  • The objective of this study is to observe and optimize a typical ocean environment and reduce wave reflections in the wave flume. In order to generate ocean waves in the wave flume, a combination of a horizontal piston type wave generator and wave absorbers was installed in the channel. Two probes for measuring the wave heights, i.e., wave level gauges, were used to record the continuous variation of the wave surface, the phase difference, and the maximum (crest) and minimum (trough) points of the propagating waves. In order to optimize the shape and size of the propagating waves, several absorption methods were proposed. Apart from an active wave absorption method, we used methods that involved vertical porous plates, horizontal punching plates, and sloping-wall-type wave absorbers. To obtain the best propagating waves, a sloping-wall-type wave absorber was chosen and tested in terms of the constitutive filling materials and the location and shape of the plate. This study also focused on the theoretical prediction of the wave surface, separating them into the incident and reflective components. From the results, it is evident that the wave absorber comprising a hard filling material exhibits a better performance than the absorber comprising a soft material, i.e., the wave absorber can be a strong sink to control the energy of the incoming wave. In addition, larger wave absorbers correspond to lower reflectance because a larger volume can reduce the incoming wave energy. Therefore, at constant absorber conditions, the reflectance of the wave increases as the wave period increases. Finally, the reflectance of the wave was controlled to be less than 0.1 in this study so that the wave flume can be used to simulate an offshore environment.

  • In wireless sensor networks, reliable event detection is one of the most important research issues. For the reliable event detection, previous works usually assume the events are only individual objects such as tanks and soldiers. Recently, many researches focus on detection of continuous objects such as wild fire and bio-chemical material, but they merely aim at methods to reduce communication costs. Hence, we propose a reliable continuous object detection scheme. However, it might not be trivial. Unlike individual objects that could be referred as a point, a continuous object is shown in a dynamic two-dimensional diagram since it may cover a wide area and it could dynamically alter its own shape according to physical environments, e.g. geographical conditions, wind, and so on. Hence, the continuous object detection reliability can not be estimated by the indicator for individual objects. This paper newly defines the reliability indicator for continuous object detection and proposes an error recovery mechanism relying on the estimation result from the new indicator.

  • STATEMENT OF PROBLEM. Unlike screw-retention type, fixture-abutment retention in Locking taper connection depends on frictional force so it has possibility of abutment to sink. PURPOSE. In this study, Bicon$^{(R)}$ Implant System, one of the conical internal connection implant system, was used with applying loading force to the abutments connected to the fixture. Then the amount of sinking was measured. MATERIAL AND METHODS. 10 Bicon$^{(R)}$ implant fixtures were used. First, the abutment was connected to the fixture with finger force. Then it was tapped with a mallet for 3 times and loads of 20 kg corresponding to masticatory force using loading application instrument were applied successively. The abutment state, slightly connected to the fixture without pressure was considered as a reference length, and every new abutment length was measured after each load's step was added. The amount of abutment sinking (mm) was gained by subtracting the length of abutment-fixture under each loading condition from reference length. RESULTS. It was evident, that the amount of abutment sinking in Bicon$^{(R)}$ Implant System increased as loads were added. When loads of 20 kg were applied more than 5 - 7 times, sinking stopped at $0.45{\pm}0.09\;mm$. CONCLUSION. Even though locking taper connection type implant shows good adaption to occlusal force, it has potential for abutment sinking as loads are given. When locking taper connection type implant is used, satisfactory loads are recommended for precise abutment location.

  • Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) is constituted by low-cost and low-energy, So the most important issue is that the task of the sensor performs successfully by using less energy. In previous WSN, determination of the header and gathering sensor data solution by header give great affection to the performance of network. In this paper, we propose a Hybrid transmission method which considers the direction of data collections. In the proposed hybrid routing method, all of the sensors determine that transmission the data to the sink node directly or indirectly using the head node depend on the location of the head node in the cluster. The performance is compared with the LEACH(Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) by experimental analysis. The results show that the preposed method can reduce the communication distance and energy consumption by avoiding the detour direction of transmission of the data.

  • In this study, we aim to derive a solution from the structural analysis for electrical failure of single board computers for computing navigation information. By analyzing the characteristic factor, we identify that crack occur on the central processing unit board due to a certain structural problem, and that the physical effect by the crack make communication function be impossible to perform, which it causes booting error. In order to find the location of excessive stress causing the crack, structural analysis for the single board computer is done. From the structural analysis, the areas where stress concentration occurs are identified, and improvement methods changing the structures are developed. As a result, we shows that stresses are reduced entirely on the stress distribution for the improved structure. In addition, heat analysis shows that changing the structure to reduce stresses is not affect to the heat radiation, and the thermal resistance of the actual equipment is verified by measuring the temperature of the heat sink applied with the improved structure.

  • A DC resistivity survey was performed to detect anomalies beneath concrete pavement. A set of high conductive media and planar electrodes were used to lessen the effect's a high contact resistance of concrete. Results of the resistivity survey were analyzed and compared with those of other geophysical surveys such as Ground Penetration Radar (GPR), Impulse Response (IR), and Multi-channel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW), which were carried out in the same location. The results of resistivity survey showed a high resistive distribution in the section of sink and pavement where a pattern of reinforcement was observed through the GPR survey. Also, a comparison of results between the IR and resistivity surveys indicated that the high resistivity was produced by the high dynamic stiffness in the reinforced section. The co-Kriging of both the results of DC resistivity and MASW surveys at the same location showed that an integrated geostatistical analysis is able to give more accurate description on the anomalous subsurface region than can a separate analysis of each geophysical approach. This study suggests that the integrated geostatistical approaches were used for a decision-making process based on the geophysical surveys.

  • Geographic Information System The geographic information system (GIS) has been limited to the government and some public sectors. Recently, the market has been diversified by combining with other areas such as mobile and CRM (Customer Relationship Management). The development direction of GIS technology in the 21st century is Web GIS, 3D GIS, mobile GIS, LBS, etc. as general technology for GIS application system development and spatial information service. In this study, we developed a new concept marking nail (a marking nail with built - in intelligent storage memory device) from the function of simple positioning of a marking nail related to a previously used underground item,, Burial depth, pipe thickness, piping material, management agency, contractor, contact, etc.) and store it in DB server, if necessary.Make it available in the right place. Through this research, it is possible to prevent and minimize various accidents caused by irregular excavation works, etc., and to provide information for establishing countermeasures related to sink holes. In order to provide systematic and reliable information on underground burial management, it was proposed to input information conveniently in the field, and the purpose was to reduce the incidence of buried underground pipes absolutely.
