  • Owing to technical advances in very large-scale integrated circuits (VLSI), high-speed digital signal processing (DSP) chips become fast enough to allow for real-time implementation of hearing aid algorithms in units small enough to be wearable. In this paper, we present a digital hearing aid processor (DHAP) chip built around a general-purpose 16-bit DSP core. The designed DHAP performs a nonlinear loudness correction of 8 octave frequency bands based on audiometric measurements. By employing a programmable DSP, the DHAP provides all the flexibility needed to implement audiological algorithms. In addition, the has a low power feature and $5.410\times5.720mm^2$ dimensions that fit for wearable devices.

  • The impaired person and the elderly who has hearing loss have been continuously increased and these people's desire for participating society as a producer has been increased also. So they strongly request the aid device which can compensate their handicap. The healing aid telephone is one of the basic aid devices that helps the hearing impaired to communicate with other people and to acquire useful information. We design the new model of the hearing aid telephone and test it's efficiency in three fields - electrical, speech perception, user test. From the result of the test we certify that the new model is better for the hearing impaired to understand the meaning of telephone speech than the old general models. We expect that the advanced healing aid telephone can be developed by the research about speech perception characteristics of the hearing impaired in engineering and clinical side.

  • This study focuses on analyzing medical device standards and regulatory requirements in the medical device industry, based on the Medical Device Act in Korea. The objective of this analysis is to determine whether the domestic standards for medical devices in Korea align with international and regional standards. Furthermore, it aims to identify the current application of domestic standards in ensuring the safety and essential performance of medical devices. The analysis revealed that out of a total of 281 domestic standards, 127 standards reference international standards. In terms of the application of domestic standards to specific items, there were 473 types of instruments/machines, 30 types of medical supplies, and 45 types of dental materials. However, the level of compliance with international standards among the domestic medical device standards was only 21%. Upon detailed analysis, general and collateral standards accounted for 24%, while particular standards accounted for 19%. This indicates a significant deviation from the latest international standards. On the other hand, the level of compliance with international standards was analyzed to be 60% for particular standards and 72% for general and collateral standards in Korean industrial standards (KS). Considering these results, the disparities between domestic standards and international standards underscore the need for discussions on domestic medical device regulation and standardization. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the significance of maintaining up-to-date medical device standards and ensuring their alignment with international standards to ensure the safety and quality of medical devices. The findings highlight the necessity for further efforts to strengthen the domestic standardization system in order to promote the development of safe and high-quality medical devices.

  • Research has shown that many smokers experience an increase in the desire to smoke when exposed to smoking-related cues. Cue exposure treatment (CET) refers to the manualized, repeated exposure to smoking-related cues, aimed at the reducing cue reactivity by extinction. In this study, we constructed a virtual reality system for evoking a desire of nicotine, which was based on the results of a Questionnaire of Nicotine-craving. And we investigated the effectiveness of the virtual reality system as compared to classical device (pictures). As a result, we reached the conclusion that virtual reality elicits more craving symptoms than the classical devices.

  • Many devices based on magnetism such as power generators and motors are frequently used in real life. Magnetic materials at nano-scale can be utilized as storage devices such as magnetic tapes and hard disk drives as well as spintronics. In addition to spintronics, magnetic biosensors are another interesting application of magnetic devices at nano-scale. Here, we briefly review magnetic nano-biosensors including Hall-effect sensors, giant magnetoresistive sensors, and tunnel magnetoresistive sensors for many biomedical applications.

  • Lumbrokinase, potent fibrinolytic enzyme purified from earthworm, was immobilized onto the total artificial heart valves using photoreaction. This valve were implanted into the lamb for three days. After experiments, thrombus was observed in the untreated valves whereas no thrombus was observed in the lumbrokinase immobilized valves. The fibrinolytic activity and proteolytic activity of the implanted valve was examined. The fibrinolytic activity of the valve was remained after the implantation. The lumbrokinase could be a suitable fibrinolytic agents in the vascular contacting devices to reduce the thrombus.

  • 혈소판제제는 출혈질환이나 혈소판의 기능장애 치료를 위해 사용되고 있다. 혈소판성분채집술은 혈액성분채집기를 사용하여 혈소판 성분을 채집하는 방법으로, 성분채집혈소판의 질 평가에는 다양한 지표들이 이용되고 있다. 채집된 혈소판의 생산성은 채집효율(collection efficiency)과 채집률(collection rates)로 평가되고 보관된 혈소판의 질은 in vitro 상에서 시각적 외양, 대사활성도, 양, 혈소판 수, 백혈구 수, 미세입자(microparticles), 그리고 다양한 혈소판 활성 표지자들로 평가된다. 혈소판 활성 표지자들은 여러 연구분야에서도 이용되고 있다. 수혈된 후의 혈소판의 질은 교정증가치(corrected count increment)와 혈소판회복퍼센트(percentage platelet recovery)로 평가된다. 본 논문은 혈소판성분채집술의 채집과정, 사용되는 장비, 성분채집혈소판의 질, 전반적인 효율성, 그리고 질평가 지표들에 대한 리뷰(review)와 함께 다른 혈액성분채집기 간의 기능의 차이점을 비교하였고, 또한 혈소판성분채집술은 구연산염 항응고제에 의한 부작용을 일으킬 수는 있지만 전혈 헌혈시에 실신의 전구증상이나 실신을 일으킬 위험이 있는 헌혈자들에게는 더 안전한 방법임을 보여주고 있다.
