This study aims to investigate the use state of the health service computerization system in the occupational nursing field and the occupational nursers' satisfaction level, and provide basic data to promote the development of the health service computerization system for the nursing field. For this study, a questionnaire was provided to 118 occupational nurses who belong to Busan and Gyeongnam branches of KAOHN(Korean Association of Occupational Health Nurses) for 2 months (from Dec. 1, 2002 to Jan. 31, 2003). A tool of Choi Yong-Heui(2000) was used to investigate the satisfaction level of using the health service computerization system. The collected materials were analyzed in real number and percentage, average and standard deviation, t-test and ANOVA by using the SPSS WIN 10.0 program. This study is summarized as follows: 1. The average age was $31.99{\pm}5.58$ old in this study. The married were 54.2%. Participants who graduated from a junior college was 76.9%. The average service period was $4.48{\pm}4.68$ years. In service types, 79.7% of participants served in a health care center. The average service period was $3.22{\pm}2.89$ years. The service place which had 1000 workers or more was 35.6%. 2. Only 20.3% of participants in this study had a computer use education. 3. The field who participants used mostly was communication/internet, $3.29{\pm}.85$ hours in average. 4. 97.1% of occupational fields had computers and peripheral devices: 71.4% in pentium computer, 42.8% in the hard disk capacity of 20-29GB, 60.0% in 15 inch monitors, 86.2% in printers, 18.1% in digital cameras, 12.4% in LAN, and 9.5% in scanners. 80.1% of the occupational fields which were objects of study could use communication. 5. The occupational fields which did not introduced the health service computerization system were 62.8%. The main cause was attributable to entrepreneurs' insufficient recognition 66.6%. 51.5% of the entrepreneurs did not have an introduction plan. 37.2% of participating companies had the health service computerization system. 56.4% of them introduced it since the year 2000. 81.6% of the introduction motivation aimed to the efficiency of health service. The most issue upon introduction was insufficient understanding of a person in charge - 25.6%. The in-house development of the system covered 56.4%. 61.5% of the participants accepted their demands from the first stage of development. The direct effect of computerization showed the increase of 25.9% in the quickness and continuity of service treatment, and 25.9% in the serviceability of statistical treatment. 6. 22.0% of the participants had a computerization system use education. 69.2% of them had a in-house education. An educational method by nurses who used the computerization system was 76.9%. 92.3% of the education was helpful for practical duties. 7. An analysis of the computer use by health service fields showed that the medicine management in a health management field was 15.9%. the work environment measuring management in a work environment filed was 32.9%. the employment. general and special examination management in a heal th management field was 61.1 %. the various reports management in an administrative field was 64%. the health education data preparation management in an educational field was 58.0%. and the medicine and expendables management in an equipment management field was 51.6%. An analysis of the computerization system use showed that the various statistical data manage in a health management field was 13.0%. the work environment measuring management in a health management field was 34.8%. the personal disease management in a health management field was 51.9%. the heal education data preparation management in an educational field was 54.5%. and the equipment management of health care centers in an equipment management field was 52.6%. 8. 31.6% of the participants wanted that health service computerization system would include the generals of health services. 42.4% of the participants thought that first of all. the aggressive interest and investment of employers were required to build the health service computerization system. 9. The participants' satisfaction level on the computerization system use was $3.51{\pm}.57$ points. An analysis by each factor showed $3.62{\pm}.68$ points in a service change factor. $3.15{\pm}.63$ points in a computer program use factor, and $3.45{\pm}.71$ points in a continuous computerization use factor. 10. An analysis of the computerization system use by general characteristics of participants showed that the married (p = .022) had the satisfaction level higher than the unmarried. 11. The satisfaction level of the computerization system use by participants' computer use ability tended to be higher in proportion to the increase of computer use abilities in spreadsheet (F=2.606. p=.048). presentation (F=3.62. p=.012) and communication/internet(F=2.885. p=.0321. Based on the study results mentioned above. I will suggest as follows : The nationwide enlargement and repetition study is required for occupational nurses who serve in occupational nursing fields. The computerization system in a health service field is inferior comparing with other fields. The computerization system standard by business types and characteristics should be prepared through employers's aggressive participation and national support. Therefore various statistical data which occurs in occupational fields will be managed systematically and efficiently. A regular and systematic computer education plan for occupational nurses in charge of health services in the filed is urgently required to efficiently manage and improve the health of on-site workers.

