Objectives : This study was to investigate on the hominis placenta pharmacopuncture of FBSS patient who were diagnosed as the cauda equina syndrome which has been described as a complex of low back pain, bilateral sciatica, saddle anesthesia and hypoesthesia in the lower extremity with bladder and bowel incontinence. Methods : The patient was treated with hominis placenta parmacopuncture at Samchosu($BL_{22}$), Shinsu($BL_{23}$), Sangryo($BL_{31}$), Charyo($BL_{32}$), Jungryo($BL_{33}$) and Haryo($BL_{34}$) with oriental medical conservative treatment. We estimated by visual analog scale and Oswestry disability index and nerve level dermatome test for evaluate the effect of Hominis Placenta Pharmacopuncture with oriental conservative treatment. Results : After treatment, patient's visual analogue scale score, Oswestry disability index score, bilateral sciatica, saddle anesthesia and hypoesthesia in the lower extremity with bladder and bowel incontinence were generally decreased. Conclusions : The hominis placenta pharmacopuncture with oriental medical conservative treatment might be an effective method to treat the FBSS patient who were diagnosed as the cauda equina syndrome.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy after acupuncture on local acupoints group and distal acupoints group for chronic neck pain. Design : A randomized, crossover clinical trial. Methods : From 15st, September 2010 to October 30th, 2010. 20 patients with chronic neck pain were randomly assigned to either group A or group B. Group A received acupuncture at local acupoints then after 1 week washout period acupuncture at distal acupoints. Group B received the treatment in reverse order. To evaluating efficiency and satisfaction, visual analog scale(VAS), neck disability index(NDI), cranio-cervical flextion test(C-CFT) and five-point likert scale were measured before and after each treatment. Results : Patients in local acupoints group experienced greater improvement than distal acupoints group in VAS. Both local acupoints group and distal acupoints group showed significant improvement in NDI but not in C-CFT and the NDI score change comparison between the two groups had no significance. Local acupoints group showed more effective than distal acupoints group on five-point likert scale. Conclusions : Local acupoints is more effective than distal acupoints in controlling pain in chronic neck pain.

본 논문에서는 power management IC에 사용되는 아날로그 트리밍용 antifuse OTP 셀을 제작하였다. VPP (=7V)와 VNN (=-5V)의 Dual program voltage를 이용하는 antifuse OTP 셀은 antifuse 양단에 hard breakdown 이상의 전압을 인가하여 thin gate oxide를 breakdown시킨다. $0.18{\mu}m$ BCD 공정을 이용하여 제작된 antifuse OTP 셀의 면적은 $48.01{\mu}m^2$으로 eFuse OTP 셀 면적의 44.6% 수준이다. 20개의 테스트 패턴을 측정한 결과 프로그램 후 antifuse의 저항은 수 $k{\Omega}$ 이하로 양호하게 측정되었다.

본 논문에서는 TSMC 0.18 um CMOS 공정을 사용하여 UWB Chaotic-OOK(On-Off Keying) 통신을 위한 송신기를 설계하였다. 송신기는 Quasi-chaotic 신호 발생기, OOK 변조기, 구동 증폭기로 구성되어 있다. 일반적으로 아날로그 피드백을 사용하는 chaotic 신호 발생기는 공정 변화에 대한 취약점이 있어 이를 개선하기 위하여 디지털 피드백 구조의 Quasi-chaotic 신호 발생기를 사용하였다 또한, OOK 변조를 위해 T형 구조의 변조기와 단일 출력 신호를 얻기 위한 차동 입력 단일 출력 구동 증폭기를 설계하였다. 측정 결과, 요구되는 spectrum mask를 만족시키는 출력을 얻었으며, 데이터 20 Kbps, 200 Kbps, 2 Mbps, 10 Mbps에 따른 OOK 변조 테스트를 통해 출력 신호를 확인하여 UWB chaotic-OOk 송신기로 사용 가능함을 확인하였다.

