제스쳐(gesture)는 마우스 또는 스타일러스의 난일 표시(single mark)를 이용하여 객체들과 기능들을 식별하는 문서 편집 도구의 강력한 방법들 주 하나이다. 마우스를 위한 제스쳐는 주로 데스크 팁 기반의 환경을 위해 개발되어지고 스타일러스를 위한 제스쳐는 보통 휴대용 컴퓨터를 위해 개발되어진다[2]. 현대는 PDA(Personal Digital Assistant)시스템의 스타일러스를 위한 제스쳐 개발이 활발하게 이루어지고 있다.[3]. 하지만 PDA 시스템에서는 인식에 의한 문자 입력의 보조 도구 정도의 수준에서 제스쳐가 사용되어진다. 본 논문에서는 PDA 시스템에서 사용되는 키보드의 키 역할을 하는 기존의 제스쳐와는 달리 사용자 입력과 제스쳐에 차별을 두지 않고 한 화면에서 직접적이 제스쳐가 가능한 환경을 개발하고 다양한 제스쳐 인식 방법을 제안한다. PDA 시스템에서의 제약을 최소화하기 위해 펜 기반의 입력에서 각 스트록을 간략화시켜 정보를 최소호 한 뒤 각 스트록을 양방향 연결 리스트를 이용해 연결하였다. 제스쳐(gesture)는 삽입, 삭제의 기본적인 것들을 비롯하여 이동, 복사, 붙임과 같은 제스쳐도 포함되어 있다. 제스쳐(gesture)의 인식은 각 스트록의 바운딩 박스와 점들의 위치 정보, 스트록 생성 순서에 기반하여 이루어지기 때문에, 이로 인해 펜 기반의문서 에디터 사용에서 요구되는 다른 제약 없이 오로지 펜만으로 모두 편집 환경을 구현할 수 있다.

언제, 어디서, 누구나 대용량 네트워크를 사용할 수 있는 유비쿼터스(ubiquitous) 시대가 다가오면서, 카메라가 장착되어 있고 무선 통신이 가능한 PDA, 웨어러블(wearable) 컴퓨터와 같은 휴대용장치가 가까운 미래에는 일상의 한 부분이 될 것이다. 이런 상황을 반영하듯, 휴대용 장치를 이용하여 실감형 게임(augmented game)을 수행하는 다양한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 기존의 실감형 게임들은 전통적인 ‘backpack’ 시스템을 이용하거나 패턴마커(pattern marker)를 이용하였다. ‘backpack’ 시스템은 비싸고, 거추장스러우며, 사용하기 불편한 단점을 가지고 있으며, 패턴마커를 이용하면 미리 정한 장소에서만 게임을 즐길 수 있는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Flying Cake이라는 실감형 게임을 소개하며, 거추장스러운 장비 대신, 가볍고 휴대 가능한 PDA를 이용하여 게임을 수행하며, 실제 세계에서 가상의 물체를 접목할 위치를 지정하기 위해, 미리 정해져 있는 패턴마커 대신 얼굴 영역을 이용한다. Flying Cake은 연산자원이 부족한 PDA에서 실시간으로 얼굴 영역을 찾기 위해 스킨칼라(skin-color) 모델과 CAMShift 알고리즘을 이용하며, PDA상에서 카메라를 이용하여 실제 세계와 가상의 물체 사이의 상호작용을 제공하는 새로운 게임 패러다임(paradigm)을 통해 사용자에게 새로운 즐거움을 제공한다.

The management of Patent Ductus Arteriosus[PDA] with heart failure and cardiac cachexia in premature infants have been a disturbing and controversial problem in the field of pediatric cardiovascular surgery.We analysed our experiences to determine the rationale of surgical closure of PDA in infants . During a period of 7 years from January 1986 to December 1992, 12 infants under 2 months of age underwent operations for "hemodynamically significant" PDA which had caused severe heart failure.There were 6 male and 6 female patients. Their mean gestational age was 33.8 weeks and their mean body weight was 1990 g. ranged from 710 g. to 2900 g. Mean age at operation was 28.5days. Seven patients had history of Indomethacin trial. All patients were operated with double ligation technique under general anesthesia.There was no mortality and blood transfusion was not necessary in any patient during the operation.In all cases, we could confirm the complete closure of PDA after operation by follow-up echocardiography.Two patients died during their hospital stay and 1 patient died at 6 months after operation. The causes of death were sepsis with congestive heart failure, necrotizing entero colitis and pneumonia respectively.We can not detect any operation related complication which resulted in permanent sequelae as well as delayed complications related to nerve damage. These results indicate that surgical ligation of PDA in infants with severe heart failure is relatively safe and effective.effective.

