  • The human body and nervous system transmit information through electric charges. After the electric charge transmits information to the brain, we can feel pain, numbness, comfort, and other feelings. Electric therapy is currently used widely in clinical practice because the field of examination is more representative of electrocardiogram, and in the field of treatment is more representative of electrotherapy. In this study, we design a system for neurophysiological therapy and conduct parameter calculation and model selection for the components of the system. The system is based on a discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) boost circuit, and controlled and regulated by a single-chip microcomputer. The system does not only have a low cost but also fully considers the safety of use, convenience of the human-computer interface, adjustment sensitivity, and waveform diversity in the design. In future, it will have strong implications in the field of electrotherapy.

  • In this paper, the moving distance and velocity of a single moving object are measured by sampling three frames in a two-dimensional line sequence image. The brightness of each frame is analyzed, and the bit data of their pixel are rearranged so that the difference image may be extracted. The parameters for recognition of the object are the gray level of the object, the number of vertex points and the distance between the vertex points. The moving distance obtained from the coordinate which is constructed by the bit processing of the data in the memory map of a microcomputer, and the moving velocity is obtained from the moving distance and the time interval between the first and second sampled frames.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Microcomputer Based Laboratory (MBL) on the middle school students' graphing skill and science process skill in Earth Science classes. MBL teaching materials for inquiry-based instructions were developed to teach five experimental topics related to the middle school 'Earth Science.' Thirty three middles school students participated in this study, and the pre- and post-tests were conducted. Results indicated as follow: First, MBL classes were effective in developing the graphing skill of middle school students. They were efficient both in graph construction and graph interpretation, especially in data transformation. Second, MBL classes were effective in helping participants to use science process skills, especially, in the subordinate areas including formulating hypotheses, making operational definition, graphing, and interpreting data.

  • In order to improve the thermal efficiency of an internal combustion engine, various ignition timing control systems were examined and the best one was chosen. The parts used for the systems were a microcomputer system with DAS, 8 bit output port (D-FLIP FLOP), three types of isolation circuit, two types of ignition timing pulse generator, three types of switching circuit and two types of high voltage ignition circuit. Most systems did not operate well due to the effects of electromagnetic waves and surge currents occurring when the ignition began or ended with resulting high voltage. The best ignition timing control system was found to be the combination of (microcomputer system)-(ignition timing pulse generator using step motor position control pick-up)-(switching circuit using TR logic)-(high voltage ignition circuit using CDI).

  • Hot air drying of Lentinus edodes was studied using the microcomputer drying system that can control the drying parameters such as air temperature, relative humidity and a weight-loss of water. The physico-chemical properties of dried products were measured in order to investigate the drying characteristics. The mechanism of water movement during air drying of Lentinus edodes closely followed the Page model. That was $M-M_c/M_0-M_c\;=\;\exp\;(-0.275t^{1.154})$ at $50^{\circ}C$ and 20% RH. The free amino acids increased with increased relative humidity. The color and browning degree increased with increased air temperature and relative humidity. The rehydration rate was low when the air temperature and relative humidity were high.

  • To design more efficient agricultural machinery, the accurately measuring system among many other factors is essential. A light-beam oscillographic recorder is generally used in measuring dynamic strain but it is not compatible with the extremely high speed measuring system such as 1,000 m/s, also is susceptable to damage due to vibration while using the system in field. The recorder used light sensitive paper for strip chart recording. The reading and analysis of data from the strip charts is very cumbersome, errorneous and time consuming. A microcomputer was interfaced with A/D converter, microcomputer program was developed for measuring, system calibration was done and the strain generated from a cantilever beam vibrator was measured. The results are summarized as follows. 1. Microcomputer program was developed to perform strain measuring of agricultural machine elements and could be controled freely the measuring intervals, no. of channels and no. of data. The maximum measuring speed was $62{\mu}s$. 2. Calibration the system was performed with triangle wave generated from a function generator and checked by an oscilloscope. The sampled data were processed using HP 3000 minicomputer of Chungnam National University computer center the graphical results were triangle same as input wave and so the system have been out of phase distorsion and amplitude distorsion. 3. The strain generated from a cantilever beam vibrator which has free vibration period of 0.019 second were measured by the system controlled to have l.0 ms of time interval and its computer output showing vibration curve which is well filted to theoretical value. 4. Using microcomputer on measuring the strain of agricultural machine elements could not only save analyzing time and recording papers but also get excellent adaptation to field experiment, especially in measurement requiring high speed and good precision.

  • This study was attempted to develop a remote controllable speed sprayer in order to protect an operator from agricultural chemicals. For the purpose of remote controllable transmission was developed by using one chip microcomputer. The following results could be summarized in this study. 1. Remote controllable transmission developed had not made even a single mistake during the test performed 100 times repeat. Thus, it could that this machine was very accurate. 2. One chip microcomputer was made by machine language and its was with in 3 sec's which was the same as human did. 3. One chip microcomputer which was used in the experiment could be widely used to automation of agricultural machinery, since it is smaller and chiper than any other similar ones such as personal computer, lap tap, one board computer. 4. Since, farm tractor has the same type of transmission as this system, it also could be adapted to farm tractors. 5. In this experiment, transmission lever was remote controll were designed to operate simultaneously. Thus, this system developed was more complicate than conventional system. However, by removing this transmission lever and by mounting the remote controll system at the speed sprayer, it would be higher and easier to handle than the conventional one.
