Comparison shopping is the most popular functionality in the e-Marketplace. Most of their revenue has been generated kent the Internet advertisement, but the ad earning was declined as the ad costing per action method widespread. Seller less familiar to the customer shrinks from chances for advertising and exposing their products. So, we need an efficient methodology subject to the seller's ad budget and other constraints, and it also has to increase comparison broker's earning in the e-Marketplace. Our research proposed and developed an ad planning methodology using comparison challenge approach which can be applied by 3$^{rd}$ party comparison brokers. Comparison challenge planning is organized with challenge policy of competitor level, product level and specification level. With that policies and basic challenge propositions, we measure the quantified value of functional distance between the specifications of my product and competitor's product. My product challenges the comparison using the comparative ad format to the similar but inferior competitor's product based on quantified valuation. Comparison challenge planning system has two phases of comparative value generation and optimization. We developed a prototype system and applied it to the desktop PC market of five major manufacturers. Our performance was emphasized by comparing to other comparative ad methods such as random display method and minimum distance method..

The water footprint of product and service is the total volume of freshwater consumed, directly and indirectly, in the life cycle of a product and service. Up to date, water consumption data for industries and products were not well quantified and developed. Especially it is important to construct for agriculture industry which consumes lots of water. In this study, by using Cropwat 8.0 model, we tried to evaluate regionalized water consumption related with rice production in agriculture industry in eight regions (Gangwon, Gyeongi, Gyeongbuk, Gyeongnam, Jeonnam, Jeonbuk, Chungnam, Chungbuk). As a result, Gyeongbuk region has the lowest water consumption in rice production, which is $1,356.68m^3/ton$, on the other hand, Jeonnam region has the highest water consumption ($1,669.54m^3/ton$). By using the average indirect water consumption ($1,487.87m^3/ton$) of eight regions and direct water consumption, the total water footprint for the rice amount of rice bowl size (130 g), which is 193.6 L was calculated. Based on this research approach, we should develop water footprint database of all agriculture products and expand to other industrial sectors.

This research, which is quite different from previous studies, has tried to understand the relationships among aesthetic dimensions, on the basis of product aesthetic and how these consumer preferences change according to changes of these dimensions. For this research, the factors of simplicity/complexity and balance among many aesthetic elements were chosen through experiment, and products which are on the market were divided into 4 categories with the FCB Grid. Two products of each respective category were selected and a typical model was chosen for each other. These models were changed only with the factors of simplicity/complexity and balance, in order to make a show-card. The relationships between simplicity/complexity, balance, and consumer preferences has been proven with the show-card. The measured value change of consumer preferences will be provided for design development as basic data. The relationship among the various aesthetic dimensions will improve through consistent research.

Writing instruments or pens have many features not commonly found in other products in terms of their structure and characteristics of use. That is, different pens are usually composed of almost identical parts and/or structure. The fact they work always grabbed in hands considered, the ergonomic design of pens is essential. Reports indicate consumers evaluate pens in writing comfort above all other factors when they select pens. Among various factors related to writing comfort, it shouldspecifically be the ergonomic improvements that design can effectively contribute to. Studies on the pen-grabbing comfort or on approaches based on the understanding of human-work relationships generally lack when compared with fashion-conscious aesthetic approaches to pen design. This paper, therefore, aims to reestablish the ergonomic design criteria including the necessities of specifications required to provide indispensable data for the pen design processes. Consequently, it should produce basic set of information for systematic approach to pen design and development, which is commonly called'concurrent engineering'. Also a cost-effective solution for product diversification strategy could be attributed to a modular system database based on the result of this attempt.

The structural model of midship section is within the scope of STEP AP218. It supports to represent the ship structure, but most of shipyards and classification societies exchange the information using 2D drawings at the present. To translate the 2D information into the ship structure model of STEP AP218, we analyze the 2D midship section information of KR-TRAS of Korean Register of shipping, and include the transverse members information with the 3D model. We also define the mapping table and the mapping relationships between two data structures. With this mapping table we develop the translator for the midship section, and visualize the translated ship structure model using a STEP viewer. The ship structure model can be used to exchange information between design departments, and through the lifecycle of design, analysis, and maintenance.

