  • We have developed the digital polysomnograph system to enhance the manual sleep study. This system is composed of host PC and target board. The host computer is IBM-PC Pentium 133 MHz and the target board is PC31 (processor type: TMS320C31). These two Processors communicate with each other by dualport RAM. Target board acquire 16 channel sleep signals from the Polysomnographic system (GRASS model 78, USA) and digitize them. We used high resolution monitor$(1600{\times}1280)$ to simulate the paper-recording quality of polysomnographic signal. We also implemented the GUI based polysomnographic staging program on the windows environment. Clinicians can score the sleep stage, and edit and mark the event efficiently. Finally it can support making patient database.

  • Most of the surveillance systems are based on CCTV, closed circuit Television. A surveillance system for urban transit is also based on CCTV. Urban transit operation corporations have a CCTV system and a lot of cameras to monitor the situation for the passengers, and the important facilities. But this system has some problems that it cannot respond to a state of emergency immediately. In this paper, we describe a configuration of an intelligent surveillance system for urban transit to solve that problems. Our proposed configuration include a camera with some intelligent module, and a processor to integrate various data from not only cameras, but also sensors such as a temperature sensor, a heat sensor, sound sensor and etc. and some other data generator. This system configuration can decide the state of the passengers and the facilities. The surveillance system with this configuration can available with the existing surveillance system without a considerable improvement.

  • In this paper, we present a new method for monitoring of ECU's sensor signals of vehicle. In order to measure the ECU's sensor signals, the interfaced circuit is designed to communicate ECU and the Embedded Linux is used to monitor communication result through Web the Embedded Linux system and this system is said "ECU Interface Part". In ECU Interface Part the interface circuit is designed to match voltage level between ECU and SA-1110 micro controller and interface circuit to communicate ECU according to the ISO, SAE communication protocol standard. Because Embedded Linux does not allow to access hardware directly in application level, anyone who wants to modify any low level hardware must develop device driver. To monitor ECU's sensor signals the most important thing is to match serial level between ECU and ECU Interface Part. It means to communicate correctly between two hardware we need to match voltage and signal level, and need to match baudrate. The voltage of SA-1110 is 0 ${\sim}$ +3.3V and ECU is 0 ${\sim}$ +12V and, ECU's communication Line K does multiple operation so, the interface circuit is used to match voltage and signal level. In Addition to ECU's baudrate is 10400bps, it's not standard baudrate in computer environment. So, we need to develop a device driver to control the interface circuit, and change baudrate. To monitor ECU's sensor signals through web there's a network socket program is working in Embedded Linux. It works as server program and manages user's connections and commands. Anyone who wants to monitor ECU's sensor signals he just only connect to Embedded Linux system with web browser then, Embedded Linux webserver will return the ActiveX webbased measurement software. It works in web browser and inits ECU, as a result it returns sensor signals through web. All the programs are developed with GCC(GNU C Compiler) and, webbased measurement software is developed with Borland C++ Builder.

  • A finite element model development of a 50th percentile male cervical spine is presented in this paper. The model consists of rigid, geometrically accurate vertebrae held together with deformable intervertibral disks, facet joints, and ligaments modeled as a series of nonlinear springs. These deformable structures were rigorously tuned, through failure, to mimic existing experimental data; first as functional unit characterizations at three cervical levels and then as a fully assembled c-spine using the experimental data from Duke University and other data in the NHTSA database. After obtaining satisfactory validation of the performance of the assembled ligamentous cervical spine against available experimental data, 22 cervical muscle pairs, representing the majority of the neck's musculature, were added to the model. Hill's muscle model was utilized to generate muscle forces within the assembled cervical model. The muscle activation level was assumed to be the same for all modeled muscles and the degree of activation was set to correctly predict available human volunteer experimental data from NBDL. The validated model is intended for use as a post processor of dummy measurement within the simulated injury monitor (SIMon) concept being developed by NHTSA where measured kinematics and kinetic data obtained from a dummy during a crash test will serve as the boundary conditions to "drive" the finite element model of the neck. The post-processor will then interrogate the model to determine whether any ligament have exceeded its known failure limit. The model will allow a direct assessment of potential injury, its degree and location thus eliminating the need for global correlates such as Nij.

