  • 현재 이용되고 있는 상용 치료 계획시스템은 대부분의 치료용 선형가속기가 제공하는 전자선 회전 방식의 치료 기능을 제공하지 않고 있으며, 이것은 전자선 회전 치료가 널리 이용되지 못하는 한 가지 원인이 되기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 Varian 21-EX에 대해, pencil beam 기반의 Pinnacle3 (ver. 7.4f)를 이용한 전자선 회전 치료를 위한 커미셔닝을 한 후, 치료 계획을 세웠으며, 그 정확도를 평가해 보았다. 회전 빔은 폭이 일정한 조사빔을 규칙적으로 반복해서 구현하였으며, 필름과 점 선량을 측정하였다. 치료계획 시스템의 모델링 단계에서, 측정된 깊이 선량분포는 모델링의 계산과 1% 내에서 일치하였으나, 가로 선량분포의 경우에는 모델링 계산이 측정보다 작아서, 50% 선량값을 기준으로 할 때, 6 MeV는 distance-to-agreement (DTA) 값이 5.1 mm, 12 MeV의 경우에는 6.7 mm이었다. 인체모형 팬텀을 대상으로한 점 선량 및 필름 측정의 경우, 계산과 측정은 10% 이상의 차이를 보였다. Pencil beam 기반의 전자선 회전 치료 계획은 정량적인 기준으로 삼기에는 부족해서 선량 분포에 대한 정성적인 참고에만 머물러야 하며, 환자 치료 전에 측정을 통해 선량 확인이 필요하다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 중학교 가정과교사들의 실천적 문제 중심 수업에 대한 인식과 실태, 실천적 문제 중심 수업 실행의 활성화 방안을 알아보는 데 있다. 이러한 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해 전국에서 중학교에서 가정교과를 가르친 경험이 있는 교사 150명의 설문지 응답과 중학교 가정과교사 6인을 대상으로 한 면담 내용을 분석하였으며, SPSS/Win(Ver 10.1) 프로그램을 이용하여 빈도, 백분율, 평균, 표준편차, ANOVA, T-test, 상관관계를 산출하였다. 첫째, 중학교 가정과교사는 가정교과의 목적에 대해서 대부분이 실천적 문제 해결 능력을 키우는 것으로 응답하였다. 대부분의 가정과교사가 실천적 문제 중심 수업이 필요하다고 인식하고 있으나 실행 정도는 낮았으며 실천적 문제 중심 수업의 필요성 인식과 실행 정도에 상관관계가 없어서 가정과교사의 실천적 문제 중심 수업에 대한 인식과 실행의 부조화가 있음을 알 수 있다. 둘째, 교사의 특성에 따른 실천적 문제 중심 수업의 필요성 인식과 실행 정도를 알아본 결과, 교사의 특성에 따라 실천적 문제 중심 수업의 필요성 인식이 유의하게 차이나지 않았으며, 실천적 문제 중심 수업의 실행 정도의 경우 교사의 교직경력, 발령교과에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 직업 만족도에 대하여 실천적 문제 중심 수업의 필요성 인식과 실행 정도가 정적으로 유의한 상관관계가 있었으며 실천적 수업의 필요성 인식보다 실행 정도와의 상관관계가 더 컸다. 이로서 실천적 문제 중심 수업은 선행연구에서 밝힌 학생을 대상으로 한 효과검증 뿐 아니라 교사의 직업만족에도 관련이 있는 것을 알 수 있다. 셋째, 동료교사와 자료 및 정보공유가 실천적 문제 중심 수업 실행을 촉진하는 요인이며, 수업시수나 시간 부족과 실천적 문제 중심 수업에 대한 이해 부족이 실천적 문제 중심 수업 실행을 저해하는 요인으로 나타났다. 실천적 문제 중심 수업 실행을 활성화하기 위한 방안으로 관련 교수 학습 과정안과 같은 학습 자료의 지원에 대한 요구가 높았으며, 수업시수의 확보, 이 수업의 밑바탕에 깔린 가정교과철학관련 연수, 이 수업을 이해하고 실천할 수 있게 하는 장기간의 교사 연수를 필요로 했다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 무인 항공기 서비스 영향성과 활성화 방안에 연구하는 것이다. 무인항공기 서비스의 도입에 따른 영향성에 대한 논의를 경제적, 환경적, 사회적 수용 측면과으로 살펴보고, 정책적 측면에서 산업 활성화 방안을 제시하였다. 경제 영향성 측면에서 보면, 향후에 무인항공기를 사용하여 운송 서비스가 증가하면, 도로 기반 운송화물이 줄어들고 도로 혼잡도 감소로 도로 이동속도가 빨라질 수 있다. 이는 토지나 부동산 자산 가치 상승 등에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있으며, 스마트 도시 설계에도 영향을 제공한다. 환경 영향성 측면에서 보면, 무인항공기는 일반적으로 전기를 통하여 움직이므로 기존의 다른 기기인 차량이나 철도 대비 제공하는 방출하는 배기 가스가 적어서 상대적으로 환경 부정적 영향성은 적다. 그러나 이동시 등장하는 소음은 이동경로에 있는 야생 동물 서식 환경에 부정적인 영향을 제공할 수 있다. 사회적 수용성 측면에서 보면, 새로운 서비스 등장으로 쇠퇴하는 영역이 등장함과 동시에 이익을 창출하는 조직이 등장하여 산업 간의 갈등을 유발할 수 있다. 따라서 등장하는 산업에 대한 수용에 대한 사회적 공감대 형성이 반드시 필요하다. 정부는 이런 무인항공기 활용 서비스 특성을 반영한 부정적인 영향성을 최소화 하기 위한 다양한 대응 방안을 마련해야 한다. 무인기반 산업 활성화를 위해 중장기적으로 항공길 확보를 위해 지상에서 차량이 운행될 수 있도록 도로 표지판 등 다양한 시스템이 도입된 것과 마찬가지로 항공길을 구성하는데 우선적으로 도입 및 적용해야 하는 서비스에 대한 개발과 정립이 필요하다. 또한, 국내도 무인항공교통관리를 위한 정보 수집과 운영 방안과 각 지역별로 관제 시스템 확보 방안 등에 대한 설계 및 구현이 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구는 무인항공기 산업 발달로 새로운 영역에 대한 중장기적 연구에 아이디어를 제공 하는데에 기여할 수 있다.

