Background : Sasang Constitutional Medicine (SCM) is the field of traditional Korean medicine that emphasize four constitutional types for diagnosis and treatment. Appearance, personalities and pathological characteristics are main factors of Sasang constitutional classification. Previous studies carried out by the pulse analyzer showed that the pulse wave can discriminate these types. In addition, It was reported that the pulse wave are affected by age and sexuality. In this study, we investigated the pulse wave characteristics related Sasang constitution types in control group regarding their age and sexuality. Subjects and Method : Two hudred and eighteen volunteers participated in this study: healthy men in $20{\sim}49$ years old. Participants were interviewed and examined to evaluate their health condition and Sasang constitution type. Then they were tested with pulse analyzer when they ere stabilized. The pulse at the radial artery just beside styloid process was measured, because this area is landmark for pulse diagnosis in oriental medicine. 3-D Mac pulse analyzer (Daeyo Medi Co. Ansan. Korea) was used in this study. We analyzed main features of pulse waves with the Sasang condtitution types by the SPSS for Windows (ver 12.0). Results : There was significant difference between Taeum and other types in contact pressure as weil as in coefficient of floating and sinking pulse. Conclusion : By analyzing pulse waves of healthy adult men. we found significant differences exist between Taeum and other types. These pulse differences may characterize Taeum type, and it will be helpful for the evaluation of Taeum type.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to develop the method of selecting representative pulse wave. Methods : The pulse waves were acquired at the right and the left Guan point(關部) with 1420 people who were apparently healthy. The shape agreement of right and left pulse wave and the floating-sinking ratio were compared with three cases, which were the pulse height based method, the pulse area based method, and the pulse time based method. Results : In the point of the shape accordance, the pulse time based method was the best, and the pulse area based method was the worst. In the point of the floating-sinking ratio, the pulse height based method was the worst, and the pulse time based method was the best. Conclusions : So, the pulse time based method was recommended for selecting the representative pulse wave. This study compared the selection methods of representative pulse using the physiological characteristics of pulse wave. Further studies are required, because the representative pulse wave is the main factor of determining the shape and the floating-sinking characteristic of the pulse wave.

광전용적맥파는 인체의 말초 부위에서 맥파를 검출하는데 널리 이용되고 있으며 심박동수 측정 및 혈액산소포화도 측정에 이용되고 있다. 본 연구는 940 nm의 적외선을 이용한 광전용적맥파를 이용하여 손목에서 요골동맥의 맥파를 기록하였으며 센서의 측정 위치에 따라 맥파의 모양이 다르게 나타나는 것을 관찰하였다. 요골동맥 바로 위의 피부부위에서 기록되는 광전용적파는 손가락 끝에서 기록되는 맥파에 비하여 반전되어있는 특성을 보였다. 반전된 맥파의 발생기전은 센서의 발광부에서 나오는 940 nm의 적외선이 조직에 입사하여 반사되어 나오는 경로의 용적 변화가 심장주기에 따라 일어나지만 손가락 끝부분에 비하여 반대 작용이 있음을 나타낸다. 요골동맥의 바로 위 피하 조직은 심장주기에 따라 동맥의 확장 또는 수축이 발생하면 동맥외벽과 피부 사이 조직에 혈류량의 변화가 일어나며 동맥의 확장 시에는 혈류량이 감소하고 이완시에는 증가되는 특성으로 인하여 반전맥파를 형성하는 것으로 추측된다. 이러한 결과는 요골동맥의 벽에서 적외선 반사가 있음을 시사한다.

Measurement of elastic constants is crucial for engineering aspects of predicting the behavior of materials under load as well as structural health monitoring of material degradation. Ultrasonic velocity measurement for material properties has been broadly used as a nondestructive evaluation method for material characterization. In particular, pulse-echo method has been extensively utilized as it is not only simple but also effective when only one side of the inspected objects is accessible. However, the conventional technique in this approach measures longitudinal and shear waves individually to obtain their velocities. This produces a set of two data for each measurement. This paper proposes a simultaneous sensing system of longitudinal waves and shear waves for elastic constant measurement. The proposed system senses both these waves simultaneously as a single overlapped signal, which is then analyzed to calculate both the ultrasonic velocities for obtaining elastic constants. Therefore, this system requires just half the number of data to obtain elastic constants compared to the conventional individual measurement. The results of the proposed simultaneous measurement had smaller standard deviations than those in the individual measurement. These results validate that the proposed approach improves the efficiency and reliability of ultrasonic elastic constant measurement by reducing the complexity of the measurement system, its operating procedures, and the number of data.

