In order to determine the prevalence rate and find out the sexual difference of abnormal electrocardiographic findings manifested by computerized EKG, which is equipped with auto-analyzing function, a total of 2,083 electrocardiograms that were taken from population over 20 years-old from October 1996 to February 1997 were studied according to their age, gender and blood pressure. 1. Using the electrocardiography with auto-analyzing function, 33 kinds of abnormal findings were manifested. The prevalence rate of abnormal findings was 52.8% in male and 43.7% in female. Among them, the most common finding was sinus brady-cardia found in 17.6% of male and 15.4% of female. Left ventricular hypertrophy by voltage criteria, minimal voltage of left ventricular hypertrophy, left axis deviation and atrial fibrillation were more common in male than in female statistically. Both of nospecific T wave and ST segment abnormality were more common in female than in male statistically. 2. Thirty-three kinds of abnormal findings were manifested. They revealed one abnormal finding alone or combined with some other ones making 128 kinds of abnormal finding. The most common abnormal finiding that manifested alone was right axis deviation (100%), then myocardial ischemia (95.7%) the next. The most common abnormal finding that complexed with other abnormal findings were left anterior fascicular block(percentage of single manifestation, 26.2%) and nonspecific T wave abnormality(percentage of single manifestation; 32.9%). Also, combination of sinus bradycardia and minimal voltage of left ventricular hypertrophy, and combination of sinus bradycardia and left ventricular hypertrophy were included in 25th sequences of abnormal findings. 3. The prevalence rate of abnormal electrocardiographic findings were higher in older group, hypertensive group, and the group of higher systolic or diastolic pressure in both sexes. 4. Abnormal findings that commonly manifested with sinus bradycardia were voltage criteria or minimal voltage of left ventricular hypertrophy(38.6%): sinus arrhythmia(10.5%): nonspecific T wave or ST segment abnormality(18.4%) and first degree AV block(7.2%) in descending order. 5. The most common site which manifested myocardial ischemia was posterior and inferior wall with equal percentage of 23.4%. And then anterior wall(19.1%), and antero-lateral wall and septum with equal percentage of 10.6% was noted in descending order.

We design a small-area, low-power, and high-speed EEPROM for touch screen controller IC. As a small-area EEPROM design, a SSTC (side-wall selective transistor) cell is proposed, and high-voltage switching circuits repeated in the EEPROM core circuit are optimized. A digital data-bus sensing amplifier circuit is proposed as a low-power technology. For high speed, the distributed data-bus scheme is applied, and the driving voltage for both the EEPROM cell and the high-voltage switching circuits uses VDDP (=3.3V) which is higher than the logic voltage, VDD (=1.8V), using a dual power supply. The layout size of the designed 128-KBit EEPROMIP is $662.31{\mu}m{\times}1314.89{\mu}m$.

This paper proposes a real-time wall charge measurement circuit for three-electrode AC PDP. It includes a charge-compensation network, current-integrating capacitors, initializing switches, and an op-amp. With this equipment, we measure the wall charge variations for the effects of sustain voltage, sustain pulse width, sustain frequency, and neighboring cells.

We studied the dependence of the electrical characteristics of MgO protecting layer on temperature in an AC PDP cell. Careful measurements of the surface resistance of MgO were performed for the temperature range from room temperature to $100^{\circ}C$ with and without the VUV illumination. Experimental results show that the resistivity is affected by not only the temperature but also VUV irradiation. The measurement of wall charge distribution and the address discharge delay time as to the temperature show that the resistivity change of MgO may affect the wall voltage and consequently the discharge delay time.

The dielectric layers in AC plasma display panel(PDP) are essential to the discharge cell structure, because they protect metal electrodes from sputtering by positive ion bombarding in discharge plasma and form a sheath of wall charges which are essential to memory function of AC PDP. This layer should have high dielectric breakdown voltage, and also be transparent because the luminance of PDP is strongly correlated this layer. In this paper, we discussed the dielectric breakdown voltage and transparency of the dielectric layer under various conditions. As a result, on the $15\mum$ thickness, the minimum dielectric breakdown voltage was 435V and the transmission coefficient was about 80% after $570^{\circ}C$ firing process. It can be proposed that the resonable dielectric thickness in AC PDP is $15\mum$ because it has about 75V margin on the maximum applied voltage.