  • 시스템의 기능을 바꾸어 가면서 여러 개의 어플리케이션을 작동시키는 임베디드 시스템을 멀티모드(multi-mode) 임베디드 시스템이라 부른다. 더 나아가서 하나의 모드가 여러 개의 태스크로 구성된 임베디드 시스템을 멀티모드 멀티태스크(multi-task) 임베디드 시스템이라 부른다. 본 논문에서는 시간제한 조건을 가지고 있는 멀티모드 멀티태스크 임베디드 어플리케이션을 대상으로 하는 HW/SW 분할 방법에 대한 연구이다. 시간제한 조건을 만족하는 스케줄과 함께 태스크의 기능모듈(functional module)을 동작시킬 효율적인 처리 자원(processing resource)을 할당/매핑하여 시스템의 비용(가격)을 최대한 낮추는 것이 목적이다. 이 문제를 잘 풀기 위해 중요한 것은 모듈사이의 병렬성을 최대한 이용하여 실행시키는 것이다. 그러나 이전의 HW/SW 분할 방법은 모듈의 병렬 실행 가능성을 최대한 이용하지 않았는데, 병렬성 이용을 위한 탐색 계산이 복잡할 뿐 아니라 스케줄 가능성(schedulability) 검사를 단순하게 하려고 하였기 때문이다. 기존 방법의 한계를 극복하기 위해서 우리는 다음의 세 개의 세부문제를 동시에 고려하는 HW/SW 분할 기법을 제안한다: (1) 처리 자원의 할당 (2) 태스크 모듈에 대한 처리 자원 매핑 (3) 모듈실행 스케줄의 결정. 특별히 모듈의 병렬 실행과 실행 가능성을 간결하게 측정하는데 바탕을 둔 단순모드(single-mode) 멀티태스크 어플리케이션에 대한 반복 개선 방식을 갖는 분할 기법을 만들었다. 다시 이 기법을 확장하여 멀티모드 멀티태스크 어플리케이션의 분할 기법을 만들었다. 실제 사용되는 어플리케이션을 대상으로 한 실험에서 제안된 우리의 기법이 기존의 방법에 비해서 단순모드와 멀티모드 멀티태스크 어플리케이션에 대해서 각각 17.0%와 19.0%의 가격을 낮추는 것이 확인되었다.기존의 단량체인 Bis-GMA의 대체재로 고려될 수 있다. 혈중 cholestrol의 증가는 비만, 동맥경화, 고혈압 등의 심혈관 질환과 당뇨병 지방 대사 장해 등을 일으킨다. 함량의 경우 정상군에 비해 대조군은 1.74배 증가하였다. 그에 비해 RCM 투여군의 경우 대조군에 비해 57.4%의 예방효과를 측정할 수 있었다. HDL-콜레스테롤은 항 동맥경화의 지표로서 콜레스테롤을 말초혈관에서 간으로 수송하여 동맥경화를 진행시키지 않는 방향으로 콜레스테롤을 운반하여 지질대사 장해에 대한 방어 작용을 지니고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 정상군에 비해 대조군은 2.62배 감소하였다. 그에 비해 RCM 투여군은 대조군보다 81.6% 증대되는 효과를 볼 수 있었다. 과산화 지질 (Malondialdehyde)의 경우 지질조직의 손상정도를 나타내는 중요한 효소로 인정되고 있으며, 조직의 손상, 발암, 염증, 성인병 및 노화 등과 같은 여러 가지 유해 작용을 일으킨다. 정상군에 비해 대조군은 1.74배 수치가 증가되었으며, RCM투여군의 대조군과 비교 시 57.4% 감소되는 효과를 볼 수 있었다. 본 연구는 LPS로부터 유도된 산화적 스트레스에 대한 복분자의 선투여 후 예방효과를 알아보았다. 생약재의 일종인 복분자의 경우 LPS로 유도된 산화적 스트레스 억제 및 지질대사로부터의 개선 효과가 있는 것으로 판단되며 지질과산화에 대해서 강한 억제 활성을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로 복분자는 생활 습관병의 예방과 개선에 유효한 것으로 사료되었으며, 지질대사와 과산화지표의 검증을 통해 기능성 식품소재로 활용될 수 있음을 보여주었다.로서 역시 CTV 치료계획에서 적게 조사되었다(p=0.005). 기존의 ICRU 치료계획은 잔류종양의 크기가 작은 경우 불필요하게 정상조직에 많은 선량이 투여되기 때문에 CT를 이용한 CTV 치료계획을 적용하여 정상조직에 대한 피폭을

