This paper presents the generation of the high voltage squarewave pulse using distributed RLC circuit. The demonstrated test was performed with the distributed RLC circuit which consists of the resistance, the inductance and the capacitance. Pspice simulation was also conducted about the experiment circuit. The result of the experiment was in good agreement with the result of the simulation. Theoretical analysis of the initial peak value at the squraewave pulse was derived from the results of the experiment and simulation. Additionally, the characteristics of the time delay was analyzed about the spherical gap switch and the surface discharge gap switch, respectively. It is concluded that the surface discharge gap switch is better than the spherical gap switch to reduce the time delay.

Ultrasonic test usually was used for defect detection, crack depth measurements and strength estimation of hardened concrete. The essence of the pulse velocity method is that the transition time of an ultrasonic longitudinal pulse is measured in concrete. Ultrasonic velocity was propagated to the age of concrete, made a radical change at that time when concrete was setted. This study which monitored the change in a concrete by ultrasonic test was performed to estimate initial setting and final setting.

In this paper, it was investigated the characteristics of PD(partial discharge) pulse shapes in oil and the possibility of TF(Time-Frequency) analysis for the discrimination of air corona in on-site PD measurement of oil transformers. For the purpose, single and multiple discharges combined with oil discharges and air corona were generated and measured by use of artificial models through the HFPD pulse detector and the oscilloscope. PD pulse shapes were different according to the type of defects, especially including air corona- pulses. Also, through the TF analysis, data clusters could be classified each other in the TF Map, even in the case of multiple discharges. Therefore, it is known that TF analysis could be aprlied for the improvement of on-site PD measurement in oil transformers.

The electrodeposition of rhodium (Rh) on silicon substrate at different current conditions were investigated. The cracks were found at high current density during the direct current (DC) plating. The pulse current (PC) plating were applied to avoid the formation of cracks on the deposits. Off time in the pulse plating relieved the residual stress of the Rh deposits and consequently the current conditions for the crack-free Rh deposits were obtained. Optimum pulse current (PC) condition is 5:5 (on:off) for the crack-free Rh electroplating.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to observe the effects of Sa-am acupuncture with tonifications of kidney and urinary bladder on radial pulse in healthy subjects. Methods : Sixty healthy subjects participated in this study, and were divided into a kidney tonifying acupuncture group(KI group), urinary bladder tonifying acupuncture group(BL group) and control group. Radial pulse was measured by 3 dimensional pulse imaging system(DMP-3000) before, immediately after, 30 minutes after, and 60 minutes after acupuncture at Cun, Guan, and Chi in each time. Results : 1. BL group exhibited significantly reduced T1 / T, T4 / T, T4 / (T-T4), T5 / T and increased(T-T4) / T compared to KI group. 2. BL group showed increase of radial augmentation index / heart rate(RAI / HR) in left Cun, H5, Ad / Ap in left Chi, H1, As / Ap in right Chi compared to KI group. BL group showed decrease of As / Ap, Aw / Ap in left Chi, H1, pulse depth, Ad / Ap in right Chi compared to KI group. 3. KI group showed increase of Aw / Ap, H1, H2, H4, pulse area in right Guan, pulse depth in right Chi compared to BL group. KI group showed decrease of RAI in left Cun, applied pressure, pulse depth in left Guan, Aw / Ap in right Chi compared to BL group. Conclusions : The effects of Sa-am acupuncture with tonifications of kidney and urinary bladder in healthy humans have been observed on various parameters. The parameters analysed in this study can be used to differentiate the effects of Sa-am acupuncture with tonifications of kidney and urinary bladder on radial pulse.