The purpose of this study is to investigate variation of spark plug protrusion and PDA valve on the exhaust emission in a gasoline engine. Swirl is one of the important parameters that affects the characteristics of combustion. PDA valve has been developed to satisfy requirements of sufficient swirl generation for improving the combustion and reducing of emission level. Also, especially, the variation of spark plug protrusion have an important effect to the early flame propagative process. This is largely due to the high flame speed by short of flame propagation distance. So, this is forced that injection timing, spark timing and intake air motion govern the stable combustion. As a result, using two combustion chamber, without charge of engine specification and the variable spark plug location and PDA valve could be reduced exhaust gas at a part load engine conditions(1500rpm imep 3.9bar, 2000rpm imep 3.2bar, 2400rpm imep 3.9bar).

Polydiacetylene (PDA) is chemosensor materials that exhibit non-fluorescent-to-fluorescent transition as well as blue-to-red visible color change upon chemical or thermal stress. They have been studied in forms of film or microarray chip, so far. In this paper, we provide a novel technique to fabricate continuous micro-fiber PDA sensor using in-situ laser-polymerization technique and 3-D hydrodynamic focusing on a microfluidic chip. The flow of a monomer solution with diacetylene (DA) monomer is focused by a sheath flow on a 3-D microfluidic chip. The focused flow is exposed to 365 nm UV laser beam for in-situ polymerization which generates a continuous fiber containing DA monomers. Then, the fiber is exposed to 254 nm UV light to polymerize DA monomers to PDA. Preliminary results indicate that the fiber size can be controlled by the flow rates of the monomer solution and sheath flows and that a PDA sensor fiber successively responds to chemical and thermal stress.

Recently, many people want to know their state of health, such as a body fat rate, anywhere and anytime. The Personal Digital Assistance(PDA) is the portable wireless apparatus that has become widely popular. There are many application areas of the IDA to be in mobile care devices. In this study, we developed the PDA based body fat measurement system, composed of a cradle type measurement module and a WindowCE operated software module, a regression equation for predicting lean body mass (LBM). Sixty-three weight-stable subjects (53 men, 10 women) aged 20∼32yr participated in this study. A regression model, LBM ＝ (0.0005＊Height2 - 0.0160＊Impedance ＋ 0.3920＊Weight - 0.0684＊Age - 5.8141＊Sex ＋ 25.984, was found. The correlation coefficient( r) of body fat rate between developed system and HTM1000plus(BionetTM) was 0.928. HTM1000plus is a commercially available and approved by KFDA. These results indicated that developed system is reliable for estimation of body fat rate. Although developed system is the PDA based miniaturized, it shows good performance comparing with other commercial product.

We present an efficient algorithm for skew correction of business card images obtained by a PDA (personal digital assistant) camera. The proposed method is composed of four parts: block adaptive binarization (BAB), stripe generation, skew angle calculation, and image rotation. In the BAB, an input image is binarized block by block so as to lessen the effect of irregular illumination and shadow over the input image. In the stripe generation, character string clusters are generated merging adjacent characters and their strings, and then only clusters useful for skew angle calculation are output as stripes. In the skew angle calculation, the direction angles of the stripes are calculated using their central moments and then the skew angle of the input image is determined averaging the direction angles. In the image rotation, the input image is rotated by the skew angle. Experimental results shows that the proposed method yields skew correction rates of about 93% for test images of several types of business cards acquired by a PDA under various surrounding conditions.

To development of the low toxic preservatives, we prepared 29 kinds of chemicals using dinotefuran of low toxic insecticide, IPBC and propiconazol of fungicide, and clove oil has fungicidal activity, but is harmless to humans. It was conducted to investigate the inhibitory effectiveness of mycelial growth and anti-mold effectiveness to treated PDA medium and wood specimen with prepared chemicals. It was not showed anti-mold effectiveness that solvent and emulsifier form preservatives. Therefor, we thought that only four component, dinotefuran, IPBC, propiconazol and clove oil, has anti-mold effectiveness. In the PDA medium test, the preservative which has much IPBC showed high anti-mold effectiveness. By the wood specimen test, it was known that many prepared preservatives which showed good inhibitory effectiveness of mycelial growth in the PDA medium test, have not anti-mold effectiveness. Of all prepared preservatives in this study, only three preservatives containing dinotefuran and IPBC, or adding clove oil appeared the excellent anti-mold effectiveness.

We propose a fabrication method for polydiacetylene (PDA)-embedded hydrogel microfibers on a microfluidic chip. These fibers can be applied to the detection of cyclodextrines (CDs), which are a family of sugar and aluminum ions. PDA, a family of conjugated polymers, has unique characteristics when used for a sensor, because it undergoes a blue-to-red color transition and nonfluorescence-to-fluorescence transition in response to environmental stimulation. PDAs have different sensing characteristics depending on the head group of PCDA. By taking advantage of ionic crosslinking-induced hydrogel formation and the 3D hydrodynamic focusing effect on a microfluidic chip, PCDA-EDEA-derived diacetylene (DA) monomer-embedded microfibers were successfully fabricated. UV irradiation of the fibers afforded blue-colored PDA, and the resulting blue PDA fibers underwent a phase transition to red and emitted red fluorescence upon exposure to CDs and aluminum ions. Their fluorescence intensity varied depending on the CDs and aluminum ion concentrations. This phase transition was also observed when the fibers were dried.
