Determining the simultaneous flow rate in any particular section of piping is the important step in order to determine the size of water supply piping. Now we are using the diversity curve of common water closet in order to determine the simultaneous flow rate of water supply piping, but there is a difference between a determined flow rate of general water closet and that of water closet for water saving. This study aims to find out the fixture unit of a flush valve type water closet for water saving in office building, and to determine the correlation between the fixture units and peak flow rates on the basis of the probability theory. A flush valve type water closet for water saving that have a 7.5 second duration of flush operation with an average design flow rate 72 $\ell$/fin was considered. Simulation results indicate that the number 5 is shown to be reasonable to the fixture unit of water closet for water saving. And the design can be undersized considerably with the revised diversity curves using modified fixture unit.

Functional school planning has long been considered a fundamental concept of school design. However. in planning educational facilities, it is also important to include the dimensions of comfort, convenience and healthfulness. The school lavatories and drinking fountains are one of most crucial elements for the recent changing face in healthful school design, but the number of lavatories and drinking fountains in most schools may not be sufficient to meet current needs. This study aims to suggest a guideline in designing school sanitary fixture and propose the optimal number of lavatories and drinking fountains regarded to age and sex. The survey is conducted through questionnaires collected from 998 respondents including 300 teachers In ChungNam province. Based on the results of the survey and a formulae, it is suggested that the number of lavatories be required by ratio of 30 boys per unit fixture and 22 girls per unit fixture in the elementary, middle and high school. It is also suggested that the number of drinking fountains be required by ratio of 65 students per unit fixture. The formulae proposed in this paper can be used for other plumbing fixtures required in school facilities.

A currently used roof green system with multi layers has a low constructability. Therefore a new integrated waterproof & root barrier sheet and roof green box unit system was developed using steel plate fixture and cone type fixture by electromagnetic induction heating method. This study was proceeded to evaluate adhesion performance of two types of fixtures on Engineering PE, TPO, PVC sheet in a normal condition, repeated heating and cooling condition. As a result, adhesion load on Engineering PE sheet showed the highest value. The adhesion loads of steel plate fixture showed higher value as heating temperature was getting higher. However adhesion loads of cone type fixture showed opposite tendency. Regarding to the test conditions, test results of normal condition, repeated heating and cooling condition showed same value. The cone type fixture using butyl tape showed 7 times lower adhesion load than that of cone type fixture using electromagnetic heating and 28% lower adhesion load in a repeated heating and cooling condition than a usual condition.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanical effects when one implant fixture was connected to the natural teeth with reduced alveolar bone height. This study also examined the effects of increasing the number of abutment teeth and the effects of the intramobile connector and the titanium connector as they were inserted between the implant superstructure and the fixture. The distribution and concentration load was applied to the fixed partial denture(FPD) supported by implant and the natural teeth with reduced alveolar bone height. The stress and displacement of each element was observed and compared by the two-dimensional finite element method. The following results were obtained : 1. The greater the loss of alveolar bone in natural teeth area, the greater the displacement of FPD and the stress concentration in alveolar bone around implant, especially at the stress concentration in the mesial alveolar bone crest around implant fixture. 2. The displacement of FPD was increased more and that of implants fixture was decreased more when intramobile connector was used than titanium connector was used. Also the stress concentration in alveolar bone around implant fixture was greater when intramobile connector than titanium connector. One implication of this finding was that the difference in stiffness of implant and the natural teeth with reduced alveolar bone height could be partially compensated in case of the POM intramobile connector. 3. The amount and direction of displacement and the stress distribution of the 4-unit FPD was better than those of the 3-unit FPD. It implied that the difference of stiffness of implant and natural teeth with reduced alveolar bone height could be partially compensated in case of the 4 unit FPD.

