An agent Is an autonomous process that recognizes external environment, exchanges knowledge with external machines and performs an autonomous decision-making function in order to achieve common goals. The techniques fur tackling complexity in software need to be introduced. That is decomposition, abstraction and organization. Agent-oriented model ing has the merits of decomposition. In decomposition, each autonomous unit may have a control thread. Thread is single sequential flow in program. The use of thread in agent modeling has an important meaning in the performance of CPU and the relation of autonomous units.

A piezoelectric actuator. which is composed of a piezoelectrically driven stator and a rotor, Is made and the characteristics are investigated experimentally is a new ultrasonic actuator which transforms rotary motion to linear one is proposed and proved to work successfully. If an ultrasonic wave is excited to propagate in the stator, particles on the internal surface move elliptically. Since the internal surface is machined as an internal thread and an external thread(rotor) is put into the stator. the external thread is rotated through the friction force and moved in the axial direction. The traveling wave is excited by a piezoelectric element bonded to the stator. This idea is firstly proposed by S. Ueha, et al. in 1987. However, efficiency of their actuator is less than 3%. In this study, in order to improve characteristics of this type actuator, we used various pitches and number of the screw thread, and materials of rotor, and we obtained good charcteristics.

Background: Radio-telemetry is a useful method to investigate the spatial ecology of species in the wild, by tracking the signal of a transmitter attached to an individual. The method of attaching a transmitter to a snake is representatively divided into surgical implantation, and external attachment, which latter is often used in small snake species. Results: In this study, we evaluated and compared the utility of two external attachment methods, the nylon thread method and the tape method, applied to a small grassland snake species of approximately 50 cm snout-vent length, the Slender racer (Orientocoluber spinalis), on an island in the Republic of Korea. The nylon thread method and the tape method were applied to four and five individuals, and radio-tracked for an average of eight and eleven days, respectively. The nylon thread method caused individual injury and disturbed their movement, while using the tape method, the transmitter package sometimes dropped off, but no injury or movement problems occurred. Conclusions: Considering that poor understanding of how to attach the transmitter makes it difficult to investigate the spatial ecology of small snake species, the tape method, evaluated in this study, could be applied to attach a transmitter and to study spatial ecology of such snakes.

This paper describes the numerical determination of optimum blank diameter for sound material flow and high precise thread profile of a spindle screw through external thread rolling using two-three roll dies. Initial blank diameter affects the dimensional accuracy and surface finish qualities of a spindle screw in thread rolling process, therefore it is very important to determine the optimum blank diameter in thread rolling process. In order to determine the optimum blank diameter, this paper suggests the calculation method of initial bland diameter considering the real shape of tooth. The finite element code DEFORM is applied to analyze the metal flow of tooth, and these analytical results are verified by thread rolling experiment for spindle screw.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of abutment screw length and cyclic loading on the removal torque (RTV) in external hex (EH) and internal hex (IH) implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Forty screw-retained single crowns were connected to external and internal hex implants. The prepared titanium abutment screws were classified into 8 groups based on the number of threads (n = 5 per group): EH 12.5, 6.5, 3.5, 2.5 and IH 6.5, 5, 3.5, 2.5 threads. The abutment screws were tightened with 20 Ncm torque twice with 10-minute intervals. After 5 minutes, the initial RTVs of the abutment screws were measured with a digital torque gauge (MGT12). A customized jig was constructed to apply a load along the implant long axis at the central fossa of the maxillary first molar. The post-loading RTVs were measured after 16,000 cycles of mechanical loading with 50 N at a 1-Hz frequency. Statistical analysis included one-way analysis of variance and paired t-tests. RESULTS. The post-loading RTVs were significantly lower than the initial RTVs in the EH 2.5 thread and IH 2.5 thread groups (P<.05). The initial RTVs exhibited no significant differences among the 8 groups, whereas the post-loading RTVs of the EH 6.5 and EH 3.5 thread groups were higher than those of the IH 3.5 thread group (P<.05). CONCLUSION. Within the limitations of this study, the external hex implants with short screw lengths were more advantageous than internal hex implants with short screw lengths in torque maintenance after cyclic loading.

This paper proposes an improved architecture of web-based monitoring systems for monitor of processes in plants from the soft real-time point of view. The suggested model is designed to be able to guarantee the temporal and spatial consistency and transmit the monitoring data periodically via the intranet and the Internet. The model generates one thread for monitoring management, one DB thread, one common memory, and corresponding monitoring threads to clients. The monitoring thread is executed during the smaller time than the execution time of the process used in the conventional methods such as CGI and servlet method. The Java API for the server API, VRML, EAI(External Authoring Interface) and Java Applets for efficient dimensional WEB monitoring are used. The proposed model is implemented and tested for a FMS plant, Some examples show that the proposed model is useful one.

The systematic study of the future began with curiosity and imagination about the future; a unique trait of human mental effort-and this seems to be based on the idea that the future can be different depending on current choices or effort. In this sense, it would be seemly to encourage more interest and academic study on the progress of future fashion. In this study, we examine recent changes of fashion material; e.g. that which science and technology have more impact and importance in futuristic fashion since the 1990�s. The period analysed is from the1990's to the present and related data from recent fashion collections and fashion books has also been included The current prediction of the future is largely based on what was formed between the 19th Century and the 20th Century which has persisted until now and has been influenced by the view that science will play a bigger role in the future. This is especially reflected in fashion which chiefly represents material culture. New materials used for fashion are strong and permanently durable, in addition to being very light, thin, flexible, hygienic, ecological and comfortable to wear-almost like a second skin. These fashionable new materials roughly function in two different ways according to external and internal characteristics. First, they cause external change. Second, they exemplify or allow new functions. Examples of external change are the use of silver color, achromatic color, metallic material, smooth-to-the-touch shiny material and the use of luminous material. Examples of the extended function of clothing through the use of new materials are the use of conducting thread, the use of special material for blocking & opening and the use of material which changes colors as the surroundings change. These days, the use of new material which changes its appearance is a novelty unique to the fashion world but we also expect to witness the debut of diverse new materials with extended inner functions.
