This paper proposes a view direction-based human computer interface(HCI) system using image observation and EMG signal. CCD camera is available for observation relatively small angular view direction. Large angle is recognized by measuring EMG signal of the sternocleidomastoideus, because it is difficult to detect the large angular view direction by CCD observation. From experimental results, we show the proposed HCI system is useful for the disabled.

The purpose of study correlation between 3D-surface topography and Cobb angle in scoliotic patients. It would be recognizing possibility of clinical application with 3D-surface topography with scoliosis assessment and correlation analysis of obtained Cobb angle through measured results of surface topography and took X-ray of subjects with scoliosis, which used to 3D-surface topography of laser scan method. A scoliosis subjects 16(males 4, females 12) agreed for study's purport volunteer our study that diagnose the scoliosis through 3D-surface topography and X-ray. The results were as follow: It was shown that the relation of Cobb angle of scoliosis and itemized 3D-surface topography measurement in horizontal view(p<0.01). top difference of cervicothoracic and lumbar in anterior-posterior view(p<0.05), the top difference of thoracic, thoracolumbar(p<0.01). These results suggest that an itemized 3D-surface topography measurement was highly correlated with Cobb angle. It would be a useful diagnosis method and assessment of physical therapy plan.

Performances of LCDs are generally evaluated in terms of luminance and color versus viewing angle. In the present paper we show that this type of display can be favorably characterized in terms of polarization. We show that ELDIM EZContrast instrument can be used to measure the degree of polarization the light and the ellipticity and polarization direction of the polarized component. This measurement is made versus incidence angle between 0 and $88{\circ}$ and for all the azimuth angles. Important differences between the displays can be detected and related to their internal structures when luminance and color profiles are quite similar.

This report makes an important correction to estimating angular dependent emission pattern of Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs). Today, experiments on measuring angular light intensity of OLEDs are conducted without considering the difference between the view angle identified by photodiode and the actual angle being measured. ITO-TPD-$Alq_3$-LiF-Al Organic Light-Emitting Diode was used to find out the degree of the error. In this case, the difference in average was about $1^*$, which is highly significant. Since the difference varies from case to case, the need for adjustment must be evaluated for each case.

In this paper based on geometric optics and geometric modeling aspheric surface of the side mirror mold with dead angle reduced have been designed and machined in a CNC machining center, Surface roughness of the mold was evaluat-ed by usin the surface shaping system. Surface generating simulation of a ball endmill process is investigated. Through the simulation based on the surface-shaping system 3-D engineered surfaces and properties of engineered surfaces are obtained, Computer simulation provides the effective working conditions through the prediction of geometric properties of engineered surfaces. The rear view mirror and room mirror play important role on the safe driving condition as a observation of environment but the rear view mirror can not provide complete information of driving environments due to the existence of the dead angle. The analysis on the shape of formed mirror shows that the proposed me？ improves range of a driver's sight.

This paper presents the study on orientations interpolation of 6-axis articulated robot using quaternion. In this paper, we propose a control algorithm between given two orientations of 6-axis articulated robot by using a quaternion with spherical linear interpolation. In order to study the quaternion interpolation, We created Inverse kinematics program and Interpolation program using LabVIE$^{(R)}$. The rotation angle of each axis were calculated using both euler orientations interpolation program and quaternion orientations interpolation program. The proposed control algorithm is shown to be effective in terms of motor angles and torques when compared to a conventional Euler angle interpolation, by using both LabVIEW$^{(R)}$ and RecurDyn$^{(R)}$.

