We investigated the prevalence of extended spectrum ${\beta}$-lactamase (ESBL) genes and 16S rRNA methyltransferase genes to study antimicrobial resistance mechanisms of Enterobacter cloacae strains isolated from a university hospital in the Chungcheong province of Korea. Eight of the bacteria strains involved in this study contained CTX-M-15 type ESBL. Among 8 strains harboring the ESBL gene, 3 strains also harbored armA gene. The three isolates showed resistance to antimicrobial agents belonged to third cephalosporin, aminoglycoside, and fluoroquinolones. Furthermore, interspecies plasmid transfer of the antimicrobial resistant genes may induced horizontal spreading of the genes and emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria. Therefore, surveillance for existence of antimicrobial resistance determinants is important to prevent distribution of antimicrobial resistant strains.

This paper presents a method of virtual robot arm control by EMG pattern recognition using the proposed hybrid system. The proposed hybrid system is composed of the LVQ and the SOFM, and the SOFM is used for the preprocessing of the LVQ. The SOFM converts the high dimensional EMG signals to 2-dimensional data. The EMG measurement system uses three surface electrodes to acquire the EMG signal from operator. Six hand gestures can be classified sufficiently by the proposed hybrid system. Experimental results are presented that show the effectiveness of the virtual robot arm control by the proposed hybrid system based classifier for the recognition of hand gestures from EMG signal patterns.

Arm-type implements of tractor are mainly utilized for the slope land operation. The proposed hydraulic system was implemented to arm-type implements of tractor. An experiment was conducted to evaluate response characteristics of the designed arm-type implement control system attached by three-point hitch of tractor at various conditions, such as engine speed, pumping rate and cylinder input flow. Effects of the valve response time didn't affect engine speed. The flow rate of pump and cylinder changed to the pressure loss. Also, the pressure loss was within 2 MPa and the response characteristic was sufficient enough to use as the arm-type implement system.

In this paper, we propose the design of an optimized fuzzy cascade controller for rotary inverted pendulum system by means of Hierarchical Fair Competition-based Genetic Algorithms (HFCGA) which is a kind of parallel genetic algorithms. The rotary inverted pendulum system is the system for controlling the inclination of pendulum axis through the adjustment of rotating arm. The control objective of the system is to control the position of rotating arm and to make the pendulum maintain the unstable equilibrium point of vertical position. To control rotary inverted pendulum system, we designs the fuzzy cascade controller scheme consisted of two fuzzy controllers and optimizes the parameters of the designed controller by means of HFCGA. A comparative analysis between the simulation and the practical experiment demonstrates that the proposed HFCGA based fuzzy cascade controller leads to superb performance in comparison with the conventional LQR controller as well as HFCGA based PD cascade controller.

In this paper, we investigate the ability of the ARM processor to implement an industrial controller with or without embedded operating system. Discrete-time PID controllers are implemented and tested under various settings e.g. cache on/off, different clock frequencies using S3C2410X chip. A method of real-time application of discrete-time PID controller in WinCE environment is proposed. Based on the test result, we provide the maximum sampling frequencies of PID controller using ARM processor.

C programming is a main programming for the Educational Robot Arm which is based on AVR ATmega128. The development environment is not integrated, so it is complex and difficult to study for middle or high school students who want to learn programming and control the educational robot arm. Furthermore, there is no debug and testing environment support. This paper presents a Java-based development platform for the educational robot arm. This platform includes: an up-to-date tiny Java Virtual Machine (NanoVM) for the educational robot arm; An Eclipse based Java integrated development environment as an Eclipse plug-in; a 3D simulator on the PCs to support testing and debugging programs without real robots. The Java programming environment makes development for educational robot arm easier for students.

In this study a moving platform for a mobile robot that can be traveling with a full automatic standing arm was developed. Conventional mobile robots generally may equip 4 wheels or 3 wheels with a caster wheel or independent driven wheels and have good statistic stability. When a mobile robot travels on a sharply perpendicular and narrow crossroad, it may need a special steering scheme such as going forward and backward repeatedly or it is sometimes physically impossible for the robot to go through the crossroad because of the size limit. The upright running mobile robot changes its posture to the upright posture which has a small planar area and is able to go through the crossroad. The upright control which was manually performed step by step before such as sequences of uprighting (returning), checking, and balancing, is now automated.

Robots that can actually help people a lot by dealing with dangerous tasks that are difficult for people to do, such as disaster situations, lifesaving, handling dangerous goods, and reconnaissance of dangerous areas, continue to become an issue. Therefore, in this paper, we intend to implement a mobile robot arm that can implement a human motion will on the robot arm to enable active response according to the situation and control the vehicle according to hand movements to give mobility. A controller is manufactured using a flex sensor and agyro sensor, and the roll and pitch values of the two gyro sensors are adjusted to control the angle of the robot arm and specify the vehicle direction. In addition, by designating the levels of the three flex sensors, the motor is operated according to hand movements, and a robot arm is implemented so that objects can be picked up and moved.

This study aims to validate the effectiveness of CAVE system with an Arm-Master in the evaluation of virtual prototypes. A virtual kitchen with a refrigerator was presented in the CAVE system. Subjects put in and pull out virtual objects by using the Arm-Master. Twelve subjects, six males and six females, participated in the six experimental conditions : three types of refrigerator door grips and two reaction forces. After each trial, subjects evaluated a door grip of the virtual refrigerator in terms of easiness of operation, similarity in force, presence etc. The results show the mean values of vortical-type door grips are greater than the horizontal pocket-type door grip. Also the subjects preferred 5N in the reaction force of the Arm-Master rather than 15 N when they open and close virtual door. Unexpectedly, female subjects significantly marked low scores in the evaluation terms compared ruth mali subjects. It explains the Arm-Master should be modified much more if it works effectively in design evaluation.