The purpose of this study was to compare the distributing pattern of stress on the finite element models of two units implant prosthesis with one angulated placement of two implant fixtures. The two unit implant crowns simulated to mandibular first and second molars were made. The two kinds of finite element models were designed according to angulation of fixture ($4.0mm{\times}11.5mm$) : Model 1($15^{\circ}$ buccally angulated placement of one fixture on second molar area), Model 2($15^{\circ}$ lingually angulated placement of one fixture on second molar area). Axial loads of 200N were applied to the center of central fossa and to distance of 2mm and 4mm apart from the center of central fossa. Von-Mises stresses were recorded and compared in the fixtures, and buccolingual section of implants. The results were as follows: 1. Under axial loading at the central fossa, the stress was distributed along the straight fixture except apical portion, while on buccally or lingually angulated placement, the highest stresses were concentrated in the neck portion on the opposite side of the angulated fixture. 2. With offset distance increasing, the stresses were concentrated greater in buccal neck of lingually angulated fixture than in lingual neck of buccally angulated fixture. From the above results, in designing of the occlusal scheme for implant prosthesis with the angulated fixture, occlusal contacts should be placed to distribute stress axially in maximum intercuspation and to avoid offset force during eccentric movements.

Statement of problem. Accurate fit between the implant components is important because the misfit of the implant components results in frequent screw loosening, irreversible screw fracture, plaque accumulation, poor soft tissue reaction, and destruction of osseointegration. Purpose. This study is to evaluate the machining accuracy and consistency of the implant fixture/ abutment/screw interfaces of the internal connection system by using a Stereoscopic Zoom microscope and FE-SEM(field emission scanning electron microscope) Materials and methods. The implant systems selected in this study were internal connection type implants from AVANA(Osstem^{\circledR}), Bioplant(Cowell-Medi^{\circledR}), Dio(DIO^{\circledR}), Neoplant(Neobiotech 􀋓), Implantium(Dentium􀋓)systems. Each group was acquired 2 fixtures at random. Two piece type abutment and one piece type abutment for use with each implant system were acquired. Screw were respectively used to hold a two piece type abutment to a implant fixture. The implant fixtures were perpendiculary mounted in acrylic resin block. Each two piece abutment was secured to the implant fixture by screw and one piece abutment also secured to the implant fixture. Abutment/fixture assembly were mounted in liquid unsaturated polyester. All samples were cross-sectioned with grinder-polisher unit. Finally all specimens were analysed the fit between implant fixture/abutment/screw interfaces Results and conclusions. 1. Implant fixture/abutment/screw connection interfaces of internal connection systems made in Korea were in good condition. 2. The results of the above study showed that materials and mechanical properties and quality of milling differed depending on their manufacturing companies.

In this study, flexible fixtures and end effectors are conceptually designed for the holding of thin-walled carbon-fiber reinforced-plastic (CFRP) workpieces in machining processes. Firstly, the fixture scenarios and system requirements for the conceptual designs of flexible-fixture and core units are proposed, including the propounding of the workpiece-holding mechanism and the core-unit requirements. A ball-joint pneumatic system is determined as a locking mechanism of the flexible-fixture system for the machining of thin-walled components. Secondly, conceptual designs of the core units are suggested with the driven requirements from the fixture scenarios. A self-tilting mechanism and an end-effector return mechanism are also proposed. Finally, the prototypes of the core units are manufactured, and the workpiece-holding capacity of each prototype is measured.

This paper introduces a new design and fabrication technology of 28 GHz low-cost up and down converter modules for digital microwave radios, The design of the converter module is based on unit circuit blocks, which are to be characterized using a special test fixture. Based on the cascade analysis of the module the 28 GHz up and down converter modules have been designed and implemented. The measured module performance agrees with the cascade analysis. New components such as a tapped edge-coupled filter and a new Ka-band waveguide-to-microstrip transition, which are less sensitive to fabrication tolerances, have been used in the module implementation.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate mechanical fit of fixture- abutment-screw interface in the internal connection implant systems. In this study, each two randomly selected internal implant fixture- abutment assemblys from Certain, Xive, Replace, Ankylos, SS II. were used. The implants were perpendicularly mounted in liquid unsaturated polyester by use of dental surveyor. Each abutment was connected to the implant with recommended torque value using a torque controller. All samples were cross-sectioned with grinder-polisher unit after embeded in liquid unsaturated polyester, and then fixture-abutment-screw interfaces of all samples by using optical microscope and scanning electron microscope were analyzed. Conclusively, although a little variation in machining accuracy and consistency was noted in the samples, important features of all internal connection systems were the deep, internal fixture-abutment connections which provides intimate contact with the implant walls to resist micromovement, resulting in a strong stable interface.
