  • 2001년 사자자리 유성우는 수십년 이래 최대 빈도로 많은 유성이 발생하여 전세계적으로 관측되며 많은 관심을 불러 일으켰다. 특히 유성우 극대기 시간이 동아시아의 11월 19일 새벽으로, 달의 위상과 보현산의 날씨가 관측하기에 최적인 조건을 보였다. 본 논문은 보현산 천문대에 고층대기 관측용으로 설치된 전천 카메라를 이용해서 유성우 극대기가 예측된 2001년 11월 19일 01:00∼05:40(KST)동안 관측한68장의 전천 화상을 분석하였다. 이 기간 동안 전천 화상에 모두 172개의 유성이 기록되었다. 이 관측 개수에 International Meteor Organization에 육안 관측으로 보고된 천정 시간율(Zenith Hourly Rate, ZHR), 3000과 등급 분포 지수, 2를 적용하면, 전천 화상에 나타난 유성의 한계 등급이 약 3등급으로 추정된다. 이 중 화상 밝기가 분명한 83개의 유성에 대해 근처 표준성의 자기와 비교하여 등급을 결정하였다. 이 때 유성 통과 시간의 계산에 필요한 유성의 각속도는 유성 진입의 기하학적 성질을 이용하여 유성과 사자자리 방사점과의 사이각을 변수로 하는 간단한 식으로 유도하였다. 이렇게 결정된 83개의 유성이 -1∼-6등급 사이에 분포하며, -3등급 근처에서 최대를 보인다. 그러나 이 등급 분포는 육안 관측과 비교하여 추정한 전천 카메라의 한계 등급보다 상당히 작은(밝은) 범위에 있다. 이런 차이는 순간적인 육안 관측과 노출시간이 긴 CCD 관측과의 특성 차이에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 이 특성 차이를 분석하기 위해 육안 관측과 합치하도록 유성 지속 시간을 조절 변수로 하여 등급을 재결정하였다. 재결정된 등급의 상대적 분포는 원리적으로 결정한 등급 분포와 유사하며, 약 0등급 근처에서 최대를 가진다. 이 상대 분포는 육안 관측에 민감한, 희미한(1∼6등급)유성들이 등급이 감소함에 따라 일률적으로 개수가 감소하는 것과는 상당히 다른 분포이다. 따라서 우리의 관측 결과는 2001년 사자자리 유성우의 극대 시간 전후 2시간에 적어도 0등급 이하의 밝은 유성이 상대적으로 많이 발생하였을 것으로 해석된다. 이런 밝은 유성의 빈도는 유성우 특성 연구에 중요한 의미를 가진다. 그러나 표준성만을 이용해 결정된 유성 등급은 유성의 지속 시간에 대한 불확실성과 전천 카메라 감응도의 비선형성에 의한 불확실성을 내포하고 있음을 지적해 둔다.

  • 이 연구의 목적은 세 가지 다른 치아 삭제 형태에 따라 제작된 CEREC3 CAD/CAM의 인레이의 변연 및 내면 간극을 비교 평가하는 것이었다. CEREC3 인레이의 제작을 위해 다음의 제시된 방법에 따라 각 군당 10개의 시편을 준비 하였다. 제 I 군-기능 교두를 포함하는 전통적 방식의 capping과 shoulder margin, 제 II 군-교두를 수평으로 평평하게 삭제하는 단순화된 와동 형태, 제 III 군-교두의 완전한 삭제와 shoulder margin을 갖는 가장 단순화된 형태로 세 군의 시편을 제작하였다. CEREC3로부터 제작된 인레이를 대응치아에 접착시킨 후, 치아 교합면의 중심을 지나게 협설면 방향으로 microsaw를 이용하여 절단하였다. 이후 Stereomicroscope을 사용하여 20배율에서 확대 영상을 촬영하였다. 그리고 미리 정해놓은 marginal, axial, angle, Horizontal 기준점에서 Leica application suite 프로그램을 사용하여 시편과 치아 사이의 변연 및 내면 간극을 측정하였다. 일원분산분석을 사용하여 같은 기준 지점에서 세 군 사이의 차이를 분석하였으며, 각 군 안에서 여러 지점 사이의 차이 또한 알아보았다. Tukey's test로 95% 유의수준에서 사후 검정하였다. 세 군 모두에서 변연 부위에서 간극이 가장 작았으며, 변연 간극은 제 I 군 $80.0-97.8{\mu}m$, 제 II 군$42.0-194.8{\mu}m$, 제 III 군 $51.0-80.2{\mu}m$의 범위를 나타내었다. 내면 간극은 제 I 군 $90.5-304.1{\mu}m$, 제 II 군 $80.0-274.8{\mu}m$, 제 III 군 $79.7-296.7{\mu}m$의 범위를 나타냈고 horizontal wall 부위에서 가장 큰 간극을 보였다. CEREC3 CAD/CAM시스템을사용한 인레이 제작에 있어서 새롭게 제안된 두 가지의 단순화된 와동 형태는 변연 및 내면 간극이 전통적인 교두 피개 와동 형태보다 우수하지 않았다.

