A power-efficient neuromodulator is needed for implantable systems. In spite of their stimulation signal's simplicity of wave shape and waiting time of MCU(micro controller unit) much longer than execution time, there is no consideration for low-power design. In this paper, we propose a novel of low-power algorithm based on the characteristics of stimulation signals. Then, we designed and implement a neuromodulation software that we call NMS(neuro modulation simulation). In order to implement low-power algorithm, first, we analyze running time of every function in existing NMS. Then, we calculate execution time and waiting time for these functions. Subsequently, we estimate the transition time between active mode (AM) and low-power mode (LPM). By using these results, we redesign the architecture of NMS in the proposed low-power algorithm: a stimulation signal divided into a number of segments by using characteristics of the signal from which AM or LPM segments are defined for determining the MCU power reduces to turn off or not. Our experimental results indicate that NMS with low-power algorithm reducing current consumption of MCU by 76.31 percent compared to NMS without low-power algorithm.

The optimum conditions for selective .elimination of salt from tuna boiled extract (TBE) by electrodialysis were determined. The desalination conditions of TBE were determined at various pH's, concentrations and volumes of TBE. The ion-exchange membrane with a molecular weight cut off 100Da was used for desalting of TBE. The desalination times on $1\%$ and $10\%$ of TBE concentrations were 40 min and 240 min, respectively. The electrodialysis process could removed above $95\%$ of the initial salt content in $1\%$ and $10\%$ of TBE concentrations. The desalination of TBE at pH 4.0 was $14\%$ higher than that at pH 9.0 The amount of water transferred by the electrodialysis was determined. The electrodialysis process could remove above $90\%$ of the initial salt content in $5\%$ TBE for 80 min. The initial volume and the permeate did not have significant effects on desalination time and ratio. The key parameters for the desalination of TBE were pH and concentration of TBA.

According to the design method for constructing the crotch angle of traditional Korean men's trousers there are differences in from after its completion. Since there is no standardization of visual & aesthetic pattern for the construction method which is stablished by the calculation formular of waist girth hip girth pantleg end and upper outer leg length it is difficult to be used for educational use or for teaching materials. Therefore the purpose of this project according to five models in proportion to the physical standard of Korea in ages from 24 to 29 years old is to establish a design criterion and the standardization of construction methods by introduction the pant construction method of the crotch angle by converting the sitting posture length to seaming crotch center point both knees width in the Korean way of sitting. The production method for the pattern design is as follow: (1) The waist girth formular is {{{{ { w} over {4 } }}}}+{{{{ {w} over {10 } }}}}(2) The hip girth formular is {{{{ {H } over { 4} }}}}+{{{{ {H } over {5 } }}}}(3) The pantleg end formular is {{{{ {H } over {4 } }}}}(4) A crotch angle is fixed at 70 degress.(5) The ratio of outer leg length to leg width is 5:8 (6) The component ratio of the upper outer leg length to the pant length in 5:8(7) The ratio of the division point of front / right inner leg length and left inner leg width to upper outer leg length is 5 : 8

The Fe(II)-isothiocyanato complex $trans-[FeH(NCS)(dppe)_2]$ (1) eactedwith iodomethane(Mel) to give methyl isothiocyanide-Fe(n) complex, $trans-FeH(NCS(Me)-S)(dppe)_2]I(2)$. Compound 2 was oxidized to $trans-[Fe(NCS)_2(Ph_2P(O)CH_2CH_2P(O)Ph_2)_2][I_3]$ (3), which was structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. The molecular structure of 3 showed a bent Fe-NCS group, Crystallographic data for 3: triclinic space group P1,a=11.071(2) A,b=12.054(2)A,c=12.121(1)A, $\alpha=101.02(1){\circ}C{\beta}=95.887(9){\circ}Cr=110.34(1){\circ}C$, $Z=1R(wR_2)=0.0567(0.1294)$.

This study was performed to observe the effect of ultrasound(1.0MHz, $0.75W/cm^2\;and\;1.0W/cm^2$) irradiation on cultured MC3T3-E1 cell, osteoblastic like cell with respect to the proliferation, protein synthesis, and alkaline phosphatase activity of the cells. The results were as follows: 1. The proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells was increased on ultrasound irradiated group compared with control group. 2. The protein synthesis was not apparently increased on ultrasound irradiated group compared with control group. 3. The alkaline phosphatase activity level was not apparently increased on ultrasound irradiated group compared with control group. From the above results and other literatures, we could suggest that the ultrasound with the appropriate intensity and frequency may have important roles in stimulation of cell proliferation. Therefore the ultrasound may be used in the acceleration of the bone regeneration and bone fracture healing.

Fuel cell systems are consisted of various parts, for example fuel cell stack, fuel supplier, electrical converters, controllers and so on. Each components of system should have appropriate specification for their applications as well as simplicity. Because thermal load can be managed simply by using fans without any water cooling system, the air-cooled PEMFC is widely used in sub kW and around 1kW systems. The performance of an air-cooled system is highly dependent on ambient temperature and humidity. In this paper, the air-cooled PEMFC systems are developed and investigated to study the operating characteristics in the aspect of the thermal and water coupled management by the control of the axial fans and compressors. Various experiments were also conducted to get the cell voltage distribution, the relative humidity of the reactant gas and the thermal management by axial cooling fans, which cannot be observed in single cell experiment. After then, as practical applications, portable fuel cell system and a hybrid electric cart were successfully integrated and operated by using this air-cooled stack.

This study investigates the analysis on the acceptance of Foreign Fashion trends in Korean Fashion Collection by collections, years, season, and designers. The purpose of this study is Korean collection's degree to adopt and receive foreign collections, by comparative analysis of design features between Seoul and foreign collections. For such purpose, from 2006 S/S to 2011 F/W, 5185 pictures were collected from designer's photos of Seoul, Paris, Milan, NY, and London collections. The content analysis and statistical analysis using SPSS will be conducted for data analysis. The results of the research are as follows. First, regarding the design features, square-form silhouette, achromatic colors, and none pattern were presented as well. Second, there were significant differences in the design characteristics of each year. Particularly, in 2008, X-form silhouette, Yellow and Green color, and flower pattern were emphasized. Third, the design features by season were significant differences. In S/S season, square-form and X-form silhouette, achromatic colors of white and gray color, none pattern were evident while in F/W season, square-form Silhouette, achromatic colors of black and gray, and none pattern were emphasized. Fourth, the design features by designer are as follows. In terms of form, Seoul collection was influenced by Paris collection. In terms of colors, it was influenced by NY and London collections.

Environmental friendly acrylic/urea high-solid paint(MUHC) were prepared through the curing reaction of acrylics resin(EBHC) containing 70wt% of solids content and butylated urea curing agent. The synthesis of EBHC Was done at $150^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours, and the results were obtained as follows : $M_{n}=1830{\sim}2190$, $M_{w}$ $3290{\sim}4000$, $M_{w}/M_{n}$=1.80{\sim}1.83$ viscosity=$110{\sim}352$ cps, and conversion=$82{\sim}92$%. After the film was coated with MUHC, the various physical properties were measured. They showed that enhancement of the coating properties such as adhesion, flexibility, abrasion resistance, impact resistance, and water resistance could be expected through introdl1cing caprolactone acrylate component in acrylics resin for the high-solids content acrylics/urea coatings.
