오늘날 멀티미디어 정보의 양이 매우 빠른 속도로 증가함에 따라 비디오 데이타베이스에 대한 효율적인 관리는 더욱 중요한 의미를 가지게 되었다. 그리고 초고속 정보통신망과 디지털 기술의 발전은 비디오 데이타를 통신 및 컴퓨터와 결합하여 새로운 멀티미디어로 발전하고 있으며, 인터넷 방송, 주문형 비디오(VOD) 등에 크게 활용하고 있다. 비디오는 대용량적인 특성과 비정형적인 특성을 가지고 있으므로 신속하고 효율적으로 비디오를 검색하기 위해 비디오의 정확한 특징정보를 추출하여 비디어 데이타베이스를 구축하여야 한다. 비디오 데이타베이스는 텍스트 기반의 전통 데이타베이스와는 다른 모델링 방법과 검색방법을 사용한다. 따라서, 비디오 데이타베이스에서의 검색속도와 정확도를 향상시키기 위해서는 새로운 비디오 데이타베이스 생성기법과 효율적인 검색기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 비디오의 의미적 구조와 사전 제작지식정보를 구조적으로 축적할 수 있는 내용기반 비디오 데이타베이스의 구축 방안과 생성기법을 제시하였다. 그리고 제안된 비디오 데이타베이스의 구축 방안과 생성기법을 사용하여 새로운 인터넷 방송 프로그램 컨텐츠 제작에 활용할 수 있는 비디오 데이타베이스를 구현하였다. 이를 위해 비디오 분할과 대표키 프레임 추출 시 비디오의 의미적 구조와 사전 제작지식정보의 상호관계를 기반으로 하여 비디오 데이타의 특징정보를 추출하고, 검색할 수 있도록 주석기반 검색과 내용기반 검색을 통합한 비디오 인덱싱 방법을 제시하였다. 통합된 비디오 인덱싱 방법은 비디오의 하위 레벨에 표현된 내용기반 메타데이타 유형과 비디오의 특징정보 추출이 어려운 상위 레벨에 표현된 주석기반 메타데이타 유형을 동시에 이용하므로 컨텐츠 검색의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 마지막으로 본 논문에서 제시한 비디오 데이타베이스는 비디오의 의미적 구조와 사전 제작지식정보를 구조적으로 축적하여 데이타베이스를 구축하므로 정확한 인터넷 방송 컨텐츠 정보의 축적관리와 구축작업의 효율화가 가능하며, 또한 인터넷 방송 컨텐츠 제작 시 정보공유 및 재이용이 가능하므로 새로운 컨텐츠 제작의 효율성을 높일 수 있다.

MDCT의 등장과 함께 병적 증상이 없는 개인이 조기검진을 위해 CT검사를 하는 예가 꾸준히 증가하고 있다. 이러한 검사의 임상적 효용성과 방사선에 의한 암 발생위험에 대한 여러 가지 논란을 살펴보았다. 1. 저선량흉부CT(LDCT)를 이용한 폐암의 조기 검진 효용성을 보기 위해 설계된 무작위배정대조검사(randomized controlled trial)인 NLST(National Lung Screening Trial)의 분석 결과, CT선별검사가 선별검사를 하지 않은 그룹의 사망률 1.67%를 1.33%로, 20% (p=0.004) 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. CT선별검사군에서 양성결과를 보인 사람의 96.4%는 위양성(false-positive)이었다. 그리고 방사선에 의한 폐암의 ERR (excess radiation risk)은 다른 고형암과는 달리 나이와 함께 감소하지 않으며, 더욱이 흡연 위험과 방사선 위험이 상승작용을 하여 폐암 검진 대상인 고위험군에게 더욱 위험할 수 있는 것으로 평가되었다. 따라서 방사선에 의한 위험이 NLST에서 관측한 이득을 상쇄할 수도 있다. 아직은 최적의 전략이 확립되지 않은 상태이므로 임상에서 광범위하게 적용하기에는 한계가 있다. 2. 대장CT검사(CT colonography)는 10 mm보다 큰 용종의 검출에는 정확도가 뛰어나지만 이보다 작은 경우에는 민감도와 특이도가 급격히 감소하고, 용종이 발견되어 제거하고자 하는 경우 다시 기존의 대장내시경을 이용해야 하는 불편함이 있다. 현재 대장CT검사 1회 시행의 평균유효선량은 약 8-10 $mS{\nu}$로 보고되어, 만약 이 검사가 많은 사람들을 대상으로 일상적으로 행해지면 공중보건에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서 집단검진 방법으로 정착하기 위해서 는 용종 크기 6-10 mm 범위에서 높은 민감도와 특이도를 확립하고, 하제를 사용하지 않는 방법을 개발하여야 하며, 선량을 더 감소시킬 수 있는 최적화된 전략을 세워 표준화하여야만 한다. 3. 