Objectives : A dermal needle is one of the therapeutic method by stimulating or tapping on the certain points of skin. Recently, roller or stamp-needle have been applied to various diseases in combination with microneedle technology. In this study, we analyzed the trend of roller and stamp-needle in Korean patent. Methods : Electronic search for Korean patent of roller or stamp needle was performed in Korea Intellectual Property Right Information Service database to April, 2019. Results : Sixty seven patents (51, roller-needle; 15, stamp-needle; 1, both types of needle) met the inclusion criteria. According to patent details, 34 of 67 patents were skin stimulation, 14 patents were intended to increase the efficiency of drug delivery through skin stimulation, 16 patents combined skin stimulation with technologies such as electrode or high frequency, and three patents applied both electrode or high frequency stimulation, and drug application as well as physical skin stimulation. Each of these patents aims to increase the efficiency of the needle manufacturing process (n=24), to facilitate the use of tools or to increase the efficiency of the technology (n=61), or to increase the technical skill of the needle itself (n=23). Conclusions : This study confirms that technological advances were being made by combining various types of stimuli to dermal needle and there have been attempts to expand the scope of drug delivery in terms of application of dermal needle. In the future, more research and development is needed in order to apply the dermal needle to modern technology.

This study aims to analyze knowledge extension and diffusion trend among industries through technological convergence in non-Capital rural areas. A case of Sunchang, Korea examines knowledge extension trend of fermented soy product manufacturing industry. Patent application data are used to make technology convergence analysis and knowledge network analysis. Patent analysis results show that there are differences of knowledge extension trend between the whole country and Sunchang. Technologies of fermented soy product manufacturing in Sunchang is inclined to extend toward technologies related to fermented microorganism. Contrary to the whole country, knowledge extension in rural area like Sunchang is converged to technologies suitable for specialized but limited regional assets and human resources. Core actors of knowledge network of fermented soy product manufacturing in Sunchang are mainly public organizations such as local government, universities, and agencies or institutes. Recently technology sharing and extension is likely to occur through the cooperation between associative corporations and public organizations.

Produced water from oil production processes is mostly composed of oily wastewater. So, it is important to extract and remove the oil components from the produced water environmentally and in utilizing water resources. Produced water treatment is classified as physical, biological and chemical method. The technology trend of oil treatment for produced water was analyzed based on patent application years, countries, main applicants, and each technologies.

Application of the carbon nanotube is increasing continuously since 1991. In the studies of the carbon nanotube for the display, emitter has been actively developed, especially in FED. Other studies of carbon nanotube are the materials of LED and PDP for backlight and dielectrical matter because carbon nanotube is good electric conductor. This report presents about the carbon nanotube for the display.

Real-time information on the construction project required by the owner make the project's transparency and overall productivity will be improved. This study analyzes domestic and foreign patents for construction project management to identify trends in technology development, construct cloud-based construction project management system solution UI, and proposes functions and services for each module. Trend research is conducted through patent search, and the analysis is divided into quantitative analysis which means quantitative statistics and qualitative analysis which means the technical contents of each patent. The construction project management system solution is based on smart devices at small and medium-sized sites, allowing both the owner and the construction personnel to share information.

The patents were searched to investigate the trend of recycling technologies about plastic waste. Database was collected from WIPS site and the range of the search was limited to patents opened in U.S.A (US), European Union (EU), Japan (JP) and Korea (KR) to september 2009. In this paper, 4,795 patents were selected by investigation abstracts and the trend of the recycling technologies relating to waste plastic were investigated through the analyzing by the years, countries, companies. The patents were occupied 65% by Japan and the most of the patents were about chemical recycling. In the case of Korea, material recycling was major in the patents of waste plastic recycling.

Today, MMS (Mobile Mapping System) uses the strengths of individual sensor technologies on a variety of platforms to increase the efficiency of geospatial data collection. In this paper, we analyzed the market size and technology trend of mobile mapping market in Korea and abroad, and analyzed frequency, trend, and characteristics of MMS related patents. The results of the analysis are as follows: First, it is expected that the domestic and overseas mobile mapping market will continue to grow in the future, and MMS-related technologies and applications are rapidly developing. Active research and development investment is required to preoccupy future market through technology development and patent competition. Second, the frequency of filing domestic patents is highly correlated with the results of national R&D, and industrial patent applications are highly related to national projects. It is analyzed as the result of introduction of preemptive technologies and research and development of companies for preemption in related industry rather than market development. Lastly, in Korean geospatial information industry survey, It is necessary to maintain the data so that it can be compared with the data of foreign institutions. In particular, statistical data that can grasp the market size in terms of geospatial information utilization and technical aspects are desperately needed.

Patent text is a rich source for discovering technological trends. In order to automate such a discovery process, we attempt to identify phrases corresponding to the problem and its solution method which together form a technology. Problem and solution phrases are identified by a SVM classifier using features based on a combination of a language modeling approach and linguistic clues. Based on the occurrence statistics of the phrases, we identify the time span of each problem and solution and finally generate a trend. Based on our experiment, we show that the proposed semantic phrase identification method is promising with its accuracy being 77% in R-precision. We also show that the unsupervised method for discovering technological trends is meaningful.
