통신 채널에서 블라인드 등화는 전송효율을 저하시키는 훈련신호나 채널의 사전 정보가 필요치 않은 장점 때문에 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 선형예측을 이용한 블라인드 등화는 등화기의 차수 추정 오차에 강인하며 적응 알고리듬을 이용하여 효율적으로 구현할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 하지만 기존의 one-step 선형예측을 이용한 블라인드 등화기는 임의의 결정 지연에 대해서는 구현할 수 없는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 SIMO 채널에서 one-step 순방향 선형예측 필터를 이용하여 임의의 결정 지연을 갖는 블라인드 등화기를 제안한다. 제안한 알고리듬은 순방향 추정 오차를 훈련신호로 사용하여 최적의 결정 지연을 갖는 블라인드 등화기를 구하였으며 모의실험을 통하여 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리듬의 성능을 확인하였다.

공동흐름에서 직각 계단은 커다란 소음의 원인이 되어 많은 사람들의 와류와 직각계단의 상호 작용 시에 발생되는 소음의 저감 방안을 연구하여 왔다. 본 연구에서는 2차원 저아음속 와류 흐름이 전향계단을 지날 때 발생되는 유동 소음을 전향계단의 형상 변화를 통한, 즉, 계단의 모따기 양과 각도를 바꾸어 가면서 수치적으로 계산하였다. 내부 유동장을 구하기 위해서 비압축성 비점성 이산와류 모델을 가정하였으며, 유동정보로부터 원거리로의 음향장 계산은 MAE 이론을 적용하여 구하였다. 음원에서의 음압과 음압강도를 모따기 높이 및 모따기 각도와 최기 와류의 높이를 변화시켜가면서 다양하게 수치적인 결과를 얻어내었다. 본 연구를 통해서 계단에 접근하는 와류에 의한 원거리 음압은 모따기 양이 계단 높이의 30%에서 모따기 각도가 $15^{\circ}C$에서 $30^{\circ}C$°사이일 때 가장 소음이 적게 발생되는 결과를 얻어내었다.

In this paper, the characteristics of piezoelectric transformer is studied for driving CCFL(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp). In order to investigate the effects of geometrical dimensions, λvibration-mode type piezoelectric transformers with different sizes in the length(l), width$(\omega)$ and thickness(t) are made of ceramics with PZT-PMWS compositions. The increases in temperature and aging effect are also measured in the transformer of PT-3 sample under the condition of operation continuously for 10 hrs. As the results of dimensional effects, the output power and voltage step-up ratio are largely affected by the ratio of length to thickness(l/t) rather than that of length to $width(l/\omega)$. The output power and step-up ratio are increased with increasing l/t. On case of PT-3, the output voltages are 510[Vrms] at 36[Vrms] in input voltage, $100[k\Omega]$ in load resistance. Temperature increases and variation of output voltages are $10[^{\circ}C]$ and less than 5[%], respectively.

A large leakage current may be one of the critical issues for poly-silicon thin film transistors(poly-Si TFTs) for LCD applications. In order to reduce the leakage current of poly-Si TFTs, several offset gated structures have been reported. However, those devices, where the offset length in the source region is not same as that in the drain region, exhibit the asymmetric electrical performances such as the threshold voltage shift and the variation of the subthreshold slope. The different offset length is caused by the additional mask step for the conventional offset structures. Also the self-aligned implantation may not be applicable due to the mis-alignment problem. In this paper, we propose a new fabrication method for poly-Si TFTs with a self-aligned offset gated structure by employing a photo resistor reflow process. Compared with the conventional poly-Si TFTs, the device is consist of two gate electrodes, of which one is the entitled main gate where the gate bias is employed and the other is the entitled subgate which is separate from both sides of the main gate. The poly-Si channel layer below the offset oxide is protected from the injected ion impurities for the source/drain implantation and acts as an offset region of the proposed device. The key feature of our new device is the offset lesion due to the offset oxide. Our experimental results show that the offset region, due to the photo resistor reflow process, has been successfully obtained in order to fabricate the offset gated poly-Si TFTs. The advantages of the proposed device are that the offset length in the source region is the same as that in the drain region because of the self-aligned implantation and the proposed device does not require any additional mask process step.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of anterior, posterior, and lateral pelvic tilt exercise upon the gait characteristics of patients with hemiplegia including their gait velocity, cadence, stride length, step length of the non affected side, step length of the affected side, foot angle of the non affected side, foot angle of the affected side, base of support, and so on. The subject of this study was 24 men and women patients with hemiplegia. The patients, the subject of this study, were classified into 12 patients of treatment group applying pelvic tilt exercise using visual feedback and 12 patients of control group applying general pelvic tilt exercise, and then analyzed their gait before and after exercise. Temporal distance gait analysis (Boening, 1977) was used to analyze their gait, and ink foot-print was applied as on of measurement methods. To find out meaningful difference between control group and treatment group, this study carried out independent sample t-test for each item by utilizing SPSS/Win 10.0, compared changes in control group's and treatment group's gait characteristics before and after exercise as percentage, and applied paired t-test to conduct before-after test in same group. Statistical significance level was ${\alpha}$ < 0.05. The results of this study were as follows. As a result of independent sample t-test for control group's and treatment group's gait characteristics after exercise, it was not statistically significant so there was no meaningful difference between two groups. However, it was statistically significant in the change rate(%) of gait characteristics, and treatment group's patients with hemiplegia had been highly changed in gait characteristics in comparison with control group. From the above-mentioned results, could find that pelvic tilt exercise using visual feedback for patients with hemiplegia was effective to improve their gait ability and it could increase the ability in comparison with general pelvic tilt exercise. In the future, studies on the effect of pelvic tilt exercise using visual feedback shall be continued based on more quantitative methods.

