Horizontal bone defect in the anterior maxilla makes it difficult to place dental implant. The golden standard for bone augmentation is autogenous block bone graft. Tight contact with recipient site and rigid fixation are two key factors for successful block bone graft. Ramal bone graft has been the most reliable methods for dental implant field. However, the curvature of the alveolar ridge is different from ramal bone shape. Intraoperative trimming of ramal bone is cumbersome for surgeon. In this technical note, a simple way to design the ramal bone harvest using bone wax stent is reviewed.

This paper is concerned with the design of the beam forming module that is a key unit of the active phased array antenna(APAA) system for mobile satellite communications. This module includes two blocks for main signal and tracking signal. Main signal block has the role of transmitting input signal from phased away antenna to tracking signal block. And, tracking signal block executes main roles, beam forming of tracking signal and electronic beam control. The several electrical performances of this module, phase characteristics and linear gain, etc., agreed with specifications needed for APAA, and for more clear verification of the performances, the satellite communication test of the APAA including the modules was accomplished in the outdoors.

In this paper, we propose a new post-processing technique that removes blocking and ringing artifacts in Block discrete cosine transformation (BDCT)-coded images using bilateral filtering. The selection of filter parameters is a key issue in the application of a bilateral filter because it significantly affects the result. An efficient method of selecting the bilateral filter parameters is presented. The experimental results show that the proposed approach alleviates the artifacts efficiently in terms of PSNR, MSDS, and SSIM.

Piccolo-128 is a 64-bit ultra-light block cipher suitable for the constrained environments such as wireless sensor network environments. In this paper, we propose biclique cryptanalysis on the full Piccolo-128. To recover the secret key of Piccolo-128, the proposed attack requires $2^{24}$ chosen plaintexts and the computational complexity of about $2^{127.35}$. This result is the first known theoretical attack result on the full Piccolo-128.

LED-64 is a 64-bit block cipher proposed in CHES 2011 and suitable for the efficient implementation in constrained hardware environments such as WSN. In this paper, we propose a differential fault analysis on LED-64. In order to recover the secret key of LED-64, this attack requires only one random nibble fault and an exhaustive search of $2^8$. This work is the first known cryptanalytic result on LED-64.

Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) is the core technology for improving the channel capacity compared to Single-User MIMO (SU-MIMO) by using multiuser gain and spatial diversity. Key problem for the MU-MIMO is the user selection which is the grouping the users optimally. To solve this problem, we adopt Extreme Value Theory (EVT) at the beginning of the proposed algorithm, which defines a primary user set instead of a single user that has maximum channel power according to a predetermined threshold. Each user in the primary set is then paired with all of the users in the system to define user groups. By comparing these user groups, the group that produces a maximum sum rate can be determined. Through computer simulations, we have found that the proposed method outperforms the conventional technique yielding a sum rate that is 0.81 bps/Hz higher when the transmit signal to noise ratio (SNR) is 30 dB and the total number of users is 100.

Energy consumption is a key issue in body sensor networks (BSNs) since energy-constrained sensors monitor the vital signs of human beings in healthcare applications. In this paper, packet size optimization for BSNs has been analyzed to improve the efficiency of energy consumption. Existing studies on packet size optimization in wireless sensor networks cannot be applied to BSNs because the different operational characteristics of nodes and the channel effects of in-body and on-body propagation cannot be captured. In this paper, automatic repeat request (ARQ), forward error correction (FEC) block codes, and FEC convolutional codes have been analyzed regarding their energy efficiency. The hop-length extension technique has been applied to improve this metric with FEC block codes. The theoretical analysis and the numerical evaluations reveal that exploiting FEC schemes improves the energy efficiency, increases the optimal payload packet size, and extends the hop length for all scenarios for in-body and on-body propagation.

In this paper, we present a digital authentication technique using content-based watermarking in digital images. To digest the image contents, Hopfield network is employed on the block-based edge image. The Hopfield function extracts the same tit fur similarly looking blocks so that the values are unlikely to change to the innocuous manipulations while being changed far malicious manipulations. By inputting the extracted bit sequence with secret key to the cryptographic hash function, we generate a watermark for each block by seeding a pseudo random number generator with a hash output Therefore, the proposed authentication technique can distinguish between malicious attacks and innocuous attacks. Watermark embedding is based on the block-based spread spectrum method in DCT domain and the strength of watermark is adjusted according to the local statistics of DCT coefficients in a zig-zag scan line in AC subband. The numerical experiments show that the proposed technique is very efficient in the performance of robust authentication.

Block compressed sensing (BCS) is widely used in image sampling and is an efficient, effective technique. Through the use of BCS, an image can be simultaneously compressed and encrypted. In this paper, a novel reversible data hiding (RDH) method is proposed to embed additional data into BCS images. The proposed method is the first RDH method of its kind for BCS images. Results demonstrate that our approach performs better compared with other state-of-the-art RDH methods on encrypted images.

We propose a novel optical encryption scheme for cipher-feedback-block (CFB) mode, capable of encrypting two-dimensional (2D) page data with the use of two-step phase-shifting digital interferometry utilizing orthogonal polarization, in which the CFB algorithm is modified into an optical method to enhance security. The encryption is performed in the Fourier domain to record interferograms on charge-coupled devices (CCD)s with 256 quantized gray levels. A page of plaintext is encrypted into digital interferograms of ciphertexts, which are transmitted over a digital information network and then can be decrypted by digital computation according to the given CFB algorithm. The encryption key used in the decryption procedure and the plaintext are reconstructed by dual phase-shifting interferometry, providing high security in the cryptosystem. Also, each plaintext is sequentially encrypted using different encryption keys. The random-phase mask attached to the plaintext provides resistance against possible attacks. The feasibility and reliability of the proposed CFB method are verified and analyzed with numerical simulations.
