Designs of total elbow arthroplasty have been evolving with clinical experiences. Newer implants are expected to resolve current limitations and improve long term outcomes. This review article focuses on the basic knowledge of unlinked and convertible total elbow arthroplasty. There have been a variety of designs of unlinked total elbow prostheses. Some implants are still used in the market, while others are no longer commercially available. Modified and newer designs include more congruent contact surface, stemmed implant, and radiocapitellar arthroplasty. Two convertible elbow prostheses have been developed, and one implant is currently available in Korea. Conversion from an unlinked to a linked mode is performed by adding a linking cap. Unlinked total elbow arthroplasty, which restores native elbow kinematics, has a biomechanical rationale of lowering polyethylene wear and loosening of implants. It can be indicated in younger and higher demand patients, who have adequate bone stock and soft tissues. Convertible total elbow arthroplasty broadens implant selection and simplifies revision surgery. These newer prostheses possibly improve the long term outcomes and resolve disadvantages of linked prostheses in total elbow arthroplasty.

ATM 망 기술의 발전으로 BISDN 서비스를 공중망에서 제공하게 되면 LAN 의 충분한 보급으로 BISN 을 통한 LAN 간 연결은 첫번째 응용이 될 것이다. 본 고에서는 ATM 망과 LAN 사이에 연동할 IWU에서 고려해야 하는 문제점을 조사하고 이에 대한 해결 방안을 제시한다. 3 개의 연결형-비연결형 모델을 세워 비교 분석한 후 BISDN(Brodband Integrated Services Digital network)에서 비연결형 서비스 모델을 선정한다.이 모델은 BISDN에서 비연결형 서비스를 제공하는 것으로 Direct 방법과 Indirect 방법, AAL(ATM Adaptation Layer) 3/4와 AAL5 등을 비교 분석함으로써 OSI 에 따른 IWU 모델을 제안한다.

Total elbow arthroplasty is still in its infancy compared with other arthroplasties, such as knee or hip arthroplasties. Implant design has been evolving with clinical experiences; however, there are only limited data on the long-term clinical outcome of elbow arthroplasty in the literature. The design of total elbow prostheses can be divided into three categories: linked (constrained or semi-constrained), unlinked (unconstrained), and convertible types. The choice between an unlinked (unconstrained) implant and a linked (semi-constrained) implant depends on joint stability and adequacy of the bone stock. Linked elbow arthroplasty has provided high patient satisfaction, and pain relief thanks to proper patient selection, advancement of implant design, improvement in cement techniques, meticulous surgical technique, and appropriate postoperative rehabilitation. Concerns remain about the use of this implant in young or high-demand patients. This article focuses on the linked (semi-constrained) prostheses, which provides an overview of the current state of linked total elbow arthroplasty.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fracture strength of straight and angled zirconia abutments for internal hex and external hex implants. Materials and methods: Twenty internal hex implants and 20 external hex implants were prepared. The prefabricated straight zirconia abutments and 17-degree-angled zirconia abutments were connected to those 40 implants. The specimens were classified into 4 groups depending on the connection type and abutment angulation; internal hex implant/straight abutment, group INS; internal hex implant/angled abutment, group INA; external hex implant/straight abutment, group EXS; external hex implant/angled abutment, group EXA. All specimens were loaded at a 30-degree angle with a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min using universal testing machine. The fracture loads were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA and independent t-test (${\alpha}=.05$). Results: The mean fracture load for INS was 955.91 N, 933.65 N for INA, 1267.20 N for EXS, and 1405.93 N for EXA. External hex implant showed a significantly higher fracture load, as compared to internal hex implant (P < .001). No significant differences in fracture loads were observed between the straight and angled abutment in internal hex implants (P = .747) and external hex implants (P = .222). Internal hexes of abutments were fractured horizontally in internal connection implants, while lingual cervical neck portions were fractured in external connection implants. Conclusion: The zirconia abutments with external hex implants showed significantly higher fracture strength than those with internal hex implants. However there was no difference in fracture strength between the straight and 17-degree-angled zirconia abutment connected to both implant systems.

광대역 정보통신망(B-ISDN)에 적합한 직접 제공법의 스트리밍모드 비연결형 서버 는 단일 셀의 전송시간 동안 셀의 송·수신 및 룩업(lookup)을 수행해야 한다는 시간적인 제약을 받기 때문에 버스트 트래픽(Burst Traffic)이 발생했을 경우 셀 손실이 많다는 단점 을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 ATM 망의 스트리밍 모드 비연결형 서버가 고속으 로 데이터를 처리하여 셀 손실을 줄일 수 있도록 하기 위해 DBLCAM을 제안하였으며, 입 력 VPI(Virtual Path Identifier)/VCI(Virtual Channel Identifier)에 대한 연결 번호를 출력하 는 기능의 포워딩 테이블 VPC맵을 제안된 DBLCAM과 이중 포트 SRAM을 이용하여 설계 하였다.