The goal of this study is to develop an effective control system for cardiac output regulation based upon the preload and afterload conditions without any transducers and compliance chambers in the moving actuator type total artificial heart. Motor current waveforms during the actuator movement are used as an input to the automatic control algorithm. While the current waveform analysis is performed, the stroke length and velocity of the actuator are gradually increased up to the maximum pump output level. If the diastolic filling rate of either right or left pump begins to exceed the venous return, atrial collapse will occur. Since the diastolic suction acts as a load to the motor, this critical condition can be detected by analyzing the motor current waveforms. Every time this detection criterion is met, the control algorithm decreases the stroke velocity and length of the actuator step by step just below the critical detection level. Then, they start to increase. In this way the maximum pump output under given venous return can be achieved. Additionally the control algorithm provides some degree of afterload sensitivity. If the aortic pressure is detected to exceed 120 mmHg, the stroke length and velocity decrease in the same way as the response to the preload. Left-right pump output balance is maintained by proper adjustment of the asymmetry of the stroke angle. In the mock circulatory test, this control system worked well and there was a considerable range of stroke volume difference with adjustment of the asymmetry value. Two ovine experiments were performed. It was confirmed that the required cardiac output regulation according to the venous return could be achieved with adequate detection of diastolic function, at least in the in vivo short-term survival cases[2-3 days . We conclude that this control algorithm is a promising method to regulate cardiac output in the moving actuator type total artificial heart.

A case study was conducted on the development of patient clothes designs at the Korea University Medical Center, in order to provide an example of patient clothes designs which meet the hospital identity and the demands of patients and nurses. In this study, we focused on general patient pajamas and one-piece gowns worn in the obstetrics and gynecology department. A scientific and systematic design approach consisting of the following four steps was conducted in the designing process: needs assessment, design direction establishment, design presentation, and final decision. For the first step, focused group interviews and a survey were conducted to identify the needs of the patients and nurses. According to the results of the first step, 3 fabric patterns with light, modern, rhythmic, modest and ordinary images were designed utilizing the university and hospital symbols and logotypes. Fixed forms with realistic and geometric characteristics and colors, including white, yellow, blue, grey, and pink were selected to deliver the preferred image. Each fabric pattern was made in male and female versions of the color sets. The following styles of patient clothes were made with the 3 fabric samples: general patient pajamas with a U-neckline, 9/10-length sleeves and ankle-length pants, a full-length sleeved gown with openings for breast-feeding, and a gown with a deep back-neckline and button fastening. Different sizing systems for males and females were recommended for the production.

Objective: The arm swing is associated with gait ability in healthy young adults. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of arm swing during gait in healthy young adults. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Forty-five subjects without any orthopedic or neurological injuries participated in this study. All subjects performed all three conditions according to the arm swing type as follows: first procedure (condition 1), walking as usual without arm swing constraint; second procedure (condition 2), constraint of dominant arm swing walking as usual; third procedure (condition 3), constraint of both arm swing walking as usual. Gait parameters such as gait velocity, stride length, cadence, step time, single limb support, and double limb support were measured in all arm swing conditions performed randomly, with the mean value obtained from three measurements. A rest period of 5 minutes was given to prevent repetition of each condition and learning effect. All data was analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA to notice the changes between arm swing conditions. Results: Within walking conditions, significant difference of gait velocity, stride length, cadence, and double limb support was noticed (p<0.05), except step time and single limb support. Gait velocity and stride length were significant reduced, and in cadence and double limb support were increased (p<0.05). Condition 3 had the most significant decrease of gait ability compared with condition 1 (p<0.05). Conclusions: These finding suggested that constraint arm swing conditions reduced gait ability in healthy young adults. Also, these findings can be utilized as a reference to future studies that not only pelvic, knee and ankle, but also upper limb affect to gait ability.