A descriptive, comparative study was performed using female college students as experimental subjects. The primary objective was to compare the changes in pulse waves that take place during normalcy and during menstruation. The second objective was to compare the pulse waves of experimental subjects with severe menstrual pain and experimental subjects with minor or no menstrual pain during menstruation and during normalcy. The subjects of this experiment were female college students attending D University, located in Pusan, and the data were collected from September 2011 to February 2012. Their blood circulation index and pulse-wave factors were measured. During normalcy, these data were gauged a week to ten days after menstruation, and during menstruation, they were gauged two to three days after the start of menstruation, when the menstrual pain was at its peak. The results was as follows. In the characteristics of the blood circulation index, the index increased during menstruation, resulting in an increase in only the blood volume of the left ventricle. And the pulse energy of the left Chon, Kwan, Cheok and right Cheok were significantly higher during menstruation. Additionally, the average pulse energy in the left hand was distinctively lower in the menstrual group than in the normalcy group. There is a difference in blood pulse factors between normalcy and during menstruation, as well as a difference in blood pulse factors in experiment group without menstrual pain and experiment group with menstrual pain. These differences were particularly observed in the blood circulation index, pulse energy.

액체로켓엔진의 연소 안정성 평가를 위한 압력 교란 장치인 펄스건은 내재된 화약 폭발시 충격파를 유도관을 통해 엔진 연소기 내부로 전달 발생시키게 된다. 본 연구에서는 펄스건 특성에 영향을 주는 여러 가지 인자 중 화약 충진량에 의한 충격파 특성 파악을 위해 KSR-III 주 엔진과 같은 직경 크기를 갖는 모사 챕버를 이용하였다. 펄스건 출구에서 발생하는 충격파는 축대칭의 균일한 형상의 세기를 지니고 있으며 전체적인 세기 분포는 챔버 내의 압력에 따라 변화함을 확인하였다. 펄스건의 충격파는 상온 상태 조건에서 챔버내의 공명 주파수를 가진하는 것으로 보아 실제 연소장에서도 충분한 압력 교란을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 가장 중요한 점은 펄스건에 의해 발생하는 초기 압력 최대 값이 화약 충진량의 크기에 비례하는 경향을 보인다는 것이다.

This paper describes a new technique for thickness measurement of a very thin layer less than one-quarter of the wavelength of ultrasonic wave used in the ultrasonic pulse-echo measurements. The technique determines the thickness of a thin layer in a tapered medium from constructive interference of multiple reflection waves. The interference characteristics are derived and investigated in theoretical and experimental approaches. Modified total reflection wave g(t) defined as difference between total and first reflection waves increases in amplitude as the interfacial layer thickness decreases down to zero. A layer thickness less than one-tenth of the ultrasonic wavelength is measured using the maximum amplitude of g(t) with a good accuracy and sensitivity. The method also requires no inversion process to extract the thickness information from the waveforms of reflected waves, so that it makes possible to have the on-line thickness measurement of a thin layer such as a lubricating oil film in thrust bearings and journal bearings during manufacturing process.

This paper describes a new technique for thickness measurement of a very thin layer less than one-quarter of the wavelength of ultrasonic wave using ultrasonic pulse-echo method. The technique determines the thickness of a thin layer in a layered medium form the amplitudes of the total reflected waves from the back side layer of interst. Thickness of a very thin layer few inch deep inside the media can be measured without using a very high frequency ultrasonic transducer over 100MHz which must be used in the conventional techniques for the precision measurement of a thin layer. The method also requires no inversion process to extract the thickness from the waveform of the reflected waves, so that it makes possible on-line measurement of the thickness of the layer.