A broadband access network in B- ISDN subscriber network, plays a role of concentration or multiplexing of various subscribers into a service node. To establish an end-to-end ATM connection, interworking functions between \'B5.2 interface's connection protocol and the signalling protocol, are perfonned at the service node. A sequential interworking model and a parallel interworking model were proposed for these interworking functions. The sequential interworking model proceeds the signalling protocol of network node after the response of VB5.2 interface protocol. On the other hand, the parallel interworking model proceeds the signalling protocol and the VB5.2 interface protocol simultaneously. In this paper, we analyze and simulate above two interworking models in tenns of a connection setup delay and completion ratio, when call requests with eBR and VBR transfer capability arrive at the service node. We observed that the completion ratios of the two interworking models are quite closed. However the connection setup delay of parallel interworking model is improved by about 33% compared with that of the sequential interworking model.

This is a preliminary study on the development of precast beam-column joints for dry construction methodology. Precast beam column joints with thru-connectors (BCJ_TC) using high strength bars or PS strands were developed and their seismic performance including strength degradation, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation capacity was experimentally evaluated. Test results showed that compressive failures at the end blocks of PC beam members occurred dominantly while PC columns including panel zones were free from any damage. However, the connections confined with CFRP at the end block showed much improved seismic performance than that of the unconfined connections. Connections with neoprene pad fillers between beam and column interfaces were better than the other connections in all the seismic performances except initial stiffness. To improve the seismic performances of BCJ_TC, compressive strength of the concrete at the end block need to be increased to compensate for the additional compressive stresses due to unbonded connectors and deformation of connectors should be controlled respectively.

네트워크로 구성된 시스템은 물질, 에너지, 신호 등의 입력(input)이 주어졌을 때, 경로 추적, 즉 라우팅(routing)을 통해 출력(output)으로 연결되고, 이를 반응함수로 나타낼 수 있다. 같은 입력값이라도 네트워크에 따른 연결 구조와 라우팅 과정에서 소요되는 시간차에 따라 출력값이 달라질 수 있다. 좋은 예로 강우에 따른 유출반응함수를 나타내는 자연 하천망을 들 수 있다. 이론적으로 순간의 입력이 주어졌을 때 (입력의 지속시간이 0), 출력은 순간반응함수로 표현된다. 자연 하천망에 대한 선행연구에서는 강우강도에 따라 순간반응함수가 변화한다는 비선형성이 알려졌다. 하지만, 비선형성을 가져오는 물리적 과정에 대해서는 많은 연구가 필요하다. 이 연구는 격자 형태로 주어진 임의의 네트워크에서 각 격자에 대해 순간반응함수를 구하는 분포형 모형을 제시한다. 입력자료와 라우팅 방법에 따른 연결 구조 및 순간반응함수의 변화를 격자 별로 확인하고, 이를 통해 시스템의 비선형성을 고려할 수 있는지 고찰하였다.

본 논문에서는 비선형구조물의 위상최적화를 위하여 개발된 요소 연결 매개법 (Element Connectivity Parameterization Method)을 이용하여 기하비선형 구조물의 고유진동수(Eigenfrequency)를 최적화하는 연구를 소개한다. 기존의 밀도를 기반으로 한 위상최적화기법은 비선형 구조물의 위상최적화를 수행할 때 약한 탄성계수를 가지는 요소가 대변형을 일으켜 전체 강성행렬(Tangent Stiffness Matrix)이 양정정성(Positive definiteness)를 잃어버리는 문제점이 있어서 위상최적화를 수행하기 어렵다. 이 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 최근에 요소 연결 매개법(Element Connectivity Parameterization Method)이 개발되었다. 이 요소 연결 매개법은 요소의 강성을 설계하는 것이 아니라 요소의 연결성을 설계하는 기법으로 이를 이용하여 비선형 구조물의 위상최적화를 효과적으로 수행할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 요소 연결 매개법을 동적인 문제에 적용하기 위한 연구를 수행하며 이를 이용하여 비선형 구조물의 고유진동수를 최적화 하는 위상최적화 문제에 적용하였다. 비선형 수치 예제를 통하여 기하 비선형 구조물의 고유진동수를 최대화를 통하여 기하 비선형 구조물의 강성최대화 문제와 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
