Color is distinguished due to the light in which natural light is reflected by object and made with combination of RGB(red, green, blue; three colors). This study proposes color analysis system with optical method to be used conveniently. Color information of sample is determined with the optical sensor. By using the CIE diagram in particular, it detects purity value and wavelength. The method to distinguish color is very economical, simple, and convenient. The result can be used to confirm accurate information of color for various applications.

In this survey paper, we discuss biomedical ontologies and major text mining techniques applied to biomedicine and healthcare. Biomedical ontologies such as UMLS are currently being adopted in text mining approaches because they provide domain knowledge for text mining approaches. In addition, biomedical ontologies enable us to resolve many linguistic problems when text mining approaches handle biomedical literature. As the first example of text mining, document clustering is surveyed. Because a document set is normally multiple topic, text mining approaches use document clustering as a preprocessing step to group similar documents. Additionally, document clustering is able to inform the biomedical literature searches required for the practice of evidence-based medicine. We introduce Swanson's UnDiscovered Public Knowledge (UDPK) model to generate biomedical hypotheses from biomedical literature such as MEDLINE by discovering novel connections among logically-related biomedical concepts. Another important area of text mining is document classification. Document classification is a valuable tool for biomedical tasks that involve large amounts of text. We survey well-known classification techniques in biomedicine. As the last example of text mining in biomedicine and healthcare, we survey information extraction. Information extraction is the process of scanning text for information relevant to some interest, including extracting entities, relations, and events. We also address techniques and issues of evaluating text mining applications in biomedicine and healthcare.

Many studies have been done to measure and analyze color for various purposes. Visual assessment has lack of objectivity and the equipment for color measurement is very expensive. In this study, we developed a device for quantitative analysis of the color using optical elements. With the color sensor, the ratio of RGB was calculated by measuring the light intensity that is reflected from an object. Inverse transformation of optical signal was performed to detect the color density. The suggested color analyzer can detect color information as well as sample concentration. Results of this study are expected to be used in various medical fields such as pH indicator and urine analysis.

Continuously motivating people to exercise regularly is more important than finding a way out of barriers such as lack of time, cost of equipment, lack of nearby facilities, and poor weather. Our proposed system presents practicable methods of motivation through a diverse exercise aid system. The Health Improvement and Management System (all-in-one system which saves space and maintenance costs) measures and evaluates a diverse body shape analysis and physical fitness test and directs users to automated personalized exercise prescription which is prescribed by the expert system of three types of exercise templates: aerobics, anaerobics, and leisure sports. Automated personalized exercise prescriptions are built into XML based documents because the data needs to be in the form of flexible, expansible, and convertible structures in order to process various exercise templates, BIOFIT, a digital exercise trainer, monitors and provides feedback on the physiological parameters while users are working out in the gymnasium. If these parameters do not range within the prescribed target zone, the device will alarm users to control the exercise and make the exercise trainer adjust systemically the proper exercise level. Numeric health information such as the report of the physical fitness test and the exercise prescription makes people stay interested in exercising. In addition, this service can be delivered through the Internet.

Elasticity is an important physical property of biological tissues. Differences in elasticity can help facilitate the diagnosis of tumors and their extent. Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) tries to visualize images of tissue elasticity by externally applying shear stress on the surface of an imaging object. Applied shear stress induces internal displacements that can be measured from MR phase images. In order to conduct MRE imaging experiments, we need to first develop a vibrator. We found that there does not exist enough technical information to design the MRE vibrator. In this paper, we describe the theory, design and construction of an MRE vibrator. We report the performance of the developed vibrator using two different test methods. We found that the vibrator successfully induces enough internal displacements that can be imaged using an MRI scanner. We suggest future studies of numerous MRE imaging experiments using the vibrator.

Bioinformatics is a rapidly emerging field of biomedical research. A flood of large-scale genomic expression data transforms the challenges m biomedical research into ones in bioinformatics. Clinical informatics has long developed technologies to imp개ve biomedical research by integrating experimental and clinical information systems. Biomedical informatics, powered by high throughput techniques, genomic-scale databases and advanced clinical information system, is likely to transform our biomedical understanding forever much the same way that biochemistry did to biology a generation ago. The emergence of healthcare and biomedical informatics revolutionizing both bioinformatics and clinical informatics will eventually change the current practice of medicine, including diagnostics, therapeutics and prognostics.

We have developed a multi-channel, multi-frequency EIT system with operating frequency of 10Hz to 500KHz. The number of digital voltmeters using phase-sensitive demodulation can be varied from 8 to 64 and we found that 16 and 32-channels are most practical. This paper describes the design, implementation, and construction of 16 and 32-channel systems. The performance of the system was thoroughly tested and we found that CMRR of the developed voltmeter is about 85dB with $100{\Omega}$ unbalancing series resistor. The SNR is greater than 99.6dB and the output impedance of the constant current source is $1{\Omega}W$ at least for all frequencies. Imaging experiments using a banana with frequency-dependent conductivity and permittivity show that frequency-difference imaging is possible using the developed system. Future works of animal and human experiments are discussed.

유비쿼터스 핵심 기술 중 하나인 RFID 기술은 의료산업분야 전반에 걸쳐 활용이 증가하고 있으나, RFID 기술은 태그의 내용을 리더기를 통해 무선주파수로 식별하는 기술임으로 태그의 크기와 위치에 따라 태그의 인식률에 대한 차이가 크기 때문에 태그의 인식률의 성능이 입증되지 않아 도입의 큰 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 연구에서는 사물의 다중인식이 가능한 RFID 시스템을 의약품 창고 관리에 적용하기 위하여 병원 내에서 사용하는 기밀용기에 대한 태그 부착위치와 크기에 대한 인식률 연구를 수행하였다. 실제 병원 약제실의 책장을 모델링하여 Test Bed로 구축하였으며, 구축된 Test-Bed를 통해 병원에서 사용하는 의료용 기밀용기에 태그를 부착하여 최적의 위치를 찾고, 리더기의 최적의 위치에 대한 연구를 수행하였으며, 인식률 향상을 위한 최적의 조건을 제공하고자 한다.
