배경: 기존에 사용되고 있는 인공심폐기는 비박동성 펌프로 회로 내부에 형성되는 압력이 낮고 혈구 손상이 적어서 표준 인공 심폐기로 선호되고 있다. 그러나 많은 실험적 연구들을 보면 박동성 관류가 혈역학, 대사, 장기의 기능, 미세 순환에 대하여 비박동성 관류보다 유익함을 알 수 있다. 그러나 박동성 인공심폐기는 높은 회로 내부 압력과 혈구손상이 해결되어야 할 문제점으로 개발이 어려웠다. 이 연구의 목적은 국내에서 제작된 이중 박동성 인공심폐기의 안전성 및 유효성을 알아보는 것이다. 대상 및 방법: 6마리의 송아지를 대상으로 이중 박동성 인공 심폐기 실험을 하였으며, 완전체외순환을 시켰다. 체외순환은 상,하 대정맥과 대동맥 사이를 우회하였으며, 막형 산화기를 사용하여 혈액을 산화시켰다. 산화기는 좌우측 펌프 중간에 위치시켰다. 순환 시간은 4시간이었다. 동맥혈가스분석, 혈액검사, 혈장 유리 혈색소를 측정하였으며, 맥압과 회로 내부압력을 관찰하였다. 측정은 인공 심폐기 구동 전과 순환 1, 2, 3, 4시간째에 측정하였다. 결과: 동맥혈 가스분석상 pH, 이산화 탄소분압은 모두 정상 범위였으며, 동맥혈 산소 분압은 100 mmHg 이상의 충분한 산화를 보였다. 혈장 유리혈색소는 완전 체외순환하여 4시간이 경과하면서 15.87 $\pm$5.63 mg/㎗로 점차 증가소견을 보였으나 20 mg/㎗ 이내였다. 혈액검사소견상 뚜렷한 이상소견은 없었다. 순환전 수축기 혈압은 97.5$\pm$5.7 mmHg이었으며 시간 경과하여도 100 mmHg 이상의 혈압을 유지하였다. 확장기 혈압은 72.2$\pm$7.7 mmHg이었으며 시간 경과하여도 잘 유지되었다. 평균 혈압은 순환 전 83$\pm$9.2 mmHg이었으며, 시간 경과 시 증가된 소견을 보였다. 펌프의 유량은 3.3 L/min이상을 유지할 수 있었다. 완전체외순환 동안의 혈압의 변화를 보면 순환 전 심장과 유사한 동맥혈압을 보였다. 결론: 이중 박동 구조를 이용한 박동성 인공심폐기는 효과적인 박동성 혈류를 제공하면서 혈구 세포손상도 적었으며, 혈액학적 및 혈역학적인 면에서도 우수한 결과를 보였다. 따라서 모든 심장수술의 인공심폐기로 사용되어질 경우 말초장기에 생리적이고 안정적인 혈류를 공급할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 치과병원에서 발생하는 진료시(스케일링, 치아절삭) 및 비진료시(기기만 가동) 가동되는 치료기기의 소음이 치과위생사들에게 미치는 영향 정도를 파악하기 위하여 NR 평가방법으로 분석하였으며 치과위생사의 기기소음에 대한 반응을 설문조사를 통하여 조사하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 치과병원 기기의 진료 시 및 비진료 시의 주파수 특성의 경우 고주파로 갈수록 소음도가 높게 나타났으며 발생소음도의 대부분이 고주파 성분(4 KHz이상)에 의하여 영향을 받고 있으며 발생하는 소음레벨 dB(A)의 범위는 67.7~78.3 dB(A)로 치과위생사의 소음피해가 예상되는 수준으로 소음 영향을 최소화하기 위한 대책이 시급하다고 사료된다. 2. 치과병원에서 발생하는 소음에 대한 반응을 조사한 결과 응답자의 57.8%가 "왠지 불안하게 된다"라고 응답하였으며 치과위생사 경력이 5년 이하이고 30세 이하인 경우에는 "왠지 불안하게 된다", 경력이 5년 이상이고 31세 이상인 경우에는 "아무렇지도 않다"라고 응답한 비율이 높게 나타난 것으로 조사되었다(p<0.05, p<0.01). 이는 발생소음레벨이 소음이 인체에 미치는 영향에서 "청력손실의 발생 시작" 수준으로 경력과 연령이 많을수록 그만 큼 소음에 만성적으로 노출된 결과로 판단된다. 3. NR곡선에 의한 평가 결과 스케일링 치료를 할 경우 NR-78, 치아 삭제 시 NR-77, 기기만 가동 되는 경우 NR-67로 나타나 작업장의 소음기준을 훨씬 초과하는 수준임을 알 수 있었다. 