Background: Because a forward-leaning posture can cause increased back muscle activity and pain. Therefore, an innovative method to reduce back muscle activity and pain is required. Objects: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a head support on muscle activity and pain in a forward-leaning posture. Methods: A total of 14 male and 16 female students (average age, 21.65 ± 2.37 years; height, 166.15 ± 7.90 cm; and weight, 60.65 ± 9.00 kg) were recruited for the experiment. Two of them were excluded due to musculoskeletal disorders. The muscle activity and pain in the forward-leaning posture were assessed while participants washed dishes for 7 minutes with and without a head support. The condition of using a head support was randomly performed with a 5-minutes break. To confirm a lumbar flexion angle of 30° during the experiment, myoVIDEO was used, and surface electromyography was used to measure muscle activity. Pain was assessed using a 10-point visual analog scale (VAS). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to analyze the data, with p < 0.05 indicating statistical significance. Results: The cervical, thoracic, and lumbar erector spinae muscle activities significantly decreased with the use of the head support, but there was no significant change in the gluteus maximus. There was a significant decrease in the VAS score for the lumbar erector spinae (p < 0.05), but there was no significant change in the VAS score for the cervical region. Conclusion: The use of a head support in a forward-leaning posture reduced cervical, thoracic, and lumbar erector muscle activity and pain. Therefore, it could be recommended during working in a forward-leaning posture, such as during dishwashing, cooking, and working as a factory employee.

Recently the adaptive control system, which keeps the control system always optimal by adjusting the control parameters automatically according to the variations of the plant parameters, have become very important in the field of control engineering. The adaptive control systems are usally composed of the plant identification, the decision of the optimal control parameters, and the adjustment of the control parameters. This paper deals with a method of the adaptive control system when PI or PID controller is used in the feed back control system. Its controlled object (the plant) is assumed to be described by the transfer function of $\frac{ke^{-LS}}{1+TS}$ where k, T and L are steady state gain, time constant and pure dead time respectively, and their values are variable in accordance with the change of environmental circumstance. It has been known that a pseudo-random binary signal is quite effective for the measurement of an impulse response of a plant. In adaptive control systems, however, the impulse response itself is not appropriate to determine the control parameters. In this paper, the authors propose a method to estimate directly the parameters of the plant k, T and L by means of the correlation technique using 3 level M-sequence signal as a test signal. The authors also propose a method to determine the optimal parameters of the PI or PID controller in the sense of minimizing the square integral of the control error in the feed back control system, and the values of the optimal parameters are computed numerically for various values of T and L, and the results are examined and compared with those of the conventional methods. Finally the above-mentioned two methods are combined and an algorithm to struct an adaptive control system is suggested. The experiments for the indicial responses by means of both the model of the temperature control system using SCR actuater and the analog simulations have shown good results as expected, and the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified. The M-sequence generator and the time delay circuit, which are manufactured for the experiments, are operated in quite a good condition.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of oriental medicine conservative treatment on patients who show symptoms at the legion opposed to that shown in Magnetic Resonance Image(MRI) findings. Subject & Method: Oriental medicine treatment such as acupuncture and herbs was applied to two patients who were diagnosed as lateral herniated intervertebral disc of lumbar spine via MRI but whose pain and muscular force attenuation were shown at the opposed lower limb, for measuring its effects. Results: As for the two cases, the patients were favored in the Visual Analog Score (VAS) and the Straight leg Raising(SLR) test after the oriental medicine conservative treatment. In one case, the muscular force in the lower limb was favored. Conclusion: Based on the results in this study, oriental medicine conservative treatment might be effective on patients who show symptoms at the legion opposed to that shown in MRI findings.

IoT 분야와 의료 측정기기 분야에서 여러 개의 아날로그 입력 신호를 동시에 디지털 신호로 변환하는 기술 요구가 늘어나고 있다. 기존 단일 또는 2개의 체널 방식을 이용하여 여러 개의 아날로그 신호를 처리하는 방식에서는 하드웨어 크기와 전력소모 면에서 응용 제한을 받게 된다. 본 논문에서는 여러 개의 아날로그 입력을 동시에 받아서, 각각에 대한 24비트 디지털 신호를 출력하는 다채널 24비트 ADC 용 콤필터 설계 및 구현을 기술하였다. 제안된 콤필터의 기능은 매트랩 시뮬레이션과 FPGA 테스트 보드로 검증하였다. SK 하이닉스 0,35㎛ CMOS 표준 공정을 이용하여 칩으로 제작하였다. 미분기/적분기 사용 또는 FIR 구조의 기존 방식과 성능, 칩 면적을 비교하였다. 제안된 콤필터는 6개 이상의 다채널 아날로그 입력, 저 전력 소모, 작은 하드웨어 크기를 요구하는 IoT 제품과 의료 측정기기 활용이 예상된다.
