Purpose: Although use of a tilt table is recommended in clinical practice, there are no published guidelines regarding pressure and inclination for tilt table use. The aim of the current study was to assess the changes of pressure on sacrum and buttock according to different inclination of the tilt table in healthy subjects. Methods: Thirty two healthy subjects participated in this study. Subjects were positioned supine on the tilt table and safety straps were secured across the chest, pelvic, and knee with sufficient tension to prevent the subjects from falling. Pressure and peak pressure of sacrum and buttock were measured using pressure mapping system with the tilt table standing at $0^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, $75^{\circ}$, and $85^{\circ}$ inclination. Results: A significant decrease in the pressure of sacrum and buttock was achieved by increasing tilt table inclination (p<0.05): $0^{\circ}{\sim}15^{\circ}$ (8.16%), $15^{\circ}{\sim}30^{\circ}$ (8.02%), $30^{\circ}{\sim}45^{\circ}$ (11.61%), $45^{\circ}{\sim}60^{\circ}$ (16.18%), $60^{\circ}{\sim}75^{\circ}$ (16%), and $75^{\circ}{\sim}85^{\circ}$ (11.48%). A significant decrease in the peak pressure was achieved by increasing tilt table inclination (p<0.05): $30^{\circ}{\sim}45^{\circ}$ (9.91%), $45^{\circ}{\sim}60^{\circ}$ (19.24%), $60^{\circ}{\sim}75^{\circ}$ (19.93%), and $75^{\circ}{\sim}85^{\circ}$ (11.48%). No significant peak pressure change was observed in $0^{\circ}{\sim}15^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}{\sim}30^{\circ}$ tilt table inclination (p>0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the pressure of sacrum and buttock were decreased according to increasing tilt table inclination in healthy subjects. Guidelines are needed in order to optimize patient safety and overall outcome for tilt table standing.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the position changes with tilt table on autonomic nervous system using heart rate variability analysis. METHODS: Fourty healthy adult males volunteered in this study. The low frequency, high frequency and low frequency/high frequency ratio and mean heart rate, standard deviation of all normal R-R intervals, root mean square of successive differences, heart rate variability index were measured at the tilt table angle of $0^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ with pulsoximeter. Data were analyzed one-way ANOVA and LSD post hoc test. RESULTS: The mean heart rate, low frequency and low frequency/high frequency ratio increased significantly at higher angle of tilt table(p<.05). The root mean square of successive differences, heart rate variability index decreased significantly at lower angle of tilt table(p<.05). The standard deviation of all normal R-R intervals, high frequency decreased at higher angle of tilt table did not show significant difference. CONCLUSION: The symphathetic activity increased significantly at higher angle of tilt table. The parasymphathetic activity decreased at higher angle of tilt table, but the difference were not significant. The autonomic adaptation, balance and heart rate variability decreased significantly at higher angle of tilt table. Based on these results, in the treatment of patients with a change in posture precedence should be carefully treated. Further studies are necessary to determine the most safety and effective methods.

Tests and theoretical studies for seismic responses of a transmission tower-line system under coupled horizontal and tilt (CHT) ground motion were conducted. The method of obtaining the tilt component from seismic motion was based on comparisons from the Fourier spectrum of uncorrected seismic waves. The collected data were then applied in testing and theoretical analysis. Taking an actual transmission tower-line system as the prototype, shaking table tests of the scale model of a single transmission tower and towers-line systems under horizontal, tilt, and CHT ground motions were carried out. Dynamic equations under CHT ground motion were also derived. The additional P-∆ effect caused by tilt motion was considered as an equivalent horizontal lateral force, and it was added into the equations as the excitation. Test results were compared with the theoretical analysis and indicated some useful conclusions. First, the shaking table test results are consistent with the theoretical analysis from improved dynamic equations and proved its correctness. Second, the tilt component of ground motion has great influence on the seismic response of the transmission tower-line system, and the additional P-∆effect caused by the foundation tilt, not only increases the seismic response of the transmission tower-line system, but also leads to a remarkable asymmetric displacement effect. Third, for the tower-line system, transmission lines under ground motion weaken the horizontal displacement and acceleration responses of transmission towers. This weakening effect of transmission lines to the main structure, however, will be decreased with consideration of tilt component.

