Various treatments can be attempted in patients with intractable epilepsy, in whom the symptoms of seizures are not controlled by various drugs. On the other hand, in patients requiring a surgical method, a preoperative examination is needed to determine the portion of seizure site to be resected. Electrodes are inserted into the cerebral cortex for accurate lesion measurements and safe operation. The electrodes inserted in the cortex not only record the electroencephalography (EEG), but also allow various tests to confirm the function of the part. One of these methods is the evoked potential test. From January 2015 to December 2018, the trends of measured waveforms in were analyzed 70 patients. The somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) recorded on the electrode inserted in the cerebral cortex can be searched for the pathway of the central sulcus to avoid the primary motor area and primary sensory area. In addition, using the middle latency auditory evoked potentials (MLAEP) and flash visual evoked potentials (FVEP), the functional cortex in the auditory cortex and the visual cortex were compared with the seizure focus point on the EEG to help determine the location of the ablation and minimize functional impairment after surgery.

The effect of acupuncture that occurs at Meridians, can not be defined by western science. But we can find out the electrical effects when acupuncturing by measuring the charges meridians electric potential. So instead of using a needle to acupuncture, we used a electromagnet to give the same effect. We stimulated the meridians, with a electromagnet. Then we observed the pattern of the meridians potential, that occurred at ST-39 and ST-37. After doing clinical experiments with the acupuncture stimulation and the electromagnet stimulation. We found out the acupuncture stimulation and the electromagnet stimulations electric waves were similar. From this result, we knew it was possible to give similar effects to acupuncture stimulation by using electromagnets.

전극물질 및 전극촉매로서의 세라믹물질의 중요성은 상당히 크다. magneli phase를 갖는 $Ti_4O_{7}$과 rock salt구조를 갖는 TiO등의 티타늄 아산화물들은 전도성 세라믹으로서 전기전도도는 탄소보다도 좋으며, 높은 산화전위에서도 산화되지 않을 뿐만아니라, 강산용액에서도 내식성이 강하여 $SO_2$나 $O_2$의 산화전극 물질로 사용할 수 있다. $SO_2$나 $O_2$의 산화에 뛰어난 활동도를 보이는 촉매인 Pt나 Ru를 전기화학적으로 $Ti_4O_{7}$이나 TiO에 입혀서 그 전기화학적인 특성을 조사하였다.

The semiconducting property of Sb-doped tin oxide thin film electrode was investigated and the electrocatalytic effect of this electrode for $SO_2$ (or sulfite, bisulfite ions) oxidation reaction was studied under various conditions. The anodic oxidation of $SO_2$ at tin oxide thin film electrode commenced at lower potential with increasing pH, and good electrocatalytic effect was shown of $SO_3^=$ oxidation in basic solution. In the acidic solutions the electrocatalytic effect of platinum-or palladium-incorporated tin oxide electrode was found to be due to the sites of Pt or Pd exposed on the electrode surface. The electrocatalytic effect of tin oxide electrode was distinctive from that of Pt-or Pd-containing electrodes.

The response characteristics of the bioelectrode developed by the co-immobilization of spinach root tissue and ferrocene in a carbon paste matrix for the amperometric determination of hydrogen peroxide were evaluated. In the range of electrode potential examined (-0.3~0.0V vs. Ag/AgCl). the response time was relatively short ($t_{95%}=11.8$ sec) and it responded in the wide range of pH. Also, its detection limit was $2.25{\times}10^{-6}M$ (S/N=3) and a relative standard deviation of the measurements which were repeated 15 times using $1.0{\times}10^{-3}M$ hydrogen peroxide was 1.87%. The bioelectrode sensitivity decreased to 40% of the original value in 19 days of continuous use.