유엔 안전보장이사회(UNSC, United Nations Security Council) 주도의 경제제재는 초창기 '포괄적 경제제재(comprehensive sanctions)' 모델에서 '스마트 경제제재(smart sanctions)' 모델로 발전하고 있다. 유엔 안보리는 직접적인 무력개입(military intervention)보다 규범적 비용(normative costs)과 부담이 덜한 경제제재를 통해 대상 국가의 손익계산법(cost-benefit calculation)을 바꿔 행동변화를 이끌어내려고 했으나, '포괄적 경제제재'에 따른 비용 대부분이 일반 대중에게 전가되면서, 인도적 위기(humanitarian crisis) 사태를 초래하고, 대상 국가의 내부 결속력을 강화하는 역설적인 상황을 만들었다. 이에 따라 정책 결정 과정에 직접적으로 관여하는 지도자와 정치 엘리트를 대상으로 자산을 동결(asset freeze)하거나 여행금지(travel ban) 조치 등을 집중적으로 하는 '스마트 제재'가 탄생하였다. 대북한 경제제재 또한 '스마트 경제제재' 모델로 점차 발전하여 그 효과성을 나타내고 있다. 특히 최근의 결의안(resolutions)을 통해 석탄 수출을 전면 금지하고, 원유 수입을 제한함에 따라 지표상 가시적인 성과가 나타나고 있고, 2018년부터 한국, 미국과 평화협상에 나서면서 제재완화를 촉구하는 등, 위와 같은 '스마트' 대북제재가 북한의 행동변화를 이끌어내고 있음을 알 수 있다. 대북제재의 효과성은 북한의 대외무역규모(total trade volume) 변화량을 통해 측정할 수 있는데, '포괄적 경제제재'의 성격에 가까운 초기의 대북제재 결의안 채택 이후에는 북한 대외무역규모가 감소한 경우도 있지만 도리어 증대된 경우도 있었다. 그러나 석탄 수출 금지 및 원유 수입 제한 조치를 담은 2016, 2017년의 결의안 이후에는 북한 대외무역규모가 2016년 약 65억 달러에서 2017년 약 55억 달러로, 2018년에는 약 28억 달러로 대폭 감소한 사실을 발견할 수 있다. 북한의 대외무역은 정권의 자금줄과 같기 때문에 대외무역규모의 감소는 곧 '스마트 제재'의 효과와 같다. 대북경제제재의 효과성에 영향을 미치는 두 번째 조건은 중국의 대북제재 레짐(sanctions regime)에의 참여 여부다. 북한은 경제적으로 중국에 상당히 의존하고 있고, 이는 지표상으로도 명백히 나타나고 있다. 중국은 그 동안 북한의 지정학적인 가치 및 급변 사태 시 북-중 국경에서의 대규모 난민 발생 우려 등에 따라 직간접적으로 북한을 지지해왔지만, 북한 핵능력의 고도화에 따른 동북아시아 지역에서의 핵확산(nuclear proliferation) 우려, 미-중 무역분쟁에 따른 여파 등으로 대북제재 레짐에 성실히 참여할 것을 밝혔다. 실제로 중국의 대북한 석유 수출량이 감소하고, 북-중간 대외무역 총량 또한 2016년부터 지속적으로 감소하며, 대북경제제재에 중국의 참여가 제재 성공의 중요한 변수임을 증명했다. 효과적인 대북제재를 위한 마지막 요건은 북한의 경제제재 회피 노력 방지(prevention of North Korea's economic sanctions evasion efforts)다. 