Bolted joint connection is the most commonly used connection element in structures and devices. The loosening due to external dynamic loads cannot be observed and measured easily and may cause catastrophic loss especially in an extreme requirement and/or environment. In this paper, an innovative Real-time Cross-Correlation Method (RCCM) for monitoring of the bolted joint loosening was proposed. We apply time reversal process on stress wave propagation to obtain correlation signal. The correlation signal's peak amplitude represents the cross-correlation between the loosening state and the baseline working state; therefore, it can detect the state of loosening. Since the bolt states are uncorrelated with noise, the peak amplitude will not be affected by noise and disturbance while it increases SNR level and increases the measured signals' reliability. The correlation process is carried out online through physical wave propagation without any other post offline complicated analyses and calculations. We implemented the proposed RCCM on a single bolt/nut joint experimental device to quantitatively detect the loosening states successfully. After that we implemented the proposed method on a real large structure (reaction wall) with multiple bolted joint connections. Loosening indexes were built for both experiments to indicate the loosening states. Finally, we demonstrated the proposed method's great anti-noise and/or disturbance ability. In the instrumentation, we simply mounted Lead Zirconium Titanate (PZT) patches on the device/structure surface without any modifications of the bolted connection. The low-cost PZTs used as actuators and sensors for active sensing are easily extended to a sensing network for large scale bolted joint network monitoring.

신경회로망을 동적 정보처리에 응용하기 위해서는 비대칭 결합 신경회로망에서 생성하는 동적 상태천이에 관한 직관적 이해가 필요하다. 자기결합을 갖고 결합하중치가 비대칭인 순환결합형 신경회로망은 복수 개의 리미트사이클을 기억할 수 있다는 것이 알려져 있다. 현재까지 이산시간 모델의 네트워크에 대한 상태천이 해석은 상세하게 이루어져 왔다. 그러나 연속시간모델에 대한 해석은 네트워크 규모의 증가에 따른 급격한 계산량의 증가 때문에 그다지 활발하게 연구가 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 각 뉴런이 최근접 뉴런에만 이진화된 결합하중 +1 및 -1로 연결된 연속시간모델 순환결합형 신경회로망의 동적인 상태천이 특성을 해석하여 이산시간 모델에서 기억 가능한 리미트사이클과의 차이점을 분석하였다. 또한 뉴런의 활성화 함수가 완전선형인 경우와 구분선형 근사인 네트워크에 대한 리미트사이클의 안정성을 해석하였다.

Background : Repeated dis/re-connection of implant abutment caused bone loss around implant fixtures due to the new formation of biologic width of the mucosal-implant barrier. The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate whether the repeated dis/re-connection of implant abutment cause bone loss clinically and the effect of cleansing methods on a bone loss during the early healing period. Methods : A total 50 implants were installed in 20 patients and repeated dis/re-connection of abutment was performed at the time of surgery and once per week for 12 weeks. 0.9% normal saline solution as group1 and 0.1% chlorhexidine solution as group 2 was used to clean abutments. All patients had radiographs taken at the placement of implant and 4, 8, and 12 weeks postoperatively. The data for bone loss around implant were analyzed. Results: The marginal bone loss at 12 weeks were $1.28{\pm}0.51mm$, $1,32{\pm}0,57mm$ in the mesial and distal sides in group1, $1.94{\pm}0.75mm$, $1.81{\pm}0.84mm$ in group 2, respectively. In view of marginal bone loss, there was not a significant statistical difference between groups. Conclusions : Repeated dis/re-connection of implant abutment may not cause marginal bone loss around implant fixture although limited samples and short-term observation period. In spite of more bone loss in group 2, there was no statistical significant difference between groups. In context of those results, the clinical significance of the repeated dis/re-connection of implant abutment and the cleansing method of abutments is debatable when it comes to marginal bone loss during early healing period.

