Khori(高麗) refers to the Chaabog(reindeer) that live on lichens(蘚) on Mt. Soyon(鮮) in which pastures are the cold and dry plateau of North Eurasia. Thus, the origin region of the Khori or Koguryo that are the ancestors of the reindeer-herding pastoral nomads(馴鹿 遊牧民) can be said to be the Steppe-Taiga-Tundra pastoral areas of North Eurasia and North America. When the pastoral nomads moved on to the great mountain(大山) zone of the Jangbaek(長白) to the Baekdu(白頭) Mountains, they could have been in contact with pastoral farmers or agricultural farmers living there and they became the farmers remaining on agricultural farms. They were the Koryo people, the ancestors of Korea. Staying in one place, they gradually forgot the origin of their reindeer-herding pastoral nomadic history in the Northwest area of Mt. Soyon, the small mountain(小山) zone of the Steppe-Taiga-Tundra pastoral areas. In other words, they lost their identity as reindeer-herding pastoral nomads when they entered the agricultural area after leaving the pastoral area. However, since their basic genes had already formed when they lived on the cold and dry plateau of North Eurasia, it is possible to study their pastoral nomadic history focusing on 'the minority living in the broad area(廣域少數)', by utilizing highly advanced biotechnological science and focusing on genes and information technology innovation, and removing various past hindrances in research. Therefore, it is not so difficult to restore the reindeerherding pastoral nomadic history of the Koguryo(高句麗) people and secure their pastoral nomadic identity, of which the first steps have already been taken into their historical stages. The Eurasian continent and the Korean peninsula, especially the cold and dry plateau of North Eurasia and the Korean peninsula have been closely related to each other ecologically and historically. They can never be a separate space at all. The Eurasian continent lies horizontally east to west and thus, the continent forms an isothermal zone. Also, since the time of producing their own foods, it was relatively easy for people with their technology to move to other places owing to the pastoral nomadic characteristic of mobility. Unlike the Chungyen(中原) region, western Asia and the regions covering the Siberia-Manchu-Korean peninsula where food production revolution was first made were connected to the Mongolian lichens route(蘚苔之路: Ni, ukinii jam) and steppe roads. Although the ecological conditions of nature have changed a bit throughout a long history, it was natural for the many tribes in North Asia living on the largest Steppe-Taiga-Tundra area in the world to have believed 'the legends related to animals in relation to their founders and ancestors(獸祖傳說)'. Assuming that Siberian tigers and the tigers living on Mt. Baekdu were connected ecologically and genetically because of the ecological characteristics of the animals, and their migration from plateau to plateau, we would suspect that the Chosun(朝鮮) tribe living on Mt. Baekdu were ethnically and culturally more closely connected to the farther removed Ural-Altai tribes that lived on the cold and dry plateau region than to the Han(i14;) tribe who lived in Chungyen(中原) that was close to Mt. Baekdu. More evidence is the structure of the Korean language which has the form of 'Subject + Object + Verb', which is assumed to have originated from the speedy lifestyle of the reindeer-herding pastoral nomads. The structure is quite different from that of the Han(漢) language, which is based on agricultural life. Also, it is natural for reindeer riding reindeerherding pastoral nomads or horse-riding sheep-herding pastoral nomads(騎馬, 羊遊牧民) to have held military and political power over the region and eventually to have established an ancient pastoral nomadic empire in the process of their conquest of agricultural regions. The stages for founding global empires in the history of mankind maybe largely divided into two, in terms of ecological conditions and occupations. They are the steppes and the oceans. Of course, the steppe-based empires were established based on the skills to deal with horses and the ability to shoot arrows while riding horses, along with the use of iron ware in the 8th century BC. The steppe-based empires became the foundation for an oceanic empire, which could have been established by the use of warships and warship guns since the 15th Century. Based on those facts, we know that Chosun, Puyo(夫餘), and Koguryo are the products of a developmental process of pastoral nomadic empires on the steppes. Maybe we can easily find the pastoral nomadic identity of the Koguryo more than we expected when we trace the origins and history of the Korean tribe living in the pastures located in the northwest area of Mt. Jangbaek by focusing on pastoral nomadic