  • 본 연구는 최근 전쟁과 기후변화, 지정학적 불안이 고조되는 가운데 기술혁신의 가속화 등으로 글로벌 경영환경의 급변하고 있다. 이에 따라 산업생태계의 변동성, 복잡성, 모호성, 불확실성이 지속적 확장으로 미래에 대한 예측이나 계획이 어려워지고 있다. 이에 따라 조직은 생존전략에 의해 한계사업정리, 해고 등 불가피한 구조조정을 진행하고 있다. 이에 따라 직장인들은 의도치 않게 직장을 잃을 수 있다는 불안요인이 높아지는 가운데 지속적 경제활동을 위한 대안으로 창업을 모색하고 있다. 창업으로 전환하는 과정에서 직장인의 자기결정성이 어떠한 경로를 통해 영향을 미치는지 검증하고자 하였다. 본 연구를 위해 온라인 설문조사로 310명의 유효 data를 기반으로 SPSS와 AMOS 통계패키지를 활용하였다. 결과를 요약하면, 첫째, 직장인의 자기결정성은 창업의지에 유의한 영향을 미치지 못했다. 다만 자기결성성이 혁신성과 창업지원정책인식에 정(+)의 영향관계를 확인하였다. 이 결과는 창업에 바로 도전하기보다는 장기적인 인생경로 관점에서 혁신적인 경험을 축적하고 창업지원정책인식도를 높여서 단계적으로 준비하려는 심리가 작동된 것을 판단된다. 둘째, 혁신성이 창업의지에 정(+)의 영향을 확인하였다. 또한 창업지원정책인식이 창업의지에 정(+)의 영향을 확인하였다. 이는 정부의 다양한 창업지원정책인식은 창업을 고려할 때 체감도가 높다는 인식이 반영된 것으로 판단된다. 셋째, 혁신성이 창업지원정책인식에 정(+)의 영향을 확인하였다. 이는 예비창업자들이 혁신성을 발현하여 새로운 아이디어의 실현을 위해서는 창업지원정책인식의 실효성이 반영된 것으로 판단된다. 넷째, 혁신성과 창업지원정책인식은 자기결성정과 창업의지 간의 관계를 매개하였고, 창업지원정책인식은 혁신성과 창업의지 간의 관계를 매개하는 것을 확인하여 창업의지에 중요한 요소임을 확인하였다. 창업관련 선행연구에서 학생들을 대상으로 주류를 이루고 있지만, 경제활동의 비중이 높은 직장인을 대상으로 한 연구대상의 차별성과 연구범위 확대 측면에서 학문적 가치가 있고, 자기결정정성의 동기만으로는 창업의지를 자극되지 않는다는 점과 혁신성과 창업지원정책의 완전매개효과 측면을 고려할 때 정부의 인적, 물적 지원정책 등의 실무적 측면에서 시사하는 바가 크다. 본 연구에서 표본의 선정 및 분석과정에서 동일방법편의 문제가 완전히 해소되지 않은 한계성과 창업의지가 형성되어 창업행동으로 전환되는지에 대한 추가적인 확정연구의 필요성이 있다. 선행연구에서 다소 부족했던 인간심리 동기와 창업 간의 관련성을 다룬 학문적 및 실무적 측면에서 직장인의 창업 전환은 개인의 경제적 안정과 국가적으로 일자리 창출의 기대효과가 예상되며 지속적인 연구의 필요성과 가치성이 있다고 판단된다.