Reduced beam section (RBS) moment resisting connections are among the most economical and practical rigid steel connections developed in the aftermath of the 1994 Northridge and the 1995 Kobe earthquakes. Although the performance of RBS connection has been widely studied, this connection has not been subject to in the skewed conditions. In this study, the seismic performance of dogbone connection was investigated at different angles. The Commercial ABAQUS software was used to simulate the samples. The numerical results are first compared with experimental results to verify the accuracy. Nonlinear static analysis with von Mises yield criterion materials and the finite elements method were used to analyze the behavior of the samples The selected Hardening Strain of materials at cyclic loading and monotonic loading were kinematics and isotropic respectively The results show that in addition to reverse twisting of columns, change in beam angle relative to the central axis of the column has little impact on hysteresis response of samples. Any increase in the angle, leads to increased non-elastic resistance. As for Weak panel zone, with increase of the angle between the beam and the column, the initial submission will take place at a later time and at a larger rotation angle in the panel zone and this represents reduced amount of perpendicular force exerted on the column flange. In balanced and strong panel zones, with increase in the angle between the beam and the central axis of the column, the reduced beam section (RBS), reaches the failure limit faster and at a lower rotation angle. In connection of skewed beam, balanced panel zone, due to its good performance in disposition of plasticity process away from connection points and high energy absorption, is the best choice for panel zone. The ratio of maximum moment developed on the column was found to be within 0.84 to 1 plastic anchor point, which shows prevention of brittle fracture in connections.

PURPOSE. Limited data is available regarding the differences for possible microleakage problems and fitting accuracy of zirconia versus titanium abutments with various connection designs. The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of connection design and abutment material on the sealing capability and fitting accuracy of abutments. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 42 abutments with different connection designs [internal conical (IC), internal tri-channel (IT), and external hexagonal (EH)] and abutment materials [titanium (Ti) and zirconia (Zr)] were evaluated. The inner parts of implants were inoculated with $0.7{\mu}L$ of polymicrobial culture (P. gingivalis, T. forsythia, T. denticola and F. nucleatum) and connected with their respective abutments under sterile conditions. The penetration of bacteria into the surrounding media was assessed by the visual evaluation of turbidity at each time point and the number of colony forming units (CFUs) was counted. The marginal gap at the implant- abutment interface (IAI) was measured by scanning electron microscope. The data sets were statistically analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis followed by Mann-Whitney U tests with the Bonferroni-Holm correction (${\alpha}=.05$). RESULTS. Statistically significant difference was found among the groups based on the results of leaked colonies (P<.05). The EH-Ti group characterized by an external hexagonal connection were less resistant to bacterial leakage than the groups EH-Zr, IT-Zr, IT-Ti, IC-Zr, and IC-Ti (P<.05). The marginal misfit (in ${\mu}m$) of the groups were in the range of 2.7-4.0 (IC-Zr), 1.8-5.3 (IC-Ti), 6.5-17.1 (IT-Zr), 5.4-12.0 (IT-Ti), 16.8-22.7 (EH-Zr), and 10.3-15.4 (EH-Ti). CONCLUSION. The sealing capability and marginal fit of abutments were affected by the type of abutment material and connection design.

This paper presents the design and implementation of a QoS based IrDA in mobile phones. The IrDA standards have arised from the need to connect various mobile devices together. But currently, we have a difficult to connecting various mobile devices together. The difficult thing is to adjust the minimum turn around time. The minimum turn around time in IrDA deals with the time needed for a receiver circuit to recover following saturation by transmissions from the same device (turn around latency). This parameter corresponds to the required time delay between the last byte of the last frames sent by a station and the point at which it is ready the first byte of a frame from another station. This parameter comes into play when the link is turned around and is negotiated independency for each station. We solve this matter by using the Dynamic Adjustment Algorithm (DAA). The dynamic adjustment algorithm adjusts the minimum turn around time according to the numbers of devices. We apply our direct adjustment algorithm to our QoS based IrDA in mobile phones and show the improved performance of connection with various mobile phones together.

This paper proposes a transient (predictive) connection admission control (CAC) scheme using the transient quality of service (QoS) measure for CDMA cellular systems with bursts On-Off sources. We need an approximate and bounded approach for real-time CAC applications. We derive the transient outage probability as the QoS measure using the Chernoff bound and the refuted large deviation approximation. Numerical results show that the predictive CAC is a promising approach for the multicell CDMA systems.

Four computational algorithms are discussed and compared which calculate the blocking probabilities in the multi-slot connection traffic for the wide-band services. The computational complexity and time can be significantly reduced, and the overflow and underflow problem can be circumvented as well, by a newly proposed algorithm, the last one.
