A vacant technology forecasting is an important issue in management of technology. The forecast of vacant technology leads to the growth of nation and company. So, we need the results of technology developments until now to predict the vacant technology. Patent is an objective thing of the results in research and development of technology. We study a predictive method for forecasting the vacant technology quantitatively using patent data in this paper. We propose an ensemble model that is to vote some clustering criteria because we can't guarantee a model is optimal. Therefore, an objective and accurate forecasting model of vacant technology is researched in our paper. This model combines statistical analysis methods with machine learning algorithms. To verify our performance evaluation objectively, we make experiments using patent documents of diverse technology fields.

Recently, as the advent of the knowledge-based society, there are more people getting interested in the intellectual property. Especially, the ICT companies leading the high-tech industry are working hard to strive for systematic management of intellectual property. As we know, the patent information represents the intellectual capital of the company. Also now the quantitative analysis on the continuously accumulated patent information becomes possible. The analysis at various levels becomes also possible by utilizing the patent information, ranging from the patent level to the enterprise level, industrial level and country level. Through the patent information, we can identify the technology status and analyze the impact of the performance. We are also able to find out the flow of the knowledge through the network analysis. By that, we can not only identify the changes in technology, but also predict the direction of the future research. In the field using the network analysis there are two important analyses which utilize the patent citation information; citation indicator analysis utilizing the frequency of the citation and network analysis based on the citation relationships. Furthermore, this study analyzes whether there are any impacts between the size of the company and patent citation relationships. 74 S&P 500 registered companies that provide IT and communication services are selected for this study. In order to determine the relationship of patent citation between the companies, the patent citation in 2009 and 2010 is collected and sociomatrices which show the patent citation relationship between the companies are created. In addition, the companies' total assets are collected as an index of company size. The distance between companies is defined as the absolute value of the difference between the total assets. And simple differences are considered to be described as the hierarchy of the company. The QAP Correlation analysis and MR-QAP analysis is carried out by using the distance and hierarchy between companies, and also the sociomatrices that shows the patent citation in 2009 and 2010. Through the result of QAP Correlation analysis, the patent citation relationship between companies in the 2009's company's patent citation network and the 2010's company's patent citation network shows the highest correlation. In addition, positive correlation is shown in the patent citation relationships between companies and the distance between companies. This is because the patent citation relationship is increased when there is a difference of size between companies. Not only that, negative correlation is found through the analysis using the patent citation relationship between companies and the hierarchy between companies. Relatively it is indicated that there is a high evaluation about the patent of the higher tier companies influenced toward the lower tier companies. MR-QAP analysis is carried out as follow. The sociomatrix that is generated by using the year 2010 patent citation relationship is used as the dependent variable. Additionally the 2009's company's patent citation network and the distance and hierarchy networks between the companies are used as the independent variables. This study performed MR-QAP analysis to find the main factors influencing the patent citation relationship between the companies in 2010. The analysis results show that all independent variables have positively influenced the 2010's patent citation relationship between the companies. In particular, the 2009's patent citation relationship between the companies has the most significant impact on the 2010's, which means that there is consecutiveness regarding the patent citation relationships. Through the result of QAP correlation analysis and MR-QAP analysis, the patent citation relationship between companies is affected by the size of the companies. But the most significant impact is the patent citation relationships that had been done in the past. The reason why we need to maintain the patent citation relationship between companies is it might be important in the use of strategic aspect of the companies to look into relationships to share intellectual property between each other, also seen as an important auxiliary of the partner companies to cooperate with.

Ten years ago most papermakers were convinced that a system needs to be voluminous and heavy for controllability and stability. In order to improve grade changing dynamics, the author of this paper began developing a compact papermachine wet end. The results have proven that compactness is beneficial even more broadly. Quoting Voith$^1$the trend is now the opposite - the systematic collecting and direct feeding of the individual water flows back into the system". In its gasless form this is actually covered by a POM Technology Patent.tent.

The successive round of talks oil Korea-USA Free Trade Agreement (FTA) has continued, and it also has the Intellectual property(IPR) unit. Until now, tile one of most disputing concerns in IPR unit through talks is the limitation of compulsory license of claimed invention. The US is urging to establish a safeguard for IPR, as similar measure of the US, to protecting the profit of the US enterprises through these on-going talks, it is more likely expected to take the offensive about infringement of the patent seriously. Based on the current circumstances, the provision strategy study is needed to obtain Korea inventors the first inventor defense under the US patent law system as well as understand the current Korea's patent law and its revision against that in the US. In patent Law, both nations with first to file system and first to invent system permit a prior user of an invention to continue to use the invention notwithstanding its subsequent patenting by another under being subject to certain qualifications and limitations, even though a patent by a later inventor is granted. Normally, the first inventor defense has been used to compensate the drawbacks of the first to file system. The US patent Law, however, adopting the first to invent system admits the first inventor defense. Therefore, pursuing counteract provision under consideration with Korean patent Law system and research environment along with investigating the reason why the US adopted its patent law system, the scope of right, and the new reform of Act. 2005 of the institute, which promotes the first Korean inventor to possess the defense right of the US, provides certain preparations for Korean companies against the expected offensive from the US ones under the US patent Law system.

Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PAIVS) is rare, less than 1% of congenital heart disease. It needs a therapeutic approach according to its individual morphologic feature. Surgical treatment of valvotomy and modified Blalock-Taussig shunt or non-surgical interventional catheter balloon valvuloplasty can be used for mild to moderate hypoplasia of right ventricle. Fontan operation can be considered for less optimum morphological substrate of two ventricular repair. A 3-day-old male neonate was admitted with cyanosis and cardiac murmur. On echocardiogram, he had membranous pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, normal sized tripartite right ventricle, large atrial septal defect with right-to-left shunt, small sized patent ductus arteriosus, and moderate tricuspid regurgitation. He was treated with intravenous continuous infusion of prostaglandin $E_1$ ($PGE_1$) at once. On the third day of hospitalization, Balloon valvuloplasty was performed. After insertion of patent ductus arteriosus stent on the tenth day, $PGE_1$ infusion was discontinued. On the fifteenth day, he was discharged. Now, he is 9 months old and has nearly normal cardiac structure and function with 97% of percutaneous oxygen saturation.

The government-led top-down development approach for weapons system faces the problem of technological obsolescence now that technology has rapidly grown. As a result, the government has gradually expanded the corporate-led bottom-up project implementation method to the defense industry. The key success factor of the bottom-up project implementation is the ability of defense companies to plan their technologies. This paper presented a method of analyzing patent data through data mining technique so that domestic defense companies can utilize it for technology planning activities. The main content is to propose corporate selection techniques corresponding to the defense communication-electronics sectors and conduct principal component analysis and cluster analysis for the International Patent Classification. Through this, the technology was classified into four groups based on the patents of nine companies and the representative enterprises of each group were derived.