전신CT검사는 그 효용성이 검증된 선행연구가 없는 상태이다. 이 검사는 약 90%의 검사자들에게서 최소한 하나 이상의 이상소견을 확인하였지만 그 중 약 2%만이 임상적으로 중요한 질환으로 판명되었다. 전신CT검사 1회 시행으로 인한 평균유효선량은 약 12 $mS{\nu}$이며 45세부터 75세까지 매년 검사를 받는 경우 LAR (lifetime attributable risk)이 1.9%로 보고되었다. 현재 의학계의 어떤 단체도 이 검사를 권고하고 있지 않다. 현재까지 CT선별검사는 정당화에 대한 충분한 논의를 위해 심도 있는 다양한 연구가 필요하며 최적화된 프로토콜이 확립된 후 이용하는 것이 바람직하다.

무선인터넷 기술의 발달과 응용의 확산으로 인하여 위치정보(Location Information)를 이용한 서비스 형태는 아주 다양하여 지고 있으며, LBS(Location-Based Services)라는 형태로 국내외 시장에서 급속히 학장하고 있다. 이러한 서비스의 기본정보인 위치정보는 고부가가치의 정보로 인정되고 있으며 또한 이러한 위치를 기반으로 한 서비스는 기존의 GIS(Geographic Information System)를 일반사람들에게 생활 속의 정보로 밀접하게 홀용할 수 있게 되었다. 즉, LBS로 인하여 GIS는 새로운 패러다임의 전환을 맞이하게 되었으며 대용량 이동체 데이터베이스 (MODB : Moving Object Database) 는 LBS를 위한 핵심 플랫폼 기능으로 인식되고 있다, 이러한 대용량 이동체 데이터베이스와 이동통신망과의 위치획득 인터페이스를 통한 위치정보 획득 기능은 아주 중요한 요소가 되며, 향후 위치를 기반으로 한 다양한 서비스가 제공될 경우, 이동성을 가지는 수많은 고객의 위치정보를 획득함으?? 심각한 시스템의 부하는 미리 예측할 수가 있다. 즉, 대용량의 이동체의 위치정보를 획득함에 있어서, 심각한 통신부하로 인한 LBS 플랫폼의 성능 저하가 발생 할 수가 있다. 따라서, MODB에서는 위치획득 기능은 안정적인 LBS플랫폼이 이동통신망으로부터 대용량의 위치정보를 획득함에 있어서, 이동체의 과거 이동 패턴을 이용하여 불필요한 위치정보 획득 회수를 줄임으로써 시스템 부하를 줄이고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 이동체의 이동 패턴을 이용하여 다양한 위치획득 모델을 설계하였으며, 시뮬레이션 환경에서 위치획득 모델을 구현함으로써 성능을 평가하였다.A가 다른 처리보다 높았다.구된다.을 나타냈다. 정소, 난소 및 자궁의 조직검사에서는 모든 투여구간에 커다란 변화는 없었다.이라는 중요성에 비추어, 사회문화주의 이론의 제안을 통해 아동의 수학 학습에서의 교사의 적극적인 역할의 가능성을 제시하고 있다. 삼림경관를 나타내었다. 각 화분대 및 아분대 우점수목의 기후환경에 대응하는 생태적 특징으로 작성한 가상 기온변화곡선의 내용은 다음과 같다: 화분대 I은 Butula우점기로서 약 57,000년 BP까지 형성되었으며, 상대적 한냉기로 간주된다. 화분대 II는 EMW우점시기로서 $57,000{\sim}43$,000년 BP에 형성되었으며, Alt Wurm에서 mittel W${\"{u}}$rm으로 전환되는 Interstadial로 간주된다. 화분대 III은 43,000~15,000년 BP간의 가장 오랜 시기를 포함하며, mittel Wurm${\sim}$Jung Wurm기에 해당한다. 한냉기인 화분대 III시기 중에는 Betula, Pinus, Picea 등의 목본류가 교대로 우점하는데, YY1에서 Quercus 와 Picea의 화분조성 변화로 볼 때 아분대 IIId시기가 가장 한냉하였을 것으로 추정된다. 화분아분대 IVa는 하부 화분대와 상부 화분대간의 전환기층으로서 피나무(Tilia)속 우점기로 나타나며, Holocene에 해당하는 화분대 IVb와 V는 약 7,000년 BP부터 현재까지 식생변화로 각각 Quercus와 Pinus가 우점하는 시기로 한국 동해안의 曺(1979)의 화분대 I과 II에 각각 대비된다.