  • 최근 제한적인 마커기반 증강현실의 여러 가지 단점들을 보완하기 위해 사용자의 얼굴, 발, 손 등을 활용한 비 마커기반 증강현실 시스템에 관한 연구들이 활발하게 진행되고 있는 추세이다. 또한 대부분의 기존 증강현실 시스템들은 사용자에게 보여주는 것과 기본적인 상호작용에 목표를 두고 강체를 증강하여 수행되는 경우가 많았다. 본 논문에서는 단지 보여주는 것에 국한되는 것이 아니라 여러 분야에서 활용이 가능한 변형물체를 사용자와의 상호작용을 바탕으로 시뮬레이션을 제공하는 비 마커기반의 증강현실 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다. 변형물체는 질량-스프링 모델, 유한 요소 모델 두 가지 방법을 주로 사용하여 구현한다. 질량-스프링 모델은 실시간 시뮬레이션에 장점이 있으며 유한 요소 모델은 변형물체의 정밀함을 나타낼 때 장점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 실시간으로 시뮬레이션을 목표로 하고 있기 때문에 질량-스프링 모델을 기반으로 하는 테트라헤드론 구조를 이용하여 변형물체를 구현하였다. 변형물체의 자연스러운 움직임을 실시간으로 시뮬레이션하기 위해 키넥트 SDK를 통해 사용자의 손의 위치를 추적 하고, 손의 위치 변화량을 바탕으로 힘을 계산한다. 이를 바탕으로 $4^{th}$ order Runge-Kutta Integration 수치적분법을 이용하여 물체의 다음 위치를 계산하여 시뮬레이션 하도록 하였다. 그리고 자연스러운 동작을 표현하기 위해서 사용자의 손을 통해 물체에 작용하는 힘이 너무 많이 작용하지 않기 위해 제스처에 임계값을 정하였으며 해당 임계값을 넘는 힘이 작용할 경우 임계값으로만 적용되도록 설정하였다. 각 실험을 5회씩 반복하였으며 실험에 따른 시뮬레이션 연산속도를 분석하였다. 본 논문을 통해 구현한 변형물체를 활용한 비 마커기반 증강현실 시스템을 바탕으로 기존의 강체 기반의 증강현실에서 활용하기 힘들었던 의료, 교육 및 다양한 방면으로 시뮬레이션이 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