  • 수도저위(水稻低位) 생산력(生産力)의 원인구명(原因究明)에 관(關)한 영양생리학적연구(營養生理적硏究)로 여러 가지 생육조건하(生育條件下)에서 품종별(品種別) 양분흡수(養分吸收) 및 동화기능(同化機能)과 양분(養分)의 체내(體內)에서의 이행양상(移行樣相)을 추구(追究)하는 한편 고수량지(高收量地) 벼와 저수량지(低收量地) 벼에 대(對)한 생육시기별(生育時期別)로 양분(養分)의 흡수(吸收) 체내무기양분(體內無機養分)과 수량(收量) 및 수량구성요소(收量構成要素)와의 관계(關係) 등(等)을 추구(追究)하여 저수량지(低收量地) 벼의 영양생리적(營養生理的) 저수요인(低收要因)을 밝히고저 본연구(本硏究)를 수행(遂行)하였던 바 그 결과(結果)를 요약(要約)하면 다음과같다. 1. 양분(養分)의 흡수력(吸收力)은 품종(品種)에 따라 차이(差異)가 있으며 인산(燐酸) 및 가리(加里)의 흡수력(吸收力)이 강(强)한 품종(品種)은 구사부에, 진흥(振興)이며 낮은 품종(品種)은 팔달(八達)이었다. 2. 근(根)의 ${\alpha}-naphthylamine$의 산화력(酸化力)과 인산(燐酸)의 흡수력(吸收力)과는 유의적(有意的)인 상관관계(相關關係)가 있으며 산화력(酸化力)이 높으면 인산(燐酸)의 흡수(吸收)가 증대(增大)되었바. 3, 탄소동화력( 炭素同化力)은 품종(品種)에 따라 차이(差異)가 있으며 노인도(老人稻), 구대내조욱(九大耐潮組) 3호(號), 수원(水原)82호(號), 진흥(振興) 등은 강(强)하고 대구조(大脚租), 관옥(關玉), 육우(陸羽) 132호(號)가 약(弱)하였다. 4, 질소(窒素)의 증시(增施)는 소비(少肥)에 비(比)하여 동화량(同化量)은 증가(增加) 되나 등화산물(同化産物)의 이삭으로의 이전(移轉)은 적었다5. 정상(正常) 생육(生育)한 벼에 비(比)하여 인산(燐酸), 가리(加里) 및 마그네슘이 결핍(缺達)된 벼는 전탄소동화량이(全炭素同化量)이 정상(正常) 벼 100에 비(比)하여 40이하(以下)로 현저(顯著)히 낮으며 그 순서(順序)는 Mg>P>K이고, 동화물(同化物)의 이전(移轉)에 장해(障害)가 큰 것은 K>Mg>P의 순(順)이었다. 6. 고수량지(高收量地) 벼는 저수량지(低收量地) 벼에 비(比)하여 총건물(總乾物) 생산량(生産量)이 현저(顯著)하게 많고 특(特)히 유수형성기(幼穗形成期) 이후(以後)에 증가량(增加量)이 더욱 현저(顯著)하였다. 7. 고수량지(高收量地) 벼는 출수기(出穗期)에 옆면적(葉面積)이 최고(最高)에 달(達)하였다가 그 이후(以後) 완만(緩慢)하게 줄어지나 저수량지(低收量地) 벼는 출수이전(出穗以前)에 엽면적(葉面積)이 최고(最高)에 달(達)하였다가 출수이후(出穗以後)에 급격(急激)히 감소(減少)되며 그 원인(原因)은 하엽(下葉)의 조기고사(早期枯死)에 기인(起因)되었다. 8. 고수량지(高收量地) 벼는 저수량지(低收量地) 벼에 비(比)하여 생육초기(生育初期)에는 투과광율(透過光率)이 높고 생육후기(生育後期)에 낮았으나 투과광율대(透過光率對) 엽면적비(葉面積比)는 고수량지(高收量地) 벼에서 높았다. 9. 순동화량(純同化量)은 저수량지(低收量地) 벼에 비(比)하여 고수량지(高收量地)벼에서 많았으며 이는 또한 엽면적(葉面積)이 증가(增加)됨에 따라 감소(減少)되었다. .10. 고수량지(高收量地) 벼는 저수량지(低收量地) 벼에 비(比)하여 유수형성기(幼穗形成期) 이후(以後) 체내질소(體內窒素), 가리(加里) 및 규산(珪酸)의 함유율(含有率)이 높으면서 $K_2O/N$, $SiO_2/N$ 비(比)가 높았다.11. 저수량지(低收量地) 벼는 고수량지(高收量地) 벼에 비(比)하여 출수기(出穗期)에 보유(保有)된 질소(窒素), 인산(燐酸), 가리(加里) 및 마그네슘등이 출수이후(出穗以後) 이삭으로의 이행율(移行率)이 높았다. 