mobility and organization just as we have investigated the historic origins of Anglo-Saxons in America by focusing on the times before the 15th Century. In the process, we should keep in mind that English culture originated from the Industrial Revolution and was directly delivered to the American continent, although America was far from England and was not an intermediate point on long sojourns either. Further, American culture came back to England in a more advanced form later. The most important thing currently to be resolved is to cause Koreans to look back on their own history in a freer way of thinking and with diverse, profound, and sharp insight, taking away the old and existing conventional recognition that is entangled with complicated interests with Korean people and other countries. The meanings of Chosun, Khori, and Solongos have been interpreted arbitrarily without any historic evidence by the scholars who followed conventional tradition of fixed-minded aristocrats in an agricultural society. If the Siberian cultural properties of the stone age, the earthenware age, the bronze age, and the iron age are analyzed in such a way, archaeological discovery will never be able to contribute to the restoration of the Koguryo's pastoral nomadic identity. One should transcend the errors that tend to interpret the cultural properties discovered in the pastoral nomadic regions as not being differentiated from those of agricultural regions and just interpret them altogether from the agricultural point of view. A more careful intention is required in the interpretation of cultural properties of ancient Korean empires that seem to have been formed due to mutual interactions of pastoral nomadic and agricultural cultures. Also, it is required that the conventional recognition chain of 'reverse-genes' be severed, which has placed more weight on agricultural properties than pastoral nomadic ones, since their settlement on agricultural farms was made after the establishment of their ancient pastoral nomadic empires. There is no reason at all to place priority on stoneware, earthenware, bronze ware, and iron ware than on wooden ware(木器) and other ware which were made of animal skins(皮器), bones and horns(骨角器), in analyzing the history in the regions of reindeer or sheep pastures. Reading ancient Korean history from the perspective of pastoral nomadic history, one feels strongly the instinctive emotions to return to the natural 'mother place'. The reindeer-herding pastoral nomadic identity of the Koguryo people that has been accumulated in volumes in their genes and hidden deep inside and have interacted organically could be reborn with Burqanism(Burqan refers to 不咸 in Chinese), which was their religion by birth and symbolized as the red willow(紅柳=不咸). The mother place of the Koguryo's people is the endless vast green pastures of North Eurasia and North America, where we anticipated the development of Korean livestock farming following the inherent properties in the genes of the reindeer-herding pastoral nomads with Korean ancestors. We anticipate that the place would be the core resource that could contribute to the development of life of living creatures following the inherent properties of their genes and biotechnological factors. In other words, biotechnology used for a search for clues on the well-being of humans could be the fruit brought by Burqanism of the Koguryo people and the fruit of the globalization of Korean livestock farming. It is the Chosun farmer in China come from the vast nomadic reindeer pastures of North Eurasia that resolved the food problem of a billion Chinese people with lowland paddy rice seeds (水稻) by transforming Heilongjiang Province(黑龍江省) into an oceanic lowland paddy rice field(水田). Even Mao Tse-tung(毛擇東) could not resolve the food problem by his revolution campaigns for tens of years. Today is the very time that requires the development of special livestock farming following the inherent properties of the ancient Korean reindeer-herding pastoral nomads that respected the dignity of life on the cold and dry plateau of North Eurasia and the America continent. I suggest that research should be started from the pastures of the Dariganga Steppe in East Mongolia that was the homeland of Hanwoo(韓牛) and the central horse-herding steppe place(牧馬場) of Chingis Khan's Mongolia. The Dariganga Steppe is awash with an affluent natural environment for pastoral nomadic living however, the quality of life of the pastoral nomads there is still low. I suggest we Koreans, the descendents of the Koguryo, should take our first steps for our livestock farming business project and develop the Northern nomadic pastures, here at the pastures of the Dariganga Steppe, which is the Mongolian core place of state-of-the-art technology for military weapons.

