Respirator fit testing is required before entering specific work environmentals to ensure that the respirator worn satisfies a minimum of fit and that the user knows when the respirator fits properly. The fit of a respirator can be determined by qualitative (QLFT) or quantitative fit test (QNFT). The QNFT, having been universally accepted more than the QLFT, provide an objective and numerical basis by measuring a fit factor (FF). Until a few years age, only one QNFT technigue was available and accepted by U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. In the 1980's and 1990's, several new and fundamentally different QNFT methods were developed. Two of the newer methods are commercially availale and are accepted by OSHA as suitable alternatives. In this articles, the principle of operation of each ONFT technique is explained and each technique's major advantages and disadvantages are pointed out. Emphasis is given to negative-pressure air-purifying respirators, as they are in most frequent use today. The requirements and recommendations for fit testing positive-pressure respirators are discussed as well. Finally, the presently available QNFT standards and regulations are summarized to assist the user in making fit testing decisions.

GenBIST implemented in this paper is an automatic CAD tool, which can automatically generate circuitry in VerilogHDL code based on user defined information for the memory testing. While most commercial and conventional CAD tools adopt a method in which they make memory-testing algorithms as a library to generate circuitry, our tool can generate circuitry according to the user-defined algorithm, which makes application of various algorithms easier. In addition, memory BIST circuitry can be shared with other memories by supporting embedded memories in our tool. Also, extra pins for the memory testing are not requited when boundary scan technique is combined.

In ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) scheme, a user's secret key is associated with a set of attributes, and the ciphertext is associated with an access policy. The user can decrypt the ciphertext if and only if the attribute set of his secret key satisfies the access policy specified in the ciphertext. In the present schemes, access policy is sent to the decryptor along with the ciphertext, which means that the privacy of the encryptor is revealed. In order to solve such problem, we propose a CP-ABE scheme with hidden access policy, which is able to preserve the privacy of the encryptor and decryptor. And what's more in the present schemes, the users need to do excessive calculation for decryption to check whether their attributes match the access policy specified in the ciphertext or not, which makes the users do useless computation if the attributes don't match the hidden access policy. In order to solve efficiency issue, our scheme adds a testing phase to avoid the unnecessary operation above before decryption. The computation cost for the testing phase is much less than the decryption computation so that the efficiency in our scheme is improved. Meanwhile, our new scheme is proved to be selectively secure against chosen-plaintext attack under DDH assumption.

The concept of an agent has become important in computer science and has been applied to the number of application domains such electronic commerce and information retrieval. But, no one has proposed yet in software test. The test agent system applied the concept of an agent to software test is new test tool. It consists of the User Interface Agent. the Test Case Selection & Testing Agent and the Regression Test Agent. Each of these agents, with their intelligent rules, carry out the tests autonomously by empolying the object-oriented test processes. This system has 2 advantages. Firstly since the tests are carried our autonomously, it minimizes tester interference and secondly, since redundant-free and consistent effective test cases are intellectually selected, the testing time is reduced while the fault detection effectiveness improves. In this paper, by actually showing the testing process being carried out autonomously by the 3 agents that form the TAS, we show that the TAS minimizes tester interference. By also carrying out the 4 different types of experiments on the RE-Rule, CTS-Rule, overall TAS experiment, and the fault-detection effectiveness experiment on the RE-Rule, we show the cut-down on the testing time and improvement in the fault detection effectivity.

The present paper focuses on the comparison of user experience of mobile phone keypad and touchpad. Mobile phone has recently adopted a touchpad keyboard style and it gives users advantages and disadvantages as well. This paper examined usability, usefulness, affect and attitude of those two keyboard styles and disclosed interesting outcomes. First, keypad is better than touchpad in usefulness and usability. Second, touchpad is better than keypad in affect. Finally, touchpad is better than keypad in attitude. Overall, although touchapd is evaluated as worse keyboard in usability and usefulness, test subjects favored touchpad keyboard because it is more emotional and affective. It implies new digital device including mobile phone has to get more affective appeal to the young users and emotion will be a key point in digital consumption.

This paper presents a novel method for evaluating the usefulness of online product recommendation. Previous studies on evaluating recommendation systems have mostly relied on two methods : testing the accuracy of estimating user preferences by recommendation systems, or empirically testing the effectiveness with lab experiments involving human participants. The former does not measure the usefulness directly and hence can be misleading; the latter is expensive in that it requires a working online store System and test participants. In order to address the problems, the proposed approach uses simulation to imitate customer behavior and evaluate the usefulness of recommendation. Models for user behavior and an abstract Internet store are developed for simulation. Actual simulation experiments are performed to illustrate the use of the approach.

We introduce a display for virtual-reality (VR) fire training. Firefighters prefer to wear and operate a real breathing apparatus while experiencing full visual immersion in a VR fire space. Thus, we used a thin head-mounted display (HMD) with a light field and folded optical system, aiming to both minimize the volume for integration in front of the face into a breathing apparatus and maintain adequate visibility, including a wide viewing angle and resolution similar to that of commercial displays. We developed the optical system testing modules and prototypes of the integrated breathing apparatus. Through iterative testing, the thickness of the output optical module in front of the eyes was reduced from 50 mm to 60 mm to less than 20 mm while maintaining a viewing angle of 103°. In addition, the resolution and image quality degradation of the light field in the display was mitigated. Hence, we obtained a display with a structure consistent with the needs of firefighters in the field. In future work, we will conduct user evaluation regarding fire scene reproducibility by combining immersive VR fire training and real firefighting equipment.
