Our theoretical findings on instability of Faraday waves at megahertz (MHz) drive frequency and realization of silicon-based MHz multiple-Fourier horn ultrasonic nozzles (MFHUNs) together have enabled generation of mono-disperse droplets of controllable diameter (2.5-6.0 μm) at very low electrical drive power (<0.5 Watt). The resulting battery-run clogging-free droplet generator has imminent application to pulmonary (inhalation) drug delivery and other potential applications. Here an update of advances on analysis and design of the MHz MFHUNs and the underlying physical mechanism for generation of mono-disperse micro droplets, and the nebulizer platform for application to detoxification of cyanide poisoning are presented.

The unique aquatic nature of swimming makes it very difficult to use social or technical strategies to mitigate the tediousness of monotonous exercises. In this study, we propose MobyDick, a smartphone-based multi-player exergame designed to be used while swimming, in which a team of swimmers collaborate to hunt down a virtual monster. In this paper, we present a novel, holistic game design that takes into account both human factors and technical challenges. Firstly, we perform a comparative analysis of a variety of wireless networking technologies in the aquatic environment and identify various technical constraints on wireless networking. Secondly, we develop a single phone-based inertial and barometric stroke activity recognition system to enable precise, real-time game inputs. Thirdly, we carefully devise a multi-player interaction mode viable in the underwater environment highly limiting the abilities of human communication. Finally, we prototype MobyDick on waterproof offthe- shelf Android phones, and deploy it to real swimming pool environments (n = 8). Our qualitative analysis of user interview data reveals certain unique aspects of multi-player swimming games. Copyright 2014 ACM.

The environment surrounding the automotive industry is becoming increasingly severe, but automotive companies will secure competitiveness and continue to develop attractive products. In the meantime, to create new value, the integration information system, social systems, and transportation system is progressing remarkably. At the same time, the responsibility for safety and reliability of control software, which becomes complicated, must not be avoided.

Researches on personalization services with context awareness under a mobile environment are being conducted actively. Majority of them focus on user profile-based learning which is in need of personalization or context-awareness-based reasoning technique and does not cover the emotional aspect of users. In order to sense emotion information, which may not easily be sensed from users, this research analyzed the tendency of positive/negative aspects of emotional expressive language, which was sorted from a psychological emotion model using AHP. Interrelationship analysis and matching between certain emotional expressive language and cognized context were performed as well. A survey was carried out among 100 persons in their early 20s and the result of the survey was analyzed via AHP. 91.6% of the test group showed that there was strong interrelation between certain context information and positive emotion expressive language. Therefore, an emotional personalization service that uses universal emotion expressive language may be provided for accurate context awareness to be performed.

Partitioned global address space (PGAS) applications, such as the Tensor Contraction Engine (TCE) in NWChem, often apply a one-process-per-core mapping in which each process iterates through the following work-processing cycle: (1) determine a work-item dynamically, (2) get data via one-sided operations on remote blocks, (3) perform computation on the data locally, (4) put (or accumulate) resultant data into an appropriate remote location, and (5) repeat the cycle. However, this simple flow of execution does not effectively hide communication latency costs despite the opportunities for making asynchronous progress. Utilizing nonblocking communication calls is not sufficient unless care is taken to efficiently manage a responsive queue of outstanding communication requests. This paper presents a new runtime model and its library implementation for managing tunable “work queues” in PGAS applications. Our runtime execution model, called WorkQ, assigns some number of on-node “producer” processes to primarily do communication (steps 1, 2, 4, and 5) and the other “consumer” processes to do computation (step 3); but processes can switch roles dynamically for the sake of performance. Load balance, synchronization, and overlap of communication and computation are facilitated by a tunable nodewise FIFO message queue protocol. Our WorkQ library implementation enables an MPI+X hybrid programming model where the X comprises SysV message queues and the user's choice of SysV, POSIX, and MPI shared memory. We develop a simplified software mini-application that mimics the performance behavior of the TCE at arbitrary scale, and we show that the WorkQ engine outperforms the original model by about a factor of 2. We also show performance improvement in the TCE coupled cluster module of NWChem.

This paper introduces an altitude control technique on coaxial-helicopter. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been widely used with high performance computer (HPC) so far. Generally, advanced mathematics is used for flight control of the UAV on the HPC. However. the HPC has several problems, such as increase of cost and processing delays in calculation. We present a technique that performs the same control performance by using a low performance computer. In order to implement this technique, the limited pole placement (LPP) control is used for a prototype of electrical motor driven helicopter. Then, it is able to find out the critical efficiency of the control system considering time delay. Finally, this paper presents the good validation results by the experiment of the altitude control of the helicopter.

The ultrasonic vibration energy for Cu-Cu bonding by flip-chip bonding technology was evaluated in ambient air. Transmissibility of ultrasonic vibration is assumed to be different in bump structure with height or low stiffness. Therefore, we investigated the bonding strength of Cu bump with the different aspect ratio (bump height: 5 μm, 20 μm, and 40 μm). As a result, the Cu bumps with 20 μm height were properly bonded with sufficient bonding strength, compared with the others. In addition, there were no significant voids at Cu-Cu interface of well-bonded Cu bump.