본 연구는 동해안 오구굿 중 김장길이 소리한 판염불의 악곡 중 6곡을 대상으로 선율을 분석하여 무가(巫歌) 판염불에 나타난 불교음악의 영향을 살펴본 것이다. 그 결과를 요약해보면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 2016년 10월 16일에 연행된 김장길의 판염불의 구성은 <창혼>, <예불>, <망자축원>, <장엄염불>, <대다라니>, <오방례>, <지장보살 정근>, <법성게>, <극락세계십종장엄>, <아미타불 정근>, <지옥가>로 구성된다. 다만 판염불은 같은 양중이 연행한다 하더라도 상황에 따라 더 추가되고 생략될 수 있으므로 그 절차구성은 매우 유동적이다. 그러나 김용택의 것과 비교했을 때 <지옥가> 외에 <대다라니>가 공통되는 것으로 보아 동해안 오구굿의 판염불에는 <대다라니>가 중요한 위치를 차지하는 것으로 보인다. 둘째, <대다라니>는 불가에서는 일반적으로 '신묘장구대다라니'라고 칭하고 있고 김용택도 이 명칭을 그대로 수용하고 있는데 반해, 김장길은 '염화장구대다라니'라고 하여 차별되는 명칭을 사용한다. 염화는 '손가락에 꽃을 집어들었다'는 뜻으로 불가적 의미이지만 보편적으로 사용하는 명칭이 아니다. 이로보아 김장길은 불경의 '대다라니'를 수용하되 차별된 명칭을 사용함으로써 불교의례와는 구별되는, 무의례만의 의미를 부여하고자 한 것으로 보인다. 셋째, 동해안 오구굿의 판염불은 크게 두 부분으로 나누어진다. 전반부의 <판염불>과 후반부의 <지옥가>이다. <판염불>은 양중이 앉아서 직접 징 반주를 하며 독송하고, <지옥가>는 양중이 꽹과리를 들고 일어서서 독송하는데 이때 악사들이 삼공잽이 장단으로 반주한다. 노래와 반주가 이중주처럼 주고받는 형식으로 이루어지므로 음악적으로도 가장 고조되고 강조된다. <판염불>은 판염불 지옥가로 구분해서 보기도 하지만, 한 명의 양중에 의해 독송되는 절차이므로 일반적으로 하나의 절차로 해석한다. 넷째, 김장길의 판염불에서 반주역할을 하는 징은 악구를 구분하고 악곡의 단락을 짓는 역할이다. 일자일음의 염불을 노래할 때, 숨을 고르거나 목을 가다듬는 등 호흡의 정리가 필요한데 이때 징이 그 사이를 메운다. 징은 악구를 구분하여 음악적 단락을 지어주므로, 가사의 전달을 명확하게 한다. 징의 리듬은 균등한 2소박을 제외하고는 대부분 3소박으로 이루어져 있으며, 암쇠(♩♪)보다는 숫쇠(♪♩)의 빈도가 압도적으로 많다. 또한 당김음이 자주 사용된다. 균등한 2소박의 반주에서도 엇박 또는 단장(短長) 리듬을 자주 사용하여 단조로운 균등리듬에 변화를 주어 음악적 활력을 준다. 이와 같은 엇박과 단장리듬은 긴장감을 자아내는 숫쇠리듬과 일맥상통하는 것으로, 양중 김장길만의 리듬특징으로 보아진다. 다섯째, 모든 악곡은 mi, sol, la, do, re의 5음구성이며, do'${\searrow}$la${\searrow}$sol${\searrow}$mi의 하행선율이 압도적으로 많다. 하행선율은 슬픈 느낌을 자아내는 것으로 망자에 대한 슬픔을 음악적으로 잘 표현한 것이므로, 김장길의 음악적 감각을 엿볼 수 있다. 