In this paper, we propose a computationally efficient method detecting the P300 wave for brain-machine interface. Electrophysiological researches have shown that the P300 wave's potential is decreased when human intention matches visual stimulation. Motivated by this fact, we can infer human intention for brain-machine interface by detecting the P300 wave's potential decrease. The P300 wave is recorded from EEG(electroencephalogram) electrodes attached on human brain skull after giving alphabetical stimulation. To detect the potential decrease in P300, firstly we statistically model the P300 wave's negative potential. Then we infer human intention based on maximum likelihood estimation. The proposed method was evaluated on the data recorded from three healthy human subjects. The method achieved an averaging accuracy of 98% from subject k, 90% from subject j and 79.8% from subject h.

In this paper, micro dried bio-potential electrodes are demonstrated for sEMG (surface ElectroMyoGraphic) signal measurement using conductive epoxy on the textile fabric. Micro dried bio-potential electrodes on the textile fabric substrate have several advantages over the conventional wet/dry electrodes such as good feeling of wearing, possibility of extended-wearing due to the good ventilation. Also these electrodes on the textile fabric can easily apply to the curved skin surface. These electrodes are fabricated by the screen-printing process with the size of $1mm{\times}10mm$ and the resultant resistance of these electrodes have the average value of $0.4{\Omega}$. The conventional silver chloride electrode shows the average value of $0.3{\Omega}$. However, the electrode on the textile fabric are able to measure the sEMG signal without feeling of difference and this electrode shows the lower resistance of $1.03{\Omega}$ than conventional silver chloride electrode with $2.8{\Omega}$ in the condition of the very sharp curve surface (the radius of curvature is 40 mm).

We investigated an electrochemical properties for Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monolayer films of sphingomyelin and polyamic acid(1:1 molar ratio) mixture. LB monolayer films of mixture was deposited by the LB method on the indium tin oxide(ITO) glass. The electrochemical properties measured by cyclic voltammetry with three-electrode system in $KClO_4$ solution. The current of reduction and oxidation range was measured from 1650 mV to -1350 mV, continuously. The scan rates were 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mV/s, respectively. As a result, LB monolayer films of sphingomyelin and polyamic acid mixture was appeared on irreversible process caused by the reduction current from the cyclic voltammogram. Diffusion coefficient (D) in the sphingomyelin and polyamic acid mixture was calculated $2.67cm^2s^{-1}{\times}10^5$, $5.23cm^2s^{-1}{\times}10^6$ at 0.1 N and 0.2 N $KClO_4$ solutions, respectively.

The heifer electrocardiograph is a widely progressing research which is used in judgement to existence for a heart disease and analyzes electric potential changes of heart movement during continuous living of everyday after attaching to body portable holler recorder for twenty-four hours. In order to obtain electrocardiogram clearly, it must eliminate that 60Hz power line interference, baseline wandering, noise of muscle constriction. In holter electrocardiogram, the most big problem which is recorded signal of ECG(electrocardiogram) is a baseline wandering elimination, which is occurred by rhythm of respiration and muscle constriction of part from attaching to an electrode. Such baseline is roughly irregular wandering and shaking up and down therefore the part of baseline wandering elimination is very important because it is difficult of ECG diagnosis. In this study, it is stabilized baseline wandering in analog part as implementation f real-time signal processing digital filter so it is applicable to analyze patient's heart disease by way of design of baseline wandering elimination system.