  • 연구 목적 본 연구의 목적은 그린 기술의 채택 현상을 디지털 지식의 제공 여부로 이해하는 것이다. UTAUT2를 이론적 기반으로 하되 디지털 옵션 이론과 결합하였다. 특히 일반적인 UTAUT2 관련 연구들이 IT자체에 대한 수용 현상을 설명하기 위해 사용된 것과는 달리 본 연구에서는 IT의 산물인 디지털지식이 그린 기술이라는 대상을 채택하는데 긍정적인 영향을 주는지에 대해서 초점을 두었다. 연구설계/방법론/접근법 UTAUT2를 근거로 하되 그린 기술의 채택 현상을 설명하는데 유용한 요인들을 파악하기 위하여 내용분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과로 본 연구에서는 그린기술을 위한 수정된 UTAUT2 모형을 개발하였으며 그에 맞는 36개의 설문 문항을 개발하였다. 각 문항의 측정은 리커트 7점 척도를 채택하였다. 한 기관의 패널 자료로부터 총402명의 유효한 설문을 획득하였다. 사전 검증을 마치고 획득한 설문결과를 PLS 2.0M3와 SPSS 20.0을 이용하여 분석하였으며 가설검증을 위해 구조방정식 분석을 수행하였다. 결과 통계분석 결과 개발된 UTAUT2 수정 모형은 수요자들의 그린기술 채택 현상을 적절히 설명하는 것으로 실증분석 결과 나타났다. 사회적 영향은 전통적인 UTAUT나 UTAUT2에서 사용하는 효용가치나 쾌락가치보다 그린기술의 채택하는 맥락 하에서의 수용 행위를 더 잘 설명하고 있었다. 또한 디지털 지식과 그린기술의 채택, 즉 환경 친화적 제품에 대한 태도에 영향을 주는 요인들 사이의 인과관계는 유의한 것으로 판정되었다. 아울러 디지털 지식은 어떤 잠재적 사용자들이 그린기술을 잘 활용하고 있는 그들의 동료들로부터 학습하기 위해서 유용한 매체인 것으로 밝혀졌다.