특히, 스케일링 치료시 소음피해를 최소화하기 위해서 4 kHz이상의 고주파대역을 제어할 수 있는 방음대책을 수립하여 치과 위생사에게 미치는 소음에 대한 영향을 줄일 필요가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 4. 소음으로 인하여 발생되는 제반 문제와 병원환경만족 등의 변수에 대한 상관관계 분석결과 기기에서 발생하는 소음으로 인하여 기분이 거슬리게 되면 환자에게 진료결과를 충분히 설명하지 못하는 경우의 상관계수가 0.677로 유의미한 정적 상관관계(p<0.01), 치과위생사의 "병원환경만족도"와 "환자들로부터 기기소음에 대한 불평을 듣는" 항목에서 -0.595, "기기발생 소음으로 피곤을 느낀다" 항목에서 -0.343으로 유의미한 부정적 상관관계(p<0.01)를 보이고 있었다. 5. 소음에 노출되어 기분 거슬림이나 피곤을 느끼게 되면 진료결과를 충분히 설명하지 못하게 되고 병원이 소란할수록 병원환경만족도가 낮은 것으로 조사되어 치과병원의 기기소음에 대한 적절한 대책 수립이 필요하며 이를 통하여 치과종사자의 쾌적한 근무여건을 제공, 치과병원의 경쟁력 제고 측면에서 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다 치과 병원 기기에서 발생하는 소음이 치과위생사들에게 미치는 영향정도를 파악하고자 소음특성을 측정 및 설문 조사를 통하여 분석한 결과 기기발생 소음특성이 치과위생사에게 기분이 거슬리거나 피로를 느끼게 하는 수준이며 이로 인하여 환자들에게 진료결과를 충분히 설명하려는데 지장을 받고 있으며 병원이 시끄럽다고 느낄수록 병원환경만족도가 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 치과위생사에 대한 적절한 방음대책(방음보호구 제공, 저소음 저진동 장비의 선택, 마스킹 효과 등)을 수립하여 쾌적한 근무여건을 제공하므로써 치과위생사들의 병원환경 만족도를 향상시켜 치과의료 서비스의 질 및 경쟁력 향상이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

한반도 일원의 신기 지각변형과 현생 응력장의 특징을 규명하고 지구조적 형성 배경을 이해하기 위해, 제4기 단층과 발진기구해에 관한 기존 자료와 더불어 최근의 지각천부 시추공 응력자료를 종합하여 재분석하였으며, 마이오세 이후 동아시아 일원의 지구조 환경 변화와 지각변형 특징을 정리하였다. 한반도 남동부의 제4기 단층은 대부분 기존 단층대를 따라 발견된다. 또한 대부분 남-북으로 배열된 상반 서향의 충상단층의 기하와 운동특성을 보이며, 동-서 방향의 순수 압축응력 하에서 적절히 배향된 기존 약대가 재활된 특징을 보인다. 한반도와 인근 해역의 발진기구해 분석 결과, 내륙에서는 주향이동단층 또는 역이동성 운동감각을 포함하는 주향이동단층이 우세한 반면, 동해와 서해 연안의 경우에는 역단층이 우세한 특징을 보인다. 압축 축은 동북동과 서남서를 향해 수평 내지 아수평한 자세로 군집되며, 인장 축은 북북서-남남동 주향을 가지는수직의 대원 상에 배열된다. 시추공 내 응력측정 자료를 취합한 결과, 한반도 지각천부의 평균 최대수평응력은 동북동-서남서 방향으로 나타났다. 따라서 한반도 일원은 현재 광역적인 동북동-서남서 내지 동-서 방향의 압축력에 의한 압축구조가 발달중인 것으로 판단된다. 동아시아 일원의 광역적인 현생 응력장 분포와 비교한 결과, 이러한 동북동-서남서 내지 동-서 방향의 압축응력환경은 태평양판의 서향 저각 섭입과 인도-유라시아 충돌로부터 전파된 응력장이 중첩된 결과로 판단되며, 대부분 고각 섭입의 양상을 보이는 필리핀해판은 배호지역 내에서 인장 환경의 특징을 보여주고 있어 한반도에서의 영향은 미미한 것으로 판단된다. 이상과 같은 동아시아 일원의 신기 지구조환경과 지각변형은 약 5~3.2 Ma 경 태평양판의 이동방향과 섭입각도의 변화와 함께 시작된 것으로 해석된다.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring.
