This study investigated the relationships between hypermedia users information processing styles and navigational patterns. Three aspects of navigational patterns were investigated: (a) navigational breadth patterns which reveal how comprehensively users access, (b) navigational path patterns which display what sequences users follow. and (c) navigational method patterns which show what methods u users employ when using the system. Information processing styles were measured by the Human Information Processing Styles(HIPS) Survey. The subjects were 102 undergraduate students enrolled in management courses at a university. Participation was voluntary 34 students were selected for each of left, right, and integrated information processor group. The subjects interacted with A.g.i.l.e. TrainerTM program to complete two types of searching tasks 'open-ended and closed-ended tasks' Findings indicated that the information processing style seems to play an important role in how an individual interacts with the hypermedia systems.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of visual block (eyes open or closed), mental task type, and participation in an exercise program on static balance in the elderly. The subjects were 34 elderly (>65 years old) residents of a social welfare institute in Gyeonggi-do. We measured the following variables. Berg balance scale, mini mental state examination, balance performance monitor (sway area, path, and maximal sway velocity), age, weight, height and whether the subject participated in an exercise program. Scores for the Berg balance scale and mini mental state examination were evaluated to assess static balance ability either alone (single task paradigm) or while performing a mental task (dual task paradigm). Static balance variables that were measured included sway area, path, and maximal sway velocity. Each test was repeated three times. Multiple regressions analysis was used to examine the effect of each variable on static balance ability. For the dual task paradigm, static balance was affected by whether the subject participated in an exercise program. The Berg balance scale score for subjects with their eyes open was affected by whether they participated in an exercise program, while this variable in addition to the height and weight of subjects were determining variables in subjects with their eyes closed. As a result, whether subjects participated in an exercise program affected their static balance irrespective of whether their eyes open or closed. Therefore, regular exercise is recommended for elderly people and further research is needed to examine the relationship between static and dynamic balance while performing mental tasks such as cognition and attention.

This paper proposes a situation awareness method based on data fusion and independent objects for autonomous driving in on-road environment. The proposed method, designed to achieve an accurate analysis of driving situations in on-road environment, executes preprocessing tasks that include coordinate transformations, data filtering, and data fusion and independent object based situation assessment to evaluate the collision risks of driving situations and calculate a desired velocity. The method was implemented in an open-source robot operating system called ROS and tested on a closed road with other vehicles. It performed successfully in several scenarios similar to a real road environment.

Dense local image descriptors like SIFT are fruitful for capturing salient information about image, shown to be successful in various image-related tasks when formed in bag-of-words representation (i.e., histograms). In this paper we consider to utilize these dense local descriptors in the object tracking problem. A notable aspect of our tracker is that instead of adopting a point estimate for the target model, we account for uncertainty in data noise and model incompleteness by maintaining a distribution over plausible candidate models within the Bayesian framework. The target model is also updated adaptively by the principled Bayesian posterior inference, which admits a closed form within our Dirichlet prior modeling. With empirical evaluations on some video datasets, the proposed method is shown to yield more accurate tracking than baseline histogram-based trackers with the same types of features, often being superior to the appearance-based (visual) trackers.

In this paper, we proposed the design and algorithm of force reflection joystick which control mobile robot as a rehabilitation assistance system. The disabled persons are poor at joystick control because of hand vibration and clumsiness in operating it. These problems bring tasks which concerned with operator's safety So there is required technique which prevent collision with wall or obstacles. One of these solution is force reflection joystick which disturb that robot is closed to the wall. To confirm this way, we experimented and simulated with force reflection joystick which attached torque controller.

Although the actual visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms provide highly accurate tracking and mapping, most algorithms are too heavy to run live on embedded devices. In addition, the maps they produce are often unsuitable for path planning. To mitigate these issues, we propose a completely closed-loop online dense RGB-D SLAM algorithm targeting autonomous indoor mobile robot navigation tasks. The proposed algorithm runs live on an NVIDIA Jetson board embedded on a two-wheel differential-drive robot. It exhibits lightweight three-dimensional mapping, room-scale consistency, accurate pose tracking, and robustness to moving objects. Further, we introduce a navigation strategy based on the proposed algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate the robustness of the proposed SLAM algorithm, its computational efficiency, and its benefits for on-the-fly navigation while mapping.

Market-oriented networks support various tasks in the market domain. We analyze trends in structural changes of such networks to adapt to preferences in general market movements. This analysis is different from conventional ones that focus on specific technologies. Instead, we focus on the paradigm shift of network technology from connectivity functionalities to platforms supporting business domains for direct modeling. Moreover, we analyze current development efforts of technologies based on popular and realistic solutions such as FIWARE, 5GinFIRE, IBN, IDN, and HNSP. Remarkably, we detail HNSP as an open research and development platform to experiment with business models and enable co-building with developers. We observe a clear paradigm shift of communications technology from a closed to an open job-shop style.
