Mechanical circulatory support using rotary ventricular assist devices (VADs) is one of the strongest therapy for heart disease patients. However, technical difficulties such as high mechanical durability, sufficient blood compatibility and small device size prevents VADs development for pediatric heart disease. In this study, an ultra-compact self-bearing motor whose diameter of 22 mm and height...
This paper proposes a method that classifies bloggers according to their interests. The method calculates three kinds of similarities. That is, the method calculates similarities between target objects discussed in the blogs by using social annotations. Here, products, works, and services are examples of the target objects. Next, the method calculates similarities between impressions related to the...
This paper proposes a method that deals with missing values in the discovery of association rules. The method deals with items composed of attributes and attribute values. The method calculates two kinds of support. One is characteristic support and the other is possible support. The former is based on the number of examples that do not include missing values in attributes composing target items....
This paper proposes a method that acquires a more appropriate classification model for label extraction. The model can extract specific labels from articles included in bulletin board sites. The labels represent the contents of the articles and are used to characterize the articles. The method selects two kinds of important examples not including a specific label by using expressions related to the...
In this paper, we proposes a new approach called green behavior generation (GBG), which is designed to reduce the environmental burden without mental stress in daily life. A GBG system consists of sensing, modeling, and service elements. For sensing various kinds of data, a sensor home is constructed. The network system of the sensor home is based on advanced information and communication technology...
This paper proposes the sequential interestingness as a new evaluation criterion that evaluates a sequential pattern corresponding to the interests of analysts. The sequential pattern is composed of rows of item sets. The criterion satisfies the apriori property. Also, this paper proposes three attribute constraints. These constraints can naturally evaluate relationships of attributes both in an item...
A serious shortage of IE specialists and the high cost of IE implementations are spurring demand for automated IE systems. The conventional automatic method, using knowledge concerning the worker's role and the factory layout, recognizes the "basic operations" which are observed by IE specialists in traditional IE. However, the method, in many cases, requires the IE specialists to discover...
