본 실험은 Hempa 처리가 쌀바구미 (Sitophilus oryzae L.)에 미치는 생물학적 영향과 부분불임성의 유전성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 우화후 1-3일된 숫컷을 $0.0625\%,\;0.125\%,\;0.25\%,$ 및 $0.5\%$의 Hempa로 처리된 소맥에서 2일간 섭식처리하여 당대의 치사율, 수명 및 산란수에 미치는 영향을 조사하고 $F_l,\;F_2,\;BC_1,\;F_3\;BC_2$ 세대에 미치는 처리효과를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. (1) 처리웅충의 평균수명은 대조구에 비하여 차가 없었으며 당대 치사율도 $0.5\%$ 처리시 보정 치사율은 $7.07\%$로 유의차가 없었다. (2) 처리웅충과 교배된 정상 자충의 3일간 평균 산란수는 무처리구 3.60에 비하며 $0.0625\%,\;0.125\%,\;0.25\%,\;0.5\%$구에서 각각 3.78, 4.05, 3.75 및 3.61개로 유의차가 없었으며 비교배자충 구에서는 1.91로 현저한 산란수의 감소를 보였다. (3) 처리웅충과 무처리자충의 교배에서 얻은 $F_l$대의 처리후 27일간 총평균 부화율은 대조구 $86.82\%$에 대하여 $0.0625\%,\;0.125\%,\;0.25\%,\;0.5\%$구에서 각각 $64.77\%,\;53.47\%,\;40.33\%,\;24.78\%$로 처리농도의 증가에 따라 부화율이 감소되었다. (4) 처리후 산란 시기별로 산하된 란의 부화율은 모든 처리구에서 처리후 10-12일까지는 부화율이 감소하다가 그후 다시 증가하는 회복현상을 보였다. (5) 고농도 처리구인 $0.5\%$구에서는 처리후 1-3일에 산하된 란의 부화율이 낮았고 10-12일 이후에도 회복의 속도가 느렸다. 이와같은 현상은 배우자 형성 과정에서 영향을 받는 시기의 범위가 넓기 때문이라고 생각되었다. (6) 유충기 치사율은 대조구 $6.55\%$에 비하여 $0.0635\%,\;0.125\%,\;0.25\%,\;0.5\%$구에서 각각 $17.89\%,\;27.40\%,\;35.43\%,\;52.17\%$로 처리농도의 증가에 따라 치사율의 증가를 보였다. (7) 난기 치사율과 유충기 치사율의 관계는 $0.125,\;0.25,\;0.5\%$ 처리구에서 상관계수가 각각 r=+0.89, +0.83 및 +0.85로 난기 치사와 유충기 치사는 동일형의 영향임을 알 수 있었다. (8) 치사인자 발현에 대한 난기와 유충기의 감수성은 각각 $SC_{50}=0.133\%$ 및 $LC_{50}=0.565\%$초 난기가 유충기보다 감수성이 쳤다. 또한 미우화에 미치는 영향은 이들 둘의 공동작용의 결과임으로 $LC_{50}=0.09\%$로 더욱 감수성이 컸다. (9) $F_1$대의 우화 성충은 $0.125\%,\;0.25\%\;,\;0.5\%$ 처리구에서 암컷대 숫컷의 비율이 100 : 125, 100 : 108 및 100 : 124로 숫컷의 출현빈도가 높은 듯 하였으나 우화 개체수가 적은 관계로 통계적인 유의성은 없었다. (10) $P_1$이 처리후 16-18일에 산하한 난에서 우화한 $F_l$ 웅충을 무처리 자충과 교배하였을 때 $0.0625\%$구에서는 $13.88\%,\;0.125\%$ 구에서는 $33.04\%$의 난기 치사율을 나타내었고 $F_2$도 각각 $31.01\%$와 $38.73\%$의 치사율을 나타내고 있어 염색체 이상의 결과라고 생각되었다. (11) $F_2$ 세대의 유충기 치사율은 자충 퇴교배구가 웅충 퇴교배구 보다 높았고 $F_l$ 형매교배에서 가장 높았다. (12) $F_2$ 및 $BC_1$ 세대의 유충발육은 산난후 제17일에 1-2영충이 대조구 $10.98\%$에 비해 자충 퇴교배구, 웅충 퇴교배구 및 $F_2$구에서 각각 $7.26\%,\;32.98\%$ 및 $15.73\%$로 분화의 지연작용을 나타내는 듯하였다. (13) $F_3$ 세대에서도 난기 및 유충기 치사율이 형매교배구가 퇴교배구 보다 높았다. 이는 열성치사인자가 영향한 때문이라고 생각한다. (14) Hempa 처리에 의하여 유기된 불임은 주로 전좌나 결실과 같은 염색체 이상로 유기되는 우성치사돌연변이에 기인된 것이라고 생각되었으며 이들 인자의 영향은 처리 후 제3세대에까지 전달됨을 알 수 있었다.