앞서 밝힌 바와 같이 석탄 수출과 원유 수입은 북한 정권의 자금줄이자 핵무력 고도화를 위한 필수 에너지원이다. 중국이 대북제재 레짐에의 참여를 선언한 상태에서 중국으로부터의 원유 수입량이 급감함에 따라 중동지역 등지로부터 바닷길을 통해 원유를 수입해야 하는데, 원유 수입량 제한에 따라 동중국해(East China Sea) 및 공해(high seas)상에서 선박 대 선박간 불법 환적(ship-to-ship illegal transshipment)을 실시하면서 대북제재를 무력화하고 있다. 유엔 대북제재위 산하 전문가 패널(Panel of Experts), 미 국무부(U.S. Department of State), 미 재무부 외부자산통제국(U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, OFAC) 등은 보고서를 통해 북한의 해상 불법 환적 실태를 상세히 밝히고 있는데, 자동 선박 식별 장치(AIS, Automatic Identification System)의 허위 신호 송출(false signaling), 선박 등록 문서 위조(false certificate of registry)와 같은 방식으로 감시 및 단속을 회피하고 있는 실정이다. '스마트'한 대북제재 설계 및 중국의 참여로 대북제재가 북한의 행동 변화를 이끌어낼 수 있음이 확인되었지만, 국제사회의 눈을 피해 해상에서 만연하고 있는 불법 환적과 같은 행위는 효과적인 대북제재 실행의 마지막 퍼즐이라고 할 수 있다. 앞으로 해상에서의 불법 환적 행위를 막기 위해 다음 세 가지 정책적 함의를 도출해낼 수 있다. 첫 번째는 가장 강력한 조치라고 할 수 있는 해상봉쇄(maritime blockade)에 대한 고려다. 전세계 물동량의 40%가 지나가는 말라카 해협(Malacca Strait)은 북한에게도 중요한 해상 교통로이다. 북한이 계속해서 결의안을 위반하고 공해상에서 불법 환적 행위를 자행할 경우, 말라카 해협에서 북한과 연계된 의심 선박을 검문 검색하고 차단(interdiction)하여 강제적인 방식으로 북한의 제재 회피 노력을 근절할 수 있다. 남중국해(South China Sea)에서 중국과 미국 간, 중국과 주변국 간 갈등이 격화됨에 따라 다국적군의 말라카 해협 봉쇄는 중국에게 달갑지 않겠지만, 유엔 대북제재 결의안에 명시되어 있는 의심 선박에 대한 검문 검색 행위임을 명백히 함과 동시에 다자간의 협조를 바탕으로 하여 규범적 정당성(normative justification)을 높인다면 충분히 실현 가능한 방안이다. 두 번째는 공해상에서의 불법 해상 환적에 대한 감시 강화와 증거 수집이다. 마지막 세번째는 대한민국의 다국적 해상 감시 활동에의 참여다. 북한의 대북제재 이행 여부는 한국의 안보와 직결되는 사안이다. 대북제재의 최종 목표는 북한 비핵화에 있고, 협상 테이블에 북한을 이끌어내는 데 제재가 효과적이라는 것이 드러났기 때문에 핵 위협의 당사자인 대한민국 또한 효과적인 제재 이행 여부 감시에 책임감을 가져야 한다.