The Korean spine geometry and property data for researchers were made by KISTI and Catholic Institute for Applied Anatomy. We took whole spine CT, X-Ray, BMD scan for making high resolution cross-sectional spine images using more 20 donated cadavers(60 - 80 years). Then we constructed 3-dimensional volume model using serial CT images by Mimics software. The major morphometric parameters of vertebrae were measured. Mechanical motion and property data were obtained by the same cadavers using the DEXA for BMD and the spine simulator. The Korean spine geometry and property data could be used for research and development of medical device.

도금공업은 주로 금속, 플라스틱 등을 소재로 하는 각종 제품의 표면을 전기적 또는 화학적 방법에 따라 석출된 비철금속질로 피복가공하여 제품의 내식, 장식적 효과 내마모성, 전기특성, 광택성, 열특성등 많은 기능을 부가하는 것을 의미한다. 이러한 도금산업은 각종 유해한 화학물질을 취급하는 관계로 도금폐수도 역시 많은 유독한 화학약품이 포함되어 있어 엄격한 규제가 요구되고 있다. 현재의 도금폐수처리는 대부분 위탁업자에 의해 이루어 지고 있으며, 위탁업자는 웅집침전법에 의한 슬러지화(함수율 80% 이하) 하여 매립되고 있는 실정이다. 이 매립물은 침출수를 방출하여 환경에 새로운 문제를 야기시키고 있다. 이러한 도금폐수 중 유가금속(Zn, Cr, Ni, Cu등)을 membrane을 이용하여 회수하고, 생성되는 물을 도금공정에 다시 투입하므로서 공해가 없는 무공해공정을 설계하는 기초자료를 얻는데 본 연구의 목적이 있다. 본 실험에서는 유가금속 중 Cr을 회수하기 위하여 Cr도금 모델폐수를 이용하여 Cr의 농도, 압력, pH등을 변화시키면서 membrane과 Cr의 상관성을 살펴보았다.

본 연구는 복잡하고 다양한 반도체 공저의 모델링을 통하여 반도체 공정 표준화 작업을 목적으로 하고 있다. 급변하는 세계 반도체 시장에서 국내 반도체 업체가 수위를 지킬 수 있는 방안은 공정의 표준화를 제시함으로써 생산업체에서의 신기술 개발에 따른 어려움을 해소하고 기술 개발과 더불어 생산관리 쪽으로의 이동에 대응할 수 있도록 하여 국제 경쟁력을 키워야 할 것이다. 본 연구의 기대효과로는 현장기술자와 장비운용자의 질적 향상을 위한 교육용 자료로의 활용이 가능하다는 것이다. Presentation Tool을 이용한 시청각 교육효과와 시뮬레이션을 이용한 Process Flow Wide View 증진은 현재 국내 반도체 업체들의 신입사원 교육 시 상당한 효과를 거둘 것이라 예상된다. 이는 생산업체에 국한되어지는 것만은 아니며 반도체 공정에 관련된 대학 학과목에서도 활용되어지리라 생각된다. 또한 Modeling & Simulation Tool을 사용하여 공정을 모델링함으로써 표준화를 만든 후 각 제조 업체들은 이러한 모델들은 이용하여 회사의 실정에 맞추어 자사에 대한 시뮬레이션을 손쉽게 수행함으로써 공정 최적화에 따른 경비 절감의 효과를 거둘 수 있을 것이다. 제품별 혹은 같은 제품이라도 Version이 다를 경우 FAB 공정가운데 약 10% 내외만이 바뀌는 점을 감안하면 본 연구를 통해 얻어지는 결과물인 Computer Model과 Simulator는 쉽게 생산현장에 적용할 수 있으리라 여겨진다.

Since software and hardware integration has became a strategic tool for companies to innovate their products, an information system that can comprehensively manage software and hardware integrated product development is critical for the current product development. This paper proposed a product data model that can support modules of related software and hardware parts in Product Data Management(PDM) integrated with Software Configuration Management(SCM). The model allows engineers to define software and hardware product structure independently, and support the integration module that can summon related software and hardware parts to build a comprehensive module for collaboration. Through the integration module, engineers can identify and examine the effectiveness of their design alternatives to other related parts form different disciplines. The product data model was implemented as a prototype PDM system and tested with an example robotics product.
