  • Assistive listening devices (ALDs) refer to various types of amplification equipment designed to improve the communication of individuals with hard of hearing to enhance the accessibility to speech signal when individual hearing instruments are not sufficient. There are many types of ALDs to overcome a triangle of speech to noise ratio (SNR) problems, noise, distance, and reverberation. ALDs vary in their internal electronic mechanisms ranging from simple hard-wire microphone-amplifier units to more sophisticated broadcasting systems. They usually use microphones to capture an audio source and broadcast it wirelessly over a frequency modulation (FM), infra-red, induction loop, or other transmission techniques. The seven types of ALDs are introduced including hardwire devices, FM sound system, infra-red sound system, induction loop system, telephone listening devices, television, and alert/alarm system. Further development of digital wireless technology in hearing instruments will make possible direct communication with ALDs without any accessories in the near future. There are two technology solutions for digital wireless hearing instruments improving SNR and convenience. One is near-field magnetic induction combined with Bluetooth radio frequency (RF) transmission or proprietary RF transmission and the other is proprietary RF transmission alone. Recently launched digital wireless hearing aid applying this new technology can communicate from the hearing instrument to personal computer, phones, Wi-Fi, alert systems, and ALDs via iPhone, iPad, and iPod. However, it comes with its own iOS application offering a range of features but there is no option for Android users as of this moment.

  • Recently, there has been a rapid increase of interest in u-Health systems or instruments. The importance of testbeds has been discussed deeply also. However, beyond laboratory or ward environments, testbeds covering metropolitan area cannot be found easily. Moreover, there has been few papers which discuss the results of testbed operations for various instruments in different age groups. In this paper, the results of testbed which operated in Daegu metropolitan area are discussed and improvement directions to strengthen the competitiveness are proposed using user analysis. In particular, the results of trial services using the u-Life support instruments (medication reminder, falling safety phone, bio-patch and shirts, etc) for super aging societies in the near future are discussed.

  • The purpose of this study was to assess the concurrent validity and reliability of goniometric measurement of joint motion. Subjects were 40 healthy university students. Measurements were performed by 4 inexperienced physical therapy students. Four different instruments were used and three readings were taken with each instrument in random order making a total of 12 readings for flexion of the right elbow of each subject. Goniometers used were 1. universal 2. fluid-based goniometer/inclinometer 3. digital LCD goniometer 4. electronic goniometer/torsiometer. The results were as follows: Concurrent validity was highest (r= .94) with the universal and digital LCD tools. Interrater reliability (Pearson Product Moment Correlation) was good for each tool. Interrater reliability calculated by ICC(2,1) was highest (.96) with the tensiometer and lowest (.78) with the digital LCD goniometer. Intrarater reliability calculated by ICC was excellent (${\geq}.90$) for all instruments. These results show that concurrent validity, intrarater and interrater reliability are very good in the used of all four types of goniometers/inclinometer/tensiometer, even with inexperienced raters. These results confirm the almost universal reliance on hand held goniometers for joint measurement by physical therapists as being a reliable practice. Further research should be done clinically with actual patients.

  • The application of time-domain methods in emission measurement instruments allows for a reduction in scan time by several orders of magnitude and for new evaluation methods to be realized such as the real-time spectrogram to characterize transient emissions. In this paper two novel systems for time-domain EMI measurements above 1 GHz are presented. The first system combines ultra-fast analog-to-digital-conversion and real-time digital signal processing on a field-programmable-gate-array (FPGA) with ultra-broadband multi-stage down-conversion to enable measurements in the range from 10 Hz to 26 GHz with high sensitivity and full-compliance with the requirements of CISPR 16-1-1. The required IF bandwidths were added to allow for measurements according to MIL-461F and DO-160F. The second system realizes a system of time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and has an upper bandwidth limit of 4 GHz. With the implementation of an automatic mismatch calibration, the system fulfills CISPR 16-1-1 dynamic range requirements. Measurements of the radiated emissions of electronic consumer devices and household appliances like the non-stationary emissions of a microwave oven are presented. A measurement of a personal computer's conducted emissions on a power supply line according to DO-160F is given.

  • A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is an integrated circuit designed to be configured by a customer or a designer after manufacturing. The FPGA configuration is generally specified using a hardware description language (HDL), similar to that used for an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) (circuit diagrams were previously used to specify the configuration, as they were for ASICs, but this is increasingly rare). Contemporary FPGAs have large resources of logic gates and RAM blocks to implement complex digital computations. In this paper, we implement a system of digital instrumentation using FPGA. This system consists of the trigger part, memory address controller part, control FSM part, Encoder part, LCD controller part. The hardware implement using FPGA and the verification of the operation is done in a PC simulation. The proposed hardware was mapped into Cyclone III EP2C5Q208 from Altera and used 1,700(40%) of Logic Element (LE). The implemented circuit used 24,576-bit memory element with 6-bit input signal. The result from implementing in hardware (FPGA) could operate stably in 140MHz.

  • 수치사진측량은 사진상에 나타난 대상물의 2차원적 형상으로부터3차원적 기하형상을 측정하고 묘사하는 기술로서 여러 과학 분야에서 그 활용가능성이 증대되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 정밀을 요하는 건설 기계분야에서 수치사진측량 방법 대신 값비싼 계측장비를 이용하는 경우가 많고, 마땅한 계측장비가 없어 시각적인 방법으로 분석하는 경우도 발생한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 보강토 옹벽 실내모형 시험 장치의 모형옹벽 파괴전과 파괴 후에 대한 모형지반 변형량을 빠르게 측정하기 위해 이동식 표정판을 이용한 수치근접사진측량기법을 개발하였다. 그리고 그 측정 결과값들은 각측정기로 획득한 결과값과 비교하였다.

  • 일반적으로 수치지도제작을 수행하기 위해서는 종이에 인쇄된 원도를 컴퓨터상에서 작업할 수 있는 수치자료로 변환하는 자료입력과정과 작업이 끝난 자료를 출력하는 도면출력과정에 입출력장비가 이용된다. 본 연구에서는 수치지도 작업과정에 수반되는 입력장비중 벡터형태의 자료를 직접적으로 생성할 수 있는 장점에 의해 부분 도화된 수정도화 원도의 입력시 주로 이용되는 디지타이저와, 작업의 용이성 에 의해 주로 원도의 입력과정에 이용되는 스캐너에 대해 작업방법 및 입출력장비 특성에 따른 위치오차를 분석하였으며, 출력장비에 따른 위치오차분석에서는 플로터방식과 출력도면의 재질에 따른 위치정확도를 분석하였다.

  • 본 논문은 사물놀이 타악기인 북 장구 징 꽹과리를 위한 디지털 기반의 새로운 인터페이스 제작을 제안한다. 새롭게 제작된 인터페이스는 징과 유사한 모양을 가진 타악기 형태이고, 하나의 인터페이스에서 네 가지 악기 모두 연주 가능하도록 고안되었다. 인터페이스의 전면부와 몸통에 위치한 두 개의 타격면은 인터페이스를 타격할 때 발생되는 타격 데이터를, 손잡이 부분에 위치한 제어부는 손잡이를 쥐는 압력 데이터를 발생시킨다. 발생된 정보들은 무선 통신을 통해 컴퓨터로 전송되고 컴퓨터는 각 악기의 소리 특성을 기반으로 합성음을 재생한다.