PET/CT 기기의 설치가 증가함에 따라 PET/CT 검사 시감쇄 보정을 위한 CT 검사 역시 증가하여 검사 과정에서 피폭 선량이 증가 되고 있어 의료 피폭의 저감 대책을 포함한 방사선 안전 관리의 체계적인 구축이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 PET/CT 검사에서의 환자 선량 데이터베이스를 구축하여 환자 선량 저감을 위한 초석을 세우기 위해 CT 선량 측정 프로그램을 사용하여 CT를 사용한 투과 스캔 시 환자가 받는 CT의 예측 유효 선량을 비교 분석하였다. BIO40, BIO16, DSTe8 에서 $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT 검사를 시행한 180명을 대상으로 하였다. 각 기기 별로 남, 여 30명씩 선량의 평균을 분석하였다. 자동 노출 제어 시스템으로 선량 조절 시 가장 큰 영향을 줄 수 있는 환자의 체중 별로 50 kg미만, 50-60 kg 미만, 60 kg 이상 세 집단으로 나누어 선량의 평균을 분석하였다. CT-Expo v1.7과 ImPACT v1.0을 사용하여 선량 측정을 한 값을 비교 분석하고 체중과 유효 선량의 상관관계를 분석하였다. BIO40에서 검사한 환자의 유효 선량을 CT-Expo v1.7과 ImPACT v1.0을 사용하여 예측하였을 때, 남자 환자 30명은 각각 $6.46{\pm}1.18$ mSv, $6.54{\pm}1.21$ mSv, 여자 환자 30명은 각각 $6.29{\pm}0.97$ mSv, $5.87{\pm}1.09$ mSv 이었다. BIO16 에서 검사한 환자의 유효 선량은 남자 환자 30명은 각각 $9.36{\pm}1.96$ mSv, $8.36{\pm}1.69$ mSv 여자 환자 30명은 각각 $10.02{\pm}2.42$ mSv, $8.43{\pm}1.89$ mSv 이었다. DSTe8에서 검사한 환자의 유효 선량은 남자 환자 30명은 각각 $9.36{\pm}1.96$ mSv, $9.74{\pm}2.55$ mSv, 여자 환자 30명은 각각 $9.05{\pm}2.27$ mSv, $9.19{\pm}2.29$ mSv 이었다. 각 기기에서 검사를 시행한 환자의 체중에 따른 환자의 선량을 비교하기 위해, BIO40에서 검사를 시행한 환자를 대상으로 하여 50 kg 미만, 50~60 kg 미만, 60 kg 이상으로 체중별로 세 개의 집단으로 나누어 환자 선량을 측정하였다. CT-expo v1.7로 측정을 하였을 때 각각 $6.05{\pm}1.77$ mSv, $6.18{\pm}1.05$ mSv, $6.80{\pm}1.06$ mSv이었고 ImPACT v1.0으로 측정했을 때 각각 $5.06{\pm}1.46$ mSv, $5.72{\pm}0.86$ mSv, $6.42{\pm}0.96$ mSv이었다. BIO16에서 검사를 시행한 환자를 대상으로 하여 50 kg 미만, 50-60 kg 미만, 60 kg 이상으로 체중 별로 나누어 환자 선량을 측정하였다. CT-Expo v1.7로 측정을 하였을 때 각각 $7.74{\pm}0.66$ mSv, $8.58{\pm}0.93$ mSv, $10.88{\pm}1.32$ mSv이었고 ImPACT v1.0으로 측정했을 때 각각 $6.60{\pm}0.54$ mSv, $7.45{\pm}0.69$ mSv, $9.43{\pm}1.11$ mSv이었다. DSTe8에서 검사를 시행한 환자를 대상으로 하여 50 kg 미만, 50-60 kg 미만, 60kg 이상으로 체중 별로 나누어 환자 선량을 예측하였다. CT-Expo v1.7로 측정했을 때 각각 $5.03{\pm}0.95$ mSv, $8.25{\pm}1.66$ mSv, $10.33{\pm}1.68$ mSv 이었고 ImPACT v1.0으로 측정했을 때 각각 $5.20{\pm}1.01$ mSv, $8.51{\pm}1.53$ mSv, $10.9{\pm}1.87$ mSv이었다. 체중과 유효 선량의 상관관계를 분석하였을 때 CT-Expo v1.7과 ImPACT v1.0에서 Pearson 정률 상관계수가 각각 0.743, 0.692으로 매우 강한 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 피폭 선량의 예측이 필요할 경우 이와 같은 상용화된 선량 평가 프로그램을 사용하면 Phantom 연구를 시행하지 않더라도 유효 선량의 예측 및 평가가 가능하고, CT 선량 관리를 위한 기초 자료를 수집하는데 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