  • The purpose of this study was to compare the lower extremity's joint and segment coupling patterns between forward and backward running in subjects who were twelve healthy males. Three-dimensional kinematic data were collected with Qualisys system while subjects ran to forward and backward. The thigh internal/external rotation and tibia internal/external rotation, thigh flexion/extension and tibia flexion/extension, tibia internal/external rotation and foot inversion/eversion, knee internal/external rotation and ankle inversion/eversion, knee flexion/extension and ankle inversion/eversion, knee flexion/extension and ankle flexion/extension, and knee flexion/extension and tibia internal/external rotation coupling patterns were determined using a vector coding technique. The comparison for each coupling between forward and backward running were conducted using a dependent, two-tailed t-test at a significant level of .05 for the mean of each of five stride regions, midstance(1l-30%), toe-off(31-50%), swing acceleration(51-70%), swing deceleration(71-90), and heel-strike(91-10%), respectively. 1. The knee flexion/extension and ankle flexion/extension coupling pattern of both foreward and backward running over the stride was converged on a complete coordination. However, the ankle flexion/extension to knee flexion/extension was relatively greater at heel-strike in backward running compared with forward running. At the swing deceleration, backward running was dominantly led by the ankle flexion/extension, but forward running done by the knee flexion/extension. 2. The knee flexion/extension and ankle inversion/eversion coupling pattern for both running was also converged on a complete coordination. At the mid-stance. the ankle movement in the frontal plane was large during forward running, but the knee movement in the sagital plane was large during backward running and vice versa at the swing deceleration. 3. The knee flexion/extension and tibia internal/external rotation coupling while forward and backward run was also centered on the angle of 45 degrees, which indicate a complete coordination. However, tibia internal/external rotation dominated the knee flexion/extension at heel strike phase in forward running and vice versa in backward running. It was diametrically opposed to the swing deceleration for each running. 4. Both running was governed by the ankle movement in the frontal plane across the stride cycle within the knee internal/external rotation and tibia internal/external rotation. The knee internal/external rotation of backward running was greater than that of forward running at the swing deceleration. 5. The tibia internal/external rotation in coupling between the tibia internal/external rotation and foot inversion/eversion was relatively great compared with the foot inversion/eversion over a stride for both running. At heel strike, the tibia internal/external rotation of backward running was shown greater than that of forward(p<.05). 6. The thigh internal/external rotation took the lead for both running in the thigh internal/external rotation and tibia internal/external rotation coupling. In comparison of phase, the thigh internal/external rotation movement at the swing acceleration phase in backward running worked greater in comparison with forward running(p<.05). However, it was greater at the swing deceleration in forward running(p<.05). 7. With the exception of the swing deceleration phase in forward running, the tibia flexion/extension surpassed the thigh flexion/extension across the stride cycle in both running. Analysis of the specific stride phases revealed the forward running had greater tibia flexion/extension movement at the heel strike than backward running(p<.05). In addition, the thigh flexion/extension and tibia flexion/extension coupling displayed almost coordination at the heel strike phase in backward running. On the other hand the thigh flexion/extension of forward running at the swing deceleration phase was greater than the tibia flexion/extension, but it was opposite from backward running. In summary, coupling which were the knee flexion/extension and ankle flexion/extension, the knee flexion/extension and ankle inversion/eversion, the knee internal/external rotation and ankle inversion/eversion, the tibia internal/external rotation and foot inversion/eversion, the thigh internal/external rotation and tibia internal/external rotation, and the thigh flexion/extension and tibia flexion/extension patterns were most similar across the strike cycle in both running, but it showed that coupling patterns in the specific stride phases were different from average point of view between two running types.