최근 도심을 중심으로 연립 다세대의 거래가 활성화되고 직방, 다방등과 같은 플랫폼 서비스가 성장하고 있다. 연립 다세대는 수요 변화에 따른 시장 규모 확대와 함께 정보 비대칭으로 인해 사회적 문제가 발생 되는 등 부동산 정보의 사각지대이다. 또한, 서울특별시 또는 한국감정원에서 사용하는 5개 또는 25개의 권역 구분은 행정구역 내부를 중심으로 설정되었으며, 기존의 부동산 연구에서 사용되어 왔다. 이는 도시계획에 의한 권역구분이기 때문에 부동산 연구를 위한 권역 구분이 아니다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존 연구를 토대로 향후 주택가 격추정에 있어 서울특별시의 공간구조를 재설정할 필요가 있다고 보았다. 이에 본 연구에서는 연립 다세대 실거래가 데이터를 기초로 하여 헤도닉 모형에 적용하였으며, 이를 K-Means Clustering 알고리즘을 사용해 서울특별시의 공간구조를 다시 군집하였다. 본 연구에서는 2014년 1월부터 2016년 12월까지 3년간 국토교통부의 서울시 연립 다세대 실거래가 데이터와 2016년 공시지가를 활용하였다. 실거래가 데이터에서 본 연구에서는 지하거래 제거, 면적당 가격 표준화 및 5이상 -5이하의 실거래 사례 제거와 같이 데이터 제거를 통한 데이터 전처리 작업을 수행하였다. 데이터전처리 후 고정된 초기값 설정으로 결정된 중심점이 매번 같은 결과로 나오게 K-means Clustering을 수행한 후 군집 별로 헤도닉 모형을 활용한 회귀분석을 하였으며, 코사인 유사도를 계산하여 유사성 분석을 진행하였다. 이에 본 연구의 결과는 모형 적합도가 평균 75% 이상으로, 헤도닉 모형에 사용된 변수는 유의미하였다. 즉, 기존 서울을 행정구역 25개 또는 5개의 권역으로 나뉘어 실거래가지수 등 부동산 가격 관련 통계지표를 작성하던 방식을 속성의 영향력이 유사한 영역을 묶어 16개의 구역으로 나누었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 K-Means Clustering 알고리즘에 실거래가 데이터로 헤도닉 모형을 활용하여 연립 다세대 실거래가를 기반으로 한 군집분류방법을 도출하였다. 또한, 학문적 실무적 시사점을 제시하였고, 본 연구의 한계점과 향후 연구 방향에 대해 제시하였다.

정보기술의 비약적 발전에 힘입어, 오늘날 기업들은 지금까지 축적한 고객 데이터를 기반으로 맞춤형 서비스를 제공하는 것에 많은 관심을 가지고 있다. 고객에게 소구하는 맞춤형 서비스를 효과적으로 제공하기 위해서는 우선 그 고객이 처한 상태나 상황을 정확하게 인지하는 것이 중요하다. 특히, 고객에게 서비스가 전달되는 이른바 진실의 순간에 해당 고객의 감정 상태를 정확히 인지할 수 있다면, 기업은 더 양질의 맞춤형 서비스를 제공할 수 있을 것이다. 이와 관련하여 사람의 얼굴과 행동을 이용하여 사람의 감정을 판단하고 개인화 서비스를 제공하기 위한 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 얼굴 표정을 통해 사람의 감정을 판단하는 연구는 좀 더 미세하고 확실한 변화를 통해 정확하게 감정을 판단할 수 있지만, 장비와 환경의 제약으로 실제 환경에서 다수의 관객을 대상으로 사용하기에는 다소 어려움이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Plutchik의 감정 분류 체계를 기반으로 사람들의 행동을 통해 감정을 추론해내는 모형을 개발하는 것을 목표로 한다. 본 연구는 콘텐츠에 의해 유발된 사람들의 감정적인 변화를 사람들의 행동 변화를 통해 판단하고 예측하는 모형을 개발하고, 4가지 감정 별 행동 특징을 추출하여 각 감정에 따라 최적화된 예측 모형을 구축하는 것을 목표로 한다. 모형 구축을 위해 사람들에게 적절한 감정 자극영상을 제공하고 그 신체 반응을 수집하였으며, 사람들의 신체 영역을 나누었다. 특히, 모션캡쳐 분야에서 널리 쓰이는 차영상 기법을 적용하여 사람들의 제스쳐를 추출 및 보정하였다. 이후 전처리 과정을 통해 데이터의 타임프레임 셋을 20, 30, 40 프레임의 3가지로 설정하고, 데이터를 학습용, 테스트용, 검증용으로 구분하여 인공신경망 모형을 통해 학습시키고 성과를 평가하였다. 다수의 일반인들을 대상으로 수집된 데이터를 이용하여 제안 모형을 구축하고 평가한 결과, 프레임셋에 따라 예측 성과가 변화함을 알 수 있었다. 감정 별 최적 예측 성과를 보이는 프레임을 확인할 수 있었는데, 이는 감정에 따라 감정의 표출 시간이 다르기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 이는 행동에 기반한 제안된 감정예측모형이 감정에 따라 효과적으로 감정을 예측할 수 있으며, 실제 서비스 환경에서 사용할 수 있는 효과적인 알고리즘이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대할 수 있다.

