본 논문은 자동차용 타이어 공기압 모니터링 시스템(TPMS)의 핵심 부품인 가속도센서에 관한 연구이다. 일반적으로 압저항형 가속도센서는 정전용량형 가속도센서에 비하여 제조 비용이 적고 출력 특성이 선형적이며 주변 잡음에 면역성이 강한 장점을 갖는다. 그래서 TPMS용으로 압저항형을 선택하였고, ANSYS 프로그램을 이용하여 3가지 타입의 구조를 설계하여 공진주파수 특성을 비교하여 가장 안정적인 구조인 질량체 가장자리의 가운데에 있는 4개의 빔에 의하여 지지되는 브릿지 타입의 실리콘압저항형 가속도센서를 선택하였다. 그리고 센서 크기를 고려하여 빔의 길이는 $200{\mu}m$로 정하였으며, 빔 길이에 따른 최대응력과 최대변위를 시뮬레이션하여 센서를 설계하였다. TPMS용 4 빔 실리콘 미세 압저항형 가속도센서의 크기는 $3.0mm{\times}3.0mm{\times}0.4mm$의 크기로 제작 되었다. 휠 각도에 따른 출력 특성과 온도 특성을 측정하여 센서의 특성을 분석 하였다. 그 결과 가속도센서의 옵셋 전압은 43.2 mV 이고 감도는 $42.5{\mu}V/V/g$ 이다. 센서의 특징으로 내충격성은 1500 g 이고, 측정 범위는 0 ~ 60 g, 사용온도는 $-40^{\circ}C{\sim}125^{\circ}C$ 를 갖는다.

동일 전극 로딩 조건(${\sim}15mg\;cm^{-2}$)에서 면적당 용량($mAh\;cm^{-2}$)을 극대화하기 위해, 고분자 바인더의 함량을 4, 2, 1 wt%로 줄인 $LiNi_{0.5}Co_{0.2}Mn_{0.3}O_2$ 전극을 제조하였다. 바인더 함량이 1 wt%로 낮춘 경우, 압연 후 펀칭 과정에서 전극 코팅층이 부분적으로 박리되는 문제가 발생하여 추가 분석은 진행되지 않았다. 전극 내 바인더 함량을 4 wt%에서 2 wt%로 줄이면, 계면 접착력은 0.4846에서 $0.2627kN\;m^{-1}$로 약 46% 감소하고, 전극 코팅층의 강도도 3.847에서 2.013 MPa로 약 48%가 떨어졌다. 그러나, 두 전극을 리튬 전극과 반쪽 전지로 구성하여 전기화학적 특성을 살펴보면, 초기 방전 용량과 충방전 효율은 유사하였다. 하지만, 단기 수명 평가에서 2 wt% 바인더 전극은 수명 특성이 떨어질 뿐만 아니라, 전지를 분해하는 과정에서 전극 코팅층이 집전체에서 박리되는 현상이 관찰되었다. 반면, 4 wt% 바인더 전극은 높은 전극 로딩조건에서도 전극 코팅층과 집전체 계면이 잘 유지되고 있음이 확인되었다.

지금까지 국내에서 적용된 내공변위 계측은 수동식 시스템 혹은 계측 정밀도가 떨어지는 방법들로서 운영중인 터널에 적용하는데 한계가 있는 것으로 평가되어 최근 국내에 도입되고 있는 자동화 내공변위 계측 시스템들을 비교 분석하고 앞으로 운영중인 지하공간과 터널에의 적용성에 대해 검토하였다. 1. 광섬유 센서를 이용한 Sofo는 국내에서 터널 라이닝의 응력 측정에는 활용된 바가 있으나 아직 터널의 내공변위와 지중 변위의 측정에 적용된 실적이 없으며 앞으로 계측 자료의 신뢰도 및 시스템의 경제성 등에 대한 충분한 검토가 요구되고 있다. 2. 각도센서와 변위센서를 이용한 TPMS는 현재 국내에서 운영중인 터널인 천안-논산간 고속도로 차령터널과 지하철 터널 및 공동구 등에서 적용중이다. 3. BCS는 두 개의 각도 센서를 한 조로 이용하는 점이 TPMS와 다른 점으로서 거의 TPMS와 같은 특성을 지니고 있다. 앞으로 센서의 정밀도가 개선될 필요가 있으며 현장에서 아주 정밀한 교류 입력 전위차를 취득하는 데는 어려움도 있어 자동화 계측 가능여부가 검증되어야 할 것으로 본다. 앞으로 터널 시공 현장에 자동계측 시스템의 검증을 위하여 TPMS 및 BCS 등을 설치 및 운영하고 기술적인 문제를 보완함으로써 이를 시공중인 주계측 단면과 운영중인 터널에 적용하여야 할 것으로 본다.