악곡은 전체적으로 la${\searrow}$sol${\searrow}$mi의 완전4도 하행에서 sol의 시가가 짧게 나타나는 전형적인 메나리토리로 이루어져 있다. 여섯째, 김장길은 기존 염불의 가사를 수용하되 그대로 부르지 않고 그 사이사이에 '원왕생'이나 '나무아미타불' 등과 같은 가사를 삽입하였고 한문으로 구성된 예불가사에서는 '합소사~'와 같은 한글가사를 추가하였다. 또 슬픈 느낌을 표현하기위해 '이이이이이이이~'와 같은 구절을 삽입하기도 하였다. 이는 망자를 극락왕생하고자 하는 염원을 극대화함과 동시에 불교의 색채를 감소시키고 무속적인 느낌을 주고자한 것으로 보인다. 일곱째, 불교의 색채를 감소시키고자 하는 특징은 가사붙임새에서도 마찬가지이다. 예를 들어, <다게>의 끝 가사와 <칠정례>의 시작가사 사이에서는 일반적으로 휴지를 주어 단락을 구분하지만, 김장길은 오히려 휴지 없이 하나의 곡조로 진행하여 불교 독송의 색채감을 배제하였다. 선율도 일반 불교독송의 것과는 차별된다. 이는 불교의례문을 수용하되, 불가식의 염송과는 구별되는 무의례만의 특징을 부여하고자 하는 김장길의 의지로 해석된다. 여덟째, 분석한 곡목은 크게 4가지 장단으로 나눌 수 있다. 일정한 장단이 없는 <창혼> <망자축원>, 2소박의 균일한 장단의 <예불> <대다라니>, 3+2+3+2의 혼소박으로 된 10/8박자의 엇모리장단으로 된 <지장보살 정근>, 3+2+3의 혼소박으로 구성된 삼공잽이 장단의 <지옥가> 등 악곡에 따라 각기 구분되는 장단으로 이루어져있다. 이중 <지장보살 정근>은 불가에서도 자주 연행되는 의식이지만, 엇모리장단으로 되어서 무속적인 느낌을 자아내며, <지옥가> 역시 삼공잽이 장단으로 연주되어 동해안 무의례만의 특징을 이룬다.

본 논문은 지우재(之又齋) 정수영(鄭遂榮)(1743~1831)의 《한임강유람도권(漢臨江遊覽圖卷)》이 한양 근교 지역의 여러 곳을 선유(船遊)와 유산(遊山) 여행하면서 화가의 주관적인 시각이 잘 담긴 사적인 여행 기록이라는 점을 밝힌 연구이다. 이 작품은 정수영이 1796년 무렵, 각 지역을 여행하고 총 16m 길이의 긴 화권으로 표현한 것이다. 이처럼 독립된 경관으로 나뉜 작품을 긴 두루마리의 형태로 계속 이어 붙인 점은 《한임강유람도권》이 특별한 여행이 아닌 여행에서 마주한 주관적 경험을 담았음을 보여준다. 《한임강유람도권》은 장소에 따라 선유와 유산의 두 가지 여행 형태로 구분된다. 선유 여행 지역은 넓게 한강과 임진강 수계에 포함되며, 유산 여행 장소는 북한산과 관악산 일대, 도봉산 지역이다. 정수영은 넓은 범위의 장소를 한 번이 아닌 여러 번에 걸쳐서 여행했음이 확인된다. 특히 한강 수계의 장소에서 그려진 순서가 실제 위치와 다른 점은 이곳이 다른 시간대에 이루어졌을 것이라는 사실을 뒷받침해준다. 한강변 및 남한강변은 두 차례에 걸쳐 여행한 후, 제14장면까지 그렸다. 이 중 1차 선유 여행은 첫 장면에서 제8장면까지, 2차 선유 여행은 제9장면부터 제14장면까지인 점이 확인된다. 화권의 전체 길이 상 절반을 차지하는 양으로 한양에서 가까운 근교 지역이 많이 남겨진 것을 알 수 있다. 한강 수계의 1차 선유 여행은 잘 알려진 곳보다 자신의 여행 과정에서 눈으로 직접 마주한 풍경을 표현하였다. 