Point of care testing (POCT) is could be easily and economically performed and was widely used. In particular, the test items using immune chromatographic method has been conveniently used. But when an error occurs, we should reaffirmed the test results, but we could not reaffirm because the test line is disappeared as the time pass, and the test results are different between laboratory workers. Therefore, we developed multi-strip reader which can store images for the test results and can interpretate the test results automatically. Then we evaluated newly developed multi-strip reader for urine pregnancy test, the test results of the multi-strip reader was 100% matched with the previously results. Our newly developed multi-strip reader was convenient and economic, and will be widely used in many laboratories.

This paper explains the hardware structure of SURF(Speeded Up Robust Feature) based feature point extractor and its FPGA verification result. SURF algorithm produces novel scale- and rotation-invariant feature point and descriptor which can be used for object recognition, creation of panorama image, 3D Image restoration. But the feature point extraction processing takes approximately 7,200msec for VGA-resolution in embedded environment using ARM11(667Mhz) processor and 128Mbytes DDR memory, hence its real-time operation is not guaranteed. We analyzed integral image memory access pattern which is a key component of SURF algorithm to reduce memory access and memory usage to operate in c real-time. We assure feature extraction that using a Vertex-5 FPGA gives 60frame/sec of VGA image at 100Mhz.

산화물 반도체는 높은 이동도와 낮은 공정 온도, 넓은 밴드갭으로 인한 투명성등 많은 장정을 가지고 있어 최근 많이 연구되고 있다. 그 중에서도 InGaZnO (IGZO)는 In, Ga 함유량으로 박막의 전기적 특성을 쉽게 조절할 수 있고 상온에서 비정질 상태로 증착되어 균일성에 장점이 있다. IGZO 박막을 TFT에 적용 시 MOSFET과는 다르게 축적 상태에서 채널이 형성되기 때문에 산화물 반도체 내에 캐리어 농도는 TFT 특성에 많은 영향을 미친다. 또한, 실리콘 기반의 트랜지스터는 이온 주입 및 확산 공정을 통해서 선택적으로 $10^{20}/cm^3$ 이상의 고농도 도핑을 실시하여 좋은 트랜지스터 특성을 확보할 수 있으나 IGZO 박막에는 이러한 접근이 불가능하다. 따라서 IGZO 박막의 캐리어 농도를 조절할 수 있으면 소스/드레인과 반도체의 접촉 저항 감소 및 전계 효과 이동도등 많은 특성을 개선할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 UV light를 이용하여 IGZO 박막의 캐리어 농도를 조절하였다. IGZO 박막은 UV light 조사로 인해 Mo와 IGZO박막의 접촉저항이 $3{\times}10^3\;{\Omega}^*cm$에서 $1{\times}10^2\;{\Omega}^*cm$로 감소하였다. 이는 UV 조사로 표면에 금속-OH 결합이 생성되어 IGZO 박막의 캐리어 농도가 ${\sim}5{\times}10^{15}/cm^3$에서 ${\sim}3{\times}10^{17}/cm^3$까지 증가하기 때문이다. 또한 표면에 생성된 OH기는 강한 친수성 성질을 보여주고 표면의 높은 에너지 상태는 Self-Assembly Monolayer (SAM) 공정 적용이 가능 하다. 본 실험에서는 SAM 공정을 적용하여 IGZO-based TFT 제작에 성공하였고, 이 TFT는 UV 조사 시간에 따라 전계 효과 이동도가 0.03 $cm^2/Vs$에서 2.1 $cm^2/Vs$으로 100배 정도 증가하였다.

It takes a lot of time or is even impossible to communicate for people with physical disability and/or speech impairment. Augmentative and Alternative Communication System is an important computerized tool that makes it possible for those people to communicate. Since not only speech impaired people, but also people with other physical disability cannot use conventional computer input devices easily such as keyboard and mouse, so more simple input devices are need for them to communicate. Thus, in this paper, I designed and implemented a communication aid system, with which they can communicate with simple inputs. I collected frequently used sentences by people with disability and categorized them into 9 everyday language groups. With these categories, they can select any sentence with few simple selections. If none of these categories includes the sentences they want, ChunJiIn keyboard is provided so that they can input the sentences, which can be added to the existing language groups for later use. The priority levels of the sentences in each group is constantly readjusted based on usage frequency so that the number of inputs can be reduced.

In Computer Graphics, fluid dynamics is used for animating and expressing the various special effects of water. As the hardware performance is getting higher, the several algorithms for fluid dynamics become to be executed in real time. However, it still requires a lot of computational time to get the realistic and detailed results. Therefore, there are many researches on the techniques of balancing between performance and quality. It must give priority to the executive performance preserving the visual reality even though sacrificing the physical reality, specially in applications with the game context which need to express the interaction between 3D objects and the surface of the water such as the sea or a lake. In this paper, we propose a method for the realtime animation of interactions between 3D objects and the surface of the water using the linear convolution of height fields and the bounding spheres of object.