  • 오늘날 이동통신은 급증하는 데이터 수요에 대응하기 위해서 주로 속도 향상에 초점을 맞추어 발전해 왔다. 그리고 5G 시대가 시작되면서 IoT, V2X, 로봇, 인공지능, 증강 가상현실, 스마트시티 등을 비롯하여 다양한 서비스를 고객들에게 제공하기위한 노력들이 진행되고 있고 이는 우리의 삶의 터전과 산업 전반에 대한 환경을 바꿀 것으로 예상되고 되고 있다. 이러한 서비스를 제공하기위해서 고속 데이터 속도 외에도, 실시간 서비스를 위한 지연 감소 그리고 신뢰도 등이 매우 중요한데 5G에서는 최대 속도 20Gbps, 지연 1ms, 연결 기기 106/㎢를 제공함으로써 서비스 제공할 수 있는 기반을 마련하였다. 하지만 5G는 고주파 대역인 3.5Ghz, 28Ghz의 높은 주파수를 사용함으로써 높은 직진성의 빠른 속도를 제공할 수 있으나, 짧은 파장을 가지고 있어 도달할 수 있는 거리가 짧고, 회절 각도가 작아서 건물 등을 투과하지 못해 실내 이용에서 제약이 따른다. 따라서 기존의 통신망으로 이러한 제약을 벗어나기가 어렵고, 기반 구조인 중앙 집중식 SDN 또한 많은 노드와의 통신으로 인해 처리 능력에 과도한 부하가 발생하기 때문에 지연에 민감한 서비스 제공에 어려움이 있다. 그래서 자율 주행 중 긴급 상황이 발생할 경우 사용 가능한 지연 관련 트리 구조의 제어 기능이 필요하다. 이러한 시나리오에서 차량 내 정보를 처리하는 네트워크 아키텍처는 지연의 주요 변수이다. 일반적인 중앙 집중 구조의 SDN에서는 원하는 지연 수준을 충족하기가 어렵기 때문에 정보 처리를 위한 SDN의 최적 크기에 대한 연구가 이루어져야 한다. 그러므로 SDN이 일정 규모로 분리하여 새로운 형태의 망을 구성 해야하며 이러한 새로운 형태의 망 구조는 동적으로 변하는 트래픽에 효율적으로 대응하고 높은 품질의 유연성 있는 서비스를 제공할 수 있다. 이러한 SDN 구조 망에서 정보의 변경 주기, RTD(Round Trip Delay), SDN의 데이터 처리 시간은 지연과 매우 밀접한 상관관계를 가진다. 이 중 RDT는 속도는 충분하고 지연은 1ms 이하이기에 유의미한 영향을 주는 요인은 아니지만 정보 변경 주기와 SDN의 데이터 처리 시간은 지연에 크게 영향을 주는 요인이다. 특히, 5G의 다양한 응용분야 중에서 지연과 신뢰도가 가장 중요한 분야인 지능형 교통 시스템과 연계된 자율주행 환경의 응급상황에서는 정보 전송은 매우 짧은 시간 안에 전송 및 처리돼야 하는 상황이기때문에 지연이라는 요인이 매우 민감하게 작용하는 조건의 대표적인 사례라고 볼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 자율 주행 시 응급상황에서 SDN 아키텍처를 연구하고, 정보 흐름(셀 반경, 차량의 속도 및 SDN의 데이터 처리 시간의 변화)에 따라 차량이 관련정보를 요청해야 할 셀 계층과의 상관관계에 대하여 시뮬레이션을 통하여 분석을 진행하였다.

  • 1980년(年) 한국(韓國)에서 발견(發見)된 Microsporidia S 80은 포자(胞子)의 길이가 $2.9{\pm}0.28{\mu}$ 폭(幅)이 $1.7{\pm}0.29{\mu}$으로 난원형(卵圓形)인데 그 크기가 형태(形態)로 보아 누에에 기생(寄生)하는 Microsporidia로서 지금까지 한국(韓國)이나 일본(日本)에서 알려진 것 들과는 다른 것이다. 