In Information Technology era, various amazing IT technologies, for example Big Data, are appearing and are available as the amount of information increase. The number of counselling for violation of personal data protection is also increasing every year that it amounts to over 160,000 in 2012. According to Korean Privacy Act, in the case of treating unique personal identification information, appropriate measures like encipherment should be taken. The technologies of encipherment are the most basic countermeasures for personal data invasion and the base elements in information technology. So various cryptography algorithms exist and are used for encipherment technology. Therefore studies on safer new cryptography algorithms are executed. Cryptography algorithms started from classical replacement enciphering and developed to computationally secure code to increase complexity. Nowadays, various mathematic theories such as 'factorization into prime factor', 'extracting square root', 'discrete lognormal distribution', 'elliptical interaction curve' are adapted to cryptography algorithms. RSA public key cryptography algorithm which was based on 'factorization into prime factor' is the most representative one. This paper suggests algorithm utilizing telescoping series as a safer cryptography algorithm which can maximize the complexity. Telescoping series is a type of infinite series which can generate various types of function for given value-the plain text. Among these generated functions, one can be selected as a original equation. Some part of this equation can be defined as a key. And then the original equation can be transformed into final equation by improving the complexity of original equation through the command of "FullSimplify" of "Mathematica" software.

The number of horizontal tower cranes, major hoisting machineries for lifting approximately 50% of entire materials in construction projects, is rapidly increasing, but a number of accidents related to the tower cranes are being continuously occurred in construction sites as well. In particular, telescoping works in the horizontal tower cranes have showed the greatest safety concerns such as falls and collapses. It is due to the fact that tasks inserting a new mast in the space made after raising telescoping cage by fluid pressure and ascending it to the required height in the telescoping works include a series of dangerous factors in safety aspects, and might cause very serious and unexpected accidents in construction sites. The primary objective of this research is to propose two conceptual models for automating the telescoping work in horizontal tower crane and conduct their technical feasibility analyses. In this study, a design concept, a position control system using hydraulic cylinders is suggested as a better alternative for automating the telescoping work. Its potential safety improvement rate compared to the conventional method is also analyzed and presented in this study.

This paper aims to present solutions to three intriguing puzzles on causation that Benardete presents by considering the results of infinite series of telescoping events. The main conceptual tool used in the solutions is the notion of collective causation, what many events cause collectively. It is straightforward to apply the notion to resolve two of the three puzzles. It does not seem as straightforward to apply it to the other puzzle. After some preliminary clarifications of the situation that Benardete describes to present the puzzle, however, we can apply the notion to resolve it as well.
