Treatment of human calculi by extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy(ESWL) was introduced for kidney stones in 1980. This technology was then applied to the treatment of bile duct stones and pancreatic stones. Some reports have also shown that disintegration of pancreatic stones by extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy is possible with successful subsequent endoscopic extraction of the fragments at home ana abroad. We tried removal of pancreatic calcification stones by endoscopic procedures, but could't be removed because the basket got entagled in the endoscopy. We report one case of this pancreatic calcification stones ; the stones were successfully fragmented and completely removal by extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy.

In this paper, generation mechanisms of ocean freak waves are briefly introduced in the context of wave-current interaction phenomena. As an accurate and efficient numerical tool, the spectral element method is presented with general features and specific treatment for the wave-current interaction problem. The present model of the fluid motion is based on the Navier-Stokes equations incorporating a velocity-pressure formulation. In order to deal with the free surface motion, an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) description is adopted. As an intermediate stage of development, solution procedure and characteristic aspects of the present modeling and numerical method features are addressed in detail, and numerical results for wave-current interaction is left as further study.

Coil spring of automobile suspension system is very important to safety and dynamics of passenger car and requires a highly advanced quality control during manufacturing processes. Surface cracks on the coil spring rod produced by mechanical machining and heat treatment may cause a severe accident and large cost to the manufacturer. In order to detect surface cracks of the rod, guided wave technique is applied for a fast total volumetric inspection. Pochhammer equation is studied to investigate the dispersion characteristics of the guided wave in the spring rod and optimal wave modes sensitive to the surface crack are selected experimentally to design the experimental arrangement for the generation of guided wave. Rod samples with different size of artificial axial EDM notch on the surface ranging from 50${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 1 mm are examined by guided wave and inspection results discussed.

This research work explored physical and mechanical properties of impregnated sawdust boards from three softwood species (P, densifora, L. kaemferi, and P. koraiensis) with phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin by various vacuum treatment methods of combining pressure, vacuum, and ultrasonic waves. Simultaneous vacuum and ultrasonic wave treatments with no pressure resulted in the greatest increase in resin content, density, dimensional changes (thickness and length), bending strength, and hardness of impregnated board. This result seemed to be attributed to the ultrasonic wave treatment.

In this paper, the damage of hair and wave shape in process of the dyeing, bleaching, and permanent hair wave are simulated. The virgin hair that do not process the dyeing, bleaching, and permanent hair wave becomes stable in the scale type. On the other hand, the hair that deals with the dyeing, bleaching, and permanent hair wave is heavily damaged in the scale type. It is observed that the higher pH is decided, the higher the hair is damaged because the scale damage in the bleaching hair is more heavily damaged than the dyeing hair. In case of executing the permanent hair wave, the processing of the plaine rinsing becomes less in the scale damage of the hair and better in the wave form. Therefore, it is found that the processing of the plaine rinsing to improve the wave form and to prevent the hair damage is needed.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of Extracorporea Shock-wave therapy(ESWT) on the pain and improvement of wrist extensor strength which is one of the available medical treatment in patients with lateral epicondylitis. Object and Methods : The subjects of this study were consisted of 15 patients with lateral epicondylitis, These medical treatments was conducted total 6 time for 3 weeks. In the ESWT application group. To investigate the effectiveness of the treatment after ESWT treatment, Pain was measured by visual analogue scale(VAS) which is divided into 10 ranks and wrist extensor strength was measured by Aneroid phygmomanometer Results : 1. It was showed that VAS and wrist extensor strength before treatment and after two treatment(1 week) were no significant differences(p<0.05). 2. It was showed that VAS and wrist extensor strength before treatment and after four treatment(2 week) were significant differences(p<0.05). 3. It was showed that VAS and wrist extensor strength before treatment and after six treatment(3 week) were significant differences(p<0.05). Conclusion : We think that ESWT for the patients with lateral epicondylitis. is effective to wrist extensor strength and decrease of pain.

This paper presents a new class of microstrip slow-wave open-loop resonator filters with reduced size and improved stopband characteristics. A comprehensive treatment of both ends loaded with triangular and rectangular ends is described, leading to the invention of a microstrip slow-wave open-loop resonator. Two-resonator and four-resonator bandpass filters are designed at the operating frequency of about 2 GHz, and a bandwidth of 60 MHz. The size of the slow-wave open-loop resonator is optimized from the standpoint of the unloaded Q-factor. The filters are not only compact in size due to the slow-wave effect, but also have a wider upper stopband resulting from the dispersion effect. The filter designs of this type are described in details. The experimental results are demonstrated and discussed.

The theoretical treatment of statistical properties and distribution relevant to nonlinear random wave field of moderate bandwidth such as peak and trough of wave elevation is an overdue task hampered by the complicated form of nonlinear random waves. In this study, the extreme distribution of nonlinear random waves is derived based on the simplified version of Longuet-Higgins' wave model. It is shown that the band width of wave spectrum has a significant influence on these extreme distribution and the significant wave height is getting larger in an increasing manner as the nonlinearity is getting profound.

Plantar fasciitis is most common cause of heel pain which starts anterior tubercle of calcaneus. It is chronic inflamation of plantar fascia, reduces collagen and water content of heel pain which incur the degenerative changes with elastic fiber weakness. We treated one patient after extracorporeal shock wave treatment. We diagnosed him with X-ray and treated her conservative maneuver as to oriental medical method. We measured Vas(Visual analogue scale) and thermographic picture of both leg. Visual analogue scale is from 10 to 4 and thermographic picture of both leg were improved in cases.

Neuro feedback training using ElectroEncephalo Grams (EEGs) is commonly utilized in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Recently, BCI (Brain-computer Interface) contents have developed, not for the purpose of treatment, but for concentration improvement or brain relaxation training. However, as each user has different wave forms, it is hard to develop contents controlled by such different wave. Therefore, an EEG process that allows the ability to transform the variety of wave forms into one standard signal and use it without taking a user's characteristic of EEG into account, is required. In this paper, a framework that can reduce users' characteristics by normalizing and converting measured EEGs is proposed for contents. This framework also contains the process that controls different brainwave measuring devices. In experiment a handling process applying the proposed framework to the developed BCI contents is introduced.