The ultrasonic nondestructive test (NDT) was applied to deck in-service to inspect and evaluate the performance of decking materials using ultrasonic pulse velocity. First, the measuring method between direct and indirect method according to transducer arrangement was studied. Second, the ultrasonic pulse velocity of decks in-service was compared with the passage of time. Finally, the change of ultrasonic pulse velocity was evaluated to expect service life of decking materials. The results of comparison between direct and indirect method was statistically insignificant and the ratio of direct to indirect method was 1.02. 1.05 respectively. The ultrasonic pulse velocity of decks in-service was decreased as the passage of time and the linear relationship in the ultrasonic pulse velocity to passage of time was found. From the results, The ultrasonic NDT will be helpful as an efficient method of on-site management of decks in-service.

In this paper, we propose a new exponential pulse shaping function based on Chebychev identity equation and Bessel coefficients. The proposed pulse shaping function can produce various pulses with the different characteristics in the time and frequency domain by changing its two parameters. By differentiating the exponential pulse shaping function, we obtain new different pulse functions, in which the even order derivatives of the exponential pulse shaping function are orthogonal to its odd order derivatives. To find the efficiency of the proposed exponential pulse shaping function we analyze its essential characteristics and compare them with those of the conventional Gaussian pulses. We can choose the most suitable exponential pulse waveform according to the design criteria of communication systems.

This paper proposes a CMOS temperature sensor using inverter delay chains of the same size based on the pulse shrinking method. A temperature-pulse converter (TPC) uses two different temperature delay lines with inverter chains to generate a pulse in proportion to temperature, and a time-digital converter (TDC) shrinks the pulse using inverter chains of the same size to convert pulse width into a digital value to be insensitive to process changes. The chip was implemented with a $0.49{\mu}m{\times}0.23{\mu}m$ area using a $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS process with a supply voltage of 3.3V. The measurement results show a resolution of $0.24^{\circ}C/bit$ for 9-bit data for a temperature sensor range of $0^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$.

Objectives : Pulse descriptions in Korean Medical texts are comprised of combinations of pulse terminology, where various combinations of pulse terminology are used to describe disease symptoms. For Korean Medical doctors and professionals, however, it is impossible to identify the entirety of pulse description combinations, and their understanding is mostly limited to those learned from classical texts studied individually. Methods :This research was carried out by using Access of Microsoft Office 365 in Windows 10 of Microsoft. Pulse descriptions were extracted from the text, 『Euijongsonik』. In the final stages, the automatically extracted list of pulse descriptions was refined through [excluded terminology of pulse description]. Results : The PC environment of this research was Intel Core i7-1065G7 CPU 1.30GHz, with 8GB of RAM and a Windows 10 64bit operation system. Out of 6,115 verses 6,497 descriptions were primarily extracted, and after a refinement process, the final list contained 5,507 pulse descriptions. Conclusions : Based on the assumption that classical texts are available in data form to be processed by programs, current research methodology demonstrated that it was more efficient in regards to time and man power to create a pulse description database compared to when the researcher manually created one.

Arterial pulse palpation is an important diagnostic method in Oriental Medicine, particularly for obtaining information about a patient's health conditions or illness, or for confirming a diagnostic conclusion based on the patient's pulsation. The pulse analyzer is both a leading Oriental Medical equipment and a promising tool with such a strong industrial ripple effect that it was selected as one of the four strategic tools for world Oriental Medical instrument market domination at a recent survey. Although various pulse analyzers had been developed, however, most of these were not widely used for clinical diagnosis, due perhaps to lack of the appliance's reliability caused by its inability to reflect the requirements of the clinicians. Thus, in this thesis, the clinical requirements for the pulse analyzer were identified and analyzed by conducting a questionnaire survey among Oriental Medicine clinicians. By looking into the basic functions of a pulse analyzer, the required measurement time, and the medical insurance fee required were determined and among others, the appliance's specific requirements were determined. Moreover, by investigating on the latest patent trend, the technical elements that are needed for the development of a next-generation pulse analyzer were identified. Through these processes, the flow of the technology that must be developed for the pulse analyzer was determined, and the direction for the development of the specific pulse analyzer hardware, sensor, and diagnostic algorithm was identified and proposed.
