본 논문에서는 초음파 영상에서 어깨 부위를 분석하여 어깨 힘줄(Tendon) 영역에서 인대 손상영역을 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 초음파 영상에서 ROI(Region of Interest)을 추출하고 샤프닝 기법을 적용하여 ROI 영역을 뚜렷한 후에 퍼지 스트레칭 기법을 적용하여 명암 대비를 높인 후, 평균 이진화 기법을 적용하여 ROI 영역을 이진화 한다. 이진화된 ROI 영역에 침식, 팽창기법과 라벨링 기법을 적용하여 전체 ROI의 면적 영역에서 0.4%이하인 객체 영역들을 잡음으로 간주하여 제거한 후, ROI 영역에서 수평 너비가 가장 큰 영역의 상단 경계에 스플라인 곡선을 적용한다. 스플라인 곡선이 적용된 영역에서 곡선이 가장 높은 지점을 구한 후, 구한 지점으로부터 ROI 영역의 세로 길이의 1/5를 갖는 상단부분을 제거한 후에 양자화할 영역을 추출하고 FCM을 적용하여 양자화를 한다. 양자화된 영역에서 어깨 힘줄 영역 안에 있는 인대 손상의 후보 영역을 추출하고 면적의 크기가 0.14%이상이거나 3%이하인 영역을 어깨 힘줄의 인대 손상 영역으로 추출한다. 제안된 방법을 어깨 힘줄이 있는 초음파 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 제안된 방법이 어깨 힘줄의 인대 손상 영역이 비교적 정확히 추출되었다.

We fabricated the newly proposed nano structure memory with SOI edge channel and a nano dot. The width of the edge channel of this device, which uses the side wall as a channel and has a nano dot on this channel region, was determined by the thickness of the recessed top-silicon layer of SOI wafer. The size of side-wall nano dot was determined by the RIE etch and E-Beam lithography. The I$_{d}$-V$_{d}$, I$_{d}$-V$_{g}$ characteristics of the devices without nano dots and memory characteristics of the devices with nano dots were obtained, where the voltage scan was done between -20 V and 14 V and the threshold voltage shift was about 1 V.t 1 V.

Hollow형 미세바늘 어레이는 주사기와 패치의 장점을 결합하여 여러 종류의 약물을 통증 없이, 전달할 수 있게 한다. 본 논문에서는 건식 식각 방법과 습식 식각 방법을 이용하여 hollow형 실리콘 미세바늘 어레이를 제작하는 제작 공정과 그 결과를 제시하였다. 미세바늘 어레이의 형태는 실리콘 웨이퍼의 앞면에서 세 번의 식각 공정을 이용해 제작되었는데, 첫 번째 건식 식각 공정으로 피부에의 침투를 원활히 하기 위해 바늘 끝을 형성하고, 두 번째 건식 식각 공정으로 바늘의 길이를 조절하며, 마지막 HNA solution을 이용한 습식 식각 공정으로 바늘을 더 가늘게 만들면서 끝을 더 날카롭게 식각한다. 바늘을 통해 약물전달이 가능하도록 웨이퍼의 뒷면으로부터 건식 식각 공정을 이용해 약물 주입통로를 형성하였다. 제작된 Hollow형 실리콘 미세바늘 어레이는 $170\;{\mu}m$의 너비와 $230\;{\mu}m$의 길이, 직경 $40\;{\mu}m$의 약물 주입통로를 가지고 있으며, $1\;cm^2$의 시편 위에 $1000\;{\mu}m$의 피치로 $9{\times}9$ 개의 바늘을 형성하였다.

The loess on the Chinese loess plateau is not only the accumulation of Asian dust but also the source materials of Hwangsa. The eolian carbonates of the loess were dissolved and reprecipitated to form secondary pedogenic carbonates by the post-depositional weathering during the interglacial time. Mineralogical analysis shows that the secondary calcites are composed mostly of a nanosized fibrous calcite with rather constant width ($30{\sim}50nm$) and highly variable length. The nano calcite is the major authigenic mineral, which occurs as the fine-grained matrix of the loess and paleosol. The nano calcite was recently reported in the Hwangsa, where it was originated from the source regions of Chinese loess plateau.

SPIHT algorithm is a wavelet based fast and effective technique for image compression. It uses a list structure to store status information which is generated during set-partitioning of toro-tree. Usually, this requires lots of additional memory depending on how high the bit-rate is. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new technique called MZC-BFS, which needs no additional memory when running SPIHT algorithm. It explicitly performs a breadth first search of the spatial-tree using peano-code and eliminates additional memory as it uses pre-status significant test for encoding and LSB bits of some coefficients for decoding respectively. This method yields nearly the same performance as SPIHT. This may be desirable in fast and simple hardware implementation and reduces the cost of production because no lists and additional memory are required.

This paper presents an efficient algorithm to compute difference between old and new versions of an SGML/XML document. The difference between the two versions can be considered to be an edit script that transforms some document tree into another The proposed algorithm is based on hybridization of bottom-up and top-down methods: matching relationships between nodes in the two versions are producted in a bottom-up manner and top-down breadth -first search computes an edit script. Because the algorithm does not need to investigate possible existence of matchings for all nodes, faster matching can be achieved . Furthermore, it can detect more structurally meaningful changes such as subtree move and copy as well as simple changes to the node itself like insert, delete, and update.

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to evaluate the activity of trunk muscles according to width of the foot and posture of the arm during sit to stand (STS). METHODS: Thirty subjects were recruited and examined for variation in muscle activity of the erector spine, gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and external oblique during different STS conditions; namely, the cross arm basic sit to stand (CBSTS), overhead basic sit to stand (OBSTS), cross arm wide sit to stand (CWSTS), and overhead wide sit to stand (OWSTS). Repeated measures ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) was used for analysis. RESULTS: Erector spinae muscle activity showed a significant increase in the OBSTS condition (p<.05) and external oblique muscle activity showed a significant increase in the OWSTS condition ((p<.05). There was no significant difference in the activity of the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius under any conditions (p>.05). CONCLUSION: During evaluation of the performance of the STS, the CWSTS condition will be useful to decrease the muscle activity of the erector spinae and the OWSTS condition will be useful to increase the muscle activity of the external oblique. The results of this study can be used as an index to find a suitable exercise method for subjects who have back pain or to strengthen the abdomen.

In this paper, we propose a method for vehicle plate detection using depth information which is not influenced by illumination. The 3D camera coordinates of pixels in each block are obtained by using the depth information. Factors of the plane in the block are calculated by 3D coordinates of pixels. After that, the plane similarity between adjacent blocks is calculated by comparing between factors of planes. The adjacent blocks are grouped if the plane similarity is high so that the plane areas are detected. The actual height and width of the plane area are calculated by using depth information and compared with the vehicle plate in order to detect the vehicle plate.
