To determine the test gases for gas appliances of new gas group, the interrelation between gas interchangeability, including thermal efficiency, of 13A gas appliances and present 13A test gases was experimentally investigated. The test results show that the Wobbe indices in the case of incomplete combustion and the flame lifting limit gas for the new gas group are respectively 2% higher than the upper limit and 1% lower than the lower limit of the Wobbe index range. The most suitable composition of R gas is 96 mol% of methane and 4 mol% of propane; LNG could be also used as R gas. Further, analysis results showed that the hydrogen concentration of flash back limit gas could be lowered from 30 vol% to 23 vol%.

The use of medical devices is increasing due to the development of medical technology. Among medical devices, it is often used in the human body for graft and treatment. Therefore, in medical institutions, various sterilization methods according to the type and material of medical devices are applied to prevent infection. Hydrophosphite (HA) materials are the most popular in bone grafts. We would like to present a sterilization method using Q-switch Nd:YAG laser with high output energy among non-ionizing radiation suitable for small medical devices. In this study, sterilization power was most ideally shown at UV wavelengths of 1.5 W, 266 nm, and 10 pulses. Different wavelength bands; infrared and visible light; showed passive sterilization, and ultraviolet A and C showed differences in sterilization according to the pulse. In laser sterilization were differences that found according to the wavelength bands and pulses.

This paper studied on the development of standardization tester for the field inspection of the rate of rise spot type heat detector. It was to find the problems of the 4 type's testers such as A type (electric bulb type), B type (halogen lamp type), C type (heating coil type), D type (fumigator type) which were used to check of the rate of rise spot type heat detector in inspection for the fire protection. To identify those problems, this paper described about the development of standardization tester for the field inspection of the rate of rise spot type heat detector and that have the function of auto setting temperature more $30^{\circ}C$ higher than room temperature and keep the constant temperature. And keep the constant wind velocity of 85cm/sec. Performance verification results of the developed prototype that had same conditions such as the sensitivity test conditions at the type approval of the rate of rise spot type heat detector.

This paper presents the design and implementation of a video processor for the device of need TV-OUT function. The designed video processor satisfies the standard conditions of ITU-R(International Telecommunication Union-Radiocommunication) BT.470. Also, in order to apply various digital device, we concentrate upon hardware complexity. ITU-R BT.470 can be classified as NTSC, PAL or SECAM. NTSC and PAL use QAM(Quardarature Amplitude Modulation) to transmit color difference signals and SECAM uses FM(Frequency Modulation). FM must have antic-cloche filter but filter recommended by ITU-R BT.470 is not easy to design due to sharpness of the frequency response. So this paper proposes that the special quality of anti-cloche filter is transformed easy to design and the modulation method is modified to be identical with the result required at standard. The processor can control power consumption by output mode to apply portable digital devices. The proposed processor is experimentally demonstrated with ALTERA FPGA APEX20KE EP20K1000EBC652-3 device and SAMSUNG LCD-TV.

Purpose: This study was investigated consumers' and optometrists' perception about spectacle frame in Busan and Ulsan to find on the right progress direction for conversion of spectacle frame into medical devices. Methods: 137 consumers surveyed in Busan and Ulsan and 100 optometrist surveyed in 'Busan continuing education of optometrist' filled in a questionnaire, then we compared and analyzed the results. Results: The 79% (108 people) of consumers and 94% (94 people) of optometrists agreed to conversion into medical devices of spectacle frame. The reason was shown that the consumer expected to improve the optometrist reliability and the optometrist expected to improve the optometrist professionalism. While, the 21% (29 people) consumer and 6% (6 people) optometrist opposed to conversion of spectacle frame into medical devices. The reason was revealed that the consumers were concerned about increase of medical insurance cost and the optometrists were concerned about that the spectacle frames can also be sold by medical device stores, not only by optical shops. Conclusions: The result of the survey was shown that the most of consumers and optometrists in Busan and Ulsan agreed on perception toward a conversion of spectacle frame into medical devices. But, we are considered that consumers' and optometrists' active attention and support are needed, with sequential implementation reflecting the concerns for this.

Dengue virus transmission is a viral infection disease between humans and Aedes mosquitoes. Dengue is ubiquitous throughout the tropics and subtropical zones, where 1/3 of the global population live. The weather in Korea is also changing to subtropical weather, resulting in increased vulnerable Korean population to dengue virus transmission. It is important to control and prevent the dengue risk with track-recording & monitoring system. It is also required to have the control system to treat and monitor dengue patients with various cases such as regions, ages, genders according to the track-record of the disease. In this paper, we developed a Dengue Control & Prevention System, which can monitor and control dengue outbreaks in real-time with in-vitro diagnostic devices. Dengue Control & Prevention System is composed of in-vitro diagnostic device, which is a fluorescent immunoassay, and real-time monitoring system. In the future, we expect that our Dengue Control & Prevention System can be upgraded to have various disease information from Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency for government policies and diseases control in Korea.

Recently, ultra-wideband(UWB) technology based on the transmission of short duration pulses has gained much interest for its application to wireless communications. Various wireless communication and wireless broadcast will require more efficient use of frequency. Cognitive radio technology is an intelligent technology which can sense the spectrum environment and adaptively adjust the parameters for wireless transmission. In this paper, by using Cognitive UWB, the spectrum efficiency of the transmission channels is largely improved, and the interference between the other systems can be effectively avoided.

We have developed an electronic aids, called SmartWand, which can help visually impaired people walk safely and tell them an object's color and environmental brightness SmartWand can inform visually impaired people of the dangerous obstacles around which they can't notice by the white cane such as a large panel with supporting poles on the street. Especially we have lmproved the previous version of SmartWand by reflecting the result of user study.

최근 홈 네트워킹 기술과 연동된 가전제어 및 서비스에 대한니즈가 증대�� 있어 다양한 디지털 가전기기가 개발되고 있다. 특히 국내외적으로 많은 홈 네트워크 관련 제품들이 생산되고 있으며 이는 궁극적으로 이기종 네트워크 환경에서 유무선 통신의 구된 없이 다양한 기기를 네트워크에 접속할 수 있는 서비스를 제공한다. 기존 중 저속 전력선 모뎀의 경우 홈 네트워크에서 전력선으로 들어오는 신호를 수신하기 위해 전력소모가 가장 많은 Main Processor에서는 항상 Wake-On 상태를 유지하고 있다. 하지만 중 저속 전력선 모뎀의 송수신을 관장하는 Main Processor를 보게 되면 크게 통신 프로토콜을 관장하는 Main CPU와 실제 전력선 신호 송수신을 관장하는 PLC Core로 나뉠 수 있다. 홈네트워크상에 전력선으로 들어오는 신호를 수신하기 위해서는 PLC Core는 항상 Wake-On 상태를 유지해야 하지만 Main CPU의 경우는 전력소모를 최소화하기 위해 Idle 상태를 유지하더라도 Host Controller와의 Stand-by & Wake On 신호와 인터럽트 발생기능을 이용하게 되면 전력선 통신에 문제가 없이 대기모드를 지원하는 저전력 전력선 통신 모뎀 개발이 가능하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 저전력 대기모드를 지원하는 전력선 통신 모뎀 개발에 관한 연구를 하고자 한다.
