Purpose : This study aimed to compare peripheral pulse oxygen saturation (SpO₂) values, measured at different monitoring sites, and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO₂) of neurocritical patients. Methods : The study included 110 patients admitted to the neurosurgical intensive care unit of a university hospital. The patients' SpO₂ values were measured in their index fingers, both second toes, both earlobes, and foreheads, using the patient monitoring system. These values were compared with the standard value of SaO₂ measured using a blood gas analyzer. Data were analyzed using descriptive values, Pearson's correlation coefficients, Lin's concordance correlation coefficients (CCC), and Bland-Altman plots. Result : Regardless of the measuring site, SpO₂ was correlated with the paired measurements of SaO₂ (r=.40~.60, p<.001, CCC range=.40~.58). No significant bias in paired measurements of SpO₂ and SaO₂ was observed at all sites (-0.06~0.19%, p>.05). SpO₂ values at the left finger and right earlobe had the narrowest range, with a 95% limits of agreement (LOA) (left finger -3.04~2.93% and right earlobe -3.18~2.79%). SpO₂ at the index finger, on the side without an arterial catheter, had a narrower range of 95% LOA than that of the opposing finger (-3.00~2.97% vs. -3.73~3.26%). Conclusion : SpO₂ at the finger without an arterial catheter had the highest level of precision. This study suggests using the index finger, on the side without an arterial catheter, for pulse oximetry in neurocritical patients.

The vibration characteristics of hyoid gears are experimentally investigated with backlash and tooth mesh frequency varied. Experiments are performed with two types of gear sets; well-machined and over-lapped gears. Through the experimental works, a constant torque 0.8kg.m is applied to th gears and a pulse type of trigger signal synchronizing tooth contact is used to measure the tooth mesh frequency and to average the gear vibration signal in the time domain. The time averaged vibration signals are frequency analyzed by a digital signal analyzer. The experimental results show the vibration characteristics of the two different types of gears in relation to backlash amount and mesh frequency variations are well differentiated by harmonic amplitudes and their ratios, and peak-to-peak amplitude of the gear vibration.

In this paper, the calibration system for contact transducer has been developed to improve the reliability of the inspection result of ultrasonic testing on rotors. This system consists of signal processing parts: (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, pulser/receiver), standard block, and user interface program. Signal processing for the calibration system was performed quickly with high accuracy. The developed system has been applied to a practical calibration of probe using the non-destructive testing on rotors, and demonstrated high sensitivity and precision.

Pulsed ultrasonic Doppler system is a useful diagnostic instrument to measure blood-flow-velocity, velocity profile, and volume-blood-flow. This system is more powerful compare with 2-dimensional B-scan tissue image. A system has been deve- loped and ii being evaluated using TMS 32010 DSP. We use this DSP for the purpose of real-time spectrum analyzer to obtain spectrogram in singlegate pulsed Doppler system and for the serial comb filter to cancel clutter and zero crossing counter to estimate Doppler mean frequency in multigate pulsed Doppler system. The Doppler shift of the backscattered signals is sensed in a phase detector. This Doppler signal corresponds to the mean velocity over a some region in space defined by the ultrasonic beam dimensions, transmitted pulse duration, and transducer ban(iwidth. Multi- gate pulsed Doppler system enable the transcutaneous and simultaneous assessment of the velocities in a number of adjacent sample volumes as a continuous function of time. A multigate pulsed Doppler system processing the information originating from presented.

The 3-dimensional(3D) chip stacking technology is one of the leading technologies to realize a high density and high performance system in package(SIP). It could be found that it is the advanced process of through-hole via formation with the minimum damaged on the Si-wafer. Laser ablation is very effective method to penetrate through hole on the Si-wafer because it has the advantage that formed under $100{\mu}m$ diameter through-hole via without using a mask. In this paper, we studied the optimum method for a formation of through-hole via using femto-second laser heat sources. Furthermore, the processing parameters of the specimens were several conditions such as power of output, pulse repetition rate as well as irradiation method and time. And also the through-hole via form could be investigated and analyzed by microscope and analyzer.

This paper presents a novel bipolar junction transistor (BJT) based electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device. This protection device was designed for 20V power clamps and fabricated by a process with Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) $0.18{\mu}m$. The current-voltage characteristics of this protection device was verified by the transmission line pulse (TLP) system and the DC BV characteristic was verified by using a semiconductor parameter analyzer. From the experimental results, the proposed device has a trigger voltage of 29.1V, holding voltage of 22.4V and low on-resistance of approximately $1.6{\Omega}$. In addition, the test of ESD robustness showed that the ESD successfully passed through human body model (HBM) 8kV. In this paper, the operational mechanism of this protection device was investigated by structural analysis of the proposed device. In addition, the proposed device were obtained as stack structures and verified.

Thermal neutron activation analysis was applied to determine the trace amount of Vanadium and Manganese in Buyo and Kumsan Ginseng. These elements have been regarded to have great nutritional value and one of the indispensable factor in the growth of ginseng. The TRIGA MARK II Reactor in Atomic Energy Research Institute was used for the neutron source. The samples were irradiated for 10 minutes for Vanadium and for 5 minutes for Manganese at the neutron flux of about $1.28{\times}10^{12}n/cm^2/sec$ and the RCL 256 Channel Pulse-Height Analyzer connected with $2"{\times}2"$ Nal(Tl) was used for activity determination. The amounts were about 0.02 ppm for Vanadium and 20 ppm for Manganese, and it was also found that the amounts of the elements were slightly different depending on the kinds of ginsengs.

With the variation of Ag concentration in bath, current density, additive and agitation for electroplating of Sn-Ag solder, the compositions and the morphologies of solder were studied. It was possible to control Ag content in Sn-Ag solder by varying Ag concentration in bath and current density The microstructure size of Sn-Ag solder decreased with increasing current density. Duty cycle of pulse electroplating and quantity of additive affected on Ag content of deposit and surface roughness. In this work eutectic Sn-Ag solder bumps with fine pitch of 30m and height of 15m was formed successfully. The Ag content of electrodeposited solder was confirmed by EDS and WDS analyses and the surface morphologies was analyzed by SEM and 3D surface analyzer.

A method for the direct determination of elemental content in each of aerosol particles by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission (ICP-AES) or mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is described. This method is based upon the introduction of diluted aerosol into an ICP and the measurement of either the flash emission intensities of an atomic spectral line or ion intensities. A pulse-height analyzer is used for the measurement of the distribution of the elemental content. In order to calibrate the measuring system, monodisperse aerosols are used. The potentials of the method are shown by demonstrating the copper emission signals from the aerosols generated at a small electric switch, a study of the relation between the decreasing rate of particle number density and particle size, and measurements of calcium contents in the individual biological cells.

A Dynamic vibration absorber(DVA) is developed to reduce the excessive vibration of an optical disk drive(ODD) originated from the deriving range of an wobble disk and unbalanced disk. We design the material properties and shapes of the DVA by simulating Frequency response function(FRF) such as target frequency, mass of the DVA, stiffness of damper, damping coefficient, shape and dimension, analyze dynamic characteristics and provide its design guide line for suppressing the vibration of an optical disk derive. To examine the performance of the DVA, the vibration of the feeding system with DVA and without DAA are measured by using a three-axis accelerometer, PCB derive and Pulse analyzer. The result show that the proposed DVA reduces the vibration of wide range in ODD.
