한방의학에서 절진에 속하는 맥진은 28가지의 맥상 분석 방식을 기존의 아날로그 시스템에 적용하여 사용하였다. 그러나 아날로그 시스템은 ECG (Electrocardiogram)와 같은 특징점 추출방법을 이용해 맥파를 분석하는데 특징점 추출방법과 입력 신호의 과도한 증폭으로 맥파의 Clipping현상이 발생되어 맥파의 모양을 정확하게 분석할 수 없는 문제점들이 발생되었다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 아날로그 맥진기 시스템에 문제점을 보완하기 위한 방안의 하나로 전자 맥진기 시스템의 중요한 부분이라 할 수 있는 디지털 필터를 설계하기 위하여 신호의 특징점 추출을 위한 C-spline 보간법을 이용하고, signal modeling에 Prony's method로 디지털 필터를 설계하는 방법을 제안 하였다. 또한 기존의 아날로그 시스템에 맥파 분석 방법의 문제점을 보안하기 위한 전자 맥진기 시스템을 구성하여 새로운 맥파 분석 알고리즘과 아날로그 시스템에서 분석이 어려웠던 맥파의 모양 분석 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 증폭 단 이후 제안된 필터 설계방법을 이용하여 구성된 전자 맥진기 시스템의 출력 값이 아날로그 맥진기의 출력 파형과 아주 유사하면서 파형이 깨끗한 신호를 얻을 수 있어 설계방법의 적합성을 확인 하였고, 제안된 알고리즘에 의한 맥파 분석 결과가 아날로그 시스템의 맥파 분석 보다 정확한 맥파를 분석할 수 있었음을 확인할 수가 있었다.

전자전에서 적군이 방사한 펄스 신호에 관한 정보 중에서 펄스 세기는 방사되는 신호원의 거리를 추정하고 혼재되어 들어오는 신호원들을 분리할 때 사용된다. 기존의 펄스 세기 추정 방식에서는 이전 단계에서 추정된 펄스폭에 해당하는 신호를 푸리에 변환한 후에 주파수 영역으로 변환된 신호 세기의 최댓값을 수신된 펄스 신호의 세기로 추정을 하였다. 하지만 이러한 방식은 주파수 변조 신호가 수신될 경우 주파수 영역에서 에너지가 분산되어 펄스 세기를 정확하게 추정하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 개선하기 위하여 시간 영역에서 수신된 펄스의 평균 전력을 구하고 수신기에서의 잡음의 평균 전력을 제거하여 펄스 세기를 추정하는 기법을 제안한다. 모의실험을 통해 주파수 변조 신호가 수신될 경우에 제안된 기법이 무변조 신호와 동일한 성능을 가지는 것을 보인다. 추가로 펄스 세기 추정은 이전 단계에서 발생한 펄스 폭 오차에 영향을 받게 되는데, 동일한 펄스 폭의 오차가 발생했을 때 기존 기법보다 제안하는 기법이 강건함을 보인다.

Pulse diagnosis, the most popular diagnostic tool in traditional Korean medicine, had had many forms but had been fixed on using wrist pulse and placing internal organs on Cun, Guan and Chi(寸 關 尺). Wang Shuhe(王叔和) suggested placing six viscera(六腑) on Cun, Guan and Chi based on relationship between external and internal meridian vessel, and Zhang Jiebin(張介賓) criticized his suggestion and insisted that pulse diagnosis should be based on the organ system. But the origin of pulse diagnosis which can be found in "(Huangdi's) Internal Classic(黃帝內經)" is a tool mainly for diagnosis of not internal organ system but meridian system. Most of material about pulse diagnosis after Ming dynasty(明代) reinterpreted pulse diagnosis in the aspect of organ system, So there has to be additional discussion about it.

This study aims at providing a simple and effective methodology to define a meaningful characteristic period for special class of earthquake records named "pulse-like ground motions". In the proposed method, continuous wavelet transform is employed to extract the large pulse of ground motions. Then, Fourier amplitude spectra obtained from the original ground motion and the residual motion is simply compared. This comparison permits to define a threshold pulse-period (Tp∗) as the threshold period above which the pulse component has negligible contributions to the Fourier amplitude spectrum. The effect of pulse on frequency content of motions was discussed on the light of this definition. The advantage and superior features of the new definition were related to the inelastic displacement ratio (IDR) for single-degree-of-freedom systems with period equal to one half of the threshold period. Analyses performed for the proposed period at three ductility levels u=2,4,6 were compared with the results obtained at half of pulse period derived from wavelet analysis, peak-point method and the peak of product of the velocity and the displacement response spectra (Sv x Sd). According to the results, pulse effects on inelastic displacement ratio seem to be more important when $\frac{T_p^*}{T}=2$ (T is the fundamental vibration period of system). The results showed that utilizing of the proposed definition could facilitate an enhanced understanding of pulse-like records features.

