This work presents two applications of a novel tool developed for the approximate calculation of behavior in the domain of the frequency of Multirate Sampled-Data controlsystems. The cases presented here focus on the designing of digital regulators that operate with more than one sampling frequency, the aim being to stabilize the system in closed loop using relatively low sampling frequencies of the plant output.

Amblyopia students lack of visual-sight ability to read a book, so they need the magnifier to help them read the words. Without the normal eyesight ability for amblyopia students, they need a convenient and low-cost tool to help them read easily. Not only for the amblyopia students, the elder with the growth of age also need a tool to help them read conveniently. With the decreasing of the computer cost and the prevalence of computer technology, every household has computer at home. How to use a computer-aided system as supportive tool to read the book becomes an economic way for amblyopia people. Therefore, the main purpose of this research is to implement a computer-aided magnifer system with digital zooming technique for eye-impaired. The system can extract the images or words through software module to enlarge the images or words on the screen to help eye-impaired read.

This paper studies the trade-off between energy consumption and food quality loss, at varying ambient conditions, in supermarket refrigeration systems. Compared with the traditional operation with pressure control, a large potential for energy savings without extra loss of food quality is demonstrated. We also show that by utilizing the relatively slow dynamics of the food temperature, compared with the air temperature, we are able to further lower both the energy consumption and the peak value of power requirement. The Pareto optimal curve is found by off-line optimization.

Presently, breakthrough industrial technology and scientific technology produce various instruments of downscale and weight saving. But the metal parts are widely used for magnetic motors. It is difficult to lighten the weight and to miniaturize the motor. Therefore, we need small, light actuators that can be built into motor. We focus attention on the polymer material artificial muscle that responds to electrical stimulation with a significant shape or size change. In this research, the artificial muscle was produced by using the conductive grease and the polymer material. We used several kinds of polymer material films in our experiments to compare the performance of them. The displacement when the voltage is applied to electrode was measured. At last the result and conclusion are given.

In this paper simple techniques based on nonlinear geometric transformations are presented for creating an effective 3D impression (stereovision or illusion of depth) from a single 2D original. Our aim is to propose semi-automatic ways to transform 2D images into their suggestive but plausible 3D anaglyph versions. Three conversion methods based on a binary depth map are proposed and the influence of various RGB component shifts on the 3D impression quality is studied.

The paper presents an ongoing investigation of applying finite state machines (FSM) to drive a meal assistance robot based on electromyogram (EMG) signals. An adapting single-threshold method on EMG power is proposed to recognize different elevation gestures. Predefined control commands are output by FSM based on the extracted EMG features, and used to operate the robot. The performance of control mode is tested in efficiency and comfortableness by both subjective and objective indices. And the high performance of the EMG-control meal assistance robot makes it feasible for users with upper limbs motor disabilities.

For improving the operability of an omni-directional wheelchair provided with a power assist system, the system must be able to adapt to the individual characteristics of the many different attendants that will use it. For achieving this purpose, an innovative human-interface using a touch panel that provides easy input and feedback information in real time of the operation of a power-assisted wheelchair was developed. The system was tested experimentally with many different attendants and the results show that in addition to providing a human friendly interface by using the touch panel system with a monitor, the system can successfully adapt to the particular habits of the attendants. Furthermore, control of the rotation center of the OMW is proposed by making use of the OMW's potential advantage and coordination transformation.

Two techniques are combined during the design of an optimal controller: Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) and Multi-objective Genetic Algorithms (MOGAs). In this paper the LMI optimization technique is used to obtain a single controller while MOGA is used to convert the controller design into a multi-objective optimization procedure. The combination of these techniques is proposed in this document and is shown to be advantageous against independent application of the aforementioned techniques. It is also presented how the sensitivity and complementary sensitivity functions are shaped with the weighting functions, while restricting the magnitude of the control signals by adding them as a hard objective in the MOGA approach.

An automatic sleep stage determination system dealing with the sleep data contaminated by artifacts is developed, which is working on an expert knowledge-based multi-valued decision making method. The knowledge database is consisted of probability density functions of parameters for various sleep stages according to the visual inspection by a qualified clinician. The probability density functions are approximated by Cauchy distribution on histograms. Sleep stages are determined automatically according to the maximum value of conditional probability. Due to the infinite variance of Cauchy distribution, the effect of mis-determination caused by artifacts can be abated. The result of automatic sleep stage determination was satisfactory. The presented automatic sleep stage determination can be an assistant tool for clinical practice.
