With the launch of Artificial Intelligence(AI)-based intelligent products on the market, innovative changes are taking place not only in business but also in consumers' daily lives. Intelligent products have the potential to realize technology differentiation and increase market competitiveness through advanced functions of artificial intelligence. However, there is no new product development methodology that can sufficiently reflect the characteristics of artificial intelligence for the purpose of developing intelligent products with high market acceptance. This study proposes a KANO-QFD integrated model as a methodology for intelligent product development. As a specific example of the empirical analysis, the types of consumer requirements for hair loss prediction and treatment device were classified, and the relative importance and priority of engineering characteristics were derived to suggest the direction of intelligent medical product development. As a result of a survey of 130 consumers, accurate prediction of future hair loss progress, future hair loss and improved future after treatment realized and viewed on a smartphone, sophisticated design, and treatment using laser and LED combined light energy were realized as attractive quality factors among the KANO categories. As a result of the analysis based on House of Quality of QFD, learning data for hair loss diagnosis and prediction, micro camera resolution for scalp scan, hair loss type classification model, customized personal account management, and hair loss progress diagnosis model were derived. This study is significant in that it presented directions for the development of artificial intelligence-based intelligent medical product that were not previously preceded.

제지공장은 에너지 다소비 업종이며 고도의 장치산업이기 때문에 초지 설비의 효과적 운영을 통한 생산성 극대화가 경제성과 직결되어 었다. 또한 24시간 연속생산을 하는 초지 설비로 소비자가 선호하는 품질의 종이를 생산하기 위해서는 공정의 안정성 이 매우 중요하다. 이는 공정의 불안정화는 생산제품의 품질 변화를 유발함으로써 균일 성을 저하시키는 악영향을 미치기 때문이다. 제지 공정의 안정화를 저해하는 인자에는 지절, 지종 변화, 조업중단, 조업재개 둥과 공정의 특성상 수반되는 돌발사태 등이 있을 수 있다. 이들 인자 가운데 가장 심각하게 공정의 안정성을 악화시키는 것은 지절의 발 생이라 할 수 있다. 지절이 발생되면 생산성 저하 등의 여러 문제점이 발생하기도 하지 만 다량의 파지가 발생되기 때문에 공정 안정성 면에서 볼 때에도 부득이하게 생성된 다량의 파지를 공정에 재투입하기 위해 재해리해야하므로 많은 양의 백수가 소모되며 이에 따라 예기치 않은 공정 백수의 사용으로 전체 백수계에 갑작스런 변동이 생기게 된다. 백수가 파지의 해리에 사용됨에 따라 공정 내에는 추가적인 청수가 공급되어야 하므로 전체적으로는 청수의 사용량도 늘어난다. 또한 증가된 파지의 재사용도 대부분 의 공장에서 broke chest의 용량이 한정되어 있으므로 이의 적절한 컨트롤은 중요하다. 더욱이 점차 공정이 고폐쇄화됨에 따라 공정 컨트롤에 대한 여유가 적으므로 백수와 공정의 관리는 점차 어려워지고 있다. 공정 시율레이션은 현존하는 공정을 수학적으로 모델화하여 이를 컴퓨터 하드 왜어를 이용해 실제 공장에서 일어나는 상황을 모사하는 것이다. 이러한 공정 모사는 새로운 공장을 설계하기 전에 타당성 조사와 여러 가지 사례조사를 실시할 때, 기존 공 장의 개조나 증설 또는 기존 공장의 운전조건을 실제로 변경하기 전에도 미리 모사를 함으로써 실제 시험 운전을 하는 경우 보다 많은 비용과 시간을 절약할 수 있다. 본 연 구는 백상지 생산 공정 설계도면을 참고하여 상용 시율레이터로 시율레이션 모델을 구 축하고 이를 기반으로 지절 상황을 모사하였으며, 지절 후의 공정 불안정화 상황을 파 악하였다. 또한 이러한 상황의 대책을 강구하기 위해 다양한 공정 조절 방안을 시율레이션 모댈에 적용하여 그 결과를 해석하였다.