이는 저수량지(低收量地) 벼가 생육후기(生育後期)에 양분(養分)의 흡술량(吸收量)이 부족(不足)하여 체내(體內) 저장양분(貯藏養分)이 재이동(再移動)되기 때문이며 따라서 하엽(下葉)은 양분부족(養分不足)으로 조길고사(早期桔死)가 많아지는 것으로추정(推定)되었다. 12. 고수량지(高收量地) 벼는 질소흡수(窒素吸收)가 전생육기간(全生育期間)을 통(通)하여 완만(緩慢)하며 출수이후(出穗以後)에도 흡수량(吸收量)이 많으나 저수량지(低收量總) 벼는 출수이전(出穗以前)에 많고 출수이후(出濾以後)는 거의 흡수(吸收)되지 않았다. 13. 출수기(出穗期)의 체내(體內) 질소(窒素), 가리(加里) 함유율(含有率)과 수량(收豊)과는 현저(顯著)한 정(正)의 상관(相關)이 성립(成立)되였으며 수확기(收獲期)의 가리(加里), 규산함유율(珪酸含有率) 그리고 $K_2O/N$, $SiO_2/N$과 수량(收量)과도 현저(顯著)한 정(正)의 상관관계(相關關係)가 성립(成立)되었다. 14. 출수기(出穗期)에 보유(保有)된 전분(澱粉)이 이삭으로의 이전(移轉)은 고수량지(高收量地) 벼가 약(約) 10%인데 반(反)하여 저수량지(低收量地) 벼는 약(約) 40%로 많았다. 따라서 저수량지(高收量地) 벼는 출수(出穗) 이후(以後) 동화의존도(同化依存度)가 높았다. 15. 고수량지(高收量地) 벼는 저수량지(低收量地) 벼에 비(比)하여 질소(窒素), 인산(燐酸), 가리(加里), 규산(珪酸) 및 망간의 흡수량(吸收量)이 현저(顯著)하게 많았고 생육시기별(生育時期別) 흡수량(吸收量)의 차이(差異)는 유수형성기(幼穗形成期) 전후(前後)에 현저(顯著)하였다. 16. 수확기(收穫期)의 질소(窒素), 인산(燐酸), 가리(加里), 석탄(石炭), 마그네슘, 규산(珪酸) 및 망간의 총흡수량(總吸收量)과 수량(收量)과는 고도(高度)의 정(正)의 상관관계(相關關係)가 인정(認定)되었다. 17. 수확기(收穫期)에 질소(窒素), 인산(燐酸), 가리(加里), 석탄(石炭), 마그네슘 및 규산(珪酸)의 흡수량(吸收量)과 수당입수간(穗當粒熱間)에, 질소(窒素) 및 가리(加里)의 흡수량(吸收量)과 수수(穗數)와는 유의적(有意的)인 정(正)의 상관관계(相關關係)가 성립(成立)되었다.

  • 산원지(山元地) 임목가격(林木價格)의 결정(決定)에 있어서 중요(重要)한 문제(問題)는 평가(評價)된 임목가격(林木價格)이 객관성(客觀性)을 가져야 한다는 점이다. 임업경영(林業経営)이 정상적(正常的)인 상태(狀態)에 있고 국내(國內) 생산목재(生産木材)에 의(依)하여 목재시장(木材市場)이 수요(需要)와 공급(供給)의 균형(均衡)을 이루게 된다면 임목(林木)의 가격(價格)은 시장(市場)의 자율기능(自律機能)에 의(依)해서 결정(決定)될 것이다. 그려나 현재(現在) 국내목재시장(國內木材市場)은 도입외재(導入外材)에 의(依)해서 가격(價格)의 형성(形成)이 좌우(左右)되는 상태(狀態)이므로, 목재(木材)의 생산(生産)에 관여(関與)되는 제투자비(諸投資費)에 의해서 가격(價格)이 결정(決定)되지 않고 채취비용(採取費用)과 목재상인(木材商人)의 기업이윤(企業利潤)을 고려(考慮)한 금액(金額)으로 산원지(山元地)의 목재가격(木材價格)이 결정(決定)되고 있다. 한편 임목(林木)의 평가(評價)는 기업용자산(企業用資産)의 평가(評價), 손실보상액(損害補償額)의 사정(査定) 및 과세표준액(課稅標準額) 등(等)을 결정(決定)하기 위해서 시행(施行)되고 있다. 특(特)히 삼림(森林)의 손해보험(損害保険)이 실시(実施)되는 경우에는 보험가액(保険價額) 사정(査定)에 임목(林木)의 평가(平價)는 절대적으로 필요(必要)하다. 이 경우에 보통(普通) 유령임목(幼令林木)은 비용가격(費用價格)으로, 유령기(幼令期)와 성숙기(成熟期) 중간(中間)의 임목(林木)은 Glaser 방식(方式)으로, 성숙기(成熟期)에 있는 임목(林木)은 시장역산가격(市場逆算價格)으로 평가(平價)될 것이다. 