 중요한 역할을 하였으며, 역사적으로 고대로부터 중세, 유럽, 아시아, 미국 등에서 존재하였다. 또한 해자는 물을 이용한 다양한 문화 활동과 동물들의 서식처 장소를 제공하는 등 역사와 문화적 가치가 큰 공간임에도 불구하고, 복원 계획에 있어 해자의 복원에 대한 고려가 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구는 동 서양 해자의 역사와 문화적 의미를 해석하여 고대로부터 중세에 이르기까지 존재했던 해자 문화에 대한 이해를 높이고자 하는 연구로 해자의 기원, 시대적 고찰, 사상적 배경, 서양 해자의 역사와 문화, 동양의 한국, 중국, 일본 해자에 대하여 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 우리나라의 해자는 고구려 도성뿐만 아니라 신라, 백제의 도성에 모두 존재하였으며, 천연의 해자인 넓은 강을 끼고 적들이 기어오르기 힘든 산 능선을 따라 성을 쌓은 자연적 해자와 성벽 밖에 인공적 해자를 설치하여 적의 접근을 방지하였다. 또한 고려시대와 조선시대에도 해자를 방어적 기능으로 활용하였다. 2. 해자의 설치는 성벽에서 일정한 간격을 두고 넓고 깊게 파는 것이 보통이며, 성의 외곽에만 있는 것이 아니라 내부에도 시설이 설치되었는데, 성 밖에 있는 해자는 방어력을 높이는 것 외에도 지반을 다지는데 중요한 역할을 하였다. 또한 해자는 물이 있어 접근을 제한하며, 낮은 벽이나 담장은 경계를 물리적으로 분리시키지만 해자는 열린 공간으로 시각적 특성을 살려 경계 및 방어 수단을 가지면서 멀리 떨어진 산봉우리나 근처의 나무도 정원 안으로 차경할 수 있게 한다. 3. 낙안읍성은 풍수지리적으로 청룡(동천)의 기가 드센 관계로 청룡의 흐름을 "S"자로 꺾어 흐르게 함으로써 기를 꺾을 수 있었으며, 몽촌토성은 해자의 복원으로 공원에 풍부한 수경 요소를 제공하는 경관요소로 활용하였다. 성을 둘러싸고 있는 해자는 자연이라는 진경 속에 선조들의 삶과 문화가 공간 속에 설득력 있게 배어든 역사와 문화적 경관이 표상이다. 4. 중국의 자금성 성벽은 찹쌀에 흙을 반죽하여 다져 넣어 매우 견고하며, 해자의 폭은 52m, 깊이는 6m로 자금성 성벽을 에워싸고 있어 적의 접근을 차단할 수 있었다. 5. 일본의 해자는 도시에 있어 수로 역할을 하였으며, 보트놀이, 배낚시, 레스토랑 등의 레저시설이 설치되어 도시민들의 스트레스를 해소하고 삶의 활력을 불어 넣을 수 있었다. 6. 한국의 해자는 중국의 자금성, 일본의 에도성, 오사카성보다 규모가 작으며 동양의 해자는 왕궁이나 읍성을 보호하기 위해 해자를 설치하였으나, 서양에서는 왕이나 영주, 대저택, 부호들의 저택 등을 보호하기 위해 해자를 설치하였다.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model.

The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N.

And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique.

Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used.

The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70${\pm}$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32${\pm}$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500,550,570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500,550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100,300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs.

Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3,000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules.