신약 개발의 주요 표적이 되는 G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR)은 대부분의 생리적 활동에 관여하며 다양한 질병과 질환들에 관련되어 있다. GPCR을 타겟으로 하는 의약개발 연구에서 필수적인 실험방법으로 많이 활용되고 있는 세포기반 스크리닝 기술들은 사용되는 세포의 상태에 따라 데이터의 질이 좌우되는데 최근, 실험에 사용할 세포를 매번 배양하면서 소모되는 비용과 데이터의 변동을 줄이기 위해 냉동보관 세포를 적용하는 추세이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 단일 세포를 많은 양으로 배양하고 냉동 보관한 다음 사용되는 세포의 반응을 최적화하기 위하여 칼슘 검출을 위한 광 단백질이 포함된 세포주에 calcium sensing receptor와 urotensin II receptor가 안정적으로 발현되는 안정화 세포를 제작하고 $-80^{\circ}C$에서 보관한 다음 7 일 간격으로 실험했을 때 효능제와 길항제 반응을 비교하였다. 실험결과 보관기간이 증가함에 따라 세포 신호 값이 감소하였지만 $EC_{50}$와 $IC_{50}$ 값의 변화는 나타나지 않았다($EC_{50}:3.46{\pm}1.36mM$, $IC_{50}:0.49{\pm}0.15{\mu}M$). 그러나 액체질소에서 보관한 세포의 경우에서는 비냉동 세포와 비교하여 세포 신호 값이 감소했지만 보존기간에 따른 변화가 나타나지 않았으며 기간에 따른 $IC_{50}:0.49{\pm}0.15{\mu}M$와 $IC_{50}$의 변화도 없었다. 보관기간이 경과 될수록 세포의 신호 값이 감소하는 것은 세포 손상도 증가가 원인인 것으로 판단되며, 이러한 결과들로부터 장기간 냉동 보관을 위해서는 액체질소를 이용하는 것이 가장 효과적이고 한 달 이내 단기간 사용의 목적으로는 $-80^{\circ}C$ 보관조건도 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 이와 같이 냉동세포의 적극적인 활용을 통하여 초기 스크리닝 과정에서 나타나는 실험 유동성을 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

무선 센서 네트워크는 센서 노드 또는 모트(mote)라 불리는 소형 장치들로 이루어진 무선 네트워크이다. 최근 센서 네트워크에 대한 연구가 활발한 가운데 센서 네트워크에서의 보안에 관한 연구 또한 활발히 진행되고 있다. 센서 노드 및 센서 네트워크 상의 정보를 안전하게 저장, 전송하기 위해서는 암호 알고리즘의 구현이 필요하며, 이 암호 알고리즘들은 센서 노드의 한정된 자원을 효과적으로 활용할 수 있도록 효율적인 구현이 필수적이다. 센서 노드 상에서 이용될 수 있는 암호로는 TinyECC 등의 공개키 암호와 AES와 같은 표준 블록 암호가 있으나, 스트림 암호는 최근에서야 eSTREAM 프로젝트에서 표준화가 완료되어 아직 센서 노드상에서 사용 가능성이 명확하지 않은 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 eSTREAM의 2단계와 3단계에 채택되었던 10개 소프트웨어 기반 암호들 중 9개의 암호들을 MicaZ 모트 상에 구현하여 성능을 비교하고, 특히 최종적으로 eSTREAM에 채택된 SOSEMANUK, Salsa20, Rabbit을 포함한 6개 암호에 대해서는 MicaZ에 적합하도록 최적화하였다. 또한 참조 구현으로써 하드웨어용 스트림 암호 및 AES-CFB에 대한 실험 결과도 제시한다. 본 논문의 실험에 따르면, 대부분의 스트림 암호가 약 31Kbps - 406Kbps의 암호화 성능을 보임으로써 센서 노드에서 사용하기에 큰 무리가 없음을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 최종적으로 채택된 SOSEMANUK, Salsa20, Rabbit의 경우 센서 노드에 적합한 128바이트 크기의 작은 패킷의 암호화에서 각각 406Kbps, 176Kbps, 121Kbps의 속도를 보여주고, 70KB, 14KB, 22KB의 ROM및 2811B, 799B, 755B의 RAM을 사용함으로써, 106Kbps의 속도를 보여준 소프트웨어 기반 AES에 비해 우수한 성능을 보임을 알 수 있었다.

Recently, numerous documents have been made available electronically. Internet search engines and digital libraries commonly return query results containing hundreds or even thousands of documents. In this situation, it is virtually impossible for users to examine complete documents to determine whether they might be useful for them. For this reason, some on-line documents are accompanied by a list of keywords specified by the authors in an effort to guide the users by facilitating the filtering process. In this