It is desired to detect stenosis at an early stage to use hemodailysis shunt for longer time. Stethoscope auscultation of vascular murmurs is useful noninvasive diagnostic approach, but an experienced expert operator is necessary. Some experts often say that the high-pitch murmurs exist if the shunt becomes stenosed, and some studies report that there are some features detected at high frequency by time-frequency analysis. However, some of the murmurs are difficult to detect, and the final judgment is difficult. This study proposes a new diagnosis support system to screen stenosis by using vascular murmurs. The system is performed using artificial neural networks (ANN) with the analyzed frequency data by maximum entropy method (MEM). The author recorded vascular murmurs both before percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and after. Examining the MEM spectral characteristics of the high-pitch stenosis murmurs, three features could be classified, which covered 85 percent of stenosis vascular murmurs. The features were learnt by the ANN, and judged. As a result, a percentage of judging the classified stenosis murmurs was 100%, and that of normal was 86%.

The number of dialysis patients is approximately 300,000 and is increasing every year in Japan. A renal failure patient requires a hemodialysis shunt for dialysis to be performed; however, the blood vessels around the hemodialysis shunt may become stenosed. The stethoscope auscultation of vascular murmurs has some use in the assessment of access patency; however, this diagnostic approach is skill dependent. Therefore, a diagnostic support system to detect stenosis is desirable. We developed an auscultating diagnosis support system for assessing hemodialysis shunt stenosis by using a self-organizing map (SOM) and short-time maximum entropy method. In this paper, for the purpose of improving the accuracy of stenosis detection, the Mel-frequency cepstrum coefficient (MFCC)-based hidden Markov model (HMM) was also used. As a result, a high correlation between an SOM system and HMM system was found. Therefore, the credibility of the each system was confirmed. Furthermore, the results indicated that the accuracy of stenosis detection could be improved by combining the SOM and HMM methods.

The demand for navigation is rising as railway transportation services is becoming complex. Real-time data integration from multiple business systems is required for passenger-oriented navigation. Conventional mediators, real-time data integration technique which converts queries and data between business systems and applications based on their each schemes and mapping between them, can not follow expansion both of applications and business systems. In this paper, we propose a new mediator to solve the scalability problem with core-global scheme, which allows independednt mappings with each schemes of them and expresses principal components of business systems and applications. The 2 features of core-global scheme reduce effects of scheme changes on other mappings so that the mediator has scalability. Furthermore, we propose an architecture of the mediator that reduces effectivity loss of queries. We implemented a prototype and evaluated its scalability and query effectivity for an application of railway navigation.

The grid connection inverter is built in the PCS (Power Conditioning Subsystem) for the distributed power supply, such as photo voltaic system. Recently, there has been considerable advances in the research on power flow using PCS. In order to adjust the power in the PCS, it is necessary that the grid connection inverter of the PCS predicts the load and output fluctuation in the customer side. Therefore, this paper investigates a load estimation in the grid connection inverter of the PCS. The proposed estimation method adds a superimposing pseudo random binary sequence to the inverter reference. The validity of the proposed estimation method is verified experimentally. As a result, it is experimentally clarified that the estimation is possible even for inductive loads.

To improve the temperature characteristics of SC-cut oscillators without degrading their phase noise and short term stabilities, an oscillator circuit has been designed. This circuit uses an AT-cut resonator as a temperature reference of the output frequency, that is, the oscillation frequency of the SC-cut circuit traces the temperature characteristics of the AT-cut resonator. Experimental results show that the frequency stability for the temperature is improved 30 times better than normal oscillators.

Many researches have been done as for outdoor scene recognition by analyzing optical flow information. However, a practical driver-oriented system has not been proposed yet that notices the “Risk degree” when multiple obstacles exist, such as, parking cars and pedestrians. This article presents a new method to detect stand still obstacles using the “model flow” corresponding to optical flow field where there is no obstacle. The model flow is calculated using the knowledge as for navigation environments. Standard Points which are regularly set on image coordinates are transformed to Environment Points on road plane using several parameters such as, steering angle and camera tilt angle. Stand still objects are automatically detected by analyzing the difference between a model flow field and a real optical flow field which is acquired by an in-vehicle camera image. The algorithms have been installed in a desktop PC by Microsoft Visual C++6.0 programs. Experimental results by several kinds of outdoor scenes have shown the effectiveness of the proposed method. Total detection ratio is 91.0% and that in Dangerous case is 100%.

This paper presents a novel method for moving sound source localization and its performance evaluation in actual room environments. The method is based on the MUSIC (MUltiple SIgnal Classification) which is one of the most high resolution localization methods. When using the MUSIC, a computation of eigenvectors of correlation matrix is required for the estimation. It needs often a high computational costs. Especially, in the situation of moving source, it becomes a crucial drawback because the estimation must be conducted at every the observation time. Moreover, since the correlation matrix varies its characteristics due to the spatial-temporal non-stationarity, the matrix have to be estimated using only a few observed samples. It makes the estimation accuracy degraded. In this paper, the PAST (Projection Approximation Subspace Tracking) is applied for sequentially estimating the eigenvectors spanning the subspace. In the PAST, the eigen-decomposition is not required, and therefore it is possible to reduce the computational costs. Several experimental results in the actual room environments are shown to present the superior performance of the proposed method.

In this paper, an application of genetic algorithm for generation of evolutionary initial poses of a quadrupedal robot which reduced degrees of freedom is described. To reduce degree of freedom, each leg of the robot has a slider-crank mechanism and is driven by an actuator. Furthermore we introduced the forward movement mode and the rotating mode because the omnidirection movement should be made possible. To generate the suitable initial pose, the initial angle of four legs are coded under gray code and tuned by an estimation function in each mode with the genetic algorithm. As a result of generation, the cooperation of the legs is realized to move toward the omnidirection. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme is effective for generation of the suitable initial poses and the robot can walk smoothly with the generated patterns.

