Falls detection systems have been developed in recent years because falls are detrimental events that can have a devastating effect on health of the elderly population. Current fall detecting methods mainly employ accelerometer to discriminate falls from activities of daily living(ADL). However, this makes it difficult to distinguish real falls from certain fall-like activities such as jogging and jumping. In this paper, an accurate fall detection system was implemented using two tri-axial accelerometers. By attaching the accelerometers on the chest and the abdomen, our system can effectively differentiate between falls and non-fall *** Diff and Sumiff parameter resulted in falls detection rate of 100%, respectively.

John Maeda is a past president of Rhode Island school of Design and an internationally known designer. He's now involved in helping entrepreneurs build design into their company cultures. Writer and educator Steven Heller pairs up with Tim Hoover, head of product and design at Canary, to talk about designer CEOs, start‐ups, and cutting out the middleman.
Algorithms for trajectory planning and control for a multiple-vehicles system are investigated. An issue of designing collision-free trajectories on a group of crossing paths is tackled. The trajectories are modeled a...

This paper presents a novel interval type-2 fuzzy logic control architecture for flocking system when the system has noisy sensor measurements. The traditional type-1 fuzzy logic controller (FLC) using precise type-1 fuzzy sets cannot fully model and handle the uncertainties of sensor data. However, type-2 FLC using type-2 fuzzy sets with a footprint of uncertainty (FOU) produces better performances under noisy environments. In this paper, therefore, we present a reactive control architecture for flocking algorithm that is based on interval type 2 FLC to implement the flocking behaviors consisting separation, obstacle avoidance, and velocity matching behaviors. The type-2 based control system could cope with the uncertainties of noisy sensor measurements and resulted in good performances that outperformed the type-1 FLC.