  • 현재 SSL 프로토콜은 다양한 컴퓨팅 환경과 보안 시스템 내에서 핵심부분으로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 SSL 프로토콜의 운영상의 경직성 때문에 다음과 같은 문제점들이 있다. 첫째, 주고받는 모든 데이타에 대한 보안을 실행하기 때문에 CPU에 큰 부하를 초래한다. 둘째, SSL 프로토콜에서는 정해진 알고리즘에 의해 고정적인 길이의 키를 사용하므로 향후 암호문 해독에 대한 위험이 존재한다. 셋째, 새로운 암호화 알고리즘의 추가 및 활용에 어려움이 존재한다. 넷째, SSL 프로토콜 개발 시에 보안에 관한 전문 지식이 없는 개발자는 보안 API(Application Programming Interface)를 다루기가 어렵다. 따라서 이러한 문제점들을 극복하는 동시에 안전하고 편리하게 SSL 프로토콜을 사용할 수 있는 방안이 필요하다. 본 논문은 이러한 요구조건을 만족시키기 위해 CBD(Component Based Development) 개념을 사용하여 설계 및 구현한 SSL 컴포넌트를 제안한다. SSL 컴포넌트는 SSL 프로토콜에서 수행하는 데이타 암호화 서비스를 제공한다. 또한, 보안에 익숙하지 않은 개발자들이 안전한 시스템을 구현할 수 있도록 개발의 편의성을 제공한다. SSL 컴포넌트는 컴포넌트의 기본적인 특징을 수용하므로 반복적인 재사용이 가능하여 생산성을 향상시키고 비용을 절감시키는 효과를 준다. 뿐만 아니라 알고리즘이 추가되거나 변경되는 경우에 호환과 연동을 용이하게 해주는 장점이 있다. SSL 컴포넌트는 애플리케이션 단에서 SSL 프로토콜과 동일한 역할을 수행할 수 있도록 한다. 먼저 요구사항을 도출하여 설계, 구현하고, SSL 컴포넌트와 이를 지원하는 비밀성, 무결성 컴포넌트를 독립적으로 구현한다. 앞에서 언급된 모든 컴포넌트들은 각각 EJB로 구현한다. 암 복호화 시 데이타를 선택적으로 암호화할 수 있도록 함으로써 데이타 처리 시간을 줄여 효율성을 높인다. 또한, 사용자의 의지대로 데이터 및 메커니즘을 선택할 수 있도록 하여 사용성을 높인다. 결론적으로는, 위의 내용을 실험 및 평가함으로써, SSL 컴포넌트가 기존의 SSL 프로토콜보다 처리 시간의 증가율이 낮아 데이타 량이 많아질수록 시간이 더 적게 소요되므로 효율적임을 검증한다.

  • 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.

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. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

  • 군(軍)에서 방위력개선사업(이하 방위사업)은 매우 투명하고 효율적으로 이루어져야 함에도, 방위사업 관련 법 및 규정의 과도한 다양화로 많은 실무자들이 원활한 방위사업 추진에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 한편, 방위사업 관련 실무자들이 각종 문서에서 다루는 법령 문장은 문장 내에서 표현 하나만 잘못되더라도 심각한 문제를 유발하는 특징을 가지고 있으나, 이를 실시간으로 바로잡기 위한 문장 비교 시스템 구축에 대한 노력은 미미했다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Siamese Network 기반의 자연어 처리(NLP) 분야 인공 신경망 모델을 이용하여 군(軍)의 방위사업 관련 문서에서 등장할 가능성이 높은 문장과 이와 관련된 법령 조항의 유사도를 비교하여 위법 위험 여부를 판단·분류하고, 그 결과를 사용자에게 인지시켜 주는 '군(軍) 보고서 등장 문장과 관련 법령 간 비교 시스템' 구축 방안을 제안하려고 한다. 직접 제작한 데이터 셋인 모(母)문장(실제 법령에 등장하는 문장)과 자(子)문장(모(母)문장에서 파생시킨 변형 문장) 3,442쌍을 사용하여 다양한 인공 신경망 모델(Bi-LSTM, Self-Attention, D_Bi-LSTM)을 학습시켰으며 1 : 1 문장 유사도 비교 실험을 통해 성능 평가를 수행한 결과, 상당히 높은 정확도로 자(子)문장의 모(母)문장 대비 위법 위험 여부를 분류할 수 있었다. 또한, 모델 학습에 사용한 자(子)문장 데이터는 법령 문장을 일정 규칙에 따라 변형한 형태이기 때문에 모(母)·자(子)문장 데이터만으로 학습시킨 모델이 실제 군(軍) 보고서에 등장하는 문장을 효과적으로 분류한다고 판단하기에는 제한된다는 단점을 보완하기 위해, 실제 군(軍) 보고서에 등장하는 형태에 보다 더 가깝고 모(母)문장과 연관된 새로운 문장 120문장을 추가로 작성하여 모델의 성능을 평가해본 결과, 모(母)·자(子)문장 데이터만으로 학습시킨 모델로도 일정 수준 이상의 성능을 확인 할 수 있었다. 결과적으로 본 연구를 통해 방위사업 관련 군(軍) 보고서에서 등장하는 여러 특정 문장들이 각각 어느 관련 법령의 어느 조항과 가장 유사한지 살펴보고, 해당 조항과의 유사도 비교를 통해 위법 위험 여부를 판단하는 '실시간 군(軍) 문서와 관련 법령 간 자동화 비교 시스템'의 구축 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • 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.

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. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.
