  • There is some equipment that helps user to exercise and to walk. But almost all equipments require some physical strength of their muscles. So we developed a system that could assist walking action of the people with lower-limb disability. The system called as walking stand adopted the balancing mechanism which assures the stable walking, and the 4 link-based mechanism that had 2 degrees of freedom on each leg. The walking stand uses four motors and has two sets of the special link-structure to simulate the human walking mechanism. With our system, even serious disabled with lower-limb disability may enjoy walking rehabilitation. And by adjusting the power, it can be used as the walking assistant mechanism instead of conventional wheelchairs. Experiments showed that our walking stand is applicable to the rehabilitation and also to the mobile device in our daily life for those people who do not have enough physical ability to walk by themselves.

  • In this paper we propose a system to forecast the dangerous behavior of the dementia patients. Basic idea of our approach is to measure the body movements of the dementia patients using the acceleration sensor. Based on the data measured, warning the care-givers about possible dangerous actions like falling down from the bed and slipping down onto the floor to some extent. The signals measured by the acceleration sensor are processed by a one-chip computer. Based on the diagnosis of the one-chip computer , alert signal is generated to the care-giver by a wire-less signal. The sensor is implemented in a compact body . Applicability of the system is now being examined at a nursing home.

  • This paper is concerned with a two-degree-offreedom control system design for a flexible arm, a two-degree-of-frecdom control system can achieve a robust stability specification and a control performance specification independently. By this property we improve the control performance with maintaining the same robust stability level as that of the onc-dcgree-of-freedom control system. At First we design a two-degree-of-fteedom control system which includes a feedforward controller and a feedback controller. The feedforward controller can be given by specifying a transfer function of a dcsired closed-loop model. We obtain a feedback controller by solving a mixed sensitivity problem. Several numerical results show that two-degree-of-freedom control systems acheive a better control performance than that of one-degree-of-freedom control systems.

  • To reconstruct the real 3-D shape from the 3-D measurement data from the multiple directions, the rconstruction of the object on the basis of the mosaic processing of the 3-D measurement data are proposed. In this method, to conduct the reconstruction, the connection points have to be identified among the over-lap area between adjacent 3-D data. In this study, the simple image matching method is adopted for the identification of connection points, and this method is verified from numerical experiments.

  • In this study, phytochemical investigation on the aerial parts of Bupleurum falcatum resulted in the isolation of fourteen compounds including three quinic acid derivatives (1 - 3), five flavonoids (4 - 8), three monoterpene glycosides (9 - 11), and three saikosaponins (12 - 14). Compound 1 was first isolated from nature and unambiguously determined to be 3-O-feruloyl 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid on the basis of the extensive spectroscopic evidence. Biological testing revealed that saikosaponin A (12) and saikosaponin D (13) showed moderate antiproliferative effects on HL-60 and HepG2 cancer cell lines.

  • Presently, heat island phenomenon, leading towards global warming, is one of the major environmental problems. As a solution of this problem, roof and surface wall planting is considered to be effective. Accordingly, the objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of roof planting in reducing the heat island phenomenon. The results of the study show that, planted area of the observed house roof had lower average temperature, in between $l5-20^{\circ}C,$ in comparison with that of the unplanted area of the roof.

  • To establish the sea surface temperature estimation scheme for the upcoming advanced remote sensor, the quasi-analytical solution of the approximated radiative transfer equation which express the radiative transfer process of the radiant energy radiated from the sea surface to the satellite is approximated into the non-linear equation. To solve the simultaneous approximated radiative transfer equation which express the radiative transfer process of the radiant energy radiated from the sea surface to the satellite is approximated into the nonlinear equation. To solve the simultaneous approximated radiative transfer equation at each channel, the constrained non-linear optimization technique is adopted. To define the coefficients of the approximated radiative transfer equation and the constraints, the satellite detected radiance and the total transmittance are computed from the 1350 kinds of simulated atmosphere / surface models via radiative transfer code. The verification from the simulated data show the sufficient result.

  • This paper presents a novel predictive digital control method for boundary conduction mode PFC converters without the need for detecting the inductor current. In the proposed method, the inductor current is predicted by analytical equations instead of being detected by a sensing-resistor. The predicted zero-crossing point of the inductor current is determined by the values of the input voltage, output voltage and predicted inductor current. Importantly, the prediction of zero-crossing point is achieved in just a single switching cycle. Therefore, the errors in predictive calculation caused by parameter variations can be compensated. The prediction of the zero-crossing point with the proposed method has been shown to have good accuracy. The proposed method also shows high stability towards variations in both the inductance and output power. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed predictive digital control method for PFC converters.

  • We proposed a novel segment type switched reluctance motor (SRM) in which the segment core was embedded in aluminum (conductive metal) rotor block in order to increase the mechanical strength and easy manufacturing as well as to improve the performance characteristics and reduce the vibration and acoustic noise. This paper explains the operation principle and the drive system and shows the experimental results in comparison with the VR type SRM.

  • In this paper we explain about systems developed to forecast the standing up of the dementia patients. Basic idea of our approach is to measure the respiration and body movements in the bed. Based on the data measured, forecasting of standing up action from the bed is possible to some extent. First system proposed uses an image processing technique. Data obtained about the respiration and movements are used to forecast the standing up of the patients. The second system uses ultrasonic sensors, which emits and receives ultrasonic signals. Two techniques f the ultrasonic sensors are considered. One technique is to emit ultrasonic burst signals and to detect the instance when ...