In this study, the possibility of the measurement of respiration, heart beat, and body movement on a bed was examined using the dynamic air-pressure sensor aiming at a daily health monitoring. The dynamic air-pressure sensor measures vital information using a change of air pressure. Twelve healthy volunteers participated in this study. The dynamic air-pressure sensor was installed under the bed mat and respiration and heart beat information were measured. This information was compared with the standard waveforms obtained from respiratory belt transducer and the electrocardiograph. As a result, both waveforms demonstrate a high correlation, and confirmed the validity of this method. A change of waveform and a quantitative evaluation of respiration, heart beat, and body movement measured from during sleep using this sensor can be useful for a daily health monitoring.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm based on Thymus Learning System (TLS) for elucidating an emergence of complexity generation which an elongation system generates with the self-nonself recognition mechanism. TLS has the immunological tolerance as an incorporation of non-self. TLS shows various interesting features from the viewpoint of the information engineernings such as immunological memory and tolerance, pattern recognition. We present that our immune system provides a suitable methology for a complexity emergent problem of the self-defense process in evolution.

Servitization of manufacturing industry has become important problem. However, there are very few studies which show specific methods in the manufacturing industry. In this paper, we propose a knowledge whitespace model concept as a value co-creation framework with customers based on Service Dominant Logic in the manufacturing industry. Separate the functions of the target service / product into two hierarchies, the application layer and the platform layer, and remove the functions other than the most important function. Therefore, this model intentionally creates knowledge whitespace and promotes value co-creation with customer. We analyzed concrete examples of development of multiple services and products and examined the effectiveness of the model focusing on relationships, information exchanged, co-created value.

Recently, we are concerned with security because picking and imitation on computer network are increasing. Then, the approach to individual identification from biometric is expected, because it can realize high reliability and it's a natural method. This paper's proposition is to construct individual identification system with the facial skin thermogram (FST) which is robust about illumination condition. FST has no shadow with illumination because it catches infrared rays light and makes an image. Then, we extract individual feature from FST by image processing and examine evaluation method to identify individual. However, facial skin temperature is ruled by autonomous nerve system. Especially, nasal skin temperature is affected by a mental influence like stress and arousal level. And we limited identification object to the measurement of face image in the rest state. We applied two dimensional discrete fourier transform (2DDFT) as a method of extracting individual feature, because we tried to convert the individual feature of FST into spatial frequency feature. Afterwards, we identified individual by pattern matching. Identification experiment was done in 30 registered patterns and 200 input patterns, consequently correct acceptance rate 91.0[%] and correct rejection rate 91.0[%] was able to be obtained. Moreover, we confirmed individual feature appeared in low frequency element of FST.

<p>In this paper, we propose a new intelligent security camera system, that is named COMDES, for automated detection of snatching incidents on streets during the night by using LSTM network. Although over a half of all snatching incidents occur at night, this has not been considered in past studies. Thus, we have proposed an intelligent security camera system using a deep neural network and snapshot of a video frame to detect snatching incidents in the night by our previous paper. The COMDES can perform more efficient detection of snatching than our previous paper, by using sequential frames observed in the criminal scene and LSTM. It can classifies the situations into criminal or non-criminal scenes precisely. The experimental results show that the system, COMDES, can effectively detect snatching incidents with an accuracy of 98.89%.</p>

<p>Asynchronous circuits are a technique in order to solve the some serious synchronous circuits' problems such as clock skew, power consumption and electromagnetic noise. In this paper, we designed histerisial variable-threshold gates based on neuron MOS transistors for asynchronous circuits. The proposed hysteresial variable-threshold gates are also expected usuful for neural networks or machine larning for the hysteresis, that is memory, characteristics. The developed gates having variable-threshold operations can be used to set a threshold of a neuron. The simulation results of hysteresial variable-threshold gates are provided with SPICE simulator. The synthesized hysterisial variable-threshold gates has three gate-inputs and two control wires. Then asynchronous half-adder is demonstrated as an arithmetic circuit example.</p>

<p>An alternative learning and its application to construct a robust object recognition system for intelligent security camera(RORSIS) is presented in this paper. We show some experimental results of the development of the new robust 3-D object recognition system for intelligent security camera. In this system, a deep neural network and alternative learning using 3-D CG are key techniques for object recognition from a free viewpoint. Alternative learning is effective approach for the machine learning that depends on huge amount of tarining data. Some appearance based characteristics are determined from captured images, and the system uses a deep neural network, called AlexNet, to automatically classify bicycle, automobile and so on. The proposed system shows that several kinds of equipments can be recognized from a free view point. Experimental results show that the system can effectively recognize four kinds of real objects with 99.5% accuracy.</p>

In a system that suppresses power fluctuation caused by wind power and solar power generation by a storage battery (We call it wind turbine and photovoltaic power generation system, WPBHS), it is assumed that the number of constituent equipment is large. Therefore, by dividing the constituent equipment into a plurality of groups (We call it grouping), the operation plan is optimized dispersedly. In this case, it has been shown that WPBHS has fault tolerance by overlapping storage batteries in plural groups. Also, enumerating the grouping in advance allows us to switch the grouping and recover the system immediately when a system failure occurs. Motivated by this, we consider an overlapped grouping optimization problem focused on the performance deterioration and fault tolerance of the distributed management system. Enumerating the group, especially, the overlapped group requires large computational load with the more devices added. First, this paper formulates overlapped grouping optimization for WPBHS. Second, this paper proposes a graph representation method of the overlapped grouping and a near-optimal enumeration method.