way, a set of keywords is often considered a condensed version of the whole document and therefore plays an important role for document retrieval, Web page retrieval, document clustering, summarization, text mining, and so on. Since many academic journals ask the authors to provide a list of five or six keywords on the first page of an article, keywords are most familiar in the context of journal articles. However, many other types of documents could not benefit from the use of keywords, including Web pages, email messages, news reports, magazine articles, and business papers. Although the potential benefit is large, the implementation itself is the obstacle; manually assigning keywords to all documents is a daunting task, or even impractical in that it is extremely tedious and time-consuming requiring a certain level of domain knowledge. Therefore, it is highly desirable to automate the keyword generation process. There are mainly two approaches to achieving this aim: keyword assignment approach and keyword extraction approach. Both approaches use machine learning methods and require, for training purposes, a set of documents with keywords already attached. In the former approach, there is a given set of vocabulary, and the aim is to match them to the texts. In other words, the keywords assignment approach seeks to select the words from a controlled vocabulary that best describes a document. Although this approach is domain dependent and is not easy to transfer and expand, it can generate implicit keywords that do not appear in a document. On the other hand, in the latter approach, the aim is to extract keywords with respect to their relevance in the text without prior vocabulary. In this approach, automatic keyword generation is treated as a classification task, and keywords are commonly extracted based on supervised learning techniques. Thus, keyword extraction algorithms classify candidate keywords in a document into positive or negative examples. Several systems such as Extractor and Kea were developed using keyword extraction approach. Most indicative words in a document are selected as keywords for that document and as a result, keywords extraction is limited to terms that appear in the document. Therefore, keywords extraction cannot generate implicit keywords that are not included in a document. According to the experiment results of Turney, about 64% to 90% of keywords assigned by the authors can be found in the full text of an article. Inversely, it also means that 10% to 36% of the keywords assigned by the authors do not appear in the article, which cannot be generated through keyword