Moving assistant devices for people who are difficult to move are becoming electric-powered and automated. These moving assistant devices are not suitable for moving stairs at which the height between floor surfaces is different because these devices are designed and manufactured for flatland moving. An electric-powered and automated moving assistant device should change direction or stop when it approaches stairs in a movement direction. If the user or automatic control system does not change direction or stop in time, a moving assistant device can roll over or collide with stairs. In this paper, we propose a stairs detection method by using oblique distance measured by one sensor tilted to flatland. The method proposed in this paper can detect upward or downward stairs by using a difference between a predicted and measured oblique distance in considering a tilted angle of a sensor for measuring an oblique distance and installation height of the sensor on a moving object. Before the device enters a stairs region, if our proposed method provides information about detected stairs to a device's controller, the controller can do adequate action to avoid the accident.

관성항법장치는 관성항법장치를 구성하는 관성센서인 가속도계 및 자이로의 오차요소에 의해 수평축 항법오차는 슐러주기를 가지고 서서히 증가하는 반면에 수직축 오차는 기하급수적으로 증가하는 특성을 가지고 있다. 그러므로 관성항법장치를 장시간 운용하는 경우에는 비관성 보조센서를 이용하여 관성항법장치의 수직축 항법오차에 대한 보정을 반드시 수행하여야 한다. 관성항법장치의 수직축 항법오차를 보정하기 위한 비관성 보조센서의 일종인 기압고도계는 계측된 대기압과 모델링 된 대기압을 비교하여 항체의 고도를 측정하는 방법을 이용하기 때문에 항체의 자세변화 등에 매우 민감하고 대기압 측정오차에 의해 매우 큰 진폭의 잡음 및 바이어스가 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션 및 시험을 통하여 기압 고도계의 잡음 및 바이어스 오차 성분에 의한 baro-inertial 고도루프의 성능분석 결과를 제시하고 기압고도계 잡음에 둔감한 INS/기압고도계 칼만필터의 설계 결과를 제시한다.

가상 메모리 관리에서 가장 근 문제점은 느린 보조기억 장치의 속도와 빠른 주기억장치의 속도 차이에서 나타나는 성능 저하라고 할 수 있다 요구 페이징 기법에서 Page Fault가 일어나면 페이지 교체 정책에 의해 필요 없는 page들을 swap device로 이동을 시킨다. 이때 느린 보조기억장치의 접근 속도로 인한 응답시간의 지연은 전체적인 시스템 성능의 저하를 초래한다. 그래서 Swap Device로의 접근 횟수와 페이지의 크기를 줄일 수 있다면 Page Out되는 응답시간을 높일 수 있을 것이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 가상 메모리 압축 시스템을 설계하여 Swap Out 되는 시간을 줄여 시스템의 전체적인 성능 향상을 위한 시스템을 구현한다.

Background: Electrical breathing pacing has many advantages over mechanical ventilation. However, clinically permanent diaphragmatic pacing has been applied to limited patients and few temporary pacing has been reported. Our purpose is to investigate the feasibility of temporary electrical diaphragm pacing in explothoracotomy canine cases. Methods: Five dogs were studied under the general anesthesia. Left 5th intercostal space was opened. Self designed temporary pacing leads were placed around the left phrenic nerve and connected to the myostimulator. Chest wall was closed after tube insertion with underwater drainage. Millar catheter was introduced to the aorta and right atrium. Swan-Ganz catheter was introduced to the pulmonary artery. When the self respiration was shallow with deep anesthesia, hemodynamic and tidal volume were measured with the stimulator on. Results: Tidal volume increased from 143.3$\pm$51.3 ml to 272.3$\pm$87.4 ml(p=0.004). Right atrial diastolic pressure decreased from 0.7$\pm$4.0 mmHg to -10.5$\pm$4.7 mmHg(p=0.005). Pulmonary arterial diastolic pressure decreased from 6.1+2.5 mmHg to 1.2$\pm$4.8 mmHg(p<0.001). The height of water level in chest tube to show intrathoracic pressure change was from 10.3$\pm$6.7cmH$_{2}$O to 20.0$\pm$5.3 cmH$_{2}$O. Conclusion: Temporary electrical diaphragmatic pacing is a simple method to assist respiration in explothoracotomy canine cases. Self designed pacing lead is implantable and removable. Negative pressure ventilation has favorable effects on the circulatory system. Therefore, clinical application of temporary breathing pacing is feasible in thoracotomy patients to assist cardiorespiratory function.

Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) has been used for myocardium failure, but moreover, it may be essential for the life support in cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock. Many commercial devices can be used effectively for the long-term support. However, there are some limitations in the aspects of the cost and technical support by production company. Short-term support with centrifugal type has been reported numerously with the purpose of bridging to heart transplantation or recovery. We successfully treated 5 patitents who were in the status of cardiogenic shock (n=3) or arrest (n=2) with the technique of extracorporeal life support system (ECLS) or left ventricular assist device (LVAD) using the centrifugal type pump. The MCS were performed emergently (n=2) under cardiac arrest caused by ischemic heart disease, and urgently (n=3) under cardiogenic shock with ischemic heart disease (n=1) or acute fulminant viral myocarditis (n=2). All patients were weaned from MCS. Complications related to the use of MCS were bleeding and acute renal failure, but there were no major complications related to femoral cannulations. Mechanical circulatory support may be essential for the life support and rescue in cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock.

This study is to collect a basic data of how Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) procedure can influence to cardiac arrest patient with and without the Depth Device during the average transport time period. The data has achieved by comparing result sheet of CPR procedure by hands only versus with Depth Device by twenty 1st and 2nd class Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) from five different fire stations in city of Chong-Ju, and twenty Emergency Rescue major students who completed the BLS provide course. The experiment participators experienced loss of compression depth and rate increase over time. However, the CPR procedure with Depth Device shows that both EMT and students to allow maintaining both the compression depth and rate. The experiment leaves a positive result for CPR operators and considers being valuable domain for cardiac arrest patient.

In X-ray projection, Unskilled radiologists become skilled through fail exam. This causes the patient to be exposed to unnecessary radiation. In this study, pre-position unskilled radiologic technologist presented ways to improve clinical proficiency. presented a skull lateral x-ray projection practice method using visual, spatial, and assistive devices. In addition, the accuracy and usefulness of the use of assistive devices were evaluated. When X-ray images were taken based on learning, the rotational spacing, which indicates image distortion, was 7.85 ± 1.45 mm and the tiliting spacing was 4.84 ± 0.5 mm. When practicing using visual aids, the rotational spacing is 4.4 ± 0.76 mm and the inclination spacing is 3.01 ± 0.87 mm. using a spatial compensation device, the rotational spacing is 5.2 ± 0.69 mm and the tiliting spacing is 3.33 ± 0.61 mm. Skull lateral X-ray Image distortion caused by empirical photography practice decreased by 5.4%, but image distortion caused by tilting increased by 1.2%. When practicing using a visual assistive devices, the degree of rotational spacing by 40.1% and the tiliting spacing decreased by 30.7% compared to the empirical x-ray exposure practice. When using spatial assistive devices, the rotation interval was reduced by 41.7% and the tilting interval by 23.7% compared to conventional empirical x-ray exposure practice. Therefore, if an unskilled radiologist practices using visual and spatial aids,the accuracy will be improved in skull lateral x-ray projection.
