According to the development and expansion of software and hardware about recent information technologies(IT), disabled persons in using IT seem to feel more information gap. Devices for IT are important tools for users including disabled persons to communicate with each other and get information. Although the Korea faces ageing society rapidly, products for disabled persons are seldom shown in time for use. As getting older especially, one of the body function disorders is visual disturbance. There are tools, braille lettering, for disabled persons with visual disturbance to communicate or get information from book. Compared to general books, however, braille lettering book is lack of including all of information of our society. Therefore, in this paper, we implement and show an embedded system for disabled person with visual disturbance to get information by scanning text, extγacting characters and converting the text to speech automatically.

시각장애인의 보행을 보조할 목적으로 설치된 점자보도블록은 보행방향과 정지 정보를 제공하지만, 현재 위치에 대한 정보는 제공 할 수 없어서 보행 보조물로써의 기능이 매우 제한되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 최근 IT 기술중 하나인 RFID(Radio Frequency Identification)를 내장한 새로운 개념의 점자보도블록과 이를 활용하여 보행을 유도할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 점자보도블록에는 RFID 태그와 안테나를 삽입하여 현재 위치에 대한 정보를 저장하며, 백색지팡이에는 이 정보를 읽어 들이기 위한 리더기를 설치한다. 현재위치에 대한 정보는 PDA로 전송되어 해당되는 음성정보를 시각장애인에게 전달하게 된다. 제안된 시스템을 통해 시각장애인은 타인의 도움 없이 현재 자신이 위치한 곳에 대한 정보를 얻고, 올바른 곳으로 보행중인지를 판단할 수 있게 되므로, 시각장애인의 보행권과 사회활동권등 복지 증진에 효과가 있을 것이다.

In Cis study, the problems of the correspondence of the museum to universal design have been grasped and examined. As the result, four problems have clarified as follow: (1) At the present, many barriers exist for the visually handicapped in the museum. In this case, the correspondence to universal design should be strengthened in the future by using Braille and sound to illustrate the display and guide. (2) The universal design of "the transfer of information" has been considerably retarded from the universal design of "the movements of observer" in the correspondence. The communication and information services in the museum are very important, and the correspondence is urgent. (3) It is necessary that the expert committee need to be installed to grasps and solves the barrier in the museum. (4) In order to execute the universal design in the museum, it is necessary that the consciousness of the museum's staff to universal design should be improved. should be improved.

The purpose of this study is to investigate material designation in library cataloging and to suggest General Material Designation (GMD) and Specific Material Designation(SMD) in Korean. A summary of the study follows. In library cataloging, methods of indicating the type of material are : (1) color-coding, (2) media code as part of the call number, (3) material designation in physical description area or note area, (4) GMD and SMD. GMD is a term indicating the broad class of material to which a bibliographic item belongs. SMD is a term indicating the special class of material to which a bibliographic item belongs. GMD was listed in parenthesis following the title proper before AACR1975 code, but currently it is listed in square brackets after the AACR1975 code. AACR2 was the standard cataloging rule in GMD and SMD terminology. It is suggested that GMD be used in Korean for graphic material, sound recordings, drawings, microform, multimedia, videorecordings, manuscripts, photographs, slides, printed music, motion pictures, printed texts, objects, braille, cartographic materials, computer files and transparenies.

Campus facilities were recently remodeled to provide the substantial learning rights of handicapped students in many campus to embody the dignity and value as man. So this study aims to identify the exterior connection facilities for handicapped students of S and D campuses. The summaries of this research are as follows. Installations of even crossing area(1.5mx1.5m) per 50m and even rest area(1.5mx1.5m) per 30m in walking or access ramp. Improving in accordance with exterior connection facility repairing master plan in S campus. Bringing down an angle degrees of the inclined walking or access ramp in D campus. Installation of exterior braille guide sign for blind students. All handicapped students must be guaranteed the same learning rights as normal men to remove obstacles as the upper mentioned imperfections in using exterior campus facilities.

The purpose of this paper is that which behavior is affected by the storytelling for the visually impaired children. I had a depth interview with the children and their parents who were Participated in the storytelling class, the storytelling teacher and the librarian. And then the material was analysed by the grounded theory. As a result of this research, storytelling is very helpful for the visually impaired children to improve their interest in reading, learning ability and their sociality.

시각장애자들이 음악을 듣고 음악에 대한 공부를 하기 위해서는 점자악보를 통하여서만이 가능하다. 그러나 이러한 점자악보를 만들기 위해서는 점역사를 통한 주문제작 방법 밖에는 없는 실정이다. 국내의 몇 안되는 점역사를 통해서 한곡의 점자악보를 얻기까지는 한달여의 기간과 많은 비용이 든다. 이러한 열악할 환경으로 인하여 시각장애자들이 음악을 공부하거나 전공하기에는 너무나 힘들 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 시각장애자들이 음악을 접할 수 있고 공부할 수 있도록 시간적, 비용적 측면에서 도움을 주기 위한 점자악보 생성 컴파일러에 대한 구현 내용을 기술한다. 점자악보 생성기는 기존의 컴퓨터에서 음악을 듣기위한 미디 파일을 입력으로 받아들여 점자 편집기에서 점자 변환에 사용되는 아스키 코드로 출력하여 시각장애자가 원하는 곡의 점자악보를 받는데 드는 비용과 시간을 절약할수 있도록 도와준다.

On the basis of pigment production on brain heart infusion agar medium containing crocin, differentiation of mastitic streptococcus was investigated. Intensive crocin reaction was showed in braille heart infusion agar when maximum volume of gardenia powder was 5.0 mg/ml and dark-violet pigmentation of Str. uberis and Group D (Str. facalis) Streptococcus were differentiated from negative strains of Str. dysgalactiae. Also, although most of Str. agalactiae was producted pigment, a few was not affected with the crocin reaction.

In this paper, we calculated chronaxy value in order to determine the optimal conditions and stimulus pulse of information transmission. We also developed an electrical equivalent circuit of the hand including the contact part, which consists of two resistors (a contact resistor and finger resistor) and a capacitor. The minimum recoulition voltage was measured by using electrical stimulus. We found that the ranges of the above two resistances and the capacitance are 30-130k$\Omega$, 20-60k$\Omega$ and 10-30nF respectively. We found that the minimum recoulition voltage was the lowest at 100-300Hz and 10% of the duty ratio.

The railroad station building is a public facility that many people use. The disabled persons cannot move as freely as the ordinary persons do, so the facility shall be considered on this matter. We reviewed on the features of the retarded, visually handicapped and mentally retarded persons upon moving, and calculated the minimum space required in their move, access and use of the reachable space, and we also analyzed the design factors so that the prior guidance can be considered for the visually handicapped such as installation of guidance facility, change of finishing material and Braille points block handrail to avoid obstacles for the use of senses of touch, hearing and remained eyesight of the visually handicapped. In addition, we also analyzed the requests of general design totally to analyze and arrange the design factors with the thought that the facility for the handicapped shall be useful for the ordinary people as well as the handicapped.
