The purpose of this study was to describe the gait pattern and parameters of the healthy elderly over 65years of age by the GATERite system. The subjects were sorted into two groups, depending on their sex: male and female. And female subjects were sorted into three groups, depending on their age. From time parameters and space parameters of gait cycle, between groups, the following results were made. The time parameters such as cadence, velocity, step time, single support and double support were the less the male than the female. And the higher age, the lower value except 80 age group, while no statistically significant. The space parameters(step length and stride length) were the longer the male than the female, and the higher age, the lower value while no statistically signigicant. The functional ambulation profile was high correlation with time and space parameters statistically significant.

A four-legged mobile robot can move on the plain terrain with mobility and stability, but if there exist any obstacles on the terrain of the motion direction, it takes extra times for a mobile robot to cross those obstacles and the stability should be considered during motion. The main objevtive is the study of a quadruped which can cross obstacles with better mobility, stability and fuel economy than any other wheeled or tracked vehicles. Vertical step, isolated wall and ditch are the basic obstacles and by understanding those three cases perfectly, a quadruped can move on any mixed rough terrain as 4-legged animal moves. Each leg of a determine the crossing capability in a static analysis. A quadruped can be simplified with links and joints. By applying the research method, a quadruped can determine the control procedures as soon as it receives the terrain informations from scanner and finally can be moved as animals move with mobility and stability.

To avoid influences caused by pose, illumination and facial expression variations, we propose a robust three-step algorithm based on ASM and POEM for facial landmark localization. Firstly, Model Selection Factor is utilized to achieve a pose-free initialized shape. Then, we use the global shape model of ASM to describe the whole face and the texture model POEM to adjust the position of each landmark. Thirdly, a second localization is presented to discriminatively refine the subtle shape variation for some organs and contours. Experiments are conducted in four main face datasets, and the results demonstrate that the proposed method accurately localizes facial landmarks and outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.

With the MOsES (mask oxide sidewall etch scheme)process which uses the conventional i-line stepper and isotropic wet etching, CMOSFET's with fine gate pattern of 0.1.mu.m CMOSFET device, the screening oxide is deposited before the low energy ion implantation for source/drain extensions and two step sidewall scheme is adopted. Through the characterization of 0.1.mu.m CMOSFET device, it is found that the screening oxide deposition sheme has larger capability of suppressing the short channel effects than two step sidewall schem. In cse of 200.angs.-thick screening oxide deposition, both NMOSFET and PMOSFET maintain good subthreshold characteristics down to 0.1.mu.m effective channel lengths, and show affordable drain saturation current reduction and low impact ionization rates.

This paper deals with the gait generation of IWR-III using a kick action to have a walking pattern like human. For this, trajectory planning with the consideration of kick action is done in each walking step, and the coordinate transformation is done for simplifying the kinematics. Balancing motion is analyzed by FDM during the walking, By combining 4-types of pre-defined steps, multi-step walking is done. Using numerical simulator, dynamic analysis, ZMP analysis and system stability is confirmed. Walking motion is visualized by 3D- graphic simulator. As a result, trunk ahead motion effect and impactless smooth walking is implemented by experiment. Finally walking with kick action is implemented the IWR-III system.

In this paper, motion analysis algorithm is presented for home surveillance of the aged who lives alone. For the first step, we acquire images from a camera. To enhance the image, we use median filtering and binarize it to reduce processing time. And then morphological operations are performed to remove small blobs and small holes. At the forth step, blobs are analysed to extracts tor foreground region. Then, motions are predicted from these images by using optical tlow technique, and the predicted motion data are refined by comparing our cardboard models so as to judge behavior pattern.

This paper describes a biped walking algorithm for a hydraulic humanoid robot on inclined floors. To realize stable and robust biped walking, the walking algorithm was divided into five control strategies. The first is a joint position control strategy. This strategy is for tracking desired joint position trajectories with a gain switching. The second is a multi-model based ZMP (Zero Moment Point) control strategy for dynamic balance. The third is a walking pattern flow control strategy for smooth transition from step to step. The fourth is an ankle compliance control, which increases the dynamic stability at the moment of floor contact. The last is an upright pose control strategy for robust walking on an inclined floor. All strategies are based on simple pendulum models and include practical sensory feedback in order to implement the strategies on a physical robot. Finally, the performance of the control strategies are evaluated and verified through dynamic simulations of a hydraulic humanoid on level and inclined floors.

Purpose: The study was done to develop the model of regulatory body of advanced practice registered nurse. Method: This was a descriptive study adopted a method of comparison and construction of laws. Result: The type of partnership of government and people were privatization, negotiated rule-making, standard-setting authority, self-regulation. The pattern of partnership were applied to the regulatory body's role; administration of certification and examination, setting standards for nursing education programs and approval nursing programs. The regulatory body of advanced practice registered nurse was organized according to it's role. Conclusions: It is needed to proceed to self-regulation step by step.

휴대용 기기의 사용이 증가하면서 전지의 고용량화와 소형화가 요구되고 있다. 특히 의료용 센서 기기에서는 소형화가 매우 중요하며 인체에 해로운 물질로 구성되지 않는 것이 바람직하다. 최근 고체전해질을 사용하는 마이크로 배터리가 개발되고 있으나, 에너지 저장용량이 작아 응용분야가 제한적이다. Silicon wafer 위에 형성된 고단차의 3차원 박막 배터리를 형성한다면 표면적 증가에 의해 에너지 저장용량 역시 크게 증가할 것이다. 따라서 고단차의 3차원 구조위에 confomal한 박막을 형성하기 위해서는 기존 물리증착방법과는 달리 새로운 step coverage가 우수한 박막증착법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 atomic layer deposition(ALD)으로 박막 배터리의 cathode 물질인 $LiCoO_2$를 증착하기 위한 기초연구로서 cobalt oxide 박막의 ALD 공정을 연구하였다. Cobalt +2가 전구체와 $O_3$를 교대로 공급하여 박막을 증착하고 그 박막의 물리적, 화학적, 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. 이를 통해 exposure와 기판온도가 박막의 특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 또한 pattern wafer위에 박막을 증착하여 step coverage를 조사하였다.