The dental implant materials required good mechanical properties, such as fatigue strength, combined with a high resistance to corrosion. For increasing fatigue resistance and delaying onset of stress corrosion cracking, shot peening has been used for > 50 years to extend service life of metal components. However, there is no information on the electrochemical behavior of shot peened and hydroxyapatite(HA) coated Ti-6Al-4V alloys. To increase fatigue strength, good corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility, the electrochemical characteristics of Ti/TiN/HA coated and shot peened Ti-6Al-4V alloys by electron beam physical vapor deposition(EB-PVD) have been researched by various electrochemical method in 0.9%NaCl. Ti-6Al-4V alloys were prepared under the condition of hydrogen and vacuum arc furnace. The produced materials were quenched at 1000$^{\circ}C$ under high purity dried Ar atmosphere and were hold at 500$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs to achieve the fatigue strength(1140㎫) of materials. Ti-6Al-4V alloys were prepared under the condition of hydrogen and vacuum arc furnace. Shot peening(SP) and sand blasting treatment was carried out for 1, 5, and 10min. On the surface of Ti-6Al-4V alloys using the steel balls of 0.5mm and alumina sand of 40$\mu\textrm{m}$ size. Ti/TiN/HA multilayer coatings were carried out by using electron-beam deposition method(EB-PVD) as shown Fig. 1. Bulk Ti, powder TiN and hydroxyapatite were used as the source of the deposition materials. Electrons were accelerated by high voltage of 4.2kV with 80 - 120mA on the deposition materials at 350$^{\circ}C$ in 2.0 X 10-6 torr vacuum. Ti/TiN/HA multilayer coated surfaces and layers were investigated by SEM and XRD. A saturated calomel electrode as a reference electrode, and high density carbon electrode as a counter electrode, were set according to ASTM GS-87. The potentials were controlled at a scan rate of 100 mV/min. by a potentiostat (EG&G Co.273A) connected to a computer system. Electrochemical tests were used to investigate the electrochemical characteristics of Ti/TiN/HA coated and shot peened materials in 0.9% NaCl solution at 36.5$^{\circ}C$. After each electrochemical measurement, the corrosion surface of each sample was investigated by SEM.

In this paper, PBTI characteristics of NMOSFETs with La incorporated HfSiON and HfON are compared in detail. The charge trapping model shows that threshold voltage shift (${\Delta}V_{\mathrm{T}}$) of NMOSFETs with HfLaON is greater than that of HfLaSiON. PBTI lifetime of HfLaSiON is also greater than that of HfLaON by about 2~3 orders of magnitude. Therefore, high charge trapping rate of HfLaON can be explained by higher trap density than HfLaSiON. The different de-trapping behavior under recovery stress can be explained by the stable energy for U-trap model, which is related to trap energy level at zero electric field in high-k dielectric. The trap energy level of two devices at zero electric field, which is extracted using Frenkel-poole emission model, is 1,658 eV for HfLaSiON and 1,730 eV for HfLaON, respectively. Moreover, the optical phonon energy of HfLaON extracted from the thermally activated gate current is greater than that of HfLaSiON.

