Objectives : The purpose of this study is to develop the method of selecting representative pulse wave. Methods : The pulse waves were acquired at the right and the left Guan point(關部) with 1420 people who were apparently healthy. The shape agreement of right and left pulse wave and the floating-sinking ratio were compared with three cases, which were the pulse height based method, the pulse area based method, and the pulse time based method. Results : In the point of the shape accordance, the pulse time based method was the best, and the pulse area based method was the worst. In the point of the floating-sinking ratio, the pulse height based method was the worst, and the pulse time based method was the best. Conclusions : So, the pulse time based method was recommended for selecting the representative pulse wave. This study compared the selection methods of representative pulse using the physiological characteristics of pulse wave. Further studies are required, because the representative pulse wave is the main factor of determining the shape and the floating-sinking characteristic of the pulse wave.

The pulse diagnosis is an important and universally used method in Oriental Medicine. Since the traditional method of palpating the pulse relies on the subjective sense in the fingers of an Oriental Medical Doctor(OMD), there has been continued need for more objective method for pulse diagnosis. Recently, various pulse analyzers have been developed to meet such objective palpation and interpretation. However, most of these attempts were not successful to replace OMD's own palpation by fingers. To improve the performance of the pulse analyzers, one should develop machine-appropriate interpretations for the pulse images in the literature, in addition to the improvement in the repeatability and reproducibility. One of such widely-used pulse images to be interpreted is the floating and sinking pulse. The floating and sinking pulses are the two representative pulse images informing us how strong pressure one should apply to obtain the maximal pulse strength. A previous study suggested a convenient and unified measure for the floating and sinking pulses by defining the coefficient of the floating-sinking pulse(CFS). We found the original definition of the CFS could be erroneous under some situations. To improve the performance, we introduce new CFS algorithm for determining the floating and sinking pulse with a pulse analyzers(3-D MAC). To test the performance of the newly suggested algorithm, we conducted a clinical study comparing the agreement ratio with the floating and sinking pulse diagnosis by the OMDs. We found that, among the subjects who are diagnosed with having either the floating pulse or sinking pulse, the new CFS algorithm showed 55.3% diagnosis rate and 73.0% concordance rate, which are about 3% and 6% improvement in the diagnosis rate and agreement rate, respectively, compared to the original CFS algorithm.

이 연구에서는 1 mm의 지르코니아볼(5.6 g/㎤)층을 진동시켜 스파이스(6.74 g/㎤)와 석회석 (2.7 g/㎤) 입자가 지르코니아볼층을 매체로 비중선별이 가능한지 조사하였다. 진동세기를 18 Hz부터 26 Hz까지 변화시켜 스파이스와 석회석의 입자개수 증가에 따른 부유율과 분리효율을 분석하였다. 진동 중 지르코니아볼은 용기내부를 순환하며, 스파이스는 지르코니아볼과 함께 가라앉지만 석회석 입자는 지르코니아볼 표면에 잔존하였다. 스파이스와 석회석의 입자 개수가 증가할수록 입자가 가라앉는 경로에 정체현상이 발생하여 입자가 가라앉는 속도가 감소하며, 스파이스 입자와 겹쳐진 석회석 입자가 같이 가라앉는 현상도 발생하였다. 따라서 입자개수가 증가할수록 스파이스와 석회석의 분리효율은 감소하나, 진동세기가 증가하면 정체현상이 해소되어 분리효율이 증가하는 현상이 관찰되었다. 특히 각 3개의 입자를 투입한 경우 22 Hz에서 100 %의 분리효율이 관찰되어 건조공정이 요구되지 않는 건식 비중선별 공정이 가능한 것이 확인되었다.