RFID(Radio Frequency Identification)시스템은 하나의 RFDI리더, 다수의 RFID태그 장치들로 이루어진 비접촉방식의 근거리 무선 인식 기술이다. RFID태그는 자체적인 연산 수행이 가능한 능동형 태그와 이에 비해 성능은 떨어지지만 저렴한 가격으로 물류 유통에 적합한 수동형 태그로 나눌 수 있다. 데이터 처리 장치는 리더와 연결되어 리더가 전송받은 정보를 처리한다. RFID 시스템은 무선주파수를 이용해 다수의 태그를 빠른 시간에 인식할 수 있다. RFID시스템은 유통, 물류, 운송, 물품관리, 출입 통제, 금융 등 다양한 분야에서 응용되고 있다. 하지만 RFID시스템을 더욱 확산시키기 위해서는 가격, 크기, 전력소모, 보안 등 해결할 문제가 많다. 그 문제들 중에서 본 논문에서는 다수의 수동형 태그를 인식할 때 발생하는 충돌 문제를 해결하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. RFID 시스템에서 다수의 태그를 인식하기 위한 충돌 방지 기법에는 확률적인 방식과 결정적인 방식 그리고 이를 혼합한 하이브리드 방식이 있다. 본 논문에서는 우선 기존에 있던 확률적 방식의 충돌방지기법인 알로하 기반 프로토콜과 결정적 방식의 충돌방지기법인 트리 기반 프로토콜에 대해 소개한다. 알로하 기반 프로토콜은 시간을 슬롯 단위로 나누고 태그들이 각자 임의로 슬롯을 선택하여 자신의 ID를 전송하는 방식이다. 하지만 알로하 기반 프로토콜은 태그가 슬롯을 선택하는 것이 확률적이기 때문에 모든 태그를 인식하는 것을 보장하지 못한다. 반면, 트리 기반의 프로토콜은 리더의 전송 범위 내에 있는 모든 태그를 인식하는 것을 보장한다. 트리 기반의 프로토콜은 리더가 태그에게 질의 하면 태그가 리더에게 응답하는 방식으로 태그를 인식한다. 리더가 질의 할 때, 두 개 이상의 태그가 응답 한다면 충돌이라고 한다. 충돌이 발생하면 리더는 새로운 질의를 만들어 태그에게 전송한다. 즉, 충돌이 자주 발생하면 새로운 질의를 자주 생성해야하기 때문에 속도가 저하된다. 그렇기 때문에 다수의 태그를 빠르게 인식하기 위해서는 충돌을 줄일 수 있는 효율적인 알고리즘이 필요하다. 모든 RFID태그는 96비트의 EPC(Electronic Product Code)의 태그ID를 가진다. 이렇게 제작된 다수의 태그들은 회사 또는 제조업체에 따라 동일한 프리픽스를 가진 유사한 태그ID를 가지게 된다. 이 경우 쿼리 트리 프로토콜을 이용하여 다수의 태그를 인식 하는 경우 충돌이 자주 일어나게 된다. 그 결과 질의-응답 수는 증가하고 유휴 노드가 발생하여 식별 효율 및 속도에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 충돌 트리 프로토콜과 M-ary 쿼리 트리 프로토콜이 제안되었다. 하지만 충돌 트리 프로토콜은 쿼리 트리 프로토콜과 마찬가지로 한번에 1비트씩 밖에 인식을 못한다는 단점이 있다. 그리고 유사한 태그ID들이 다수 존재할 경우, M-ary 쿼리 트리 프로토콜을 이용해 인식 하면, 불필요한 질의-응답이 증가한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 M-ary 쿼리 트리 프로토콜의 매핑 함수를 이용한 m-비트 인식, 맨체스터 코딩을 이용한 태그 ID의 충돌정보, M-ary 쿼리 트리의 깊이를 하나 감소시킬 수 있는 예측 기법을 이용하여 성능을 향상시킨 적응형 M-ary 쿼리트리 프로토콜을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 트리기반의 프로토콜과 제안하는 기법을 동일한 조건으로 실험하여 비교 분석 하였다. 그 결과 제안하는 기법은 식별시간, 식별효율 등에서 다른 기법들보다 성능이 우수하다.