그러나 이와 같은 방법(方法)으로 평가(平價)할 때에 가격(價格)의 객관성(客觀性)이 확보(確保)되지 않는다면 임목(林木)의 평가(平價)는 의미(意味)가 없게 된다. 따라서 본(本) 연구(研究)는 목재생산(木材生産)에 관여(関與)되는 생산비용(生産費用)을 분석(分析)하고 기업자(企業者)의 적정이윤(適正利潤)을 파악(把握)하여 임목(林木)의 평가(平價)가 객관성(客觀性)있게 이루어 질 수 있도록 시도되었다. 1. 조사대상지역(調査対象地域) 및 목재시장(木材市場)의 동향(動向) 조사대상지역(調査対象地域)은 경주시(慶州市) 외곽지역(外廓地域)에 소재(所在)한 두 지역(地域)의 인공림지(人工林地)로, 시장여건(市場與件)은 동일(同一)하나 임상(林相) 및 목재생산(木材生産) 여건(與件)은 서로 상이(相異)하였다. 즉 암곡지역(暗谷地域)의 임목축적(林木蓄積)과 목림생산여건(木林生産與件)은 황룡지역(黃龍地域) 보다 훨씬 양호(良好)한 상태(狀態)로 황룡지역(黃龍地域)은 암곡지역(暗谷地域)에 비(比)하여 생산비용(生産費用)이 57% 정도 더 소요(所要)되었다. 또한 조사시기(調査時期) 당시(當時)의 경주시(慶州市) 임목가격(林木価格)은 서울의 원목시장가격(原木市場價格)보다 9~15% 정도 낮은 가격(価格)으로 형성(形成)되고 있었다. 2. 생산작업공정(生産作業工程) 목재(木材)의 생산(生産)을 위한 비용지출(費用支出)은 생산작업공정(生産作業工程)과 직결(直結)된다. 본(本) 연구(研究)에서는 현지(現地)의 도급인부(都給人夫)들이 제시(提示)한 공정표(工程表)를 적용(適用)하였다. 이 작업공정표(作業工程表)는 국유림산물(國有林産物) 매각예정가격(賣却豫定價格) 사정기준상(査定基準上)의 표준공정표(標準工程表)와 서울대학교(大學校) 광양(光陽) 연습림(演習林)에서 조사(調査)된 침엽수(針葉樹) 인공림(人工林)의 벌채작업공정조사표(伐採作業工程調査表)의 중간정도(中間程度)로 구성(構成)되어 있다. 생산작업(生産作業)의 능률(能率)이 목재생산비용(木材生産費用)의 과다(過多)에 중요(重要)한 관건(関件)이 되고 있다. 따라서 능률적(能率的)인 작업(作業)을 위해서 숙련(熟練)된 임업노동자(林業勞動者)의 확보(確保)가 필요(必要)하며 작업조건(作業條件)의 개선(改善)이 시급한 과제(課題)임을 알 수 있다. 3. 생산비용(生産費用) 및 기업자이윤(企業者利潤) 임목(林木)의 생산비용중(生産費用中) 가장 큰 비중(比重)을 차지하는 부분(部分)은 임목(林木)을 임지(林地)에서 시장(市場)까지 반출(搬出)하는 비용(費用)이다. 즉 암곡지역(暗谷地域)은 반출비용(搬出費用)이 벌목비용(伐木費用)에 비(比)하여 16.7%를 상회하고 있고, 황룡지역(黃龍地域)은 48% 상회하고 있다. 한편 벌목비용(伐木費用)은 하곡(下由) 집재비(集材費), 벌도비(伐倒費), 조재비(造材費), 박피비(剝皮費)의 순서(順序)로 구성(構成)되어있고 기타(其他) 생산비용(生産費用)은 임도신설(林道新設) 보수비(補修費), 관리(管理) 운반비(運搬費)와 상하차비(上下車費) 및 제경비(諸経費)의 순서(順序)로 구성(構成)되어 있다. 기업자(企業者)의 이윤율(利潤率)은 보통(普通) 위험률(危険率)을 포함(包含)하여 15% 정도로 합의(合議)되고 있으나 전체적(全体的)인 고금리(高金利) 추세(推勢)에 따라 임업(林業)에 관계(関係)되는 이자율(利子率) 및 이윤(利潤)의 폭(幅)도 점차 상승(上昇)하는 경향(傾向)이다. 또한 임업(林業)이 전체산업중(全体産業中) 차지하는 가중치(加重値)의 비율(比率)은 약(約) 2.41%에 해당(該當)하며, 금융기관(金融機関)의 자금지원(資金支援)은 극히 미미한 상태(狀態)로 전체(全体) 대출금중(貸出金中) 월간(月間) 약(約) 0.1% 정도로 차지하고 있을 뿐이다. 4. 평가액(評價額)의 사정(査定) 임목(林木)의 평가(評價)는 직선적(直線的)인 방법(方法)과 할인식방법(割引式方法)인 시장역산가방식(市場逆算價方式)으로 각각(各各) 계산(計算)되었다. 