  • Objective: In this study, two types of foot-controlled mouse devices are compared with a hand mouse in the input tasks requiring repetitively switching between a keyboard and a mouse. Background: Foot-controlled mouse devices have been developed for persons with impairments in the mobility of their hands. However, some researchers insisted that the foot-controlled mouse devices could be effectively used by the persons with no limits to their hand mobility. There are needs to investigate the efficiency of the foot-controlled mouse devices, when they are used by the nondisabled people. Method: Participants conducted the input tasks, requiring repetitive switches between a keyboard and a computer mouse. The used computer mouse devices were two types of foot-controlled mouse and a typical hand mouse. Participants performed three types of input task for five days and three types of task performance were measured; the number of completed input tasks within a given practice time, subjective satisfaction level and the time wasted for the mouse control. Results: For five days, the performance of input tasks sharply increased in input tasks by foot-controlled mouse devices rather than a hand mouse. After five days, the level of satisfaction on the foot-controlled mouse devices approached to about 76% of a hand mouse satisfaction level. The control time of the foot-controlled mouse devices also approached to about 109% of a hand mouse control time. Conclusion: After only five-day practice, the input task performance by foot-controlled mouse devices approached to that of a hand mouse. This result may suggest that the foot-controlled mouse devices can be effectively used as an alternative input device for the nondisabled people, if input tasks are easy and enough practice time is provided. Application: The results of this study might help to design foot-controlled mouse devices and to expend the usage of them.

  • The design and fabrication of Q-band 3-stage monolithic microwave integrated circuit(MMIC) amplifier for WLAN are presented using 0.2$\square$ AIGaAs/lnGaAs/GaAs pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (PHEMT). In each stage of the MMIC, a negative feedback is used for both broadband and good stability. The measurement results are achieved as an input return loss under -4dB, an output return loss under -10dB, a gain of 14dB, and a PldB of 17dBm at Q-band(36~44GHz). These results closely match with design results. The chip size is 2.8${\times}$1.3mm$^2$. This MMIC amplifier will be used as the unit cell to develop millimeter-wave transmitters for use in wideband wireless LAN systems.

  • Beginning with a brief introduction on near 100 nm or below CMOS devices, this paper addresses novel devices for future sub-100 nm CMOS. First, key issues such as gate materials, gate dielectric, source/drain, and channel in Si bulk CMOS devices are considered. CMOS devices with different channel doping and structure are introduced by explaining a figure of merit. Finally, novel device structures such as SOI, SiGe, and double-gate devices will be discussed for possible candidates for sub-100 nm CMOS.

  • The release of heparin from monolithic devices composed of different ratios of polyethylene oxide(PEO MW 20,000) and polydimethylsiloxane was investigated. Water soluble PEO plended into the polydimethylsiloxane proved a controlled release of heparin. The release rate of heparin could be controlled by varying the content of PEO and loading dose of heparin. The release rate of heparin from the devices increased as the content of PEO and heparin in the devices increased. The release rate of heparin from devices were related to nature of solute(ionic strength) and temperature. The release mechanism may be associated with the creation of pore or domine through the devices the water-uptake and the change in the physical structure of the polydimethysiloxane network.

  • The technologies in medical electronic implant(MEI) devices are developing rapidly, and already, there are various kinds of the MEI devices in the current medical equipments market. Recently, the global market scale of MEI devices have been increased about 13% year by year, and the import amount of MEI devices in Korea is increasing rapidly. In the near future, the demands of MEI devices will be magnificently increasing by the continuous development of the biomedical electronics devices which coupled with neural, brain and other organs will bring us to tremendous effects, such as providing new therapeutic solutions to patients, extension and saving human life, and an important clue of medical development. However, the investment of the research and the activity of developments in this field are still very weak in the Korea. Consequently, this paper introduces about the research trends of MEI devices, and technological problems those must be solved, and then concludes with the suggestions in order to be the leading country in this field.

  • In conventional automatic container-terminal, the gantry cranes are operated manually or semi-automatically. But UGC is an unmanned-operated gantry crane and the positioning information for UGC is supplied only by position-measuring devices. In order to enhance the operation efficiency of UGC, it is required that the position-measuring devices have long maintenance period and are not sensitive to the weather and environment condition. And in order to be used practically in container terminal, the cost of position-measuring devices is not higher than currently used measuring devices. In the study, it is discussed the requirements for position-measuring devices in UGC, And it is studied on the measuring devices suitable to UGC. From this study, it is expected that the combination of a rotary encoder and a ferrous metal detector is useful for position-measuring devices in UGC.