허규는 80~90년대 창극 연출을 담당하며 왕성한 활동을 전개한 바 있다. 그는 전승 5가 뿐만 아니라 실전 판소리를 창극화 하였으며, 창작 창극 작품도 다수 무대에 선보였다. 특히 '완판 창극'이라는 이름으로 1982년 <흥보전>을 무대에 올린 후 1985년 <적벽가>를 공연함으로써 전승 5가의 창극화 작업을 완결지은 것은 그가 남긴 큰 업적 가운데 하나이다. 허규는 주체적 민족문화의 정립과 한국 전통연희의 창조적 계승 문제에 많은 관심을 기울였던 실천적인 연극인이다. 그는 창극을 한국의 대표적인 공연예술로 정립하고자 노력했다. 창극 작품은 그 연원에 따라, (1)전승 5가의 창극화 (2)실전 7가의 창극화 (3)창작 창극으로 세분해 볼 수 있다. 허규가 연출한 작품에는 이 3가지 유형이 모두 포함되어 있다. 그 가운데 전승 5가를 창극화한 작품이 가장 큰 비중을 차지하고 있다. 허규가 시도한 '완판창극'은 한국의 전통유산 가운데 빼어난 예술적 성과를 거둔 요소들을 집대성하여 무대에 올림으로써, 창극을 한국의 대표적인 공연예술로 정립해 보고자한 것이다. '완판창극'에 나타난 특징은 다음 네 가지로 정리할 수 있다. (1) 전통을 중시하는 연출 태도, (2) 전통연희 요소의 적극적 수용, (3) 격조와 윤리의식의 중시, (4) 해학의 강조와 보조인물의 적극적 활용이 그것이다. 허규가 시도한 '완판창극'은 창극이 성취할 수 있는 예술적 수준의 한 정점을 보여주는 것이다. 판소리 유산을 망라하고 나아가 전통연희를 적극적으로 수용하여, 창극을 한국의 대표적인 공연예술로 정립해 보고자 했던 것이다. 허규는 '완판창극'에서 판소리의 진정성을 그대로 살리려고 노력했으며, 처음부터 끝까지 한 대목도 빠뜨리지 않고 장면화 하려고 했다. '완판창극'의 공연 시간이 4~5시간이나 소요되었다는 것이 그 점을 잘 보여준다. 허규가 완판창극에서 거둔 성과는 이후 창극에 상당한 영향을 끼친 것으로 보인다. 1990년대에 시도된 '완판장막창극'도 그 모태는 허규의 '완판창극'에 두고 있다. 창본을 종합해 내고 판소리의 좋은 점을 모두 보여주고자 하는 의도가 일치한다는 점에서 특히 그러하다. 그렇지만 90년대 '완판장막창극'은 대형 무대화를 지향했으며 화려한 무대장치와 의상 그리고 버라이어티한 요소를 부각시켰다는 점에서 '완판창극'과 대비된다. 허규의 완판창극이 끼친 중요한 영향 가운데 하나는 판소리의 '열린 형식'을 창극의 공연 문법으로 적극 활용했다는 점이다. 허규는 극의 전개 과정에서 필요하다고 판단되면 전통연희의 요소를 적극적으로 수용하여, 극적 표현 영역을 확장하고 작품의 완성도를 높이고자 했다. 이러한 그의 시도는 창극 극작술의 한 방식으로 인식되어, 이후 창극연출에도 지속적으로 영향을 미치고 있다. 요즘 창극은 어떻게 하면 청중들의 호응을 얻을 수 있을까에 관심을 집중하기 때문에, '감동받는 창극' 보다는 '재미있는 창극'을 만드는 일이 중요하다고 생각하는 듯하다. 공연 시간도 최대 2시간을 넘지 않으려고 하며, 관현악 반주를 중시하는 경향을 보여준다. 이런 관점에서는 허규가 '완판창극'을 통해 구현하고자 했던 창극의 지향점은 극복의 대상으로 인식되고 있는 것으로 보인다.