모든 변수(変数)를 대입(代入)하여 평가(評價)의 객관성(客觀性)을 확보(確保)하였으며, 그 결과(結果) 상기(上記)의 두가지 방식(方式)은 큰 차이(差異)를 나타내지 않았으나 지역간(地域間)의 가격차이(價格差異)는 상당(相當)히 큰 폭(幅)으로 발생(発生)하였다. 따라서 임목(林木)의 가격사정(價格査定)을 위해서는 변수(変数)가 객관성(客觀性)만 가지고 있다면 직선적(直線的)인 방법(方法)이나 할인식방법(割引式方法) 중 어떤 방법(方法)으로 계산(計算)되어도 큰 차이(差異)가 없는 객관적(客間的) 가격(價格)을 얻을 수 있다.

  • 소맥의 조숙품종육성을 위하여는 춘파성품종의 조숙인자를 추파성품종에 도입하는 것이 중요한 과제이므로 춘추파성 소맥품종의 일장과 온도조건에 따른 출수반응 및 출수기를 지배하는 생리적 요인의 구명과 출수기의 유전에 관한 지견을 얻고저 본실험을 실시하였다. 수원 작물시험장 전작포장 및 온실에서 1970년부터 조숙품종 Yecora F70, 중숙품종 수계 169호, 육성 003 만숙품종 장광, Bezostaia, Sturdy, Blueboy 등 8개품종을 상호교배하여 1972년부터 1973년에 온실 및 초자실을 이용하여 양친과 Diallel cross F$_1$을 고온장일, 고온단일, 저온장일, 저온단일의 4처리조건 및 포장조건에서 3조합의 F$_1$, F$_2$, BC$_1$, BC$_2$ 및 양친들은 고온단일조건에서 F$_1$, F$_2$ 9조합 및 그 양친은 포장에서 각각 재배 실험하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 춘화 처리후의 주요엽수는 일장 및 온도조건에 관계없이 일정하였으나 주간의 출엽속도에만 영향을 주었으며 춘파성품종은 추파성품종보다 주간엽수가 적었다. 2. 지엽전개일수의 일장 및 온도반응은 출수속도에 의하여 결정되며 일장과 온도에 따른 출엽속도의 차이는 하위엽보다 상위엽에서 컸다. 3. 춘화처리후의 출수기에 대한 생리적 요인은 일장반응과 순수조만생이며, 출수일수의 품종간 변이는 고온단일에서 가장 크고 포장조건에서 가장 적었으며 고온장일, 저온장일, 저온단일을 비슷하였다. 4. 일장차이에 의한 출수일수의 품종간 반응은 장광, Parker가 크고, Yecora F70, 수계 169 호 등 기타 품종들은 비교적 적었으며, 장광, Parker는 단일이 의하여 출수일수가 크게 지연되는 감광성 품종이었다. 5. 일장반응은 온도의 영향을 크게 받고 출수일수의 품종간차이는 저온일 빼보다 고온일 때 현저히 나타났다. 6. 온도차이에 의한 출수일수의 품종간 반응은 비슷하였으며, 어떠한 품종이라도 고온에 의하여 출수가 촉진되고 저온에 의해서 지연되었다.7. 출수일수에 대한 유전은 일장 및 온도조건이 변하여도 조숙은 만숙에 대하여 부분우성이었으며, 우성의 정도는 단일에서 크고 장일에서 적었다. 8. 고온장일조건에서 출수일수의 품종간 차이는 수수조만성의 차이라고 할 수 있으며, 춘파성품종인 Yecora F70은 추파성품종에 대하여 우성정도가 컸고 추파성품종간에는 우성정도가 없거나 적었다. 이때의 유효 우성 유전자수는 1쌍의 대립유전자에 의해서 지배되나 다소의 미동유전자가 관여되었다. 9. 출수일수에 관여하는 비감광성은 감광성에 대하여 우성단인자차에 의하여 지배되었고 저온조건에서는 단일감응성의 발현정도가 둔화 또는 억제되었다. 10. 순수 조만성과 단일감응성은 모두 조숙이 만숙에 대하여 부분우성으로 표현되었다. 11. 출수기에 관여하는 감온성의 품종간반응은 대립유전자 및 비대립유전자의 지배를 받으며 같은 대립유전자를 가진 품종군에서는 비감온성이 감온성에 대하여 우성으로 표현되나 일장 및 순수 조만성보다는 그 정도가 미미하다. 12. 