  • The perimeter defense system was created and its characteristics were evaluated. It was designed to utilize the fiber sensing device, namely OTDR(Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) which has been used for the maintenance of the optical communication network. An OTDR was constituted by a pulse laser with the nature of 1310nm, +15dBm for the observation of 400 meter optical fence. The high-speed 32-bit processor(S3C2440) has applied to MPU(Main Processor Unit) which helps to improve the performance of OTDR algorithms. Consequently, the maximum error was 0.84 meter on the performance test of the 10km monitoring and the pass criteria of ${\pm}1m$ satisfied in all the sections. The alarm delay time was under 3 sec after detecting the disorder. For the case of secondary trespassing after primary trespassing, the optical switch was installed in OTDR to monitor the secondary trespassing and to measure the multi-point detection. Therefore, this paper shows that the detections of secondary trespassing and multi-point is possible by means of optical switch.

  • Purpose : The rapid development and wide popularity of Digital EEG(DEEG) is due to its convenience, accuracy and applicability for quantitative analysis. These advantages of DEEG make one hesitate to use analog EEG(AEEG). To assess the advantage of DEEG system utilizing AEEG(DAEEG) over conventional AEEG and the clinical applicability, a DAEEG system was developed and applied to animal model Methods : Sprague-Dawley rat as status epilepticus model were used for collecting the EEG data. After four epidural electrodes were inserted and connected to 8-channel analog EEG(Nihon-Kohden, Japan), continous. EEG monitoring via computer screen was done from two rats simultaneously. EEG signals through analog amplifier and filters were digitized at digital signal processor and stored in Windows-based pentium personal computer. Digital data were sampled at a rate of 200 Hz and 12 bit of resolution. Acquisition software was able to carry out 'real-time view, sensitivity control and event marking' during continuous EEG monitoring. Digital data were stored on hard disk and hacked-up on CD-ROM for off-line review. Review system consisted of off-line review, saving and printing out interesting segment and annotation function. Results: This DAEEG system could utilize most major functions of DEEG sufficiently while making a use of an AEEG. It was easy to monitor continuously compared to Conventional AEEG and to control sensitivity during ictal period. Marking the event such as a clinical seizure or drug injection was less favorable than AEEG due to slowed processing speed of digital processor and central processing unit. Reviewing EEG data was convenient, but paging speed was slow. Storage and management of data was handy and economical. Conclusion : Relatively simple digital EEG system utilizing AEEG can be set-up at n laboratory level. It may be possible to make an application for clinical purposes.

  • The objectives of this study are to develop the total maximum daily loads simulation system, TOLOS that is capable of estimating annual nonpoint source pollution from small watersheds, to monitor the hydrology and water quality of the Balkan HP#6 watershed, and to validate TOLOS with the field data. TOLOS consists of three subsystems: the input data processor based on a geographic information system, the models, and the post processor. Land use pattern at the tested watershed was classified from the Landsat TM data using the artificial neutral network model that adopts an error back propagation algorithm. Paddy field components were added to SWAT model to simulate water balance at irrigated paddy blocks. SWAT model parameters were obtained from the GIS data base, and additional parameters calibrated with field data. TOLOS was then tested with ungauged conditions. The simulated runoff was reasonably good as compared with the observed data. And simulated water quality parameters appear to be reasonably comparable to the field data.

  • In recent years, there are increasing threats of rootkits that undermine the integrity of a system by manipulating OS kernel. To cope with the rootkits, in Vigilare, the snoop-based monitoring which snoops the memory traffics of the host system was proposed. Although the previous work shows its detection capability and negligible performance loss, the problem is that the proposed design is not acceptable in recent commodity mobile application processors (APs) which have become de facto the standard computing platforms of smart devices. To mend this problem and adopt the idea of snoop-based monitoring in commercial products, in this paper, we propose a snoop-based monitor design called S-Mon, which is designed for the AP platforms. In designing S-Mon, we especially consider two design constraints in the APs which were not addressed in Vigilare; the unified memory model and the crossbar switch interconnect. Taking into account those, we derive a more realistic architecture for the snoop-based monitoring and a new hardware module, called the region controller, is also proposed. In our experiments on a simulation framework modeling a productionquality device, it is shown that our S-Mon can detect the rootkit attacks while the runtime overhead is also negligible.