extraction algorithms. Our preliminary experiment result also shows that 37% of keywords assigned by the authors are not included in the full text. This is the reason why we have decided to adopt the keyword assignment approach. In this paper, we propose a new approach for automatic keyword assignment namely IVSM(Inverse Vector Space Model). The model is based on a vector space model. which is a conventional information retrieval model that represents documents and queries by vectors in a multidimensional space. IVSM generates an appropriate keyword set for a specific document by measuring the distance between the document and the keyword sets. The keyword assignment process of IVSM is as follows: (1) calculating the vector length of each keyword set based on each keyword weight; (2) preprocessing and parsing a target document that does not have keywords; (3) calculating the vector length of the target document based on the term frequency; (4) measuring the cosine similarity between each keyword set and the target document; and (5) generating keywords that have high similarity scores. Two keyword generation systems were implemented applying IVSM: IVSM system for Web-based community service and stand-alone IVSM system. Firstly, the IVSM system is implemented in a community service for sharing knowledge and opinions on current trends such as fashion, movies, social problems, and health information. The stand-alone IVSM system is dedicated to generating keywords for academic papers, and, indeed, it has been tested through a number of academic papers including those published by the Korean Association of Shipping and Logistics, the Korea Research Academy of Distribution Information, the Korea Logistics Society, the Korea Logistics Research Association, and the Korea Port Economic Association. We measured the performance of IVSM by the number of matches between the IVSM-generated keywords and the author-assigned keywords. According to our experiment, the precisions of IVSM applied to Web-based community service and academic journals were 0.75 and 0.71, respectively. The performance of both systems is much better than that of baseline systems that generate keywords based on simple probability. Also, IVSM shows comparable performance to Extractor that is a representative system of keyword extraction approach developed by Turney. As electronic documents increase, we expect that IVSM proposed in this paper can be applied to many electronic documents in Web-based community and digital library.

