Objective : In Donguibogam(東醫寶鑑), like a slow pulse with irregular intervals(結脈), an abrupt pulse(促脈) and a slow and weak pulse with regular intervals(代脈), an uneven pulse is written as a kind of arrhythmia. Such a recognition differs from the present one. In this study, I try to seize the meaning and deliberate whether those expressions are appropriate. Method : 1. Collect and compare the materials of the above four pulses among documentary records of feeling the pulse for diagnosis. 2. Grasp the aspect and trend of changes. 3. Reason whether records in Donguibogam(東醫寶鑑) are proper or not. Result & Conclusions : Donguibogam(東醫寶鑑) written "like a slow pulse with irregular intervals(結脈), an abrupt pulse(促脈) and a slow and weak pulse with regular intervals(代脈), an uneven pulse is written as a kind of arrhythmia". It is not 'an uneven pulse' is written about irregularity of pulse, but 'an uneven pulse' is written about irregularity of the sense able to be felt on the fingertip.

Objectives: A study on the importance and consistency of pulse-daignosis in the Dongeuibogam Methods: We used Deyeuk Dongeuibogam of Dongeuibogam publishing company from original photographic edition. Results: The frequency of 27 mek (pulse condition) in Dongeuibogam is as in the following. Bumek (Floating pulse) appeared 120(8.9%) times, wanmek (moderate pulse) appeared 28(2%) times, chokmek (running pulse) appeared 7 (0.5%) times, gyumek (hollow pulse) appeared 19 (1.4%) times, saekmek (uneven pulse) appeared 33 (2.4%) times, sapmek (uneven pulse) appeared 51 (3.8%) times, kyulmek (knotted pulse) appeared 18 (1.3%) times, whalmek (slippery pulse) appeared 69 (5.1%) times, chimek (slow pulse) appeared 43 (3.2%) times, demek (intermittent pulse) appeared 13 (1%) times, silmek (replete pulse) appeared 45 (3.3%) times, bokmek (deep-sited pulse) appeared 29 (2.1%) times, neomek (firm pulse) appeared 4 (0.3%) times, hyunmek (taut pulse) appeared 110 (8.1%) times, yumek (soft pulse) appeared 20 (1.5%) times, dongmek (short and rapid pulse) appeared 16 (1.2%) times, kinmek (tense pulse) appeared 67 (5%) times, yakmek (weak pulse) appeared 46 (3.4%) times, semek (thready pulse) appeared 62 (4.6%) times, hongmek (full pulse) appeared 50 (3.7%) times, jangmek (long pulse) appeared 14 (1%) times, sakmek (rapid pulse) appeared 103 (7.6%) times, mimek (indistinctive pulse) appeared 65 (4.8%) times, danmek (short pulse) appeared 16 (1.2%) times, demek (large pulse) appeared 106 (7.9%) times, chimmek (deep pulse) appeared 112 (8.3%) times, heomek appeared 70 (5.2%) times, sanmek (scattered pulse) appeared 14(1%)times. Conclusions: We can know Donguibogam is given on the basis 27mek (pulse condition), because the frequency of 27mek (pulse condition) is high. But there are another expressions. So we can not say that Donguibogam is consistent in expressing mekbub(the way of pulse-diagnosis).

This paper presents the development of smart counting system that is proper for grains with uneven unit weight or shape. This device can detect the small differences of a light beam and count the pulse from wave shape control, when the grain is going on the light screen, which is made by the light beam screen sensor. It can, different from the former conventional device, distinct the uneven grains for counting detect, by using the dedicated hardware and the software algorithm of the light sensor.

The passivation of AZ91D Mg alloys by plasma anodization requires deliberate choice of process parameters due to the presence of large amounts of structural defects. We study the dependence of pore formation, surface roughness and corrosion resistance on voltage by comparing the direct current (DC) mode and the pulse wave (pulse) mode in which anodization is performed. In the DC plasma anodization mode, the thickness of the electrolytic oxide film of the AZ91D alloy is uneven. In the pulse mode, the thickness is relatively uniform and the formed thin film has a three-layer structure. The pulse mode creates less roughness, uniform thickness and improved corrosion resistance. Thus, the change of power mode from DC to pulse at 150 V decreases the surface roughness (Ra) from $0.9{\mu}m$ to $0.1{\mu}m$ and increases the corrosion resistance in rating number (RN) from 5 to 9.5. Our study shows that an optimal oxide film can be obtained with a pulse voltage of 150 V, which produces an excellent coating on the AZ91D casting alloy.

Dredged silt from reservoirs in southern Taiwan was sintered to make lightweight aggregates (LWA), which were then used to produce lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC).This study aimed to assess the compressive strength and homogeneity of LWAC using ultrasonic-echo sensing. Concrete specimens were prepared using aggregates of four different particle density, namely 800, 1100, 1300 and 2650 kg/$m^3$. The LWAC specimens were cylindrical and a square wall with core specimens drilled. Besides compressive strength test, ultrasonic-echo sensing was employed to examine the ultrasonic pulse velocity and homogeneity of the wall specimens and to explore the relationship between compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity. Results show that LWA, due to its lower relative density, causes bloating, thus resulting in uneven distribution of aggregates and poor homogeneity. LWAC mixtures using LWA of particle density 1300 kg/$m^3$ show the most even distribution of aggregates and hence best homogeneity as well as highest compressive strength of 63.5 MPa. In addition, measurements obtained using ultrasonic-echo sensing and traditional ultrasonic method show little difference, supporting that ultrasonic-echo sensing can indeed perform non-destructive, fast and accurate assessment of LWAC homogeneity.

The defect sites on chemical vapor deposition grown graphene are investigated through the selective electrochemical deposition (SED) of Au nanoparticles. For SED of Au nanoparticles, an engineered potential pulse is applied to the working electrode versus the reference electrode, thereby highlighting the defect sites, which are more reactive relative to the pristine surface. Most defect sites decorated by Au nanoparticles are situated along the Cu grain boundaries, implying that the origin of the defects lies in the synthesis of uneven graphene layers on the rough Cu surface.

Laser induced surface activation (LISA) technology requires refined selection of process variables to fabricate conductive microcircuits on a general polymer material. Among the process variables, laser mode is one of the crucial factors to make a reliable conductor pattern. Here we compare the continuous wave (CW) laser mode with the pulse wave (PW) laser mode through determination of the surface roughness and circuit accuracy. In the CW laser mode, the surface roughness is pronounced during the implementation of the conductive circuit, which results in uneven plating. In the PW laser mode, the surface is relatively smooth and uniform, and the formed conductive circuit layer has few defects with excellent adhesion to the polymer material. As a result of a change of laser mode from CW to PW, the value of Ra of the polymer material decreases from 0.6 ㎛ to 0.2 ㎛; the value of Ra after the plating process decreases from 0.8 ㎛ to 0.4 ㎛, and a tight bonding force between the polymer source material and the conductive copper plating layer is achieved. In conclusion, this study shows that the PW laser process yields an excellent conductive circuit on a polymeric material.
