This paper presents a high-speed sensing and noise cancellation technique for large touch screens, which is called FDCS (Frequency Division Concurrent Sensing). Most conventional touch screen detection methods apply excitation pulses sequentially and analyze the sensing signals sequentially, and so are often unacceptably slow for large touch screens. The proposed technique applies sinusoidal signals of orthogonal frequencies simultaneously to all drive lines, and analyzes the signals from each sense line in frequency domain. Its parallel driving allows high speed detection even for a very large touch screens. It enhances the sensing SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) by introducing a frequency domain noise filtering scheme. We also propose a pre-distortion equalizer, which compensates the drive signals using the inverse transfer function of touch screen panel to further enhance the sensing SNR. Experimental results with a 23" large touch screen show that the proposed technique enhances the frame scan rate by 273% and an SNR by 43dB compared with a conventional scheme.

Because of the rising healthcare costs, there is a growing need for developing efficiency indicators for medical resources use and measuring efficiency of healthcare providers and healthcare systems using them. In this study, we aimed to develop efficiency indicators for medical resources use by means of Delphi technique. We systematically reviewed the existing measures of medical resource use. Thirty nine indicators were selected as a candidates across the six domains: medical personnel, medical equipment, medical facilities, ethical management, resource efficiency, and drug use. To develop efficiency indicators with professional consensus, a 2-round Delphi survey was conducted among 29 professional experts. The following indicators were selected based on the Delphi survey results: adjusted number of the patient per day and level of the nurse number medical personnel in medical personnel domain; the number of the scan a professional physician and the quality of the scan in medical equipment domain; bed utilization rate in medical facility domain; drug price reported pharmaceutical price by medical institutions, medical fee billing transparency, and medical care appropriateness in ethical management domain; costliness index in resource efficiency domain; and utilization of high cost drug and items per prescription in drug use domain. The efficiency indicators could provide valid information about efficiency of healthcare providers and healthcare systems with respect to their resources use and facilitate policies to improve their efficiency.

Using computer-aided design and manufacturing technique improve quality of treatment in many aspect. This case reports the complete mouth rehabilitation of a patient with amelogenesis imperfecta utilizing digital technology. Clinical examination revealed loss of mastication due to insufficient occlusal stop, missing teeth, interdental spacing due to microdontia, insufficient overbite, and etc. Full veneer crowns for teeth were selected, followed by a fixed partial denture and implant placement was done using CAD-CAM guide template with bone graft for partially edentulous space. Definitive restorations were duplicated by double scanning provisional restorations and successfully delivered to the patient. These full mouth rehabilitation procedures resulted in satisfactory outcomes for the patient functionally and aesthetically.

Hemimandibulectomy and free fibular flap (FFF) in patients with squamous cell carcinoma could disturb the functional movement of the mandible. The muscular function in the sectioned side was compromised because of the incompetency of the muscle attachment to the mandible, leading to the unstable occlusal contact in the centric and eccentric occlusion. In this report, we present a case of a 63-year-old male who underwent cancer surgery and reconstruction with fibular graft, and he needed a fixed dental prosthesis to restore tooth loss in the anterior region. Occlusal contact change and instability were found according to the bite force in the centric relation and eccentric movement. This case report aimed to present the prosthetic procedure for fabricating the functionally optimized fixed prosthesis wherein the functionally generated path (FGP) technique and digital imaging method were applied to replicate mandibular movement and vertical dimension of the patient.

A huge amount of multiplications is required for 2-D filtering on the image data, making it difficult to implement a real-time quincuncial interpolator. In this paper, efficient design technique and VLSI structures for 2-D multipleierless filter are presented. In the filter design, by introducing an efficient scheme for discretizing the frequency response of the prototype filter, it is shown that a significant amount of the computational burden required in the conventional techniques, such as local search, branch and bound techniques, could be saved. In the case of 5$\times$5 filter, it is found that the design technique described in this paper could save about 80% of the computation time, compared to the conventional methods, while providing a comparable performance. For a hardware implementation, two different VLSI structures for 2-D multiplierless filter are also introduced in the paper : One is for block parallel processing and the other for scan-line parallel processing. In both structure, the AP(area-period) figure improves over Wu's structure[4].