The pulse diagnosis is an important and universally used method in Oriental Medicine. Since the traditional method of palpating the pulse relies on the subjective sense in the fingers of an Oriental Medical Doctor(OMD), there has been continued need for more objective method for pulse diagnosis. Recently, various pulse analyzers have been developed to meet such objective palpation and interpretation. However, most of these attempts were not successful to replace OMD's own palpation by fingers. To improve the performance of the pulse analyzers, one should develop machine-appropriate interpretations for the pulse images in the literature, in addition to the improvement in the repeatability and reproducibility. One of such widely-used pulse images to be interpreted is the floating and sinking pulse. The floating and sinking pulses are the two representative pulse images informing us how strong pressure one should apply to obtain the maximal pulse strength. A previous study suggested a convenient and unified measure for the floating and sinking pulses by defining the coefficient of the floating-sinking pulse(CFS). We found the original definition of the CFS could be erroneous under some situations. To improve the performance, we introduce new CFS algorithm for determining the floating and sinking pulse with a pulse analyzers(3-D MAC). To test the performance of the newly suggested algorithm, we conducted a clinical study comparing the agreement ratio with the floating and sinking pulse diagnosis by the OMDs. We found that, among the subjects who are diagnosed with having either the floating pulse or sinking pulse, the new CFS algorithm showed 55.3% diagnosis rate and 73.0% concordance rate, which are about 3% and 6% improvement in the diagnosis rate and agreement rate, respectively, compared to the original CFS algorithm.

This paper describes the measurement of pulse positioning (input time) to calculate a time of arrival (TOA) that takes from transmitting a signal from the target of multilateration (MLAT) system to receiving the signal at the receiver. In this regard, this paper analyzes performances of simple threshold method and level adjust system (LAS) method, which is one of the adaptive threshold detector (ATD) methods, among many methods to calculate pulse positioning of signal received at the receiver. To this end, Cramer-rao lower bound (CRLB) with regard to pulse positioning, which was measured when signals transmitted from a transponder mounted at the target were received at the receiver, was induced and then deviation sizes with regard to pulse positioning, which was measured with simple threshold and LAS methods through MATLAB simulations, were compared. Next, problems occurring according to a difference in amplitude of signals inputted to each receiver are described when pulse positioning is measured at multiple receivers located at a different distance from the target as is the case in the MLAT system. Furthermore, LAS method to resolve the problems is explained. Lastly, this study analyzes whether a pulse positioning error occurring due to the signal noise satisfies the requirement (6 nsec. or lower) recommended for the MLAT system when using these two methods.

It is need to develop and apply a human pulse diagnosis system providing a quantitative and automatic analysis in the the oriental medicine. In order to analyze quantitatively the characteristic of pulsation, each of points had to be recognized accurately notifying the existence and the position of feature point in the wave form. And getting the period of human pulse. Thus, in this paper, it is proposed the preprocessing method of human pulse and the detection method of period by Wavelet Transformation. The human pulse is seprated from each band through Wavelet Transformation and feature points can be recognized through over the fact, and then the parameter of proposed Mac-Jin parameter is measured. Commonly, Human pulse signal has often various noises which are baseline drift, high frequency noise and so on. So it is significant to remove that noises. Thus, in this paper, the one period of human pulse is deciede and the feature points are detected after doing the preprocessing by wavelet transformation. As a result, it could be confirmed that this method is effective as a real program for the auto-diagnosis of human pulse.

In the past decades, complain about ground vibration and noise induced by pile driving has been quickly increased. Because of that, auger drilled piling methods have frequently used specially in urban area. However, the present auger drilled piling methods induce inevitable ground disturbance as well as a certain degree of vibration and noise due to the final hammering. For these reasons, a new auger drilled piling method is required to be developed. This paper introduces PDT(Pulse Discharge Technology) piling method and presents the characteristics of bearing capacity. The PDT piling method is to install in-situ piles using electric power so called Pulse. The pile installed by PDT appears to be able to develop shaft and end bearing capacity efficiently. This paper introduces PDT(Pulse Discharge Technology) piling method, which is the 512nd new construction technology. The PDT piling method is to install in-situ piles using electrical power so called Pulse power. The pulse power is physical value that indicates the energy change per unit time(dE/dt). Since the pulse power is to push ground, using the pulse power is enable a hole to be expanded as well as the ground to be improved by compaction. Therefore, The pile installed by PDT appears to be able to develop shaft and end bearing capacity efficiently. In this study, couples of pile loading tests were carried out to figure out whether or not the PDT piling method is applicable to constructions like rail road facility. As a result, it was concluded that the PDT piling technique meet the requirements for such a rail road related construction.

인공위성 반작용휠의 속도측정은 크게 펄스 개수 측정 방법과 펄스 간 시간 측정 방법으로 나뉠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 반작용휠의 타코 펄스에 불균일성이 존재할 때 두 가지 방법들에 대한 오차 분석이 이루어졌다. 펄스 간 시간 측정 방법은 고속에서는 시간 측정에 사용되는 고주파 클럭에, 저속에서는 시간 측정에 사용되는 펄스 개수에 크게 영향을 받지만 이 값들을 잘 선택함으로써 분해능 및 정밀도가 펄스개수 측정 방법보다 항상 더 좋도록 설계할 수 있다. 그러나 반작용휠의 타코 펄스 간격에 불균일성이 존재할 때에는 측정 정확도가 저하된다. 본 연구에서 저하되는 측정 정확도를 정량적으로 분석하였으며 그 결과 시간 측정에 사용되는 펄스 개수를 늘림으로써 저하 되는 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 해석적으로 검증하였다.