전기화학적 미소수정진동자저울은 전극표면에서 발생하는 나노그램 수준의 질량변화를 실시간 측정할 수 있는 장비이다. 역압전효과를 가진 수정진동자 양면에 형성된 금속전극에 교대로 전계를 가하면 진동자의 두께에 따라 특정 공진주파수를 나타낸다. 공진주파수는 전극표면에서 발생하는 질량변화에 반응하며, 전극표면의 금속이 용해될 때는 증가하고 석출될 때는 반대로 감소한다. 공진주파수와 질량변화의 상관관계는 Sauerbrey 식으로 나타내고 이를 이용하여 금속의 침출반응때 발생하는 질량변화를 실시간으로 측정할 수 있다. 특히 용해 후 침출액에서 침전, 휘발, 기타 화합물 형성 등 부반응으로 실험 후 발광분광분석이나 원자흡광분석 등이 용이하지 않은 금속의 침출 반응기구 및 속도 연구에 매우 효과적이다. 그러나 수정진동자의 공진주파수는 질량변화 외에도 용액의 점도, 수압, 온도, 스트레스, 그리고 표면거칠기 등에도 영향을 받으므로 실험 시 이들 영향에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 전기화학적 미소수정진동자저울의 응용 예로서 염소를 이용한 백금의 침출 시 용해속도를 실시간 측정하고 이로부터 활성화에너지를 구하는 일련의 과정을 소개하였다. 침출에 사용된 백금시료는 수정진동자 양면에 형성된 1000 Å두께의 백금전극 중 침출액에 노출된 한쪽 면을 활용하였으며, 전해생성된 염소를 염산 침출액에 주입하여 침출 시 용존 염소농도를 조절하였다. 실험결과로부터 염소에 의한 백금의 용해반응은 활성화에너지가 83.5 kJ/mol로 화학반응율속임을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 인체 골종양에서 유래한 G292세포를 이용하여 압력으로 세포막을 신장(stretch)시켰을 때 $K^+$통로의 전기적 찰성 변화를 연구하였다. 배양된 세포에서 유골전극을 이용하여 세포막 내측이 유리전극의 외부로 향하도록 inside-out patch를 얻어 단일이온통로전류를 막전압고정법 (patch clamp recording)으로 기록하였다. G292세포의 세포막 내외에 140 mM KCl 용액이 있는 상태에서 유리전극내 전압을 -80 mV로 고정했을 때 전도성이 $270\pm27\;pS,\;113\pm12\;pS,\;48\pm8\;pS$인 3가지 종류의 $K^+$통로를 관찰하였다. 전도성이 낮은 48 pS의 $K^+$통로는 모든 세포막에서 관찰하였으며 270 pS 및 113 pS의 $K^+$ 통로는 일부 세포에서만 관찰하였다. 48 pS의 $K^+$통로는 세포막 외측에 음의 전압을 가하면 활성화되고 양의 전압을 가하면 활성화되지 않는 외향성 정류특성을 보였다. 세포막 외측에 음압을 가하면 48 pS의 $K^+$통로는 활성화되었으며 이온 통로가 열리는 확률($P_{open}$)이 가하는 압력에 비례하여 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 G292세포주에 3가지 종류의 $K^+$통로가 존재하며 전도성이 낮은 48 pS의 $K^+$통로만이 세포막 신장에 의하여 직접적으로 활성화되는 특성을 보였다. 이러한 $K^+$ 통로의 활성화는 세포가 기계적 자극을 받아 세포막이 신장되면 세포막전압을 과분극시키며 조골세포에서 기계적 감수기로서의 기능을 수행하여 조골세포의 골개조에 관여할 것으로 추측된다.순에서는 수술 후 잉여 연조직에 의한 두께의 증가가 나타나고 상순에서는 구륜근에 의한 장력에 의해 상순의 두께가 감소하였다가 보정 기간 후 새로운 악골 위치로 적응하는 것으로 생각된다.다. 5. II급고무줄과 수직고무줄 적용 시를 비교해 보면 수직고무줄 장착시 전치부 치근막에 인장력이 더 넓게, 그 크기는 더 작게 나타났다. 반면에 구치부 치근막에 나타나는 응력의 분포와 크기는 별 차이를 보이지 않았다. 5. 전치부 치근막 인장부위에서 인장력은 견치에서 제일 컸다.상적 제1대구치간 치열궁 폭경의 예측이 1 mm의 오차한계 이내로 예측된 경우는 Cha 들의 예측식이 $40\%$ 로 가장 높으며, Pont와 Schmuth의 예측식은 각각 $29\%$와 $13\%$ 이었다. 이상의 결과는 상악 절치의 근원심 폭경의 합으로부터 이상적 제1소구치간 치열궁 폭경 및 제1대구치간 치열궁 폭경을 예측하는 것은 임상적 신뢰성이 낮을 것임을 시사한다.교정력을 효과적으로 전체 치열로 전달할 수 있는 독특한 기계적 특성을 지니고 있는 것으로 생각된다..7. 구순 반흔 제거수술시기로는 4-6세군 ($27.5\%$), 6-8세군 ($19.6\%$), 2-4세군 ($13.7\%$)이 $60\%$이상을 차지하여 초등학교 취학 전에 구순의 반흔을 제거하려 함을 알 수 있었다. 8. 비변형 교정수술시기로는 0-2세군 ($7.1\%$), 2-4세군 ($14.3\%$), 4-6세군 ($21.4\%$), 6-8세군 ($14.3\%$)으로 초등학교 취학이전이 $57.1\%$로서 최근의 조기 치료경향을 반영하는 것으로 보인다.