If a patient wearing arm sliding due to shoulder dislocation or fracture is impossible with abduction, the velpeau view is performed instead of superior-inferior axial projection view. However, it aggravates the patient's pain because it is difficult for the patient with dislocation or fracture to pull back the shoulders. Therefore, I suggest a new method of the 'modified velpeau view' that allows patients to lower their heads at examination. In order to investigate the easiness of fixing posture at examination and clinical utility, I conducted a study comparing the bone structures at the velpeau view and those at the modified velpeau view depending on wall-bucky and the patients' leaning forward angle ($30^{\circ},\;45^{\circ},\;60^{\circ}\;and\;75^{\circ}$), with the subjects of 20 velpeau view-prescribed patients amongst who had come to my hospital suspected of dislocation of shoulder or fracture and 30 healthy people from October of 2009 to January of 2010. Department of radiologists and orthopedics specialists evaluated the pictures for scales 0 to 5(best grade) under the given criteria. As a result of comparison in bone structures depending on wall-bucky and the leaning-forward angle in the group of healthy people, the velpeau view and the modified velpeau showed a similar diagnostic utility at $45^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$. The picture evaluation result for proving diagnostic value showed that the anterior and posterior of shoulder heads and the anterior and posterior of glenoid fossa could be observed in the velpeau view; on the other hand, besides these areas acromioclavicular joint and coracoid process could be viewed in the modified velpeau view. This result verified that the modified velpeau view could replace the velpeau view for its diagnostic value as an examination method. This result, moreover, suggests that the modified velpeau view needs to be studied and improved from a variety of perspectives not only for an alternative for patients having troubles with the velpeau view position but also for clinical application of new test method for diagnosis of shoulder disorders other than dislocation of shoulder or fracture.

A composite guidance law for impact angle control against nonstationary nonmaneuvering targets is proposed. The proposed law is based on the characteristics of proportional navigation and generates two kinds of guidance commands during the homing phase. The first command is to keep the desired look angle, and the second is to attack the target with impact angle constraint. The switch of guidance phases occurs when the specific light-of-sight(LOS) angle determined from the engagement information is satisfied. The calculation method of the maximum achievable impact angle is also proposed to design easily the desired impact angle within the missile capability. Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the performance and characteristics of the proposed law.

This study is to calculate the proper angle for the optimal image of PNS Water's view on children, comparing and analyzing the PNS Water's projection angles between children and adults at every age. This study randomly selected 50 patients who visited the Medical Center from January to May in 2005, and examined the incidence path of central ray, taking a PNS Water's and skull trans-Lat. view in Water's filming position while attaching a lead ball mark on the Orbit, EAM, and acanthion of the patients's skull. And then, we calculated the incidence angles(Angle A) of the line connected from OML and the petrous ridge to the inferior margin of maxilla on general(random) patients's skull image, following the incidence path of central ray. Finally, we analyzed two pieces of the graphs at ages, developing out the patients' ideal images at PNS Water's filming position taken by a digital camera, and calculating the angle(Angle B) between OML and IP(Image Plate). The angle between OML and IP is about $43^{\circ} in 4-years-old children, which is higher than $37^{\circ}, as age increases the angle decreases, it goes to $37^{\circ} around 30 years of age. That is similar result to maxillary growth period. We can get better quality of Water's image for children when taking the PNS Water's view if we change the projection angles, considering maxillary growth for patients in every age stage.

Objective : To measure the orientation of the facet joints of cervical spine (C-spine) segments in the sagittal plane, known as the pedicle-facet (P-F) angle, and to use these measurements to evaluate the relationship between the P-F angle and the amount of vertebral anterolisthesis in patients with degenerative cervical spondylolisthesis (DCS). Methods : A retrospective case-control study was performed including 30 age- and sex-matched patients with DCS and 30 control participants. Anterior-posterior and lateral view radiographs of the C-spine were obtained in a standing position. The P-F angle at all cervical levels and the amount of anterolisthesis at C4-5 were measured from lateral view plain radiographs. Results : The P-F angles at C4-5 were $141.14{\pm}7.14^{\circ}$ for the DCS group and $130.53{\pm}13.50^{\circ}$ (p=0.012) for the control group, and at C5-6 were $137.46{\pm}8.53^{\circ}$ for the DCS group and $128.53{\pm}16.01^{\circ}$ for the control group (p=0.001). The mean P-F angle at C4-5 did not correlate with the amount of anterolisthesis (p=0.483). The amount of anterior slippage did correlate with age (p<0.001). Conclusion : The P-F angle was intrinsically higher at C4-5, compared to C5-6, in both the DCS and control groups, which might explain the increased likelihood for anterolisthesis of C4. Higher P-F angles in the DCS group may be a predisposing factor to slippage. The P-F angle may interact with age to increase incidence of anterolisthesis with increasing age.
