Recently, traditional impression has been rapidly replaced by digital impression using intraoral scanning. There are more than 7 types of intraoral scanners available in the dental market. It is difficult to make effective strategic choices due to a lack of standards and guidelines for optimal intraoral scanning devices. So far, little has been reported about evaluating the ergonomic aspect of these scanners. This literature review compares current intraoral scanning systems based on different types of handles and suggests the most comfortable, user-friendly intraoral scanners from an ergonomic standpoint.

The purpose of this study is to define the concept of sustainability, to understand the traditional belief system, to comprehend user-focused healing environment, to understand the current status of Korean Hospitals, to analyze the selected case studies, and to point the way toward enhanced architectural solutions for healing environment in hospitals. The research results indicate that the design of healthcare facilities with healing effects depend on the considerations of 5 senses of patients. In other words, the sustainable design approach to create a healthy healing environment is very important, and architects must be aware of diverse sensory needs of the patients. In addition, the following factors affection healthcare facilities must be considered to create healing environment for users: - "Emphasis on sustainable Design" for harmony among nature, man, and building. - Creation of user Focused Healing Environment reflecting the suers' senses. - Search for New Hospital Forms through various design experiments to create the most suitable healing environment. - "Perception of Paradigm Shift" form a focus on sickness-oriented to wellness-oriented healthcare facility design. - "Awareness of Creating User-Friendly Environment" covering the entire age group form youth to elderly.

This paper expounds the development of a user-friendly expert system for the optimal stacking sequence design of composite laminates subjected to the various rules constraints. The expert system was realized in the graphic-based design environment. Therefore, users can access and use the system easily. The optimal stacking sequence is obtained by means of integration of a genetic algorithm, finite element analysis. These systems were integrated with the rules of design heuristics under an expert system shell. The optimal stacking sequence combination for the application of interest is drawn from the discrete ply angles and design rules stored in the knowledge base of the expert system. For the integration and management of softwares, a graphic-based design environment that provides multi-tasking and graphic user interface capability is built.

The study is a user experience design study on the function of action cams used for leisure activities that have been on the rise recently. Along with the video platforms that are developing in a user-friendly way, the size of the action cam market is also growing. However, there is a lack of research on the quality of a function that enhances the user experience. Thus, this study classified action cam functions according to user experience elements by using Kano Model's analysis method and in-depth interview, and analyzed how the quality of action cam functions affects the user experience by conducting a satisfaction survey by function. The results of the study have shown which functions should be improved first and which functions should be continuously researched and invested. I hope this study will contribute useful information to developing user-centered action cams.

A new style keyboard which is user friendly and can be used efficiently in a small area is proposed in this paper. The most pre-existing keyboards were using the style of selecting a key among the arranged keys even the formats of key arrangement and the ways of using them were different. A new style of information input device called Dynamic Keyboard(DynaKey) is designed in this paper. Dynakey is a useful information input device which can be used efficiently for a mobile device with small display and for handicapped persons who has difficulties of selecting precise positions.

Recently, due to the widely use of personal computers and internet, many computer users requested intelligent system that can cope with various types of requirements and user-friendly interfaces. Based on this background, researches on the intelligent agent are now activating in various fields. In this paper, we modeled, designed and implemented an intelligent agent system for pattern classification by adopting intelligent agent concepts. We also investigated the pattern classification method by utilizing some pattern classification algorithms for the common data. As a result, we identified that 300 3-dimensional data are applied to three pattern classification algorithms and returned correct results. Our system showed a distinguished user-friendly interface feature by adopting various agents including graphic agent.

The objective of this study is to develop the CAD system for 2 cell box culvert by ultimate strength design method. C-language & AutoCAD Rl2 were used to create user-friendly computing environment. Consequently, users can easily design 2 cell box culvert under the various conditions, such as design load, total fill depth, underground water level, strength of concrete, and so forth. This system is believed to improve the efficiency and economy by the batch processing of structural analysis, quick drafting and computation of material quantity in the 2 cell box culvert design.

This study focuses on the user centered interface design of an information retrieval system. Users do not tend to take advantage of powerful retrieval functions of an information retrieval system unless its interface is user friendly and easy to use. The actual interface design case of the ELSA information retrieval system is reviewed in terms of design concepts and its applicable concrete designs for constructing an user centered interface.

Recently the studies on user-centered design and form-development have become issues of general interest as the key methods for successful design. For form analysis on user it is important needs that an integrated approach of existing methods and development of expert tool for designer. Moreover analysis methods and tools have to meet with the designers needs of visual result, clear direction, concrete formative factor, user's emotional response and designer-friendly interface. This study proposed the main concepts of form analysis tool based on the user's emotional response ; integrated management, variables set-up, visual result of analysis, in-depth analysis with data mining and correlation, and reinforcement of user-centered analysis. Specific analysis tool consists of 5 functions: Project Management, Analysis Frame Set-up, Data Input-output, Basic Analysis, and In-depth Analysis. The feasibility of proposed tool was verified by a case study of mobile phone design in under-graduate class.
