  • For elderly people, an advanced training machine that uses actuator and can adjust load according to muscle activity is proposed. The proposed machine allows users to have a safe and effective training through exercise close to ordinal motion appears in daily life such as stretching or stooping motion. A muscle activity sensor real-timely monitors the activation level of user's muscle during the exercise and the training load is adjusted based on the measured data. The training load is exerted and continuously controlled by electric/pneumatic actuator.

  • In this paper, we present a system which enables a real-time measurement of the number and also the body length of the fry (baby fish) using a line image sensor. Here, we consider a situation that fry are transported from a pond to another, pond through a pipe. At one position of the pipe a transparent rectanglar channel is mounted. The images of the fry, which run through this rectanglar channel, are detected by a line image sensor. The image signals are digitized to binary ones and the contour of the fry are detected. After that, a real-time image analysis is executed with a digital signal processor. Labeling program analyses the connection of every pixel. The results are transfered to a personal computer and displayed on the online monitor graphically.

  • The samples of cultured flounder (Paralichtys olivaceus) were collected from Tongyeong and Yosu in Korea and Nagasaki in Japan and processed to analyses of body and serum. Body size and weight were not significantly different between Korea and Japan produced. But the body weight of average size of flounder produced from Nagasaki was the highest from the samples. The average of fish body was not significantly different from the samples. The water content of fish body was lower in samples from Nagasaki and fat content was higher in the samples from Nagasaki and followed by Yosu and Tongyeong. The percentage of body water, fat and protein contents was Nagasaki, Yosu and Tongyeong in the order of high values. Japanese flounder showed relatively high content of body fat and muscle. The cholesterol of serum was highest in the samples of Yosu. The triglyceride of serum was highest in the samples of Nagasaki. Lipoprotein was highest in the samples of Nagasaki and enriched fat content in LDL fraction.

  • We propose an electric wheelchair that is suitable for the upper-limbs disabled with sufficient operability and low expenses. Features of this wheelchair, 1) By instating a simple mechanical module, existing electric wheelchairs can be readily converted to a special version for the upper-limbs disabled. 2) The electric wheelchair can be freely operated by motion of a head. 3) A vision system to assure safety operation by the disabled is introduced.

  • In this paper, two representative schemes for vector control of induction motor without speed sensor are studied. First, the two sensorless systems which are implemented by voltage and current source are presented with new ideas and interpretations. Then a linear model around an operating point is proposed. Finally, the stability improvement of these systems are studied and evaluated by computing the trajectories of poles and zeros.

  • In this paper, one simple technique to calibrate the system setting of the three-dimensional measuring system is presented. Due to this technique, the three-dimensional shape of the huge structures and the buildings can be readily obtained. This technique is applied to the three-dimensional landscape simulation. Two examples are shown in this paper.

  • We have been studing sensitive non-enzymatic chemiluminescence (CL) imaging methods for the detection of DNA. For one of our methods, a unique chemical derivatization reagent. 3'. 4', 5'-trimethoxyphenylglyoxal (TMPG) was utilized. This reagent reacted specifically with guanine bases in nucleic acids to quickly produce a chemiluminescent derivative under mild reaction conditions. (omitted)