아까시나무의 목질부와 현사시나무, 물푸레나무 및 느릅나무의 수피를 채취하여 아세톤-물 혼합용액(7:3, v/v) 으로 추출한 후 hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate 및 수용성으로 분획하고 동결건조하여 분말로 조제한 후 메탄올-물 등의 용리용매로 Sephadex LH-20 칼럼에서 크로마토그래피를 수행하였다. 물푸레나무에서는 aesculitin 및 그 파생물인 fraxetin 등 다량의 쿠마린 화합물과 에스테르화합물을 단리하였으며, 느릅나무로부터 C-7에 xylopyranose와 apiofuranose와 같은 5탄당이 결합된(+)-catechin 배당체 화합물과 procyanidn B-3를 단리하였다. 아까시나무에서는 leucorobinetinidin의 C-4에 ethoxyl 기가 결합된 flavan 유도체 화합물과 robinetin 등의 flavanonol 화합물을 단리하였다. 현사시나무에서는 taxifolin 등의 후라보노이드 화합물과 배당체인 sakuranetin-5-O-glucopyranoside를 단리하였으며 살리신 유도체인 salireposide 등을 단리하였다. 내후성 시험에서는 목재블록에 부후균을 접종하여 배양한 후 중량감소를 측정하는 방법과 목분-agar 배지에 부후균을 접종한 후 균사의 생장 직경을 측정하는 방법을 적용하였다. 아까시나무가 다른 시룓르보다 우수한 활성을 나타내었으며 특히 메탄올 추출머리를 하지 않은 시료가 처리한 시료보다 좋은 균사생장 저해효과를 나타냈다. 항산화 활성 시험에서는 물푸레나무의 에틸아세테이트 분획이 가장 높은 활성을 보였으며, 아까시나무의 에틸아세테이트 분획도 비교적 높은 효과를 나타내었고, 이 두 분획으로부터 단리된 주요 단리화합물에 대해서는 물푸레나무의 aesculetin이 가장 높았으며 아까시나무의 robinetinidin도 비교적 좋은 효과를 나타냈다.)나 틈새시장(niche market) 마케팅 등에 적용 가능하리라 여겨진다.된다.다.산물로 판단되었다.징하며 WLWQ에 적용되는 몇 가지 제약을 관찰하고 이를 일반적인 언어원리로 설명한다. 첫째, XP는 주어로만 해석되는데 그 이유는 XP가 목적어 혹은 부가어 등 다른 기능을 할 경우 생략 부위가 생략의 복원 가능선 원리 (the deletion-up-to recoverability principle)를 위배하기 때문이다. 둘째, WLWQ가 내용 의문문으로만 해석되는데 그 이유는 양의 공리(the maxim of quantity: Grice 1975) 때문이다. 평서문으로 해석될 경우 WP에 들어갈 부분이 XP의 자질의 부분집합에 불과하므로 명제가 아무런 정보제공을 하지 못한다. 반면 의문문 자체는 정보제공을 추구하지 않으므로 앞에서 언급한 양의 공리로부터 자유롭다. 셋째, WLWQ의 XP는 주제어 표지 ‘는/-은’을 취하나 주어표지 ‘가/-이’는 취하지 못한다(XP-는/-은 vs. XP-가/-이). 이는 IP내부 에 비공범주의 존재 여부에 따라 C의 음운형태(PF)가 시성이 정해진다는 가설로 설명하고자 했다.

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. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. 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.
