Presentation skill is essential both for academic and business purposes, but its training, particularly in Asian countries, still heavily depends on experiences. This paper reconsiders presentation skill and discusses system requirements of a presentation learning support system, which is based on our prototypical multimedia learner corpus of basic presentation. Then we developed a prototype of comprehensive...
A case study is presented for hierarchical agent monitoring design approach, which provides a high level abstraction for designing monitoring functions on massively parallel and distributed systems. The case study features hierarchical power monitoring on NoC platforms, where each level of agents perform specific monitoring operations based on their granularity. The monitoring hierarchy and operations...
We propose a non-invasive ultrasound theragnostic system that tracks movement in an affected area (kidney stones, in the present study) by irradiating the area with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). In the present paper, the concept behind a novel medical support system that integrates therapy and diagnostics (theragnostics) is illustrated. The required functions for the proposed system are...
Liquid crystal display technology requires the spectral power distribution measurement of the displayed RGB colors. Such measurement tasks are typically resolved by means of spectrophotometers and the measured data is used in several applications. The costs of color management methods have been decreasing recently mainly because of the reduced costs of spectrophotometric equipment. However the hardware...
In this paper, a wireless telemetry using the near-field coupling technique with round-wire coils for an implanted pacemaker is presented. The proposed system possesses an external powering amplifier and an internal bidirectional microstimulator. Even with a low induced voltage, all the circuitries associated with the implantable stimulator are operated normally by the coupling power interface, which...
Today's Multi-Processor System-on-Chips incorporate advanced communication mechanisms, called Network-on-Chip, to interconnect multiple resources such as processors, memories and accelerators. The detailed evaluation of these communication networks calls for low-level tools that allow detailed performance analysis at the level of the network instead of the analysis at the Processing Elements. We present...
This paper presents interaction between a user and a smart electric wheelchair. We proposed a personal mobility tool (PMT) which integrates mobile robot navigation with intuitive and non-continuous input from a user. An input interface to enable a user to specify a direction in which he/she wants to go is proposed. Also, to help a user interpret robot behaviors, an output interface to realize informative...
We have demonstrated a polarization sensitive cartilage and muscle imaging based on common path optical coherence tomography (CP-OCT) using near infrared source. The axial and lateral resolutions of our PS-OCT system are 9μm and 6μm, respectively. The internal structural information has been extracted by the real-time signal analysis (Fourier Transform) from the modulated spectral intensity depending...
Japan is facing two problems of aging population and declining birth rate, which lead to a scenario that the elderly are at home alone and no one takes care of them most of time. Therefore, there is need of developing the elderly care supporting systems. This paper presents a system for supporting the elderly at home in medicine management, medicine taking monitoring, and medicine taking assistance...
As researchers push for Exascale computing, one of the emerging challenges is system resilience. Unlike fault-tolerance which corrects errors, recent reports suggest that resilient systems will need to continue to make progress on an application despite faults. A first step in developing a resilient system is to have robust, scalable system monitoring. The work described here presents a novel, minimally-invasive...
Due to home accidents occurring within the world's aging population, especially with the accidental stumble and falling of the elderly, mortality and morbidity from falls have become one of the major issues in the health care system. In most developed countries, most frequent stumbles and falls occur in and around the community or at home. A number of wearable devices integrated with accelerometers...
In order to overcome lacking of effective monitoring way of guaranteeing the safety of ocean ships and cargo transportation for large ocean shipping companies, and to enhance the on-line monitoring level, key technologies of polymorphous and heterogeneous data collection for ocean ships is studied deeply in this paper, after the analysis of key issues and technical problems, corresponding solution...
Due to the characteristics of cold chain logistics, this paper proposes a model of a multi-level-instrumented physical monitoring platform based on ZigBee and RFID technologies and Grid computing management system. Information about food products and their environments can be gathered and processed throughout the logistic chain in real time, thus the system model can facilitate more accurate monitoring...
The 1000 kV alternating current(AC) power transmission project from Southeast Shanxi via Nanyang to Jingmen is the first ultra high voltag(UHV)project in China,and is the first long-running UHV with rated voltage in the world.In order to achieve the icing on-line monitoring on this 1000 kV UHV transmission lines, this paper summarized the current situation and drawbacks of the icing on-line monitoring...
With the development of industrialization and informatization, modern society is highly dependent on energy. Electric power system is fundamental for social production and daily life. Especially in urban areas, electric power network has been a key infrastructure of the lifeline, and its failure will probably paralyze the whole city. On the other hand, as population growth and urbanization, the demand...
This works mainly introduces the main equipments and control system of bar cooling bed, the implementation, the key control of the system and the common solution to the problem. The system includes PLC, DC drives, AC variable frequency speed control, hydraulic systems, the two-level network: basic automatic level (Genius Bus) and the upper monitor (EtherNet).
Monitoring sections were set up to track and monitor whole course for the lining wall cracks, slope sliding, tunnel deformation, twisted steel and other serious diseases in Sanggongjing-tunnel. Based on the analysis of monitoring data, the method of dynamic-feedback-design and information construction was developed to adjust and modify the design and construction program timely, and the means of back-analysis...
Monitor and analysis of power system is very important to guarantee power quality. Accidents often occur because of bad power supply quality. So power department and user of electric power all want to improve power quality. Monitor and analysis System of power quality is widely used. The paper monitored fluctuated condition of power quality index by means of method of frequency spectrum analysis based...
The inhalable particulate matter (PM10) samples in environmental air was collected in 2008 during heating period and non-heating period at four sampling sites in the urban of Lucheng ciy. Applying 'nested chemical mass balance' and related environmental air particulate data in Lucheng city, the author successfully analyzed the contributions and ratios of individual sources to urban raised dust, the...
Syslog play an increasingly important role as a technological means of security audit in the monitoring equipment and resources. From the actual needs,the project design and realize audit logging . Compare the differences between RFC5424 and RFC3164, and achieve the syslog protocol with rsyslog. The project use PHP programming to implement user management interface and support to query log with Combination...
