Tencent is an internet-based entertainment platform corporation using technology to enrich the lives of Tencent platform users and assist the contents expansion. Since 2000, Tencent have developed a great growth and innovation in entertainment contents domain. Tencent have become the market leading innovator due to the imitative innovation and M&A. The present study designed case study analyses to investigate the mechanism with regard to the growth strategy of Tencent corporation. Tencent began with imitative internet-based game and social messaging services but then added its own wechat messenger platform, now being extended to other products or services. This imitative innovation strategy enabled Tencent corporation to grow rapidly, to achieve outstanding growth. In addition, Tencent's M&A investment drive is underpinned by a vision of top management team and flexible organizational culture, from building out the Tencent's entertainment platform, game, finance, e-commerce, to global market expansion. While our results shed light on the implications to understanding Tencent's growth, there are limitations of the current study that should be considered when designing next research.

We present a pipeline monitoring system based on bio-memetic robot in this paper. A bio-memetic robot exploring pipelines measures temperature, humidity, and vibration. The principal function of pipeline monitoring robot for the exploring pipelines is to recognize the shape of pipelines. We use infrared distance sensor to recognize the shape of pipelines and potentiometer to measure the angle of motor mounting infrared distance sensor. For the shape recognition of pipelines, the number of detected pipelines is used during only one scanning of distance. Three fuzzy classifiers are used for the number of detected pipelines, and the classifying results are presented in this paper.

This report is shows much intended individual interest about the [imitation!. The discussion of imitation is distinguish between the more excellent or not about technical situation . .It starts from consideration of very salutary to design, that for example induce us to expansion of a valuable creative of our act, based on the other people' s latent potentiality. In conclusion, the discussion about imitation have to make on attempt at a station not a simply "stealing" but a scientifical and special standing point. And imitation must always go a step ahead the wholesome of creative working. As in a word, an substantive inclination of designology that practical necessity of approach IS versatile, multilateral connect and must be established certainly as concluding a incidencial collision of meaning.f meaning.

In this paper, we may by gestures and voice, to know the effect of imitation on the life. Measuring how much about what is imitation unconsciously during conversation to collect data for measuring mimic such speak a short (1 sec) words. It can be used as a basis to predict the outcome of the interview further. Even used as a basis to predict future outcomes. We expect that our group and other researchers will continue to pursue this analysis with larger datasets and across different demographics.

인류의 역사가 시작된 이후, 인간의 창조는 자연의 모방이라는 큰 울타리 안에서 이루어져 왔다. 신의 작품이 위대한 자연이라면, 인간의 작품은 극히 단순한 그것의 모방에 불과한 것인데, 인간은 인간의 제한된 두뇌 활동으로 이해하기가 불가능한 복잡한 자연을 인식하기 위하여 단순화(simplification)라는 방법을 사용하여 왔다. 이 과정에서 기하학(geometry)은 극도로 발전하게 되며, 인간의 자연 인식을 위한 보편적인 수단으로 자리잡게 된다. 중요한 사실은 기하학이 수단으로서 뿐만 아니라 인간에 의한 창조의 목표로서 위치하게 되었다는 사실이다. 즉 기하학은 자연의 모방이전에 이미 인간의 상상력을 지배해왔고, 그것은 가장 보편적인 창조원리가 되어왔다는 점이다. 그러나 최근의 과학과 기술의 발전, 특히 컴퓨터 기술의 발전으로 그 복잡한 자연은 단순화의 과정을 거치지 않은 복잡한(complex) 상태로 인간에게 이해되어지기 시작했다. 그중 하나가 19세기에 시작된 복잡성(chaos)이론인데 실내공간의 디자인에 있어서도 이러한 자연의 복잡성(complexity)이 새로운 창조 원리로서 자리잡게 되었다. 대표적인 실내 공간 다지이너로서 Nigel Coats를 꼽을 수 가 있는데 그의 무정부적인 (anarchism) 디자인 성향은 자연에서 발견될 수 있는 특징중의 하나라고 할 수 있다. 그가 추구한 복잡성(complexity)은 일본의 동경과 같은 고 밀도(high density)의 적극적 소비 도시(active consuming city)에서 발견되는 지극히 인간적인 도시생활을 만들기 위한 software의 제작이며, 이는 자연이라는 신의 창조물에 근접한 모방이 된다. 본 연구는 Nigel Coats의 작품에서 발견될 수 있는 이러한 무정부주의적 성향이 어떻게 자연의 본질적인 복잡한 (complex) 모습과 관련이 되는가를 통하여 현대 실내디자인의 새로운 방향이 이 시대의 과학적 발견에 따른 복잡성(complexity)과 유관함을 보여준다.