이 글은 1979년 MBC의 6·25 특집극 <최후의 증인>을 분석하여 1970년대에 추리와 전쟁이 어떤 상관관계를 맺고 있는지를 분석하려 한다. 전쟁의 기억을 전유하려는 국가의 기획과 이를 새로운 방식으로 전유하려는 제작주체의 의도, 그리고 시청자들이 브라운관을 통해 드라마를 수용하는 맥락에 대한 종합적인 이해를 통해 텔레비전의 시대로 전진하는 1970년대의 굴절을 특집극에서 찾으려 한다. 이를 위해 소설 『최후의 증인』과 1979년 방송된 6·25 특집극 <최후의 증인>을 주요 텍스트로 삼아 김성종의 추리가 텔레비전드라마로 각색되는 양상을 살펴보려 했다. 본고가 분석대상으로 삼은 6·25 특집극 <최후의 증인>은 예술성과 목적성을 동시에 갖춘 수준 높은 특집극을 제작하기 위한 기획의 산물이었다. 하지만 텔레비전 시청이 여가의 중요한 수단으로 자리 잡게 되면서 텔레비전드라마 시청의 핵심적인 이유가 되면서 시청자의 즐거움을 위해 고안된 자극적이고 선정적인 서사들이 정권의 입장에서는 장애물로 인식되었다. 주지하다시피 특집극은 일일극 위주의 텔레비전드라마 시장에 예술성과 목적성을 함께 충족시키기 위해 고안된 예술형식이다. 제작주체가 추진하던 예술적인 드라마와 시청자들이 요구하던 즐거운 드라마의 충돌은 역동적인 소통의 장을 형성한다. 이 과정에서 특집극은 본래 기획을 포괄하는 동시에 시청자들의 즐거움을 충족시키기 위해 구성된 새로움은 국민총화의 의도를 아득히 벗어나기도 했다. 추리과정을 시각적으로 형상화하는 방식으로 고안된 수사드라마는 시대적 리얼리티를 담보하는 새로운 가능성이 되기도 했지만 본래의 의도를 상실한 저속한 문화의 표본으로 지적되었다는 점에서 역설적인 존재와도 같았다. 그렇게 보자면 한국 대중예술에서 유독 힘을 쓰지 못했다고 여겨졌던 추리물은 1970년대에 이르러 한국 텔레비전드라마와 조우하며 수용자들에게 적지 않은 영향력을 발휘했다는 사실을 기억할 필요가 있다. 모든 장르물이 그러하겠지만 장르를 구성하는 다양한 요소들은 이식과 수용의 과정을 거친 형태로 수용자와 대면하게 된다. 주지하다시피 한국에서 추리는 반공, 수사와 결합을 거듭하면서 자신의 고유한 양식을 형성해냈다. 이러한 결합의 양상은 <최후의 증인>의 각색 과정에서 선택과 배제된 요소들을 통해 자연스럽게 장르적 정체성을 형성하는 방식에서 확인할 수 있다. 결론적으로 특집극 <최후의 증인>은 1970년대 내내 반공과 수사를 통해 형성된 텔레비전드라마의 추리가 범죄로 이동해가는 경향을 드러낸 중간적인 텍스트라고 볼 수 있다. 결국 이 글이 도달한 결론은 추리라는 특정한 장르가 텔레비전드라마와 조우할 때 공적 체제에 대한 신뢰감을 드러내는 한편 즐거움에 대한 정치적 해석을 우회할 수 있는 가능성을 끊임없이 탐색한다는 사실이다. 전쟁의 기억은 사회와 체제의 어두운 이면에 새겨진 불온한 상상을 중화시켜줄 알리바이에 가깝다. 결과적으로 유신정권의 말기에 방송된 <최후의 증인>은 특집극의 논리가 텔레비전의 매체적 특성과 조우한 기이한 결과물인 셈이다. 텍스트에 새겨진 흔적을 쫓아 사회적 담론에 대응하여 대결과 우회를 거듭하며 소통을 시도하던 시청자들의 장르적 욕망은 이제 다시 복원될 필요가 있다.

