Using a modified Posner's cue-target paradigm, we investigated whether negative cues attract more attention than neutral cues in anxious people. Previous studies used commonly an unbalanced proportion of valid and invalid trials(75% vs. 25% respectively). But in the present study, an equivalent proportion of valid and invalids trials was used for measuring detection speed of cues without participant's expectancy caused by the unbalanced proportion. Emotional words(Experiment 1) and facial expressions(Experiment 2) were used as cues for target locations. The result of Experiment 1 and 2 showed that threatening cues facilitated target detection in valid trials and interfered with it in invalid trials in anxious participants and a, reverse response patterns were found in non-anxious participants. This indicates that threatening cues attract more attention to the cued location in anxious people and in contrast, non-anxious people avoid threatening stimuli. In Experiment 3, we investigated the difference of validity effect across anxiety levels. The results showed that anxious participants gave less attention to cued location when the cues were non-informative whereas non-anxious participants gave more attention to cued locations in the same condition. We discussed two kinds of cognitive bias caused by anxiety levels: attentional bias and proportion related bias.

Judgment on the validity of patents on the subject of an arbitration does not. In other words, the occurrence of patents generated by the administrative action, and such administrative action by an authorized agency may be treated as legitimate until it is canceled. However, recent Supreme Court judgment on novelty and inventive step as well as judgments about the validity of the patent also made possible by the judiciary. This progress even in the mediation of an arbitral award which is premised on the validity of patents can be seen that possible. However, if the arbitration by an arbitrator if possible a certain portion of the limit exists. In other words, the effect of arbitration between the parties is valid. This patent is valid and invalid in arbitration even if the judgment relative to the effect ceases. In addition, the arbitration award and patent invalidation trial is in progress at the same time, if you consequently will reach a different conclusion. This can cause problems of double track. In addition, by extending the critical target recognition and enforcement in other countries can cause problems. Despite these problems, now about the validity of patents that it is possible intervention is necessary to discuss again.

This paper analyzes the straight line detection using the principal component analysis (PCA) and proposes its improved algorithm to which two new functions are added. The first function removes invalid pixels through the detected straight line and detects a line again. The second function detects lines from non-overlapped blocks, selects valid line candidates, and detects a valid line from pixels adjacent to each line candidate. The proposed algorithm detects a more accurate straight line with a low computation in comparison with the conventional algorithm in an image with somewhat refined lines.

This paper proposes a method to improve the mass spectral detection performance of the residual gas analyzer. By improving the mode estimation method for setting the threshold value and improving the additive noise elimination method, it is possible to detect mass spectrums having low peak values of the threshold level difficult to distinguish from noise. Ion signal blocks for each mass index with noise removed by the improved method are effective for eliminating invalid ion signals based on the linear and quadratic fittings. The mass spectrum can be obtained from the quadratic fitted curves for the reconstructed ion signal block using only the valid ion signals. In addition, the resolution of the mass spectrum can be improved by correcting the error caused by the shift of the spectral peak position. To verify the performance of the proposed method, computer simulations were performed using real ion signals obtained from the residual gas analysis system under development. The simulation results show that the proposed method is valid.

The NIOSH health hazard evaluation program (HHE program) was created in response to the mandate to determine the toxic effect and potential health hazard of workplace exposure, which is found in Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, A primary benefit of HHE program is its ability to provide current health hazard data to employers and employees, which assists them in identifying solutions to occupational health and safety problems in their workplaces, The HHE program also stimulates research in the development and review of sampling methods and diagnostic tests and may prompt additional exposure assesment efforts and toxicological and epidemiological studies. HHE projects also provide human exposure-toxicity data that are used to asses the validity of existing occupational health standards and to support criteria for new standards of recommendation, The HHE request is classified into four categories: 1) category 1: As a administratively invalid, 2) category 2: These are valid requests for which a site visit is not essential to an appropriate response, 3) Category 3 : These are valid requests for which a site visit is necessary for an adequate evaluation, 4) These are valid request which present a complex problem or an opportunity for research, To carry out HHE program one or methods of investigation might be used: 1) direct observation and evaluation of production processes and employee work practices 2) employees exposure level and air contamination level 3) medical test or physical examinations of employees 4) private, confidential interviews with employees 5) review of employer's record of injuries and illness, employee exposure data, medical tests and job histories. After investigation and analysing the data, NIOSH issues a final report, giving finding and recommendation.

Proportional capacitor current feedback active damping (CCFAD) has a limited valid damping region in the discrete time domain as (0, $f_s/6$. However, the resonance frequency ($f_r$) of an LCL-type filter is usually designed to be less than half the sampling frequency ($f_s$) with the symmetry regular sampling method. Therefore, ($f_s/6$, $f_s/2$) becomes an invalid damping region. This paper proposes an improved CCFAD method to extend the valid damping region from (0, $f_s/6$ to (0, $f_s/2$), which covers all of the possible resonance frequencies in the design procedure. The full-valid damping region is obtained and the stability margin of the system is analyzed in the discrete time domain with the Nyquist criterion. Results show that the system can operate stably with the proposed CCFAD method when the resonance frequency is in the region (0, $f_s/2$). The performances at the steady and dynamic state are enhanced by the selected feedback coefficient H and controller gain $K_p$. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed CCFAD method are verified by simulation and experimental results.

There has been increasing interest in recent years in the pedagogical importance of counter-examples that focuses on pedagogical perspectives. But there is no research that undergraduate students' generating counter-examples and proposing the true statements. This study analyze 6 undergraduate students' response to interview tasks and the process of their generating counter-examples and proposing true statements. The results of interviews are that the more undergraduate students generate various counter-examples, the more valid they propose true statements. If undergraduate students have invalid understanding of logical implication and generate only one counter-example, they would not propose true statements that modify the given statement, preserving the antecedent. In pre-service teacher's education and school mathematics class, we need to develop materials and textbooks about counter-examples and false statements.

Viola & Jones' object detection algorithm is a very good algorithm for the face component(FC) detection, but there are still problems such as duplicate detection, false detection and non-detection due to parameter setting. This paper proposes an improved FC detection algorithm that applies the variable parameter to reduce non-detection and the verification to reduce duplicate detection and false detection to the Viola & Jones' algorithm. The proposed algorithm reduces the non-detection by changing the parameter value of the Viola & Jones' algorithm until the potential valid FCs are detected, and eliminates the duplicate detection and the false detection by using the verification that evaluates size, position, and uniqueness of the detected FCs. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm includes valid FCs in the detected objects and then detects only the valid FCs by removing invalid FCs from them.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to extract valid planar regions from stereo images for visual navigation of mobile robots. The algorithm is based on the difference image between the stereo images obtained by applying Homography matrix between stereo cameras. Illegal planar regions are filtered out by the use of labeling of the difference images and filtering of invalid blobs using the size of each blob. Also, illegal large planar regions such as walls are removed by adopting a weighted low-pass filtering of the difference image using the past difference images. The algorithms are experimented successfully by the use of stereo camera system built in a mobile robot and a PC-based real-time vision system.

There are cases that revoke the certification because of disclosure of private key, deprivation of qualification and the expiration of a term of validity based on PKI. So, a user have to confirm the public key whether valid or invalid in the certification. There are many method such as CRL, Delta-CRL, OCSP for the cert-validation of certification. But these method many problems which are overload traffic on network and the CRL server because of processing for cert-validation of certification. In this paper we proposed the realtime cert-validation of certification method which solved problems that are data integrity by different time between transmission and receiving for CRL, and overload traffic on network and the CRL server based on DARC.
