  • Fruition for a diverse uIT(Ubiquitous Information Technology) service is currently required through the convergence of what is known as ubiquitous computing technology. In recent years, with the rapid growth of the need for information services, heavier demands have been made upon the supply of high-quality multimedia services that require a high bandwidth. Today, various home network solutions have been proposed to manage these service smoothly and a system able to deal with various types of network traffic without delays. In addition, in established home network environments that mix wired and wireless networks, along with the steady evolution of wireless network technology and the earnest development of ubiquitous computing technology, sensor-based wireless networks have emerged as a core solution for home networks. In this paper, a sensor network-based home control system supporting the next generation home gateway system for ubiquitous home environments is designed and implemented.

  • Purpose: A study analysed the stress distribution of abutment screw and supporting bone of fixture by the tightening torque force of the abutment screw within clinical treatment situation for the stability of the dental implant prosthesis. Methods: The finite element analysis was targeted to the mandibular molar crown model, and the implant was internal type 4.0 mm diameter, 10.0 mm length fixture and abutment screw and supporting bone. The occlusal surface was modeled in 4 cusps and loaded 100 N to the buccal cusps. The connection between the abutment and the fixture was achieved by combining three abutment tightening torque forces of 20, 25, and 30 Ncm. Results: The results showed that the maximum stress value of the supporting bone was found in the buccal cortical bone region of the fixture in all models. The von Mises stress value of each model showed 184.5 MPa at the 20 Ncm model, 195.3 MPa in the 25 Ncm model, and 216.5 MPa in the 30 Ncm model. The contact stress between the abutment and the abutment screw showed the stress value in the 20 Ncm model was 201.2 MPa, and the 245.5 MPa in the 25 Ncm model and 314.0 MPa in the 30 Ncm model. Conclusion: The increase of tightening force within the clinical range of the abutment screw of the implant dental prosthesis was found to have no problem with the stability of the supporting bone and the abutment screw.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of two different oblique mechanical loading to occlusal surfaces of cement retained implant on the stress distributions in surrounding bone, using 3-dimensional finite element method. Methods: A 3-dimensional finite element model of a cement retained implant composed of three unit implants, simplified ceramic crown and supporting bone was developed according to the design of ement retained implant for this study. two kinds of surface distributed oblique loads(100 N) are applied to following occlusal surfaces in the single crowns; 1) oblique load on 2 occlusal points(50N for each buccal cusp, 2 buccal cusps exist), 2) oblique load on 4 occlusal points(25N for each buccal and lingual cusp, 2 buccal and 2 lingual cusps exist) Results: The results of the comparison of the stress distributions on surrounding bone are as follows. In the condition of oblique load on 2 occlusal points, VMS was 741.3 Mpa in the M1(Ø$4.0{\times}13mm$) model and 251.2 Mpa in the M2(Ø$5.0{\times}13mm$) model. It means the stress on the supporting bone is decreased. The results of oblique load on 4 occlusal points are similar to this one. Conclusion: Increasing the diameter of the implant fixture is helpful to distribute the stress on the supporting bone. Also, to obtain the structural stability of the supporting bone, it is effective to distribute the load evenly on the occlusal surface of crown in producing single crown implant.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the biomechanical properties of the dental implants on the supporting bone using three-dimensional finite element method when three different abutment materials were applied to the implant system. Methods: Three different dental implant models were fabricated by applying Ti, PEEK, and CRE-PEEK (60% carbon-reinforced PEEK) to abutment material. The abutment and connecting screw from the fixture was applied with a tightening torque of 20 Ncm. And then, total loads of 150 N were applied in an $30^{\circ}oblique$ direction (to the vertical). The structural stability of dental implants on the supporting bone was analyzed using Von Mises stress and principal stress values. Results: The maximum tensile stress of the cortical bone was highest at 12.6 MPa in the PEEK abutment (Model-B). Ti abutment (Model-A) and CRE-PEEK abutment (Model-C) showed similar stress distributions (10.6 and 10.3 MPa, respectively). And the maximum compressive principal stress was similar in all models. The Von Mises stress value delivered to the bone around the implant was highest at 16.5 MPa in Model-B. On the other hand, Model-A and C showed similar stress distributions (14.0 and 13.8 MPa, respectively). In addition, the maximum equivalent stress applied to the abutment was highest at 629.8 MPa in Model-A. The stress distribution in Model-C was 573.9 MPa. Whereas, Model-B showed the lowest value at 165.6 MPa. Conclusion : The dental implant supporting bone system using PEEK material seems to have the possibility of supporting bone fracture. It was found that the CRE-PEEK abutment can reduce the elastic deformation and reduce the stress value of the interfacial bone.

  • The novelty of this paper is the use of trigonometric four variable plate theory for free vibration analysis of laminated rectangular plate supporting a localized patch mass. By dividing the transverse displacement into bending and shear parts, the number of unknowns and governing equations of the present theory is reduced, and hence, makes it simple to use. The Hamilton's Principle, using trigonometric shear deformation theory, is applied to simply support rectangular plates. Numerical examples are presented to show the effects of geometrical parameters such as aspect ratio of the plate, size and location of the patch mass on natural frequencies of laminated composite plates. It can be concluded that the proposed theory is accurate and simple in solving the free vibration behavior of laminated rectangular plate supporting a localized patch mass.

  • The issue of customer-centric enterprise focusing on realizing customer needs has recently received considerable attention in the corporate world. However, little research has yet been reported on developing Information Systems (IS) supporting the customer-centric enterprises. This research proposes an integrated approach of IS development that supports organizations aiming to become customer-centric enterprises using various customer profiles. In this paper, we propose an integrated approach unifying goal modeling, business process modeling, and information systems modeling. The approach is expected to be seamlessly linked with the object-oriented systems development approach. Finally, we apply this approach to the real case of a securities company in Japan.

  • For years, businesses have realized that story can persuade customers, familiarize people with the brand or the product, inspire team members and also mean big economic value. Storytelling, however, is regarded as such area depending only on the story director or writer's creativity and thus minimum efforts have been given to information technology development for supporting business storytelling process. This study aims to review existing information technologies for both traditional and relatively new storytelling genres, and regards their implications when applied to business storytelling. As the result of the qualitative study, three kinds of business storytelling supporting system architectures-brainstorming, writing manin story, participatory storytelling-are suggested and discussions on further works are briefly mentioned.