용문산이나 청심루, 신륵사와 같이 여주 팔경에 속하는 곳도 그렸으나 흔히 명소를 표현하는 방식이 아닌, 자기의 눈에 들어온 잘 그려지지 않았던 장소를 수평시점으로 묘사하였다. 2차 선유 여행에서는 친구의 별업을 그리고, 친구들과 함께 한 순간을 담았다. 이에 더해 1차 여행에서 그린 청심루와 신륵사를 시점과 구도를 달리해 표현하였다. 정수영은 이미 그린 장소도 다른 시점과 각도에서 그리고자 했다. 한강 수계의 1, 2차 선유 여행은 길을 그대로 표현한 곳이 많아 현장감 있는 표현이 돋보이며, 배에서 경물을 수평적 바라보는 정수영의 시선이 잘 느껴진다. 임진강 수계에서는 영평천과 한탄강의 장소가 먼저 그려지고, 화권의 가장 마지막 부분은 임진강 물길에 있는 곳이 그려졌다. 이곳은 다양한 시점으로 표현되었는데, 여기서만 나타나는 특징적인 점이다. 정수영은 영평천에 있었던 장소에서 이어지는 물길의 흐름을 보여주기 위해 부감시점으로 표현했지만, 백운담에서 수평시점으로 바위의 모습을 나타낸 것은 바위에 대한 관심의 표현으로 보인다. 그가 보여주고자 하는 대상에 따라 자유롭게 시점을 사용했음을 알 수 있다. 한탄강변에 위치한 화적연은 주변의 모습과 바위가 한눈에 들어오도록 부감시점이 사용되었다. 임진강변에서는 우화정 주변의 모습이 부감시점과 파노라마 형식으로 잘 드러나며, 이보다 상류에 위치한 토산의 삼성대와 낙화암은 위로 올려다보는 시점[앙시(仰視)]으로 표현되었다. 유산 여행의 장소에서는 주로 정자와 암자가 그려졌다. 먼저 북한산의 재간정은 한강 수계의 선유 여행 경로와 이어지지 않으며, 다른 유산 여행과도 화권에서 분리되어 있기에 이전까지 정확한 장소가 밝혀지기 어려웠다. 필자는 한양 근교 중 재간정이라는 이름을 찾아 북한산 우이동구곡 중 한 곳과 손가장의 재간정으로 추정해보았다. 몇몇 기록들의 재간정에 대한 묘사가 비슷한 것은 두 곳 모두 북한산의 계곡에 위치했기 때문이다. 관악산 일대는 취향정과 일간정 두 정자와 관악산 줄기인 검지산이 그려졌다. 일간정은 관악산에서 잘 알려진 신위의 정자였으나, 정수영은 신위와 연관시키지 않고 객관적인 지리정보만 표기하였다. 취향정과 검지산에서는 담장이 묘사되어 있다. 정수영은 담장을 그리면서 <취향정>에서는 담장 안을 주제로, <검지산>은 담장 밖을 중심으로 다르게 그렸다. 도봉산에서는 망월암과 옥천암 두 암자를 담았다. 이 부분도 어느 곳을 그린 것인지 알려지지 않았으나 임천상의 『궁오집』을 통해 도봉산을 그린 것임을 확인할 수 있다. 다른 화가들이 그린 도봉산은 도봉서원과 만장봉을 부각시켜 드러낸 것에 반해 정수영은 암자 두 곳을 표현했다. <망월암>에는 영산전과 천봉탑비가 그려지고, <옥천암>에서는 대웅전이 정면으로 배치되었다. 정수영은 화면에 암자 건물과 함께 도봉산의 봉우리 모습을 그렸으나 봉우리의 명칭은 적지 않았다. 이를 통해 도봉산의 봉우리를 배경으로만 나타내고자 했던 것이 간취된다. 《한임강유람도권》은 정수영의 개인적인 시각이 잘 반영되어 있으며, 그가 지나온 여행의 흔적들을 담고 있는 기록이라는 점에서도 중요한 의미를 갖는 작품이다.