The electrode for a supercapacitor was prepared using an amorphous ruthenium oxide, which was synthesized from ruthenium trichloride hydrate$(RuO_2{\cdot}nH_2O)$. A supercapacitor was assembled with an electrode of ruthenium oxide material on a current collector of tantalum, and an electrolyte of 4.8 M sulfuric acid. The result of the AC impedance analyses on $Ta/H_2SO_4(4.8 M)/Pt$ cell showed that tantalum was stable at the potential range of $0.0\~1.1V(vs. SCE)$. Therefore, Ta film could be used the supercapacitor as a current collector. The irreversible hydrolysis in the supercapacitor occurred over ca. 1.0V(vs.SCE) when the supercapacitor was protonated to 0.5V(vs. SCE). The supercapacitor protonated to 0.5V(vs.SCE) showed good electrochemical properties when it was tested at the potential range of 1.0V in the charge-discharge test. The potential range of the electrodes including the positive and the negative electrode was varied between -0.004 and 0.995V(vs. SCE). The potential ranges of the positive and the negative electrode were $-0.004\~0.515V(vs.\;SCE)\;and\; 0.515\~0.995V(vs.\;SCE)$, respectively.

Excess tritium analysis was peformed to verify whether or not cold fusion occurs during electrolysis of heavy water in the current density range of 83~600 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for a period of 24 ~ 48 hours with use of palladium electrodes of seven different processing treatments and geometries. The extent of recombination of D$_2$ and $O_2$gases in the electrolytic cell was measured for the calculation of accurate enthaplpy values. The behavior and interaction of hydrogen atoms with defects in Pd electrodes were examined using the Sieverts gas charging and the positron annihilation(PA) method. Slight enrichment of tritium observed was attributed to electrolytic enrichment but not to the formation of a by-product of cold fusion. The extent of recombination of D$_2$and $O_2$gases was 32%. Hence the excess heat measured during the electrolysis was considered to be due to the exothermic reaction of recombination but not to nuclear fusion. Lifetime results from the PA measurements on the Pd electrodes indicated that hydrogen atoms could be trapped at dislocations and vacancies in the electrodes and that dislocations were slightly more preferred sites than vacancies. It was also inferred from R parameters that the formation of hydrides was accompanied by generation of mostly dislocations. Doppler broadening results of the Pd electrodes indicated that lattiec defect sites where positrons were trapped first increased and then decreased, and this cycle was repeated as electrolysis continued. It can be inferred from PA measurements on the cold-rolled Pd and the isochronally annealed Pd hydride specimens that microvoid-type defects existed in the hydrogen-charged electrode specimen.

The ion-selectrodes based on calcium ferrite were prepared by mixing calcium oxide with ferric oxide on molar ratio of 0.6:1.4, 0.8:1.2, 1.0:1.0, respectively. The specimens were sintered at $1400^{\circ}C$ for 2hrs in $O_2$ and for 20min in $H_2$ atmosphere. The selectrode sintered in hydrogen atmosphere showed better responded potential and wider range of responded concentration than selectrode sintered in oxygen atmosphere. The ion-selectrodes base on calcium ferrite(0.6:1.4 molar ratio.) showed the highest potential to bivalent cations such as $Ca^{2+}$, $Ba^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$ and halogen anions such as $I^-$, $Br^-$ in the range of $10^{-1}{\sim}10^{-7}M$. It showed good agreement with theoretical nernstian values.

Electrochemical Ion Exchang(EIX) electrode containing Amberlite IRP-64 as a cation ion exchange resin and Stylene-Buthylene-Rubber(SBR) as a binder was fabricated by the compressed diecasting method. The adsorption and elution characteristics in copper sulfate solution were investigated at the various electrode potentials and electrolyte pHs. In the adsorption process, it was found that the maximum adsorption rate of copper was obtained at -1800 mV and the ratio of adsorption was 92% during 90 min. In the elution process, the elution rate of copper was increased in proportion to anodic potential in the present experimental range and the ratio of elution was 88% during 50 mins at 3600 mV. The adsorption and elution processes were significantly affected by the variation of local pH in the vicinity of electrochemical ion exchange electrode. The higher performances of adsorption and elution were elution were obtained at basic and acidic eletrolytes.
