Even though the blood pressure is one of the most widely used index for the healthcare monitoring of hypertensive and normotensive persons, there is no non-intrusive measurement method which is commercialized until now. Pulse Arrival Time (PAT) is known that it has close relation with the systolic blood pressure (SBP) and arterial stiffness. In this study, SBP estimation methods by non-intrusive measurement of PAT are suggested. For the unconstrained measurement of PAT, the first method used the electrically non contact electrocardiogram (ENC-ECG) technique and the reflective type of Photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor on the computer mouse. In the second method, ENC-ECG and the air pressure sensor in the seat cushion on a chair were measured. The third method used ECG electrodes and PPG sensors on the toilet seat cover. The validation and regression analysis of the relationship of PAT and SBP are summarized. These methods have considerable errors to be used for all people. But these can be applied for each subject after the parameter customization within acceptable error. So, it is feasible for suggested methods to be used for monitoring of SBP in daily life in non-intrusive way when there is personal identification system of each subject.

The forest slopes cause substantial local changes in soil properties and an increase in soil erosion after extreme rainstorms. The high soil erosion rates on forest slopes need the effective use of growing media to control the soil runoff. Therefore, we prepared six different lignocellulosic growing media such as peat, perlite, and wood meal as the base materials and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), glucomannan, starch, old corrugated containerboard, and computer printout as the additional materials for the prevention of simulated rainfall-induced runoff. The growing media containing old corrugated containerboard efficiently reduced the percentage of soil runoff; however, it could not completely cushion the influence of crust. The best results for plant growth, except in the leaf area, were also obtained with the growing media containing old corrugated containerboard, suggesting an interesting way of paper recycling and an economic benefit for plant or crop growth in forest slope.

Hanbok of dolls can be a good medium that can given with value of traditional cultural products, however, it is not easy to see hanbok and its pattern from dolls. Especially for the case of rag doll which is closely related to the life of users, it has enough value as traditional cultural contents, however, there have been not sufficient studies on its pattern development and classification of form of dolls. Therefore, by classifying the body type of dolls by its pose, this study aims to provide a basic data for the development of hanbok pattern. This study looks into the origin and meaning of dolls and the definition and features of rag doll, then, it collected pictures and data rag dolls produced by 29 domestic companies. Through the data collected, the six different types of dolls, 'Sitting Style', 'Standing Style', 'Lying Style', 'Cushion Style', 'Quadruped Sitting Style', 'Quadruped Standing Style', were classified into form. In the future, I hope the result of this study can be used as useful data for toy manufactures and cultural business in relation to development of rag doll and at the same time as a basic data for development of hanbok pattern development of rag dolls as traditional cultural goods.

Cymbidium mosaic virus (CyMV) was purified from CyMV infected orchid plant leaves by Sephacryl S-500 HR column chromatography. Partial purification was done by solubilization with Triton X-100 (alkylphenoxypolyethoxy ethanol) and precipitation with polyethylene glycol (PEG 6,000) followed by ultracentrifugation on 30% sucrose cushion. Based on the spectrophotometric analysis, 33 mg of CyMV could be obtained form 100 g of CyMV-infected orchid plant leaves. The purified CyMV represented one distinct homogeneous band by SDS-PAGE, and electron microscopy revealed that it was highly homogeneous and not fragmented. Bioassay demonstrated that the purified CyMV had a normal infectivity to Chenopodium amaranticolor and orchid plants. Based on these results, the purification method in this work could be served as an improved method for the purification of CyMV and similar viruses with good yield, high purity and native integrity.

Purpose: SIT(Systematic Inventive Thinking) has been widely used in recent years. The validity of the five thinking tools of SIT is examined, and how to improve the inventive thinking tools is investigated. Methods: Frequency analysis on the usage of the TRIZ 40 inventive principles was used. Inventive thinking tools are derived by eliminating principles with low frequencies and grouping similar principles together. Results: Segmentation, prior action, combining, extraction, cushion in advance, transformation of properties are most frequently used among the 40 principles of TRIZ. The most frequently used principles and similar principles with them are grouped into new inventive thinking tools. Two of them, division and attribute dependency, belong to the 5 thinking tools of SIT, and the others, proactive measures, combination and reversal, do not. Conclusion: The newly identified inventive thinking tools are division, combination, proactive measures, attribute dependency, and reversal. The new five inventive thinking tools are quite efficient since they can cover more than two thirds of the TRIZ 40 inventive principles.