장광과 수계 169호 사이에는 감광성에 관여하는 1쌍의 대립인자 ee와 EE에 의하여 조만이 결정되었고, 장광과 Yecora F70사이에는 ee, enen과 EE, EnEn의 2쌍의 대립인자에 의하여 지배된다고 추정되었다. 이때 EE와 EnEn는 조숙방향에 상가적으로 작용하여 단일조건하에서는 EE의 효과가 EnEn의 효과보다 크다. 장일 조건하에서는 EE의 효과는 나타나지 않고 EnEn효과만 발현된다. En과 en 사이에 우열관계는 E와 e 사이보다 적고 상가적 작용을 하고 있다고 본다. 13. 본 실험의 포장조건에서는 2개정도의 우성주동유전자를 가정할 수 있으나 생육초기의 저온단일과 생육후기의 고온장일의 영향으로 2개의 우성유전자 표현이 불확실하며 F$_2$분리에 있어서는 일장 및 온도의 영향과 미동유전자의 영향으로 연속변이를 하였다. 14. 출수일수의 유전력은 0.51-0.72로서 어느 조건에서나 높은 경향으로 초기세대의 선발효과가 큰 것으로 인정되었으며, 환경에 의하여 다소의 차이가 있어 장일보다는 단일에서 유전력이 컸고, 저온보다는 고온에서 큰 경향이었다. 또한 감광성의 유전력은 0.86-0.76으로 컸으나 온도효과의 유전력은 적었다. 15. 출수기가 빨라지므로서 1수입수, 천입중, 수량이 낮아지는 상관관계를 보여 조숙다수성 품종선발이 어렵다는 결과를 보였으나 수수와는 부의 상관(유의성은 없음)을 보여 조숙품종으로서 수수형 품종을 선발하면 수량을 올릴수 있는 약간의 가능성도 보였다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 기술혁신형중소기업(이노비즈)의 건전한 성장발전을 위하여 기업의 중요한 전략적 자원으로 인식되고 있는 기술혁신능력과 기술사업화능력이 시장정보지향성을 매개로 경영성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 기술혁신형중소기업의 효율적인 경영관리와 정부의 정책방향에 시사점을 제공하고자 하는데 있다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위하여 우리나라 기술혁신형 중소기업를 대상으로 오슬로매뉴얼과 선행연구를 토대로 연구개발능력, 기술축적능력, 기술혁신체제를 기술혁신능력으로, 제품화능력, 생산화능력, 마케팅능력을 기술사업화능력으로 구성하고, 이들 요인들이 시장정보지향성을 매개 변수로 경영성과에 미치는 영향을 실증분석을 통하여 검증하였다. 연구결과에 의하면, 제품경쟁력 향상과 같은 기술의 상업적 성과와 직접적인 관련이 있는 경영성과는 기술혁신체제나 생산화능력, 마케팅능력 등의 경영관리적 측면에서의 능력이 상대적으로 큰 영향을 미치며 기술적 성과를 의미하는 신기술/신제품개발 성과는 연구개발능력, 기술축적능력, 제품화능력 등 공학적 측면에서의 능력이 상대적으로 큰 영향을 미친다는 것을 보여 주었다. 또한 시장정보지향성과 관련하여 신기술/신제품개발 등의 기술적 성공을 위해서는 조직내부에서의 정보확산 수준이 상대적으로 크게 부각되고 있고, 제품경쟁력 향상 등 상업적 성공을 이루기 위해서는 정보에 대한 반응수준이 더 크게 요구된다는 점을 함축하고 있다.

  • 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.

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. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results.

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. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. 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 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.