현재 육상에서는 유무선 통신의 발전으로 다양한 IT 서비스를 제공받고 있다. 이러한 변화는 육상을 넘어서서 해상에서 항해 중인 선박에서도 다양한 IT 서비스가 제공되어야 하며 육상에서 이용하는 것과 마찬가지로 양방향 디지털 데이터 전송, Web, App 등과 같은 다양한 IT 서비스들의 제공에 대한 요구가 증가될 것으로 예상하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 초고속 정보통신망은 AP(Access Point)와 기지국과 같은 고정된 기반 구조를 바탕으로 네트워크를 구성하는 지상에서는 쉽게 사용할 수 있는 반면 해상에서는 고정된 기반 구조를 이용하여 네트워크를 구성할 수 없다. 그래서 전송 거리가 긴 라디오 통신망 기반의 음성 위주의 통신 서비스를 사용하고 있다. 이러한 라디오 통신망은 낮은 전송 속도로 인해 매우 기본적인 정보만을 제공할 수 있었으며, 효율적인 서비스 제공에 어려움이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 디지털 데이터 상호교환을 위한 추가적인 주파수가 할당되었으며 이 주파수를 사용하여 활용할 수 있는 선박 애드 혹 네트워크인 SANET(ship ad-hoc network)이 제안되었다. SANET은 높은 설치비용과 사용료의 위성 통신을 대신하여 해상에서 IP 기반으로 선박에 다양한 IT 서비스를 제공할 수 있도록 개발되었다. SANET에서는 육상 기지국과 선박의 연결성이 중요하다. 이러한 연결성을 갖기 위해서는 선박은 자신의 IP 주소를 할당 받아 네트워크의 구성원이 되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 선박 스스로 자신의 IP 주소를 할당 받을 수 있는 SANET-CC(Ship Ad-hoc Network-Cell Connection) 프로토콜을 제안한다. SANET-CC는 중복되지 않는 다수의 IP 주소들을 육상기지국에서 선박들에 이어지는 트리 형태로 네트워크 전반에 전파한다. 선박은 IP 주소를 할당할 수 있는 육상 기지국 또는 나누어진 구역의 M-Ship(Mother Ship)들과 간단한 요청(Request) 및 응답(Response) 메시지 교환을 통해 자신의 IP 주소를 할당한다. 따라서 SANET-CC는 IP 충돌 방지(Duplicate Address Detection) 과정과 선박의 이동에 의해 발생하는 네트워크의 분리나 통합에 따른 처리 과정을 완전히 배제할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 SANET-CC의 SANET 적용가능성을 검증하기 위해서 다양한 조건의 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며 기존 연구와 비교 분석을 진행하였다.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results.

Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70${\pm}$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32${\pm}$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500,550,570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500,550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100,300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique.

The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli.

The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR.

A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats.

Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3,000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.
