In this paper, we devised a pulse rate detection system to provide basic clinical index of cold-hot diagnosis of oriental medicine. The system consists of pulse signal detection, respiration signal detection, electrocardiograph detection, A/D conversion and computer system parts. We define a pulse rate by a pulse count to the respiration period inspiration pulse rate by a pulse count to the inspiration period, and expiration pulse rate by a pulse count to the expiration period. The clinical experiments for normal Person to evaluate the pulse rate detection system show the pulse/respiration ratio of 4.30${\pm}$1.03, the pulse/inspiration ratio of 1.60${\pm}$0.32, the pulse/expiration ratio of 2.37${\pm}$0.75.

Heart rate may be a very important parameter in human health. To extract heart rate, the electrocardiogram(ECG) is commonly used. But the ECG acquisition procedure is very complex. On the other hand, the acquisition of pulse wave or photoplethysmogram(PPG) is very easy. However, the peak of PPG is not so sharp as ECG. This study tries to enhance the performance of peak detection in PPG signal. The method uses the average slopes around the main peak. The crossing point of the increasing and the decreasing slopes is selected as the peak point of heart rate period. The proposed method showed smoothed heart rate graph and reduced irregularity in heart rate values.

In this study we present a system for pulse-rate period detection and human sensibility evaluation based on the wireless medical telemetry service (WMTS) used for transmission of data from medical telemetry devices to various medical facilities and services. We develop a medical-purpose specific WMTS communication module to transmit biometric signals. From the pulse rate variability(PRV) signal, we attempt to classify positive and negative emotional states based on analysis of the ratio of LF/HF in the frequency domain. We measure the data reception rate according to distance in order to test the performance of the WMTS module and analyze the effects on human sensibility evaluation.

광전용적맥파는 인체의 말초 부위에서 맥파를 검출하는데 널리 이용되고 있으며 심박동수 측정 및 혈액산소포화도 측정에 이용되고 있다. 본 연구는 940 nm의 적외선을 이용한 광전용적맥파를 이용하여 손목에서 요골동맥의 맥파를 기록하였으며 센서의 측정 위치에 따라 맥파의 모양이 다르게 나타나는 것을 관찰하였다. 요골동맥 바로 위의 피부부위에서 기록되는 광전용적파는 손가락 끝에서 기록되는 맥파에 비하여 반전되어있는 특성을 보였다. 반전된 맥파의 발생기전은 센서의 발광부에서 나오는 940 nm의 적외선이 조직에 입사하여 반사되어 나오는 경로의 용적 변화가 심장주기에 따라 일어나지만 손가락 끝부분에 비하여 반대 작용이 있음을 나타낸다. 요골동맥의 바로 위 피하 조직은 심장주기에 따라 동맥의 확장 또는 수축이 발생하면 동맥외벽과 피부 사이 조직에 혈류량의 변화가 일어나며 동맥의 확장 시에는 혈류량이 감소하고 이완시에는 증가되는 특성으로 인하여 반전맥파를 형성하는 것으로 추측된다. 이러한 결과는 요골동맥의 벽에서 적외선 반사가 있음을 시사한다.

