Background: Quantitation of urine protein is important in dogs with chronic kidney disease. Various analyzers are used to measure urine protein-to-creatinine ratios (UPCR). Objectives: This study aimed to compare the UPCR obtained by three types of analyzers (automated wet chemistry analyzer, in-house dry chemistry analyzer, and dipstick reading device) and investigate whether the differences could affect clinical decision process. Methods: Urine samples were collected from 115 dogs. UPCR values were obtained using three analyzers. Bland-Altman and Passing Bablok tests were used to analyze agreement between the UPCR values. Urine samples were classified as normal or proteinuria based on the UPCR values obtained by each analyzer and concordance in the classification evaluated with Cohen's kappa coefficient. Results: Passing and Bablok regression showed that there were proportional as well as constant difference between UPCR values obtained by a dipstick reading device and those obtained by the other analyzers. The concordance in the classification of proteinuria was very high (κ = 0.82) between the automated wet chemistry analyzer and in-house dry chemistry analyzer, while the dipstick reading device showed moderate concordance with the automated wet chemistry analyzer (κ = 0.52) and in-house dry chemistry analyzer (κ = 0.53). Conclusions: Although the urine dipstick test is simple and a widely used point-of-care test, our results indicate that UPCR values obtained by the dipstick test are not appropriate for clinical use. Inter-instrumental variability may affect clinical decision process based on UPCR values and should be emphasized in veterinary practice.

VOC Analyzer는 공기 중에 포함되어 있는 VOC (휘발성 유기화합물) 중 toluene, ethyl benzene, xylene, styrene 등 4가지 방향족 탄화수소 가스 농도를 측정하는 측정 장비이다. 검출기에는 고감도 반도체 가스센서를 사용한 가스크로마토그래피방식으로써 캐리어 가스로서는 봄베공기를 사용한다. 또한, 대기 중에 포함되어 있는 다양한 가스성분을 농축하지 않고 VOC를 분리 검출하여 농도를 편리하면서도 자세하게 측정할 수 있으므로 건축자재, 페이트, 도료, 접착제 등에서 응용될 수 있다. 이러한 장점을 가진 VOC Analyzer를 이용하여 목재에 주로 사용되는 도료로부터 VOC 방사거동을 확인하였다. 실험은 시편을 밀봉하여 실험개시 후 일정시간 간격으로 48시간까지 측정하였다. 수용성 페인트와 enamel 페인트의 VOC 방산량은 lacquer와 urethane vanish에 비해 상대적으로 적었으며 4개의 샘플 중에서 lacquer의 VOC 방산량이 가장 높게 나타났다. VOC Analyzer를 이용한 측정법은 현재 사용되고 있는 VOC 측정방법 중 가장 빠르고 경제적인 기술이기 때문에 앞으로 널리 사용된 것이라 기대된다.

In this paper, We tried to analyze the patent trend on constitution diagnosis and treatment related technologies. For this, constitution diagnosis and treatment related technologies divided into 16 sub-technology by the advisory committee. And we analyzed patents applied in Korea, Japan, U.S.A., China, and Europe. The 16 sub-technology consist of pulse analyzer, skin diagnosis, tongue analyzer, face and body detector, face analyzer, voice analyzer, intelligence ontology, meridian diagnosis, infrared thermography, electric stimulation, laser, high and low frequency, physical, magnetic, and ultrasound therapy. As a result we found that patents of constitution diagnosis and treatment in Korea has been growing steadily in both quality and quantity since 1980s. The number of patent the pulse analyzer and low frequency therapy are larger than others. But applied relevant international patents, marketability of the patent and Cites per Patent (CPP) index are shown to be very low. In conclusion, to occupy key original technologies of the Oriental medical device, we need to apply more patent of the whole related technology and international patents.

In this paper, we analyzed the spectroscopic properties of strip to analyzer urine qualitatively & quantitatively and make urine analyzer system stable by spectroscopy, and research the property of preamplifier unit. The analysis of spectroscopic properties of 10 pads in the strip is used for determine the wave length of light source of optic detector unit and used for basic materials which are necessary that we develop the algorithm analyzing the density grade of pad accurately. We make preamplifier unit by using the current to frequency method to measure the distribution of pad color. We implemented urine analyzer system. This system's hardware is composed of measuring unit for detect of distribution density of strip pad, main processing unit, communication unit, interface device, thermal printer, and indicator. The software consists of the program which manage the argument of test, proportion initial value of urine analyzer and calibrate analyzed result.

The PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller is widely used in the industries for more than fifty years with the well known Ziegler-Nichols tuning method and others varieties. However, most of the PID controller being used in the real practice still require trial and error adjustment for each process after the tuning method is done, which is consuming of time and needs the operator experiences to obtain the best results for the controller parameter. In order to reduce the inconvenience in the controller tuning, this paper presents a design of an automatic PID controller parameter analyzer being used as a support instrument in the industrial process control. This analyzer is designed based on the tuning formula of Dahlin to synthesize the PID controller parameter. Using this analyzer, the time to be spent in the trial and error procedures and its complexity can be neglected. Experimental results using PID controller parameter synthesized from this analyzer to the liquid level control plant model and the fluid flow control plant model show that the responses of the controlled systems can be efficiently controlled without any difficulty in mathemathical computation.

To measure the moisture content, protein and viscosity of brown and milled rice with Near Infrared Reflectance(NIR) analyzer, the comparison and analysis of the data from the chemical analysis and NIR analyzer were conducted. The purpose of this study is to find out the fundamental data required for the prediction of rice qualify and taste rank, and to develop a measuring method of constituents and physical characteristics of domestic rice with NIR analyzer. The important results can be summarized as follows. 1. The $r^2$ and SEC of moisture calibration from brown rice powder were 0.87 and 0.09 respectively, those of milled rice powder were 0.95 and 0.08 respectively. 2. The $r^2$ and SEC of protein calibration from brown rice powder were 0.83 and 0.20 respectively, those of milled rice powder were 0.86 and 0.20 respectively. 3. The $r^2$ and SEC of viscosity calibration from brown rice powder were 0.36 and 15.50 respectively, those of milled rice powder were 0.55 and 12.98 respectively. Further study is required to develop better prediction model for viscosity. It is necessary the continuous study including wavelength selection, because $r^2$ is small for practical use. 4. The regression equation for one rice variety was nearly coincident with other. Therefore, it is required that the prediction model should be developed for the all rice samples.

본 논문에서는 스트립의 컬러영상을 이용한 요 분석기의 개발을 제안하였다. 제안된 분석기에서 스트립의 컬러영상획득을 위해 이미지센서를 이용하였으며, 상이한 요성분에 반응하는 독립된 각 패드들의 영상을 한 번에 촬영하고, 촬영된 패드컬러를 분석하여 요성분의 측정값을 출력하는 특징을 가지도록 하였다. 특히 개발된 장치는 11개의 요 성분을 측정 분석하는 장치로 프로세서에 의하여 측정된 색상을 처리함으로써 복잡한 과정을 없앨 수 있어 빠른 동작과 가벼우며, 소형화되고, 가시적 판단 때보다 정확성을 매우 높일 수 있었다. 또한 유 무선의 통신인터페이스에 의하여 다른 검사기능을 가진 외부장비나 개인용 컴퓨터 및 의료기관이나 기타 요구하는 다른 곳으로 전송이 가능하도록 하였다.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the foot pressure distribution correlates with the lumbo-sacral curvature, and the Oswestry Disability Index in chronic low back pain patients. Methods : We measured the fore foot pressure and the rare foot pressure using the foot analyzer in 28 women subjects with chronic low back pain. The lumbo-sacral curvature and the Oswestry Disability Index(ODI) were also measured. Results : 1. Subjects with higher ODI(%) had significantly lower Fore foot pressure/Rare foot pressure ratio(F/R ratio) (p<0.01). 2. Lumbar lordotic angle and Ferguson angle were inversely related to ODI(%) (p<0.05, p<0.01). 3. Lumbar lordotic angle and Ferguson angle were positively related to F/R ratio (all p<0.05). Conclusions : Using the Foot Analyzer(FA-48S, Tech storm Inc.) we have shown that F/R ratio has significant correlation with the lumbo-sacral curvature and the Oswestry Disability Index. These result suggest that the Foot analyzer may be used in assessing back pain in chronic low back pain patients.
