Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of scrambler and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation therapy on pain, functional disability, and depression in patients with chronic low back pain. Methods: Twenty patients with chronic stroke were assigned randomly to an experimental (n=10) or control (n=10) group. The experimental group performed scrambler therapy. The control group performed electrical nerve stimulation therapy. Training was conducted once a day for 30 minutes, five days per week, for three weeks. The pain was measured using the numeric rating scale. Functional disability was measured using the Roland-Morris disability questionnaire. Depression was measured using the Beck depression inventory. Results: As a result of comparison between the groups, the experimental and control groups showed significant difference for pain, functional disability and depression after the experiment (p<0.05). In a comparison between the two groups, the experimental group, in which scrambler therapy was applied, showed a more significant reduction in pain, functional disability and depression than the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Based on these results, scrambler therapy shows positive effects on pain, functional disability, and depression in patients with chronic low back pain.

More than 80% of cancer patients experience cancer pain. Among them, more than 50% experience moderate to severe pain. To control cancer pain, a variety of methods have been used, including medications and nerve blocks. In some patients, however, it is impossible to perform nerve blocks due to caner metastasis into the epidural space, while in other patients, opioid dose escalation is impossible due to opioid side effects; thus, cancer pain management is difficult. Scrambler therapy is a novel approach for pain control that uses EKG-like pads, which are applied above and below the site of pain. Scrambler therapy synthesizes 16 different types of nerve action potentials that provide "non-pain" information via cutaneous nerves. The advantages of this treatment are that it is non-invasive and safe and has no significant side effects. In this case series, we report the treatment results of using scrambler therapy in three cancer patients with intractable pain.

Calculation of the launch-condition dependent near field pattern, modal power distribution and far field pattern of the SGS mode scrambler by ray optical approch fits well with the experiment. These results were applied to explain how to establish the stable mode launching into the grated index multimode fiber under test by the SGS mode scrambler. The effective use of the 5G5 mode scrambler is found to restrict the launching NA as well as possible. This was also confirmed by experiment.

Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a debilitating complication of herpes zoster, especially in elderly and comorbid patients. Unfortunately, the currently available treatments have shown limited efficacy and some adverse events that are poorly tolerated in elderly patients. Scrambler Therapy, proposed as an alternative treatment for chronic neuropathic pain recently, is a noninvasive approach to relieve pain by changing pain perception at the brain level. Here, we report our clinical experiences on the effect of Scrambler Therapy for three patients with PHN refractory to conventional treatment.

Bit operation of scrambler in the WAVE System become less efficient because parallel processing is impossible in terms of hardware and software. In this paper, we propose algorism to find the starting position of the matrix table. Also, when bit operation algorithm of scrambler and algorithms for matrix table, algorithm used to find starting position of the matrix table were compared with the performance as 8 bit, 16bit, 32 bit processing units. As a result, the number of processing times per second could be done 2917.8 times more in an 8-bit, 5432.1 times in a 16-bit, 10277.8 times in a 32 bit. Therefore, algorithm to find the starting position of the matrix table improves the speed of the scrambler in the WAVE and the receiving speed of a variety of information gathering and precision over the Vehicle to Infra or Vehicle to Vehicle in the Intelligent Transport Systems.

Purpose: The study aims to examine the effects of the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation pattern exercise and scrambler therapy on pain, range of motion (ROM), and shoulder dysfunction in breast cancer patients. Methods: In total, 30 breast cancer patients were recruited and randomized to group I (n = 10), group II (n = 10), and group III (n = 10). Pain was measured using a visual analogue scale, ROM was measured using a goniometer, and shoulder dysfunction was measured using a shoulder pain and disability index. Group I practiced the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation pattern exercise and underwent scrambler therapy, group II underwent scrambler therapy only, and group III practiced the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation pattern exercise only. Results: A within-groups comparison showed that all groups demonstrated significant differences in pain, ROM, and shoulder dysfunction after the experiment (p<0.05). Further, according to a comparison of the three groups, group I showed a more significant difference in effectiveness than groups II and III in terms of pain, ROM, and shoulder dysfunction before and after the experiment (p<0.05). Conclusion: This study showed that the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation pattern exercise and scrambler therapy are effective in treating pain, ROM issues, and shoulder dysfunction in breast cancer patients.

본 논문에서는 입력영상의 휘도 신호에 Neyman-pearson Test를 이용하여 descramble error를 효과적으로 보정하는 기법을 제안한다. 아날로그 회로의 오차와 noise 의 영향으로 scramble 된 라인의 오프셋 값을 정확히 보상하지 못할 경우에 발생하는 descramble error를 scrambler/ descrambler 의 기기별 차이에 관계없이, 또한 scrambler 와 descrambler로부터 어떠한 정보 없이 descramble 시에 발생한 error 의 offset 값과 scramble 된 라인을 검출하여 보상하는 방법을 논하였다.

Conversations over telephone line are easily monitored and therefore acceptable level of security is not provided. In this paper, we propose the design of scrambler for secure communication and real time implementation of it. Especially, we con reduce the complexity of hardware and implement it easily by designing the scrambling system which doesn't require synchronization signal, and provide the scrambling filter with a sufficient level of security of adding new gain into the scrambling system.

In this paper, a new algorithm for high level security and quality of speech is proposed. The algorithm is based on the rearrangement of the fast fourier transform (FFT) coefficients with pre and post filter process, hamming window and adaptive pseudo spectrum insertion. Then, the pre and post filters are used for the whitening of speech spectrum and the adaptive pseudo spectrum is inserted for the unclassification of silence/speech. Also, the hamming window technique is applied for the robustness to the syncronization error in the telephone line. According to the simulation results, it can be seen that the security of scrambled signal and the quality of descrambled signal have been improved fairly in both subjective and objective performance test and the new FFT scrambler is robust to the synchronization error.

This paper explains tile IP over SONET/SDH that becomes nowadays one of the compelling candidates for building tile next generation IP backbone networks. First we introduce the protocol stack and tile related protocols of IP over SONET/SDH and explain the new scrambling technique using 1＋X$^{43}$ scrambler since the legacy scrambler could be vulnerable by malicious users. And we compare tile IP over SONET/SDH with the IP over ATM that has long been a strong candidate for future IP backbone networks and we recommend that the optimal choice for the IP backbone should lie considered based on the merits and demerits of each technology.
