Rectal tenesmus is a persistent, painful and ineffectual sensation of straining at stool or opening of the bowels. The pain is usually spasmodic in nature and most commonly encountered in patients with carcinoma of the rectum or other pelvic organs. In 1988, Bristowand Foster reported that patients with severe spasmodic painful tenesmus were relieved with chemical sympathectomy. In 1990, Plancarte introduced block of Ganglion impar. This technique is proposed as an alternative means of managing localized perineal pain of sympathetic origin. Ganglion impar block was performed on a 54-year-old female patient when analgesic or psychotropic drugs failed to control the symptoms of post-traumatic severe spasmodic painful tenesmus. Postoperatively, patient was free of tenesmoid pain for only 7 days. We then performed neurotomy by RF lesion generator which provided complete pain relief.

This paper proposes a robot driving system and sensor implementation for use with an education robot. This robot has multiple functions and was designed so that children could use it with interest and ease. The robot recognizes the location of a user and follows that user at a specific distance when the robot and user communicate with each other. In this work, the robot was designed and manufactured to evaluate its performance. In addition, an embedded board was installed with the purpose of communicating with a smart phone, and a camera mounted on the robot allowed it to monitor the environment. To allow the robot to follow a moving user, a set of sensors combined with an RF module and ultrasonic sensors were adopted to measure the distance between the user and the robot. With the help of this ultrasonic sensors arrangement, the location of the user couldbe identified in all directions, which allowed the robot to follow the moving user at the desired distance. Experiments were carried out to see how well the user's location could be recognized and to investigate how accurately the robot trackedthe user, which eventually yielded a satisfactory performance.

In this paper, a swallowable miniaturized capsule, which applicable for electrical stimulation of digestive organ to improve the motion of intestine in research purpose, is proposed and implemented. The developed capsule can be controlled for the behavior of the power on/off, amplitude and pulse rate for the patient stimulus, by internally equipped with miniaturized RF receiver that linked by the command of external transmitter. The experimental result of the implemented miniaturized capsule in the animal intestine show the ability of effective control for the stimulus parameters.

In this paper, a current - mode class D(CMCD) power amplifier over 70 % power added efficiency at 900 ㎒ is designed and implemented. Based on push-pull class B structure, main power loss due to charge and discharge of output capacitance in switching mode power amplifier is minimized by applying a parallel harmonic control circuit. Experimental CMCD amplifier with 73 % power added efficiency at 3.2 W and 72 % power added efficiency at 5 W are achieved respectively. In addition a characteristic of switching mode power amplifier whose output power is proportional to magnitude of U power is verified.

The increase of vehicles stagnations leads to the increasing attention to the way customers pay and a large number of projects on electronic cash system. Tranport system is comprised of a number of advanced technologies, including information processing, communications, control, and electronics. Recently many research on a system which provides contact in order to protect driver's vehicle passage have been carried out. And some potential problems from that system are being reviewed by electronic cash system. In this papers, we suggest RF protocol developing technology using the concept of electronic cash. ATM electronic cash developing is consist of component of pre-developed coin throw, integration of component using its, and production of more requirement-satisfactory ITS solution. Result increase 15$\sim$40% pre-type vehicles stagnations. Especially, we expect this proposed concept would be well adapted to our national environments.

Tungsten carbon nitride (W-C-N) thin films were produced by reactive radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputter-ing of tungsten in $Ar-N_2$ gas mixture. The effects of the variation of nitrogen partial pressure on the composition, and structural properties of these films as well as the influence of post-deposition annealing have been studied. When $La_{0.67}Sr_{0.33}MnO_3$ was coated on the W-C-N/Si substrate, coercivity ($H_c$) and magnetization at room temperature shows 58.73 Oe, and 29.4 emu/cc, respectively. In order to improve the diffusion barrier characteristics, we have studied the impurity behaviors to control the ratios of nitrogen and carbon concentrations.

A new ion beam extraction system is designed using a simple ion mass filter and a micro mass balance and a QMS based detecting system. A quadrupole Mass Filter is used for selective ion beam formation from inductively coupled high density plasma sources with appropriate electrostatic lens and final analyzing QMS. Also a quartz crystal microbalance is set between a QMF and a QMS to measure the etching and polymerization rate of the mass selected ion beam. An inductively coupled plasma was used as a ion/radical source which had an electron temperature of 4-8 eV and electron density of $4${\times}$10^{11}$＃/㎤. A computer interfaced system through 12bit AD-DA board can control the pass ion mass of the qmf by setting RF/DC voltage ratio applied to the quadrupoles so that time modulation of pass ion's mass is possible. So the direct measurements of ion - surface chemistry can be possible in a resolution of $1\AA$/sec based on the qcm's sensitivity. A full set of driving software and hardware setting is successfully carried out to get fundamental plasma information of the ICP source and analysed $Ar^{+}$ beam was detected at the $2^{nd}$ QMS.

We propose a switched beam-forming antenna that satisfies not only ultra-wideband characteristics but also beam-forming in the WLAN frequency band using an ultra-wideband antenna and passive parasitic elements applying a broadband optimal reactance load algorithm. We design a power and phase estimation function and an error correction function by re-analyzing and normalizing all the components of the parasitic array using control system engineering. The proposed antenna is compared with an antenna with a pin diode and reactance load value, respectively. The pin diode is located between the passive parasitic elements and ground plane. An antenna beam can be formed in eight directions according to the pin diode ON (reflector)/OFF (director) state. The antenna with a reactance load value achieves a better VSWR and gain than the antenna with a pin diode. We confirm that a beam is formed in eight directions owing to the RF switch operation, and the measured peak gain is 7 dBi at 2.45 GHz and 10 dBi at 5.8 GHz.

The Passive Device called SAW Device of the ID Tag or a small sensor that can replace all of MEMS technology Micro Device. When using SAW Device will be able to replace that sensor control the power needed or separate space. Enlarge the scope of this advantage to use as a platform for various SAW Device is required. However, the current SAW Sensor development has many, but SAW Sensor that can leverage the platform's development is sketchy. Therefore, this paper implements SAW Reader can be measured in SAW Device Using an FPGA more simple and efficient Reader platform.

The transparent conducting oxides(TCOs) are widely used as electrodes for most flat panel display devices(FPDs), electrodes in solar cells and organic light emitting diodes(OLED). Among them, indium oxide materials are mostly used due to its high electrical conductivity and a high transmittance in the visible spectrum. The present study reports on a study of the electrical and optical properties of IGZO thin films prepared on glass and PET substrates by the combinational magnetron sputtering. We use the targets of IZO and Ga2O3 for the deposition process. In some case the deposition process is coupled with the End-Hall ion-beam treatment onto the substrates before the sputtering. In addition we control the deposition rate to optimize the film quality and to minimize the surface roughness. Then we investigate the effects of the Ar gas pressure and RF power during the sputtering process upon the electrical, optical and morphological properties of thin films. The properties of prepared IGZO thin films have been analyzed by using the XRD, AFM, a-step, 4-point probe, and UV spectrophotometer.