과산화수소(過酸化水素) 원액(原液)으로 처리(處理)하였을때에 추출(抽出)된 극사(極絲)의 길이는 평균(平均) $26{\mu}$이었고 극사(極絲)의 선단(先端)에서 둥근 모양의 sporoplasm이 돌출(突出)되어 있는 것이 관찰(觀察)되었다. 한편 포자(胞子)는 Giemsa, Safranin-O, Gram 등(等)의 염색(染色)에서 부분적(部分的)으로 염색(染色)되는 특징(特徵)이 나타났으며, 전자현미경(電子顯微鏡)으로 관찰(觀察)한 포자(胞子)의 미세구조(微細構造)는 제일 바깥 부분(部分)이 전자밀도(電子密度)가 높고 요철(凹凸)이 있는 얇은 exospore로 둘러싸여 있고 그 안쪽에는 투명(透明)하고 두꺼운 endospore가 있는데 endospor는 포자(胞子)의 정단부(頂端部)가 다른 부위(部位)보다 상당히 얇은데 이곳으로 극사(極絲)가 추출(抽出)되는 것으로 생각된다. endospore와 cytoplasm과의 경계부(境界部)에는 세포질(細胞質)을 싸고 있는 한층(層)의 한계막(限界膜)인 inner limitting layer가 있다. 세포질(細胞質)의 전단부(前端部)에는 polar cap이 있고 그 밑에는 lamellar 구조(構造)의 발달(發達)된 polaroplast가 있으며 polaroplast의 후부(後部)는 vesiculate part로 되어 있는 것으로 보인다. polar filament는 anchoring disc인 polar cap에서 곧게 뻗어 나아가다가 포자(胞子)의 내벽(內壁)을 따라 돌면서 용수철 처럼 말려 있는데 polar filament의 coiled part 중앙(中央)에 2중막(重膜)에 싸여진 전자밀도(電子密度)가 높은 후형질(厚形質)로된 2핵(核)이 인접(隣接)하여 있으며 포자(胞子)의 부단부(部端部)에는 posterior vacuole이 있을 것이다. 이러한 포자(胞子)의 크기와 형태(形態) 및 미세구조(微細構造)로 보아 Microsporidia인 것을 확인(確認)할 수 있으며 분류학(分類學) 상(上)의 위치(位置)는 Microsporea 강(綱), Microsporidia 일(日)에 소속(所屬)시킬 수 있고 아목(亞目) 및 속(屬)을 규명(糾明)하기 위(爲)해서는 그 생활사(生活史)가 밝혀져야 한다. Mcrosporidia S80을 2령(齡) 기잠(起蠶)에 경구접종(經口接種)한 경우(境遇)의 LD50은 $7.1{\times}10^7/ml$로서 $1.2{\times}10^7/ml$인 Nosema bombycis와 비교(比較)할때 병원성(病原性)이 낮은 것으로 나타났으나 그 발생지역(發生地域)이 경기도(京畿道)를 중심(中心)으로 인접지역(隣接地域)인 강원(江原), 충북(忠北) 충남(忠南) 및 전남(全南)에서도 발생(發生)되고 있는 점(點)과 4령기(齡期) 접종시(接種時) 전견중(全繭重)과 견층중(繭層重)에 나쁜 영향(影響)을 미칠뿐 아니라 화아비율(化蛾比率)이 낮고, 감염(感染)된 모아(母蛾)는 물론 감염(感染)된 웅아(雄蛾)와 교미(交尾)한 모아(母蛾)에서도 산란불능아(産卵不能蛾)가 발생(發生)하거나 산란수(産卵數)가 건전구(健全區)에 비(比)하여 떨어지는 동시(同時)에 부수정란(不受精卵) 비율(比率)도 높은 것으로 볼 때 사견양잠(絲繭養蠶)은 물론 종견양잠(種繭養蠶)에 있어서도 피해(被害)를 입고 있을 것으로 본다. 감염모아(感染母蛾) 21마리에서 얻은 차대잠(次代蠶)의 검사결과(檢査結果) 경란전달(徑卵傳達)은 되지 않는 것으로 나타났으나 혹시 경란전달(徑卵傳達)이 된다고 해도 그 빈도(頻度)는 매우 낮을 것이며 1/21 미만(未滿)일 것으로 생각된다.