Purpose: Pulse crop damage due to wild birds is a serious problem, to the extent that the rate of damage during the period of time between seeding and the stage of cotyledon reaches 45.4% on average. This study investigated a method of fundamentally blocking birds from eating crops by conducting vinyl mulching after seeding and identifying the growing locations for beans to perform punching. Methods: Infrared (IR) sensors that could measure the temperature without contact were used to recognize the locations of soybean cotyledons below vinyl mulch. To expand the measurable range, 10 IR sensors were arranged in a linear array. A sliding mechanical device was used to reconstruct the two-dimensional spatial variance information of targets. Spatial interpolation was applied to the two-dimensional temperature distribution information measured in real time to improve the resolution of the bean coleoptile locations. The temperature distributions above the vinyl mulch for five species of soybeans over a period of six days from the appearance of the cotyledon stage were analyzed. Results: During the experimental period, cases where bean cotyledons did and did not come into contact with the bottom of the vinyl mulch were both observed, and depended on the degree of growth of the bean cotyledons. Although the locations of bean cotyledons could be estimated through temperature distribution analyses in cases where they came into contact with the bottom of the vinyl mulch, this estimation showed somewhat large errors according to the time that had passed after the cotyledon stage. The detection results were similar for similar types of crops. Thus, this method could be applied to crops with similar growth patterns. According to the results of 360 experiments that were conducted (five species of bean ${\times}$ six days ${\times}$ four speed levels ${\times}$ three repetitions), the location detection performance had an accuracy of 36.9%, and the range of location errors was 0-4.9 cm (RMSE = 3.1 cm). During a period of 3-5 days after the cotyledon stage, the location detection performance had an accuracy of 59% (RMSE = 3.9 cm). Conclusions: In the present study, to fundamentally solve the problem of damage to beans from birds in the early stage after seeding, a working method was proposed in which punching is carried out after seeding, thereby breaking away from the existing method in which seeding is carried out after punching. Methods for the accurate detection of soybean growing locations were studied to allow punching to promote the continuous growth of soybeans that had reached the cotyledon stage. Through experiments using multiple IR sensors and a sliding mechanical device, it was found that the locations of the crop could be partially identified 3-5 days after reaching the cotyledon stage regardless of the kind of pulse crop. It can be concluded that additional studies of robust detection methods considering environmental factors and factors for crop growth are necessary.

본 논문에서는 다중경로 임펄스 전파 채널 환경에서 중 저속통신에 적합한 저전력, 저복잡도의 IR-UWB 수신기를 제안하였다. 제안된 수신기는 자승기 및 적분기를 사용하여 복잡한 Rake 구조를 사용하지 않고서도 다중경로 환경 하에서 분산된 임펄스 신호의 에너지를 효과적으로 합산하였다. 또한 임펄스 신호의 검출을 위하여 1-bit Sampler를 사용하여 기존의 고속 병렬 ADC를 대체하였으며 이 과정에서 Sample Rate을 낮추고 BER 손실을 줄이기 위하여 Sampler의 입력으로 수신 신호의 저주파 성분인 포락선을 사용하였고, 샘플 획득 후 디지털 상관기 회로를 추가하였다. 그리고 수신되는 임펄스 마다 심벌 결정구간을 설정하여 이 구간 내에서 임펄스 심벌을 판단하는 구간동기 개념을 사용하였으며, 이로써 임펄스 신호의 동기 조건을 완화시키어 간단한 디지털 동기회로 만으로 정밀한 PLL을 대체할 뿐 아니라 다중 경로 및 timing error 등의 내 외부 환경의 변화에 효과적으로 대응하였다. 제안된 수신기는 IEEE 802.15.4a에서 제안된 채널 모델을 활용하여 그 성능을 모의 검증하였고 FPGA로 구현하여 실제 환경에서 그 성능을 입증하였다.

This study was performed to validate the procedure of transarterial embolization of the renal artery (TAE-RA) and sclerotherapy of renal pelvis using iohexol-ethanol solution in dogs with unilateral experimental hydronephrosis. Experimental hydronephrosis was induced by unilateral ureter ligation for 20 days in five Beagle dogs. Renal artery embolization with iohexol-ethanol solution was performed using selective catheterization technique in the hydronephrotic kidney and sclerotherapy was done by injection of the iohexol-ethanol solution through percutaneously placed pig-tail catheter. EKG, $SpO_2$ body temperature, pulse, and respiratory rate were within normal ranges during procedures. Average pure ethanol dose for renal artery embolization was $1.1\pm0.3ml/kg$. Renal artery embolization was confirmed by the detection of no blood flow signal at the interlobar and arcuate artery using color Doppler ultrasonography. There were no dogs expired after TAE-RA and sclerotherapy and no side effects associated with regurgitation of iohexol-ethanol solution. The value of BUN, creatinine, ALT, AST, Ca, P in five dogs were within normal range during the experiment period. Ultrasonographically, the mean longitudinal and transverse length and the depth of the embolized kidney significantly decreased at 28 days after TAE-RA. We may conclude that TAE-RA and sclerotherapy with iohexol-ethanol solution is an effective methods for the treatment of unilateral hydronephrosis in dogs.