In this study, we investigated the effect of fiber alignment in helicoidal structure on the mechanical properties of biomimetic fiber-reinforced composites. Using finite element analysis, circular biomimetic fiber composites were designed and studied. Various amounts of pressure loads were applied to a surface of the composites, and then bending and failure behaviors of the composites were analyzed. The results showed various failure morphologies according to the orientation of the fibers, and it turned out that the fiber alignment in helicoidal structure significantly improved the bending strength of the composite under pressure loading. This was because the fiber alignment in various directions for each layer dispersed effectively the fracture energy from the external load into multiple directions.

Previous studies indicate that information and communication technology (ICT) adoption is affected by innovation influence such as usefulness, ease of use and self-efficacy. Most of these studies, how-ever, bypassed imitation influence such as subjective norms, word-of-mouth, and advertising, specifically, interactive innovation having critical mass in technology acceptance research. Thus, this study focuses to investigate imitation influence in individual adoption of mobile communication technology. The purpose of this study is to empirically examine the causal relationships between initial acceptance and the intention to use in terms of a holistic approach. The results of this study show that there is an imitation influence including word-of-mouth and subjective norms, from the prior adopters to potential adopters, and mass advertising through TV or news-paper commercials in the ICT diffusion process. In addition, this imitation influence also stimulates innovation influence such as perceived usefulness. Finally, this study provides a set of guidelines to mobile communication equipment manufacturers and ICT vendors in developing effective strategies for technology diffusion.

Making good predictions about the outcome of one's actions would seem to be essential in the context of social interaction and decision-making. This paper proposes a computational model for learning articulated motion patterns for action recognition, which mimics biological-inspired visual perception processing of human brain. Developed model of cortical architecture for the unsupervised learning of motion sequence, builds upon neurophysiological knowledge about the cortical sites such as IT, MT, STS and specific neuronal representation which contribute to articulated motion perception. Experiments show how the model automatically selects significant motion patterns as well as meaningful static snapshot categories from continuous video input. Such key poses correspond to articulated postures which are utilized in probing the trained network to impose implied motion perception from static views. We also present how sequence selective representations are learned in STS by fusing snapshot and motion input and how learned feedback connections enable making predictions about future input sequence. Network simulations demonstrate the computational capacity of the proposed model for motion recognition.

In this paper, we tried to find out what is the cinematographic reality conceived by André Bazin. To this end, we examined the process of his long exploration of realism, focusing on his film criticism. Through this, we read his deep concern that the film medium, which is more imitative than any other medium, would not become artistic but rather stimulating mimicry. When photographs or movies first appear, people have been interested in saving money by simply storing scenes in front of them or imitating stimulating scenes before realizing their artistic value. In this way, Bazin warned us that when the cheap pleasure derived from the simple imitation of fact is concatenated with the logic of capitalism, the film falls into a subordinate medium and drops the value of human beings indescribably. He therefore argues that cinema must transcend simple imitative dimensions by exploiting various abstract expressions in its own language. His works about the realism in cinema is meaningful in that the value of true realism of the movie is important to build up humanism today in respect that the movie raises extensively the logic of capitalism through visual pleasure.
