Objectives This is the review on the Jeolgyeong which means diagnosis method of meridian and acupoints. Detecting method of meridian and acupoints under the disease condition using fingertips were more developed in Japan than in China and Korea. This study is the introduction to the Japanese style palpation method on meridian and acupoints. Methods Firstly the textbook 'Acupuncture medicine' published by the committee of Korean professors' association of acupuncture and moxibustion was analyzed. Especially the contents of the palpation method on meridian and acupoints were focused and summarized and secondly the book describing the palpation method on meridian and acupoints was selected, translated and summarized. Results Until now the knowledge on the acupoints reaction depending on the patient's status, the deficiency pattern and the excessive pattern was rarely described in China and Korea. On the contrary, 4 kinds of reactions in the deficiency pattern and 4 kinds of reactions in the excessive pattern were well described in Japanese literatures. Mild touching, mild pinching, rubbing, mild pressing and severe pressing were also described along the meridians. Except the bladder meridian Back Shu points, Yuan points, Luo points, Xi(cleft) points, Front Mu points were depicted as the same as those in China and Korea. For the bladder meridian lines, 4 lines were organized including 2 lines of Hua-Tuo-Jia-Ji-Xue and the middle line between 1st and 2nd bladder meridian line as well as 1st bladder meridian line and 2nd bladder meridian line. Conclusions Detecting meridians or acupoints and using them for diagnosis and treatment is a method used in China, Korea, and Japan. However, detailed descriptions of the method for detecting meridians through palpation are revealed in Japanese books. Palpation methods for diagnosing meridians using touching, pinching, rubbing, and pressing methods are expected to be standardized and systematically learned in Korea.

한의학에서 혀의 상태는 인체 내부의 생리적 병리적 변화와 같은 건강 상태를 진단하는 중요한 지표로 활용된다. 혀의 상태를 진단하는 방법(설진)은 편리할 뿐 아니라 비침습적이므로, 한의학에서 널리 활용되고 있다. 하지만, 설진은 광원이나 환자의 자세, 의사의 건강 조건과 같은 검사 환경에 따라 많은 영향을 받는다. 객관적이고 표준화된 진단을 위한 자동 설진 시스템을 개발하기 위하여 촬영된 얼굴 영상으로부터 혀를 영역분할하고 설태를 분류하는 것은 필수적이지만 혀와 입술, 입 근처의 피부색이 서로 유사하므로 쉽지 않은 일이다. 제안된 방법은 전처리 과정과 영역분할, 혀의 구조로부터 발생하는 음영 영역의 지역 최소값 위치 검색, 지역 최소값의 교정, 컬러의 차이를 최대로 하는 위치를 찾는 컬러 경계면 탐색, 척의 기하적인 특성에 일치하는 경계면 선택, 경계면 평활화로 구성되어 있으며, 여기서 전처리 과정은 계산량의 감소를 위한 부 표본화, 히스토그램 평활화, 경계면 강화를 수행한다. 이러한 시스템적인 과정을 거치면, 영역분할된 혀를 획득할 수 있게 된다. 제안된 방법으로 분할된 영역은 초과적으로 혀가 아닌 영역을 제외해 낼 뿐 아니라 정확한 진단을 위해 중요한 정보를 제공함을 한의사의 진단 유효도 평가점수를 통해 확인할 수 있었다. 제안된 방법은 진단의 객관화와 표준화에 기여할 뿐만 아니라 u-Healthcare 시스템에도 활용 가능하다.

Introduction: In Oriental medicine, the status of tongue is the important indicator to diagnose one's health, because it represents physiological and clinicopathological changes of inner parts of the body. The method of tongue diagnosis is not only convenient but also non-invasive, so tongue diagnosis is most widely used in Oriental medicine. By the way, since tongue diagnosis is affected by examination circumstances a lot, its performance depends on a light source, degrees of an angle, a medical doctor's condition etc. Therefore, it is not easy to make an objective and standardized tongue diagnosis. In order to solve this problem, in this study, we tried to design a discriminant function for thick and thin coating with color vectors of preprocessed image. Method: 52 subjects, who were diagnosed as white-coated tongue, were involved. Among them, 45 subjects diagnosed as thin coating and 7 subjects diagnosed as thick coating by oriental medical doctors, and then their tongue images were obtained from a digital tongue diagnosis system. Using those acquired tongue images, we implemented two steps: Preprocessing and image analyzing. The preprocessing part of this method includes histogram equalization and histogram stretching at each color component, especially, intensity and saturation. It makes the difference between tongue substance and tongue coating was more visible, so that we can separate tongue coating easily. Next part, we analyzed the characteristic of color values and found the threshold to divide tongue area into coating area. Then, from tongue coating image, it is possible to extract the variables that were important to classify thick and thin coating. Result : By statistical analysis, two significant vectors, associated with G, were found, which were able to describe the difference between thick and thin coating very well. Using these two variables, we designed the discriminant function for coating classification and examined its performance. As a result, the overall accuracy of thick and thin coating classification was 92.3%. Discussion : From the result, we can expect that the discriminant function is applicable to other coatings in a similar way. Also, it can be used to make an objective and standardized diagnosis.

