In order to investigate remotely the behavior and distribution of fishes, the telesounder system which was composed of two parts with a buoy station at sea and a base station on land was manufactured trial. The buoy station at sea consists of fishfinder, transmission interface and transceiver. On the other hand, the base station on land consist of transceiver, receiving interface, trigger/signal separator and color display monitor. The system simulation for the performance of telesounder was carried out by use of echo simulator which could input echo signal into fishfinder. The received power (dBm) of transceiver at 29.4MHz decreased almost in proportion to distance between transmitter and receiver, and the electric field intensity was 12.12mV/m at 100 meters distance from transmitter. The image of color display monitor at the base station on land was very well coincident with the records of fishfinder from the buoy station located at sea. Therefore, it is concluded that the telesounder system is very useful in the analysis of the information on the behavior and the distribution of fishes detected from sea.

We compared two basic methods, combine-accumulate method and accumulate-combine method, using the past quality information in multivariate quality control procedure for monitoring mean vector of multivariate normal process. When small or moderate shifts have occurred, accumulate-combine method yields smaller average run length (ARL) and average time to signal (ATS) than combine-accumulate method. On the other hand, we have found from our numerical results that combine-accumulate method has better performances in terms of switching behavior than accumulate-combine method. In industry, a quality engineer could select one of the two method under the comprehensive consideration about the required time to signal, switching behavior, and other physical factors in the production process.

Recently, orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) was applied to VLC systems owing to its high rate capability. On the other hand, a real-valued unipolar OFDM signal for VLC significantly reduces bandwidth efficiency. For practical implementation, channel estimation is required for data demodulation, which causes a further decrease in spectral efficiency. In addition, the large fluctuation of an OFDM signal results in poor illumination quality, such as chromaticity changes. This paper proposes a spectrally efficient method based on a hidden-pilot-aided precoding technology for VLC with less flickering than a conventional OFDM-based method. This approach can obtain channel information without any loss of bandwidth efficiency while ensuring illumination quality by reducing the flickering effect of an OFDM-based VLC. The simulation results show that the proposed method provides a 6.4% gain in bandwidth efficiency with a 4% reduction in flicker compared to a conventional OFDM-based method.

This paper presents a hue preserving gamut mapping algorithm for color monitor and printer. The gamuts of monitor and printer are set by the profile of color reproduction media, specified by ICC(International Color Consortium) and provided by vendors, then those gamuts are represented on the CIE xy color space. In case that the color of monitor are located on out-of-gamut of printer, these are clipped on the point of gamut boundary of printer towards a reference white point. On the other hand, colors are in-gamut of printer are unchanged. An image generated by the algorithm keeps a ratio of each pixel of original image. Advantages of the algorithm are easy to implement and fast processing time than other algorithms which involve hue preserving especially in CIELAB color space.

For the design of human-centered systems in which a human and machine such as a robot form a human-in system, human-friendly interaction/interface is essential. Human-friendly interaction is possible when the system is capable of recognizing human biosigns such as5 EMG Signal, hand gesture and facial expressions so the some humanintention and/or emotion can be inferred and is used as a proper feedback signal. In the talk, we report our experiences of applying the Soft computing techniques including Fuzzy, ANN, GA and rho rough set theory for efficiently recognizing various biosigns and for effective inference. More specifically, we first observe characteristics of various forms of biosigns and propose a new way of extracting feature set for such signals. Then we show a standardized procedure of getting an inferred intention or emotion from the signals. Finally, we present examples of application for our model of rehabilitation robot named.

Ridge regression is compared with multiple linear regression (MLR) for determination of Research Octane Number (RON) when the baseline and signal-to-noise ratio are varied. MLR analysis of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic data usually encounters a collinearity problem, which adversely affects long-term prediction performance. The collinearity problem can be eliminated or greatly improved by using ridge regression, which is a biased estimation method. To evaluate the robustness of each calibration, the calibration models developed by both calibration methods were used to predict RONs of gasoline spectra in which the baseline and signal-to-noise ratio were varied. The prediction results of a ridge calibration model showed more stable prediction performance as compared to that of MLR, especially when the spectral baselines were varied. . In conclusion, ridge regression is shown to be a viable method for calibration of RON with the NIR data when only a few wavelengths are available such as hand-carry device using a few diodes.

The performance of the payload Electro-Optical System (EOS) in satellite system is affected by various factors, such as optics design, camera electronics design, and the characteristics of the CCD (Charge Coupled Device) used, etc. Of these factors, the camera electronics design is somewhat unique in that its operational parameters can be adjusted even after the satellite launch. In this paper, the effect of video gain on the non-uniformity correction performance is addressed. And a new optimal non-uniformity correction scheme is proposed and analyzed using the data from real camera electronics unit based on a TDI (Time Delayed Integration) type of CCD. The test results show that the performance of the conventional non-uniformity correction scheme is affected significantly when the video gain is added. On the other hand, in our proposed scheme, the performance is not dependent on the video gain. The insensitivity of the non-uniformity performance on the video-gain is mainly due to the fact that the correction is performed after the dark signal is subtracted from system response.

The two-component signal transduction, which typically consists of a histidine kinase and a response regulator, is used by bacterial cells to sense changes in their environment. Previously, the SphS-SphR histidine kinase and response regulator pair of phosphate sensing signal transduction has been identified in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. In addition, some response regulators in bacteria have been shown to be cross regulated by low molecular weight phosphorylated compounds in the absence of the cognate histidine kinase. The ability of an endogenous acetyl phosphate to phosphorylate the response regulator, SphR in the absence of the cognate histidine kinase, SphS was therefore tested in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The mutant lacking functional SphS and acetate kinase showed no detectable alkaline phosphatase activity under phosphate-limiting growth conditions. The results suggested that the endogenous acetyl phosphate accumulated inside the mutants could not activate the SphR via phosphorylation. On the other hand, exogenous acetyl phosphate could allow the mutant lacking functional acetate kinase and phosphotransacetylase to grow under phosphate-limiting conditions suggesting the role of acetyl phosphate as an energy source. Reverse transcription PCR demonstrated that the transcripts of acetate kinase and phospho-transacetylase genes in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is up-regulated in response to phosphate limitation suggesting the importance of these two enzymes for energy metabolism in Synechocystis cells

In this paper, we present a finger tip tactile sensor which can detect contact normal force as well as slip. The sensor is made up of two different materials, such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) known as piezoelectric polymer, and pressure variable resistor ink. In order to detect slip on the surface of the object, two PVDF strips are arranged along the normal direction in the robot finger tip and the thumb tip. The surface electrode of the PVDF strip is fabricated using silk-screening technique with silver paste. Also a thin flexible force sensor is fabricated in the form of a matrix using pressure variable resistor ink in order to sense the static force. The developed tactile sensor is physically flexible and it can be deformed three-dimensionally to any shape so that it can be placed on anywhere on the curved surface. In addition, a tactile sensing system is developed, which includes miniaturized charge amplifier to amplify the small signal from the sensor, and the fast signal processing unit. The sensor system is evaluated experimentally and its effectiveness is validated.

In this paper, we deal with an emotion recognition method using facial images and speech signal. Six basic human emotions including happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear and dislike are investigated. Emotion recognition using the facial expression is performed by using a multi-resolution analysis based on the discrete wavelet transform. And then, the feature vectors are extracted from the linear discriminant analysis method. On the other hand, the emotion recognition from speech signal method has a structure of performing the recognition algorithm independently for each wavelet subband and then the final recognition is obtained from a multi-decision making scheme.
