  • Since the proportion of elderly citizens is increasing every year, the social interest is increasing for the health and the safety of the elderly. The nursing home is continually being created to care for more elderly people. However, the quality of service is not enough due to the lack of elderly caregivers. Elderly care and management services are being studied to replace the shortage of caregivers. Existing research for the implementation of an automatic care system has a high initial system cost. Furthermore, it lacks the ability to store and manage large amounts of data. In this paper, we propose a system that manages a large amount of data continuously generated through CCTV and provides a streaming service with a high level of quality-of-service (QoS) to users with collected video. Through the proposed system, it is possible to record and manage the behavioral information of the elderly occurring in the nursing home together with the video. In addition, according to the user's request, it has built a service that streams the video and behavioral information according to the date and time in real-time.

  • In this paper, Ubiquitous Home Mess-Cleanup Robot(UHMR), which has a practical function of the automatic mess-cleanup, is developed. The vacuum-cleaner had made the burden of house chore lighten but the operation labour of a vacuum-cleaner had been so severe. Recently, the cleaning robot was producted to perfectly solve the cleaning labour of a house but it also was not successful because it still had a problem of mess-cleaning, which was the clean-up of big trash and the arrangement of newspapers, clothes, etc. The cleaning robot is to just vacuum dust and small trash but has no function to arrange and take away before the automatic vacuum-cleaning. For this reason, the market for the cleaning robot is not yet built up. So, we need a design method and technological algorithm of new automatic machine to solve the problem of mess-cleanup in house. It needs functions of agile automatic navigation, novel manipulation system for mess-cleanup. The automatic navigation system has to be controlled for the full scanning of living room, to recognize the absolute position and orientation of tile self, the precise tracking of the desired path, and to distinguish the mess object to clean-up from obstacle object to just avoid. The manipulate,, which is not needed in the vacuum-cleaning robot, must have the functions, how to distinguish big trash to clean from mess objects to arrange, how to grasp in according to the form of mess objects, how to move to the destination in according to mess objects and arrange them. We use the RFID system to solve the problems in this paper and propose the reading algorithm of RFID tags installed in indoor objects and environments. Then, it should be an intelligent system so that the mess cleaning task can be autonomously performed in a wide variety of situations and environments. It needs to also has the entertainment functions for the good communication between the human and UHMR. Finally, the good performance of the designed UHMR is confirmed through the results of the mess clean-up and arrangement.

  • Most of the Korean diaspora who lived in Yunhaeju moved to Central Asia in 1937 following the policy of deportation of Russia. Uzbekistan is the representative place for Korean diaspora to have settled down in Central Asia at that time and mort Korean diaspora in Central Asia are living in Uzbekistan now. Korean diaspora have maintained a traditional way of living for 140 years without a deep relationship with Korea. This study examined the dwellings of the Korean diaspora of Uzbekistan in Central Asia by visiting their houses and conducting interviews. Results of the research were as following: 1) The houses of the Korean diaspora in Uzbekistan in early times consisted of 2-3 bedrooms with Gudle. Gudle is the most traditional element of the Korean diaspora's house and it has been used as a place for gathering family members. 2) Korean diaspora's houses in Uzbekistan were built according to Russian and Uzbek style but most of the Korean diaspora's have a mixed style with traditional Korean elements of living.3) The changing process of planning and building codes of apartments in Uzbekistan is similar to that in other CIS nations and all of Russia. 4) Korean's food style is a mixture of Korean, Russian and Central Asian foods. Kimchi and Jang (bean paste) are essential for most Koreans and most Koreans are making these at home. 5) Most Koreans have maintained a good relationship with the Uzbek people and Koreans are very active in gelling along well with all. This enables them to exchange their culture eventually in various parts. This study could be the first step to supply basic information for the study of the Korean diaspora in Uzbekistan. Deeper research over a wider range is needed in Russia.

  • Recent, the number of consumers using home shopping are in increase. So, there have been a lot of effort to provide services that meet the consumer's eye level in each store. In particular, apparel stores have been conducted the research for virtual fitting room based on augmented reality technology that consumers can simulate in real time costumes that meet the tastes of consumers in online and offline market. In addition, some services has already progress. The general virtual fitting room simulator built the user interface based on OpenCV, augmented reality API, Kinect, and so on. But, it has the disadvantage that the equipment is expensive. In this paper, we have developed a 3D virtual fitting room simulator based on augmented reality technology using OpenCV and libsigc$^{++}$. This simulator can simulate easily in general home without any special equipment. This simulator is expected to be available very efficient in online and offline market as well as home shopping.

  • $^1H-^{15}N$ heteronuclear dipolar coupling solid-state NMR experiments on lipid bilayer or bicelle samples are very useful for the structural studies of membrane proteins. However, to study these biological samples using solid-state NMR, a specific probe with high efficiency and high capability is required. In this paper, we describe the optimized design, construction, and efficiency of a 400 MHz wide-bore $^1H-^{15}N$ solid-state NMR probe with 5-mm solenoidal rf coil for high power, multi-pulse sequence experiments, such as 2D PISEMA or 2D SAMMY.

  • A syudy on hospital architecture was as a circulation effective work as most amount and function at the view of nurse, staff until now. The architect do not have a data about planning patient-centered hospital, do not reflect a demand of patient at the planning step. This study arrange what is concept of patient-centered, recently concept of patient-centered hospital is importantly raised, at centering around a ward that a life of patient is the most influenced. This study make clear character of patient-centered hospital at home, the problem and demand of patient through the P.O.E.

  • In this paper, the result of a performance study on a home-built spinning disk type confocal microscope is presented. The confocal microscope was fabricated with a Nipkow disk made of the made of the microfilm. The throughput of the disk was 0.5%, allowing the observation of specimen with higher reflectivities only. A laser diode at 692.7nm was used as the light source. The topographic structures of a PC ROM and the CD ROM were observed with sufficient reliability, while the effect of the convolution of the beam size with the finite object size was found dominant. Also the shadowing effect by the etched pattern was observed.

  • An on-line refractometer made of easily obtainable materials is built to determine the concentration of an alcohol solution, and its performance is examined by applying to the system of ethanol and water. Since the refractive index and the temperature are measured simultaneously, it is possible to compensate the effect of temperature which is not available with an existing on-line refeactometer. Therefore, it can be implemented in the application of process control. The experimental outcome indicates that the home-made refractometer has satisfactory reproducibility and reasonable accuracy for the industrial application.