The pulse diagnosis is an important and universally used method in Oriental Medicine. Since the traditional method of palpating the pulse relies on the subjective sense in the fingers of an Oriental Medical Doctor(OMD), there has been continued need for more objective method for pulse diagnosis. Recently, various pulse analyzers have been developed to meet such objective palpation and interpretation. However, most of these attempts were not successful to replace OMD's own palpation by fingers. To improve the performance of the pulse analyzers, one should develop machine-appropriate interpretations for the pulse images in the literature, in addition to the improvement in the repeatability and reproducibility. One of such widely-used pulse images to be interpreted is the floating and sinking pulse. The floating and sinking pulses are the two representative pulse images informing us how strong pressure one should apply to obtain the maximal pulse strength. A previous study suggested a convenient and unified measure for the floating and sinking pulses by defining the coefficient of the floating-sinking pulse(CFS). We found the original definition of the CFS could be erroneous under some situations. To improve the performance, we introduce new CFS algorithm for determining the floating and sinking pulse with a pulse analyzers(3-D MAC). To test the performance of the newly suggested algorithm, we conducted a clinical study comparing the agreement ratio with the floating and sinking pulse diagnosis by the OMDs. We found that, among the subjects who are diagnosed with having either the floating pulse or sinking pulse, the new CFS algorithm showed 55.3% diagnosis rate and 73.0% concordance rate, which are about 3% and 6% improvement in the diagnosis rate and agreement rate, respectively, compared to the original CFS algorithm.

This paper presents a wear diagnosis method for centrifugal impellers by using an accelerometer. The features are calculated from raw and wavelet transformed signals with several statistical methods applied in time or frequency domains. From the effectiveness coefficient test, it is shown that 7th level of wavelet transformed signal is suitable for wear classification problems. A neural network with 5 feature sets is applied to diagnose the wear magnitude of pump impellers. The verification result reveals that high accuracy for the wear diagnosis of impellers can be obtained by using wavelet features transformed from acceleration signals.

In this presentation, we will discuss several recent achievements developed in my laboratory for microarray-based diagnosis of human genetic mutations including HNF-1 and BRCA1 mutations. To determine the presence of the genetic mutations in a human sample, we prepared allele-specific oligonucleotide chips from selected mutation sites and generated target probes using a tow-step method for Cy-3 DNA $samples^{1)}$ or in vitro transcription of promoter-tagged PCR products for Cy-3 RNA $samples^{2)}$. Hybridization of the target probes to the chips successfully identified all of the genotypes for the tested sites. For more reliable diagnosis, we also employed single base extension (SBE) reaction and zip-code microarray technique for our strategy. Particularly we developed an efficient PNA zip-code microarray for the detection of $HNF-1{\alpha}$ $mutations^{3)}$. Using multiplex SBE reactions and zip-code strategy, we were able to correctly diagnose several mutation sites in exon 2 of $HNF-1{\alpha}$ with a wild-type and mutant including a MODY3 patient. These works represent successful applications of DNA microarray technology for the diagnosis of human genetic mutations.

Electro-hydraulic brake system has many advantages. It provides improved braking performance and stability functions. It also removes complex mechanical parts for freedom of design, improves maintenance requirements and reduces unit weight. However, the EHB system should be dependable and have back-up redundancy in case of a failure. In this paper, the model-based fault diagnosis system is developed to monitor the brake status using the analytical redundancy method. The performance of the model-based fault diagnosis system is verified in real-time simulation. It demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed system in various faulty cases.