The service quality survey for the customers of Gwangyang container port has been done since 2005. It has been difficult to compare annual levels or rival ports because the calculation of weights among service dimensions that is the most important procedure of the assessment systems did not be founded. In particular, the calculation results by the Analytical Hierarchy Process that specializes in estimating the weights were very unstable and not comparable because they were fluctuated annually more than 90% for the specific item. The objective of this study is to support the establishment for new assessment system of service quality with cost- and time-effective tools at Gwangyang port. The confirmatory factor analysis methodology applied to 2007-2009 survey data from the customers of Gwangyang port can estimate ex-post weights to measure annually the stable service quality. The proposed methodology allows us to build the assessment system of more scientific and accurate service quality while reducing the survey items. By this study, a port company can measure accurately the quality of service and improve its competitiveness through being compared to previous periods and leading companies.

Until now, substring selectivities have been estimated by two steps. First step is to build up a count-suffix tree, which has statistical information about substrings, and second step is to estimate substring selectivity using it. However, it's actually impossible to build up a count-suffix tree from biological sequences because their lengths are too long. So, this paper proposes a novel data structure, count q-gram tree, consisting of fixed length substrings. The Count q-gram tree retains the exact counts of all substrings whose lengths are equal to or less than q and this tree is generated in 0(N) time and in site not subject to total length of all sequences, N. This paper also presents an estimation technique, k-MO. k-MO can choose overlapping length of splitted substrings from a query string, and this choice will affect accuracy of selectivity and query processing time. Experiments show k-MO can estimate very accurately.

Recently, evacuation safety of building resident become the major concern, as the building has been higher and more complicated. Many high-rise multi use buildings are under construction in Korea. Required evacuation time using stairway is longer in high-rise buildings, moreover it is impossible for the disabled to evacuate by using stairway. For this reason the study on the effectiveness of using elevator for evacuation is progressing. This study shows the pressure change in various types of hoistway when elevator is moving. Experiments were performed in 4 different types of hoistway, and showed big difference in pressure change between the type of hoistway. The pressure change in single hoistway that have one car is bigger than that in multi hoistway that have multi cars. The results of this study can be used for the study of elevator piston effect as basic data.

Currently used iris cameras are expensive and have many limitations in their use. Existing iris cameras are inconvenient in interworking with newly developed software, and light reflections generated during iris photography are inadequate for medical use. Therefore, it is impossible to utilize the existing camera to take an image by yourself. In this paper, the iris camera is newly constructed so that the iris can be photographed by ourselves and the area of interest can be seen well. Anyone can easily wear glasses-type iris cameras to acquire images using IoT devices, and the acquired images are linked to the iris analysis program and used to read genetic weak parts. The proposed iris camera module automatically provides light reflection, shake, and accurate focus when capturing images, increasing the accuracy of image analysis to 91.49%. In addition, we have proved through experiments that one image processing time is fast as 0.007ms due to accurate image input.

한강 하구는 조석의 변화가 매우 크고 이로 인한 하상의 변화가 많이 발생하는 지역이다. 더불어 남북간 군사상황으로 인해 접근이 불가능하거나 어려운 지역이며, 이로인해 그동안 개발이 거의 이루어지지 않고 자연상태로 남아있다. 남북관계의 상황변화에 따라 그동안 한강 하구의 개발이나 보전에 대한 다양한 논의가 있었고, 그 중 뱃길 복원에 대한 이야기도 다양하게 진행되어 왔다. 하지만 아직까지 구체적으로 어떤 규모의 선박이 얼마동안 운행할 수 있는지에 대한 분석은 거의 이루어진 바가 없다. 본 연구에서는 한강 하구 신곡수중보 하류에서 공릉천 합류부 구간에 대한 주운 가능성을 분석하였다. 최근 하상측량 결과를 바탕으로 조석변화에 따라 형성되는 지점별 수심을 분석하였고 이를 토대로 형성되는 수로를 분석하였다. 선박 규모에 따라 필요로 하는 흘수와 수심을 이용하여 대상 구간에서 운행가능성을 분석하였다. 또한 이와 같이 형성된 수로가 안정적이지 않음을 하상변동 자료를 이용하여 제시하였다. 대상구간에서 조석변화에 따라 형성되는 수심과 선박 규모에 따른 필요수심을 비교 분석한 결과 대형 선박의 상시적 운행은 매우 제한적인 것으로 나타났다. 중소규모 선박의 경우에도 연간 운행 가능시간이 제한적인 것으로 나타나 일반적으로 추정하는 것보다 상업적인 대규모 주운의 가능성은 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 이 구간의 하상변동도 매우 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 지난 10년, 20년 동안의 장기적인 변화 뿐만아니라 1년 사이의 단기적인 변화도 크게 나타나 안정적인 수로 확보는 쉽지 않은 것으로 분석되었다. 한강 하구에서는 대규모 홍수가 발생하지 않더라도 조차가 큰 조석영향에 의해 하상이 지속적으로 변화하고 있는 것으로 추정된다.