Influence of sustain pulse-width on electro-luminous efficiency is experimentally investigated for surface discharge of AC-PDP. It is found that the firing voltage is decreased as the pulse-width is increased from $2\;{\mu}s$ to $8\;{\mu}s$ with sweeping frequency range of 10 kHz to 50 kHz. It has been found that the optimal sustain pulse-width is in the range of $3{\sim}4\;{\mu}s$ under driving frequency range of 30 kHz and 50 kHz, based on observations of memory coefficient, wall charge, and wall voltage as well as luminous efficiency.

We fabricated the newly proposed nano structure memory with SOI edge channel and a nano dot. The width of the edge channel of this device, which uses the side wall as a channel and has a nano dot on this channel region, was determined by the thickness of the recessed top-silicon layer of SOI wafer. The size of side-wall nano dot was determined by the RIE etch and E-Beam lithography. The I$_{d}$-V$_{d}$, I$_{d}$-V$_{g}$ characteristics of the devices without nano dots and memory characteristics of the devices with nano dots were obtained, where the voltage scan was done between -20 V and 14 V and the threshold voltage shift was about 1 V.t 1 V.

The exact diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is very important in the treatment of hypertension. The purpose of our study is to determine the relationship between left ventricular remodeling patterns and electrocardiography (ECG) findings in hypertensive patients. We divided 137 patients into four groups according to left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and the relative wall thickness: normal, concentric remodeling, concentric hypertrophy, eccentric hypertrophy. LVH on the ECG was defined by three ECG criteria: Sokolow-Lyon voltage criteria, Cornell voltage criteria and Romhilt-Estes point score. LVH on the echocardiography was defined by LVMI. The prevalence of ECG LVH was increased in concentric hypertrophy and eccentric hypertrophy group. The QRS voltages by Sokolow-Lyon voltage criteria (r = 0.494, P = 0.002) and Cornell voltage criteria (r = 0.628, P < 0.001), and Romhilt-Estes point score (r = 0.689, P < 0.001) were positively correlated with LVMI. Also, the QRS voltages and point scores were significantly increased in the concentric hypertrophy and eccentric hypertrophy group with increased LVMI. The QRS voltage and Romhilt-Estes point scores were positively correlated with LVMI. The QRS voltages and Romhilt-Estes point scores were also increased in the left ventricular remodeling groups with increased LVMI.

The characteristics of write discharge were investigated when the conventional driving method with the unipolar sustain voltages, and the single sustain driving method applying the bipolar sustain voltage were applied in an AC plasma display. In the case of having a single sustain waveform, the strength of the write discharge is weakened compared to the conventional driving method during the address period, because the wall charge inside the panel is more dissipated by the lower scanning voltage. In the driving method with a single sustain waveform, the bias voltage of the other electrodes was changed to improve the write discharge characteristics. As a result, the intensity of the discharge was enhanced by 32% and the delay time was shortened by 60 ㎲.

This paper proposes the new narrow erase method to erase wall charges formed in an AC plasma display panel (PDP) cell. In the Proposed method, sustain switching timing is adjusted for inducing a weak discharge. Then, after the narrow erase, tile voltage of the X electrode is set to differ from that of the Y electrode. For the proposed method, the measured maximum address voltage margin was 38.3V at Y_Reset voltage of 100V and sustain voltage of 180∼185V. However, for the prior method, in which the X and Y electrodes we set to be of equal voltage after the narrow erase, the measured maximum address voltage margin was 31.3V at Y_Reset voltage of 150V and sustain voltage of 180V. This result shows that the measured maximum voltage margin for the proposed method is greater than that for the prior method by ∼7V(22%).