RF 플라즈마의 경우 일반적인 싱글 랑뮤어 프루브를 사용하여 I-V 파형을 구하는 경우에, 우리는 시평균한 값만을 구할 수 있다. 일반적인 플라즈마 반응 챔버의 구조상, 양 전극의 크기가 다르기 때문에, 시간에 따라 진동하는 플라즈마 포텐셜의 형태는 정확한 사인파의 형태가 아니다. 그렇기 때문에 플라즈마 포텐셜에 따라서 진동하는 데이터를 시평균한 값에는 DC 오프셋 성분이 나타난다. 이러한 DC 오프셋값은 랑뮤어 프루브를 통한 플라즈마 포텐셜 측정시에 오차로 나타난다. 우리는 DC 오프셋에 의한 에러값을 보정하기 위해 멀티 프루브를 사용할 수 있다. 가장 흔하게 쓰이는 듀얼 랑뮤어 프루브의 경우를 살펴보면, 내부의 전원이 플로팅되어 있으며 전압인가를 위한 회로 또한 접지에서 절연되어 있기 때문에, 플라즈마 포텐셜이 시간에 따라 흔들려도 전체적인 전위가 플라즈마 포텐셜과 함께 움직이기 때문에, 앞에서 말한 DC 오프셋에 의한 오차를 줄일 수있다는 장점이 있다. 그러나, 이를 위하여는 회로의 절대적인 플로팅이 필요하지만 실제 듀얼 랑뮤어 프루브의 전원 회로를 구현시에는, 트랜스포머 등을 사용하여 회로를 절연시켜도 회로에 기생적으로 발생하는 콘덴서 성분 때문에 플로팅에 영향을 받을 수 있다. 또한 양극과 음극 사이의 내부 임피던스가 다르게 나타난다. 실제로 기존의 듀얼 랑뮤어를 가지고 RF 플라즈마를 측정할 때에, 듀얼 랑뮤어 프루브의 두 팁 간에 서로 다른 전압-전류 파형이 나타나곤 한다. 이러한 두 팁간의 전압-전류 파형의 차이는 두 팁이 물리적으로 완전히 동일한 구조를 가질 수 없기 때문에 발생 하기도 하지만, 위에서 밝힌 원인에 의해서도 발생한다. 이로 인하여 듀얼 랑뮤어 프루브에 의한 I-V 파형은 이론 상 원점을 대칭으로 한 기함수의 형태이어야 하는데, 실제 측정 결과를 보면 이러한 대칭 형태의 모양을 보기 힘들다. 우리는 이에 이를 보정하기 위하여 위상이 180도 차이가 나는 두 개의 삼각파 발생 전원을 각각 듀얼 랑뮤어 프루브의 양 팁에 인가하여 두 팁 간의 내부 저항과 기생 임피던스 등을 일치시킨 프루브를 디자인하였으며 이 프루브를 이용한 실험에서, 비교적 완벽하게 원점에 대하여 대칭하는 I-V 커브를 구할 수 있었다. 이에 이 논문에서는 새로운 회로와 이 회로로 이루어진 듀얼 랑뮤어 프루브를 사용하여 플라즈마를 진단하는 방법에 대하여 기술한다.

The electrical conductivity of glass melter at high temperature has been measured. The conductivity is an important physical property for the research and the manufacturing process of glass. Because high temperature is an inconvenient situation to measure the conductivity of glass melter, we have made a platinum crucible and electrode and have measured the conductivity at high temperature. KCl solution, of which concentration is adjusted to the conductivity of glass melter, is used to get parameters of the conductivity cell. A measuring circuit is composed with an AC 1 kHz sine wave generator and an operational amplifier. The cell constants are determined from the measured voltages and the equivalent conductances of KCl solution. Various cells are tested to find a suitable shape for high temperature experiment. The results are compared by cell size, electrode depth, and cell configuration. The conductivity of the borosilicate melter is $0.053{\Omega}^{-1}cm^{-1}$ at $1,450^{\circ}C$.

PEO-like solid polymer electrolytes based on bisphenol A ethoxylate acrylate were synthesized and their electrochemical properties and mechanical stability were studied. Low molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether (PEGDMe) was added to increase the conductivity of the electrolyte. The maximum conductivity of the resulting polymer electrolyte was found to be 1.0 ${\times}$ 10$^{-3}$ S/cm [Bisphenol A ethoxylate diacrylate ([EO]/[phenol]= 15), PEGDMe250 80 wt%, LiCF$_3SO_3$] at 30$^{\circ}$C. Tensile strength of the free standing polymer electrolyte films was measured to be in the range of 0.4 ~ 5 MPa and these polymer electrolyte films did not show a crack even in 90$^{\circ}$ and 180$^{\circ}$ bending against ${\phi}$=3 mm bar. These electrolytes showed oxidation stability up to 4.5 V vs. lithium reference electrode.

The redox characteristics of 2-ketohydrazono-3-phenyl-5-substituted-2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazoles and its derivatives (1a-h) has been investigated in nonaqueous solvents such as 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE), dichloromethane (DCM), acetonitrile (AN), tetrahydrofuran (THF), and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) containing 0.1 mol.dm-3 tetra n-butylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) as supporting electrolyte at platinum ectrode. Through controlled potential electrolysis, the oxidation and reduction products of the investigated compounds can be separated and indentified. The redox mechanism is suggested and proved. It was found that all the investigated compounds are oxidized in two irreversible one-electron processes following the well known pattern of EC-mechanism. On the other hand, these compounds are reduced in a single two electron or in a successive two one electron processes following the well known pattern of EEC-mechanism according to the nature of the substituent

The purpose of this study was to analyze the conception type change and to investigate the effect of understanding on concepts in electrochemistry after general chemistry lessons. The significant differences in concept understanding of electrochemistry were shown in both groups. Statistically significant gains in both groups were as shown in distinguishing the chemical cell, in identifying the anode and cathode, and in understanding current formation and flow, while, significant achievements in understanding the role of the salt bridge, and the need for a standard half-cell were not found. Taking elective chemistry II in high school had an effect on understanding related concepts of electrochemistry in general chemistry lessons. It was shown that many freshmen had difficulties in understanding exact related concepts in several kinds after general chemistry lessons. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to teach contents of the basic concepts in electrochemistry exactly and to hold supplementary lessons.