Flexible forming process for sheet material using reconfigurable die is introduced based on numerical simulation. In general, this flexible forming process using the reconfigurable die has been utilized for manufacturing of curved thick plates used for hull structures, architectural structures and so on. In this study, numerical simulation of sheet metal forming process is carried out by using flexible dies model instead of conventional matched die set. The numerical simulation and experimental verification for sheet metal forming process using a flexible forming machine that is more suitable for thick plate forming process are carried out to confirm the appropriateness of the simulation process. As an elastic cushion, urethane pads are utilized using hyperelastic material model in the simulation for smoothing the forming surface which is discrete due to characteristics of the flexile die. In the flexible forming process for sheet metal, effect of a blank holder is also investigated according to blank holding methods. Formability in view of occurrence of dimples is compared with regard to the various punch sizes. Consequently, it is confirmed that the flexible forming for sheet material using urethane pad has enough capability and feasibility for manufacturing of smoothly curved surface instead of conventional die forming method.

Up to October 31, 1975, 34 cases of atrial septal defect, secundum type, operated in this department, were presented. This is 23.2% of all congenital heart diseases, operated utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass, in this department during this period [34 out of 146]. Out of 34 cases, 32 cases are pure ostium secundum type and one case is sinus venosus and another one is ostium secundum type with partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. Six cases of endocardial cushion defect and 3 cases of trilogy of Fallot are excluded in this report. All 34 cases are repaired under direct vision utilizing extracorporeal circulation. Among 34 cases of atrial septal defect, 16 cases are male, and 18 cases are female. Their ages range between 3 to 48 years, but over 59% of the cases are below the ages of 20 years. Thirty-two cases are repaired by direct sutures while 2 cases are repaired with Teflon patches. The average perfusion time is 30 minutes; the shortest 12 and the longest 81 minutes. The number of the defect is single in 31 cases, double in 2 cases, triple in one case. But the associated defect except the main defect are so small as can be closed by simple direct suture. The size of the defect is average $12cm^2$; the smallest 0.7 and the largest $25cm^2$. The surgical mortality is 2 cases [5.6%] and other cases are found to be excellent in the follow up studies.

자동차의 안전도는 전통적으로 정면 충돌시 승객의 보호 정도를 가지고 비 교 된다. 그러나 근래에 와서는 다양한 사고에 의한 승객의 피해를 볼 때 정면 과 더불어 측면 충돌시의 피해를 무시할 수 없는 상태에 이르렀다. sled tests 등을 통해서 정면 뿐만 아니라 측면 충돌의 영향도 파악하고 있으나 정면 충돌보다 측면 충돌에 대해 승개 보호 장치의 개발이 미흡한 것이 현실이다. 본 연구에서는 현실적으로 보다 효과적인 occupant (운전자 및 승객) restraint system을 computer 모의 실험을 통해서 제안하고자 하였다. 기존의 안전시스템인 lap/shoulder belt system과 Air cushion에 의한 실험은 다각도로 연구되었다. 그러나 측면 충돌에서 Air Bag에 의한 충돌 감소 영향은 정면 충돌에 비해 적어지게 되어 상체 측면 보호 장치가 필요하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 운전자의 lap/shoulder belt system과 Air Bag에 의해 구속되는 dummy를 가지고 다양한 측면 충돌 각도 (0 .deg. , 15 .deg. , 30 .deg. , 45 .deg. , 70 .deg. )에서 실험이 수행되었다. 또한 각 충돌각에 대해 기존 Restraint System에 상체 측면 보호 장치(seat wing)를 포함하여 실험을 수행 하였다. 이에 대한 각각의 영향, 그리고 승객 손상도 분석 및 평가를 통하여 보안된 측면 충돌 보호 restraint system의 필요성과 그 효과를 제시하고자 한다. 실험결과 에 의하면 정면보다 측면에서 충돌하였을 경우 보조 구속 시스템인 seat wing으로 인 해 측면보호는 물론 occupant는 정면으로 나가게 개선되어 구속 시스템으로써의 이점이 확대되고 shoulder blet 또는 dummy의 감속을 통제하는 Air Bag의 잠재적인 이점이 더욱 확대되었음을 보여주고 있다. 그러나 design 단계에서 편안함, 안락감 등의 문제들과, 다른 실용적인 면에 대한 계속적인 연구가 필요하다.

The motion of a floating OWC chamber in waves is studied taking account of fluctuating air pressure in the air chamber. An atmospheric pressure drop occurs across the upper opening of the chamber which causes not only hydrodynamic but also pneumatic added mass and damping forces to the floating chamber. A velocity potential in the water due to the free surface oscillating pressure patch is added to the conventional radiation-diffraction potential problem. the potential problem inside the chamber is formulated by making use of the Green integral equation associated with the Rankine Green function wile the outer problem with the Kelvin Green function. The two integral equations are solved simultaneously by making use of a matching boundary condition at the lower opening of the chamber to the outer water region. The chamber motion in the frequency domain is calculated for various values of parameters related to the atmospheric pressure drop. The present methods can also be sued for the analysis of air-cushion vehicle motion as well as for the design of a floating OWC wave energy absorber.