  • 최근 스마트폰의 등장으로 인해 사용자들은 시간과 공간의 제약 없이 스마트폰을 이용한 새로운 의사소통의 방법을 경험하고 있다. 이러한 스마트폰은 고화질의 컬러화면, 고해상도 카메라, 실시간 3D 가속그래픽과 다양한 센서(GPS와 Digital Compass) 등을 제공하고 있으며, 다양한 센서들은 사용자들(개발자, 일반 사용자)로 하여금 이전에 경험하지 못했던 서비스를 경험할 수 있도록 지원하고 있다. 그 중에서 모바일 증강현실은 스마트폰의 다양한 센서들을 이용하여 개발할 수 있는 대표적인 서비스 중 하나이며, 이러한 센서들을 이용한 다양한 방법의 모바일 증강현실 연구들이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 모바일 증강현실은 크게 위치 정보 기반의 서비스와 내용 기반 서비스로 구분할 수 있다. 위치 정보 기반의 서비스는 구현이 쉬운 장점이 있으나, 증강되는 정보의 위치가 실제의 객체의 정확한 위치에 증강되는 정보가 제공되지 않는 경우가 발생하는 단점이 존재한다. 이와 반대로, 내용 기반 서비스는 정확한 위치에 증강되는 정보를 제공할 수 있으나, 구현 및 데이터베이스에 존재하는 이미지의 양에 따른 검색 속도가 증가하는 단점이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 위치 정보 기반의 서비스와 내용기반의 서비스의 장점들을 이용한 방법으로, 스마트폰의 다양한 센서(GPS, Digital Compass)로 부터 수집된 정보를 이용하여 데이터베이스의 탐색 범위를 줄이고, 탐색 범위에 존재하는 이미지들의 특징 정보를 기반으로 실제의 랜드마크를 인식하고, 인식한 랜드마크의 정보를 링크드 오픈 데이터(LOD)에서 검색하여 해당 정보를 제공하는 랜드마크 가이드 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템은 크게 2개의 모듈(랜드마크 탐색 모듈과 어노테이션 모듈)로 구성되어있다. 첫 번째로, 랜드마크 탐색 모듈은 스마트폰으로 인식한 랜드마크(건물, 조형물 등)에 해당하는 정보들을 (텍스트, 사진, 비디오 등) 링크드 오픈 데이터에서 검색하여 검색된 결과를 인식한 랜드마크의 정확한 위치에 정보를 제공하는 역할을 한다. 스마트폰으로부터 입력 받은 이미지에서 특징점 추출을 위한 방법으로는 SURF 알고리즘을 사용했다. 또한 실시간성을 보장하고 처리 속도를 향상 시키기 위한 방법으로는 입력 받은 이미지와 데이터베이스에 있는 이미지의 비교 연산을 수행할 때 GPS와 Digital Compass의 정보를 사용하여 그리드 기반의 클러스터링을 생성하여 탐색 범위를 줄임으로써, 이미지 검색 속도를 향상 시킬 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 두 번째로 어노테이션 모듈은 사용자들의 참여에 의해서 새로운 랜드마크의 정보를 링크드 오픈 데이터에 추가할 수 있는 기능을 제공한다. 사용자들은 키워드를 이용해서 링크드 오픈 데이터로에서 관련된 주제를 검색할 수 있으며, 검색된 정보를 수정하거나, 사용자가 지정한 랜드마크에 해당 정보를 표시할 수 있도록 지정할 수 있다. 또한, 사용자가 지정하려고 하는 랜드마크에 대한 정보가 존재하지 않는다면, 사용자는 랜드마크의 사진을 업로드하고, 새로운 랜드마크에 대한 정보를 생성하는 기능을 제공한다. 이러한 과정은 시스템이 카메라로부터 입력 받은 대상(랜드마크)에 대한 정확한 증강현실 컨텐츠를 제공하기 위해 필요한 URI를 찾는데 사용되며, 다양한 각도의 랜드마크 사진들을 사용자들에 의해 협업적으로 생성할 수 있는 환경을 제공한다. 본 연구에서 데이터베이스의 탐색 범위를 줄이기 위해서 랜드마크의 GPS 좌표와 Digital Compass의 정보를 이용하여 그리드 기반의 클러스터링 방법을 제안하여, 그 결과 탐색시간이 기존에는 70~80ms 걸리는 반면 제안하는 방법을 통해서는 18~20ms로 약 75% 정도 향상된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 탐색시간의 감소는 전체적인 검색시간을 기존의 490~540ms에서 438~480ms로 약 10% 정도 향상된 것을 확인하였다.

  • The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70${\pm}$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32${\pm}$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500,550,570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500,550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100,300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3,000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.
