Using detailed analysis of the stage structure of the kabuki-dance Kyōganoko Musume Dōjōji, as well as the legend of Dōjōji that comprises the background of the kabuki-dance, we present a 2D simulation system that uses music, lyrics, and images. A prototype system was then developed that complements...

Neurofeedback systems have been found to be effective in the clinical rehabilitation of paralysis. However, most systems exist only for use with electroencephalography, which is cumbersome to apply to patients and has lower spatial resolution than Magnetoencephalography (MEG). Furthermore, the best practices...

Widely recognized as providing vital services in the transportation sector, it is important to identify the determinants as well as estimate their impact on Michinoeki today. Seemingly, no research has studied their influence using data on all the 1107 Michinoeki established as of April 2017. To attain...

In recent years, data-driven control schemes that do not require system modeling have been actively studied. These schemes use only a set of experimental data to design a controller that realizes the desired reference output offline. However, it is necessary to consider the output response and the input...

In recent years, internet has widely used in different fields. To identify a specific device, we usually use the information which attains from network packets such as Internet Protocol (IP) address, Media Access Control (MAC) address and communication port, etc. However, using this kind of information...

This paper presents a data-driven scheme that can obtain the optimized Generalized Minimum Variance (GMV) control parameters by applying the Nelder–Mead (NM) method based on Proportional-Integral Derivative (PID) controller for linear system. An adjustable λ is included in the GMV-PID controller. In...

This paper introduces a low-cost indoor localization system using sound spectrum of light fingerprint. An Artificial Intelligence (AI), algorithm will be implemented in a low-cost Micro-Control Unit (MCU), to perform the localization function. The unique light fingerprints with complex and tiny differences...

With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) era, the concept of smart office has gradually come true. To facilitate the management, IoT devices often follow authentication mechanisms as windows domain used, which would cause severe problems once hackers steal those credentials. This study analyzes...

As the most important case management system in the school counseling work, the counseling service system must meet the needs and expectations of the school teacher-counselors (the main users). This investigation used the questionnaire survey method aimed at teacher-counselors in elementary schools in...

The vigorous development of the logistics industry provides a solid foundation for China’s economic prosperity. However, with the concept of “smart logistics” proposed, the transformation of the logistics industry to information technology presents great challenges. Aiming at the transportation problem...

In previous research, we developed a method to automate the conventional evaluation of eye misalignment (cover test) and distinguish misaligned eyes from their movements. However, this method had the problem that vertical eye movements were affected by the eyelids and eyelashes, and could not be completely...

Plant automation has become increasingly popular in various industries. However, errors are more likely to occur in difficult tasks that are often performed in an automated plant. Such tasks are often returned to the previous step, and re-executed in the event of a large-scale error. Therefore, it is...

According to the different emotional needs of infants, the effective acquisition of frame-level speech features is realized, and the infant speech emotion recognition model based on the improved Long- and Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network is established. The frame-level speech features are used instead...

In response to requests from visually impaired people for better assistance tools in their daily lives and due to the difficulty of using public transportation, it is proposed a bus boarding support system using MY VISION. For the support, a method of identifying a bus route number is proposed in this...

This paper presents a Generalized Predictive Control (GPC) design scheme based on database-driven approach for nonlinear systems. In industrial systems, lots of controlled plants with unknown time-delay and strong nonlinearity, are difficult to be handled in terms of control performance. The databased-driven...