본 연구의 목적은 고등학교 교육과정에서 활용할 수 있는 가정교과 기반의 예비부모교육 프로그램을 개발하고 평가하여, 예비부모인 고등학생 학습자들이 훗날 우리 사회의 주역이 될 미래세대를 현명하게 보살필 수 있는 성숙한 부모가 되는데 필요한 역량을 갖추도록 하며 동시에 현재 정부가 추진하고 있는 부모교육 활성화 방안의 청소년 대상 예비부모교육을 실행하는 데 도움이 되는 기초자료를 제공하는데 있다. 본 연구의 예비부모교육프로그램 개발 및 평가 과정은 일반적체제설계모형인 ADDIE 모형을 따랐으며, ADDIE모형 중 실행단계(Implement)를 제외한 분석, 설계, 개발, 평가의 4가지 과정을 거쳐 이루어졌다. 먼저, 분석 단계에서는 프로그램 내용요소 추출과 프로그램 개발의 시사점을 얻기 위해 관련 선행연구와 2015 개정 중 고등학교 "기술 가정" 교육과정 문서를 대상으로 분석이 이루어졌다. 그 결과 가정교과 이 외의 분야에서 연구되어 온 예비부모교육의 9 가지 주제(1.자기이해, 2.예비부모의 성, 3.결혼, 4.임신과 출산, 5.부모됨, 6.부모역할, 7.부모 자녀관계, 8.부모와 가족, 9.부모와 사회)와 해당 내용요소들은 이미 가정교과 교육과정에 모두 포함되어 있음을 확인하였으며, 9가지 주제 이외에 가정교과만의 독자적인 주제(1.생애설계, 2.가정생활 내 의 식 주 실천역량, 3.가정생활과 자녀안전, 4.가족문화)와 해당 내용요소들을 별도로 확인함으로써 예비부모교육 시행에 있어 가정교과가 지닌 강점(청소년과 가정과 사회를 바라보며 부모교육 내용 뿐만 아니라 식 의 주 소비 생활 전반을 포함하는 총체적 관점의 교육과 실제로 부모 준비를 실천하게 하는 교육)을 확인하였다. 둘째, 프로그램 개발을 위한 설계는 가정교과와 예비부모교육 간의 접점을 찾고 이를 프로그램 구성요소(목적, 개발방향, 주제, 내용요소, 학습목표, 학습활동)에 반영하는 과정을 통해 이루어졌다. 이 연구의 예비부모교육 프로그램은 미래세대를 현명하게 길러낼 수 있는 성숙한 부모가 지녀야 할 관련 지식, 태도, 가치관, 실천적 문제 해결 능력을 고등학생 학습자가 갖추도록 지원하는 것을 일차 목적으로 두며, 부모됨의 준비 관점에서 학습자가 현재 생활 점검 및 개선을 통해 생활자립능력을 갖추도록 하는 것을 이차목적으로 둔다. 궁극적으로 이 두 가지 목적 달성을 통해 학습자가 장차 부모로서 살아갈 가정생활 영역과 개인적 성취와 관련된 직업생활 영역 그리고 사회 발전에 기여할 수 있는 민주시민으로서의 삶의 영역간의 균형을 이뤄 이를 조화롭게 영위할 수 있는 성숙한 부모로의 성장을 돕고자 하였다. 프로그램 개발방향은 '전체 전개', '내용구성', '교수 학습법 구성'으로 크게 세 가지 측면에서 설정되었다. 프로그램의 주제는 총 11개로 '1. 부모 됨: 부모가 된다는 건', '2. 배우자선택: 행복한 부부관계, 자녀에게 주는 최고의 선물', '3. 임신과 출산: 새로운 생명과의 감동적인 만남', '4. 신생아 돌봄: 24시간 신생아 돌봄', '5. 영유아자녀돌봅: 사랑스러운 나의 아기와의 관계, 애착', '6. 유아기 자녀 돌봄: 별에서 온 내 아이, 유아기 자녀 돌보기', '7. 부모와 건강가정: 건강가정 속 부모와 자녀', '8.부모 자녀 관계: 현명한 부모, 자녀와 효과적으로 상호작용하기', '9. 가정생활 내 자녀안전: 가정생활 속 안전관리자, 부모', '10. 영유아 돌봄 실습', '11. 지역사회 양육지원서비스 개발 실습'이다. 프로그램의 들어갈 최종 내용요소들은 분석단계에서 추출된 내용요소들을 11개 주제와의 관련성을 토대로 분배된 후 선정되었다. 학습목표와 학습활동은 해당 주제와 내용요소를 반영하여 구상되었으며, 특히 프로그램의 학습활동은 1) 부모 됨 관련 실천적 문제를 포함한 사례 활용, 2) 학습한 지식과 기술을 활용한 지역사회 교류활동, 3) 부모 됨 관련 학습내용을 활용한 실생활 프로젝트 활동, 4) 고등학생 학습자의 현재 삶의 긍정적인 변화를 유도하는 활동, 그리고 5) 자녀 발달을 지원하는 가정교과 내 의 식 주 실습활동을 주요 특징으로 한다. 셋째, 프로그램의 개발은 앞서 설정된 설계에 따라 이루어졌으며, 이에 총 11개 주제에 따른 17차시 분량에 해당하는 교수 학습과 정안 및 학습자료가 개발되었다. 개발된 교수 학습과정안은 수업흐름 및 교사 참고자료를 포함하며, 수업 도입부에 가상의 자녀로부터 수업관련 메시지를 받는 것을 시작으로, 정리단계에서는 받은 메시지에 대한 답장의 형태로 해당 차시의 내용 정리 및 예비부모로서의 다짐을 하는 것을 기본 틀로 하였다. 학습자료는 학습활동을 위해 필요한 각종 계획서나 보고서 양식을 포함하며, 정규교육과정에서의 교과서와 같은 역할을 하도록 구체적으로 작성되었다. 넷째, 개발된 프로그램의 평가는 프로그램 개발과정과 결과물 두 가지 측면에 대해 가정교과 전문가 13인으로부터 5점 리커트형 설문지를 활용하여 이루어졌다. 개발과정에 대한 기초분석 평가결과 평균 4.61점, 내용타당도 지수 97.4%였으며, 프로그램 결과물에 대한 평가결과는 평균 4.37점 내용타당도 지수 86.9%였다. 이와 같은 값은 이 연구 프로그램의 개발과정과 그 결과물에 대한 타당도가 상당히 높은 수준에서 확보됐음을 나타내며, 이에 이 연구의 가정교과 기반의 예비부모교육 프로그램은 고등학생 학습자를 대상으로 하는 예비 부모 교육 프로그램으로 타당하고 적합하다는 결론을 내릴 수 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. 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.