용주사 <삼세불회도>에 대한 연구는 연대 추정과 양식 분석, 작가 비정, 문헌 해석의 네 가지 핵심 사항이 실증적인 근거와 일관된 논리 아래 모두 일치되도록 정합적으로 설명해야 한다. 그러나 최근의 용주사 <삼세불회도> 연구에서 제기된 19세기 후반 화승 제작설과 1790년에 제작된 원본을 1920년대에 일반화가가 서양화법으로 개채한 것이라는 소론은 실증성과 논리성이 결여되어 성립되기 어렵다. 현존 <삼세불회도>의 축원문(祝願文)은 세자(世子) 책봉을 받지 않은 원자(元子)만 있던 시기였음에도 불구하고 당시의 관습대로 의례적인 삼전(三殿) 축원문을 썼다가 이를 주사로 지우고 다시 "주상전하수만세(主上殿下壽萬歲), 자궁저하수만세(慈宮邸下壽萬歲), 왕비전하수만세(王妃殿下壽萬歲), 세자저하수만세(世子邸下壽萬歲)"라는 특별한 내용과 예외적인 순서로 개서(改書)했는데, 이는 조선후기 불화의 축원문 형식과 내용을 광범위하게 조사하고 정조대 왕실의 전례(典禮)를 면밀히 분석해 볼 때, 현존하는 <삼세불회도>가 1790년의 창건 당시에 그려졌던 원본 진작임을 말해주는 가장 확실한 객관적 근거라고 할 수 있다. 삼세불회도의 형식(形式)과 도상(圖像), 양식(樣式), 미감(美感), 화격(畫格) 등을 18~19세기 불화나 궁중화원 양식과 다각도로 비교분석해 보면 용주사 <삼세불회도>는 1790년경 전후에만 나타나는 특징이 많이 보이기 때문에 축원문(祝願文)에 대한 분석 결과와 일치한다. 특히 18세기 전반까지만 해도 종교적 위상에 따라 존상의 크기가 결정되고 화면 구성도 근하원상(近下遠上)의 고식(古式) 원근법에 따라 관념적, 평면적 조형 위주로 이루어져 왔으나 이 <삼세불회도>는 투시법적 원근법의 논리에 따라 구축된 입체적 공간 속에 존상들을 매우 체계적으로 배치한 뒤 서양화(西洋畫)의 음영식(陰影式) 명암법(明暗法)을 적극적으로 구사하며 흰색 하이라이트와 그림자까지 표현함으로써, 마치 삼세불회(三世佛會)의 장엄한 세계가 눈앞에 실제로 펼쳐져 있는 것 같은 느낌을 준다. 이 투시법적 원근법의 내적 질서와 음영식 명암법의 외적 착시는 골육합체(骨肉合體)처럼 내적으로 긴밀히 연결되어 있는 것이기 때문에 흰색 하이라이트만 떼어내서 후대에 개채된 것이라고 볼 수 있는 것이 결코 아니다. 더구나 이 <삼세불회도> 같은 고도의 서양화법과 높은 화격(畫格)의 창의적 융합은 조선후기 회화사상 김홍도와 이명기, 김득신 같은 정조대의 궁중화원만이 이룩할 수 있는 고도의 양식이자 화격이다. 용주사 주지 등운(等雲)이 창건 이래 용주사에 전해져온 기록을 토대로 『용주사사적(龍珠寺事蹟)』을 정리하며 김홍도가 <삼세불회도>를 그렸다고 기록한 것은 이것이 당시의 역사(歷史)이자 실상이었기 때문이다. 조정의 공식 기록인 『일성록(日省錄)』과 『수원부지령등록(水原府旨令謄錄)』에는 김홍도와 이명기, 김득신이 감동(監董)했다고 기록되어 있지만, 이는 의례 화승(畫僧)들이 그려왔던 불화를 관원 신분의 화원에게 그리도록 하는 것이 엄격한 관직 체제나 운영상 부당한 것이기 때문에 정치적 부담을 피하기 위해 명분상 감동으로 발령한 뒤 실제로는 불화를 직접 그리도록 했던 데서 나타난 결과였다. 영정조대의 어진(御眞) 도사 과정에서 감동으로 불러들인 문인화가 조영석(趙榮祏)과 강세황(姜世晃)에게 국왕이 직접 그릴 것을 요구했던 사례에서 볼 수 있듯이, '감동(監董)'과 '집필(執筆)'은 경우에 따라 경계를 넘나들 수 있는 개념으로서 '감동'이 '집필'을 완전히 배제하는 것은 아니며 겸할 수도 있는 것이다. 그런 점에서 『용주사사적』의 기록은 『일성록』이나 『수원부지령등록』은 물론 황덕순의 「닫집 원문」 기록과도 모순되는 것이 아니라, 행간의 의미를 찾아 복합적으로 읽으면 각각의 맥락과 필요에 따라 동일한 내용의 표리를 다르게 기록해 놓은 것임을 알 수 있다. 이렇게 해석할 때 우리는 용주사 <삼세불회도>의 연대 추정과 양식 분석, 작가 비정, 문헌 해석의 네 가지 핵심 사항을 모두 실증적인 근거와 일관된 논리 아래 정합적으로 설명할 수 있을 것이다.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N.

And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique.

Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology.

The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70${\pm}$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32${\pm}$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500,550,570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500,550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100,300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs.

Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3,000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules.