Smart Grid is the next-generation intelligent power grid that maximizes energy efficiency with the convergence of IT technologies and the existing power grid. It enables consumers to check power rates in real time for active power consumption. It also enables suppliers to measure their expected power generation load, which stabilizes the operation of the power system. However, there are high possibility that various kinds of security threats such as data exposure, data theft, and privacy invasion may occur in interactive communication with intelligent devices. Therefore, to establish a secure environment for responding to such security threat with the smart grid, the key management technique, which is the core of the development of a security mechanism, is required. Using a hash chain, this paper suggests a group key management mechanism that is efficiently applicable to the smart grid environment with its hierarchical structure, and analyzes the security and efficiency of the suggested group key management framework.

This study measured consumer's recognition, reliability, emotion and images about current eco-marks as well proposed an eco-mark rating scale and mark designs to improve consumer's trust on the fashion product marks. We used a questionnaire survey to collect data from 150 persons about knowledge, interests, and practice on eco fashion products in relation to trustfulness and positive images for three domestic and three international eco-marks. We evaluated and gave eco scores to six fiber-type products (cotton, organic cotton, wool, polyester, biodegradable polyester and nylon) in terms of consumer's use, water & land consumption, waste amount, carbon footprint, and toxicity. We suggested a new 5-level rating scale for eco marks, which quantified the concept of environmental friendliness of fiber products. The design for eco-mark of rating scale showed the total grade with two sub scores of environmental sides and human sides developed with an improved visual understanding for consumers. The design is one through benchmarking the energy-consumption efficiency mark, which is familiar to consumers such as a half circle shape to save environment resources to alarm consumers to environment problems.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the labeling of commercial protein bars in Korea and USA to develop Korean protein bars. Furthermore, we compared protein contents of products with daily protein intake, DRI, and AMDR. The protein bars were sampled in off- and on-line markets of both countries, with 17 in Korea and 113 in the US. As the results, since US products have bigger than one serving size than Korean ones, the intake of overall nutrients is higher, especially protein and sodium. Protein contents (per 100 g) of products in US were higher than those of Korea. The highest protein was soy protein isolate (SPI) in Korea and whey protein isolate (WPI) in the US. This is thought to be influenced by the preference and familiarity of food according to the country. In conclusion, since there are difference in eating habits, intake and preference of the protein source, it is necessary to develop suitable protein bars for Koreans. Therefore, this research provides the baseline of protein bars for consumers to choose products.

A smart grid networks delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using digital technology with two-way communications to control appliances at consumers' homes to save energy, reduce cost and increase reliability and transparency. Security is critically important for smart grid networks that are usually used for the electric power network and IT environments that are opened to attacks, such as, eavesdroping, replay attacks of abnormal messages, forgery of the messages to name a few. ZigBee has emerged as a strong contender for smart grid networks. ZigBee is used for low data rate and low power wireless network applications. To deploy smart grid networks, the collected information requires protection from an adversary over the network in many cases. The security mechanism should be provided for collecting the information over the network. However, the ZigBee protocol has some security weaknesses. In this paper, these weaknesses are discussed and a method to improve security aspect of the ZigBee protocol is presented along with a comparison of the message complexity of the proposed security protocol with that of the current ZigBee protocol.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of natural and synthetic commercial pigments on the growth performances, skin pigmentation and color difference of broiler chicks. Experimental diet was formulated to have isocalories and isonitrogen for experimental period, and xanthophyll concentration in the diet was 8.45g/1on. The experiment was conducted for six weeks with 450 broiler chicks. The birds were assigned to 10 treatment groups and each group had 15 chicks with three replications. Results showed that the types of pigments did not have any effect on body weight, feed intake and feed efficiency. The mortality was lower with higher pigment supplementation and greater in the natural pigment groups than in the synthetic ones. Dressed carcass, abdominal fat pad and gizzard weight were not significantly different among treatments. The pigmentation of shank skin was increased with high pigment supplementations, and the pigmentation effect was greater with synthetic pigments than in natural pigments. In the shank meat or skin, the color difference(L*, a*, b*, c* and h*) was not consistently related to pigmentation.