Due to damaged vertebrae nerves, serious disease and aging, patients who have to lie down for long period of time need to exercise to maintain up-right standing position and recover their paralytic leg. This study describes a development of an intellectual tilt table which can provide a patient with rehabilitating condition. This can be possible by measuring and displaying the hee bent angle and pressure for each foot during exercise in real time. It is expected that the patient's exercising effect can increase by monitoring these two values during exercise.

This paper evaluated autonomic nervous system function in 23 patients with syncope and a positive tilt test result, 21 with a negative test result, and 19 healthy controls. Indexes of heart rate variability were measured during supine resting, immediately afte rtilt-up, standing rsting, immediately before syncope and immediately after tiltdown. There were no significant differences among the groups in any of the indexes of heart rate varability over the 24-hour holter recordings. In patients with a positive tilt result, tilting gaused a decrease in low-frequency (LF) immediately before syncope and incsrease in high-frequency (HF) bands immediately before. In patients with a negative tilt result, tilting caused a decrease in low-frequency (LF) immediately before syncope and decrease in high-frequency (HF) bands immediately before, different from positive tilt results. Our findings showed that patients with vasovagal syncope have no chronic differences from normal subjects in autonomic nervous system activity, but that these patients respond differently to the orthostatic stimulus.

본 논문은 AdaBoost(Adaptive Boosting)알고리즘을 이용한 실시간 얼굴 검출 및 추적에 패한 기법을 제안한다. 얼굴 검출은 8종류의 간단한 웨이블릿 특징 모형을 이용한다. 각각의 특징들은 $20{\times}20$의 훈련 영상에서 다양한 크기와 위치로 배치되어 초기의 특징 집합을 구성한다. 초기의 특징 집합과 훈련 영상은 AdaBoost알고리즘의 입력으로 사용된다. AdaBoost알고리즘의 기본원리는 약한 분류기를 선형적으로 결합하여 최종적으로는 계층적 구조를 갖는 강한 분류기론 생성하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 AdaBoost알고리즘에서 훈련 영상과 초기의 특징 집합 간에 이루어지는 반복적 계산량을 줄이기 위해 SAT(Summed-Area Table) 기법을 이용하였다. 얼굴 추적은 Pan-Tilt카메라를 통해 동적으로 가시 영역을 확장해 가면서 검출된 영역의 위치와 크기정보를 이용하여 실시간으로 이루어진다. 검출된 얼굴 영역의 중심을 전체 영상의 중심으로 이동하는 방법을 사용하였다. 실험결과 92.5%의 얼굴 검출율과 평균 12프레임의 얼굴 추적속도를 얻었다.

Shear properties of plastic bottle film/plastic bottle film and plastic bottle film/granitic soil which were evaluated from static friction tests. The monotonic shear experiments were performed by using an tilt table apparatus and large direct shear device. The test results showed that the friction angle of each interface and the interface depended on the amount of normal stress, the type of the interface used. Therefore, the testing method should be determined carefully by considering the type of loads and normal stress expected in the field with using the materials installed in the site.

Background: Although orthostatic hypotension (OH) and cognitive impairment (CI) are common non- motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), the relationship between OH and CI remains to be clarified. This study was aimed to investigate the relationship between OH and CI in PD. Methods: We recruited 192 patients who were diagnosed as PD based on the UK Brain Bank diagnostic criteria. The Hoehn & Yahr stages were ranged I to III and patients underwent extensive clinical evaluation, including brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for cerebral white matter hyperintensity (WMH), tilt table test, the Korean version of Montreal Cognitive Assessments and the Korean version of Mini-Mental Status Examination in one month from the first clinic visit. The participants were divided into two groups according to the presence of OH (OH+ vs. OH-) and cognitive function (cognitive normal, CN vs. CI), respectively. Results: Significant relationship between OH and cognitive function (p=0.04) was found in our patients. The patients with OH+ had higher risk of CI by 2.6 times than that of OH- patients. Maximum heart rate change during tilt table test was correlated with cognitive function and white matter changes, whereas blood pressure change during tilt table test showed no correlation with those parameters. Conclusions: There was significant relationship between OH and CI in PD. Therefore, PD patients with either symptom may need periodic evaluation and proper management for OH and cognitive functions.