B2B 시장에서 구매자와 판매자간의 관계는 매우 밀접하고 장기화되는 것이 특징이므로 결국 단순한 제품을 판매하는 것에 그치는 것이 아닌 지속적인 서비스에 대한 중요성이 날로 커지고 있다. 산업재 연구 전반에 걸쳐서도 서비스에 대한 중요성과 관심이 증대되면서 고객이 서비스를 사용하는데 있어서 그 서비스의 품질과 함께 최근 소비자들은 얼마나 빠르고 쉽게 서비스가 제공되어 투입되는 노력을 최소화시킬 수 있는가를 매우 중요하게 생각하기 때문에 편의성이 중요한 요인으로 고려되어지고 있다. 이에 따라, 본 연구에서는 산업재 시장에서 관계만족과 관계성과를 형성하는데 중요하게 생각할 수 있는 새로운 요인이 어떤 것인가 라는 의문점에서 출발하여, 서비스 편의성과 관계성과 사이의 구조적 관계를 조사하고자 하였다. 이 연구의 가장 큰 학문적 기여점은 산업재 연구에서 주류를 이루고 있는 관계품질과 관계성과의 새로운 선행요인을 검증한 것이다. 또한 소비재 시장에서 주로 연구되었던 서비스 편의성 척도를 산업재 시장에 적용하여 그 활용도를 실험해 보았다는 데 의의가 있다. 본 연구는 서비스 편의성의 구성요소인 서비스 편의성을 결정편의성, 접근편의성, 거래편의 성, 편익편의성, 사후편익편의성 다섯가지 차원으로 구분하고 관계적 요인인 관계만족에 미치는 영향과 이러한 관계만족이 관계몰입과 관계성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 분석하여 서비스 편의성의 관리와 투자에 대한 마케팅 측면의 중요성을 제시하고 있다. 실증분석을 위해 산업재 서비스를 이용하고 있는 기업의 직원들을 대상으로 설문을 통해 데이터를 수집하였으며 서비스 편의성 ${\rightarrow}$ 관계만족 ${\rightarrow}$ 관계몰입 $\{rightarrow}$ 관계성과에 대한 인과적 구성모텔에 대해 구조방정식 모델분석으로 검증하였다. 구성모텔에 대한 분석결과 서비스 편의성을 구성하는 요소 중 접근편의성을 제외한 나머지 결정편의성, 거래편의성, 편익편의성, 사후편익편의성은 모두 관계적 요인들에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 그 중 편익편의성이 관계적 요인에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 추가적으로 매개효과검증을 실시하여, 서비스 편의성과 관계성과의 관계를 살펴보는데 있어서, 서비스 편의성이 관계만족과 관계몰입을 통해서 관계성과에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 구조적 인 관계를 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이는 높은 서비스 편의성에 대한 관리와 투자가 구매자로 하여금 관계에 만족하게 만들고 이렇게 형성된 관계만족은 관계에 몰입하게 하여 결과적으로는 관계성과를 가져올 수 있음을 시사한다.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