In this paper, a technique to expand the Input and Output (I/O) of the programmable logic controller (PLC) using remote I/O module is presented. The controller and the remote I/O module should have the same protocol and are interfaced through RS 485. Each remote I/O module consists of 16 digital input and 16 digital output, and the maximum of 32 remote I/O module can be linked to one controller. The remote I/O is programmed for interrupt request to controller independently. Therefore, there is no affect to the scan time of the controller. Using this technique, the PLC can be efficiently applied to the several hundred meters different control points such as the ON-OFF control fur the agriculture farm, the building automation system, a multi group of machine control.

A high speed address recovery technique for AC plasma display panel(PDP) is proposed. By removing the GND switching operation, the recovery speed can be increased and switching loss due to GND switch also becomes to be reduced. The proposed method is able to perform load-adaptive operation by controlling the voltage level of energy recovery capacitor, which prevents increasing inefficient power consumption caused by circuit loss during recovery operation. Thus, th e technique shows the minimum address power consumption according to various displayed images, different from prior methods operating in fixed mode regardless of images. Test results with 50' HD single- scan PDP(resolution : $1366{\times}768$) show that less than 350ns of recovery time is successfully accomplished and about $54\%$ of the maximum power consumption can be reduced, tracing minimum power consumption curves.

This paper presents a methodology of the technique for controlling DC motor drive by implementation of 2-quadrant operating mode which can ensure the torque controlling and speed with response time less than 2 seconds at all loading conditions. By implementation of BRM technique, energy is fed with definite values of BRM 256 bits, with different patterns of high accuracy, and fixing scan time at 0.667 ms, the ripple is less than 1%, thus high efficiency can be achieved, from the consequence of the accuracy of energy feeding at low current. The stability of the whole system can be determined from circle criterion by root locus method . The instant reverse direction of rotation can be done by decreasing the energy to the lowest level while motor is running with no load and variable load at the speed about 100-120 rpm and 50-60 rpm.

Purpose Surgical correction of various occular problems which do not have visual problem in plastic surgical area is to normalize the appearance of the face by restoring the normal position of orbit and eyeball. With development of surgical technique, the orbit can be restored exactly in trauma patient and can be moved totally in hypertelorism, as an example of congenital disease. All these surgeries are based on the hypothesis that the position of oclular glove moves in the plane in a quantitatively predictable reationship to osseous orbit movement. However, no studies have critically evaluated between the change of periorbital soft tissue and the outcome of the surgical correction, because there is no method of objective, quantitave evaluation of the periorbital soft tissue. Method Author suggest the methodology for quantitative assessment of ocular and periocular fat changes using the manipulation of digital images of computed tomographic scan. Results The method was allowed to evaluate inter-dacryon distance, inter-centroid distance, movement of the medial orbital wall, movement of the lateral orbital wall, alteration of thickness of the lateral periorbital fat as indicator of movement of the orbital wall and orbit in the patient with congenital periorbital anomaly and postoperative periorbital surgery. The goal of surgical correction of various occular problems which do not have visual problem in plastic surgical area is to normalize the appearance of the face by restoring the normal position of orbit and eyeball. With development of surgical technique, the orbit can be restored exactly in trauma patient and can be moved totally in hypertelorism, as an example of congenital disease. All these sugeries are based on the hypothesis that the position of oclular glove moves in the plane in a quantitatively predictable relationship to osseous orbit movement. However, no studies have critically evaluated between the change of periorbital soft tissue and the outcome of the surgical correction, because there is no method of objective, quantitave evaluation of the periorbital soft tissue. In this report, author suggest the methodology for quantitative assessment of ocular and periocular fat changes using the manipulation of digital images of computed tomographic scan. Conclusion The method suggested is objective and accurate method in measurement of the orbital contents. It takes time and is not easy to do, however, this kind of measurement for fine structures will be more easily available in near future.
